Chapter 3: Bittersweet feel

"Amano Misaki is Tadaomi Misaki! And guess what? Her DNA from the coffee cup matches with the DNA from the skin from the knot and the nail in the office." Matsu grinned.

"You were saying?" Yamada leaned forward on his elbow.

Amano remained mute and then smirked.

"But how did I kill him? I left half and hour before he died." She looked triumphant.

"Very simple. You used ice." Yamada grinned.

Amano paled.

"Ice?... Ah! The wet patch!" Matsu exclaimed.

"Very good Matsu. It was not really easy. You drugged him with a needle. There was struggled when he injured you but you managed to sedate him. You were incidently carrying an Ice carried. Each block about the side of a concrete block. Stacking 3, would be enough to hold him straight to the rope that was suspended from the ceiling but once it started melting, the height decreased, Immediately he was sagged against the rope and asphyxiated to death. Since the temperature was quite hot. The ice melted well and the body was suspended. And by the time it was found, Majority of the water had evaporated but a little puddle remained right under the victim so many may mistake it for urination seen usually by suicide/hung victims but....When we analyzed the sample of the carpet...." Yamada looked Matsu.

"There was more water spread. Also the soles of his shoes had been wiped dry....So I am assuming you did return at some point and cleaned up some of the mess. ....around the time cameras were being changed. The front of his shoes were ruined. So I am assuming as the ice melted, the suddenly throttle he felt woke him from sedation and in his struggled slipped and the front rested against the ice block. His shoes are of leather so they got ruined" Matsu gushed when Inoo just nodded his head.

"Ice? Can you hear yourself? Where would I procure such an Item? And an ice block of that size...Three of them?" Amano asked savagely.

"Indeed. Unless you made him order it in the name of therapy. It seems your establishment has weird ice theraphy to lose weight and you tricked him into buying it. We have his invoice for the order. We confirmed with your employer about the therapy also." Yamada elaborated.

"Plus, we guessed your identity when your sister came here. I don't think you can get away." Inoo mused.

Amano looked away. Flashes of memory passed in her head.

Strangling him. In the process her nail broke and painfully fell off but she didn't stop. She jabbed the needle in his neck.

She had earlier made him stack the ice. She stood on the table and tied a noose. He was heavy, she grunted and suspended him, and made sure he stood on the ice. She tied the knot when she hissed, she had accidently scalded her skins with the nFor now good. She left.

She returned. She smiled in satisfaction. The ice was still melting but the bastard died. She took a cloth and wiped the bottom of his shoes as she wrinkled her nose.

This was perfect. Just as they said.

Amano was breathing harshly. How did they figure it out. If that man found out she got caught.

No... She will not get caught.

"Look...you can call a lawyer...." Inoo started when Amano jumped and grabbed Matsu who was closest to her.

Yamada and Inoo jumped up in horror. Inoo presed the emergency button.

"Stay back! Otherwise I will rip her throat!" Amano commanded as he dangerously held a pen tip against Matsu's neck.
