Mayumi died with the knife still stuck in her mouth. The knife penetrated to the nape of the neck. Blood was pouring from Mayumi's eyes, nose, ears and mouth.
Beside him, Kyosuke's corpse was face down, his head facing upwards. Rotate 180°. His neck is broken. His tongue stuck out.
Right at Shinsuke's feet, Kensuke's corpse also lay. His body was curled up on the cold floor. His left chest was stabbed with a fork.
Whose deed is this? What kind of monster kills viciously in just few minutes?
"That's how they restrained you, My Tantei. No wonder it was so hard for me to take you with me." A voice from behind Shinsuke.
"Ke-kenkyo? This can't be your doing, can it?"
"Oh come on! I'm so mad at them. They won't let me help you."
"W-wait! You're not Kenkyo! Who are you, Monster? Why did you kill my friends, huh?"
"Tch! Friends you say? Silly!"
Shinsuke gripped Kenkyo's arm.
"WHO ARE YOU REALLY, HUH?"
