Kamei's Dream Factory
13:38“Don't say those words again!” she shouted. Everyone in the factory turned around to see what was happening between those two. They were having a discussion.
“But it's true, Sudou-san! I'm telling you the true!” the other girl exclaimed, sending a pout to the other. “Please, believe me!”
“I won't!” she turned around and looked at the others, and giving out a sigh, she said: “If you say those words again, I'll kill you”
She put on her jacket and she went out from the room, whispering something angrily. The other girl just stayed there, staring at the ceiling, asking herself about what she did to made Sudou-san got angry.
“Sudou-san...”
…
“This is my chance... I'm sorry, Maasa Sudou"

Nakazawa&Co. Lawyer Office
10:32“Ah... My head hurts...” I muttered as I joined the lawyer office. “I can't believe it's already Monday... Another boring work day...”
“Shimizu-sama!” someone exclaimed cheerfully near my ear.
“Ah, Momoko, it's you...” I sighed “I have headache, so please, don't shout when you're near me... okay?”
“Oh, I'm sorry” she said, speaking quietly.
“Have you seen my assistant today?” I asked her.
“Your... assistant?” she scratched her head thoughtfully.
“Yes, a girl with two long legs, a cheerful smile, two bright eyes, black hair...” I described her while Momoko started to laugh quietly. “What's so funny?”
“You talk about her like if she were your girlfriend or the woman of your dreams” she smiled.
“What the?! She's just my assistant!” I exclaimed, shocked with the idea.
“If you say so...” she muttered as she went to her office.
I took a coffee from the coffee machine and I went to my office as I thought about where my assistant was. I started to read the newspaper until someone arrived, exclaiming cheerfully.
“GOOD MORNIING SHIMIZU-SAMA!”
“AH!” I shouted, surprised and shocked with her appearance.
“Sorry, I surprised you?” she asked, giving out an smirk.
“I don't think so... you have just make my heart beat faster... Maybe it's a heart attack, but it's okay...” I sighed weakly.
“He, he, he, you're funny as always, Shimizu-sama!” she smiled at me. “I have something that will cheer you and make you smile as me!” she pointed her smile with one of her fingers.
“The head of Takahashi?”
“Again, no!” she sighed “You always ask the same, Shimizu-sama...”
“So, what is it?” I asked with curiosity.
“It's something better” she smiled again. “I have a case for you!”
She gave me an envelope that I opened quickly. “Wow, it's a crime!” I exclaimed. I have always love crime cases.
“Yurina told me to give you this case because she isn't able to protect the defendant” she explained.
“Why?” I rose my both eyebrows.
“Because she is actually
dating her” she grinned at me.
“Eh?! Kumai is dating a girl?” I exclaimed, putting my hands on my head.
“What's the problem? Liking girls is a normal thing!” she gave me a pat on my back. “I also like girls”
“What...?” I blushed a little. “Anyway... What is the case about?”
“Get ready because here comes the super-summary of Maimi Yajima!” she exclaimed energetically. “The defendant, Maasa Sudou is accused of murdering Kikkawa Yuu. The victim died by a bullet in her back, and the police found the gun at Sudou's box office. There's no traces on the gun because she cleaned it after using it”
“So that's why everyone thinks that Maasa is the killer, right?” I asked, and after seeing her nod, I added “And when is the trial?”
“Tomorrow” she smiled.
“What?! Tomorrow?! We have to start the investigation right now!” I stood up and I put on my jacket “Where was the crime?”
“At the Kamei's Dream Factory” she took my coffee and drank a little.
“Kamei's Dream Factory?” I asked as I rose my brows again.
“Yes, it's a doll fabric!” she smirked “They manufacture all types of dolls”
“Ah... It's strange, isn't it?” I muttered. “At a dream factory, a crime happened...”
“So, now it's Kamei's Nightmare Factory!” she laughed. “Let's go there!”
“No, no, we have to speak with Maasa Sudou first” I said.
“Ooh... I wanted to see the factory...”
“We'll go later, okay?”
“Okay” she smiled once again “Let's go, Shimizu-sama! We have a lot of work!”

