The old man nodded, and in those moments, their suspicion was confirmed. Scorpio looked at the corpse of Mrs. Bonnie Javier, "I saw traces of the drug in her blood. Amitriptyline."Nico's vast knowledge of medicinal drugs came in handy. 'When you're a professional detective, you need to read a lot of books,' he smirked, "Amitriptyline ... is commonly used in sleeping pills. But in the patient's history document obtained, Mrs. Javier has no insomnia. "Scorpio nodded and removed his latex gloves, "Exactly. It's amazing how high the concentration of the sleeping pill in his blood is.

Nico nodded, "You can be anyone without people recognizing who you really are. Clever, indeed."Nova averted her eyes, a little uncomfortable with the compliment. Did he hear right? Is Detective Nico really praising him? It's refreshing.It's Tuesday. Two days from when they received the case. The two detectives know that if they want to catch Heartless Killer, they need to cease-fire from their verbal attacks.'Still, she better not get in the way of my own investigation,' the young man thought bitterly before handing Nova a copy of Mrs.'s autopsy reports. Bonnie Javier. Nova wasted no time and read them."We see him with amitriptyline in his blood. High doses of it, actually."Nova looked up, "That sleeping pill used as an anti-depressant drug?""Yup. The serial killer probably used its effects to his advantage.""So no one heard that Mrs. Javier's neighbors were weird. He killed her while she was unconscious.""Exactly," Nico leaned back on the bench and discarded the dried leaves

Special Agent Briannova Carlos just frowned as Nico drove the vehicle. From the corner of her eye, she can see the triumphant look on his face. 'Sly detective! If he thinks he can charm his way with me in this case, then he better think again! ' He sighed in his mind. Oh, how will they ever get along?"Remind me to punch you the next time you smile at me like that," he said annoyed as he watched the passing mansions in Eastwood Heights."Why should I remind you if I'm the one who's aggrieved? Very unprofessional, Ms. Carlos."'Very unprofessional ?! Gosh! Can HK be targeted with a 'to ?!'Nova took in a deep breath and tied her long pink hair up in a ponytail. They are close to Lelouch's mansion. He tries to put aside what he feels.

Eastwood General Hospital8:00 a.m.Minnesota has been restless before. 'I've only just seen him like this,' he thought as he turned to his busy friend with whom he was texting. How many times have you texted them? "It looks like you and Renzo are dating again."Renzo is Feralda's three -year relationship. Min has known the two for a long time but only now has he seen Fe so happy. To his knowledge, Fe and Renzo had a fight last week. How are they again? Or maybe ..."Renzo isn't the one you're texting."At what Minnesota said, Feralda stopped and nervously turned to him. "A-What? What are you saying there, friend?" Minnesota became even more frustrated when he tried to hide his cellphone. She's not a detective, but she can see through Feralda's lies."Don't lie to me anymore. Who else are you kidding?"Feralda averted her eyes, still stubborn. "No. Why are you bothering me?""Because you're my friend. Is that enough reason?"Feralda just sighed and pocketed the cellphone. He smiled sp

Nova rubbed her wrist. The handcuffs left faint marks on her skin. She sighed. 'Well, at least Lelouch didn't catch Nico sneaking into the mansion.' He didn’t know what hocus-pocus his partner was doing. How could that one hide so quickly? ‘Maybe with a Ph.D. to being a house-climbing one 'that!' He would not be surprised.Nonetheless, she was relieved when Lelouch returned a few minutes later, an apologetic smile on his face. He silently laid the boa constrictor on the adjacent sofa and removed Nova's handcuffs.'Weird.'Now here they are drinking tea. Nova sat cross-legged in front of him, the giant snake wrapped around the coffee table's leg. Moments later, the lawyer spoke. "I apologize for my behavior earlier, Nova. Ever since I found Mrs. Javier's head in our yard, I've feared that the killer would return." Then, he gave her one of his boyish smiles again.Nova smiled, "You're calling me that again."The lawyer frowned, "Calling you what?""Nova."Lelouch averted his gaze, sligh

DEATH's headquarters, Eastwood3:08 p.m."Yuki! How are you ?! You know, I just got back from the hospital, then I saw those two chicks at Sasha's party, Feralda and Minne ---!"Even before Dan could finish what he was about to say, Nico quickly closed the door of his office. He can still hear Dan's faint voice from outside, blabbering about unimportant things. The young detective just sighed. "How could talk faster than high speed train?"He wouldn't really be surprised if Dan could be blown away by his speech. This own words would choke him, and that isn't a very noble cause of death for a detective. Nico made a mental note to investigate whether it was possible or not. 'For now, I need to sort out some things.'But when he sat in his swivel chair, his ringtone immediately disturbed him. Nico sighed and grabbed his phone, not bothering to check the caller ID. He already knew who it was. Why did he become a detective?"Uncle X," Nico reluctantly answered the call."I changed the numb

Carlos' residence4:49 a.m."Sis?""....""Sis?!"Nirvana's voice broke her out of her reverie. Nova immediately turned to the younger sister who had been calling her earlier. She smiled, "Why?" At the same time, she straightened her pink hair. While she braided her hair, the little girl scowled. "You've been stunned before. What are you thinking?"Nirvana can be a bit bitchy sometimes --- mana sa ate, of course.'I've been thinking about what I would do if my ex was Heartless Killer', but he couldn't say that to his brother. First, Nirvana did not meet Lelouch. Second, it would just get too awkward. Nova just sighed and looked at her sister in its reflection in the mirror. "I'm just thinking about work.

From his seat, he watched the swift action of the two detectives, sheilding the witness away, trying to escape the wrath of the explosion.'It took them long enough to discover the bomb,' the man thought and pocketed the bomb detonator.Heartless Killer leaned against the wall and watched the chaos. Although only a few were affected by the explosion, he reminded himself he had not done it to kill. The bomb was merely a precaution, intending to "clean" the crime scene.

His skin particles would still be there, thanks to the filthy scratch he got from her.So he dissolved his fingers in muriatic acid.'But I need to make sure. Especially since I tortured her alive. 'Because he was paranoid that he might still get DNA samples from the victim's body, he thought of adding a
