Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the story picks up from the last chapter, and here the investigation commences as Kirigiri establishes some theories as she inspects the leads that would lead to the murderer of Yuta Asahina while Naegi looks on amid some attempted interference.
Well, enjoy!
Ch. 4: Han'nin o Tokutei Suru
In the heat of the moment, Kirigiri is starting to gain the trust of the police due to her superb analytical ability, and the arrogant inspector was so pissed off that he slapped Kirigiri so hard that the impact sends her to the floor, and Inspector Ishimaru is pissed and can no longer tolerate this and pinned the arrogant man to the floor and ordered his men to restrain the man, which they did, handcuffing him as Naegi helps Kirigiri up. She appeared to be okay save for a rather deep slap mark on her cheek and Inspector Ishimaru apologized for what happened and encouraged her to press charges, which she nodded and said she will continue to help in the investigation, and Ishimaru nodded saying that she is welcome to offer her aid in solving this case.
"Are you alright, Ms. Kirigiri?"
"Yes..."
"I am sorry about that..."
"It is fine..."
"Take my advise...press charges against that pig...someone should teach him a lesson..."
"I will..."
"Feel free to offer your suggestions...your help would be appreciated..."
"Yes, of course..."
By then Naegi asks her if she is okay, which she nodded and thanked him for the help, and he said that he would like to help in solving the case though she urge him to stay out of it since he is not an investigator and said she will help the police through legally and morally means, and advised him to move on and help the Asahina family in their moment of need, which Naegi can only stare in silence, as he felt powerless to do anything to help Aoi and her parents as Kirigiri told him not to get involved in this case.
"Please...stay out of this case..."
"But..."
"You have no jurisdiction here..."
"But still..."
"This is for your own good..."
"..."
"Just take my advise..."
"..."
Naegi was dejected when told that he cannot get involved in this case, yet he wasn't about to give up, and by then Inspector Ishimaru approached Kirigiri and asks her if she has any suggestion that would help in the investigation, and she glanced at Yuta's body, which is being taken away, and she glanced at the inspector and told him to ask the Asahina family if they happen to know any of Yuta's friends, saying that they might know anything about Yuta in his final days before being murdered.
"Hmm...you have a point..."
"Ask his family if Yuta has any friends...they might know something that would give us a lead..."
"Yeah...that is a good point."
"Try to gently persuade them, Inspector..."
"Don't worry. Leave it to me."
"Okay. We can't afford to blow this one up."
"I know."
"..."
Inspector Ishimaru nodded and went to the Asahina family and asks them if they know any of Yuta's friends, saying that they might noticed anything about Yuta before he was tragically murdered, and the family nodded and said they will contact Yuta's friends and asks them for information regarding Yuta, and as Kirigiri is about to survey the place, Naegi approached her and pleaded to let him tag along with her saying this is also important to him because Yuta was his friend, and Kirigiri noted that Naegi can be stubborn at times, yet admired his perseverance.
"You really are stubborn..."
"I really want to help."
"However..."
"Yuta was my friend...I want to know who the culprit is and why would she do such a thing."
"It would be better if you leave this case to us..."
"At least let me participate!"
"But..."
"Please!"
Kirigiri sighed seeing that she could not shake him off, and decided to have him under her wing and told him her terms, which he readily accepted, and the two teens began to make rounds within the place, and found a bottle of perfume and cologne, and while surveying it, Naegi wondered if the culprit is moonlighting as a prostitute, but Kirigiri said that it is unlikely because if she were in Yuta's place she would turn down the culprit's offer, and said that there is a possibility that Yuta know about the culprit and that may have played a hand that led him here.
"You really think so, Kirigiri-san?"
"Yes."
"But...how can you...?"
"If the culprit is a prostitute...as you assumed to...then Yuta would never go with her in the first place...but in this case...it is possible that Yuta knew of the culprit...and went with her..."
"Seriously...?"
"Given the evidences and clues we got so far...this is the farthest we got at the moment."
"..."
"Follow me."
Kirigiri then led Naegi around the house and showed him the areas that might provide a clue, and as the hours passed, Inspector Ishimaru approached the two teens and told them that his men spoke to some of Yuta's friends, and they said that they did not notice anything unusual, which Kirigiri silently whined as she is sure that someone might saw Yuta being approached by the culprit, but then one of Ishimaru's subordinates came and told them that he approached a passerby, showed her Yuta's picture and asks if there is someone who was with Yuta.
