My Final Deduction

All right folks we’re a few hours away from the big reveal, we still don’t have our map (but the OP said it wasn’t gonna help us so lmao I’m not waiting for it anymore haha) but! We do have 2 new people off the list and we have Jihoon’s timeline!

Before that though, I’d like to point out that I’m still sticking with the 3-4 hours effect of the poison even if the coroner said it was possible to have a shortened time effect for the drug because of his stature! The coroner had vague replies regarding this, so I will choose to stick with the 3-4 hours effect of the poison. Jihoon ain’t that tiny I mean he’s taller than me stop teasing him with his height hahahaha

Also! The coroner said the killer knew the exact amount to give for the drug to have its effect later on. Which means that the killer specifically chose that amount so he can have an alibi during the time of death!

NOW THE TIMELINE:

JIHOON WAS INSIDE THE MUSIC ROOM ALL ALONG!

Asdfghjkl I don’t know how I missed that internship with Boo part urgh hahaha now I kinda feel stupid lmao but anyway!

If Seungkwan was still available, if we look at the timeline, the most logical thing to ask was: Did Jihoon eat anything while they were having internship lessons? If so, what? Did he see anyone hand him any food that he ate within the time he was with Jihoon?

Y’all know what I think Boo was still available someone would’ve asked this and we would have our killer!! Maybe it was why he was the first to be removed off the suspect list. I mean, if I were to look at this, I wouldn’t even remove Boo from the list immediately. Why? Because he discovered the body. The ones who discover the body are usually the suspect unless proven. But he was eliminated first! Like damn boy I wanted to have asked more questions but I got into the game too late so meh.

Now we only have Mingyu, Wonwoo, S. Coups, Hansol, Jun and Josh as our remaining suspects!

Imma start with Mingyu. Mingyu claims the only time of the day he had contact with Jihoon was around 1 PM, when he needed help writing rap lyrics. By this time, the poison had already been in Jihoon’s system. I’d want to safely eliminate him from my list.

The last 5 people are the ones I’m most suspicious of.

For me, this case involved 1 killer.

He could have an accomplice who could’ve helped him with his plan, but I still think there’s 1 killer.

THERE’S ONLY ONE ANSWER! High-five if you get the reference *wink wink* or am I the only one OTL

Chan claims to have seen Joshua in a t shirt, jeans, and backpack on his way to the restroom at around 1:30 PM. Chan was pretty sure it was Joshua because he saw his face.

Wonwoo also insisted that Joshua was wearing a t-shirt while they were having lunch.

But Joshua insists he was wearing a button-down shirt.

This doesn’t make sense, so one of them has to be lying.

But one of the things unanswered was: was he only wearing a t-shirt? Or a button-down shirt too? What if he was wearing both but somewhere along the way he had removed his button-down shirt? Or what if he was originally wearing a button-down shirt but something happened and he had to change into a t-shirt?

SO I’M GONNA GO REAL WILD NOW WITH MY THEORY HAHA

Joshua came in with a button-down shirt early that day. But somewhere along the way, something happened (water spilled, he had tripped, etc.) that forced him to change clothes. But! He didn’t have any extra. So SOMEONE lent him a shirt, but the shirt had some sort of poison on it that when absorbed through the skin, would make him have a headache and give him temporary amnesia. This would explain why Wonwoo and Chan said they saw Joshua in a shirt but Joshua insisted he was wearing a button-down shirt.

Why did this happen? This had to happen at around the time Jihoon died because the killer needed a scapegoat. Remember how the coroner said the poison used to kill Jihoon was handled by someone who knew how to use it? Then maybe it was the same line as that: the killer knew what and how much poison he had to apply on the shirt he lent Joshua so that he would have a headache and have temporary amnesia around the time of Jihoon’s death. After all, the person with no alibi around the time of death is the most suspicious and would highly be considered as the suspect.

Around 10-11:30 AM, the killer met with Jihoon and gave him some poisoned food. It could be spaghetti or tteokbokki, we don’t know. Since Boo is out of the suspect list, we can’t ask him if anyone came in during his internship with Jihoon to confirm this. So I’m going to go with this theory even without supportive evidence lol. It had to be someone Jihoon had some form of trust with to accept the food and to eat it, and someone that Boo knew to not make him raise an eyebrow or question him (but we wouldn’t know since there were no questions asked about his relationship with other people lol).

After ingesting the poison, Jihoon went about the day normally. S. Coups mentioned that he was in and out of the music room probably from stomach cramps caused by the ingestion of the food.

