POV - Teruya

"I see why you would say that I'm the killer, Nick. It stings that you'd all turn on me like this, but I agree. In your position, I'd suspect me too..." Setsuka said, seemingly unaffected by the fact that she was now under suspicion.

She seemed to have forgot about her outburst from a minute ago.

"Anyways... What proof do you have for this baseless accusation?"

"Ah... uh..." Sora stammered.

"She's right, I'm afraid," sighed Syobai. "Other than the neck wound, I don't believe there is any evidence that Miss Chiebukuro had a hand in these murders."

"Yes... there's proof!" I said, pointing.

Logic Dive

Why did Kanade have a drop of water on her cheek?

She was drowned.

Where was Kanade drowned?

In some water.

Where is some water?

At the indoor pool.

Where were the bodies found?

In the indoor pool's changing room.

Teruya: Oh! That must be it!

BREAK!

"Hey, Suka." I spoke. "Uh, do you mind if I ask you about what you did between last night and the... double murder?" Setsuka swallowed as she nodded.

"I... I was going to use the restroom." She spoke. "Before the feud Kado encouraged me to have."

"I did ask you and Shinji to have a feud," Mikado nodded.

"Yes." Syobai nodded. "Miss Chiebukuro took on a leadership position alongside Mr. Kasai, and both of them were divided on which was the true leader."

"True." Setsuka said. "I was going to have a poop in the toilet."

While the others giggled like children at the fact that Setsuka Chiebukuro, the graceful girl known far and wide as the Ultimate Figure Skater, subverted the classic "girls don't shit/fart" memes that I've seen floating around the net, I gasped as I realized one final truth.

This is my proof that she did it!

"Hey, Setsuka?" I asked.

"What?" She said.

"Remember last night?"

"Yes?"

"Mikado asked if you should fight Shinji overnight." I said.

"True," Mikado said while Nikei brought out a camera and started making notes like crazy and taking pictures like no tomorrow with the camera.

"Well, you put two hammers in your bag..." I said.

"Oh, that?" Setsuka asked.

"I think it's quite possible that you killed Shinji with one of those hammers!"

"Wh-What?!" Setsuka choked.

"But that still doesn't explain why Kanade was killed!" Hibiki said.

"It's possible that Kanade walked in on Shinji's corpse, and Setsuka silenced her by killing her!" I spoke.

"Anyway," Nikei said. "I think Teruya is right. Kanade must have been killed after she found Shinji's body."

"Hey, Setsuka." I then asked.
