In the secluded place at Sakurazaka University...
Asuka lets out a sigh of defeat.
Well, just go ahead and ask away. Asuka said coldly.
Good, now first and foremost...what happened between you and the victim? why did you divorced? Izuru asks expectantly.
The reason is simple, he doesn't have time for us anymore he got obsessed with his new research the thing that he is currently doing right now...so, we both reached into an agreement to divorce yet I am still granting him access to meet his son every weekends. Asuka said calmly.
Is that so? No other reason? Izuru asks suspiciously.
No other reasons...Asuka said irritatingly.
You have shown me subtle signs of deception, tell me the truth now. Izuru said coldly.
I don't know what you are talking about, if you think that I am lying then so be it. Asuka said irritatingly I just answered your question that's all, you really like to overthink things are you? Asuka said coldly.
You and the victim's brother, Takeru Saegusa...You two are having an affair am I right? Izuru said coldly.
Asuka's eyes widen in shock.
What are you- Asuka's words got cut off by Izuru.
Why would you even lie to me if that wasn't the case, right? I know that what you told me is the truth yet I also know that you are still withholding something, it's either a scandalous thing or an affair with his closest one...based on my experiences, that was the only two options that we can weigh. Izuru said coldly.
You're right, I am surprised that you know about it even though no one ever told you. Asuka said calmly.
Explain yourself. Izuru said coldly.
Me and Takeru has been cheating behind my husband's back since we got married...I know that I shouldn't be doing that but Takeru charmed me and I gave in...since then, we started going out secretly and sometimes...even make out...I started craving Takeru more than my husband, then I did the unthinkable...2 years ago, when he got busy by his new research...I used it as a reason for divorce and parted ways with him...all while still secretly meeting up with Takeru. Asuka said her voice full of sorrow Just recently, I realized the weight of what I did...to me, to my son, and to anyone else, that's why I cut ties with Takeru and then lived quietly with my son. Asuka said irritatingly Just bt remembering it, makes me sick. Asuka said coldly.
Next question, have you ever had contact with Takeru since the day you cut ties with him? Izuru asks expectantly.
Yes, once...just recently. Asuka said hesitantly.
What did you two talked about? Izuru said coldly.
He just dropped by to check up on me and my son. Asuka said calmly.
Is that so? Izuru said suspiciously.
Yes, that's it nothing more. Asuka said coldly.
Well, I think that you are still withholding something to me. Izuru said hesitantly.
You are overthinking things, you asked a question and I answered that's it. Asuka said coldly.
In that case...Izuru said hesitantly.
What? Asuka said irritatingly.
Let's uhm...move to the next question. Izuru said feigning cheerfulness.
Good, much better. Asuka said calmly.
Now, for the next question, do you know what happened between Takeru and His Brother which is the victim that might link him to the crime. Izuru asks expectantly.
Yes, since Hikaru and Takeru were still a child Takeru has always been envious of his brother. Asuka said coldly.
Interesting, now tell me everything about you know about the story. Izuru said enthusiastically.
Acting like a child now, are you? Fine. Asuka said irritatingly.
Go on! Izuru said enthusiastically.
In terms of Academics Takeru is much better than Hikaru but their parents always just recognize Hikaru's achievement overlooking Takeru's their parents in turn always recognize Takeru's failures. But still, Takeru didn't gave up and even though he was jealous of his brother having all the recognition and glory he still doesn't given up on him yet too...Back in the day they have an unbreakable bond. Until, Takeru become obsessed with Chemistry back in College... Hikaru, in turn, also become curious about the field and started to study about it too...not long after that, Takeru's brilliance was once again overshadowed by Hikaru...to put things in simple terms, Hikaru became better in Takeru's field that he thought no one else even his supposedly perfect brother can overtake him. Asuka said calmly That's all I know. Asuka said coldly.
I see, that's indeed enough reason for him to be a killer. Izuru said coldly Anyways, how about the three sibling disciples of your ex husband? Izuru asks curiously.
Oh, Mikoto, Takenori and Asahi? Well, they're a bit odd but they're definitely so kind. Asuka said calmly.
Is that all? Izuru asks curiously.
Yes, I haven't known them for a while. Asuka said calmly.
I see, that will suffice. Izuru said coldly.
In that case, put this damn fucking cuff out of me! Asuka said irritatingly.
Not just yet, we're not done. Izuru said sarcastically.
What is it now? Make it quick! My son might have been waiting for me right fucking now! Asuka said irritatingly.
Alright, alright! Calm down. Izuru said irritatingly You're like that Squirrel, Asahina. Izuru mutters to himself.
You saying something? Asuka said coldly.
Oh, nothing! Izuru said warily.
Then, why don't you go ahead and just ask your dumb questions! Asuka said irritatingly.
No need to be so bossy, fine! Izuru said irritatingly.
Good, make it quick. Asuka said coldly.
The answer is quite obvious but...where were you and what are you doing during the time of death? Izuru said coldly.
I was in the school I was watching my son get escorted into the classroom by his homeroom teacher while talking to a friend in the phone who wants to catch up. Asuka said calmly.
I can assume that you met up with this perosn afterwards, right? And then after that, we can deduce that you went straight to your home and cooked some meal, took a quick nap, took a shower and then goes back straight here to pick up your son. Izuru said sarcastically.
You're quite a genius you know that? Quite rare for a detective- I mean people this days. Asuka said calmlyYes, what you've said is true. Asuka said calmly And if I think about it you're pretty dumb too, even if I were a suspect...I will have to travel miles away to reach the scene, you know? Asuka said irritatingly.
I was just making sure okay? Izuru said feigning annoyance.
Now that your questions has been answered, why don't you just put this thing out of me? Asuka said irritatingly.
No, not yet. Izuru said coldly.
Damn, you're persistent! Asuka said enraged.
She then swiftly gets his gun from the ground and points it to Izuru's head.
Remove the cuff now or I'll blow that damn head of yours away! You're starting to get on my nerves. Asuka said irritatingly.
Damn... Izuru said hesitantly.