Finally, the poison takes effect and he dies, struggling to leave. Did he leave a dying message? Probably not, because he wasn’t even aware how he was killed.

So who killed Jihoon?

Out of the remaining suspects, I can eliminate S. Coups and Hansol. Why? Because Jeonghan and DK confirmed that they passed by Hansol’s house at around 1:15 PM, meaning they were telling the truth. Hansol was at home.

So does someone’s testimony not make sense?

Yep, that’s right! It’s Jun’s! 4 people confirming what they saw is something you could barely call a lie, especially if they are people who were interviewed at different times (4:20, 6, 7, 7:20). Why did Jun have to lie about Hansol being there around the time of death, specifically him walking down the hallway towards the music room? Because he intended for Hansol to be the scapegoat, especially if he was sick and not in school with absolutely no one to prove his alibi at home! Not to mention, he didn’t even answer clearly what his relationship to Jihoon was.

After all, Jun was old enough to own and drive a car, which probably means he’s filthy rich. He could have connections to get the drugs he needed. Jihoon probably confronted him at some point about it and that’s what did him in.

Joshua is the red herring in this case, if you ask me. Maybe the OP really opted to have his whereabouts unknown during the time of death to make us suspicious of him.

OR we can take this one step further! Maybe Wonwoo, who was close to Jun, knew of his plan to dispose of Jihoon and probably set up Joshua to take the fall! He could’ve lent him a shirt that had poison in it that was absorbed through his body and made him get a headache and temporary anesthesia. OR! He could’ve maybe wanted to talk to Jihoon about something but he had the unfortunate timing of watching Jihoon die before his very eyes (poor bb L ) and the traumatic experience made him forget about what happened during that time. He could’ve absent-mindedly changed his clothes after they were bloodstained.

Whatever Joshua’s role was, I stand by my belief that Jun is the killer, and Wonwoo was probably an accomplice (if we go by my Joshua’s shirt being poisoned theory lol).

WELL IT WAS FUN PLAYING THE GAME! By the time I’m able to go online tomorrow it would’ve ended anyway and we would know what really happened haha so I’m gonna cross my fingers and hope I *FINALLY* got some deduction right XD NOW TO WAIT AGONIZINGLY FOR THE BIG REVEAL

Who Killed Jihoon?

A Long Analysis No One Asked For

So! This murder mystery case has been making waves on twitter. With whatever medical knowledge I have, let me share to you my 50 cents take on this case (and I am taking this as seriously as I can; I used up 3 pages of my think book, 4 pages of MS Word, and 4 hours of my time for this asdfghjkl):

What do we know?

Lee Jihoon died via hydrogen cyanide poisoning, with his estimated time of death between 2-2:30. There was noted blood on the piano stool and the glass door, with leftover spaghetti by the piano. There were noted bruises on his right hip caused by a supposed fall. Blood found on the scene was Jihoon’s which looked like vomitus as it was mixed with bile. Last known food intake were tteokbeokki, spaghetti, and rice crackers. There were episodes of stomach cramps prior to death. No puncture wounds on body. Coroner reported that the killer must have some knowledge on the poison used because of the intricate amount needed, the route of delivery of the poison, and the means by which he got it. The poison takes effect in 3-4 hours, so the time of ingestion should’ve been around 10:30-11:30.

All murders answer to the 6 questions: WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHO, WHY, and HOW. But before I give you a rundown of my take on this, let me first give you a very basic background on hydrogen cyanide.

Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, poisonous liquid usually used in mining. It is extremely poisonous as even a small amount of it is enough to kill a person. How does it do it? It stops cellular activity by stopping the production of energy needed by the body, in a simplified sense. The lethal dose of it is around 50 mg (Medscape), which is approximately about as much as big as a 50-centavo coin if you spread it out (you can think of various 50 mg medicine tablets too). At this amount, it can work in less than a minute. Even when ingested, it is easily picked up the body and travels quickly through the blood vessels to take effect. When this happens, it becomes nearly impossible to reverse it. Unless you’re able to take the patient in less than 5 minutes to the hospital, it is close to impossible to reverse the effects. This is the reason why it is a very popular means of elimination: not only is a small amount needed for it to be effective, but also the fact that it is nearly impossible to detect in the body given the small amount that can be used to kill a person. One of the few ways of detecting hydrogen cyanide poisoning if there is any exposure to it (mining work, prolonged exposure to car exhaust, eating lots of fruit seeds, prolonged pesticide exposure) or if there is the distinct almond smell.

