“This can’t be right, there has to be a mistake! You have to listen to me, Kame did not do it!” Ueda yelled at the police officer he was talking with. “Kame was with me the whole time. And why would we fly all the way to London on our only week off together in ages just so that he could kill someone” Ueda was getting hysterical, this was ridiculous. Why would they just take Kame away from him like that? A worker for the Japanese consulate stood beside him, a young English woman who apparently lived most of her life in Japan. Somehow she had managed to convince them to have a media blackout about this incident. Kame and Ueda could not afford to have their names in the press… it would cause havoc back in Japan and Johnny would surely kill them for this, possibly even kick them out the group, even if it wasn’t true.
“Together the whole time? Are you sure there is no time at all that Mr Kamenashi left your side?” The police officer, unaffected by Ueda’s shouting, said calmly.
“None” but Ueda knew it wasn’t true. Kame went to get them coffee this morning, but it was just coffee, not some extravagant exhibition to kill an old friend of his. Ueda glared at the police officer. “Let me see him” Ueda stated coldly.
Seeing Kame behind the glass with handcuffs on was one of the most painful sights Ueda had ever seen.
“Are you ok? They aren’t treating you badly are they?” Ueda asked, placing his hand on the glass. Kame placed his hand on the glass as well, if only they could touch.
“I’m ok, just a little scared.” Kame stated. Kame never said he was scared, Ueda knew, they had been through so much together. They weren’t even scared that one time when they nearly got caught together in the bathrooms once, rather drunk, back when they were young and reckless.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll realise you are innocent soon.” Ueda smiled, but he was worried, looking at it from another perspective Kame had a motive, and a chance. But it’s Kame, it’s impossible. His Kame would never do something like this.
“Kazu…” their eyes met, “You really didn’t do it, did you?” Kame shook his head.
“Of course I didn’t… don’t you trust me?” Kame asked, shocked. Ueda smiled.
“I trust you; I just wanted to hear that from you.” The police officer had walked up behind Kame and was telling him to get up, their time was up. Kame smiled weakly as he was lead out the room. Ueda’s heart pulled.
Ueda sat hunched over on the bench outside the police station. What on earth was he going to do now that Kame was being held as a suspect in the murder of Miss Andrews? One day in London and chaos had erupted, what was he going to do?
Ueda closed his eyes in frustration. How could he prove Kame’s innocence? The police seem convinced that it’s Kame. He opened his eyes again and met his dark reflection, blinking he noticed he was staring down into coffee. He glanced up to see the young woman who worked for the Japanese Consulate.
“You looked like you needed one” She said as Ueda took the cup. “If you need any favours you can ask me you know, I’m here to help you” Ueda looked at her again, she could be helpful, maybe she would know of an idea to prove Kame’s innocence.
“Can you tell me exactly why Kame has been arrested?” Ueda asked, he’s sure they would have explained things to her in more detail than to him. She smiled, taking a note pad out of her pocket. Ueda raised his eyebrow up at that.
“Ok, so they are saying that Mr Kamenashi killed Miss Andrews.” Ueda looked at her; obviously he knew that, “well, the time of murder was calculated to have been at around 6am. She was hit around the head with a tea pot, which had Mr Kamenashi’s finger prints on. The land lord stated that he had seen Mr Kamenashi and Miss Andrews arguing yesterday, he said it sounded like they were in a secret affair or something.”
“Wait, stop there.” The woman looked up from her notebook, “that’s not right. Kame and Miss Andrews weren’t fighting over an affair, they were arguing over…” Ueda trailed off… was it ok to tell her, it might be their only way of proving the witness statement as false.
“Mr Ueda?” she was prompting him to continue on. Ueda sighed.
“I was there, I ran into the landlord on my way to and from the bathroom yesterday, when I came back, Kame and Miss Andrews were arguing about… Miss Andrews revealing a secret about Kame and me. I think it was actually a misunderstanding from what Miss Andrews was saying, but Kame goes into blind rage sometimes. He calmed down over dinner though”
“… You two are dating aren’t you?” Ueda’s eyes widened, was it that obvious? He should deny it, but it’s probably the only way to clear up some misunderstandings… Ueda nodded slightly. “Don’t worry, I won’t blurt it out to the media, and call the paparazzi here. I’m here to help ok?” she said.
She stood up them, walking to the edge of the road, waving her arms at a taxi, she turned back to glance at Ueda.
“Shall we go prove your boyfriend to be innocent then?”
* * * * *
“How many times must I tell you my witness statement? Can’t you just go read your records or something?” Gary, Miss Andrew’s landlord said.
“Sorry, we aren’t with Scotland Yard, we just want to talk to you about yesterday” The young lady asked. Ueda had found out in the taxi that her name was Jade and that she had actually grown up in Osaka.
“Look, I already identified the guy, wasn’t hard, not many pretty faced Japanese kids running around here. Looks to me like they were having some kind of affair, and things were going funny. Probably has a girlfriend or a wife back in Japan.” The guy glanced at Ueda, pausing on him briefly. “Have we met before?” Ueda raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, yesterday. Right after you met my boyfriend and caused whatever argument they had” Ueda stated coldly, something wasn’t right. Why was this guy lying right to his face?
“Oh now you’re going to claim that you were there too. I don’t remember seeing you. Sorry kid, looks like your … boyfriend has become a murderer.” Was it just Ueda, or had the guy gone slightly paler… He looked at Jade, who glanced back. Ok he wasn’t the only one who noticed.
“You said you found the body this morning and then called the police, what time was that?” Jade continued asking, jotting random things down in her notebook.
“Around 7, police said that she was killed around 6. I was at my friend’s place last night; you can ask him if you want. Found her when I came back. Had to talk to her about the rent.”
“At 7am?”
“She gets up early”
“Right… Ok, that’s all for now, we’ll talk to you later if we have any more questions.” Jade smiled, dragging Ueda away with her as she left the man’s doorstep.
“Sounds like he’s covering something up to me, why would he tell us his alibi without us asking for it?” Ueda pointed out, “things just don’t match up in his story.”
“Well… let’s see what the crime scene shows” Jade grinned at him…
“Wait, are we even allowed to see that? Isn’t it off limits?” Jade just grinned at him, before walking right under the police tape, and in the front door of Miss Andrews’ home. Ueda was in shock, how did she do that?
The scene was… sickly. There was a chalk outline of where they had found Miss Andrews’ body. Tea across the carpet, with a slightly darker shade that Ueda tried to tell himself wasn’t blood. There seems to have been a bit of a squabble in the apartment as various things were knocked over.
Jade seemed to pounce into action as she knelt down and carefully inspected various things, talking to the police officers about their deductions from things. Ueda glanced around, Kame couldn’t have done this, Kame wasn’t a violent person. How could they get wrapped up in something like this, and why was Kame being framed.
Granted Kame was missing this morning, and had an argument with Miss Andrews, and his fingerprints were on the tea pot.
Ueda looked at the tea pot…
“Ah!” people stared at him in the room. “Yesterday, Miss Andrews served us tea in that tea pot. Kame was pouring the tea when Miss Andrews was fetching other things from the kitchen.”
“That would explain why his finger prints are on the tea pot.” Jade pointed out, she then noticed the guy next to her smiling.
“Would also explain why the finger prints are only on the handle. The way the tea pot broke suggests that the person had a hold of the stout as well… but there are no finger prints on the stout. My superior brushed it off saying it was just my imagination.”
Ueda grinned, they were getting somewhere. But that surely wouldn’t be enough to prove Kame’s innocence. He glanced around again, there must be something they are all missing.
That’s when Ueda spotted it.
