"In that case, I'll question Yuuno-chan to see if she knows anything else," Toshiko said with a nod, watching Ryuuko walk away. Soon enough, she turned to face the young girl. Right, it was time to get to work and see if she knew anything else that might be helpful.

Meanwhile, for Ryuuko, the trail of blood was not a long one... but it ended at a point that was easily overlooked, yet obvious if you really looked for it. It's likely they would have caught it on the trip back regardless. It was a strip of fabric, looking like it had been part of a sock, perhaps, judging by the texture and appearance. So the suspect(or one of the suspects) had taken off their shoes before making there way inside? And... somehow taken an injury to their foot... though it only took a moment to see what had caused it. A nail sat nearby, long enough to easily(and painfully) penetrate someone's foot, though not enough to go entirely through it. But why was there a nail sitting on the ground, exactly?

There were a few maids a few meters away. Oddly enough, [url=https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2031478]one of them was fiddling with a nail as she spoke to the others[/url].
