When Giorno arrived in the Rec Room, one of the first things he noticed that window of the door was broken and there was a chair on the floor.
Inside of the room were Tanya and L, looking and the crime scene.
The others were ordered to stay in the Dining Hall.
"Oh, there you are, Giorno." said L.
"So, Lelouch's the fourth victim, huh?" Giorno said.
"Correct, now, look at the Monokuma File." said Tanya.
Giorno obeyed.
The Monokuma File stated:
"The Victim is Lelouch Lamperouge, previously known as his Imperial Highness Lelouch vi Britannia. The time of death is around 18:00/6 PM. The corpse was discovered in the Recreation room on the 3rd floor of the school. It appears to be smacked on head with an object. There are no other obvious external wounds. Additionaly, the victim had vomited a good amount of blood."
"Wait, Lelouch vi Britannia? Wasn't he the Britannian prince that got killed in an Terrorist attack?" Giorno asked.
"I presume that was a lie made by the Britannian Government. And according to that, I think that even his sister, Nunnally vi Britannia, is still alive." said L.
"Look, there's some sort of yellow dust on Lelouch's shoe!" Tanya said.
"It looks like a chemical." said GioGio.
"Hmmm...This is going to be a tough case. This is a Locked-room mystery." said the Detective.
"What's that?" the blond young man asked.
"It's a crime that was set in a way that it looks like that it's impossible that the victim has been murdered." said Tanya.
"So that's why you had to break the window." Giorno said.
The young man with a dream continued investigating and saw on floor a container on the pieces of shattered glass.
"Weird. Some pieces of glass are under the container." He thought.
"Look, there shards of a broken bottle behind the corpse." said L.
"There are also some traces blood near them." Tanya said.
"Maybe that was the murder weapon?" GioGio theorized.
"Perhaps."
Tanya looked on the magazines on the shelf and noticed that there was name written with blood inside of it.
" "Touko"..." L said.
"Do you think Touko killed him?" Tanya asked.
"No, I don't think so, both Touko and Genocide Jack follow my orders." the blond young man said.
"Also, during the temperature rising, Giorno was with me in my room." The Major explained.
"Anyway, Giorno, can I ask you something?" the pale Englishman asked.
"Sure."
"Go to the Chemistry Lab and check some hints there."
Giorno obeyed and found out in the Chemistry Lab that there was some sort of powder with some long footprints on it.
"There's a broken container on the floor with the same powder Lelouch had on his shoe." then Goirno looked to the three lockers. "There are three cabinets labeled A,B and C. If I remember correctly, Touko said that in one of those there were some poisons. So, if Lelouch was poisoned, the culprit went here."
GioGio, without stepping on the yellow powder, noticed that the inside of the Cabinet A contains nutrients, Cabinet B has reagents and Cabient C has poisons.
Also, he noticed two weird things. First, there was a poison bottle in Cabinet A and second, the yellow powder came from C-labeled broken bottle.
Also, he found another bizarre element.
A glove with some blood on the finger.
Then, Monokuma appeared on the monitors.
"Ahem, I'm getting tired of waiting here...Let's get things started, shall we? It's the event you've all been waiting for...the Class Trial! Remember where to meet, right? Go through the red door on the 1st floor of the school! See you soooon!"
"Already? I better tell L what I found here." he thought.
Giorno left the lab and entered in the anteroom of the courtroom.
There, he told L and Tanya what he found in the lab and Touko told him something interesting.
Everyone entered in the elevator.
A few minutes later, they arrived in the courtroom. Now, there were nine portraits of the deceased students (Yoshikage, Kaguya, Aoi, Junko, Jolyne, Izuku, Loid, Lelouch and Ren).
The Students disposed themselves in a circle.
Thus, the curtains rised on the 4th Class Trial.
"Let's begin with a basic explanation of the class trial. So, your votes will determine the results." Monokuma explained. "If you can figure out 'whodunnit', then only they will receive punishment. But, if you pick the wrong one...Then I'll punish everyone besides the blackened! And the one that deceived everyone else will graduate!"
"This case might be little tricky this time, since the circumstances of Lelouch's death are very vague." said L. "I have some theories about the cause of death so, let's start talking about that and the murder weapon."
"According to the Monokuma File, it seems that he was killed with something smacked on his head." said Valentine.
"By looking at the time, looks like Lelouch died when the temperature was at least 50°C/122°F high." said Tanya.
"Me and Tanya were in the same room at the time, and I haven't met Lelouch since Monokuma summoned us in the Gym." said Giorno.
