Anime Murder 2
Day 4
The morning opens with Andy saying that they lost a member of the 10-investigator group and sees a lot of stress in the other 9 investigators' eyes.
"Today is Debbie Smith's funeral and it's the best time to see all our suspect together in one spot," said Andy.
Li delivers the clue that she discovered the night before: the wreckage of a ship by the name of Bonnie Rose. Andy informs the investigators that the Bonnie Rose was destroyed in an accident in 1971 and the owner of the boat was Eric Rose who was Carmen Rose's husband.
Team 1: Carmen Rose
Investigate "Bonnie Rose" Boat Accident
Identify Eric Rose
Team 1 is assign to Li, and Sai Saici."I suggest that they formally question Tina Ryan. From the pictures that they found in Robert's clock and she has to be question about it," said Andy.
Team 2: Tina Ryan.
Question relationship with Robert Smith
Compare with alibi with Fred Johnson
Team 2 is assign to Ash, Alfred and Ulrick.
Finally, since Johnson is both at the funeral and one of their prime suspects.
Andy suggests it's a good time for a little breaking in and entering. It's seems that Johnson's cabin is now ripe for the plucking, so the third team will send the team of investigators to search his home. Being the good cop that he is, Andy reminds the group that they don't have a search warrant and thus need to be extremely careful to not disturb the environment in question.
Team 3: Fred Johnson.
Search cabin for evidence
Team 3 will be Conan, Jim, Shute and Yahiko and Timmy Ford will help him on this mission.
With everyone's fully into place, Rev Bernie Knight a pastor and a suspect, giving a eulogy at a memorial. The investigators on Team 1 and 2 are in attendance, while those on Team 3 approach the "well-kept" estate of Fred Johnson. Back at the funeral, Rev. Knight begins to look at like a suspect that he is. While remembering Sandra Smith, Knight becomes lost in thought, calling her young and vibrate before adding that she was pious. It seems that young Sandra was a volunteer at Knight's church.
After Knight was done, Paul Dixon (suspect) takes the podium while initially sounding mournful, Dixon goes to the discuss the founding of the Smith Foundation which will "do the things that Robert would want." When Dixon says this, Johnson stalks off and heads for his truck, forcing Alfred to warn Team 3.
Meanwhile Team 3 are having a hard time getting in when they do they uncover a living room filled with toys.
Back at the funeral Alfred runs up to Johnson's truck. Back at the memorial service, Dixon is continuing his explanation of the Smith Foundation and the hotel that he is sure Robert would have want him to build. Behind Dixon, a man in a tuxedo (the same tuxedo uniform from the first chapter and Ash calls them the "Tuxedo Men") comes out of the car followed by Gen. Daniel McKay, suspect and a Mind/Science leader. McKay waste no time in telling Dixon that he is delivering a commercial and not a eulogy. Alfred had coaxed Johnson out of his truck by asking by asking him what this "Connor's" first name is they were taking about before. Clever, McKay, now fully control back in memorial service, goes on to say that he loves Moonlight and the best way to memorialize the Smith's is to preserve the heritage of the town. He concludes by saying Dixon and his business plans will destroy the land that he loves.
Back on Team 3, the investigators and Ford discover a bloody bath with a bag in it. Upon this discovery we flash back to Alfred talking to Johnson outside of his truck.
"Things are not looking to good for me right now," said Johnson.
Johnson goes to the cemetery for a while drink, at the cabin, the investigators found a freezer with a pool of blood leaking from it. At the funeral Debbie Smith's casket is being lowered, and the investigators are pursuing their leads. Li and Sai Saici talk with Carmen and they observe a drunk Johnson rambling through the cemetery. Carmen finally says she wants to visit her dead husband and Li and Sai Saici offered to escort her to her husband's grave.
Back at Johnson's cabin.
"Something was missing when I was upstairs. Its seems that Fred Johnson of an obsession for Ms. Ryan, as evidence by the fish hooks through the eyes of a picture of Robert Smith, indicating that he was well aware of the little affair in which the two people were engaged," said Conan.
On Team 2, Ash and Ulrich ask Tina Ryan if she knew Robert Smith that well.
"I help fix his cars, but I don't really know him," said Tina.
Ash and Ulrich, knowing the pictures inside Smith's clocks indicate a somewhat different view of reality, convinces to meet Tina the next day, where she could be more questioned fully. Meanwhile Li, Sai Saici and Carmen arrive at the grave of Eric Rose only to be found out that it been recently been dug up and refilled. Rose immediately start claming the people who did this and they still remember. Sai Saici calls Ford to help them at the grave.
