Chapter 1'Yukawa Sensei!!'
"Ah..not again" thought Yukawa Manabu.
This is the nth time that he heard this voice calling for him this 2 years.
That is Utsumi Kaoru, a young impulsive policewoman.
Ever since Kusanagi introduce him to her,she had been asking him to help her in the police investigations.
Which he is not interested in.
'Yukawa Sensei,I am so glad that you have not left yet!' said Utsumi
'I have regretted on staying back for a little while' said Yukawa
Utsumi stuck out her tongue at him and continued
'Yukawa sensei, I have something that I can't solve it,can you help me? The police...'
'I am not interested in helping you.'
Yukawa interrupted and turned his back to her to make a cup of coffee.
Utsumi slammed her hand on to the cover of the coffee tin and glared at him.
Her hand was on top of his.
Yukawa felt a sudden shock that sends a tingling sensation to his heart.
The lab suddenly feels a little warmer.
Utsumi snatched the tin away and said
'Just listen to me first! The police had found a body or rather...'
Yukawa snatches back the tin of coffee and said
'You can say all you want but must you take my coffee away? Does it helps you to speak more fluently?'
'....'
'And I have told you that I am not interested.'
'But...you got to help me! Because nobody would believe this because it is impossible! How can a body be reduce into a skeleton in just half and hour?'
'Impossible? Nothing is impossible,In US an undertaker,Marie Deliton was pushing a dead body to the mortuary, when she felt a sudden urge to go to the toilet and when she came back,the body is gone and in replace is the clothes of the deceased which he was wearing at that moment.And in Indonesia,Mr Demerto was mourning for this dead wife in a funeral when he just left the side of the coffin to get a drink and when he return,he found the body gone and in replace there is a skeleton wearing his wife clothing and jewelleries..'said Yukawa.
Utsumi looked shocked but is pleased that Yukawa is finally interested in the case.
She thought
:" It had been such a long time since I last saw him..ever since that incident,I wanted to come and visit him but I have no excuses..."Utsumi's memory flashed back to a few months ago, to the scene when Ishigami, Yukawa's longtime friend and a mathematician genius, confess to his crime. When she went back to the visiting room, she saw Yukawa crying.It was the first time seeing 'Detective Galileo' cum physics genius crying.And at that moment she felt a sudden urge to rush forward to give him a hug and comfort him.
'so, where did the police found this disappearing body?' said Yukawa, interrupting her thoughts.
Utsumi blushed at the thought and told him the place,'and the police had found the skeleton's identity, It belongs to Misa Nagashi,a 65 years old lady.'
"Oh,it was the same area that Ishigami killed his victim.."thought Yukawa
"Ahh..what an idiot I am! I forget that is around the same area that Ishigami's victim was found! Ah!! Stupid,stupid,stupid!!" thought Utsumi, slapping her own head.
'What are you doing?' said Yukawa,trying not to thing about the incident.
'Ah? erm nothing..sorry,I did not notice that its the same area where...Ah!!! I am so sorry!!' Utsumi said and bow down her head.
'Oh, its ok..'said Yukawa.
'erm..Yukawa sensei, are you ok?'
'what do you mean by this?'
'ermm..nothing..'
'just say it'
'Are you feeling better now? I know that incident had caused you alot of pain and if you need help or anything, you can come to me.I can help you! Or if you need a crying shoulder,I can lend you mine!' Utsumi blurt out and immediately regret it.
She felt the lab is getting warmer and warmer...
She lift her head upwards abit and took a peek at the back of Yukawa's newly frozen form.
'Oh,erm..It's ok' said Yukawa, thinking to himself that he will need to lower down the temperature of the air conditioner or he must get someone to fix it as it maybe malfunctioning....
'Yukawa sensei ......'
'.....'
'so,what else did the police managed to find about this Misa Nagashi?'said Yukawa,trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
'oh..err..Mdm Misa Nagashi lives alone and it was said that she did not have any relatives.She rarely talk to her neighbours too.According to Mrs Yasaki,one of her neighbour,that Mdm Nagashi is quite rich.This is because Mrs Yasaki went to Mdm Nagashi's house to borrow a ladder from her when one her light bulb had blown.She stated that her house had everything that a rich lady would have.'
'And every morning around 10am to 11 am, she will take a walk around the park.It was around 2pm when the witness jogged by and saw her body lying there.The police than arrived 1/2 hour later.'said Utsumi
'Why did the witness not stayed next to the body and wait till the police arrive?' asked Yukawa.
'According to the witness,he said that after he made the report, he felt a sudden urge to go to the toilet,which is quite a distance from the scene of crime.'explained Utsumi
'And it is quite impossible for another person or the murderer to come back and replace the body with a skeleton...and how on earth he or she get her skeleton?'added Utsumi
'Nothing is impossible,everything that happens has a reason....'
'Ok,ok..so how are you going to explain this?'said Utsumi,irritated
'Not a slightest clue' replied Yukawa,with a smile
Utsumi rolled her eyes
[At the scene of crime]'So,this is where the body was found' Utsumi pointed to the area marked with a chalk.
Yukawa walked towards the marked area and took a look.
'This Misa Nagashi was quite obese,I guess...' Yukawa said with a smile.
'...can't you give some basic respect for the dead?' scolded Utsumi,frowning
'What are her health records?'
'You are so rude!'
'No,I am being serious here'
Utsumi glared at him and said,'She have no health problems and she does not smoke or drink,but a neighbour told me that she had fainted a few months ago and he sent her to the hospital.But when she woke up, she requested to be discharged and insisted that she had fainted purely because she had forgotten to have her breakfast before exercising.She also refused to allow the doctor to do a full body checkup on her.'
'Ahh..I see...'
'Why do you want to know about her health status?'
'Oh,Just wanted to know...'
'...'
Yukawa walked around the area and suddenly,he noticed that there is a small glass bottle lying around the bush.In the bottle,there was a tiny piece of rock.He picked up the bottle and opened it.It smelled weird.But somehow,the smell smelt familiar and rang a dim bell in his mind.But he couldn't recall what the smell was.He quickly pocketed it as Utsumi walked towards him.
'Found anything interesting?' Utsumi queried
Yukawa stood up,looked around and replied,'Not yet'
He wandered around the area and went near the ralings,looking out to the sea.
He inhaled deeply and said,'mmm...the air here is so fresh...'
Utsumi glanced at his back and thought :"
=p >~<"Utsumi wandered around the crime scene and glanced around,she did not get a chance to scrutinize the scene in depth then as the police chief had disallowed her to do so.
She noticed a patch of weird stains on the floor around 100m away from the 'body'.
She found it rather familiar....
It seems that she had seen it somewhere before...
'OH!' exclaimed Utsumi
Yukawa turned and looked at her
'I think I had seen those stains when I was walking towards here! It was around the garbage chute near a factory!'
'Why is it found here too?' she wondered,puzzled
Yukawa walked towards her and examined those stains
'So..did you discover anything?' asked Utsumi
'I have not a slightest idea.Hahahaha...'
'.....'
(again...-_-"|)
