OK, what have we got
?
The victim is male, 1.80 m, about 30 years
old.
Cause of death
?
Have a
look.
Is that what it looks
like ?
Yes, he is wrapped into long
colored ribbons.
But that didn't kill him.
What was it
?
Actually, it was the black belt round his
hips. He was fatally
overrated.
Who found him ?
A neighbor heard funny
screams and called the
budo-paramedics.
They tried to demote the vic,
but the belt force trauma was too
severe.
Any clues
?
We found colored fabric
spatter all over his appartment but nothing
outside.
Must have been one of these illegal home
graduations.
Probably. It's already the fifth case this month. I
think we are dealing with a serial
anti-examiner.
But this time we found parts of a
rank certificate with a partial stamp print and a signature on
it.

We ran a search in
the examiner-licence database and got a
match.
It's the chairman
from the *** club. He is now our main
suspect.
Any idea
of the motive
?
It seems that the antisensei demanded
favors. They had an argument, and finally he gave the vic a rank
overdose. Promoted him point blank to black belt, probably with
self-made
documents.
Poor guy must have seen it coming. No sign of
defense. See that crazy grin on his face. He really trusted the
charlatan.
Yes, he fell
for the master illusion, but substance wise he was on
medium level, at most. Must have totally
underestimated the effect of the grading
gap.
Remember last week, the street bollards with
the yellow belts around them ? Seems that the rumors are true; the quack really does
promote
anything.

We booked the antisensei. First
he claimed to have an alibi. Said he had been framing club
members in the sycophant bar. Eventually he confessed when the
GSR put him at the crime
scene.
GSR
?
Graduation Stamp Residue. The evidence never
lies.
