The Eastern Execution
This just in from the east: the rumors surrounding Vespa, co-ruler of Arugin, have now been confirmed. Vespa Adi is no longer counted among the living. Vespa was widely known for championing Foxkin rights as a condition for peace with Sanko, and for personally spearheading improved relations with the Inchlings.
Tsukine sources remain tight-lipped regarding how her body was discovered so far from the palace grounds, though whispers of a kidnapping gone wrong have quickly become the leading theory. The attack is believed to have occurred while her elder sister, Amita, was away conducting diplomatic negotiations with Sanko.

Vespa is dead.
It took one day to find her. It took two days for Amita to learn of this. Four till she could verify it. Five days left unburied in bed. Ojin's blessing preserved her body, even after the soul within departed.
If you want the canon twist then flip on the lorebook entry: Canon Truth - Optional. By default it's off so you can go free form and decide who the killer is. Play it straight, or maybe the user did it, or whatever other crazy twists you can think of. Try to reveal it only at the climax of the investigation — models are no good at keeping secrets, so it will spill early otherwise.
