Chapter 16 - Chapter 4: The Past (Investigation)

"Dan?" I looked at Kaede, "why are you so calm? What happened?" I sighed, "what should we do? Do you have any option?" She shook her head, "all of us, on that Lobak's spaceships, right?" I nodded. "All of us" All... of us. I looked closer at Saichino's dead body, "Hi, all of my students!" Monokuma! "Why you are not thrilled as you saw Lobak? Does she leave all of you? What a shame! You shouldn't trust her, she abandons all of you" I hold Yashiko's collars, "don't! I know you are upset" I looked at him with my furrowed eyes.

"What do you want!?" He gave us the autopsy report, "sorry for the previous case, I can't give you the report by myself! Because Lobak never gives me a chance" I took at the report, "I know you still pissed, but don't mad at me. I'm a good person!" No, we won't trust you, "yeah, whatever you wanted to say, Monokuma. I don't care" does he laughing? "Fufufufufu..." he disappears.

"Hey, are you alright, Dan? Don't listen to him" I opened the report.

Blood Type: O

Time of death: 08.07 AM

Poisoned? How? I looked at Nakamura, "Nakamura?" He looks at me, "what?" I shook my head, it does not look like him, I looked at his body. "It's a trace of poisoned" I looked at Hanabi.

"Do you know where we can found a poisoned?" She nods, "I know where is it, I saw the bottle on the Infirmary, but I don't know if the culprit already disposing of the bottle or not, I don't know" I nodded. All of us, together after all.

"Nakamura, it's your job to take care of him, right?" He nods, "why? Do you think I'm the killer? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?" We do not accuse you as a killer, big guy. "We just asking, not accusing you" he sighed, "okay, I gave him the meds. But as you know, we on the same room, same floor, right?" He got the point, "let's go we heading to the infirmary" I took a deep breath, "yeah" all of us except Hanabi and Nakamura. They can do it later.

"So, what do you think?" I looked at our sleeping bag and I open it one by one, "there!" I approach the trash can and I looked at a shattered glass of a bottle. I picked and I try to reassemble the bottle. "It's Botulinum toxins" I looked at Hinako, "how do you know?" She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I remembered that bottle originally was" we looked at her.

"It's on the MedBay, I'm looking at there" we should take a look. How the culprit poisoned Saichino? "I'm waiting here, I need to take a look closely" Tsumiko looked at me, "I'll stay, we can share what we found at the next class trial" I sighed and looked at the nightstand near where Saichino's was sleeping. "The glass, I wake up and gives him this glass" Tsumiko looked at me, "you not a killer, right?" I nodded. "I'm not! I don't know if that glass has contained poison inside" she sighed,

"So, after you drink him" I sighed, "I'm helping his walks to the bathroom" she nods. "Now, we heading to the MedBay?" I nodded. "Yeah, Come on" I took a deep breath and looked at her. "You know, I think we should look at what inside of this letter" I picked my letter and I opened it, I closed my mouth and looked at her, "what is yours?" She shook her head, "all of us have secrets and the past, right?" She's right, I shouldn't ask about that.

"I don't know what happened to him between the culprit, but I think I know the motive" I picked Saichino's letter and I read it. "The culprit must be curious about what is it?" I nodded. "But I realized not all of us inside that room. We heard Saichino's screaming and his head bleeding" she nods. "you right, we were there, and Lobak too" I sighed.

I opened the letter and I read it, "it could be the motive" I let Tsumiko knows, "who was it?" I sighed. I don't know, "but I think we should keep it as evidence" she nodded.

"Time's up both of you!" We looked at Hanabi, it's our time, "let's go" we get out from this infirmary and heading to the MedBay. "Dan, do you have any idea what's going on?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know what's going on" she nods. "What Lobak said earlier, it's still ringing in my head" she nods.

"Me too, I don't know what she dealing with" I opened the MedBay and I saw Kaede and Miru, "what's going on?" Kaede pointed to the shelf, "Hanabi said, you wanted to see where's the bottle come from" I looked at the shelf and I sighed. "Where the culprit get the rope?" I looked at Tsumiko. "What did you say?" Tsumiko looked at me. "I think it's from the storage room" Tsumiko nodded, "look, this shelf is empty. I don't know how the culprit knows if a poison?" I took a deep breath and I sighed.

"I think it's from the label B, here" I sighed, I'm failed, "hey, are you okay?" I shook my head and rub my face. "You already did the best, Dan. Don't be sad, and overthinking about it" I sighed, "one to blame is Monokuma, Dan" we looked our left side. "So, I come back and I bring good news and bad news. The good news is, I'm already hacked the system and Junko's AI no longer on this ships!" I heard growling from the corner. "Monokuma, you and us will face to face soon. I'm out, I will back again after you guys found out who the hell is Monokuma was" she disappears.

"She not mention the bad news is" I guess... I know what the bad news is, "we done here?" I looked at Hanabi, "Hanabi, can we talked?" She looks at me, "sure, I haven't investigate the crime" I sighed, "you look any suspicious on Nakamura? Because both of you last night who picked the sleeping bags for us" she nods.

"He looking for something, but I don't know what is it" I nodded, "Let's we heading to the Saichino's dead body, I wanted to know if I missing something" we running because we almost run out of the time.

I looked closely to the rope and I looked at the neck. "If he really wanted to suicide, why he drinks poisoned? I mean, we can suicide whenever we want to" she's right, something off here. "This marks it's like he struggling" I looked at his neck and I nodded.

We heard the bell and I saw the door, 'you guys can walks to that door and enjoyed the journey' what kind of journey you prepare, for us Monokuma?
