[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Holmes I believe we can rule out Juliet as a suspect in this case.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Professor M I expect it is a natural consequence of the investigation. [k] @Professor M The two families may have finalized their alliance by betrothing their children, but having the killer's identity remain a mystery is sure to create tensions. [k] @Professor M More importantly, the killer will not want to live in constant fear of discovery, so a scapegoat would solve both of those issues nicely. As an outsider, [%1] is the obvious choice. [k] @Professor M In which case, the killer may mean to kill[sr][%1] and frame [&him:her] for their own crimes.

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Holmes I'm inclined to agree with the[sr]professor in this instance. [k] @Holmes If there's any consolation to be had, it's that our culprit won't be attempting anything sufficiently violent that it might easily be seen as foul play. [k] @Holmes They would need to falsify a note and make [&his:her][sr]murder appear to be a suicide, or the whole endeavor would be quite pointless. [k] [charaFace E 6] @Holmes For example, they could strangle [&him:her] to death and[sr]then cover it up by making it seem as though [&he:she] hanged [&himself:herself]...but an autopsy would spoil that bit of trickery. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Holmes Then again, if the culprit were the one performing the autopsy, then such a cover-up would be quite easy. Don't you agree, Professor?
