[No gunpowder. But the bruises surrounding the entry wound also seem pretty consistent with a gunshot.]

[A little while after Marlow has examined the body, Susan will return to test her pet theory of Beat having been drugged with a hallucinogen. Given that his tongue and mouth appear normal, it is time once again for the strip solemn search in honor of the dead that the true killer may be found.

If a drug were introduced orally, there would probably be no signs but perhaps a doctored needle or syringe or blade had been used. She'll try to see if there are any more minor injuries that might resemble those marks. She'll also examine his eyes again - they're bloodshot, but what about his pupils? Are they unnaturally dilated?]

[His pupils are not unnaturally dilated, but there is a reddish sheen to them as well. There are no other marks on his body.]

[...]

That's not normal.

[Susan looks unhappy with her results when she's concluded. Reddened... pupils? What could possibly result in that?

...Given that all the knife wounds appear to have been made by Gundam to protect/frame/whatever May, she'll check Beat's head, too, on the off chance someone simply smashed him while he was dazed from fighting May. Denial is a strong motivator.]

[Nothing like that.]

[inthebones]

...I wonder if he took the wine.

[Sighing, Susan steps away from the body, reclothes it minimally, pauses, and puts Beat's dumb hat back on. It seemed to be his trademark.]

Something happened to you before May ever stepped into the chapel. It's the only way.
