Didn't you read the "email"? Why would I write "Although I cannot be certain, as I did not have time to run investigations, it is my belief that Infernal Monkey is a pirate"? Why would I go through the effort of giving my reasons for suspicion as though I were still undercover? WHY?! I was a dead man, and if I knew for certain b/c of investigations I would have just said, "I investigated and I know Infernal Monkey is a pirate!"
Actually, I blame Pryopizm slightly for making it sound as though I had completely written it before I knew I would die. Even so, logic would dictate that if he allowed me to incorporate it in his story instead of "posting it last night" merely for "greater dramatic weight," I must have known I was dead.
