Chapter VI - Investigation

Tw(?): Somewhat detailed descriptions of violence

~Kokichis POV~

"Wow!"

"Saihara-Chan..."

"You are AMAZING!" I yelled.

I was sitting in my room, looking at the pre-recorded security footage from the previous night.

"I know I told him to kill someone if no one else did, but this is one hell of a plot twist!" I cheered, satisfied. I spun around in the chair I was sitting in only to look at the screen again.

"I'll have to talk to him later. Tell him how awesome that was to watch." I said, clicking through the footage.

"This is amazing! There's no way anyone else could pull something like that off!"

"This is going to be an amazing class trial."

~Kaedes POV~

"I suppose no matter how much of a pep talk I give myself I won't be able to get used to seeing dead body's..." I muttered looking down at the body in front of me.

"Amami..." I thought, crouching down to get a better look at his body.

There where evident wounds on his chest and some more minor ones on his arms and legs.

"I-It looks like they were made with a k-knife..." I heard Saihara mutter next to me.

"It's good to know that even I do miss something like have an amazing detective on my side." I thought, putting on a weak smile.

The green hair on the corpses head look as if it had been pulled on. There were about 3 big cuts on his chest and a stab wound around where his heart would be. Then to top it off there were around 5 cuts on each limb.

"This looks brutal..." I thought, lifting my hands in a praying position.

"Rest in peace Amami-kun." I whispered.

I put my hands down and looked over to Saihara who had moved to look around more at the surroundings.

We were currently in the library, the scene of the crime, or at least that's what it looks like.

"H-hey Akamatsu-San, come looks at this." The blue haired male said, turning to me.

"What is it?" I asked, walking over to where the male was standing. He was standing near a dark corner of the room.

Saihara-kun pointed to something on the ground then crouched down to presumably get a closer look at it.

I crouched down as well and looked at the area he had pointed at previously.

It seemed to be a mess of fallen hairs and ripped pieces of cloth that probably came from  some form of clothing.

"I-it seems like there was a s-struggle and the culprit tried to hide he evidence." Saihara stated, patting down the pile so everything as visable.

Huh?

What is this..?

How...

How did this get here..?

"Akamatsu-San?" I heard The blue haired male nest to me call my name.

"Huh?" I muttered, looking over to him.

"A-Are you okay? You looked like you just saw a ghost." He asked, reshuffling everything on the ground into a small pile.

"Oh, sorry! I'm fine, I just thought I saw something... weird..." I replied, giving him a quick smile for reassurance.

"A-alright." He said, smiling back at me, then turning around.

"Hm?" I hummed.

I saw him lift a hand over his mouth.

"S-sorry." He stuttered. It sounded like he was trying not to laugh.

"Why would he be laughing?" I thought.

"Whatever it is, I'm glad he's being happy even though times are tough right now." I smiled at that thought.

He put his hand back down and turned to face toward me again.

"L-let's continue the in investigation..." he stuttered out, getting up and walking back over to Amamis corpse.

I got up as well and follows him over.

"We're gonna bring this criminal to justice at the class trial!" I thought, getting ready to concentrate the hardest I had in a while.

"Wait. Why are we doing a trial? Wasn't the motive that the could graduate with out a trial?" I accidentally thought out loud.

"I-I don't know. F-for some reason monokuma said no one came up to him claiming to be the culprit." Saihara responded.

"That's odd." I said.

"Why wouldn't they take the easy route out if they murdered for that purpose?" I thought, continuing to closely look at the injury's on Amamis body.

"Or was there a different reason..?"

————————————

Me, Saihara and the other students had  gathered in front of a statue that monokuma said we should gather around.

Suddenly the statue changed into and elevator.

I head a couple "wows" and "woahs". I was somewhat impressed myself.

We all got into the elevator and it started going down.

"Welcome to our prized trial grounds!" I heard monokuma yelled as the elevator stopped and the door opened.

There were sixteen stands in the room. One was hosting a frame which had a picture of Amani in it with a red X drawn on it.

"I suppose that's where Amani-Kun would've stood..." I thought, walking up to one of the stands. The others did the same so each stand was occupied.

Monokuma went over a review of what a class trail is and the first class trial begun.

"I will bring the criminal to justice."
