You: Write down: Yes. Non-visual. Corroborated by witness (see report).

Kim Kitsuragi: "Good..." The lieutenant falls silent. He places his gloved hand on the corpse's chest, as if in preparation...

Kim Kitsuragi: "Mhm," he nods. "We have a real museum here. Of battles, wars..."

You: (Begin.) "1. Assistant:"

1061
You: "Let's pause this autopsy."
23->1061
24
Shivers: The building is tall, seven stories wind-wrapped in solitude; most of the apartments are unoccupied. This was a suicide. The other an accident -- the small one.
94
Esprit de Corps: ...and so all across Jamrock, Coal City, G.R.I.H. Forty two deceased persons found today -- forty two Stations of Breath.
24->94
25
Kim Kitsuragi: "Which the assistant detective *inexplicably* reported to me as X5415- something. Why was that, assistant detective?"
487
Drama: It was merely a *jest* -- horseplay! The impression of you being *a total psychopath* is wrong.
25->487
26
Kim Kitsuragi: He produces a measuring tape: "Well nourished, athletically built measuring 1.80 metres. Generally consistent with age 42. Preservation is good, ambient temperature below freezing."
He produces a measuring tape: "Well nourished, athletically built measuring 1.80 metres. Generally consistent with age -- about 50. Preservation is good, ambient temperature below freezing."

Physical Instrument: The spine is bent more than the lieutenant compensated for. This buster's actual height is about 1.85. And no, you could not take him *straight on*.

Kim Kitsuragi: "Of course, I under-compensated." He pockets the tape.
488
You: Write it down.

Cuno: "Talkin' shit about Cuno's velocity..."
880
Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant pays no heed. "In addition, there are bitemarks on the face, scalp, and chest. Consistent with predation."
"In addition there are contusion marks on the face, scalp, and chest. Consistent with predation." He remarks to you: "We have those now, for part 3."
28->880
29
Kim Kitsuragi: "The steel wiring..." he concedes -- breathless, "there's too much of it. We *need* to remove the belt so we can get to the ligature mark."
126
The Hanged Man: CheckItem("chaincutters")
29->126
30
Kim Kitsuragi: "Ligature mark..." The lieutenant produces a small folding knife. With the other hand pulling on the belt, he starts cutting into the polyester. The stench is horrid. After a while, it's obvious the material cannot be cut.
30->29
31
Empathy: This is clearly what they've been waiting for. Ever since the autopsy began. The lieutenant is trying to make it as boring as possible.
103
Kim Kitsuragi: "Genitalia is male and unremarkable. No evidence of injury."

Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant looks relieved. "Back is symmetrical and intact. Upper and lower extremities are intact -- but asymmetrical. There are old combat injuries on the right hand, thigh, and hip."
547
Pain Threshold: Bullets have bitten little pieces out of him. It must have been excruciating, especially the hip... Before you is a temple of pain that knew little tenderness in life.
34->547
35
The Hanged Man: I did, Cobo, I did. Reminded me of when I was just a small boy. Before *this* happened to my face and my body. You did me a kindness there.
281
The Hanged Man: We should do this more often. Be close like this, I mean.
35->281
36
Kim Kitsuragi: With his eyes almost closed, the lieutenant puts his hand on the dead man's throat and begins to massage it, gently. A rotting smell erupts from the mouth. Purge fluid runs down his lips -- black and viscous.
388
Perception (Hearing): You hear cracks as the lieutenant moves his sharp fingers inside the flesh. Like the creaking of an old house at night.
36->388

Kim Kitsuragi: "Are you a hepatobiliary expert?" He looks at the corpse's stomach with a mixture of tiredness and disgust.

221
You: "Yes, better to leave it at that. More important."
40->221

Kim Kitsuragi: This appears to be a case investigated about three weeks ago -- a workplace accident. The titular character's wife tried to get *compensation*. The company was not forthcoming. It's hard to make out if the hole was fatal.

Shivers: A small green enclosure in the middle of a corral of tenements: Capeside Apartments, Whirling-in-Rags and the fortress wall of Terminal B. Above it -- a thin blanket of coastal stratus clouds.
893
Shivers: Higher yet, Coalition airships guard over the twenty one cordons of the Zone of Control. The air is criss-crossed with radio transmissions, the hair on your neck rises...

Kim Kitsuragi: "Why do you say that?" He tilts his head.
"Why do you say that?" He tilts his head. "Is it the seagull-murder again, or are you serious?"
"Why do you say that?" He tilts his head. "Is it like that *fatal* stone injury, or are you serious?"
50->122
51
You: "No, this is clearly a fatal injury. Lets mark it as such."
397
Kim Kitsuragi: "No-no officer, I'm afraid I disagree now. We should leave the question open -- at least for the time being. If necessary, I can always amend this later. In my paperwork."
51->397

Kim Kitsuragi: "Then -- given the state of decay here, I consider establishing the victim's ethnicity a minor success."
1047

Kim Kitsuragi: "However, a piece of professional advice. The next time you encounter a list of topics with numbers on them -- start with 1. Then: 2. Then: 3. Lists are numbered for a reason."
