Jasmine was brought back to her room, along with Swan who was to take care of her. Wells, meanwhile, returned to the conference room, along with the other six Dekarangers, to hear what it is that Hoji has to say to all this. Once Hoji was done talking, Wells made his opnion pretty clear to everyone.
"In other words... you created a monster."
"No, actually..." Hoji corrected him, "... In fact Jasmine who has subconsiously created..."
He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence, for Wells started to laugh at the sound of his defense. While he was still laughing, Wells continued, though his laugh faded away with every word he said: "No, no no no. Don't use some psychological bullshit you read in 'Psychology for dummies'! YOU created a monster!"
Hoji wanted to say something else, but Wells wouldn't let him: "She was scared when she first found out about her powers, but once she figured how to control it she was happy! Wasn't she?"
"Er..." Hoji knew the answer, but didn't immediately see the relevance of mentionning this, "Yes, but..."
"Then..." Wells continued, "why couldn't she try to figure out different ways to use it? Different capacities of her powers? More ways of helping people? Ever thought of that?"
"She was a nervous wreck when she..." Hoji defended himself.
But Wells interrupted: "And is she any better now? Had I not come between you people, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation! Or Marika wouldn't be in her room, still breathing! And had you let her develope herself, she'd not even be crying her eyes out! None of this would have happened if you hadn't decided to let her go through all that psychology nonsense!"
"Can't help it, partner," Ban started, "but he's right!"
"What was I supposed to do then?" Hoji asked, "Let her be, and risk that she'd go completely psycho?"
Wells obviously couldn't understand what Hoji tried to say now: "You were willing to exchange one risk for an even greater risk? You were willing to judge Marika for something she might be planning to do?"
"As a cop, I must..." Hoji began, but Wells wasn't listening anymore.
Wells cursed something in English before stating: "I thought 'A Clockwork Orange' was disturbing, but reality isn't any better is it.
That's when Hoji had enough of Wells's talk: "You know, you have quite a big mouth there, for someone who's been in jail once!"
Wells wasn't at all angry when Hoji stated that, but couldn't help wondering: "How's that even relevant to this?"
"How?" Hoji started, "I'll tell you how! You haven't been following any rules or regulations, which obviously lead you in prison once! Then you became a cop, but you don't seem to have changed much!"
"That's really unfair to bring that up!" Umeko interrupted. All the other dekas in the room agreed.
"Quite the contrary, Umeko!" Hoji corrected her, "Ever since he came here, he broke one rule after another, didn't follow any direct orders..."
"Enough!" Doggy seemed to have lost his patience with Hoji, "What he did so far has been of great help to the force!"
"Maybe!" Hoji couldn't be convinced otherwise, "Still, I don't think someone like him, who doesn't do his job as a cop, has any right to tell me what I should or shouldn't do!"
A smirk appeared on Wells face once Hoji was done: "So I'm not doing my job, according to you."
"Finally, you understand!" Hoji sounded relieved.
"Then it obviously didn't occur to you where I was all night?" Wells continued, "Like where was I when the base was attacked? Why didn't I return when someone told me it was attacked? The thought never occured to you as to where I've been the whole time?"
"Now that you mention it..." Hoji sounded more pleased, "Where were you the whole time?"
"Believe it or not, but I was doing some investigations." Wells replied, as he took his Lisence out of his pocket.
"What did you investigate?" Hoji asked, expecting to see Wells failing to answer.
"Thought you'd never ask." Wells answered, as he inserted his Lisence on Hoji's desk.
"Hey!" Hoji tried to stop him, "What's the big idea?"
Wells's Lisence started to project something. Everybody recognised the hanging seijin on the picture it projected.
"That's Wande Seijin Niwande!" Sen said.
"What's to investigate about him?" Hoji asked, "He killed himself!"
"Sure is what it looks like, isn't it?" Wells replied.
Everyone looked up, dropped their jaws and opened their eyes wide, as they always do.
"Okay, you guys need to do something about that face of yours!" Wells remarked.
"Why would it not be suicide?" Tetsu asked, "We asked the neighbours what happened, they said they heard a noise and..."
"Did they tell you what they heard exactly?" Wells asked Tetsu, and when the latter didn't answer, Wells continued, "They heard two people arguing, then they heard some things breaking, followed by a moment of silence. Then they heard some thuds, followed by somebody leaving!"
"That doesn't mean anything!" Hoji reasoned, "He could've killed himself after that somebody left!"
"That's a possibility." Wells exclaimed, as he showed some more things from the projection, "But there have been traces on his body of a struggle, same goes for all things broken in his appartment. There were some DNA traces found that weren't his. The sheet which was used for him to hang himself had his fingerprints, but they were found anywhere on the sheet to even indicate he made the knot. As for his neck, that should be starting to look blue because..."
Umeko interrupted him: "Please, Wells! I don't want to hear any medical details!"
Wells reconcidered what he was trying to say: "Anyway, when he was hung, he was allready dead!"
"No way!" Ban reacted to the news.
Wells took his Lisence out, and added: "Someone's responcible for his death. And it ain't the guy himself!"
He turned to Hoji and asked him: "How's that for someone who's not doing his job?"
Hoji fainted at that, to which Wells stated: "Someone needs to check that guy both mentally and physically!"
