Inside the crime scene...
So, this is the actual scene of the crime...Shingo said warily.
Alright, you two. Izuru said coldly I want you to investigate the entire place, find anything that could be useful for our investigation. Izuru said authoritatively.
What about you? Dia asks curiously.
Well, I'll try to examine the body. Luckily, he was still here. Izuru said coldly.
Alright, we'll handle the investigation of the area. Dia said confidently.
Dia and Shingo started investigating.
Let's see, what do we have here? Izuru said curiously.
"There's marks in his arms, this mean that the victim tried to defend himself from the assailant. The stabs did hit some of his internal organs, indicating that the assailant really has some grudge with this man. By this, we've successfully narrowed down the suspect list." Izuru taught to himself.
Izuru, have you found something? Shingo asks curiously.
Sh! Call me Izu whenever we're in a scene of the crime! Izuru said authoritatively Remember, right now I am Izu Moro. Izuru said coldly.
Oh, right...I forgot about that aspect. Shingo said warily Anyways, Izu have you found something? Shingo asks curiously.
Well, call the squirrel here first could you? Izuru asks sarcastically.
Uhm, there's no need...Shingo said warily.
Shingo gestures Izuru to look behind him.
Izuru looks behind him and saw yet again Dia's irritated face.
Oh, your there...HAHA...HA..HA..Izuru said hesitantly.
Yes, I am here. Dia said coldly Remember, you are Izu Moro the intern right now...So, show some respect to your superior. Dia said sarcastically yet threateningly.
Alright then...Madame Squirrel! Izuru said arrogantly.
What did you say? Dia said coldly.
Oh, a deaf squirrel! An even rarer breed! Izuru said sarcastically.
SHUT THE HELL UP! Dia said, infuriated.
Hey, keep it down now! We're on a case right now. Shingo said warily.
Dia just lets out a sigh of defeat.
So, what did you find out? Dia asks coldly.
My initial hypothesis of the culprit being someone who holds a grunge against the victim has been soldified. Back then, my only basis is the number of stabs reported by Shingo...But now that I have seen it for myself well I am confident to say now that this is a premeditated murder. Izuru said coldly.
What makes you so sure of it? Shingo asks curiously.
The signs of struggles and the degree of the stab wounds right? Some of them hits directly to the internal organs. Dia said confidently.
You're surprisingly smart for a squirrel, huh? Not bad at all! Izuru said sarcastically.
Dia lets out a sigh of defeat.
Could you just shut the fuck up for a moment and focus? Dia said coldly.
Right, of course! Izuru said hesitantly.
Anyways, how about you? Did you managed to find something, Shingo? Dia asks curiously.
Well, there's just a lot of broken glasses in that corner. That indicates that the victim have tried to defend himself! Shingo said confidently.
I see, I knew it. Izuru said coldly Have you also found some traces of blood in there, Shingo? Izuru asks expectantly.
Yes, I've seen some but it seems like the culprit likely mopped it to cover up their involvement. Shingo said warily.
I knew it, the first stab most likely occured in that space and their fight. Izuru said coldly.
Well, about my findings. I've found nothing in the corner that I've investigated. Dia said coldly.
That just further solidifies that the fight and the first stab has occurred in the space that Shingo investigated. Izuru said coldly The questions that is left unanswered right now is... First, how exactly did the crime happen? Second, who is the culprit behind this? That's the only things that we need to solve and it's case closed! Izuru said confidently.
How about the motive? Shingo asks curiously.
Well, you are not attentive enough, buddy! Izuru said sarcastically I've just said earlier that the culprit most likely has a grudge against the victim, what else could be the possible motive in this kind of cases? Izuru asks expectantly.
Vengeance. Shingo said warily.
Good, smart thinking! Izuru said sarcastically I am glad that the both of you got it already. Izuru said appreciatively.
Let's investigate further in order to solve the unanswered questions then. Shingo said enthusiastically.
No need, we have already stumbled ourselves in a crucial clue. Izuru said coldly.
What do you mean? Dia asks curiously.
Izuru moves the right arm of the deceased to the side.
We have a code waiting to be solved here. Izuru said confidently.
How did you even managed find this? Shingo asks curiously.
The first number "3" was completely visible because the arm failed to cover it up, if you just observed your surroundings pretty well... you'll spot this kinds of things too. Izuru said enthusiastically That's the significance of observation in solving a crime is to guide your reasoning in either the wrong or the right way, it's a gamble where luck must always be by your side. Some are obvious, some are not. But, remember even the smallest clues has its own significance in the crime if you have seen this close in the crimse scene itself. That's why observation skills are one of the very factors that makes a great detective great! Izuru said coldly.
