"Bathroom chicks?" Aoko asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"There were two girls who entered the boys' lavatory and they look too much like those girls." Shinichi answered.
"I don't doubt Shinichi's memory but—are you sure? Maybe they're just a look-alike. Like you and Kaito and me and her." Aoko said, pointing at the respective people she just mentioned.
"Actually Shinichi, you're right." Kaito confirmed. "I was with you back then. They're my classmates so I can tell it was really them."
Shinichi glanced at Kaito and said, "Didn't you already tell me back then that they are indeed your classmates?"
Kaito scratched his head and blurted, "Oh yeah! I did! Woops!"
"You know, you two really shouldn't have taken off those signs yesterday." Saguru blurted.
"Wait! So you're the one who left from the girls' lavatory?!" Sonoko asked in disbelief.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Saguru exclaimed while raising his left brow, Aw man! And I was wishing that no one would see me while I left that place!, he thought.
"Oh. I guess it must've been someone else." Sonoko replied.
"Why'd you guys take off the signs anyway?" Ran asked while making sure she's not being rude.
The three boys just looked at each other and Saguru shook his head. Kaito looked at Shinichi and vice versa. They didn't know what to answer her. If they tell them about the scandal, then Saguru would get angry with them. Not to mention that the girls will probably say that they weren't a good example to others, not following rules and somehow being 'bullies' and all.
"Well? Why did you?" Ran asked again.
Saguru shook his head again then Kaito said, "We were just doing it just to um—."
"Experience the fun of doing pranks—again." Shinichi blurted, cutting Kaito off.
Kaito just glanced at Shinichi then said, "Really?" then he realized that the girls were starting to become suspicious of them. "I mean—I thought that we did that because we would just like to find out what would happen."
"Exactly. The fun of doing pranks again."
"Right." Aoko answered sarcastically. "Something feels wrong still."
"Somehow I feel like I'm a criminal and Aoko's the detective who's forcing me into a corner." Shinichi said.
"So—you did do something wrong?"
"No." Kaito and Shinichi answered innocently in unison.
"Okay. So I guess we're all good here." Aoko said.
"No. We're not!" Ran asked, trying not to show her anger. She was angry because she was placed in a most embarrassing situation and not to mention that Shinichi remembered them makes it more humiliating. What makes it worse is that these people in front of her were the reason why they were placed in that position.
"Umm—we're not?" Shinichi answered, beginning to go scared because of Ran's expression on her face and she was balling her hands into fists.
"Why you!" Ran couldn't contain her anger and started kicking Shinichi. Yes! Among all the people present she had to choose Shinichi. The reason is that he's the one nearest her and he was the one who answered her. Weird huh?
Shinichi was a little shocked at first but then he got used to dodging her kicks. Kaito was a little worried because Ran's a black belt and she's also the captain of the Karate team not to mention that she would always win the championships. He doesn't want to know what kind of injury she can give Shinichi now that she's very angry. The normal blows were already painful enough, what more if she's furious.
"Hey! Calm down!" Kaito shouted.
By that time Ran wasn't listening at all to anybody and she kept on kicking and Shinichi ducked so he could just run away from her. But much to his misfortune, his ducking timed with Ran's approach forward and her kick. As a result, his head went into her skirt. That angered Ran even more and she beat him up so he wouldn't see anything anymore.
"That wasn't in my plan. And that hurt." Shinichi moaned in pain while lying down on the floor. He got up with much difficulty though.
"You alright Kudo?" Saguru asked as soon as he was standing up.
"I'm not telling anything to you anymore." Kaito chuckled, looking at Ran.
"It's not my fault!" Ran shouted. "He made me angry!"
"It's not mine either! He was the one who brought up the whole thing!" Shinichi stated, pointing at Saguru. Wherein fact, he himself was really the culprit of bringing up the whole subject.
"I—I—I, Kaito was the one who took off the signs!" Saguru said, trying to defend himself. He doesn't want to get beaten up by a girl. He had too much pride.
"Still—I wasn't the one who thought of the whole plot."
"I don't care who's responsible for it! Stop playing these juvenile tricks already, you got that?!" Ran shouted, turned around and left the room, slamming the door behind her.
"Man! She got you good Shinichi." Kaito said.
"She's very brawny." Shinichi stated after a gulp.
Sonoko turned to them, bowed and apologized, "I'm very sorry about that."
"It's fine. Anyone would get angry with that. Anyway, let's clean up now." Shinichi replied.
They continued picking up the scratch papers that Saguru started cleaning up. The music scores, they put in the folders on the shelf. When all the picking was done, Aoko and Saguru swept the floor. The rest fixed the chairs in the correct order as soon as they were done sweeping. There were also some vandals written in the board so Shinichi erased them.
As soon as they were done, they thanked each other for helping and congratulated them for their good work. They went back to their respective rooms and ate there.
Sonoko looked for Ran the moment she went in their homeroom. She can't really count on Aoko on helping her search now that Kaito's back in their room. Naturally, they would want to spend time with one another now that they're dating. In fact, a lot of girls are jealous of her because aside from the two detectives, Kaito is one of the most popular guys in school. That was one factor that Sonoko forgot when she shouted, 'You know them?!' back in the music room.
Sonoko found her friend in her seat near the window. But just as she was going to approach her some other girls asked her for news that happened in the music room. They were so excited and Sonoko also got into the fan girl mode.
"Well—Shinichi Kudo and Saguru Hakuba was there to help us clean up." Sonoko said.
Numerous squeals from them emerged and the whole class of 2-B had to cover their ears.
"We're so jealous Sonoko!"
"Yeah!"
"What did he say to you?"
"Hmm? Well—he said thank you for your hard work. Then they shook my hand and smiled!" Sonoko squealed as soon as she was done formulating her sentence. Who wouldn't squeal if they got praised or just got talked to by their idol. Of course, the others were squealing as well but at the same time, they were jealous.
As the day continued, Ran's anger abated. She was surprised that there was only an hour of training for their team. Their coach announced it himself. Well, taking the current circumstances into consideration, it's no wonder. Ran changed into her Karate uniform and made her way to the dojo.
In the police station, the high officials were having a meeting. That includes the inspectors, the chief police officer and for some reason the detectives were there as well. The others were being troubled about what they're going to do with all that's happening. Many people are filing complaints about them saying that they're not doing anything. And they do that all because their child or their relative is the one who got kidnapped.
In fact, the students aren't the only ones who were given a curfew but everyone else in town. The serial killer's main targets are young girls but they didn't say that they're his only targets. Which means, there's a possibility that he'll go after other people. Better to be safe than sorry as the policemen say.
After the meeting, they went to their teams and started roaming around the town. They do this just to make sure that there's no one else in the streets. Well—that's the main excuse they say but they're also trying to find the suspect. Of course, if you're experiencing something like this wouldn't you also want to catch the killer? And so, it was another long day for them.
