At about three AM, the alarms sound once again and Morrison's voice comes over the intercom.

"This is terrible! Senior Councilor Elion has been murdered! We've apprehended the culprit, thankfully, but..."

The video feed clicks on, centering on the face of the murderer:



Raidou looks confused, even shell-shocked. He's bound in tight chains with a number of mystic runes hovering around him.

Morrison looks grim.

"Nasty work. He used Phe-lai, a dread poison that kills the soul as well as the body. Senior Councilor Elion is gone... forever. Even our healers do not have the ability to resurrect him.

We're launching an investigation, no Enforcer should even be able to obtain Phe-lai without explicit approval from 30 senior councilors and 60 councilors. The Overseers have already attended to this issue... Raidou Kuzunoha is to be executed within three weeks, the current day is slated to be June 8th. As usual, I'll be in my office with my communicator on if you have questions.

We do not know if he had any further accomplices, but he was alone when he committed the crime. Be wary, everyone.

[Congratulations, Morrison, you've gotten Souji back to HQ for more than fifteen seconds at a time]

There is no possible way that Raidou did this. I assume there's going to be some form of trial?

I see. So you need some kind of reverse-probable-cause, like in Earth-AA.

Sir.

Has Raidou been questioned yet? As long as I'm not allowed to be investigating the world disappearance, I might as well do an informal investigation here.

Permission to ask him a few things then. He'll trust me more than most other people here.

Execution in three weeks?! He needs to stand trial for his crimes before any sentence can be carried out!

...Very well. I have experience in murder investigations. I shall conduct my own and see to it myself that there is no miscarriage of justice in this case!

M-murdered...?

[Roxas stares at Raidou in the background.]

...

Whoever's doing this is really in need to be smacked down. This isn't okay.

But really, if it's an enforcer who did this and only councilors can get that poison, wouldn't councilors have to be involved? Mind control and such, there's stranger magic around. Come on, you're not supposed to hide behind other people in plots!

[Silent Tenshi is pretty much silent. She does have the good grace not to mock the possibly-dead-as-far-as-we-are-told, at least.]

[Even though he's not buying this, Minato remains silent for a moment. He's met Raidou before, and he didn't seem like the type of person who would do something like this.]

Will an investigation be carried out?

From: [identity profile] evokesdeath.livejournal.com
I see... Thank you.

[Two investigations at a time sound like a challenge, but he can't just ignore either of them.]

Is it always this exciting around here?

I have one more question, Sergeant. On what evidence have you arrested Enforcer Kuzunoha?

Date: 2010-05-21 10:10 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] raven-pursuer.livejournal.com
And I presume the autopsy has already been performed, given that we know the cause of his death. That said, did the wound match the murder weapon? And what was the time of death?

. . . That's absurd!

I request permission to read the suspect's mind. Enforcer Raidou hasn't got the means to hide anything from me -- I've brushed his mind in the past.

Further requesting permission to view the footage of the murder. I'll bet ten to one that the truth has been concealed through the use of illusion.

But --

[Wait what. No exhausting rigmarole about "proper procedure", "rules and regulations", "too dangerous", etc. etc. etc.? Ivan is temporarily stunned.]

I-I'm on it! I swear I'll do everything in my power. Where is he being held?

[Ivan dashes off. He stops by Edgeworth's office on the way, but otherwise heads directly to the cell.]

((I'll contact Shini about this over AIM in a few hours, if that's alright.))

... No trial. At all?

So... what would happen if say... it turns out that he didn't do it but you only find this out AFTER you kill him?

Senior Councilor Elion was what?!

'I think I'm going to be sick....'

H-he what?

B-but... That can't be... He'd never-!