While it is possible for hydrogen cyanide poisoning to take effects hours after it has been ingested if there has been a small amount, it would mean that the ingested amount would’ve been smaller than 50 mg, so imagine it having to take effect 3-4 hours after ingestion: it would probably mean maybe even a dot of it had to be ingested for it to take effect, and by then the body would’ve eliminated it from the body or by then it would’ve been impossible for it be detected via autopsy. We may also look at this from the point of view of the poison being put inside an extended-release capsule where the film would’ve only started melting approximately 12 hours after it had been ingested, but that wouldn’t fall in the timeline given. Also, with the way hydrogen cyanide works, I don’t think the victim should’ve been able to cough up blood like that. At most, he would’ve literally dropped dead because of how quick it works.

So what am I saying? It means a lot, since the murder weapon and how Jihoon was murdered plays a vital role in answering our case. If it has been really hydrogen cyanide, then the time of ingestion becomes different: it would’ve been a few minutes prior to death, which would make Wonwoo a very likely suspect as he was the one who gave Jihoon the rice crackers, which were the last thing he ate. However, if we need to go by the number of hours it should take for the poison to have an effect, then our time line would be different.

I will be thinking in terms of the timeline, so from here on out, I will be using the term ‘poison’ as I believe hydrogen cyanide wasn’t used.

Another note, it is important to note the bruising! I’m glad someone asked about the bruising because bruising appears differently pre- and post-mortem. If it is pre-mortem, a fall would be a likely explanation, but it would not rule out a possible fight (unless you take into consideration the surrounding: were there signs of struggle?). Post-mortem bruising would mean the killer would’ve been at the scene to move the body to a certain extent that would’ve gotten him that bruise, which would mean that someone had come in during or after his death (aka someone who had been to the Music Room from 1-3 PM!!). Compare this with someone who didn’t even have to be in the vicinity at all when he died once the poison had taken effect.

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty!

This is everyone’s collated timeline of events. The ones in grey have already been eliminated from the suspect list.

LET’S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!!

WHAT? Lee Jihoon is dead! Foul play is suspected and we have 12 suspects (now narrowed down to 8).

WHERE? No whereabouts/timeline is available for Jihoon but it’s a piece of evidence! SO! I! WANT! IT! j/k lol @thicckwan made a really good timeline for Jihoon! But it’s still a mystery where he was from 10-11:30, the supposed time of poisoning. Is it safe to assume that he was in the Music Room? I think not. For everyone who had Music Theory, they only had it once a day. If Jihoon was at the Music Room that time it is probably safe to assume his Music Theory is at 8:30. Which means he could be having Core Class or Dance Practice at the Studio. However, by elimination, he was not at the Studio (S. Coups, The8 did not mention him at the studio). That leaves us with either him being the Practice Room with Wonwoo or in Core Class.

And this is where we’ll need that map! (pls release the evidence please :’( ) The map is important because it’ll show us where everyone was. Was it really possible to see someone from the bathroom if they were walking down the hallway? If so, how well could they see him? Where were the classes held? Is it possible to go past the Music Room at one point to get to the Studio or Practice Room? HELP ME I’M DYING THIS IS THE ONE BIG THING MY BRAIN CANNOT COMPREHEND???

WHEN? In the field of forensics, the only thing you can trust is evidence. If the coroner says that the poison needed 3-4 hours before it could take full effect, we can trust that. That is why I will work on the assumption that the murderer had given him the poisoned food at around 10:30-11:30.

HOW? It was poison that had to take effect in 3-4 hours. Probably something odorless, colorless, or tasteless. Something that, even when mixed with food, wouldn’t make a victim suspect. Something that would give the killer an alibi for the time of death. If we are to go by murder-mystery anime logic, Wonwoo is someone we can eliminate. He gave him rice crackers at around 1:30 PM, and by then the poison was already ingested. So it is safe to assume that it had to be someone he was with somewhere between 10-11:30.

WHY? Motive, motive, motive. No murder occurs without one, even if they were unplanned. Let’s list down all the possible suspects and their motives!

Josh – he was close to Hoshi and knew Jihoon and him were secretly dating. Take note that if the poisoning did happen before 12 nn, the ‘fight’ hadn’t happened yet, so him poisoning Jihoon for the fight is out of the question. But! That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a motive. He could be out to plot revenge for (MAYBE!!) being closer to Hoshi than he was.

The8 – Good friends with Jun! We don’t exactly know what his relationship with Hoshi is, but he wasn’t that close with Jihoon, but it is safe to assume he respects him enough to ask him how he should interpret the song into a dance. Do we have a motive? If it is the general motive of Jihoon pissing everyone off at some point, then yes.