"Also, I have found something interesting near the incenerator." said Tanya.
"Really? When?" the Italian young man asked.
"While you were still unconscious, after I heard the Body Discovery Annoucement, I met with L and started investigating togheter. Near the Incenerator I found this." Tanya pulled three letters out of her pocket.
The letters were adressed to Touko, Valentine and Chihiro.
"So, what do these three have to say in their defense?" the Major asked.
"I-I didn't went to the Rec room today! Josuke made me desist from going." said Chihiro, panicked.
"Yeah! He-I mean, she was with me the whole time!" Josuke supported Chihiro's claim.
"I also didn't met Lelouch in the Rec Room." said Valentine.
Touko objected.
"Y-Y-You're lying! Y-You actually went there and k-killed Lelouch!" she said.
Everyone was shocked.
"What?! What are you talking about?" Valentine said. "With what evidence you're accusing me?"
"I-I was there!" said Touko.
"I can confirm, there were handprints on the locker at the Rec room." said L.
"I-I decided to meet Lelouch, even if the h-heat and the f-fear discouraged me, so I h-hid in the locker. It was v-very hot in there, but I-I had to resist. There, I saw V-Valentine smacking Lelouch's head with a b-bottle!" the 21st Century Schizoid Girl said.
"And then?" Giorno asked.
"I-I don't remember, I-I fainted after I saw Lelouch's blood. Try to ask her...ACHOO!"
Touko fainted and Genocide Jill took over.
"Hello there! Did you missed me?" the Serial Killer.
Giorno found Genocide Jill smiling kind of cute and then he immediately questioned his sanity.
"So, did you killed Lelouch Lamperouge?" asked L.
"First of all, Miss Morose and I don't share the same memories, only the emotions. When I took over the body, I thought I was gonna see Master GioGio...Yes, I found a Prince, but DEAD! Kyahahahaha!" said Genocide Jill. "Then, I noticed that someone wrote Miss Morose's name on a magazine so, in order to protect us, i hid it in a shelf."
Josuke interrupted.
"Wait, how can we be sure that she's saying the truth? Maybe she's actually the killer and tried to frame Valentine!" he theorised.
Giorno objected.
"No, I don't think so. Genocide Jill obeys only to my commands. And since I asked her to not kill anyone during the Killing Game, she isn't Lelouch's murderer." he said.
"Kyaaah! Master GioGio is defending me! I'm so embarassed!" Genocide Jill fangirled.
Giorno went silent.
"...Anyway, I agree with Giorno, I don't think Touko or Genocide Jill killed Lelouch. In fact, I don't even think that the bottle was the murder weapon." said L.
Everyone was shocked from the theory.
"R-Really? Then, what killed Lelouch?" Chihiro asked.
"By looking at the blood he vomited, I think Lelouch was poisoned." said the Detective.
"P-Poisoned?!" Josuke said, shocked.
"Correct. That are the symptoms of poisoning. It was probably took from the Chemistry Lab." said L.
"If so, then who poisoned him? We don't have a clue about that." said Josuke.
Giorno objected.
"No, We have proof. When I went to the Chemistry Lab to investigate, I found this." he pulled out a purple glove with some blood on the finger.
Everyone was shocked.
"That's..." Josuke said.
"That's Valentine's glove!" Tanya continued.
"Gh!" Valentine was shocked.
"Also, in the lab there were long footprints on the floor, which are very similar to Valentine's shoes. So, I agree with Touko, the murderer of Lelouch Lamperouge...is Funny Valentine!" GioGio said.
"...That's right. I am the murderer." Valentine gave up. "I am ashamed about what I have done. A leader should kill a person for a futile motive like this. I deserve the execution." he said. "Monokuma, you may start the voting-"
L interrupted.
"Wait a second, Giorno. Before we reach that conclusion, we have to look on the third possible hypotesis." he said.
"Third...hypotesis?" Giorno asked, curious.
"What are you talking about? I am the killer! I killed Lelouch!" Valentine said.
"First we talk about the most obvious theory that we'll now refer as Hypotesis A: Murder. Now, I want to talk about Hypotesis B: Suicide."
"What?!" Everyone said.
"Hold up, Panda! Are you sayin' that he killed himself?!" Genocider Sho asked.
"Indeed. Giorno, during these Class Trials you usually do a summary of the cases, do you mind if this time I'm doing it?" L asked.
"Huh? Sure." Giorno said.
