Welcome to the Show

Beginning of one story is the end of another. 
Also I really wanted the Akagi Mansion arc done with

Kakei grinned like a fox. "It's like I've been saying all along."

Kenshin stepped back, away from Mina. He shook his head. "No, no. It's not--"

She crossed the space between them. "Ken-chan, of course it isn't. I would never..." She took a breath, meeting Sato's eyes. "I can explain."

Hattori shifted his weight off his injured leg. "Please do," he prompted. "How else do ya explain the fact that no calls have been made from your phone since last night?"

"The only person I ever need to talk to is my husband. He's been dead since last night," she said coolly.

"You didn't know he was dead until this morning. Unless you found his body last night and failed to call the police?" Shinichi quirked an eyebrow.

Her lips formed a thin line. "He'd been missing for twelve hours. I assumed the worst."

"Is that why, at midnight last night, ya emailed your accountant an' told 'em ta cash in his life insurance?"

Mina stomped her foot. "If you're so sure I've killed my husband, then prove it!" she demanded. "I won't have you throwing around accusations like this!"

Hattori's grin was reminiscent of KID's. "Kudou, if ya'll begin the proceedings?"

"With pleasure, Hattori.

"The first thing you had to do was get Akagi out of the house. His friends had invited himself to your house— you seized the opportunity. You told Akagi they were coming to crack down on him, that you feared for his life. He went out on his fishing boat, with enough supplies to last him all day.

"We found the wrappers of five protein bars and an empty gallon of fresh water. Even for a man his size, that much food is odd. That is unless you consider the fact that he knew he'd be away from his home for an indefinite amount of time."

"Once Akagi-han was away, you had plenty of time ta prepare ta murder 'im. Ya decided ta do it in the bathroom, where we found Kakei-han's razor later. Ya replaced the soap in two of the bottles with chloroform an' bleach. Ya planned ta knock him out with the chloroform an' kill him by makin' him drink the bleach." She opened her mouth to protest, but Hattori continued without missing a beat. "We found traces of each of these substances in the bottles ya left behind."

"Once the guests arrived, you knew you had to get them all separated. Each of their reasons to kill Akagi-san were much stronger than yours, you thought. Surely they'd become the only suspects. After all, no one knew about your affair with Kenshin-san.

"He was the first that you put away. You knocked him out by spiking his drink. He knew what you'd done but kept quiet anyway."

"Kenshin-san, can you validate that?" Shiratori eyed him skeptically.

Kenshin folded his arms, his gaze travelling to the floor. "I realized what happened when I woke up in the morning. I didn't think it was too relevant."

After Shiratori nodded to continue, Shinichi said, "To get rid of Ishiwatari-san, you sent him on at least an hour long grocery run. You didn't think your phone call later would acquit him as well. Nakano-san and Kakei-san volunteered to search for Akagi-san. You knew that they'd come up empty-handed, that you'd have at least an hour to kill Akagi-san."

"As soon as the house was empty, ya called up Akagi-han. Ya told him, 'they're gone for now. Come 'round the back, an' I'll sneak ya in,' or somethin' ta that effect. He parked his boat at the base of the hill like ya directed. Once he reached the house, ya had him climb in through the bathroom window. We found mud on the outside of that window sill indicative of this fact.
