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.

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

God... you're right. We overlooked that. But how can that be?
