Inside the Chemistry Research Facility, the room where they are holding the suspects...
What questions should we ask the four of them? Shingo asks, scratching his chin.
Of course, the relevant questions that will push our investigation through. Dia said coldly.
Hm, you've really starting to adapt his strategies, huh? Shingo said, elbowing Dia's shoulder playfully.
Shut up, I just want to work efficiently...like... nevermind! Dia said, her cheeks blushing.
Like Izuru? Shingo said, chuckling.
Shut up! Let's just go and start this questioning. Dia said irritatingly.
Right! Shingo said sarcastically.
Dia and Shingo approaches the 4 suspects.
Good afternoon, I am Officer Dia Asahina. Dia said coldly, showing her ID and badge to them.
I am Officer Shingo Miyano, her partner! Shingo said confidently, he shows his ID to them.
Okay, you may start your interrogation. Shion said confidently.
Thank you, Ms. Shion! They said in unison.
Hey, you lead the questioning...Shingo said warily.
I got this, don't worry too much. Dia said reassuringly.
So, are you here to question us too? Takeru said coldly.
That's right and since you're already there...Dia said calmly.
We will start with you! Shingo said sarcastically.
Takeru lets out a sigh.
"I knew it, I shouldn't have talked to begin with." Takeru taught to himself.
Alright, ask whatever questions you want to ask. Takeru said calmly.
Shingo and Dia looks at each other's eyes. Dia then turned her attention back to Takeru and she clears her throat.
First question, where are you and what are you doing during the time the murder presumably occured? Dia asks expectantly.
"Let's see if you will lie...as we have heard from Ms. Shion, around the time before the murder he and the victim got into a fight so that means they are in the same room. If he tries to change the setting here in his alibi, there's a high chance that this man will be our assailant." Dia taught to herself, waiting for Takeru to answer.
I am with my brother before he died. Takeru said calmly, his voice is shaking a bit because of emotions.
Seems like he didn't lie after all. Shingo whispered calmly.
Why would I lie? This will help us give my brother the justice that he deserves. Takeru said coldly.
Aren't you worried that one of the persons behind your back is the one who killed him? Dia asks sympathetically.
Hey, that's a bit out of line don't you think? Shingo said hesitantly.
It's alright. Takeru said calmly, clearing his throat I am worried that one of his students might be the killer and if ever that is really the case here...I won't forgive them. Takeru said coldly, striking a piercing glare on the three siblings behind him.
Alright, let's move on to the next question! Uhm, shall we? Shingo said hesitantly, with a nervous chuckles.
Good idea, let's get straight to the next question. Takeru said coldly.
Dia clears her throat and turns her attention back to Takeru.
Next question, is it true that you and your brother had a fight before the murder occured? Dia asks expectantly.
That's right, just a small misunderstanding that we've fixed right away. Takeru said calmly.
May we ask what is the reason why you two have fought? Shingo intervenes.
We fought about the progress of the experimentation phase, I suggested something to make it much more efficient and fast yet he disagreed, That why we have this misunderstanding. Takeru calmly explains.
Alright, thank you for answering. Dia said calmly.
Please call the other three here, Sir! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Right away. Takeru said calmly and left to call the other three who is sitting in a couch behind him.
Hm, they fought because the other wants to work efficiently and swiftly but the other one wants to work methodically. Shingo said sarcastically, looking at Dia teasingly Sounds familiar right?Shingo said teasingly.
Shut up, that's not how it is okay? Dia said irritatingly.
Yes, it surely isn't! Shingo said sarcastically Because if that is really the case why you are incorporatingIzuru's methods right now, right? Shingo said teasingly.
Shut up, I just want to...get this over with! Damn it! Dia said, her cheeks blushing.
Fine, let's question the other three then! Shingo said sarcastically.
But, don't you think Takeru is somehow lying about some of his statements? Dia said hesitantly.
Which part? Shingo asks curiously.
I don't know, I just have this inkling. Dia said irritatingly Let's focus on the three siblings first and discuss things over later for better clarity. Dia said coldly.
Okay, let's do that! Shingo said confidently.
Damn it, where did that man exactly go? Damn you and your antics, Izuru Moroboshi!Dia mutters to herself.
Shingo just lets out a playful chuckles and Dia immediately elbows him.