Absolutely, thank you for your guidance! You'll guide us while we improve our observations, right? Shingo said enthusiastically.
Of course, it's my duty as your mentor after all. Izuru said coldly.
"I am amazed by his capabilities, he's so fucking annoying because of his constant nonsense blabbering and his arrogant nature. But, I can't deny it for myself that he is indeed a great detective...Seems like listening to Commissioner Hasegawa isn't a bad choice after all, I guess...that through this man, our improvement is guaranteed." Dia taught to herself.
Anyways, let's look at this code first. Dia said coldly.
32101416, what does that even mean? Shingo asks curiously.
I don't know yet but I am pretty sure that this code we'll lead us way closer to our success for solving the case. Dia said coldly.
I didn't know that squirrels are this smart, Asahina is surprisingly right! Izuru said sarcastically.
Could you stop your nonsense blabbering and jjust focus for a moment?! Dia said irritatingly.
Hey, calm down! Shingo said warily.
Anyways, I've just said the significance of observation earlier...and you really have to hone it! Izuru said sarcastically.
What's with you now? Dia said intimidatingly.
Well, if you are going to look at this carefully...there seems to be some spaces that sets apart the numbers from each other. Look, there's a small space before it moved in the next number. Izuru said coldly.
What if that was just how it really was? Well, the person is dying how could he even write something perfectly? Shingo asks curiously.
Right, if you look at it carefully...it really seems like they are apart. Dia said calmly.
That's unlikely, Shingo. Izuru said coldly.
How could you say so? Isn't ruling out possibilities will definitely bring a detective in their own downfall. Dia said coldly.
Well, that might be right...unless, things are already obvious. Izuru said coldly.
What do you mean obvious? Dia asks expectantly.
Well, given our environment right now... we're in a Chemistry Research Facility, right? Based on that fact alone, you can infer that this code isn't wringly written or arranged. This is clearly a code based on the periodic table of elements if you look at it's placement. Izuru said coldly.
Izuru- I mean, Izu is right. It seems like it to me too, Dia. Shingo said calmly.
See, even your partner is agreeing! Smart choice, buddy! Izuru said enthusiastically.
Damn right! Shingo said enthusiastically.
They gave each other a high five.
Fine! I admit that it looked like it when you look at it carefully! So, stop being such children! Dia said coldly.
Yes, Ma'am. They both said in unison.
Now then, let's try to crack down the code here. Izuru said coldly.
How could we even crack this down without an periodic table of elements? Dia asks curiously.
That's right, we'll have a hard time doing that! Shingo said warily.
This is why you should really hone your skills and start studying things again! Izuru said irritatinglyAre you just going to give uo because we lack something that will help us solve the problem? Izuru said coldly Then, I might have misjudged you both... you're as incompetent as the others. Izuru said coldly.
What could we even offer?! Dia said irritatingly.
Be resourceful for once could you? Izuru said coldly.
Izuru lets out a sigh of defeat.
Fine, lucky for you that you have me here. Izuru said confidently 32, in the periodic table of elements it's the atomic number for Germanium...the symbol is (Ge). Izuru said coldly.
The 10 one will definitely the Neon, right? (Ne) Dia said calmly.
Seems like you have a brain inside that skull after all. Izuru said coldly.
Dia just lets out a sigh.
Number 14 is Silicon! (Si) Shingo said warily.
That's right, buddy. Izuru said coldly.
And as for the 16 it's definitely going to be Sulfur, (S). Izuru said coldly.
So, in conclusion...we have Ge Ne Si S...GENESIS. Izuru said coldly.
Genesis? Dia said curiously.
In bible, Genesis means "The beginning" or in some context "The first" that's most likely it. Shingo said confidently.
Then, my initial hypothesis of someone close to the victim is also solidified after this crucial revelation. Izuru said enthusiastically.
This gets more interesting! Shingo said enthusiastically.
May I asks why, Izu? Dia said curiously.
Anyways, you two. Izuru said warily.
What is it now? Dia asks sarcastically.
I just want to say sorry for yelling earlier. I don't know if I should really be doing this kind of shit, but...I just feel like I should. That's all, like hell I care if you forgive me or not. Izuru said sarcastically, blushing.
You look like a shrimp right you know? Dia said sarcastically, letting out a laugh.
This is the first tiem that I saw her openly laugh. Shingo said enthusiastically Don't worry, I get why you reacted that way earlier... it's our fault too! And you know what? That was just her way of saying "I forgive you". Shingo said enthusiastically.
I am glad. Izuru said calmly.
Izuru clears his throat.
Anyways, we're definitely closing in! We have a case to solve, let's focus on it for now. Izuru said coldly.
