A: Not my original idea…. But it's damn interesting so I'm putting this in here… again the classes are mixed… but for two separate cases… if this one turns out right I'll write the second mystery, which is definitely more interesting then this one… anyways here's the summary for this one…
Kyu, Ryuu, Kuniko and Saburamarou are assigned to solve a murder mystery concerning an ex-actress/model… the prime suspect has gone free but Kyu is convinced that it is him… but wait, what about his '#1 fan' who's ready to do anything for him? And his bossy cynical manager… how will they solve this mystery?
Oh yeah… R&R…

THE SECRET OF A PERFECT MURDER…
CHAPTER 1: the new case(s)
REPORT ONE
EXACTRESS MURDERED
Ex-actress Maya Shimamura (23) was murdered today in her suburban home in uptown Tokyo. Reports confirm that she was killed at exactly 10:53 this morning in the presence of her husband Joe Shimamura (28) and over a dozen fans and media personal who'd mobbed in front of their house that morning… and all of them swear witness to her terrifying scream as the dealt the final blow…
REPORT TWO
HUSBAND SUSPECTED
Police has officially suspected ex-husband Joe Shimamura as the perpetrator yesterday as the only one with a motive. There had been reports that the star couple were getting divorced a few days prior the killing. If this had commissioned Joe would lose half of his estate and property…
Joe Shimamura, the popular star of the hit series 'Hanging by a moment' has disclaimed this fact that it was a rough time for them and they had never really considered separating… Enraged fans had taken up protests outside the police station where he was being held.
REPORT THREE
JOE SHIMAMURA INNOCENT
The only suspect of the case has been released free. Not only did he have over a dozen reporters as his witnesses at the time of Maya's murder. He was reported to have been standing outside with the press when the scream had been heard. He also had passed the lie detector test the police had issued on him….
"Kyu" a low voice called, penetrating into his thoughts.
Kyu looked up, golden eyes smiling at his best friend "What is it Ryuu?"
"Nothing" the blue haired boy gave a curious look at the file in Kyu's hand "what are you reading about?"
"Remember the murder of the ex-actress two weeks ago. My cousin sent me this scrap book. She was a huge fan of hers… I think she wants me to solve this"
"Will you?"
"I don't think I have the time for that, we're really busy these days aren't we?"
"I can ask Principal Dan"
"Ryuu" Kyu laughed "its fine"
But Ryuu just gazed at him in this puzzling way….
THE NEXT DAY
"Class Q, here are your new assignments" Mr. Hongou barked when he finally arrived to class, late again but no one dare point that out.
"Assignments…?" Meg asked puzzled, staring at the two files in his hand.
"Any problem with that Ms Minami?"
"No… nothing" Meg stammered "I meant to say, how can we do two assignments at once?"
"You're going to be split in two groups…" a firm voice said, and everyone turned to face principal Dan and Ms Katagiri in the doorway.
"Why?" Kyu almost yelled. This has never happened before.
"We had taken notice of each of special points and arranged this…as each member has their vital roles in these two cases" He winked suddenly and class Q gaped at his sudden show of enthusiasm. "Think of it as adapting" he turned to Mr. Hongou "You may continue…"
"Meg, Kazuma, Kinta, you are assigned to the Himuro Mansion case concerning a series of mutilated bodies…" Meg swallowed, eye wide but Hongou ignored her and continued "…appearing on the premises of that mountain for decades the police reckon they are still conducting the same bloody rituals of their ancestors time. The police have tried to find out about it but the villagers are extremely tightlipped about it and there are rumors of over a hundred secret tunnels and catacombs in that mountain… enough to hide something that big. Also the following students of class A will be assisting in this case… Yukihira S, Shishido A, Gouda D. and Hayato S… so be sure to cooperate with them, that is all…"
Kyu who's eyes had lit up at the words 'mutilated, rituals and catacombs' suddenly burst out "Why can't I be in that assignment?"
Principal Dan smiled "because we have a special case for you…"
"Kyu, Ryuu you two are assigned to solve the murder mystery of Maya Shimamura… the wife of the famous actor who plays the great Nagasaki in 'Hanging by the moment'…"
Meg's eyes lit up dreamily "Why can't I be in that case?" whilst Kyu pouted and muttered something that sounded like 'women'…
"Because Meg, you are needed to memorize the Kanji characters in the runes… and Kyu have you never seen the series? It's a detective series… you'll like it" Ms Katagiri said in good humor "and Ryuu had specifically requested for this mystery"
For some reason Kyu GLARED at Ryuu, that however was unnoticed by Mr. Hongou who continued.
"Also assigned to this case are Kuniko Touya and Yukata Saburamarou…that is all, class dismissed." All the teachers left the room.
Kyu was still glaring at Ryuu.
"What?" Ryuu asked inquisitively.
"How could you?" came the answer.
"What?" Ryuu repeated confused this time.
"Now we have to go to some stupid actor's home while they get to that hostile village…" Kyu whined, throwing his hands up in the air.
Ryuu just sighed. Sometimes he didn't understand Kyu at all…
