I'll Take A Pair Of Glasses, And WEAR THEM!!!
“Light Turner.“ L added a tirdeenth sugar cube to his cup of coffee.
“The Knottingham Trent Quidditch captain is Kira? What makes you say that?” Kakashi asked, putting down the erotica novel his class was covering that semester.
He’d been sitting in the cafeteria with Shanks, Hawkeye and Ace when the famous detective, L, and the Astrology student, Ranpo, had approached them.
Ace was Shanks' nephew. The young man was an exceptionally handsome lad. He was obviously too sexy for a shirt, so was wearing just knee length black shorts and a red beaded necklace, as well as an orange hat on his head. His hotness wasn’t just physical – it was also physiological with his flame-flame powers.
“I am L. I just know these things.“
Everyone at the table but Ranpo nodded, accepting that.
Ranpo was paying no attention to the conversation going on. He was distracted by how little he cared.
“Also the term he uses for himself isn’t Kira, it’s Kiwi. He probably spelt it wrong.”
L thought back to the message ‘Kiwi' had left for him, through the last three victims. ‘El, did u no shinugrammy luv appels and jelyfish. Kiwi xx'
“However I did have a few questions. You may consider these unrelated. Shu Koibitchy… How exactly did he die?” L turned his piercing gaze on Shanks.
“Well I took a chair from the cheeseboard and pierced his heart with one of the legs, before throwing him in a landfill,” replied the Astrology teacher.
“I see.” L considered that, before turning to Ranpo. “Time to go to Specsavers.“
. . .
“Can we take these off now, Ritzki?”
“Ryuzaki. And no.” L had had to handcuff Ranpo to himself to keep him from getting lost. For someone who had lived in the city of Oxbridge for so many years, Ranpo had no clue where anything was and had a penchant for getting lost. He was also of the habit of keeping his eyes closed for some reason.
They had just entered Specsavers. L picked up a random frame from the selection and handed it to Ranpo. It was red with pink hearts on it.
“Just put these on. I want to observe something.”
Ranpo scowled, not liking being bossed around, or the handcuff cutting into his wrist, or having to help solve this easy (well easy if he’d had his glasses) case. Reezki could solve it himself. He could eat all of Fukuzawa’s Smarties and he could even earn Fukuzawa’s praise…. No… His eyes opened then widened. He couldn’t let that happen. That praise was for Ranpo alone.
He accepted the glasses, knowing what he had to do. When he put them on, he imagined a bright white light surround him as his ability was activated.
“You asked about Shu because the first murder was done by him and you believe the ones that followed were all his doing too.”
L nodded. “Light Turner is carrying them out but he’s being manipulated by Shu. At least that’s the theory. Now, how would a dead man be able to kill people from beyond the grave?”
“He’s been brought back to lyfe. That is the only explanation.”
“Precisely. Glasses really do increase your deductive skills.” L reached out and took the glasses off.
“Now tell me, how are the murders being carried out?” He continued
Without the glasses, Ranpo just shrugged and turned, ready to wander around, forgetting he was still handcuffed to L.
“And without glasses, you have no deductive skills,” observed L. He held them out again for Ranpo to take. It wasn’t very often he had the opportunity to talk to someone actually intelligent. Sometimes he felt like he was surrounded by Leorios and Matsudas. Ranpo was an idiot without the frames, but with them, L could actually consider him an equal.
“Kiwi needs a face and a name to commit murders,” announced Ranpo immediately, and L nodded, having already figured that much out of course. “And as for what he uses… let’s Google it.”