Inspector Ishimaru, Kirigiri and Naegi listened intentively when told that the passerby said she saw Yuta being approached by a beautiful girl with an hourglass figure and charmed the victim, and they both left the scene and that was it. The cop then provided the artist sketch and the passerby described the girl as sexy, sporting twin pigtail hair, and is somewhat of a gyaru. The cop then showed the sketch of the possible culprit, and Ishimaru invited the two teens to come with him to the precinct as the computers might help identify the culprit.
"Looks like we got a breakthrough..."
"Yes...and we might learn some more...come with us, Naegi-kun..."
"Um...right."
"Lets head to the precinct...we got a computer expert...he might help us identify our suspect."
"Yes, that is a good idea."
"So do the sketch can really help us identify the culprit, Kirigiri-san?"
"We can only hope, Naegi-kun."
"Come on, you two."
"Yes, inspector."
Ishimaru then boarded the car and both Kirigiri and Naegi tagged along as they are intent on identifying the possible culprit who is responsible for murdering Yuta.
-x-
Much later, the scene shifts at the precinct where Inspector Ishimaru is there along with Kirigiri and Naegi at the computer expert is downloading the profiles of every teenage girl within Tokyo, and so far the results were negative but Kirigiri is patient enough to wait, though Naegi wondered if they would get a breakthrough and glanced at the sketch, wondering why someone would murder a younger boy after having sex with him, and for Naegi this does not make any sense, unless the culprit is under the influence of drugs. Kirigiri noticed his silence and asks him if he is okay.
"Naegi..."
"Um, yes...?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah...I'm okay."
"You seem...well-behaved..."
"Oh...sorry."
"Be patient. We will identify the culprit soon."
"Um...right."
The computer expert then called their attention, saying that he has found a match, and the scene shifts to the computer monitor where the photo of the female teenager is shown, and her feature matches the artist sketch that the passerby provided, and there Inspector Ishimaru asks him if he can identify the girl that was shown, and the expert nodded as he typed on the keyboard and there her name is shown on the monitor, and they all saw the name of the possible culprit, and so far both Inspector Ishimaru and Naegi are the only ones surprised when they saw her name.
"What the...?"
"That is the culprit...?"
"I don't believe it..."
"She's...the one...who killed Yuta...?"
"Damn...she is barely older than the victim...and a minor too..."
"Why would she...?"
"Easy, Naegi...we just got started...lets not lose our cool."
"O-okay."
The monitor showed the culprit's name, identifying her as Junko Enoshima. According to the database, Enoshima is 16 years old, and a very popular fashion model, adored by gyarus in Tokyo and Shibuya and her fame has taken Japan by storm with her extravagant tastes. The expert said that he has heard rumors that celebrities and young socialites tried to woo her but turned them down, and she is the object of fantasy by her male fans, and suggested that her charms may be the reason why Yuta fell for her, but Kirigiri, who took notes of what she saw, cautions him not to jump to conclusions or speculations, saying it would be best if they get the answer straight from her, which Inspector Ishimaru agreed.
"It would be best if we stop jumping to conclusion."
"Kirigiri?"
"Inspector...it would be wise if we find this Enoshima and brought her in for questioning. It would be wise if we get the answers straight from her."
"Yeah...that's what I was thinking..."
"And there we can determine if she is the culprit or not once we based her testimonies and her actions. That way we can spot anything suspicious that comes from her actions..."
"Yes, that might help us determine if she is involved or not."
"Can you expert determine where she lives?"
"Okay, I'll ask him..."
Naegi glanced at the monitor and saw the picture of Enoshima, and for a moment, he was somewhat attracted to her pretty looks, and yet he wondered if she is the culprit, wondering why she would do such a thing like murdering Yuta. His musing was interrupted by Kirigiri and asks him if he is smitten by Enoshima, which he denied it, despite the blush on his face.
"Naegi..."
"Yes?"
"Are you smitten by her...?"
"Huh?"
"You are blushing..."
"No...I'm not..."
"Seriously...?"
"Yeah...really!"
By then Inspector Ishimaru suggested that they find Enoshima and invite her for questioning so as to get the answers from her and then use police procedure as means to determine whether she would be considered a suspect or not, which Kirigiri agreed, and as the police began to work on the case, Naegi braces himself as he is about to confront a popular fashion model and gyaru who may or may not be the culprit behind Yuta's murder.