DK – close with Jihoon. Maybe probably jealousy for his talent? (BUT THIS BOY IS SO PURE HUHU)

Mingyu – Acquaintances with Jihoon, but goes tohim for help when writing rap lyrics, so it is safe to assume that he respects him. Again with The8’s, we will probably have a motive if Jihoon getting mad at everyone counts.

Wonwoo – Close with Jun! (WHAT IS UP WITH EVERYONE BEING CLOSE WITH JUN *eye wiggles*) He considered Jihoon and Hoshi as his friends, bu we have no idea how close. In Wonwoo’s interview, he refused to elaborate on how close he was with Jihoon by using a tactic well known to suspects: reversing the question (*MORE EYE WIGGLES*). Same with The8’s and Mingyu’s, we will probably have a motive if Jihoon getting mad at everyone counts.

Jun – AVOIDS THE QUESTION SO SMOOTHLY when asked of his relationship with Jihoon. Suspicious? Honestly him arriving at 10 AM with a car is really questionable for me. So what if your car had stalled? Normal students would’ve tried to commute. Or is he one of the rich kids who can’t and won’t commute? HMMMMMM well—close friends with Wonwoo and The8! Him getting to late to school gives him sooo muuuuch tiiiime to acquire the poison (and honestly, you’re in high school why do you have a car how old are you and how rich are you you’re probably from a family of dealers???). Did Jihoon catch him red-handed and now he’s out for revenge?

Hansol – Jihoon’s classmate who didn’t know him well! Tries so hard to be defensive when asked about his opinion of him. Also uses the excuse of ‘not being there at the time of death’ to escape suspicion and create an alibi (which, btw, is not airtight. I mean, no witnesses? Very suspicious.) Did he have a motive? Probably the same as The8’s, Mingyu’s and Wonwoo’s if ever.

S. Coups – Jihoon’s best friend! Denies having any other feelings for him other than being best friends. Knows of his relationship with Hoshi. GAVE SOMETHING TO JIHOON AT 9:30 AM??? What is this I am very curious???

I think that’s pretty much what I’ve summed up so far for motives.

AND NOW THE BIG QUESTION: WHO?!

I’ll be honest here ok I am no expert when it comes to things like these (I’ve been to 3 escape rooms, haven’t solved any of them //GROSS SOBBING) so this is just my honest opinion!

I’m cutting down my suspect list to people who are in the probably vicinity of when the poisoning took place: either the Core Classes or the Practice Room. Those in the Core Classes were S. Coups, Jun, and Josh. The only one in the Practice Room was Wonwoo.

But! More mysteries remain yet to be solved: Where was Joshua? Why couldn’t he remember anything from 1:15-3 PM? Was Vernon really in the vicinity when Jihoon died? If so, why?

Jeonghan has been announced innocent, so it is safe to assume his testimony is true. He had skipped class that day with DK and S. Coups, but now the question is: did they go out of school grounds? If they did, then S. Coups and Hansol’s testimonies confirm each other, and confirms that Hansol was in fact at home and not in school as what Jun claims.

Jun’s testimony reeks of holes because no one can confirm his alibi prior to 10 AM, and he had shown weird behavior by staying behind after school to practice while everyone else went home (and again, this is where the map comes in: where was studio placed anyway for it to be in a place where he can’t see students filing out?). He could’ve been lying about spotting Hansol to divert suspicion away from him, or he could assume that it was Hansol he saw (when in fact in was Joshua?!) during the 2:10 time OR EVEN NOT HAVE SEEN ANYONE AT ALL BUT HE NEEDED TO PUSH THE BLAME ON SOMEONE BECAUSE SUPRISINGLY THE TIME HE SAID HE WENT TO THE BATHROOM FALLS DURING JIHOON’S TIME OF DEATH?? What if he had not gone to the bathroom but in fact had checked in to make sure Jihoon was dead and erase all possible evidence leading back to him?

Joshua. This poor boy. What happened, really? He had left the library at 1:15 PM, arguably with his backpack (as evidenced by Chan’s testimony). He clearly insisted he was wearing a button down shirt but Wonwoo insisted he was only in a t-shirt. What if Wonwoo just had bad eyesight (this is a running joke ok)?

In conclusion! I still have no conclusion y’all I’m just leading you on a wild goose chase lol

But as of this moment, without any new evidence I need, Jun is my number one suspect.

I’ll probably update this post once new questions have been answered and once we get our new evidence!!
