File 30 - [Locked from the Inaba Police Force//Unhackable]

[truthinfortune]

Nanako-chan is alive... He didn't kill her. Somehow, she recovered...

He's innocent. He told us everything.

All this time, he was trying to save people... not knowing that he was sending them to a place of almost certain death.

What a sad and pitiful situation. That poor man...

[Locked; Difficult to Hack]I didn't think I was capable of such

Told you everything? What exactly is everything?

[truthinfortune]

Why should I tell you anything? You obviously know a lot more about this case than you have any right to! You even knew about how people ended up in that other world long before I was able to figure it out!

Which begs the question... Who told you about the TV world?

[touchofgenius]

Because I'm curious, of course.

TV world? What are you talking about? You're crazier than I am little missy!

[truthinfortune]

Don't think I've forgotten about that little clue you gave me before, after Kanji-kun was rescued. About thinking "inside the box," to find the answer.

Not only that, you spoke to Kanji-kun before and mentioned something about people being "put inside the TV". Obviously, you slipped up.

[touchofgenius]

You want to know who the real murder is, huh?

Guess Shadows don't keep the same memories as their owners otherwise you'd know already. And you'd also know you hugged him. Hope your morals can handle that.

[truthinfortune]

...!!

What are you saying? That the culprit met with my Shadow? How would you know something like that?

[touchofgenius]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. Little Nao-kun and the murderer were totes bffs. I told you before and I'll tell you again; I know all this because I'm smart.

[truthinfortune]

But the Midnight Channel doesn't exist on other worlds! How could you have seen something like this?

...You know who the killer is, don't you? Tell me! Innocent lives are at stake here!

[touchofgenius]

Woooow you're slow. There is no chance in hell I'm telling you. So don't give me the innocent lives bullshit. You're barking up the wrong tree entirely. I'm a bit of a ruthless killer in my own right.

[truthinfortune]

You can't blame me for being persistent, can you? Even in the face of hopeless odds.

But mark my words, we will find the true culprit. Hiding behind an innocent man and making him do all the dirty work... that's the epitome of cowardice!

[touchofgenius]

Wouldn't dare blame you for that.

Well, good luck with all that. He has a habit of hiding things in plain sight.

[truthinfortune]

We won't be led astray again... Not this time. Though the truth may be enshrouded by fog... we will find our way. All of us. We'll reach out to the truth, no matter what!

[touchofgenius]

The truth is, you're not going to have the heart to arrest him. Reality sucks, kid.

[truthinfortune]

That's what you think... I won't allow my emotions to cloud my judgment on this case. Not anymore...

[touchofgenius]

No, that's what I know. Other than the murdering people thing, he's a decent guy even by your impossible-to-reach standards.

[truthinfortune]

My standards aren't impossible-to-reach. It's not asking a lot for someone not to kill people in cold blood!
