BANG!
BANG!
The gun fired again and the mysterious person fled.
Two hours later that day, when school was over:
Sanada quickly called Jirou, "There has been a murder at Rikkaidai Junior High, call the others."
"Yes, sir!" Jirou replied as he lost his sleepiness and speedily called the others. "Fuji! Get your group and get over to Rikkaidai, there's been a murder."
"I'll be there as soon as possible," Fuji answered seriously. "Make sure you tell the others that I don't contact."
"Okay, on it, wait! Who are you calling?"
"Let's see, I'll call the people in Seigaku, and I believe Rikkaidai already knows."
"I'll take care of the Hyotei people and the others, good luck on the case!"
And with that, the secretary hung up and ran to the tennis clubroom where he found most of the tennis team.
"Guys! There's been a murder at Rikkaidai!" Jirou panted.
"Alright, we're all going to headquarters first," Atobe stood up. "And then Shishido and Yuushi, you two are going to the scene to investigate."
"Sure," the boys replied.
"Mukahi, you're going to go to interview students and to calm them down."
"YES SIR!" the redhead bounced up and down.
"Ootori, you stay at the base with Hiyoshi and Jirou, and you need to wait for any information that they send."
"Yes, captain," Ootori obeyed the command.
"Good, now everyone, I have a limo waiting outside to take is to our headquarters," Atobe concluded.
"Yes sir!" the group replied and ran to the limo with Atobe following.
"Hey, we have a case," Fuji announced to the group in front of him.
"What happened?" Tezuka inquired.
"Someone was murdered at Rikkaidai," Fuji replied grimly.
"That's all you know?" Rika asked.
"Yanagi will fill us in with the details," the brown haired boy answered.
"So let's go!" Eiji jumped up excitedly.
"Move aside," Rin said as she pushed through the crowd that surrounded the dead body followed by Sanada, Marui, Niou, Yanagi, and Kirihara.
"Excuse me, no students beyond this point!" A teacher stated to the Rikkai regulars that were getting very close to the body.
"It's okay, we're from the C.S.I," Rin reassured the teacher that was guarding the dead body as she, Yanagi, and Sanada showed their badges.
"Oh, I'm sorry. What about them?" The teacher pointed towards Marui, Niou, and Kirihara who were staring at the dead body.
"They're with us too. Unfortunately," Rin muttered the last part.
"EWWWW!" Kirihara finally spoke.
"Oh come on, it's not like you've never seen a dead body before! Honestly, you're so childish!" Rin shook her head.
"Did I miss anything?" Yagyuu asked as he walked up to Sanada who nodded that he was also part of the C.S.I to the teacher.
"Not yet," Niou said as he watched Yanagi take notes about the position of the body and where the blood was.
"Good you're here, Yagyuu. Take some pictures now and then you can take more when the rest of us come," Yanagi glanced up and saw the gentleman.
"Alright," Yagyuu replied and took out his camera.
"Sanada, do you want me to start examining the body now or wait till Fuji gets here?" Rin turned to the Head Chief.
"I believe it would be best to wait," Sanada confirmed.
"Where's Marui?" Niou asked as he looked at the crowd that was murmuring loudly. "I think he needs to calm them down."
"He's over there comforting the other guy," Kirihara told his sempai.
"It's okay, you're going to be fine," Marui soothed the trembling boy.
"Yeah, listen to him. Our doctor is excellent, she'll take the bullet out and then we'll send you to the hospital," Rin kneeled down so that she was eye level with the injured and non-injured boy.
"H-hi! I'm T-Terry," the boy stuttered at the sight of the black haired girl.
"I'm Rin, now we need some answers from you," Rin smiled.
"S-sure," the boy replied staring at Rin.
"Did you see who shot you?" Marui asked slightly disgusted at his reaction when he saw Rin.
"Yes, but…" Terry trailed off.
"But what?" Rin urged.
"He was wearing a ski mask, so I didn't see his face," Terry admitted.
"Was he wearing a school uniform?" Marui inquired.
"No, but he was wearing the uniform scarf" the boy said as he clutched his arm harder.
"Did you see him shoot the other man?"
"No."
"So where was he exactly when you came?"
"He was standing over the dead body and the gun, still smoking, was in his left hand. Then he glanced up and saw me, that's when…" Terry trailed off.
"He shot you," Marui and Rin completed in unison.
"Rin, we're going to start the examination now," Fuji motioned for Rin to come over to where he and the rest of the main investigators were.
"I'll be right over, Fuji, Marui reassure our friend here that he's going to be okay," Rin got up.
"Let me see your arm," Tohru said as she kneeled down besides the injured boy.
"It's okay, she's a medical specialist," Marui said as he saw Terry hesitate.
