Back in the police building, Dell Honne sat in the investigation room, where he was questioned about his sister's death by police officer Meiko Sakine.
"So I take it you were given custody of your deceased sister Haku Yowane's child, Neru Akita?"
"Yes."
"You do not know who murdered her, or who was there to witness her death and robbery besides the child?"
"Neru tells me Haku had told her to leave. So no, I don't even think Neru saw my sister die."
"So you do not know who murdered her."
"No."
"Do you know anyone who has been acting suspcious about this topic that could be a suspect?"
"No. I don't know of anyone who would have been so cold-hearted to have murdered my sister, my wonderful, kind, sweet sister. Nobody could ever be that cruel."
"I understand she was bullied as a child?"
"Yes."
"Thank you. You're done now," Officer Sakine shuffled her papers a bit before stopping her recording device. "You will be notified if you are chosen as a suspect, or anything else involving your sister's murder."
Detective Kagamine groaned and tugged at her hair. "Another robbery, this time with a homicide!" She swore a couple of times. "Haku Yowane had a child, too. A 7-year-old girl. I can't imagine what that kid's going through now."
Detective Shion glanced at both Detective Kagamine and Detective Yuzuki before speaking. "Honestly, I don't understand... Why Madam Aoki and Miss Yowane? What did they do to be wrecked like this? For all we know, maybe the one who robbed them and killed Miss Yowane could still be out there running around."
Detective Yuzuki looked at Detective Shion uncomfortably. "Remember how there was that silver hair on the crime scenes..? Maybe, maybe you don't think it could be the same shady character committing these crimes?"
Detective Kagamine suddenly slammed her hand down on the table. "You idiot, Yuzuki! Of course it's the same pschyco!" She then summed up the fact that indeed she had not thought of this herself by glaring daggers at the pigtailed detective, whom looked pleased with herself.
"Hey... wait a minute, Yukari, you're onto something. You don't think... maybe these could be connected to Hatsune's case?" Detective Shion questioned.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see," Detective Kagamine answered sourly.
Author's note: Haku Yowane and Dell Honne are supposedly half-siblings, so that's the reason I put Dell as Neru's uncle.
