TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

> Ask for details.



"Well, can you at least tell me anything interesting about the crime scene?" you ask, laying on the signature Amjad charm.

The cop hands you a few sheets of paper. "Here. Knock yourself out. It's a copy of our crime scene notes. Mr. Mugg said it was okay to give you this much."



You glance through the documents. The victim, one Allie Dyle, was stabbed to death in her sitting room. 37 times, even, so it looks like Gio's information wasn't wrong. The knife was found next to the body and matches the stab wounds; there's a note next to it that says that the knife is similar to one that Gio was on record as buying recently. Looks like the murder happened around lunchtime, which means it contradicts nicely with the receipts you got from the law office.

You scratch your head. It sounds like the only evidence they have on Gio is this knife - and from the sketch of the knife that's included, it looks your typical filet knife. Plus, they have evidence that Gio can't have been there at the time of the murder. You knew the church was corrupt, but this still seems odd for them - if they wanted to convict Gio, they certainly are going above and beyond to provide him with plausible deniability. It's overall confusing, is what you mean; it feels like there's something going on here that you haven't yet caught on to.

You stash the notes in your inventory.



It's getting late. You should take care of any last-minute things you need to do, then get some food and sleep. It wouldn't do to show up to court tomorrow morning half-dead.
