The night enveloped everything in darkness, shrouding secrets in its veiled embrace. Yanagi, immersed in the enigmatic allure of soft jazz, contemplated the alibis of potential criminals while sitting in his chair. The dim of his cigarette glowed and seemed to outshine even his illustrious detective career, leaving a trail of enigmatic shadows.His glossy black hat, like an ominous symbol of a damaged heart, added to the enigma that surrounded him. His eyes, a mix of relaxation and readiness, keenly observed every detail, like a riddle begging to be solved. Deep within, his heart burned with a fervor to find the person responsible for disrupting his project.

He was in his desk looking for the possible suspects. He was looking around for suspicious movements that could reveal the criminal's mind.
The temperature was heavy around him since he was feeling the eyes of the suspects looking at him. Definitely not because he was acting like Sherlock. Yanagi must observe the suspects one by one to see if they have an alibi for the crime. Based on what he knew that potential candidates would be Aoi, scientist of farming technology development, Tojo, scientist of technology research. Lastly, Asahi ,his rival and old friend, that share the same field.
It was obvious that the most suitable person for this crime would be Asahi, since they had past. Meaning that maybe he found out about what actually happened this day. The alibi is strong, and the action suits to a scientist that knows how to find something that specific. He is the perfect suspect and most and foremost he has the knowledge to commit such a crime. However he must not jump to conclusions fast. Yanagi needs to find evidence, in order to blame him for the crime.
The place had a weird pressure, he could feel that someone was watching him. Yeah he could feel it clearly, he is been watched, is it Aoi, Tojo or the crimson of the day Asahi. Yanagi could feel two eyes looking at him from the back. The chills he got was very strong to just ignored it.
So he slowly, turns and looked behind him with a smooth badass eyesight. His eyes opened wide he never felt such a spiritual pressure. He was scared that the person he was looking at it was capable to do a lot of things to him. It was his boss. He slowly approached him with his cat eyes looking straight to his soul and asked him: "What the hell are you doing?". Yanagi was shocked from the words of his boss. And after realising that he could lose his job… broke the detective act for the sake of his life.
It was nice feeling that a camera is always on your side and looking mysterious. It's a nice feeling based on Yanagi. But, he still the idea was stuck on his mind. How can someone steal your work? Especially when you need to access the laptop of your colleague.
On the other hand he remembered that he almost did the same. He wanted to steal the body from Asahi's laboratory. He was at the edge of the hill and wanted something to pull him out. As a result he ended to this idea he had. Out of desperation and adrenaline.
And then something snapped to his brain. Indeed he wanted to stoke the body so he could fulfil the promise he gave to his son. The duty and the adrenaline moved his heart to do something out of his ethics. That means that the same feeling can move easily someone who is more malicious than him. That's it Yanagi found the alibi of the criminal. They were the same, in order to fulfill their ambition they wanted to find a way to succeed their projects. Even stealing was a way to be done.
So that means that the criminal is someone who is the same ambitious as him. The suspect also was at the edge and was dedicated to do what ever it takes to pass he obstacles even if it means he had to steal.
That's it! That's the answer to his case. Madness, desperation, ambition. He knew this feeling. Also, he saw someone couple a months ago having a metal breakdown because his project was not going as expected. And that man had also low temper and leaded to curse inside the laboratory and disgrace his work. And that man approached him really friendly as usual. He almost thought he changed for real this time. He couldn't believed he manipulate him to earn access to the laptop without getting suspected. But now it became more easy for Yanagi. He had him in his hand. Plus, he had no idea he got caught.
Yanagi thought it would be a good idea to let him live inside his bubble for a bit until he finds a plan to pay back his action. However, he already knew that he did the same to him but with the only difference that at the end he won his work inside legal terms. Asahi will pay what he did to Yanagi. He was ready to play his game and go straight for check mate.
Yanagi didn't care about the friendship they had. He got violated. And the most important it was the first time he wanted to give to Asahi his own taste. The mirror behavor. That's what he needed. When someone does something horrible to you, you are gonna give it back. That's the mentality he should have had followed years ago.
