INFAMOUS
Truly Villains

That night in front of the night minimarket. We searched for hours. But the search did not yield any results. I originally wanted to say something about the previous clue item that was missing. But I won't tell them, except my own close friend.

My trust in new people is starting to fade. Finally that night, everyone went home without finding a single clue.

Next morning. I got a notification in my email. After I read it on my computer, it turned out to be a message from inspector Steve.

I was surprised to see the message. Turns out Leo asked me to meet him in jail. There was no reason why he wanted to see me. However, if my name is already mentioned. That must be important.

After school after school. I'm at the police station where Leo is being held. I don't know why Leo asked me to meet him. Regarding Elsa's case, I have no other leads after the disappearance of the first clue.

Forget the Elsa case for a second. I wonder what Leo wants to say.

...[.BIIIIPPPPPPP]...

I went into Leo's cell. I saw him sitting there waiting for me.

"B . . .Leo?" i greeted him.

"Before that, were you given Nico's time?" said Leo.

"just 10 minutes."

"Then I'll just go to the point."

"O . . . okay" I'm sitting opposite Leo.

Leo looked left and right and around the room. Then he started talking.

"Niico."

"Yes?"

Leo's face looked serious. "Do you believe that I was actually framed by someone?"

"Eh?" i'm appalled.

...[.On the other side]...

Akira exited the elevator. He's on his way to my apartment. Then he pressed my apartment bell.

...[.TINGGGGGG]...

After a long wait, someone finally opened the door.

Akira reflexes say hello. "Hello adikk-"

"Eh, brother Akira?" hello Hana.

Akira was shocked for a moment. "Lohhh, you're Nico's girlfriend, aren't you?"

"B . . How did he know? nico and I recently dated!?" Hana was even more surprised. "Hehe i . . .iya."

"Good, am I interrupting? if so, I'll add it" joked Akira.

"Hahahaha, it's better for senior to enter first" Hana invited Akira.

They both went inside. Sit in the living room of Nico's apartment. But after sitting down, the two of them were quiet with each other. But when there's something they want to talk about,

"I want to ask."

"I want to ask."

They both talk together.

"Eh, yasudah senior first."

"Eh, you're first."

And it happened again.

"Did?"

"Did?"

Because it is made confused. Akira started first. "Well, what are you doing in Nico's apartment? besides, where's Nico?"

"Nico's out of the house after school, and I'm here to clean up the house. That's all."

"Huuuu . . . . ideal wife is different" Akira envied.

"Haha, not so. Now what's senior here?"

"I'm just bored. Wanting to bother Nico I think it's fun. But if I knew he wasn't here, it was bored" Akira complained.

"Wasn't that boring? hihihi" Hana's little laugh.

Akira looked at Hana's face. "Well, if there's no one . . . ." Akira holds Hana's arm. "How about just bothering her boyfriend?"

"Aaaaaa don't!!!" cananda Hana's.

They both ended up in my apartment. I didn't even know Akira was coming. But if he did tell me, I wasn't home either.

Just come back to me.

"B . . How can it be?" i'm appalled.

"After about a month, I finally ventured to say this. Although I haven't explained it to the police, I'm asking you to help me get me out of this place."

"Can I trust you?" suspect me.

"I'm not forcing you to believe. But I am telling you this fact. It's almost my fault, too, because I hesitate to explain this."

"Just say it" I said.

Leo sighed. "There's been someone who framed me all this time."

"Yes I know, sil-"

"And that guy I think is from Class A."

"Eh?"

"Did you remember someone who terrorized me until I suffered every night?"

"I . .iya . . . "

"It's not a joke."

I'm a little confused. "T . . but the time was when-"

"Yes, that's right I'm going to hit you. But someone manipulated me to eliminate you."

"I can't believe" I'm a little bit in disbelief.

"Do you believe what I'm saying right now or not. But, I entrusted you with this!" Leo is getting serious again.

"Take everything out Leo" I said.

"The person who hit Toure with a blunt object at that time around my house, it wasn't me."

I'm still listening.

"Toure may have been hit by the manipulator who had terrorized my house. But the perpetrator seemed to take something from my house, and then he dropped it around Toure lying down so he thought I had hit him."

"How did you know Toure?" my wonder.

"Investigating police explaining the chronology and the evidence."

"Inspector Steve and Miya for sure."

"Until the manipulator finally left me at that place when I was arrested."

"Wait a minute . . Did he tell you?"

Leo was silent for a moment. He held his head like he was feeling sick. "That damn thing managed to threaten me!"

I turned to the cctv to make sure that what Leo said was all recorded. "Continue."

"He threatened to burn my house down after he sneaked into my house!"

"How can you?"

"He left a letter on the table. A letter of threat. If I don't want to obey him, then the house will be immediately triggered by fire."

"And how could he burn your house down, right?" pinta.

"Afriction . . . ."

"Eh?"

"I smell the pungent gasoline in my house."

"That's crazy!"

"Yes. Literally, I didn't want to care at first. However, it seems like there is still life that I still have to go through until now!"

...[.BIIIIPPPPPPP]...

Time is up. The officer asked me to get out of his cell. I still want a lot of information from him. It could have been the perpetrator behind all this, also related to the disappearance of Elsa.

And it's probably that guy, "It's one of them!"

"Mikhail Nico, your time is up. Please get out of this cell" the officer said.

I walked out of the room. Leo called me, though,

"Naico!"

I didn't look back. But I stopped without seeing it.

"I'm not forcing you to believe! all decisions are in your hands!"

After that, I walked out of the cell.

Before I go home. Up next. I'm going to go see inspector Steve and Miya who must have been monitoring him earlier in the cctv room. Almost all the information I've got.

Just search.
