I wanted to post this in the other thread but then it died, so I made a new one. Anyway, it's been a while but I think it's time for another little game.


MYSTERY TIME

Krauss heads up to Kinzo's study to try and convince him to come down and join the family for dinner. He knocks on the door but all he can hear is Kinzo screaming.
"Get away from me! No!!"
Krauss bangs on the door, tries to force it open, but to no avail. Eventually he hears a loud slash and a dropping noise. Krauss calls the servants together. Genji, Kumasawa, Gohda and Nanjo soon arrive. Genji opens the door with his key and they all find Kinzo lying dead on the floor, impaled by a large samurai sword. The sword came from a life-size samurai armour Kinzo had installed as a decorative item recently.
Battler soon arrives and looks around. Kinzo was stabbed with full force in the back it seems, and Nanjo confirms this. Battler also notices several signs of a struggle, with papers and books scattered around, sword and scratch marks all over the table and the bookcase behind it. The door, however, was locked at the time Krauss heard the commotion. The window was open, but in this universe, there could be no way someone could jump/climb down unscathed, and no signs of bruising, dirty marks or anything could be found on any of the suspects.
Battler questions some of the people on the island. Genji had seen Kinzo that morning when he had delivered some letters that had arrived for Kinzo. Kumasawa and Gohda had delivered breakfast just afterwards, and Nanjo played a game of chess which was rudely stopped by Kinzo who said he had some paperwork to do. Other than that, nobody else seemed to have entered Kinzo's study.

So how did the killer get in? How did the killer escape?

I love this, there's even a list of "red truths" on the wikipedia page.

/RED/ Six of the group members died of hypothermia and three of fatal injuries.
/RED/ There were no indications of other people nearby on Kholat Syakhl apart from the nine travelers.
/RED/ The tent had been ripped open from within.
/RED/ The victims had died 6 to 8 hours after their last meal.
/RED/ Traces from the camp showed that all group members left the campsite of their own accord, on foot.
/RED/ To dispel the theory of an attack by the indigenous Mansi people, Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny stated that the fatal injuries of the three bodies could not have been caused by another human being, "because the force of the blows had been too strong and no soft tissue had been damaged".
/RED/ Forensic radiation tests had shown high doses of radioactive contamination on the clothes of a few victims.
/RED/ Released documents contained no information about the condition of the skiers' internal organs.
/RED/ There were no survivors of the incident.

So what happened, /seacats/? Can you solve this mystery? Was it the work of a human, or a Yeti? Come at me with full force!!!

/RED/ The person who killed the people in the gold room did not activate the timer for the bomb machanism.
/RED/ George, Battler, and Kinzo were killed in the explosion when it went off at midnight.

I am prepared to give some quick reds to get the game started. I just wanted to avoid a sea of red that would make players just cross off people until they get the answer. I want to see some theories in the end.
