The Dog's report. Matter: Dead man, 2.



Informal reports.

Reporter – Haradraug Meluihir.

Matter reported: Dead man.  

Report number in sequence: Two.

The body:

Haradraug Meluihir, a no one to no one. Reporting it just for the sake of interest, collecting all the relevant details I gained today. The matter still remains the dead man, but now I am going to express my inner thoughts on what I tried to put in a logic sequence.

First, let us summarize what we have: A dead man. Fresh blood, a woman found him, dusk, nasty neck wound, dagger-like, strangely no trace of suspect, really strange lack of people who know the person. What really strikes me in the head is that no one saw the suspect. The state of blood was fresh and the wound was a dagger.

This woman should know something. I am already suspecting her because there is no one else to suspect. But…I’ve seen her before. Name is Adun, as I recall. A guy tried to chat with her at the shithole tavern, asking her origin. As I remember she refused to the curiosity of the gent, with words like ‘’Curiosity can sometimes be not the safest thing’ or something like that. Really don’t care, just know that she is kinda grim and shady. Like me, ha.

What else I have to say about the woman is that she had a dagger at the moment of talking to the gent. And, well, she had it in her hands throughout the talk, not intending to hide it as I think. Probably flashing her personality to the man so he can shove off? Or maybe just having no the nicest thoughts on her mind.

Another things about the woman which is really, really and incredibly strange is that she didn’t see anyone at the place of crime even though she arrived there before me, got to run and find some other chap, then come back at the time I just arrived. With this gap she could easily find the body just at the time of assassination. But she didn’t see anyone, I guess. I should question her at one point to know exactly if she saw something. And I hope she did.

And I need to ask Aeruthuil. A day earlier he told me that he got stabbed by some crazy woman in the woods. And my suspect is a woman with a crime involving a stab, with a dagger, in the dark.  I should examine Aeruthuil’s wound since I examined the dead man’s to see if the same dagger shape was used. If it was – it will definitely tell me that there is only one stabbing maniac around, and it’s a crazy woman.
