Chapter 9 - Chemistry Research Facility Murder Case — ACT 9 : CLOSING IN

Inside the cafe...

Wait, an interrogation? Shingo asks curiously If we done that indirectly as well...Shingo said warily.

Don't worry, we're going to conduct our interrogation of them once we've made sure that your superior isn't there anymore. Izuru said coldly We'll have quite a hard time if we conducted it indirectly or with proxy again, we need to do it ourselves. Izuru said coldly.

Surprisingly, our minds have same thoughts at this moment. Dia said sarcastically.

Oh, squirrels have minds? Izuru said sarcastically.

Son of a bitch. Dia said intimidatingly.

Uhm, well...Izuru said hesitantly.

Suddenly, Dia's phone rang again.

Finally, our long awaited call. Izuru said sarcastically.

Dia answers the phone call and put it on speaker.

Is there any updates, Ms. Shion? Dia asks curiously.

Well, of course! Shion said enthusiastically.

What happened around the estimated time of death? Izuru asks curiously.

Seems like at 9:28 A.M the brothers have a fight about something and I didn't see anything unusual after that. Also, I've saw the three siblings running at 36. Shion said confidently That's all I can tell you for now. Shion said coldly.

Running? Asahina, ask her if she saw some blood stain in their body or in their clothes. Izuru whispered to Dia authoritatively.

Ms. Shion, have you seen any blood stain around those three? Dia asks expectantly.

Unfortunately, I haven't. Shion said warily.

It's okay, thank you very much for your help, Ms. Shion. Dia said appreciatively.

Ask her if the victim walks out of the room in the door where we ran out of it, there's two door in that room remember? The one near where he dies and the one in the front where we use to enter scene itself. Izuru whispered to Dia authoritatively.

Dia lets out a sigh of defeat.

Did the victim out of the room? Perhaps, using the door near his dead body? Dia asks curiously.

Uhm, based on what I've seen...It seems like it! Shion said confidently.

Again, thank you for your help, Ms. Shion. Dia said appreciatively.

Are you satisfied now too? Dia whispered to Izuru coldly.

Yes, that's all that I want to learn for now. Izuru whispered back to Dia authoritatively.

In that case, I'll be hanging up the call this time! Shion said enthusiastically.

Shion hangs up the call.

It seems like that only leaves more uncertainty. Dia said sarcastically.

It seems like we have to prepare for an interrogation...Shingo said sarcastically.

Running away at 9:36? A fight with his brother at 9:28? Izuru said curiously.

What's the matter, Izuru? Shingo asks warily.

Actually, the moment we entered the crime scene room earlier... I've analyzed the room itself, the part of the room where the corpse was found... isn't a part of the scope of the CCTV, at least, likely possibility. Izuru said coldly I've measured it up based on what I know about the scoping capacity of the typical CCTV, and I would say that that exact location and proximity can't be captured by the CCTV. Izuru said coldly.

So, this was clearly planned and further solidifies your deduction about the brother's involvement? Shingo said curiously.

Very good, you're quick to catch on, Shingo! Izuru said enthusiastically.

Anyways, you are also starting to suspect those three now, aren't you? Dia asks expectantly I am starting to suspect their likely involvement in here too. Dia said coldly.

Yes, they most likely played a part on this. Izuru said coldly I can already visualize some potential scenarios here. Izuru said coldly.

This case is more complex than I've ever thought. Shingo said warily

Care to enlighten us? Dia asks expectantly.

Well, that's to be continued! Izuru said sarcastically, letting out a laughter.

Come on, we're not in some anime or shit! Dia said irritatingly.

That's the more thrilling part out of it, isn't that right? Izuru said sarcastically.

Shut it already! Dia said irritatingly.

Come on now, calm down! Shingo said warily.

Dia lets out a sigh of defeat.

So, when do you want to reveal this "visualization" of yours? Dia asks irritatingly.

If we're already there to uncover the mystery behind the case, that is the right time. Izuru said coldly.

Whatever, just make sure that you're not going to keep us in the dark. Dia said coldly.

That's just her way of saying "I am dying from excitement already" Shingo said enthusiastically.

Quite tsundere of you again! Izuru said sarcastically, letting out a laugh.

I am not a tsundere. Dia said intimidatingly.

We're sorry! Izuru and Shingo said in unison.

Oh shit...Izuru said coldly.

What was it now? Dia asks irritatingly.

We forgot to say to Shion to give us a text or a call if the Inspector isn't around anymore! Izuru said clearly frustrated.

Oh, good grief. Dia said disappointedly, letting out a sigh.

Don't worry, I've already done it when the call ended! I've noticed that you forgot to say it to her...So, I told her through text! Shingo said enthusiastically.

Nice catch, Shingo! Izuru said enthusiastically.

You've save us, Shingo. Dia said appreciatively.

You're our life saver, damn right! Izuru said enthusiastically.

Oh, come on it's not that big of a deal...Shingo said shyly.

Hm, you're quite a tsundere yourself too! But, this squirrel right here is much worse. Izuru said sarcastically.

Oh, shut it! Dia and Shingo said in unison.

Shingo's phone suddenly vibrates.

Seems like that's our most awaited text! Izuru said enthusiastically.

Shingo checks his phone.

Well, it really is. Shingo said sarcastically.

Let's go back there immediately! Dia said coldly.

You two, go back there! Izuru said authoritatively.

What do you mean? Dia asks curiously.

I have something to check out. Izuru said coldly Shingo, could you give me Ms. Shion's number? Izuru said expectantly.

Alright! But, what for? Shingo said curiously.

Just give it to me, I'll explain later once we've reunited! Izuru said with urgency.

I look at my phone to check the time.

3:00 P.M Izuru mutters to himself.

Here, I've written the phone number in this piece of paper! Shingo said enthusiastically.

Write your numbers here too! Izuru said coldly.

Alright, just a moment. Shingo said confidently.

What's with the sudden hurry? Dia asks curiously What are you really trying to do? Dia asks expectantly.

Well, I am going to do something that we'll make us closer into solving the mystery. Izuru said confidently.

How exactly? Dia asks curiously.

That's just a little secret for now! Izuru said sarcastically.

Come on. Dia said irritatingly, letting out a sigh.

Here's the numbers! Shingo said enthusiastically.

Alright, thank you! Izuru said enthusiastically.

Wait, aren't we already closing in to solving the case? Shingo said confused.

Well, this will definitely makes us come even closer. Izuru said coldly.
