Wammy's House: The First Case Ch.7

"Watari? Why would he know about Jeremy Armstrong?" Mello asked.

"Have you already forgotten who he is?" L said.

"ehh…oh, that right! He's the founder!"

"You know, you really should remember who the founder is"

"alright, jeez…I only forgot once!"

"Well anyway, Watari should be able to inform you. If not, he should be ale to contact Wammy's House for you"

"Ok, where is he?"

"I believe he's in the kitchen"

"thanks"

When the three entered the kitchen, they saw Watari creating a delicious looking chocolate cake.

"Watari" Near said.

"Yes, Near?"

"Do you recall the name Jeremy Armstrong?"

"Vaguely, yes"

"He's the one with the multiple personalities"

"ah, yes! Why?"

"He's just been murdered"

"really? By the same person as the others"

"Yes"

"That's certainly odd"

"Well, the strange thing is that all the records of his MPD are left out of his profile"

"You're sure it's the same man?"

"No, That's why we need you to contact Wammy's House and ask if they can dig up all the information they can on him"

"Alright, as soon as I finish this cake"

"Thank You"

So, after Watari had finished his cake, which Mello, Matt, Near, and L all agreed was the best cake ever, Watari phoned up Wammy's House.

"Hello" said the voice of Roger at the other end.

"Hello, this is Watari"

"Ah, Watari! This is Roger speaking, how many I help you?"

"I'd like you to find out everything you can about Jeremy Armstrong"

"Oh, that man with MPD?"

"Yes"

"Right away!"

"Thank you, Roger"

"Not a problem. If there's anything else you need, feel free to call"

"Gladly"

"Goodbye, Watari"

"Goodbye"

As it turns out, they were able to discover that the Jeremy Armstrong who was murdered is indeed the Jeremy Armstrong that had MPD"

"Just great. This makes things complicated" Matt sighed.

"Yea, that's for sure" Near said in agreement.

"Perhaps" L said.

"L, even you must admit this changes your theories"

"Yes, it does"

"Well, this case isn't going to get solved by standing around. We should get working"

"I suppose"

"Well, we should start by looking more into Jeremy's MPD. It'll probably help us understand this case" Near suggested.

"Yea, that's the best idea…but where do we start" Matt asked.

"We could question his wife. She probably knows the most about it" Mello said.

"That's probably a good place to start"

"Great, something else for the police to do"

"You know Mello, when you're solving cases on your own, you'll have to depend on the police. They aren't really that inefficient" L interrupted once again.

"Yea, I guess so"

"Anyway, L, we have a favour to ask of you"

"I'll get right on it"

Meanwhile, Mello, Matt, and Near were all researching Multiple Personality Disorder. Multiple Personality Disorder(or MPD) is when a person's brain created a completely different personality in order to protect the first one. The personalities are often not conscious of each other. This condition is rare and occurs when a person has experienced some form of trauma.

It was extremely important for the three young detectives to be educated about MPD, so they could understand more about the case they were getting into.

After a couple of days, the results from the police came in. Although it took awhile for the wife to confess it, Jeremy Armstrong did indeed have MPD. They learned he had only possessed two personalities, one of which being that of Jeremy Armstrong, and the other being a rather hateful and violent man named Daniel. The wife had said that "Daniel" rarely came out, at home anyway. It was only once every few months that "Daniel" appeared before Jeremy Armstrong's wife. When asked why she chose to hide this fact, she responded that she didn't see it important, and she had already gotten involved in many physiological projects, and was investigated by a special organization, whom she wasn't told much about(this organization being Wammy's House, of course). The police then went on to question her about any past traumas in Jeremy's life that would cause the MPD to develop. The wife seemed unable to answers, and just said that she had never been informed on this subject. After that, it seemed they wouldn't be able to find out anymore answers through the wife, and decided to leave her be.
