DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
"Mrs. Minoru, you claimed to have heard some loud screaming the night of the murder?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes it was so loud and disturbing, I could still hear days after, it was that bad," said Inari.
"Yet there were two witnesses who both live in close proximity of the Hinata's house as well and yet neither one heard any shouting or screaming that night. How is it that you were the only one that heard a scream so loud that it provoked you to call 911 that night and no one else?" asked Haruhi.
"Uh I don't really know, they must be going deaf or something," said Inari.
"Deaf huh, is that it?" asked Haruhi. "Mrs. Minoru, isn't it true you've had some financial trouble?"
"Uh yeah," said Inari.
"Objection, relevance?" asked Toshi.
"I have a point to all of this your honor," said Haruhi.
"Then please continue," said the judge.
"Isn't it true that you recently were able to pay off all of your debt and manage to have more left over to go on a vacation," said Haruhi.
"Yes, my husband got a raise at work.
"Oh really?" said Haruhi.
Haruhi walked back to her table and picked up a piece of paper.
"I have in my hand a report that shows various names of people making withdrawals from a certain account and for some reason your name is on it, both before and after Mrs. Hinata died. Why would your name be on this list making these withdrawals from the account if your husband was getting paid so well at work? Or could it be he's not doing so well?" Haruhi picked up another piece of paper.
"This is a recent financial report from your husband's work that shows that no one, including your husband, have not received any kind a raise in past few months! Yet some how you got money to pay for all of this debts and still have cash to burn! Could it be you were bribed to make that call?" Haruhi asked.
Inari looked like she was about to be burn at the stake.
"Uh well um, no, that's an account from a friend from my husband's work that said if we needed to we could use in case we needed it," she said.
"But then, why wait until these particular days in order to make the withdrawals? From what I heard you needed that money pretty badly," said Haruhi.
"We only found out about it recently," said Inari.
"Seems like a real nice coincidence you find out about it around the time you really needed the money and manage to be the only one that heard the scream and make a call 911," said Haruhi. "What was the name of the friend that gave you access to the accountant?"
"Uh, well," said Inari.
"Shall we call your husband up and ask him?" asked Haruhi.
"Uh," said Haruhi.
"Because from the looks of this list of people who've made withdrawals from this account, none of the names match any names from your husband's work," said Haruhi. "Could it maybe another friend?"
"YES!" shouted Inari, "That's it!"
"Oh like this name maybe, Ryo Hotaka," said Haruhi.
"Yes, that's him!" said Inari.
"Hmm intresting considering that those names are actually names from of two different people from this list!" said Haruhi.
A huge murmur came up from the people in the court room.
"That's my Haruhi!" said Kaoru proudly.
"You ticked me!" said Inari.
"How did I do that unless I manage to get you to admit you're lying about hearing the screams," said Haruhi.
"You, your just a big bully!" said Inari.
"That's enough," said the judge banging his gavel.
"No further questions," said Haruhi.
As Inari went and sat down, she looked like she was going to take a swing at Haruhi.
"Your honor, I'd like to take this time to call Officer Ebisu back up the stand," said Haruhi.
As Ebisu walked up to the stand he turned and looked at Haruhi.
"Don't think you can intimate me," he said boldly.
"Hmm," said Haruhi unfazed.
"Mr. Ebisu," she said.
"That's Officer Ebisu to you!" said Ebisu.
"Oh I'm sorry, Officer Ebisu, you said that you saw Mr. Hinata coming at you and that there was blood on his pants?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes, his wife's blood," said Ebisu.
"Was there any on his shirt?" asked Haruhi.
"Um no," said Ebisu.
"No, why not, I mean if he got on his pants bloody then why was there none on his shirt?" asked Haruhi.
"He probably changed," said Ebisu.
"So he had time to change his shirt and get his kids out of the time, but yet he had no time to change his pants?" asked Haruhi.
"He probably forgot about them," said Ebisu.
"Forgot about them, okay," said Haruhi. "Now did you ever find the bloody shirt?"
"No, we never found a bloody shirt," said Ebisu.
"So he had the common sense to change his shirt and then hid it so well no one ever found it, yet he never bothered to change his pants and hide them too?" asked Haruhi.
"Like I said he forgot about them," said Ebisu.
"Hmm, you think that's what happened?" said Haruhi. "Now isn't is also true you never found the murder weapon?" asked Haruhi.
"No, he hid that well too," said Ebisu.
"Oh did he? So he was able to hide the murder weapon so well that no one has yet to find it, and do the same with his shirt yet, he didn't bother to change his pants, what's up with that?" asked Haruhi.
"He made a slip up," said Ebisu.
"Hmm, Officer Ebisu what time did you get the 911 call?" asked Haruhi.
"6:20 pm," said Ebisu.
"And what time did you get to the house?" asked Haruhi.
"6:40 pm," said Ebisu.
"Really, that quick?" asked Haruhi.
"I wasn't about to sit around while a woman got hurt!" said Ebisu.
"Hmm intresting, um that's only 20 minutes isn't it?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes," said Ebisu.
"So Mr. Hinata had time to come home, stab his wife, hid the weapon, hid his shirt, put on a new one, get his kids and get outside all within 20 minutes?" asked Haruhi. "Doesn't that sound kind of weird that someone could do all of this within 20 minutes? Do you think could?"
Ebisu looked insulted.
"What are you implying?" he asked.
"Just that you're claiming that Mr. Hinata manage to get a whole lot done within 20 minutes, hide a murder weapon and a bloody shirt so well that no one has yet to find them!" said Haruhi. "I can't think of anyone that might have been able to pull something like that on their own!"
The crowded murdered again.
"Mr. Ebisu, do you ever have money trouble?" asked Haruhi.
"What does that have anything to do with anything?" asked Ebisu.
"Just this," said Haruhi as she once again held up the account list. "This list also happens to have your name on it as well Ebisu, and it shows you making withdrawals around the time Mrs. Hinata was murdered as well!"
The courtroom gasped.
"Why, you, you fucking bitch! You honestly are trying to suggest I took a bribe to arrest this man for murdering his wife?" said Ebisu.
"I never said that," said Haruhi.
"But you were thinking it weren't you?" shouted Ebisu.
"I can only say that you have been in trouble before for taking a bribe and you're on thin ice for it," said Haruhi.
"You, you're just trying to make look bad aren't you?" said Ebisu.
"Mr. Ebisu please calm down," said the judge.
"But this bitch is just trying to make everyone think I was bribed into arresting this man, can't you see that judge?" said Ebisu.
"Mr. Ebisu please control yourself or else I will have you removed from the courtroom," said the judge.
"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you, she's probably all ready got you thinking I was bribed, don't you judge?"
"Mr. Ebisu, you will do well to mind your tong and show some respect!" said the judge.
"Respect, respect for who, someone that can easily manipulate someone into thinking a certain way just because they use nice smoothing words, oh-no not me, you're not going to get away with it you bitch!" said Ebisu.
The next thing everyone knew, Ebisu jumped out of the stand and lunged at Haruhi and knocked her down on the floor.
Nearly everyone jumped up!
"Haruhi!" Kaoru shouted
Haruhi could feel Ebius's hands tightening around her throat.
"I'm going to shut you up once and for all!" shouted Ebisu.
