Chapter 5, Part IV

Start from the beginning
                                    

My attention then turned towards her corpse, unmoving on the floor. She was sans scarf, and numerous wounds had ravaged her body, although her face was thankfully intact.

Kaori: Kaiji...?

Kaiji: Yes?

Kaori: Do you have any idea as to how she got those wounds?

Kaiji: My hypothesis... is that this was a gang killing. As in, two or more people attacked her. Whether at once or one after another, we don't know yet.

Kaori: What the-?! You can't be serious...

Kaiji: Judging from how varied these wounds are, that's the only conclusion I can come up with.

Madoka's Body has been added to the Truth Needles.

Of course, I couldn't have not noticed the pocketknife still embedded in her chest.

Kaiji: Looks like Yukiharu's.

Kaori: Daigo had it last time I saw it. He picked it up after his death.

Kaiji: That is correct. You might want to consider the possibility.

Kaori: Indeed.

Daigo's Pocketknife has been added to the Truth Needles.

I took another glance at Madoka's head as well. More specifically, the glass shards surrounding it.

Kaiji: Are you saying that she may have been hit over the head with a glass object?

Kaori: If those shards are correct, then yes.

Kaiji: Well, there was only one glass object in here, wasn't there?

Glass Shards has been added to the Truth Needles.

It was then that I noticed the pair of tranquiliser darts. Both of them had been dislodged and were now on the floor.

Kaiji: Obvious where they came from.

Kaori: True. Why were two fired though if it only mentioned she was shot once though?

Kaiji: Think nothing of it for now.

Tranquiliser Darts has been added to the Truth Needles.

The last thing still laying on the grass unexamined was the needle next to her outstretched hand.

Kaori: It appears to have been used.

Kaiji: You know what they say, drugs kill. Or, you know, any unsafe injection.

Kaori: Guess you're right.

Empty Needle has been added to the Truth Needles.

With everything on the ground having been spotted, I glanced upwards towards the tree of forbidden knowledge. I counted the apples still hanging from its branches; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... wait, 5 apples? There were 7 of us and Madoka helped herself to an apple, so... somebody else must have eaten an apple as well...

Kaiji: You look like you've seen a ghost.

Kaori: (But who could have been the one...?) It's about the apple tree.

Kaiji: Now I see. Somebody ate one of those apples, correct?

Kaori: (nodding) Yes, that is correct.

Apple Tree has been added to the Truth Needles.

Just then, the both of us heard strange rustling noises coming from the tent. Moments later, I heard a human-like whimpering.