Police Station, Detention Room n.5
11:12“It's here” I whispered as I entered the room. I turned around and looked at my assistant, who was still looking at me. “Yajima-san?”
“...”
“Something happens?” I asked.
“It's the first time I'm here” she said.
“It'll be fine” I sighed. “I have been here a lot of times. Don't worry”
“Okay...” she muttered while she joined the room.
We sat at the front of the weak girl who was at the other side of the glass.
“Good morning, Sudou-san” Maimi started.
“Good... morning...” she waved weakly.
“Sudou-san... we know that you didn't do anything to the victim, so don't be afraid”
“Ah...” she looked at us “You are that famous lawyer... Saki Shimizu, aren't you?”
“Yes I am” I answered.
“Wow!” suddenly her mood changed. “Yurina is always talking about you! You are a hero!” she gave out a smile as she said the name of her girlfriend. “So I don't have to be worried anymore”
“Please, tell us everything about the victim” Maimi asked.
“Oh, right” she sighs thoughtfully. “She was a great girl, we were good friends. She was good at kanjis as me, she loved writing with a lot of kanjis and she also knew writing really fast.” She started looking for something in her pockets. “I think that I have a photo of her...” She took out a paper from her pocket and showed it to us.
“Umm... she was left-handed, right?” I asked as I looked at the photo. In the picture you could see the victim writing with a brush. “Can we take it as a clue?”
“Of course” she said, giving it to a guard who was in the room.
“What were you doing when the crime happened?” Maimi asked as she took the photo from the hands of the guard.
“I finished my work at half past two and I went to a restaurant. I stayed there until four o'clock.” she explained.
“Mmmh... Can you tell us the name of the restaurant?” I asked as I looked again at the photograph.
“Okay, the name of the restaurant is 'La bella España'. It's near the factory” she said.
“Oh, a German restaurant?” Maimi asked. I slap my face with my hands.
“No, it's a Spanish restaurant” Maasa corrected.
“Okay, nothing else, Sudou-san” I said. “Thank you for everything. We'll see you tomorrow”
“Thank you” she waved back.
“But we didn't ask her anything at all!” Maimi moaned.
“We have enough information” I said as we left the room.

Kamei's Dream Factory
11:56“Mmh...” I searched the room “The police is already gone”
“Yes” Maimi muttered. “We need to hurry if we want to find something”
We started looking for clues, but we didn't find anything. “Isn't that strange?”
“What do you mean?” Maimi asked.
“There isn't blood here at the crime scene...”
“Maybe the police cleaned it before leaving” she scratched her forehead.
“You are just stupid if you think like that” someone said. We turned around and we looked at her. I was really surprised... what was she doing there?
“Natsuyaki-san!” I exclaimed as I pointed her with my hand. “W-w-w-what are you doing here?”
“You must know it, stupid...” she smirked “I'm going to the fiscal of this case”
“What?!” I was really shocked. I looked at my assistant and I noticed that she wasn't paying attention. She was staring at the eyes of the girl who was beside Natsuyaki-san.
“You have heard it already, right?” she sighed. “I'm going to repeat it anyway... I'm-going-to-be-the-fiscal-of-this-case!” She looked at the girl who was beside her, and she also noticed that those two weren't mentally with us. “Stop staring!”
“I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-sorry N-N-Natsuyaki-san” she muttered.
“She's really shy...” I whispered.
“How cute...” Maimi said under her breathe as she smiled.
“This is my assistant... or something like that” Natsuyaki crossed her arms angrily.
“Ah... You have an assistant too?” I asked.
“Yeah... I hate that girl, but my boss forced me to support her...” she said. “The same as you, I think...”
“Not really...” I muttered. “We are like... friends”
“You continue being stupid as always...” she sighed. “Anyway... the police didn't clean the blood”
“So who cleaned it?” I asked, crossing my arms too.
“My assistant cleaned it” she pointed the poor girl.
“I-I-I-I have b-b-b-blood on my hands...” she muttered, showing us her red hands.
“Poor cute girl...” Maimi whispered under her breathe.
“Natsuyaki-san!” I shouted. “That's illegal!”
