Chapter 10 - Chemistry Research Facility Murder Case — ACT 10 : COMMENCEMENT OF INTERROGATION

Inside the cafe...

So, what's the game plan exactly? Shingo asks curiously.

I am going somewhere alone, I want the two of you to go back and conduct the interrogation at the crime scene. Izuru said coldly.

Where are you going exactly? Dia asks expectantly.

I am just going to go somewhere to further soldify our reasoning and move the investigation forward. Izuru said coldly.

Getting you talk is so hard, damn it! Dia said irritatingly.

Okay, let's go...I guess...Shingo said hesitantly.

Right, let's move and solve this case as soon as possible! Izuru said enthusiastically.

The three of them left the cafe.

We'll be parting ways here for now, let's regroup again later at the scene! Izuru said coldly Anyways, Shingo you have your ID there, right? Izuru asks expectantly.

Well, yes I do! Why do you ask? Shingo said curiously.

I want to borrow your badge! Don't worry, I am not going to lose it somewhere! Izuru said enthusiastically.

Only an idiot would believe your words, dummy! Dia said sarcastically.

Oh, a talking squirrel! Izuru said sarcastically.

Do you want me to tear your bones apart? Dia said intimidatingly.

Shingo clears his throat.

Why do you need it, Izuru? Do you need it for your own investigation? Shingo asks curiously.

Yes, indeed! Izuru said enthusiastically.

In that case, just make sure that you will not lose it! Shigno said enthusiastically.

Are you serious right now, Shingo? Dia said irritatingly, letting out a sigh.

Shingo gave his badge to Izuru.

Thankies! See you both later at the Chemistry Research Facility. Izuru said enthusiastically.

Izuru runs off.

And there he goes...Dia said sarcastically, letting out a sigh.

I guess we should go too, Dia! Shingo said confidently.

That's right, let's go and get the car. Dia said calmly.

Inside Dia's car...

Let's drive away so that we can reach the crime scene immediately, we don't know if Inspector will come back or not. Shingo said with urgency.

I know, calm down. Dia said calmly.

Dia drives away.

I wonder what Izuru is trying to do? Shingo said curiously.

Well, we don't know how that man's mind works...So, we can't definitely answer that question. Dia said coldly.

Hm, why are you constantly looking at the back seat? Shingo said teasingly.

I am not looking at it, you're definitely imagining things. Dia said coldly.

You're a terrible liar, Dia! We both know that. Shingo said enthusiastically Action speaks louder than worder, isn't that right? Shingo said enthusiastically Don't tell me you are already missing his teasing? Shingo said sarcastically.

Shut up, Shingo! In just a small amount of time, you too are also daring to infuriate me because of that man! Dia said irritatingly I won't ever miss even a single fiber of that man's being, happy now? Dia said coldly.

Hm, how tsundere of you! Shingo said sarcastically.

You're starting to adapt that man's stupid blabbering, you better shut it! Dia said irritatingly.

Alright, that was my bad. Shingo said sincerely.

I wonder how should we question the suspects later? Dia said curiously.

Well, we have to handle it on our own... Izuru isn't currently with us, we need to figure out our approach ourselves! Shingo said warily.

That's right, we need to do this on our own. Dia said coldly We'll employ legal questioning methods and strategically find the questions that will help us advance the case, just like how he is doing it. Dia said coldly.

Let's do that! Shingo said enthusiastically.

First, we shall figure out what questions should we ask them. Dia said coldly.

That's the most crucial thing here, we can't afford to mess up! It's our first ever suspect interrogation. Shingo said confidently.

All the more reason not to fail. Besides, I am pretty sure Izuru will mock us about being a lost cause again if we failed this. Dia said coldly.

Thinking about him now, huh? Shingo said sarcastically.

You better stop what you are trying to do here, Shingo. Dia said intimidatingly.

Yes, sorry! Shingo said sincerely yet sarcastically.

After several more minutes of driving, they've finally arrived back to the Chemistry Research Facility.

We're here! Shingo said warily.

You can go outside now, I'll just park the car somewhere else. Dia said calmly Also, calm down. Dia said sincerely.

Yes, I will. Shingo said warily.

If he's seeing you right now, I am pretty sure that you're going to be a laughingstock here for him. Dia said coldly.

I'll go out now, take care! Shingo said enthusiastically.

Alright, just calm yourself there. Dia said calmly.

Shingo goes out of the car and waits for Dia to come back.

She's really thinking about Izuru, huh? Knew it. Shingo said sarcastically.

After a few minutes of waiting, Dia finally came back.

I am here, let's go inside! Dia said coldly.

Right, what are we going to do first? Shingo said curiously.

Let's find Ms. Shion first, I am sure that she is still here! Also, she's the one who knows where the suspects are being held in to...So, that's our obvious choice. Dia said coldly.

Let's plan our questions along the way too! Shingo said confidently.

Right, let's go then. Dia said coldly.

They both entered the Chemical Research Facility...

Oh, you're here already! Shion said enthusiastically.

Ms. Shion, good timing we don't need to find you anymore! Shingo said enthusiastically.

Find me why? Shion asks curiously.

We want yo conduct our own interrogation on the suspects, Ms. Shion. Dia said calmly We want you to help us talk to them. Dia said calmly.

I get why you're doing this, it's because the two of you got grounded so you are secretly conducting your own investigations behind the Inspector's back...Shion said coldly But, don't you think what you are about to do is risky? Also, you two are still rookies! You're still inexperienced in handling interrogations. Shion said warily.

Someone trusts us to do this. So, we're going to pull it off. Dia said coldly.

That's right! Shingo said confidently.

Shion just lets out a sigh of defeat.

Alright, just follow me. Shion said warily.

You're going to help us, Ms. Shion?! Shingo said enthusiastically.

We're really grateful for your help all throughout our Investigation, Ms. Shion. Dia said appreciatively.

You're very much welcome, I guess...Shion said hesitantly Anyways, lets go! Shion said enthusiastically.

Understood! They both said in unison.

They all walked together towards the room where the 4 suspects are being held.

Anyways, I don't seem to see Mr. Izu Moro here? Where is he? Isn't he with you? Shion asks expectantly.

Damn, she's asking about Izuru...what to do? Shingo whispered to Dia warily.

Izu isn't here right now...due to some... emergency! Dia said calmly yet anxiously.

I see, I hope he's okay! Shion said warily.

"She's clearly lying but okay, I'll buy her story for now." Shion taught to herself.

We managed to deflect her question for now, thank you. Shingo whispered to Dia enthusiastically.

We can't let our guard down yet... Remember, she's a psychologist the MPD'S most skileld forensic psychologist. We can't be relief about it yet, I am sure she already grasped subtle signs of my lie. Dia whispered back to Shingo warily.

Right, let's just pray that she doesn't. Shingo whispered to Dia warily.

Right. Dia mutters to herself.

We're here, the four suspects are inside this room! Shion said coldly.

Shion opens the door and the three of them entered.

Are you ready, Dia? Shingo asks curiously.

I am ready, how about you? Dia said calmly.

I am ready to go too! Shingo said enthusiastically.

Then you can start your questioning! Shion said coldly.

Alright, let's do this! They both said in unison.
