Case 4-2 - Turnabout Corner

Big storm in our area knocked our internets out for a day and a half. I appreciate your patience.

Yeesh. So apparently when Alita confronted Dr Meraktis, he sprung on her and tried to strangle her with the power cord of the desk lamp we found, which was why it had a weird red smudge on it, from her lipstick. Alita testifies to being unconscious after this and because Dr Meraktis surely thought he had killed her, he needed to hide the body quickly. Which, average Joe Schmoe, sure. A medical doctor?? You wouldnt do all the normal did I really kill this person checks? I guess it was one of those fit-of-rage, oh-no-what-have-I-done moments, but still.

We ask what Dr Meraktis was then doing with the noodle stand? He had clearly moved almost all of the bowls to make room for the unconscious body of Alita Tiala, and he was on a precise heading for a river. That way, he could dump the noodle stand, and the incriminating body, and get away with it. This was the point at which Wocky presumably confronted him. Alita awakens in the noodle cart, realizes Dr Meraktis is pulling it, and shoots him right after Mr Stickler had called out - resulting in a bullet through the right temple.

As if this couldnt be more complicated, we then go on a giant unnecessary tangent about how Dr Meraktis had a CAR, why didnt he put the body in his CAR, his CAR worked, why didnt he use his CAR to transport the body. Let me tell you, the true crime fandom is screaming right now. Tip of the Day: do not, under any circumstances, use your car to move a body. They will leave all kinds of clues behind no matter how well you think you cleaned afterwards. Fiber, hair, skin cells, blood or other bodily fluid residue. Basically, youre screwed as soon as the body goes in your car.

We come to the bizarre conclusion that Trucys panties stuffing up the exhaust pipe prevented the car from running and thats why Meraktis didnt use his car. Not that using his car is a legit terrible idea. Not that, you know, he was involved in a hit-and-run earlier in the evening and injured a defenseless bystander [Phoenix]. Not even that his car is missing a side mirror and is as such not cool to drive - per Japanifornia Vehicle Code, Section 26709: every motor vehicle that is subject to registration in the state of Japanifornia, except motorcycles, must have two mirrors that reflect to the driver a view of the highway for a distance of at least 200 feet to the rear of the vehicle.

Nope, none of that stuff that makes sense. Outta here with that nonsense, this is Apollo Justice. Any plot to use the car was definitely foiled by panties.

On to the next case! See you tomorrow!
