Sus On Red and Green

Don't mind me posting this 40min after the second part

Who do you think the killer is, and why?

I, hmmm how to explain. I'm almost convinced it wasn't Uraraka or Momo now. At least, not for the possible motives revealed by this affair. If Uraraka just wanted a more ive husband, she would have divorced Deku. She wouldn't have denied Shoto, leaving him and feeling guilty about the affair. And Momo? She's one of the smartest people in this show, and her idea at punishing Uraraka is to kill the number one hero? Even if she was upset, Momo isn't that dumb and shallow. Not only would she be harming the other person who was betrayed in this affair, she'd be ridding the world of the number one hero.

As for who I think it is, I think it's either Bakugou or Deku. I ruled out Shoto for this one, because I have a really hard time imagining him actually being hurt that deep by an affair coming to an end. Anyway, while it would be cheap if Bakugou killed Deku(seeing as they're rivals), the possible motive makes sense. Not only is he able to hide his debt/embezzlement or whatever is going on there, he believes he is a benefactor in Deku's will. It's all too perfect.

However, the lack of weapons or DNA at the crime scene makes me believe perhaps Deku learned of the affair. His wife who he loved so much, rather than tell him her concerns about him drifting away, decided to sleep with one of his closest friends. In his efforts to save as many people as possible, he forgot to save the one person he cared for most of all. But, then is it really a murder mystery?

Did your opinion change from the previous post? Why or why not?

Not only did it change, I managed to convince myself the two people I suspected probably aren't the culprits.

What questions do you have about this crime that are still unanswered, that would help you solve it?

To Uraraka

When did you learn about Bakugou's...issue?

Even if you couldn't get a divorce with Deku, why didn't you continue your affair with Shoto? Was it really guilt?

Why didn't you talk out your marital problems with Deku?

Do you feel you are in danger yourself?

To Momo

Did you ever suspect Shoto might be seeing somebody else?

Do you think Uraraka deserves this pain?

Do you think Deku's death might effect the affair at all?

Do you feel you are in danger yourself?

To Shoto

What was your relationship like with Uraraka? Was it sexual or romantic?

Why did it bother you that Momo didn't want to be a housewife?

Do you want children?

To Bakugou

Were you told how much money you would receive upon Deku's death?

What did you gamble your money on?

What would you have done if your agency went bankrupt?

Do you think there will be a murder weapon that comes up in the physical evidence?

I highly doubt it. All the suspects are pro heroes. Other than Momo, they use their quirks to fight. However, considering there were no mentions of burn marks on Deku's body, if it really was Bakugou, he must have used something other than his quirk.

In your opinion, what do you think ultimately killed the hero? Was it the blunt force trauma, or could it have been something like poison or drugs?

The only injury was on the forehead, right? Well, not the only. They say suicide wasn't ruled out, and even mentioned the possibility of him having jumped off the nearby building, so there must be more. But, I suspect it was a fall. Whether it was intentional or he was knocked out, it seems odd he would die in an alleyway with nobody there to witness any confrontation. A battle between pro heroes is not easily hidden in an alley, after all. Unless...there was no fight?