“It isn't illegal if the police tell you to do it” Natsuyaki said.
“The police told you to clean it?” I rose my both brows, without believing her words.
“Well, they wanted to wash it but we insisted on cleaning it” she explained before looking at her watch. “Hey, stupid girl, let's go! We have to speak with someone!” She turned at us with an smirk “See you tomorrow, Shimizu Saki”
“Good bye!” Maimi waved Natsuyaki's assistant with a smile on her face as they left the room. “She is really beautiful, isn't she?”
“If you say so...” Suddenly, I saw something on the floor. I bent down and I picked it. “Isn't that...?”
“Yeah, it looks like a ring” Maimi said.
“Not only a ring... an engagement ring” I muttered. “It has something written...”
“You're right...” She tried to read it “Kame...i Yumiko...”
“Kamei Yumiko?” I asked myself.
“Kamei Yumiko... Isn't that the name of a doll?” Maimi scratched her head again.
“I'll call Momoko and tell her to search it on the Internet” I said, taking out the phone from my pocket.
After a while, we had all the information about Kamei Yumiko. She's the daughter of the director of the fabric, Eri Kamei. Her father died when she was just three years old. And it seems that someone wanted to marry her.
“This isn't something helpful...” I muttered.
“Save it! Who knows, maybe it's a big clue!” Maimi exclaimed.
“Okay...” I saved it on my pocket. “Well, let's go to the Spanish restaurant”
“I want to eat a paella!”
“Maimi! We are working!” I noticed that I was hungry too. “Ok, we'll eat and ask them about Maasa”
“He, he, he, you are great, Shimizu-sama!” she smiled.

La Bella España Restaurant
13:15“I thought that the restaurant would be far away...” Maimi said, surprised.
“Maasa told us that it's near the factory, remember?” I sighed. “Anyway, let's ask that waiter about her.”
We walked up to the waiter and he cheerfully greeted us. “Do you want to eat? How many people?”
“Sorry, we aren't here to eat...” I showed him a photograph of Maasa. “Have you ever seen that girl?”
“Oh! She ate here yesterday with a friend” he smiled at us.
“A friend...?” Maimi muttered.
“Can you describe the girl who was with her?” I asked.
“Hm, the girl who was with her was really tall... and her hair was black... Oh! And her skin was brunette”
“That's Kumai!” Maimi exclaimed, smiling.
“Why Maasa didn't tell us that she was with her girlfriend?” I asked myself.
“I don't know...” Maimi put one of her hands on her chin.
“We must go back to the police station and ask her”
28th of April, 2008
Police Station. Detention Room n. 5
13:56“Shimizu-sama, I'm really hungry!” Maimi moaned.
“I promise you that after asking her we'll go to a restaurant...” I sighed.
“He, he, he, thank you, Shimizu-sama!” she smiled again as we joined the room.
“Hey! It's you again, Shimizu and...” Sudou-san pointed my assistant “What's your name?”
“I'm Maimi Yajima” she said.
“Oh, right!” she smirked “I thought you weren't going to come again”
“Yes, but we have something to ask you, Sudou-san” I said. “You told us that you went to a restaurant after finishing your work, but, you didn't tell us that you were with Kumai-san...” I explained. “Can you tell us why?”
“Eh? I didn't tell you? I thought I did...” she whispered. “I'm sorry...”
“It's okay” Maimi said. “Ne, Shimizu-sama, she just forgot it! Can we go to the restaurant now?”
“Wait a second, please” I muttered “Can we ask you more questions, Sudou-san?”
“Of course!” she smiled.
“Right... why do you think that everyone thinks that you are the killer?”
“Because before the crime I had a discussion with her. She thought that Kumai wasn't a good girl for me, so I tell her that if she said those words again, I would kill her...” she explained.
“I see...” I sighed. “But you didn't kill her.”
“Of course I didn't! Yuu was one of my best friends!” she shouted angrily.
“Calm down, we believe you” Maimi said.
“Okay, I think it's clear” I muttered. “Maasa isn't the killer, but the real murderer wanted, for some reason, that Maasa looked like it putting the gun on her box office... But... who?”
