Bang!
Just as Hoshikawa Dougo was about to succeed, a tremendous crash suddenly interrupted him.
He turned around and saw the door panel had been kicked straight open. The detective who had come here with him slowly walked in, his dark eyes sweeping over the room.

"You..."
"Me what?"
Fujino snorted. "And you still had
