This seems to be the place, Dia! Shingo said enthusiastically.
Right, you can come down now. Dia said coldly I'll just park the car somewhere, wait for me here. Dia said authoritatively.
Of course, just make sure to hurry up! Shingo said sarcastically.
Shingo comes out of the car.
I wonder if this person can really help us? Shingo said warily.
After a few minutes, Dia arrives.
Let's go and meet up with our mysterious person, right away. Dia said calmly.
Right, I am so excited to see him too! Shingo said enthusiastically.
They both entered the Apartment Complex and finds room 405.
Hey, I've found the place! Come back here! Dia said coldly.
Oh, is that it? Shingo said warily.
Room 405, this is it. Dia said calmly.
In the count of three, we'll knock together. Shingo said anxiously.
Alright, let's do this. Dia said anxiously.
1...2...3...
They both knock in unison.
After a few minutes, the door finally opened.
This is it, I am kinda nervous. Dia said anxiously.
Hm, another set of incompetent detectives sent by Hasegawa. Izuru said coldly, letting out a sigh.
Excuse me?! What did you just said? Dia said coldly.
Hey, calm down for a moment...I know that he was just being grumpy! Shingo whispered sarcastically.
Uhm, let us introduce ourselves first! Shingo said anxiously.
No need, Officer Shingo Miyano and Officer Dia Asahina. Izuru said confidently.
Dia and Shingo are completely surprised.
How? How did you know our name? Dia asks curiously.
Tags on your ties. Izuru said sarcastically.
And also how did you know that Commissioner Hasegawa send us here? Shingo asks expectantly.
Well, he have done that several times already and guess what? I refused! Why? Because, I hate incompetent detectives. Izuru said sarcastically.
This guy sure is smart but boy he has a sharp tongue, I want to fucking cut that tongue out! Shingo whispered sarcastically.
Sh, let's talk to him first. Dia whispered coldly.
So, I guess you've come here not just because you want some help with a case, right? Izuru said expectantly.
That's right, we have other reasons for coming here. Dia said calmly.
Perhaps, you want me to mentor you so you can hone your skills? Izuru asks curiously.
How did you know?! Shingo asks curiously.
Simple, what else can a rookie detective come here for? Well, first...you even consulted Hasegawa for help and he refuses and pinned me into it again...that means that you two are incompetent idiots that wants to become better...And guess what? I am not interested. Izuru said coldly.
I don't like the words that you are spouting. Dia said intimidatingly.
Well, Am I obligated to say the things that you've wanted? Izuru said sarcastically.
Damn you! You know what? Fine, let's get out of here! We won't get anything from this guy, Shingo. Dia said coldly.
Seems like it would be unlikely that we can even join the investigation of that case now! Shingo said, frustrated.
Shingo follows behind Dia.
"Did he say case?" Izuru taught to himself.
Hey, wait! Izuru said urgently.
Dia and Shingo stops on their tracks.
What is it now? Dia asks coldly.
Let's talk inside! Izuru said coldly.
Shingo and Dia looks at each other.
I guess we should really go inside. Dia said calmly, letting out a sigh.
Inside Izuru's Apartment...
Tell me about the case that you are talking about earlier, Shingo! Izuru said excitedly.
Why would we even do that? Dia asks coldly.
Stop being a killjoy for once could you? Izuru said coldly.
Say that again, I dare you. Dia said intimidatingly.
Alright, stop now you two! Shingo said hesitantly I'll tell him the specifics. Shingo said calmly.
Good, seems like you are more reasonable than this squirrel girl! Izuru said sarcastically.
Shut the fuck up! Dia said irritatingly Whatever, just tell him everything! Dia said, frustrated.
This is the first time that I've seen her that infuriated, you've really got into her nerves! Shingo whispered sarcastically.
I am just telling the truth that she looks like a squirrel! Izuru whispered back sarcastically.
Have you both forgotten that I am here? Dia said intimidatingly.
Uhm, right...Shingo said sarcastically.
Well, going back to the topic about the case! Izuru said enthusiastically.
Right, this is the specifics. Shingo clears his throat A murder case has occurred in the Chemistry Research Facility, we don't know any other details yet because we haven't been into the scene of the crime. The only things that we know is that the victim got stabbed 15 times and the murder weapon is a knife. Shingo said calmly.
Hm, basing on the information at hand... Let's see. Izuru said coldly Given the number of stabs that the victim has endured, most likely the killer is just inside the Facility. Perhaps, someone close to him or has a personal grudge against the victim. Izuru said coldly.
This guy, that's exactly what Inspector Asahina inferred. Shingo whispered to Dia with a surprised expression.
How could you say so? Dia asks curiously.
Easy, if it's just a normal assailant they could have just stabbed them 1-3 times or something like that.Izuru said sarcastically But, the thing is...they got stabbed 15 times, that just indicates that the person isn't just a normal assailant but someone who has a grudge or knows the victim pretty well. Izuru said coldly.
He deduces this far just by limited information already? Shingo whispered to Dia clearly surprised.
I see...Now, I know why Commissioner Hasegawa was holding you with high regards. Dia said calmly Even though I hate your constant arrogance and nonsense blabbering...Dia and Shingo bows politely to Izuru Please, be our mentor! They said in unison.
A warm smile formed in Izuru's face.
Let me just ask you two a question. Izuru said coldly.
Ask away. Dia said expectantly.
Are you guys competent enough for this kind of work? Izuru asks expectantly.
Yes, we certainly are! They said in unison.
In that case, let's go and have a look in the scene of the crime. Izuru said enthusiastically.
Does that mean...Shingo said hesitantly.
This is why the likes of the two of you are bound to be unsuccessful, you are too slow to process information...dumbasses! Izuru said sarcastically.
Say that again and I'll make sure that your tongue will be cut off inside your mouth swiftly. Dia said coldly.
I am accepting your offer to become your mentor and help you in your current case. But, I just have one condition. Izuru said coldly.
What was that? Dia asks curiously.
I want you both to cover your mouths. Izuru said coldly.
Cover our mouths? What do you mean? Shingo said warily.
I want you to keep your mouths close about my involvement in this case and my position as your mentor. Izuru said coldly.
Why? Shingo asks curiously.
Alright, We're accepting your condition. Dia said confidently.
Very good, seems like you are reasonable too...well, sort of. Izuru said sarcastically.
What does that even mean?! What are you trying to imply?! Dia said clearly enraged.
Hey, calm down! Shingo said warily.
Let's go, on to the crime scene! Izuru said enthusiastically.
Yes! They both said in unison.
"Why did he even ask us to keep our mouths silent about his involvement? When it will definitely build up some reputation for him and eventually become a well respected detective...I don't get it." Shingo taught to himself.
"I know that what I am doing is risky...But, this for once in my life again....I am going to be able to handle a case again, I won't be contented to be a bystander anymore. I'll definitely be guiding this two into their way for success all while I am also having the time of my life solving this cases. In short, I'll use this two as camouflage in order to mask my involvement in the cases...I know that the "Tantei Gakuen" executives are watchign my activities elsewhere. But, this is my only chance to work as a detective again...the thing that gives color to my life! I won't let this chance go anymore. I am sick of being bound in fear anymore, I am going to cross those boundaries now." Izuru taught to himself.
