Ch. 4 "One Lie Could Cost Everything" - Investigation

                                    

                                          
I was standing there in Kogo's lab staring at his lifeless body. It was then that I heard running steps and someone yelling.
                          
Hisato: Ari?!? Ari, please tell me that you're there! 
                          
Ari: I'm here! I'm in Kogo's research lab!
                          
Hisato ran in and gave me a hug.
                          
Hisato: I was so scared that it was you.
                          
Ari: You don't have to worry about me, Hisato. 
                          
Hisato then realized why I was in Kogo's research lab. 
                          
Hisato: That answers my next question. Will you be safe if I go get everyone else? 
                          
Ari: Of course, Hisato.
                          
Hisato: I'll be fast, I promise. 
                          
Hisato quickly ran outside of Kogo's lab. He returned with the six other Ultimates. 
                          
Ayano: Oh my—
                          
Kazutaka: I knew it! It seemed like it was too good to be true.
                          
Monokuma: Guess you should be called the Ultimate Psychic, huh?
                          
Monokuma appeared from thin air. 
                          
Nia: What do you want?
                          
Monokuma: No need to get feisty. I'm only hear to give the Monokuma File.
                          
Yuki: Alright. Let's see it. 
                          
It says here that the time of death was around three o' clock, and that he died in his research lab. Wait a minute!
                          
Ari: Why are the body finders not in the Monokuma File?
                          
Monokuma: It would too easy if I already remove 3 suspects from the short list.
                          
Mikio: So the killer is one of us?
                          
Monokuma: Duh! The killer is in this very room. Who else could've committed the crime? You sixteen were stuck in this killing game alone. No one else can kill you.
                          
Yorua: G-good to know.

Everyone split off to do their own investigation. I wonder if I should pair up with someone.
                          
Ari: Hey Kazutaka.
                          
Kazutaka: Yeah Ari?
                          
Ari: Would you mind to help me investigate?
                          
Kazutaka: I guess. I was going to work with Ayano, but she seems to have started working with Hisato.
                          
Ari: Sounds good to me. Would you mind if I ask Monokuma questions before we begin?
                          
Kazutaka: If it helps the investigation, sure.
                          
Kazutaka and I walked over towards Monokuma.
                          
Ari: Hey bear, may I ask you a few questions about this floor and the motive?
                          
Monokuma: I guess I can be helpful since a murder is involved. What questions do you have?
                          
Ari: Aren't the research labs only for the individual to enter?
                          
Monokuma: Precisely. One may use their E-handbook to enter.
                          
Kazutaka: And there's no way to lock pick?
                          
Monokuma: Nope. The only way someone could enter another's lab is if they had the owner's E-handbook.

Ari: Speaking of, you didn't mention who's lab was taken away today.
                          
Monokuma: Silly me! I only told the person!
