As seen on tv: Forensic Science, 1/31 5th Period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The box of lab coats is next to door of the danger shop and Abby is perched on a lab counter, flipping a DVD in the air. After checking the class over for a few minutes, she hopped off and started pacing.

"We've got a blood free class today and I hopefully that makes some of you happy. Today we're going to do two of the things that I hate doing. But that doesn't mean that you have to hate today's class. Maybe you'll love it. Maybe your new favorite class with be today's class on..." Abby walked over to the overhead projector and turned it on, illuminating a worksheet on toxicology. "...stomach contents!"

Abby launched into an extremely handwaved lecture on how to test stomach contents. "Also, you're going to pouring over security camera tape to find the bad guy. It's like looking for a needle in a black and white really grainy haystack. Not a favorite thing of mine to be doing, but if you're into that sort of thing you'll have a ball."

Opening the door to the crime scene, Abby moved to show the students the layout. Chad lay slumped in a chair at a very fancy table in a wealthy looking room. Chad's shirt had greyish looking vomit drying on it and the leftovers of dinner were still on the plates in front of him. "This is Chad. Poor dead Chad died before he finished his dinner. I wouldn't recommend nabbing anything off the plate though. You need to figure out how Chad died and who did it. You'll do that by using the skills we talked about in class earlier."

"Go get 'em!"

"Okay, the video footage was kind of unreliable because of its low quality. Even by improving the quality, the footage still isn't conclusive because two of the three suspects look like they could have been putting something into the food they served. But if you take into account the sample of stomach contents, the food's broken down, but it's clear from a higher concentration that the potatoes were the source of the poison. But since the poison turned out to be cyanide, there's no way he could've lived long enough to get the tea if he had a high enough dose to kill him outright. This is backed up by the time stamp when the tea was delivered, and the time of death. I think the chef didn't put enough in, and if we do an autopsy we'll probably find other symptoms of cyanide poisoning and find that he died from a side effect of a smaller dosage. So uh, yeah. The chef did it."

Lucas was getting into this class way too much.

Abby kinda loved Lucas. She pointed to the chef who confessed to poisoning Chad in order to gain access to a fortune in spatulas. "Great job, Lucas! You get an A for the day."
