Kenkyo's Apartment

"Ji-san!"

The sailor-clad girl hugged me as soon as I got to the police station.

*Oji-san = Uncle

"You'll be fine. Trust me, Kenkyo-chan."

I patted his shoulder lightly.

"But, I'll be staying the night here. I'm scared, Ji-san."

She whined, just like her mother used to. It's so exact that I feel like I'm talking to the Chibi version of Namira every time I talk to Kenkyo.

However, right now I am helpless. She's a suspect though I'm sure she wasn't the culprit. Although there is the blood of a cruel man like Daisuke in Kenkyo's veins, there is Namira's blood too. And the descendants of Namira are very unlikely to commit crimes.

In fact, I know that even though Kenkyo alias Nana grew up in the Takahashi family, the girl who has been turned into a woman by my son, doesn't know anything about the Takahashi family's other business. He only knew that his family had a herbal medicine business. Isn't that ridiculous?

"I'm scared, Ji-san." Kenkyo was still whining, it made me feel uncomfortable.

"Just last night, you don't have to be afraid. I'll investigate to get you out. Got it? Be a good boy. Yes? I'll treat you to ice cream later, how about it?"

I coaxed him while giving him a smile.

I saw him smile and nod.

"Smart kids."

I rubbed his head.

***

I returned to Kenkyo's apartment. Precisely the scene of the murder tragedy took place. She's the top roof of the apartment.

This is indeed a murder case, but somehow the perpetrator made the victim fall off the roof, making it look like he was committing suicide.

However, because Kenkyo is there, the culprit changes his plans, making Kenkyo the killer. I know the reason why the perpetrator did that, it's because he knows sooner or later, the police will find evidence that this case is not suicide, but murder.

Bolt.
