-------------------------------
Things had taken a less than pleasant turn of events. While all of you had been searching the crime scene Conan had found two pieces of important evidence that proved both the victim's identity, and that there was foul play. Underneath a rock just beside the remains of the victim's torso, Conan found four whole cigarettes, two with their filters missing, and a silver engagement ring bearing the name of the missing man. You had four suspects, and they were the people who had last seen the victim. The victim's fiancé, the general editor of an astrology magazine, and his subordinate had all been sent an invitation by the dead man. Adding in the innkeeper, none of your suspects stood out.
Before you could contact the police discreetly, the innkeeper had arrived to give you a piece of the telescope he'd left out of the bag. Upon seeing the body, he ran back to the inn screaming. So now, you were back at the inn, trying to stop the chaos from getting worse.
"What do you mean you've found Asao's bones in the forest?!" The drunken lady from earlier (You now knew her name was Nonomiya Etsuko) shouted.
What the hell do you think it means? You wanted to snip back, but you were still doing your best to 'behave' so you wouldn't keep getting yelled at by... everyone. "You said you just found the bones, how can you be so sure it was him?!"
"Next to his body, we found a ring with two names carved into it, yours and his. It was the twin of the couple ring you showed us earlier." You stated, drawing confused looks for your mature demeanor.
"Couldn't that guy Kouno have killed someone else, and left that ring there on purpose?" A guy you assumed to be the subordinate of the general editor piped in. He was a rather weaselly looking guy, with sharp eyes, a large pointed nose, and spiked black hair.
"Sorry, but who are you two?" You asked the man, and his compatriot.
He looked a little annoyed that you didn't know who they were, but introduced himself. "I'm Futagawa Hajime." Weasel Boy stated. "This is the general editor of the astronomy magazine, 'Space Sunday'."
"I don't give a shit what fancy crap he does, I asked for a name." You grumbled, already wanting nothing more than to nap for a bit.
"What'd you say you little..." Weasel Boy started to snap, but the other man interrupted him.
"My name is Mikami Heihachi." He introduced himself finally. He was pretty old, with a widow's peak, and receding hairline. A scruffy mustache rested on his upper lip, and a pair of wire glasses sat on the bridge of his wide nose.
"Thank you." You let out a yawn, and gestured to Conan to continue.
Conan nodded, before turning to the drunk lady. "Excuse me, but didn't Mr. Kouno have a decayed tooth? The second upper tooth from the right end." Conan asked. He didn't use his childish tone, but it wasn't his serious tone either.
"An upper molar tooth on the right?" Drunk lady didn't need any time to think. She started to laugh, an airy laugh, that was nearly too weak to be considered a laugh. "Then that skeleton isn't Asao! He did have a decayed tooth, but it was a front one in the lower part!"
