First.
Most of the week has come and gone in relative peace; it's an uneasy peace, but the fact is that it exists, and sometimes that's the most one can ask for. Friday dawns like the rest of the week before it – the clock chimes the hour at seven, the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock and swing partially ajar of their own volition, and the building is quiet. Perhaps this week has passed relatively painlessly, and no one's decided to find out what your captor means by that last rule of his; perhaps the communal lifestyle has remained undisturbed, whether due to the lack of threat to everyone's well-being from any sort of outside source or just because no one sees a reason to push their luck. Or perhaps somebody decided to be a damn overachiever and take some initiative. Only one way to find out, isn't there? >Explore? |

What are we most interested in? Marks on the body, the general condition of it, the rope itself, something else...?]

I'm assuming dead.]

His head's still not lying right, though, even now that he's been cut down - it looks like his neck has been broken.]
no subject
The rope's going to need to be moved to get a proper look at the neck, so why don't we just look at that. What's its condition?]
no subject
no subject
We were just looking at the neck, but the lack of wounds around the rope gives Susan an idea. Let's take a brief detour and check out the condition of his hands.]

Inspector, he's got some kind of fuzz under his nails. [YOU'RE A COP YOU TAKE THIS FUZZ]
no subject
[Of course he's got a handful of baggies, that's just what the cop with the spotless record needs!
As it is, he stoops down to carefully examine the state of Kaneki's hands before gently pulling the fuzz loose and into one of the bags.]
no subject
[Susan watches the bagging with a raised eyebrow, before turning back to the neck. We're going to need to get this rope off.]

Personal? Well, let's just say this situation is very much reminiscent of something she was doing...geez, less than a week ago now. Her memory of what a hanged corpse looks like is quite fresh.]
no subject
The break on Kaneki's neck does in fact seem consistent with a hangman's fracture - it's a clean C2 break, resulting in internal decapitation.
However, while she's removing the rope there - she'll notice the fact that while the knots are well-tied, the noose is...odd, for a few reasons.
There's something wrong with the knots themselves, as well as what's going on with Kaneki's neck (because apparently there is just not enough wrong with Kaneki's neck today) - which are we taking note of first?]
no subject
no subject
...Okay, that wasn't fun at all, but it was factual!
That said, while whomever did this does have the basic knowledge of how hangings seem to work, the knot is not configured in any sort of way that would have resulted in a C2 break, clean or otherwise.]

I thought they might come in handy figuring out the workings of this place.
[Instead, they're being used to contain murder evidence.]

[She's not sure how useful they'd be for exploration, but they're certainly coming in handy now.]
