YOUR POV:

"I'm sorry but ordinary citizens can't pass this point. I'm going to have to ask for you two-"I sighed"happens every time." "You realize that by me not being in there,that corpse could be long gone right?" The officer tensed up"how do you-" "we're detectives. Get it now?" I asked as I crossed my arms as a familiar voice was heard. "What is taking that detective so long to arrive?" Kambe stepped out of the house,a hand through her hair. "Ah,Y/N and Ranpo!" She greets walking towards us. "Kambe!" Ranpo exclaims"are you here to investigate,Ranpo?" Kambe asks moving the police tape so the two of us can enter. "A great detective doesn't need to investigate. Have you forgotten?" The woman apologizes"my bad. Thank you for coming all the way from Yokohama to do this." "It was no problem. Let's just say you got me away from somebody who I wasn't growing to you fawn of." Ranpo admits"so Kambe,can you tell us the story of what happen?" She nods"I'd let the parents tell you,but their off being investigated as of right now." Ranpo crosses his arms"and why wouldn't I do that?" "We decided for this case it would be better to have someone else investigate the parents for their side of the story and such. I mean,the missing corpse is a much bigger deal than the parents." Ranpo doesn't reply. "But to answer your question Y/N...the parents of the victim-Kyoko Maru-returned home from a date night to find their daughter dead in the bathroom. When the parents saw the body and went to call the police,the body was supposedly still there. However,when we arrived the body was missing." Ranpo nods"and the bathroom?" Kambe tells us which door it was,and Ranpo headed for the door.

Ranpo opened the door,the smell of blood was strong. A bit to strong. "I'll let you do your work detective." Kambe says moving back to give the man some space. Ranpo takes out his glasses"this won't take long." He sets his glasses onto his face before opening his eyes,'activating' his ability. Moments later Ranpo smirks and turns around"she didn't kill herself." He concludes"really?" Kambe asked,slightly in shock. "Yep. It was a fake suicide." Ranpo walks into the hallway"so what's the story?" I asked as I grew more intrigued by the second. "Kyoko didn't kill herself,as I stated before. I'm not sure her motivation behind doing such a thing,but my guess is that it was school related. Anyway,her parents left and that gave her plenty of time to do what she needed. So,she headed to the party store and grabbed some fake blood and well...you can figure out the rest." Kambe was once again impressed by his 'ability' due to the lack of information in the room. "And Kyoko?" I asked as we followed Ranpo out of the house. "She ran away. It was simply a diversion." He concludes. "Now-"once outside,Ranpo places his hands onto his hips and spins around to Kambe. "Can I talk to the parents about this?" Kambe nods"o-of course,let me get someone to drive you." Kambe walks off as Ranpo slips off his glasses and puts them away. "She's always impressed." Ranpo sighs out"I mean,I know my ability is great but shouldn't people be used to it by now?" He asks shaking his head. "People can't get over your ability because you can figure out a crime scene with such little information that it's scary." "There was a lot of evidence in the room though." "You didn't even look around the house." "Didn't need to."

Kambe soon returns with another police officer. "He'll take you to the base." She says patting his arm"he's still a trainee. So be ginger with him." She teases as Ranpo shrugs and Kambe walks off. "Let's get going sir." Ranpo nods"alright." He grabs my hand and pulls me towards him as the officer looks to me. "She can't come along. She's not a detective." He states"I was told there was only one." "She's my assistant." "That may be so,but I was told-"Ranpo groans"who caaares what you were told? Cant you just take us already?! I'm growing impatient!" The trainee takes a deep breath before apologizing and showing us to the car. Ranpo and I get in the back seat as the man drives us to the station. The ride was silent,I didn't like it. We eventually arrived after ten minutes of pure torture,the man then led us into the interrogation room. However,Ranpo was the only one allowed to enter(which I didn't mind). Ranpo basically told the parents the truth and that they shouldn't look for their daughter,since it appeared she didn't want to be found. The parents were feeling all kinds of emotions. I mean,they're daughter wasn't actually dead? Plus,she's alive but ran away? And they shouldn't look for her? With that parting advice,Ranpo and I left and headed back for Yokohama.

I still hadn't forgotten to ask him about what he said early. And so,with a deep breath I spoke up. "Hey Ranpo?" He hums,his attention going from the window to me. "What you said earlier on the train,to the boy...but I guess to me..."he speaks up,his full attention on me now. "Is this about the body comment?" I nod"yes,it is. We're you saying it for a bit or did you mean it?" He hums and looks down to his lap for a moment before answering. "I meant it." My eyes widened"w-what...?" He nods"I mean,I don't want you to get to fat. I mean,people would make fun of me! And as the world best detective,I can't have that. I can't let my reputation be ruined!" I was now the one to look down into my lap,I gripped my pants tightly. "I-I see." "I hope this doesn't change anything between us." "N-No,of course not."

This changes so much.
