"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity."

Jan. 9; 10:00 a.m.
"Should we go to the service, Naomi?" Ran had asked her as they were leaving the cemetery.
"Eh? What service?"
"The school's conducting a service for your brother. Didn't you receive a letter?" Ran asked.
"I think I received it, but I haven't gotten a chance to read it."
She was still bothered by the first letter she had read.
"I am very sorry to learn that your brother has died. you do not know me personally, but I know who and what killed him. If you want, I may be able to help you.

"KUDOU NAOMI! Earth to Naomi!"
"Huh?"
"Your phone's ringing."
"Oh. Excuse me for a second."
"Who was that just now?" Ran asked.
"It's Inspector. It seems he wants me to go there. Right now." Naomi said, obviously irritated. "Well, see you. Gotta run. Kaito, you have spare keys to the house, right? Go home already!" she shouted to the pair of them as she ran off to the direction of Tropical Land.

10:30 a.m.
"What is it, Inspector? Did you find a clue?" Naomi asked while catching her breath.
"Well…the officers asked if you could investigate since you're the sister of Kudou-kun…" Inspector Megure told her, evidently blushing.
"Um…okay…" she said as she turned to look at the scene.
"Naomi, you should go with a policeman. They might think you're ruining the evidence."
But she already disappeared into the shadows.
"Don't worry about her. If someone follows her, she won't cry her heart out remember?" Kaito said.
"Kaito-kun? You followed her here?" Inspector Megure asked.
"Yeah. A knight can't leave the princess in distress." Kaito replied as he went to Naomi's direction.
"Go home. I'm fine. And stop calling yourself a 'knight'.," she said while turning her back at what he said, obviously disgusted at what he called her.

"Inspector! I found something!" A young officer suddenly shouted waving something in a zip lock bag.
"What?" the three of them; Megure, Naomi, and Kaito shouted.
"Good job, Edogawa-kun." Inspector Megure congratulated the officer, who hurried off to find another evidence.
"Edogawa-kun, huh? Isn't he a little too young to be in the force? I think he's my , um, he looks like someone familiar-" Naomi noticed.
"Well, Naomi, Edogawa-kun has been studying in America and he's finished his Criminology course two years ago. And he does look like him..."
"Oh."
"So, what exactly did this boy found?," she finally asked, trying to change the subject.
"It looks like a capsule of some sort to accomodate the poison. And he is not a boy anymore," the inspector answered, who knew that Naomi's dislike for boys was as much as Artemis'. And no, I didn't mean Artemis Fowl. I meant Artemis, godess of the Hunt.
"It's a capsule without finger prints, Nao-kun."
"And what,exactly, does this have to do with everything? We don't even know if this the poison that. . .killed. . . him.
He knew that her voice would break before she could say his name, the only person left from her family.
"You're missing the vital point. There wasn't a poison found in his system. Bu it is obvious he didn't die from natural causes. We would test this to find out if this was the cause of death."
"Then let me do it myself."
"We can't. You aren't part of the police force yet."
"You know I can't accept that kind of explanation, uncle."
"Fine, but for only 3 days. The chief would kill me."
"Believe me when I say I could bring it back after 2 days.", she replied knowing that the Inspector would trust her with it, because she was smarter than all the scientists in the police force combined.
"Here.,"the inspector said while putting the Ziploc in her pocket, "Don't tell anyone you got it from me."
