"Why did we gather, is there another set of interrogation?" Jana asked as she sat down followed by the other suspects.
"No--You are here to..." I smirked as I continued, "...know who killed your friends..."
"Wha--" All four of them are surprised, not only that, the police officers too except Luca and inspector Lemuel.
"Who! Who is the one!" Jacob stood up as he shouts in anger.
"Calm down Jacob... Just sit first... I will explain everything..." He sat down as he calms down and said, "Sorry about that..."
"Then, let us start from the very start. All of you gathered here together after several months of not meeting each other. Do you think that this is the real reason?" I asked them as they replied with a nod.
"That is wrong! It is for [Endou Amaterasu], his girlfriend." Everyone in the apartment is shocked by what I just said.
"Akihiko did something unforgivable and [Amaterasu] held a grudge against these two people. The first person is obviously the victim and the potential next victim is--[Shimizu Yuki]. Can you guess what is that unforgivable thing?" I smirked as I stared at Lemuel.
"Affair?" Lemuel said hesitatingly.
"Bingo! But that is not all of it... [Shimizu Yuki] had special sexual intercourse with Akihiko." Everyone's faces darkened and my smirk intimidates everyone in the room.
"Hehe. [Sekiguchi Satoshi] is his childhood best friend, but he didn't tell anyone because [Endou Amaterasu] and Akihiko's relationship is a secret.
[Mochizuki Kikuko] is his friend that once met during vacation which completes these three people from Spain, Greece, and Japan...
Then, how about let's go about the main topic now that we know the murderer's aim?" I smiled innocently as everyone in the room is speechless.
"Then, that [Endou Amaterasu] is the one who killed my best friend?" Jacob asked as she stared at the three girls.
They probably didn't know what I meant on vacation because Akihiko met Jana in Hawaii, Emily in Cuba, and Lily in New York during his travel around the world.
"Yeah! Then, let's decode the dying message of the victim!" I stood up and walked towards the wooden table with the "Teisuu" kanji.
"What did you notice strange in the message except for using kanji rather than hiragana or katakana?" I smiled towards the inspector and let him see the dying message.
"I-I am not sure..." I sighed inwardly as I said, "Well, it is okay. It is a very simple one after all..."
"The "Teisuu" written in kanji is very neat, it is in the middle of the planks as if it is written on paper, do you know why does he do that despite dying?" I asked and then they only shooked their head.
"It is because one out of four of your group smirked as if you enjoyed killing him, making him more scared and he can only think of a code. That is why he started writing this..." I stated as I pointed my fingers towards the table.
"This wooden table is made out of several planks, right?" I asked and they stared at the wooden table to check if this is correct and then they nod.
"It is weird, right? There is a paper in front of him even though it is not his... It is Lily's paper right?" Lily immediately nods.
"Then, if you are dying, you wouldn't think of something else but you want to live. But if there is no other choice, you would do anything to expose the killer. Even though there is Lily's paper in front of him, he still took his pen and writes "Teisuu" on one of the planks.
He had to write it that way to convey the meaning of the message.
Plancks Constant." They repeated, "Plancks Constant" in unison of saying those words mine.
"What is it?" Luca asked in confusion as I replied with a smirk.
"Hey, he is a science freak, right? He would know what is "Planks Constant" because this thing is the fundamental physical constant characteristic of the mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles and waves on the atomic scale, including the particle aspect of light...
This is the only thing he can think of after seeing the plank and the face of the smirking killer.
The behavior of particles and waves on the atomic scale including the particle aspect of light... There is a lot of particles and waves but on Plancks Constant, the most common particle that will be used for this formula is the particle of light.
If I am not wrong, Jacob, Emily, and Jana-- all of your surnames are connected to light, you know? That is why I suspected the three of you first. Aegle is a Latinized Greek word that meant bright.
Aeliana is derived from Aelianus and the Aelianus is derived from the Greek word which meant sun.
Lastly, Clara is a late Latin word Clarus, which meant clear, bright, and famous." I stated which made their faces showed the nervousness in their faces.
"Then, is Lily not the person in the dying message..." Luca said but I immediately said, "Remember the matter about kanji, right? The English name is of no use in the investigation. Use kanji." I smirked as I took my notepad and wrote the names from the diary.
The names in Japanese are not just random. All of the names have meanings... The name that he made for the four of you is all about your behavior which is already connected to the "Plancks Constant" who describes their behavior.
Now, let us start with [Sekiguchi Satoshi], Sekiguchi meant "barrier open" and Satoshi meant "open-minded". Based on the traits and characteristics that you guys have given me earlier, this person is Jacob. The only male in the suspects and the only male in the four names.
[Mochizuki Kikuko] on the other hand meant "full moon" and "Chrysanthemum". When you combined the meaning of these words, [1] she is a very comfortable person like a moon and a sympathetic person. That is the language of the Chrysanthemum flower, after all.
Now, for [Shimizu Yuki], the possible target of [Endou Amaterasu] and the one who had an affair with Akihiko is you, Emily Rose." Everyone is shocked at what I just said.
I said the name of Emily Rose as [Shimizu Yuki] so that automatically means that Lily Hughes is the [Endou Amaterasu]
"W-wait! How did I become Amaterasu?" Lily's face became ugly as she panics.
"[Shimizu Yuki] means "pure" and "courage" which when you combined, it would be a courageous woman with a pure heart.
And your English name doesn't mean any sun at all but your Japanese name did. The reason he used kanji is that he wanted to say that the "Planck's Constant" is in Japanese...
That is also the second reason why you are the killer. [Endou Amaterasu] is "wisteria" and "sun goddess" which meant, the beautiful sun goddesses likes flowers, That is one of your hobbies, right? Appreciating the flowers before everyone drank their coffee." She is frightened in my presence.
"T-then! Tell me what I did and you need evidence to say that I am a murderer!" Lily yells as everyone changed their vision towards Lily. She is now a murderer in front of their eyes.
"Well, then! I'm glad to do that!" I smiled widely as I sat down in my seat.
"You are already here three days prior to this day, right?" I asked and then looked at her speechless face.
"You also recorded a video that you are about to go near this apartment while wearing the same shirt! But you've made a minor but major mistake!" I said as I continued, "Journalists like you liked putting their ball pen on your pocket at your chest. It became a journalist's hobby and that means, there should be a mark that your pen is in your pocket, just like the one in the video...
After that, you met up with him and tell him that gather everyone for today so that you can blame the three of them. But you only planned this for Emily, right? Jacob and Jana are just dragged by your scheme.
Then, the day comes and all the three of you met here. You sent the video from three days ago while you are already in the door, then sneak inside. Poison the cup of Akihiko and pretend that you just arrived by opening the door hardly..." I stated as I smirked but I was interrupted by Lemuel.
"Wait, that makes sense but how did she know that she poisoned Akihiko's coffee since there are two mugs of chocolate coffee on the table?"
"It is easy, Akihiko is a left-handed person and all of them are all right-handed. All of their wristwatches are located at their left wrist which indicates that it is the hand they are not using. If you wore it on your main hand, it will hinder you, after all." I smiled widely as I looked like a demon looking at everyone in the apartment.
