[Susan nods silently to Sonia though her words aren't 100% supportive when they come.]

That would only be likely if the killer couldn't get their hands on a cigarette for whatever reason and chose to only plant ash instead, yes.

[Although Touko probably left the butts scattered about as well.]

[teenspirit]

But it was definitely cigarette ash.

[inthebones]

Ah, from one of her ashtrays left outside, as she claims to have done.

[teenspirit]

I don't understand? Did the wind blow the ash next to the leg?

[inthebones]

No, the idea she suggested was that the killer removed the ash from an ashtray outside her room and purposefully left it there to frame her.

[Susan has her reservations, but for the moment, not provoking Touko too far yet was the wisest move, she felt.]

Of course, that wouldn't result in the smell of the burnt flesh present in the ash as well.

[teenspirit]

...How would the burnt flesh smell even get there?

[ Pause. ]

Did we notice any small burn marks on the body?

[inthebones]

No, not at all. We examined it as thoroughly as could be expected, didn't we?

...A burn mark on the killer, perhaps?

[teenspirit]

Or a bruise, or cut.

We ought to check for all of those.

[inthebones]

...There was certainly a struggle in the room. Given Belarus's habit of carrying knives, I'm surprised the clothing the killer wore was entirely intact, really.
