week 0 - ranpo - saturday post-trial

[completelycrazy]

[Newt is just kind of... wandering around their little corner of Shibuya after the trial. The fresh air is nice, and he's tired as hell but it's not like he's gonna be able to sleep anytime soon.

So. As luck would have it, who would happen past but one of the guys that Newt was hoping to talk to in the next couple of days. Now's as good a time as any, right? He heads over.]

Ranpo, hey. Got a minute? I've got some questions.

[ is sitting on top of the benches because there's no way that ranpo can sit on normal things like a normal person.

sup, doctor dude. he's got a lollipop sticking out of his mouth bc why not. ]

Hmmm? What kind of questions, Irezumi-san???

[ it's tattoo-san in japanese. bc y'know. ]

[completelycrazy]

[Newt stops short, frowning curiously. Guess who speaks Japanese!!

Aaanyway.]

You were pretty good in that trial. I'm glad at least some of us had our heads on straight. You're a detective by trade, aren't you? [It's not really a question.] You have much experience with, uh, stuff like this, specifically? Solving murders and arguing in trials?

[deductionary]

[ he's not guessing! the frown doesn't faze him much. ]

Yep! I'm a detective. One of the best there is. [ or he would be if he could use his super deduction, but that's op as it is so it's been nerfed. ]

Solving murders, yes. Arguing in trials, not so much.

[ head tilt. ] I work private, usually. The police department call me in when they're being exceptionally incompetent.

[ he. does not mince words. ]

[completelycrazy]

[That gets a snort out of Newt. He knows what it's like to work for authorities that are uhhhhh less than--no fuck it they're just stupid.]

So you're like Sherlock Holmes. Cool. This stuff must be cake for you then, huh?

[deductionary]

[ this is why my aim is to use this picture in as many trial tags as possible. i used it twice today!!! ]

Sherlock Holmes? [ ??? who dat. dead author anime doesn't know that, rip. ]

Eeeeehhh. It could have be easier. My Super Deduction works better when I get to view actual crime scenes, not stupid photos that are mostly selfies. It was kind of obvious nearer the end though.

[ even if they took a super roundabout way to get there. ]

[completelycrazy]

[HAHA ranpo is the hero we need tbh.]

Uh. Don't worry about it. [This "Super Deduction" thing is way more interesting than Sherlock Holmes, anyway.]

Next time, why don't you get a better look at the crime scene, then? That should save us a ton of time during the trial. I doubt it's gonna be as obvious in the future.
