After a quiet dinner, Wataru returned to her bedroom. She found Daigo passed out, slumping against a wall, and raised an eyebrow. Well, there went her source of information. But there were definitely cameras, so…

Better to act innocent and not let them catch her!

 

“Have you discussed the investigation with him at all?” Seiyou asked.

Sakaki shook his head vehemently. “I would never disclose private police information to my family!”

Seiyou frowned, eating another chocolate bonbon.

Sakaki sighed, looking down. “Besides, I have only been home once or twice since the case started, and when I am there, I just eat dinner and go straight to bed.”

“Ah.”

 

Wataru took a seat at her desk and began to work on her literature assignment. Sakaki and Seiyou watched, but nothing else seemed to be happening. Around 10:30 P.M., she finally sighed, leaned forwards, and turned her computer on.

Seiyou leaned forwards, interested. If she were Kira, it would be evident… as long as she had pictures of condemned criminals with their names…!

It would be enough proof.

Sakaki swallowed nervously, hoping beyond hope that his daughter was innocent.

 

Wataru smiled as she logged in, before she opened up a window. Sakaki's eyes boggled as he watched her run a search for a popular actor - Karin Aoki?

She opened her Instant Messenger program and was soon engaged in a very riveting discussion on actors in a chat room. Seiyou looked at Sakaki, who shrugged helplessly, not sure what to say.

At about eleven, Wataru left the room. Seiyou and Sakaki followed her progress down to the kitchen, where she made herself a mug of hot tea and grabbed a package of snow pea crisps, before she returned to her room, shut down her laptop, and went back to her studies.

She was still writing when Utsugi burst in the room.

“Seiyou! Two criminals have just died!”

“What?”

“A convicted serial rapist who was just caught and a politician who was in custody for embezzling! They just died of heart attacks!”

“B-But that's impossible!” Sakaki said, staring at his daughter, who was still doing her homework, a snow pea crisp halfway to her mouth. “It can't be…”

“It has to be Kira.” Seiyou frowned. “But how…? Today's 10:00 P.M. news was the first time they appeared, and we know Kira needs a name and a face to kill people, but… does that mean whoever didn't see that television program isn't Kira?”

There was no answer.

 

The next morning, Hanako knocked on Wataru's door. She obligingly handed the trash bag to her mother, who took it out to the curb. Daigo watched, frowning, as she left for school.

How did you do it? I know you used my Death Note, but how?

Wataru smirked. “I hid a mini LCD television and a scrap of the Death Note in that bag of crisps. No one else likes that flavor, so I was sure they wouldn't be discovered. And now, all the evidence is gone.”

Crafty. And what now?

“Now?” Wataru smiled, feeling the pieces of Death Note sewn into her jacket. “Now we'll wait and see… poor S. I have a perfect alibi, and it's you…”

 

Back at the station, Seiyou and Sakaki exchanged wary glances.
