File 10 - Interview with Kanji Tatsumi

Sep 18, 2009 19:26

Well, that little interview I planned with Kanji today didn't quite turn out how I expected. He really didn't know much regarding Ms. Yamano or Saki Konishi, nor did he notice anything out of the ordinary around the shop before or after Ms. Yamano's murder.

Although... he was certainly acting a bit strangely today, for some reason. More nervous than ( Read more... )

I knew that was a bad idea...

Yeah, sorry bout that... "Impeding" my ass.

W-wait! He's missing? Like, missing-missing? Fourth verse, same as the first...

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 00:29:34 UTC

Just what exactly were you trying to accomplish, anyway?

Yes. Kanji's mother put in a call to the police station around 8:00 pm this evening saying that he failed to come home from school. He and I parted ways around 6:45 pm. That means, he disappeared between those two times.

Do have any information that might lead to his whereabouts?

junesmagician September 19 2009, 00:33:52 UTC

Oh, uh. Just. You know. Stuff...

Yeah, but an insane asylum doesn't sound like the best way to spend my weekend... Sorry. I don't have any idea. I'm sure he'll turn up in a few days. Was he acting really... Un-Kanji-ish earlier by any chance?

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 00:42:29 UTC

...stuff? What sort of "stuff"?

As a matter of fact, yes, he was. When I met him outside the school gates this afternoon, he seemed particularly on edge. Nervous. As we began talking, the feeling that something was a little off about him persisted. So, I asked him straight out why he was acting so odd. At that point, his actions and behavior suddenly changed. He became unnaturally wooden and closed-mouthed. I think it was in reaction to the fact that I called him "odd". This is just a guess on my part, but I think he may have some sort of complex about being thought "odd" or "strange".

((And there's your hint for Teddie!))

junesmagician September 19 2009, 01:00:50 UTC

Just. Like. Stuff. Like, uh. We were, um. Playing hide and seek. With, uh. Souji.

Huh, that's weird. I didn't even know he cared about what people thought.

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 01:06:01 UTC

Seta-san is involved in this, as well? Now you're going to tell me that Yukiko-san is playing games, too.

Everyone cares about how others perceive them, to some degree. Some are just better at hiding it than others.

((Yeah, because you'd TOTALLY know about that, wouldn't you Naoto?))

junesmagician September 19 2009, 01:09:53 UTC

Yeah he, uh. He was it. And yeah. That's uh. She was it too.

Well, you shouldn't hide it. It's bad for you.

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 01:15:55 UTC

You still didn't answer my first question. Did you, or did you not, see Kanji Tatsumi between the time he left me and the time his mother reported him missing?

junesmagician September 19 2009, 01:29:51 UTC

Hey! It's not like we did anything to him!

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 01:34:20 UTC

I have to pursue every line of inquiry. And you still haven't given me an answer.

Perhaps Kanji-kun wasn't kidnapped. Let's say that you did meet up with him after we parted ways. He was in a distressed emotional state, which could possibly have been exacerbated to the point where leaving the area was his only option.

junesmagician September 19 2009, 01:37:25 UTC

He probably did just wander off somewhere. I mean. The murderer hasn't gone after guys yet, so this would be a serious break out of the norm for him. Besides, Kanji probably woulda kicked his ass if he tried. It's probably nothing.

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 01:41:01 UTC

While it's true that attacking a male would be breaking the pattern, there are other connections besides that between the victims thus far.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. If the suspect was able to haul a dead body up onto a television antenna and a telephone pole, that would suggest someone that's very strong. I'm not sure even Kanji-kun could handle someone like that.

junesmagician September 19 2009, 01:49:44 UTC

Yeah, I guess that's true. They all show up on TV right before they go missing, right?

Oh right. I forgot about the hauling part. Yeah... Well, I guess you're right. But uh, he's probably fine. I mean. This is Kanji we're talking about.

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 01:54:04 UTC

...yes, they do. I'm surprised that you would notice such an insignificant detail like that, Yosuke-san.

Still, I can't help but worry about him. Regardless, I can't let my personal feelings interfere with this case. I'll be making my rounds at the entrance to Junes, so should you have any more information regarding his whereabouts, please let me know.

junesmagician September 19 2009, 02:28:14 UTC

Oh. Uh. Shit! One of my friends was the second victim so I've been keeping tabs on the case.

Actually! You really don't need to come down to Junes. We've got it covered. I'll let you know if I hear anything though. Or see someone suspicious. Or whatever.

truthinfortune September 19 2009, 02:31:34 UTC

I understand. But please, leave the actual investigations to the police.

Junes is a popular meeting place and serves as a hub for local activity. It's the best place for me to meet and question individuals about Kanji-kun's whereabouts.

((Yeah, in game, you have to meet Naoto on a Thursday or Sunday in order to get the clue which allows you to access Kanji's dungeon.))