Over by the body all the investigators were doing there best to get all the evidence that was there.
"Fuji, there's a bloody footprint over here that leads into that hall," Yagyuu said as he took a picture.
"There's about six of them and then they suddenly disappear," Fuji observed as went over to the purple haired boy then turned to the rest of the team. "What else did you find?"
"Well, his name was Jonny McNeil, American no doubt," Rin read off from his ID. "34 years old, and that's pretty much it."
"No money was stolen from his wallet, and all his Credit and Debit cards are in here. But his Jex Jewelry Store card was stolen." Shishido reported.
"One bullet, right in the chest," Rika added. "And there's a shoe print on his chest."
"Looks like the one that Yagyuu found," Yuushi identified.
"I've talked to the principal, and he said that some of the diamonds that he brought to display, have been stolen," Yanagi walked up to Fuji.
"Shishido, Rin, go through that hall and see if you can find anything else," Fuji pointed to the hallway that the shoeprints pointed.
"Yes sir!" they replied and walked into the hallway.
"And I'm done," Tohru said as she finished wrapping Terry's arm.
"Thanks," Terry replied as he looked at his arm.
"Okay, come with me," Marui took the boy to the ambulance.
"What do you think?" The girl held up the bullet for Kirihara and Niou to see.
"It's a .21 mm bullet," Niou observed as he bent down to see.
"It's the model bullet that the Stantler Gun comes with when you buy it," Kirihara added.
"More like pistol, it's pretty small," Niou corrected and got up. "Only one store sells that gun and it's in Tokyo. We'll go check it out."
So the two weapon specialists got Fuji's permission and took one of the black convertibles to go there.
"Nothing so far! Not even a drop of blood!" Shishido complained.
"Be patient we'll find something, hopefully," Rin replied as she looked around. "Look there's the shoe!"
True enough the shoe was thrown under the water fountain. Blood was dried on the sole and then there was a clean one next to it.
Rin walked over and examined it, while Shishido watched. Suddenly a figure ran past them.
"Stop! We have guns!" Shishido said as he pointed his gun at the figure that had slowed to a halt.
"I didn't do it!" Mukahi put his hands up. "I just had to go to the bathroom!
"Mukahi, put your hands down you're embarrassing us!" Shishido put his gun away. "Now go do your business."
"Okay!" and the red head ran to the bathroom that was three feet away. "AW! MAN!"
"What?" the two others asked annoyed.
"It's closed for cleaning!" Mukahi whined.
"Use the girls one," Rin said casually, "we'll make sure no one comes or sees."
And so Mukahi went into the girl's bathroom and screamed.
"WHAT HAPPENED!" the other two poked their heads in to see.
"It's a gun!" Mukahi pointed at the gun.
"DON'T TOUCH IT!" Shishido warned and then picked it up and placed it into a bag. "Now go do your business."
"I don't think I have to anymore," Mukahi replied.
"Ewwwww," the other two stared, but then Rin went back to the shoes and Shishido continued down the hall, Mukahi followed.
"Blood?" Shishido pondered as he saw blood dripping from a top locker.
"What?" Mukahi asked confused.
So Shishido hacked the combination and opened the locker to find a ski mask…with blood on it.
"BINGO!" the two boys said loudly.
"What did you find?" Fuji asked as he, Rin, Rika, Yuushi, and Yuuta ran over to the two boys.
"Our murderer," Shishido replied casually with a grin.
"Okay, good job, now we find out who's locker that is," Fuji smiled.
Rin was staring at the locker.
"But," she finally said.
"But what?" everyone turned around to look at her.
"That's my locker," she told them.
"You did it?" Mukahi was really confused.
"NO!" she replied angrily.
"I'm sorry but all evidence leads to you," Fuji said gently. He didn't think it was she who killed him but how could he prove it?
"The ski mask was in your locker," Yuushi said and he was feeling the same as Fuji. "And there is a scarf in it too."
"That's because I left it in there from last winter!" Rin retorted.
"And the gun was in the girls bathroom," Shishido added.
"I'm sorry," Fuji said. "Yuuta arrest her."
"What the heck!" Rin was surprised as Yuuta stepped forward and handcuffed her. "You're making a huge mistake!"
"We'll take you to headquarters, and you'll stay there until it's proved that you're innocent or guilty," Rika said regretfully.
"Fine," Rin grumbled because she knew that she couldn't argue with the commander.
So Yuuta led her to his awesome police car.
"What is Yuuta doing?" Eiji asked as he walked over to Fuji.
Fuji explained what they had found.
"But it wasn't her!" Marui and Eiji protested.
"Can you prove that?" Fuji demanded.
Marui and Eiji shook their heads no.
"I don't want it to be her either, but there is nothing I can do for now," Fuji replied.
