Chapter 8 - Chapter 2: Friendship and Betrayal (Investigation)

I saw Saiko's dead body. I took a deep breath and I just... can't believe that he so fast to get killed, "hey, Dan?" I looked at Tsumiko and the others including who made Haruto get executed, "I just... found Saiko, here... because I saw Saichi walking" Saichi looked at me with his furrowed eyes, "what is your proof?" Right, I will find the proof. "Nakamura and..." Hanabi step forward and I sighed, "Hanabi and Nakamura guard the dead body." Monokuma appears and he gives us the autopsy report.

"You want me to do the autopsy?" We looked at him, "I don't believe you" he sighed, "okay, but.. if you guys need something... just called me" Wait! "H-hold on!" I think I know who is the voice, Monokuma looks at me, "yeah?" And I think... there is another person behind this, "can you... do an autopsy for us?" All eyes looking at me. "What the hell are you thinking, Dan!? Are you mad!?" I shook my head and took a breath, "no" I walked to Nakamura, "Hey, can I look a bit closer?" Nakamura let me examine and everybody did their job.

I just... can't believe STILL, I just talked to him a while ago, "please hear me" while we were looking at Monokuma. I looked at the Autopsy report.

Name: Saiko Katsumura

Age:16

Blood Type: AB

Cause of death: Poisoned, and stab to the death

Time of death: 09.00 PM

He poisoned!? By who? I just took a deep breath and I looked at Monokuma, "Monokuma, can we talk.. Just us?" Monokuma looked at me and disappeared, what's wrong with him? I just sighed and looked at my friend's dead body. "I will find justice for you, Saiko" I looked at Saiko's dead body and I sighed. "It's just too much, for a murder" I pushed the body and I saw a poisoned trace on his chin. "He must be forced to drink it," I nodded.

*Trace of poisoned added to truth bullets

I'm looking at his wounds, "I think the culprit wants us to feel the anger" I looked at his stomach and I found something, that's right.. the traitor... I almost forgot about that. Because one of us it's a traitor, "I think... the killer is the traitor" everyone looking at me. "What do you mean by that?" I sighed, "Saiko wanted to tell that he found who the traitor is" all eyes looking at me suspiciously. I will prove my innocence, and I'm not giving up.

"Where were you at that time, Dan?" I sighed, "I always missed dinner but that doesn't mean I'm the killer" I need something solid, I took the note and read it, 'the only way you can found the traitor is looking at how they react with this note' I don't know what that means, but it can be a clue.

*Saiko Katsumura's note added to truth bullets

I took a deep breath and I looked at his body again, there was a lot of blood and stab mark? "It means it's angry" we looked at the door and I saw Lobak and she smiling, why so suddenly? "I'm here to help you guys to investigate something?" She sighed, "I'm tired of not trying to help my junior" I took a deep breath and I looked at the surrounding, "I will not bother you guys, but I will here to help with the psychologist things" I continued my investigation and I took a deep breath.

"Monokuma" Monokuma appeared, "okay, new rules, I was allowed to open all the rooms except the command room and server room" he suddenly disappeared and left us more question, who is this who put the charge in here!? I sighed and I headed to Saiko's room. I remembered something, I pat Yashiro's shoulder, "Yashiro, can you... help me?" Yashiro looked at his surroundings and I took a deep breath and whispered my plan.

"Can you do that?" Yashiro looked into my eyes, "are you sure?" I nodded because he accidentally showed himself. I'm heading to Saiko's room, "mind if I joined you?" I sighed, "no, I can do this" she just stood there and smiled "I believe you can do this, for sake of your dead friend. But here" she tossed me something. "You should look at it, and don't forget to not share it with everyone before the class trial it's done" I catch it perfectly. I'm looking at Saiko's handbook and I'm looking at it.

"It seems fine" I sighed if she tossed me this handbook. I know, it's evidence. But should I trust her?

*Saiko's handbook added at to the truth bullets

I'm looking at Tsumiko, why is she staring at me? Will I get caught up by her? She approached me and I looked at her, "so... Lobak shows up and your sudden actions make me wonder. What were you thinking?" I don't know, I looked at Tsumiko, "I just.. want the best from all of you" Tsumiko sighed. "Okay, let's continue, shall we?" Is she disappointed with me? I continued my journey and I opened the door. This is it, Saiko's room. I took a deep breath and I saw two chairs.

I approached the table and I looked at Tsumiko, "is he a smoker?" She shook her head, yeah... Tsumiko and Saiko, are best friends "no, he is trying really hard to get his license" I nodded. "So....?" I sighed. I took a peek at his trash can, what is it? I picked it up and it's lighter. So if Saiko doesn't smoke, who else? I look at Kaede and I approach her.

*Lighter added to the truth bullets

"Hey, can I ask you some questions?" She looks at me, "do you know the lighter come from?" She nodded. "It's from the storage room" I nodded, so the killer was a smoker? I don't know... but I do not see her in a while. Aoi took a glance and Miku patted my shoulders. "Dan, can I talk to you a second?" I nodded. I followed her to the bathroom and I saw a little note, it's written 'find me and catch me from the Monster' I looked at Miru and I saw her thrilled.

"I think it's the serial killer" WHAT AGAIN!?? FIRST, THERE IS TRAITOR ON THIS BOAT, AND THE SECOND THERE IS A SERIAL KILLER OUT THERE? WHAT'S GOING ON!? I took a deep breath and I really wanted to sleep, right now. I just need my blanket and my pillow.

"Dan? Are you okay?" I sighed and nodded, "I'm fine" I took this note and put it into my pocket.

*Serial Killer's note added to the truth bullets

I heard a bell ringing.

'Sorry for the inconvenience, we should postpone this second-class trial until next morning, please all of you proceed into your own room'

Wait?? What's going on? I don't see her. And WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!? Kaede looked at us and I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know" I took a deep breath and we headed to our room.

.....

Monokuma looked at her with furrowed eyes, "what the hell you are thinking!?" She took her breath and looked at Monokuma, "please... stop this" Monokuma punched her face and kicked her stomach. "YOU SAID YOU GONNA HELP ME!!!" Lobak just looked at Monokuma and she was really in pain. "So, what are you waiting for, kill me now, Monokuma. I don't have a reason to live anymore, I love her" Monokuma pointed a gun at her face "go on... if I die, I still love her. Why should you do this just looking for my attention?" Monokuma punched her face with that gun.

"Get out of my room" she sighed and she looked at Monokuma, "you know what, I'm gonna help them in court tomorrow, they need an expert anyway. If you don't let me, it will be a boring show for you. How??" Monokuma growling and looking at her. "Fine!" Lobak stands up and she gets out and Monokuma helps her, "you know... you obsessed, what good in me? I lose her, and I can't even protect your sister. If this is about revenge, please... don't hurt them" Lobak walking to the nursery room to get treatment.
