Doesn't matter where it was stained.
All that mattered is that only and only Minami can be suspected because of that two items.
You can't get another conclusion out of this

this post is so much better when you realize Kogorou was entirely wrong

[eworm]

Finally finished! Damn, it isn't so easy to think up such a riddle. It's like a DC case - difficult and complicated.
Here goes - the Ultimate Deduction Showdown!


We have a killed professor again. It is Monday morning again. The professor stayed at the university till late at night together with his three assistants. They were helping him with some very important project, though they were in separate rooms most of the time, only occasionally going to the professor's room to ask some questions or something. There was also a night-watchman present in the university building at the time.

Here's what the police learnt about the victim and the suspects. Note that while some of these info might be important, some might not be important in the slightest and be here just to confuse you - for we all love red herrings:

The victim:
0. Professor Kentaro Akihisa (male) - he was ambidextrous and great with English.

Suspects - assistants:

1. Kentaro Akito (male) - he happens to be the professor's son.
2. Mariya Yuki (female) - she doesn't ever use handwriting tools, but her portable computer.
3. Tsukamoto Keiko (female) - she just recently started to work as the professor's assistant.

Suspect - night-watchman:

4. Shimada Eiji (male) - rumours say he has criminal past.


The professor was killed with a knife - stabbed in the back and the torso multiple times. He was sitting at the desk when the culprit attacked him from behind. He collapsed on the floor, holding his pen very tightly in his right hand, and the rest of his spare ones - five of them - in the left. The desk was covered in his blood except for the notepad. Inspector Megure realises right away that the first page must've been taken by someone - professor probably wrote something on it. Part of the text can be seen on the next page - just one syllable - "Ke".

One of the suspected disappeared the Monday morning - Kentaro Akito. After questioning the rest of the assistants, police discovers the order in which they left that night, as they were informing the rest when they were going home. First left Tsukamoto Keiko, second Mariya Yuki and then Kentaro Akito.
The night-watchman stayed and wandered in the building, patrolling. After 1AM he went to make the professor leave finally. Then he found him dead - or so he says.

It seems obvious that it was the victim's son who killed the professor - he's nowhere to be found, his fingerprints were on the knife and there's the "Ke" syllable. But then detective Takagi shocks inspector Megure, saying the culprit is someone else. And he's right! Do you know who it was? What happened that night? And why is Kentaro Akito missing?

Answer correctly and Takagi will earn a reward kiss from Satou-san!  ;D


Is it okay if I don't say anything else and don't tell you what about your answers is wrong and what's right? Maybe just by PM. I'd like every one of you to think about it separately and discover the best detective here.

I was just kidding
OF course I knew I that everything I texted you was wrong.
I had the answer all they, of course I had it

That was to confuse you all *kogorou laughter*

Spoiler:

The dying message is Keyboard.. so it Mariya Yuki

[eworm]

Spoiler: xpon

It is not as simple as that. And how could you assume it was "keyboard"?

It is not only the true culprit you must find - it is also the whole detective Takagi's deduction, too! Remember that after you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. And shinjitsu wa itsumo hitotsu!

[xpon]

Spoiler:

Ke from the note is the beginning of keyboard in english...

but i do believe that when the professor is dying.. he should write using his left hand

[eworm]

Spoiler: xpon

PM

It isn't a riddle about guessing. You have to realise the way to be 100% sure "it was that person!" or else your answer isn't valid. Remember it's a case of murder! Be careful not to accuse an innocent person of being a murderer!