Day 5
The next day, the group goes over it discoveries from the day before. They found out that Eric Rose died in an explosion and she thinks she knows who stole the body. The mission for Team 1 is thus to investigate this thief. Since Tina Ryan didn't admit she had an affair with Robert Smith, Team 2's mission new mission is to confront Tina at the wake she promised to meet them at. The human blood found at Johnson's home was won by the investigators a search warrant. Serving that warrant is the new mission for Team 3.
On Team 2 Ulrick sits down with Tina and they listen to Janet Mitchell's rather disturbing remembrance of her best friend Sandra. Tina just asks Ash to come to her house. When confronting by the pictures, Tina admits to having an affair, but she has no idea who took the pictures and swears she really loves Robert.
On Team 1, the investigators arrive at the hospital where Rose is under sedation. They found out that Daniel McKay was Rose first boyfriend and that Arnold Smith (Robert's Smith father), Eric Rose and Daniel McKay were founders of the Fishermen's Aquaculture. When she left Daniel for Eric, Daniel withdrew his shares in Fishermen and we are told "barricade himself in the compound." This is why Carmen feels that Daniel is the one who defiled Eric's grave.
On Team 3, the investigators and Timmy Ford discover that the freezer that was leaking blood is now open and empty, but there is a trail of blood leaking on the forest. After a brief chase, Ford apprehends Johnson, and the investigators discover that Fred Johnson was burying bagged blood. Illegally obtained, Johnson is still being under arrest for possessing blood, but the discovery is hardly the critical clue that we are hoping for. Johnson meanwhile, claims that he needed the blood because of his diseases from the Vietnam War.
Day 6
The crew goes over the clues they found. The bagged blood is seems to be type 0 and doesn't match to any of the Smith family. Ash relays what little he discovered by interviewing Tina Ryan, and not surprisingly the group elects to keep her a suspect as well. Li tells the story of Carmen Rose and Daniel McKay and at this Andy decides that the McKay lead will definitely need to follow up on. Now the evidence now its time to open the red envelope which was found on the porch this morning. If the investigators answer the question correctly the killer will clear a suspect. The question asks what is the birth date of Eric Rose. Li says that they took a picture of that so they don't have a problem to answer and Neil Sanchez is cleared from the suspect board. Andy warns the group that he will be back a six to open the blue envelope to send some one to the clue or their death.
Then at six the crew starts voting the two who will go out.
"The crew has chosen Yahiko Myojin and Alfred Izuruha," said Andy and Yahiko and Alfred looked shocked. Then Andy gives them the maps.
"I'm heading to the 48 Street Mansion," said Yahiko reading where he's going to go.
"I will be heading to the Wheat Mill," said Alfred then Alfred is the one to enter the booth first to make his last will and testament.
"This means that I will be heading at the Wheat Mill to find the clue of the killer and I have a 50 chance of coming back to this place or a 50 chance to be not alive at 1 o'clock in the morning. If I'm not alive tomorrow then tell a girl named Dorothy back home that I liked her when I first was her and tell my family that I will love them even in death. I had a lot of one in a life time experience and that was good enough for me to make my life complete even at age 11. I hope I see the rest of you tonight or see you in heaven," said Alfred then he left and Yahiko enter the booth.
"Well tonight I have to risk a 50 of my life to play this game to find the killer's clue or his weapon. I had a great 10 years of my life and had the action that I wanted. If I have to die tonight I have friends and a girlfriend named Tsubame and tell them that I love them and I will be with them always. This all I can say for now and see you at the other side," said Yahiko.
Before going out Li gives them some advice to look for a giant X and the clue might be there.
Then it's 10:30PM and Yahiko an Alfred went out of the Headquarters to the location. Alfred gets driven to his location meanwhile Yahiko gets driven to the Mansion. Yahiko walks towards the house going barefoot because of the rules. Alfred goes into what looks like an antique store then went upstairs then machinery comes to life. As they both approach the Yahiko reads slowly of the Fishermen's Aquaculture.
"This is the X Li was talking about," said Alfred in his location then a blue glow running towards Alfred then he turns around then the tries to block his head but it's too late. Alfred is dead.
Back at headquarters as the crew is waiting to see who is coming back. Then they hear the door slam then footsteps on the stairs. Then Yahiko appears in front of their eyes that they cheered for Yahiko's safe return but still sad that Alfred didn't make it.
Yahiko shows a can with 3 fingers inside and they wonder what does a pieces of a boat and fingers connected to.
