Tsukauchi decided to visit one of the heroes in the hospital. Aizawa to be specific. His reasoning for doing so was to discuss their new suspect for the Ink case now that Bendy was counted out.

And also in major part because the guy seemed to only be staying at the hospital because he had too. Aizawa seemed to want to continue to work, so he will.

"Hey, Eraserhead. We've finally found more evidence about that case with the ink. Turns out, your suspicion about Yaoyorozu being the culprit was false. The drawing the guy did was similar-looking, but looked nothing like the kid in the end."

The pro hero didn't seem to believe that, "What did the drawing look like?".

The detective took a nearby paper to draw it out, "This isn't exactly what he drew. But this was the final sketch we decided on. Based on both the drawing and things the victim said.", Tsukauchi paused, "You know what. I may as well also draw what he drew."

Aizawa almost gasped at this

Aizawa almost gasped at this. The detective noticed this, "Yeah. I know it sorta looks like the boy. But like I said, it's too different. It could be a relative however, which would also help another unsolved case..."

"It's not that. It's just...", the pro stopped. "That doesn't matter. But we should stop this case. I don't think we're going to find the culprit. Because apart from Bendy, nobody in the vicinity has an ink quirk."

"The same thing is happening with Tomura Shigaraki. It could just be that this criminal is from another area. Or is lying about their quirk on the records."

Eraserhead didn't seem convinced at this, but just sighed.

Meanwhile, Aizawa knew who was the culprit. But from what he saw, his student didn't have a human level intelligence when in that form.

Something felt off about holding someone accountable for actions they did when they were equivalent to a wild animal. There just had to be something to excuse what happened in that alleyway. Maybe self-defence?

But no matter what, he knew Bendy wasn't on any grounds to be arrested. The teacher knew his suspicions were right the moment he had done the interrogation and had witnessed that... demonic form. But Aizawa also knew that this wasn't a very clear case.

As always, the class continued the next day. And not long after almost everybody got in, it was impossible to get out. A crowd had formed around the door, almost like a gang of thugs. But that could just be the trauma from USJ.
