"So, the head of the family died last year the exact same way?" Kitty asked, seeing a outline of a man that was laid out, showing us where the body was at his own home. He was in the back yard, not far from the shed.
"Correct, the family said that it was spontaneous combustion." The detective said, with me looking at her.
"Its not unheard of, but I don't think that's what caused it." I said, confusing her. "Spontaneous combustion burns the victim from the inside out, this was like he was doused with gasoline and set on fire." I said, looking back at the body.
"Where's the doctor who was over looking Yusho?" Kitty asked, with the detective turning around and walking away, with us following her.
As we walked into the house, I started doing cartwheels as I followed them. Coming to a stop, I watched as they opened the doors while I was doing a hand stand. They walked in while I flipped onto my feet and walked in, with us kneeling next to the man. "He suffered multiple burns, scrapes and bruises." The detective said, with me frowning at that.
'Scrapes and bruises, it sounds like he was attacked.' I thought, taking out a small toy and tossing it into the air, already board.
"How long will the recovery be?" Kitty asked, with the detective looking at us.
"A couple of weeks, maybe longer, but he will recover." She informed, then looked at me. "What's on your mind?" She asked, with me pointing at myself as the toy landed on my head.
"There's a lot of things on my mind." I said, pointing to the toy. "Just like the fact that this doesn't add up." I said, confusing her. "He's not breathing." I said, pointing at the Doctor, with them looking at him and checking for a pulse, with them finding none. "Not only that, but I don't see a life force from them, even when dead the human body possesses it for about three hours before vanishing. He just doesn't have one." I said, with me grabbing his hand and pinching his fingers.
"You don't think that he's been dead for longer than that, do you?" Kitty asked, looking at me.
"No, because the fire happened an hour and a half ago." I said, looking at the palm of the hand. I poked my hand into his flesh without them realizing it, with me figuring it out. "He's alive, but I'm going to need a report of what happened last year." I said, with us standing up and following the detective.
Later that night
'So that's what happened.' I thought, laying on the ground with the news paper in hand while other reports of the incident were scattered around me. The head of the house was a genius who built the worlds best AI unit, but then there was a meteor that landed not far from his house a few weeks before his death. His entire shed went up in an explosion. Then his death came a week after, with the newly bought shed going up in an explosion as well.
"Its the same thing that happened earlier." Kitty said, tossing the report aside.
"Sorry, but you're wrong." I said, looking at Kitty. "Yonsho blew up with his shed, while his son, Yusho, was set aflame. This is a murder." I said, sitting up and looking at her. "We need to meet the family." I said, with her jumping up and following me.
The next day
Walking in front of the family, a mother without a husband and one less son, a daughter with no father and one less brother and two sons with no father and one less brother. "TALK, I KNOW THAT YOU ALL HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS MURDER!?" I yelled, scaring all of them, until Kitty hit me upside the head.
"What he means to say, is that he knows that the family is responsible for the death of Yusho." Kitty said, looking at the mother. "You each have a motive. The mother gets money, the daughter... What was her deal again?" She asked, looking at me, with me looking at her.
"Oh, shes innocent, she has nothing against Yusho." I informed, with her nodding while the daughter sighed.
"Ok, the oldest brother would of became the head of the family, while the youngest would of gotten the company." Kitty finished, with them looking at the other, with me hearing something from the wall but didn't react to it.
"I say, the mother did it!?" I yelled, getting into the mothers face, with everyone gasping. "She's the only one who had something against the father as well, admit it, tell me the truth!?" I yelled, with Kitty hitting me again. "If not her, then the brothers, they could of been working together, plotting the same murder, with them getting everything and kicking the others out for there own gain!" I said, with me hearing something from the wall again. 'There!' I thought, running up to the wall and punching it, with everyone freaking out.
Removing my fist, it reviled a camera was behind the wall, with everyone standing up. "Who has access to the camera?" Kitty asked as she looked at me, with me smirking at her.
"Why, only two." I said, looking at Kitty. "Yusho and his father, Yonsho." I informed, with them gasping. "I knew it wasn't any of you, so let me explain." I said, walking out of the room, with all of them following me. "The mother knew about this, but kept her mouth shut. What she didn't know, was the full story." I said, with us entering the doctors room. "He's not a doctor, but a mechanic, isn't that right?" I asked, with me looking at the mother.
"Yes, but how did you know?" She asked, confused.
"The texture of his hands, they are too rough too be a doctors, where a doctors are supposed to be soft and steady." I said, crossing my arms. "What you didn't know, was that he wasn't a human, but a machine." I said, shocking everyone.
"You cant be serious!?" Kitty yelled, with me looking at her.
"Remember what I said, there was no life force in him. During that time, I stabbed my finger into his hand, and felt wires and metal. I had to figure out what the previous head of the family was capable of, so I did my research while you actually tried to solve the crime." I said, with Kitty crossing her arms, not happy with me as I started walking away.
"Then, what happened to my brother?" The daughter asked as we walked outside and over to the body outline.
"Your brother wasn't killed, my guess was that the body belonged to someone who wanted secrets of some kind, maybe even a common thief." I said, with us walking over to the shed and entering it. "Then there is this shed. One year ago, there was a meteor that crashed here, then one week later after you got a replacement, the death of Yonsho happens." I said, looking at them.
"Yes, what of it?" The mother asked, crossing her arms.
"What happened to the meteor?" I asked, with her thinking about it. "There was no indication that it was removed, and there for, I don't think it was a meteor." I said, opening the shed doors and walking in with the family. "What I think hit, was a ship of some kind." I said, looking at the camera, giving it a wave. "Isn't that right, Yonsho?" I asked, with the floor opening up, showing us an elevator. Walking onto it, we were lowered, with everyone looking shocked.
"Seriously, how?" Kitty asked, with me looking at her.
"I saw two souls down here the say we came, I just didn't know what to look for to get down here." I said, with her face palming.
The elevator came to a stop, showing us an old man. "Well done, you really are a great detective." He said, clapping while I saw a rock with some strange egg behind him.
"There never was a Yusho, was there?" I asked, with him shacking his head.
"It was my way of taking over everything, having adopted him into our family." He said, with me crossing my arms.
"While interesting, I'm placing you under arrest." Kitty said, pulling out some cuffs, with him flipping a switch. Everything metal was flung to the side wall, along with me.
"What do you have that's metal?" Kitty asked, with me grinning at her.
"Oh, just something that wont bother anyone until I see fit." I said with a laugh. "Well, get him!" I said, with her running forward and tackling him, where she then phased him through the ground, stopping at his head. She came out of the ground and dusted her hands off.
"Looks like you're grounded." Kitty said, holding up the switch and flipping it, with me hitting the ground.
Skipping over to the Egg thing, I picked it up and examined it. "Wonder what it is?" I asked myself, with Kitty taking it away.
"Something that you don't need to touch, you might kill it!" She yelled, with me shrugging.
"Or it might kill us." I said, with her frowning, with us hearing a cracking sound. Looking at the egg, we watched as it hatched, with our eyes widening as it was a baby dragon of sorts, purple, and looking dead at Kitty. "Dragon!" I said, excited at finally seeing one.
It looked at me and jumped, with it biting my neck, with me closing my mouth by its pure strength. Gritting my teeth, I watched Kitty grab it and phase it through me. "Well, he's cute!" Kitty said, with it stopping and wrapping around her neck and closing its eyes. "I think I'll call it... Lockheed." She said, with me crossing my arms. "What, it looks like the dragon I told in my stories." I said, with me rolling my eyes.
"You're feeding it!" I said, with her cheering and following me to the elevator so we could get the cops to deal with them.
