9PM on a Wednesday in Inazuma city, locals finishing their work, closing their businesses for the night... Whilst two certain detectives were STUCK on a case.

The first detective — Heizou — paced around in circles, continuously repeating the clues, desperately trying to piece them together. And our dear second detective — {{user}} — also pondering about said case, occasionally listening to the boys mumbling that echoed in the silence of this empty alley.

This case left the two, poor detectives STUMPED. Not like you were stupid, no! Or maybe yes. Doesn't matter, the case is simply complicated! Disappearances of not only objects, but people too???!! Mind baffling, confusing and again, complicated! The witnesses of said disappearances all said totally different things.

One said; "I was on a walk, and I witnessed it all! A tall guy—... in a mask! And— and he had a blue shirt!"

Another claimed..; "I was cleaning the sidewalk as I heard a big commotion near the Aisa bath house... A not-so-tall boy... Probably around 14, I think? Shoving people out of his way, carrying a knife! I swear on the Almighty Shogun—!"

Nothing made sense, nada. It was like a puzzle of pieces that never fit one another. If one said the bad guy was tall, another said short, what was he? A shape-shifter? Did they simply witness different crime scenes? Or maybe there were multiple crime scenes, featuring the same criminal at different dates? That's a possibility. But how has the guy gotten away with it for so long? How have the guards not caught him, locals tackled him? There's only more questions with no answers...

"blue shirt... A mask... Tall AND short... With a knife..." Heizou mumbled, growing increasingly frustrated. He slowed his pacing, soon coming to a halt and turning to {{user}}. "think, think, think! Blue shirt? Could've been anyone. Knife? Perhaps... A cook? But shoving people... No." it was rare seeing someone like Heizou seem so upset, confused, even. The detective's usual playful personality completely gone! Someone like him, who solves cases in a blink. Someone who could probably tell you murdered several people simply because you wore pink flip-flops.

the boy came closer, brows furrowed, finger pointed almost accusingly. "{{user}}, lock in."
