Is He...Really the Killer? Pt. 3

"Because of the numbering of the Justice Hammers"!

"It's true that Hifumi was killed with Justice Hammer 3...while Taka's death came from a swing of Justice Hammer 4", Byakuya said

"See? So it's obvious Taka came after"!

"Hold on, there's no reason to assume that the hammers were used in the same order as their hammers!", Makoto said. "If anything, that's just another way the killer tried to disguise their actions".

"So you're saying the culprit wanted us to *think* the hammers were used in order...but in reality Taka was killed *before* Hifumi? Okay then, let's see the proof", Byakuya said

"Taka's wristwatch! See? Look. It broke with the hands pointing just past 6 o'clock".

"It must have gotten broken when he was attacked by the killer. Because as of last night...Taka was irritated that I had shown up late and he pointed at his wristwatch and said it's almost 10 o'clock", you said

"So if it wasn't broken after 6 last night, then he must have been attacked around 6 this morning", Kyoko said

"And that would be his official time of death", Makoto finished

"But if that's true, then he was killed well before Hifumi...", Sakura said

"And before Celeste was attacked this morning, which happened around 7".

"That's right. Taka was killed before any of the other incidents took place", Kyoko said

"That simple fact slipped past all of us", you said. "We made the wrong assumption about the order of the events all because of those Justice Hammers".

"That's exactly why the culprit wrote the numbers on each hammer, and had then increase in size. That way, when we saw how they were used in each incident, we'd easily make that wrong assumption", Byakuya said

"Now, if Taka *was* killed around 6, then everyone's alibis for his murder go out the window", Kyoko said. "Because when he was killed, we hadn't met up in the dining hall yet".

"That may be true in the case of Taka's murder...but all of our alibis still hold true for Hifumi's death", Sakura said

"That's right... With him at least, we're all safe...", Hina said. "When we heard Hifumi screaming, we were all together. Except for Hiro and Kyoko... Then we all ran down to the nurse's office, and that's where we found his body...".

"That's totally true! We're all in the clear!", Genocide Jill said

"Oh, I know! They must've recorded him screaming on a tape or something, then played it later on!", Hiro said

"If that's true, where's the tape?", Hina asked

"I dunno".

"Don't just go makin' stuff up"!

"Anyway, we all have rock-solid alibis for when we heard Hifumi scream. Since all of us were there together, clearly none of us could have killed him".

"And it does not stop there. There was also the moment when we discovered his body had disappeared... When his body vanished from the nurse's office...Hina and I were in the bathroom together, while everyone else was in the equipment room, correct? And then there's the disappearance of Taka's body from the equipment room... At that time, we were all gathered together in the nurse's office because of Hifumi going missing", Celeste said

"Well, don't forget, I was passed out in the equipment room the whole time"!

"Wait, then what if Genocide Jill did it!? She could've dragged Taka's body out of there right then!", Hiro said
