《Holmes: the case of dead man's sleep》feb. 15 20xx : Log 14

Gosbi’s much more excited than usual, he actually smiled today. When we got to Virtue tech the first thing that stood out was the fountain in the middle of the building's courtroom. An aura of death surrounded that fountain. Even the house sparrows struggled to find a place to sit far away. Everything and everyone seemed to know the terror of that spot. Gosbi walked to the fountain and began his search. It took a bit but I eventually found my nerves and stumbled behind him. As he searched he chuckled under his breath. In the end, we found nothing. Not one shred of evidence. It only makes sense the police cleaned everything up.
After Gosbi finished his examination of the fountain we went to meet with Mr. Deets, after all, if we’re poking around he should know we’re here. As we were walking Gosbi stopped by a door with the number 238 painted on it. He stared at the door handle for a long time before waltzing into the room. I followed having not much say in the matter. In the room was a small office filled with brightly colored cubicles. each cubicle seemed to be surprisingly lively compared to how offices are supposed to look. Eventually, Gosbi stopped at a blue cubicle with a desk and computer sitting calmly in the booth. There was also an assortment of other items sitting on the desk: five grey stress balls, a grey pencil holder, six bottles of hand sanitizer, and a red radio. All stashed in a chaotically even fashion. Gosbi took a fine interest in the desk as he tried to force it open. I warned him not to touch anything. His response was to fiddle with the desk not for a second taking his judgment-filled eyes off me.
That's around when the desk's owner showed up, and he wasn’t happy to see us. I apologized for Gosbi doing my best to remedy the situation so we could leave. As you probably guessed Gosbi’s response was less than ideal as he shoved the recording in the poor man’s face attempting to integrate him. The man instantly began panicking, I've never seen someone get so upset so fast. A part of me was worried Gosbi was going to get himself beat up. Thank god, Mr. Deet’s ran into us I don’t know how he managed to defuse the situation so quickly.

As we walked he apologized on behalf of the employee explaining the employee in question, Andy Mandez, has issues with anxiety, and multiple other mental issues he’s not allowed to disclose. He also has serious problems with other people touching his things. The rest of the day went as planned, we discussed the case, with me refusing Mr. Deets’ constant attempts to pay us. According to Mr. Deets Scott was going about his regular routine when he suddenly started screaming. Mr. Deets, along with 12 other employees heard the commotion and ran out to see what was happening. Where they saw Scott forcing himself underwater.
Apparently, some of the employees tried to get him to stop, but Scott grasped onto the fountain with an unbelievable amount of force. Mr. Deets sent Andy to call the police. They didn’t arrive in time though and Scott stopped breathing. After hearing that, it became more than clear why Mr. Deets wasn’t happy with the police deciding it was suicide. Apparently, this wasn’t the first incident either, as there had been many other “suicides” this past year. For example, one night in the spring a woman, who worked on the seventh floor of the building, jumped out and was found in the dumpster below. Another case happened sometime last winter. A higher-up threw away his coat and shirt and went outside. He was found later sitting frozen on a bench outside the building with a monotone expression on his face. There had been so many cases like this the offices started a rumor that the company was built on a waste dump and the radiation was driving employees insane. This was the first incident with clear witnesses and the first to happen in broad daylight.
Gosbi’s eye’s shimmered as Mr. Deets told his stories and further explained the case. I have to admit, I’m starting to agree, it just doesn't make sense. If you really wanted to kill yourself why would you put your co-workers through that, and in such painful ways too? It makes no sense.
Me and Gosbi plan to investigate in more detail tomorrow. For now, Mr. Deets is going to send us off with records of the past cases. Of course, Gosbi plans to study all night. Me? I just want a nap.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