You called for us, Officers? Mikoto said calmly.
Yes, sorry to bother you. Shingo said warily.
We just wanted to ask you some questions about the crime. Dia said coldly.
The three siblings exchanges glances.
Ask away, please make it quick. Takenori said coldly.
We got it! Shingo said feigning enthusiastically Let's start, this man really is the real deal. Shingo whispered to Dia warily.
Dia clears her throat.
Alright, let's start your interrogation. Dia said coldly We'll ask some questions and the three of you will answer one by one, are we clear? Dia said expectantly.
Yes, we got it. The siblings said in unison.
Now then, let's move on to the question...Where were the three of you and what are you doing during the presumably time of death of the victim? Dia asks expectantly.
I was in the restroom that time. Mikoto said hesitantly.
May I ask what are you doing there? Dia asks curiously.
What else? Of course, some...girl stuff! You're a woman too you should know that! Mikot said her cheeks burning red.
Hm, what does she mean? Huh? Shingo said sarcastically.
Shut up and focus! Damn, that man isn't here but...whatever! Dia said irritatingly, her cheeks blushing.
Dia clears her throat.
So, next question! Dia said irritatingly Basing on the CCTV Footages, you have been seen in the scene around the time murder has presumably occured and run away of the room...why is that? Dia asks coldly.
I heard a scream... that's why, I came in the scene immediately and just saw the body lying there lifeless...Mikoto said calmly, fidgeting the hem of her shirt.
She's clearly nervous and not as confident as she is back in the first and second question. Shingo whispered warily.
Right, it's suspicious. I don't get why Mikoto is acting suspiciously while the brother of the victim just straight up answered everything "TRUTHFULLY". Dia whispered coldly.
Now, it's your turn to answer those same questions...Mr. Takenori! Shingo said feigning enthusiasm.
Alright, I was in the experimentation room back when that happened and I heard a shout so I immediately came into the crime scene. Takenori said coldly.
I see, then how about you, Mr. Asahi? Dia asks expectantly.
I was with Big Brother. Asahi said, fidgeting nonstop.
I see, that's all we got for now! We'll come back if ever we wanted some questions to be answered. They said in unision, bowing politely to them.
Are you done with the questioning? Shion asks curiously.
Yes, Ms. Shion. Dia said calmly.
Thank you so much for letting us conduct this interrogation, Ms. Shion! Shingo said enthusiastically.
I just noticed, Shingo...where is your handcuffs? Dia said warily.
Handcuffs? Shingo said curiously.
Shingo begun to inspect himself.
Damn, it's missing! Maybe I left it somewhere in the cafe earlier. Shingo said warily.
It's unlikely, the moment we exited the cafe earlier it was still on your waist...and now it suddenly disappeared? Dia said coldly Izuru might have took it with him, you know how that man works...a complete jerk asshole. Dia whispered irritatingly.
You think that he stole it while we are conversing earlier outside the cafe before parting ways? Shingo whispered warily.
Just a woman's instinct. Dia said coldly.
Shion clears her throat and adjusts her glasses.
I want to ask the both of you again, do you know where Mr. Izu might have been? Shion asks expectantly.
Unfortunately, we don't know. Shingo said hesitantly.
He just took off because he...he...have some emergency situation with his family! That's what he said...Dia said feigning her usual demeanor.
Calm down, Dia. Shingo whispered calmly.
I am calm. Dia whispered coldly.
Is that so? Shion said hesitantly.
Yes, that's it! Shingo said feigning enthusiasm.
Then, why is he asking me to take a video of your interrogation and send it to him? Also, why is he asking for the name of the victim's ex wife and child also the name of the university where the kid is admitted? He said that it was all your orders. Shion said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
Uhm...Dia said irritatingly.
She's definitely starting to suspect, I can feel it just by her gaze! If Izuru's cover got blown, I don't know what will happen let's try to prevent things from escalating! Shingo whispered warily Remember,It's part of our agreement with him that we will keep his true identity as a secret and also his involvement and his role as our mentor to just the three of us. Shingo whispered with urgency.
I know! God, for fuck's sake. Dia whispered coldly That man really is messed up, damn you and your antics! Dia whispered irritatingly.
"Damn it, Izuru! What are you really up to out there and where the hell are you really going?!" Dia taught to herself.
