《The Software Detective》2.8 Where you went wrong
Advertisement
"Wait you believe me!?" Artyom said. There was such hope in his eyes, a smile appeared across his face as he sat there in handcuffs on the train station bench.
"Not entirely, you may be an accomplice." raising the gloves I continued, "But I do believe that you are being framed. It would seem that Boipelo was planning to frame you with these gloves he made, they have your fingerprints on them. He designed them to match his skin tone."
Artyom's face soured "That bastard! Ever since we first met, I always knew he was not to be trusted."
"Well, Artyom I should inform you about the recorded video I have. It shows you talking with Boipelo to overthrow Bruno and start your own channel using the drama of betraying them." I said dropping the gloves into an evidence bag. "I just wanted to give you heads up about your right to remain silent, you should probably use it before you go down with him."
"Wow this is a different side of Tom I haven't seen before. Little bit snippy." Kalina said, motioning towards one of the toxicology agents. "Come on Tom, let me show you the clues you missed."
Standing in the bathroom with Kalina she put on a pair of gloves and then motioned towards the toilet. "You should have tested the urine. But also, you missed something when you examined his body." She crouched down and pointed to Bruno's ankles. "You see how swollen his ankles and legs are. Years of experience has taught me that he experienced kidney failure, which could have been the result of poisoning."
One of the toxicologists came up with a little machine. "Your right Detective Rose, he was poisoned. Specifically, he experienced strychnine poisoning."

"Wow, you got those results really quick is that some new tech from the crime scene unit" I said pointing to the little machine. Kalina walked over to join me at the entrance as the forensic pathologist walked in to look at the body.
"Yeah, it's a new tool we received that lets us test samples rapidly in the field." He held up the little machine with a smile "Before would have had to use gas chromatography nitrogen phosphorus detection and Fas chromatography mass spectrometry techniques to discover how a person was poisoned. But now we just use this little machine, enter some urine or blood and we can find out how a person was poisoned instantly. Isn't modern science amazing!" the agent said.
"Yup, it sure is." The forensic pathologist crouched near the body "This is just my early assessment but from the looks of it he experiences kidney failure and given he died of strychnine poisoning he most likely died of brain death as well. However, it does look like the murderer used the strangling as a cover up."
The pathologist stood up and turned to me "Do you remember him consuming anything before coming to the bathroom."
"Yeah, he drank from a water bottle Boipelo gave him. It should be still there." I said guided them to where Bruno was sitting.
The bottle was still standing tall on the little table. I grabbed the bottle and handed it to the toxicologist. He poured a sample on the top of the machine. "Results are in, there is a micro dose of strychnine poisoning."
"It's a shame if he had gone to a doctor, they would have found it and attempted to save his life." the medical examiner said leaning against the chairs behind him.

"From all these details, it looks like he was setting up Artyom as the fall guy for Bruno's murder." Kalina said sitting in the chair across from the water bottle. "If you hadn't caught him, then we would have been sending an innocent man to jail. Not only that we were able to get a description for what the Killer Moderator looks like and we can potentially get more information from his coworker. Even though you didn't catch him your efforts have brought us so much closer to putting an end to his carnage.

He gives him another chance at life in another world and lets him pick a power of his choosing to take into the world. Story is going to be heavy reader interactive. Expect short frequent chapters. One chapter every few days. Two per week minimum. If I feel like it, more than that.Your choices WILL influence the story. It determines whether you get a game over (may discover new information), go around in circles never advancing the story, or advancing the story. Consequences of certain actions will shift Durrendal toward evil or good. The default personality of Durrendal may be ""pervy"" but depending on the actions that he takes it can be reversed. Think of the character as a game character. You are playing a game. It does not require that you make an account to vote. So screw around or advance the story? It's up to you.
