[folding the clothes back up as well as can be managed with such gross, bloody things...
after disposing of the bloody kerchiefs, Kaoru will return to the others.]
I could not find much of note. It appears as though the culprit has burnt the end of their right sleeve a small amount, and something appears to have gotten on the opposite shoulder, as well. I couldn't identify it, but I believe it may be dirt...
No, no part of the garment seemed damaged to the extent that it would ash. It was only a mark on the cuff, as though whatever was used to char the leg had been touched by accident.
Okay, so maybe our killer accidentally brushed their sleeve against the electric fence. Would that cause charring? That still doesn't explain the ash though.
I do not know what damage the fence might cause... It is possible that the ash is something the culprit burnt in order to hide evidence, and that their sleeve was caught in that.
Great. So now we have to figure out what our guy was burning and why they did it outside instead of just tossing it into the fireplace.
It has to be something small and flammable - there isn't enough ash for it to be anything big. So a piece of paper, maybe? Would Altman or Belarus have had a chance to figure out who their killer was and write it down?
It would depend on how quickly their deaths arrived... and whether or not they had any idea who their attacker was. [ie kaoru has no idea, which seems to be a theme this trial.]
If it weren't for the fact that both were in their rooms, I would think that perhaps the burned item was the passage map. That can also be hidden without the use of flame, though... But perhaps whatever it was, it was burned while the leg was being charred? It would explain why they did not get rid of it in the fireplace, at the very least.

How small? Was it burned enough to cause the amount of ash Poland found?