"Lelouch, for an unknown motive, decided to commit suicide for this case. But instead of simply doing it, he decided to create a plan. First, he went to the Chemistry Lab and took the poison of there. During the process, he poured accidentaly some sort of powder, probably from the other two Cabins, and managed to barely got his shoe dirty. After the took the poison from the Lab, he met Valentine and probably used his power, the "Geass", on him. With that, he ordered him to write those letters to Chihiro, Touko and him as Lelouch's ghostwriter. Probably, one of those orders was to hit Lelouch with a bottle after the poison took effect and was already dead, so he could believe that he was murdered and fool Touko. Thus, the culprit of this case is none of us, since he is no longer among the living. In fact, the murderer was none other than the victim himself, Lelouch Vi Britannia, the Ultimate Strategist." L said.
"So...Lelouch used the Geass on me?" Valentine said.
"It seems so." said Tanya.
"I-I think we can start the vote, then." Chihiro said.
Everyone voted Lelouch as the blackned.
"Cooorect! The one who killed Lelouch...was Lelouch himself!" said Monokuma. "Ugh...I can't punish anyone this time!"
"Really?!" Josuke said.
"Yup! Also, Lelouch gave you a message for you!" said the bear-
"A message?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah! I'm gonna read it for you now!"
Monokuma started to read the letter.
It says:
"If you're reading this letter, then I presume that you resolved my murder case. I knew that you could make it, thanks to L and Giorno. Just for explaining, what I did wasn't a total betrayal, I wanted to collaborate with the Mastermind so I could have some info about this Killing Game and if my little sister was fine. I sacrified my own life so that you could expose the identity of our kidnapper. I couldn't get a lot of informations but I got an important clue. Whatever happens, Giorno Giovanna must survive. He's not the Mastermind, but I think he's related to him, since I heard refer to him as "Lil' bro". This is all the information I got and as my final wish, I would like you to take care of my sister, Nunnally Vi Britannia, and don't tell her what happened to me, she doesn't deserve to hear the ugly truth, she already suffered very much.
Now, goodbye and good luck to those that will get out of this accursed school alive.
Lelouch Vi Britannia."
"...Wait, what?!" Giorno said.
"The Mastermind...is related to Giorno?" Tanya asked.
"Giorno, do you have any older brothers?" L asked.
"I have one, but he's just a normal jockey! He's may be a little misanthropic, but not enough to host a Killing Game!" said Giorno.
"You mean your half-brother, Diego?" said Josuke. Giorno nodded.
"Oh, look! There's more about the letter!" Monokuma continued.
"There's also one thing I've learned, the Mastermind did something to us. I think it's-"
"Whoops! I'm gonna skip that, that would be a spoiler! Wait, there's something for me!"
"P.S. To the Mastermind, if you think I just died without doing anything, you're utterly wrong. In fact, I gave to the spotless an rather interesting clue that will make you fall. Eventually, you will keep me company here in hell."
"What?! A clue?! Oh well, it's probably some useless thing because this stubborn loser won't give up even if he's dead. Now, I have to go, byeee!" Monokuma left
Everyone went to sleep.
During the night, Giorno was waked up by a familiar face. It was L.
"Wake up." he said.
"Ugh...L?" Giorno said.
"Meet me near the Data Center Room, on the 4th floor." L said and left.
Giorno obeyed and arrived at the locked Data Center's door, without seeing L at the sight.
Instead, he met Monokuma.
"Well Well Well, what do we have here." the bear said.
"What are you doing here?!" Giorno asked, surprised.
"That's my line! GO TO SLEEP, DAMNIT!" Monokuma said, angered.
"What's with this ruckus?" L appeared.
"L!" Giorno said.
"You too?! GO TO SLEEP, BOTH OF YOU!" Monokuma ordered.
"Alright, then. Giorno, let's go." L said.
The two arrived at the dorm Giorno asked something to L:
"L, where have you been?"
L approached Giorno and whispered:
"Beware of Mukuro Ikusaba, the 17th Student, lying hidden somewhere in this school...She's refered as the Ultimate Despair."
Then, he left.
Meanwhile, in Chihiro's dorm, he was remembering about what happened days ago.
During that time, he was approached by Lelouch and was asked to this:
"Chihiro, I want you to use Monika and hack the school system to stop the execution machines. If Giorno is the executed, active this King piece-shaped detonator, and that will stop the machine. He must survive."
He hid the detonator in his clothes, hoping that it wouldn't been seen.
