Everyone else was mauled to death and eaten. There were either traces of blood or flesh laying around of those people. Shiki at worst had a scrach or a cut in the hallway. Only HIS blood was there.

Didn't think about that. There's certainly no precedent so I would have no clue what the police would do.

So, they isolated Shiki's DNA from the scene and they were able to conclude from the sheer lack of anything else relating to Shiki (severed limbs and such) that he was a suspect.

How do they know that Shiki was the owner of the DNA?

I'm sure somebody saw him enter the hotel and possibly leave so it's not out of the question they'd figure out it was his.

That's their job. Do you think the police would just give up on a brutal murder like this with everything going on the media? Also cameras. Every single hotel nowadays has cameras.

I'm a Linguistics major, and I RAAAAGE whenever I hear a made-up language that is clearly just a tape being played backwards.

It's easy to tell because it'll have lots of sounds that sound like voiced inhalations instead of exhalations. Some languages have that, but those are rather rare and not used much in those languages either because it's harder to do.

When you just play a tape of someone speaking backwards, it ends up sounding like half of it is inhalations. I remember the foreign dudes in Wings of Honniamise had that, and a few other animes have had it, I think.

As an African American Studies major, I am outraged at the lack of African Americans in VNs. It's as if they completely ignored the oppression that we suffered at the hands of the white man. We deserve equal housing rights, and equal rights to obtain a mortgage, independent of our skin color.

Actually, the real flaw in libertarian is that after they've turned government into a completely for-profit venture, they're basically planning to be ruled by the mafia. What I'm not sure of is whether they're expecting an ultimately benevolant mob or just hoping to set themselves up as the bosses.
