Forensic Science - March 28th 5th period

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The classroom was dark when the students entered and Abby was standing by the rack of laptops she had handed out last week.

"We're going to be using these today to solve our crime." Abby said, loading a program on one and explaining how to do handwriting analysis. "Also, you're going to be looking for matching injuries in crime databases. When you're not sure what happened at a scene or you want to check and see if this fits the profile of different crimes, you can enter the information and look for a match."

"Today's crime scene is very cool. It's our first hanging!" Pulling the door open to the crime scene, Abby grinned excitedly and ushered the students into the room where Bel lay on the ground. "Police found our dead guy this morning swinging from the rafters. They cut him down but they aren't sure if he's a suicide or the victim of a homicide. It's up to you guys to decide what happened."

Zero nodded and noted this down on a clipboard balanced on her knee. "What time'd you bite it?"

"10:59 PM," Bel said dutifully.

"Oh!" Zero remembered. She held up her camera. "Mind if I photograph your injuries?"

For some reason, Zero + camera made Bel twitch a little. But he said, "Okay, just get my best side."

At least this one didn't take video. "Right, your injured side is best," Zero said as she snapped photos. "Was there a note?"

"Over there," Bel said, pointing to a piece of paper that said "Goodbye cruel world" in rather girly handwriting.

"Yes. Yes, that's very convincing," Zero said dryly. She picked the note up with tweezers and dropped it in a plastic baggy. "Thanks, Bel."

"No problem," Bel said. "Avenge me." He stretched a little and resumed dead-by-hanging pose.
