[Back in Teito University,Physics Lab No.13]Yukawa was sitting at his seat.He looked at the bottle thoughtfully and wondered,
"Where have I smelt this before?"At that moment, Utsumi walked in. She stood near the door and saw Yukawa at his desk, deep in his thoughts.
"Omg..he looked soooo..oo..cute when he is thinking.." thought Utsumi.
When she realized what she was thinking, she slapped herself.
"Ahhh!! What am I thinking??"Utsumi walked towards him and asked, 'What are you holding?'
Startled,Yukawa asked, 'Since whe did you arrive?'
'I just arrived and saw you staring at the bottle...what is it?' asked Utsumi
'I found this at the crime scene,' replied Yukawa
'You shouldn't have taken it! You should have given it to the police!' exclaimed Utsumi
Yukawa looked at her and said 'I want to confirm some things first..The smell in it..seems familiar..'
Utsumi took the bottle and sniffed.
'Eww...it stinks!' said Utsumi, who then sneezed, and the physics professor looked at her.
'Have you caught a flu?'
'No...I guess I am just allergic to you!'
'Very funny,' remarked Yukawa sarcastically.
'Fine. Yes, I've caught the flu, happy? The chef police took my heat pack away.'
'Then why are you here for? This is not a clinic!'
'Fine, I'll go!' snapped Utsumi, turning to leave.
Yukawa wanted her to stay but did not say a word.
'Grrr...why is he not asking me to stay?' thought Utsumi.
Utsumi turned and glared at Yukawa, who seemed to be so focused on the bottle, he'd already forgotten she was still there.
Utsumi stormed out of the lab and slammed the door.
'What a petty woman she is,' thought Yukawa.
-
The physics professor stood up to make a cup of coffee. While adding sugar to his coffee, a thought suddenly struck him. He quickly called Utsumi.
[Several minutes later...]'What do you want me to do?' asked Utsumi.
'Send this to the forensic department and check what it is made of. I need to clarify some things,' replied Yukawa, handing her the bottle.
'But...this is just a bottle!'
'Look carefully and you will see a tiny piece of rock inside.'
'Huh?'
'It is not as simple as it looks. I think it is some medicine that has been chipped off. I need you to help me check what is it for and what it is made of.'
'Is it related to the case?'
Yukawa sighed at her slow observation and said, 'At the moment, I am not sure. It depends on the result first.'
'I will also need to take a look at Misa Nagashi's house,' added Yukawa.
[At Misa Nagashi's house]
'Hmmm...her house is really neat. Everything is categorised into many different sections,' remarked Yukawa, looking at the labels indicated on Misa Nagashi's cupboards.
'The police have seached her house for clues but it seems that they have not found anything,' said Utsumi.
Yukawa nodded and walked into the kitchen.
'Wow! She has everything that a high end kitchen have, and more!' exclaimed Yukawa, impressed.
'I suppose so,' agreed Utsumi.
'Oh, by the way, the police have checked her bank account. The amount of savings she has inside is just unbelievable!' gushed Utsumi.
'I'll say!'
'Huh? How do you know?'
Yukawa looked at her and shook his head.
'What?'
'With all these luxuries and a full culinary set, how can I not know?' said the physics professor matter-of-factly.
'...'
Yukawa looked around the house and although he found nothing, he still felt as though something was amiss.
