Poe would not enjoy this at all. He'd hate it, in fact. So, he was busy, something about the Guild and his novels, but neither you nor Ranpo really focused on that. Or cared. So now you two are stuck taking care of Karl. The problem with this is that you and Ranpo are... well... detectives, the good thing is that you two are partners, so you can both struggle with a raccoon at work.

So, Ranpo had placed Karl on his shoulder, and you two went off on a case, since Fukuzawa had asked that of you. And Karl, of course, had to join. Ranpo is studying the body, which was in a warehouse, just... lying spread out on the floor, no hints of what the cause of death could be. You're just petting Karl, who really doesn't seem to care, just carrying his little happy raccoon smile.

"Hm... I'm sure they're dead, alright."

Ranpo would say as if it was new information, even though you both knew he was stating the obvious. He seems slightly stumped, but he's trying to figure it ou, and he gives you a look, as if he's asking you politely to help... with his eyes. Karl just looked between you both before jumping down from you and walking around the body, sniffing it a bit.
