Chapter Three
"What's the motive for Mr. Moses dying, un?" Deidera asked sucking on a lollipop while looking at the crime board.
"ME said Mr. Moses had bruises so he probably tried to rape Jane Doe or tried to hurt her. Probably when he shot her in the side since it's a perfect place to get shot if you don't want a gun to be see. She was probably being held against her will." I answered. "And where did you get the lollipop?"
"Tobi gave it to me, yeah."
"Of course he did. From what the ME says Mr. Moses was killed by three bullets in a tight pattern. Jane Doe was probably an expert marksman although that's not much of a compliment since they were inches apart in the car.."
"But why kill each other there? I'm pretty sure there's a cleaner way to rape a woman than a car that anyone can see into and hear the calls for distress. Mr. Moses wasn't even from the Konoha district and I doubt Jane Doe was, yeah." The phone rang. Deidera picked it up allowing me to concentrate. "Yeah?... I see... Okay, thanks, un." He hung up. "Sakura says Jane Doe was definitely not raped and while her clothes were impeccable she found something in Jane Doe's shoe."
"There goes that avenue then." I murmured my jacket on my desk. "Unless they were probably thieves."
"But no one reported anything missing, yeah." I had to give it to the brat on that one. No one reported anything missing and neither Moses nor Jane Doe had anything on them that looked rich. "And we have no leads on the other shooter so we don't know if they took something from the others."
"We're going to need to talk to the homeowners one on one if we're going to find any answers." I grumbled. I hated being in the Konoha district. Everyone was too damn nice for their own good. "Lets go before Tobi catches us."
"With you there, un."
"DEIDERA-SEMPAI!" Tobi shouted as he came around the corner. I winced before glaring at the loud idiot. Deidera looked like death warmed over as Tobi tackled him. "TOBI FOUND SOMETHING IN THE PHONE SAKURA-CHAN FOUND AFTER HE UNLOCKED IT! SEE TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!"
"And if you... Want to stay... A good boy you'll... Give us the phone, un!" Deidera grunted. Tobi merely held out the phone to me.
"Tobi did not find any fingerprints on the phone but he did find pictures and phone numbers." I grabbed the phone looking at the back ground. Jane Doe was smiling with her right arm around another girl who looked remarkably like her with a blond male under her left arm. They all wore black clothes with various styles. In front of them sat a red haired male with purple eyes. On his left was another red haired girl with glasses and on the other side was a dark haired male who looked on with amusement hidden in his eyes. That one male looked familiar but why and how evaded me at the moment.
I clicked the pictures but that was the only one on the phone's memory. Looking through the contacts was the same way. Jane Doe must have memorized her numbers. When I clicked on the call history there was only one number listed.
"Tobi did you run this number?" I asked showing the idiot the number.
"Tobi only got a generic voice mail with no name. When Tobi tried to run the number down he only got an address somewhere in the Iwagakure district."
"What, yeah? And GET OFF!" Deidera yelled. Tobi fell backward before flipping back to his feet with a cheer.
"Tobi found this." He handed me an address. "It's called Circle, it's a club."
"I know where this is, un." Deidera said grabbing the address from me. "Cops aren't allowed there."
"It's the only lead we have." I snapped before smirking. "And we're not cops. We're detectives."
"And Sakura?" Deidera asked. "What about Jane Doe's fingerprints, un?"
"If Tobi didn't find any then she won't have any fingerprints." I snapped. "Lets go see what Sakura found then we'll head to Iwa."
"AWW, TOBI NEVER GET'S TO GO DANCING!"
"Yo Sakura, un!" Deidera called. Sakura still looked gray but it wasn't so dramatic anymore.
"What did you find?" I asked cutting to the chase. Sakura got it, probably not wanting to be around me any more than necessary.
"This," She held up a clear circular case. Inside was a white stone that glittered. "Is a diamond. It was in Jane Doe's shoe and came out when I took them off."
"The hell. Aren't diamonds that big in jewelry stores? Or jewelry in general, yeah?" Sakura nodded grimly.
"Yep. I can't trace this diamond. It's in the popular Princess cut with 10 karats but there's no identifying signatures that tells me who cut it. I'll have to send it to a specialist."
"You're an expert on gems, yeah?" Sakura shook her head.
"A friend of mine knows her jewels and she pointed them out to me a while back when she stayed with me."
"Anything on her identity?" I asked.
"Yes and no. I couldn't run her fingerprints but we did run her dental records and still came up with nothing. So I had a picture taken of her and ran it through all the databases. I found a hit." Sakura went to her computer and started typing. "Here it is." She turned the monitor to us to show our Jane Doe.
"Anna? Where's her last name, un?"
"No family name as far as I found. She told the cops she was an orphan and didn't have one so they let it slide." I nodded.
"Good work. We have a name and a record for assault." Sakura nodded.
"We'd better get going then. We need to detect, yeah." Deidera smiled making Sakura roll her eyes.
"Good luck."
"Alright brat?" I asked as Deidera fidgeted once again.
"Not really. Circle isn't exactly exclusive but it's also not open to the public. Only thieves, murderers, and gangs hang out here. It's neutral territory, un."
"I thought neutral territory was the block Akatsuki was on." I muttered seeing the long line of people waiting to get in. A fight broke out somewhere towards the middle making the bouncer intervene and kicking the fighting party out of the line.
"Not here. It's owned by Orochimaru last I heard, yeah."
"Why would anyone go to one of his clubs?" I asked disgusted. He'd been a good detective before going off the deep end and abusing his doctor's license five years ago.
"It's actually pretty good. Kakuzu and Hidan spend a lot of time here undercover, yeah." I snorted.
"That should tell you what kind of place it is." Deidera and I sat in silence for an hour before I grabbed the binoculars.
"What, un?" I didn't answer as my attention was on a woman with long black hair in leather pants and jacket. She was coming out of the club with a smirk that was all too familiar. "Danna?"
"It's one of the women from Jane Doe's phone."
"Do we follow her, yeah?" I didn't answer as she reached the side of the road we were parked on. A large man was following behind her. We watched as he grabbed her arm and slammed her into the wall. I almost got out of the car but hesitated as he leaned in. They talked before she moved her leg. The woman brought her leg up and kicked the man's stomach. He released the woman but she moved forward and punched him again in the stomach before kicking his balls. She finished him off with a roundhouse kick to the head when he fell to his knees.
"Nevermind, un." She knelt down and searched him before pulling out a wallet and phone. She then got up and started walking away.
"Let's go brat."
