He explains to Dreiberg that Blake was the Comedian, and that he was recently murdered. Rorschach tosses Dreiberg the smiley-face badge he had picked up earlier that night. He discovers his former partner sitting at his kitchen table eating from a can of cold beans. Dreiberg arrives at home shortly after, having just come from visiting the home of the original Nite Owl, Hollis Mason. Now retired, Dreiberg was formerly the super-hero known as Nite Owl. Rorschach then heads to the apartment of Dan Dreiberg. Locating a button inside the closet, Rorschach finds the old costume and paraphernalia of Blake's super-hero alter ego The Comedian. There he notices that one of Blake's closets is a bit shallower than it should be. He finds a blood-splattered smiley-face button where Blake had died, and breaks into Blake's apartment to investigate further.
After the police leave, Rorschach begins his own investigation. This particular murder has also caught the eye of a trench coat-clad masked vigilante Rorschach. The police marvel at Blake's imposing size, and the sort of intruder it would take to beat and murder such a man.
