Mhm. And we're able to vote for two culprits at once. What I want to know is whether correctly guessing the details of two cases at once could lead to two rewards. If so, collecting data on votes would narrow down the possibilities.
[And that message...] I don't know. It seems odd that someone would leave the word "binch" and not something more meaningful than that, so... maybe there is something more there.
Hm. What troubles me is...if this was indeed left by Mr. Rex's daemon, especially when dying, would you not go for the trouble of writing something specific to implicate your murderer, instead of just writing an insult?
When Revali left us a message before, he seemed to doubt that he could name his killer directly. So I am inclined to think it must be a roundabout way of saying something.
And it was located in the storage room, with the Dust, yes? Just on the floor before the door?
[Hmmm.]
Also, did you confirm whether, if the owner suffers a poison, or something happens to them, does the same occur to the daemon? I recall you asked of it, during trial. If Mr. Rex was knocked out, surely the daemon would've been the same?
And yes, that seems to be confirmed. It goes both ways, even. That which happens to the human also happens to the daemon, and vice versa. To point to a very recent example, when we discovered Miss Susato unconscious, her daemon was unconscious with her.
He didn't use his blasted daemon to do it! Lieutenant! Mr. Rex was in the storage room with Miss Susato! He carved that message himself with the sword! So...so that means...someone came in to remove him after he passed out!
I think the order of events are starting to become a little clearer. Miss Susato recalls seeing Mr. Rex. We know there was a grand fight in the markets. Blood was found there, and a body was dragged from there, likely Mr. Rex's. He was brought to the storage room, and...well, this part is still unclear. Miss Susato was found in the back, yes? One would assume she was brought first and placed there, and then the young man was brought there, unconscious. The tobacco was lit, the door was closed, and Mr. Rex came to. Weak, he likely used his sword to cut a message into the floor before he succumbed to the fumes, likely passing away from carbon monoxide poisoning. That is why dust was found around the message.
Then...someone came in to drag his body out into the lobby of the bar, tipping over the other hookah near his body. Whether that footprint is valid evidence is still in question. So, did Miss Susato, awakening in the meantime, throw the can through the window to save her own life? One would question how she didn't succumb to the poisoning herself, however.
[Hmmmm.]
I would have to ask her for more details regarding what she remembers. But you did find her with the ropes already cut, yes? Perhaps she used a power from the coins...
If they were in the room together, how did Susato survive, while Rex died? Especially if she was there first.
And there's still the question of that window... It looked like someone covered it with a blanket after the can was thrown through it.
As for the ropes, she claimed she cut them with a knife from her waistband. And a knife was indeed found with her, with no noteworthy damage or residue on it.

So... yes. It does seem odd.

[....!]
Wait one second. Lieutenant. Wasn't Mr. Rex found with his sword? But he was outside of the storage room where Ms. Susato was found, wasn't he?

[...?]
There was wood dust on the sword... with a bit of wood grain curled at the tip.
