Byakuren noticed that the chief had a good, firm grip there. She wasn't some pencil-pusher who yielded when someone messed up their paperwork. Pleased with this, the detective decided to relax around her and offer her services. If the chief could use some help, then Byakuren would oblige. Also, by doing so, she believed she could get some information under the cover of camaraderie.
"Of course. I'll assist in any way I can."

"Good. Follow me."
Shikieiki walked over to a body with a knife in his back. Komachi followed.
"Watch this. She's good at her job," she whispered. Shikieiki began.
"We just need some finishing analyzations. We have assessed that due to the position of the knife, it is not a suicide, but a definite murder. With how deep the knife is, this was planned. The murderer wanted this man dead for some time, and assessing the depth of the knife, he was careful to make sure the victim was dead. However, it wasn't so deep as to be a serial killer. Look, to begin with, the knife is still there. He must have broken down and fled. He also must have been quite young, possibly in his or her mid-twenties. Next, they weren't cautious enough to clean the handle. That was a big mistake on their end. And like I mentioned with depth, being that deep, but not deep enough, I can assess the killer must have planned this murder out, but he freaked out when he actually committed it. Then there is location. A dark alley, a viable location for an unseeable murder. With the knife being in the back, the killer must have somehow convinced the victim into the alley and stabbed him in the back without the victim having a clue. Then there is the dryness of blood. The blood is a little moist. I'd say it happened an hour ago. I can also tell that the killer was an amateur because look at the placement on the back. There couldn't have possibly been a definite target. The killer was new at this. Anything you two would like to add?"
Komachi was simply dumbfounded.
"U-um... Well, you would need the patrol to look out for any youngster looking uneasy. If the killer is as young as you assess, he cannot be feeling better in such short time. Like you said, he had no target, so no kind of training prepared him for this."
"Good. Byakuren? Do you have anything?"
"Good. Follow me."

Byakuren took a knee near the corpse of the victim and analyzed it upon hearing details from the Chief. No-one could jam a knife into their back on their own without some kind of holding mechanism, and as this victim probably loved life, a murder was certain. A knife was a common tool, but the blade inspired a closer look. It wasn't just some butter knife, it was a heavy duty cutting tool meant to slice through meat with ease. Because of this and the location of the body, the murder was premeditated. Byakuren wanted to investigate the body some more, perhaps search for the victim's identification to get a handle on who they were and how they acted, but this was the Chief's case.
"If this killer wanted to kill his victim outright, he would have jabbed the knife higher into the back. A professional hitman would have used the opportunity to break the spinal cord while backstabbing, making the kill silent yet challenging." Getting up, Byakuren looked to the Chief. "One doesn't have to be a serial killer to know how to kill someone effectively." Looking back to the body, Byakuren shook her head. "This is all well and good, Ma'am, but what about the victim? What is his name, and what kind of person was he? A dead man can tell more than a living man could."

Outside Yuugi´s apartment
The oni felt better as her stress was released from her system ("Ok then, I got a piece of information, but I can´t just barge in and gun my way.. even though it sounds awesome") she grinned with the thought of using her berettas in such a stylish way
Yuugi kept walking and focused on her only leads ("She was with some grunts, heavy loaders, but still grunts so our red haired captain must be usually on patrols around the city, but the question is where")

Shikieiki took out a name tag.
"He was a teacher in a nearby school. We also found this in his shirt pocket," she said as she took out a paper. "It's a note to a man -- most likely a student -- and his or her parents about threatening expultion to this student for frequent misbehavior. Another note was found in his pants, saying that the same boy from the note wanted to meet the teacher here to talk about his wrong-doings. The truth was far from what was written, as it is apparent. I can only assume that the boy set him up. This case is practically over, a stupidly easy case. The only problems we have is locating the boy. Though he was terrible at covering tracks, he was somehow able to pull off a trackless escape. If he purposely left the knife there to not look suspicious, he did a hell of a job. I wanted your help to see if I missed anything as far as tracks as to where he could've gone."
If one looked closely, to the corner of the entrance to the alley, there were little skid marks. They were leaning towards the left side.

"Tracks as to where the student may have gone?" The Buddhist detective glanced about for a moment before offering her help. "Well, I like to put myself in the murderer's shoes. Humor me, if you will."
Byakuren walked over to the corpse of the dead teacher and stared down at the knife. If there was no scuffle, then the man must have had his back turned to the student, thus allowing the killing blow. If this was the case, then there was no misdirection. Stabbing an invisible knife into the air, Byakuren backed away from the corpse and retraced her steps. If the killer was young, a novice, he or she would have been alarmed and sickened by what they did. They wouldn't run around the body to flee because that would open them up to another view of the body. Instead, they would back away and come back the way they came.
Following her thoughts, Byakuren turned her back on the corpse and walked towards the entrance of the alley, her hands out as if she was dowsing the area for clues. She shifted about as she tried to figure out how the killer had left, her eyes searching every bit of trash for blood, spit, or signs of disruption. Stepping out to the entrance, Byakuren noticed the clear skidmarks near the corner. Bemused, she turned her attention to them.
"Skidmarks," Byakuren observed. She crouched down and felt the marks, feeling the texture under her fingers before looking over at the Chief. "How old was this student? Old enough to drive? They might have driven away in their car, or their teacher's car... heading north," Byakuren continued as she looked in the direction she was alluding.

Gensokya park
Sitting on a bench, Yuugi was doing something many would never thought of an oni, play chess.
Her rival in the game was just an old guy like many who enjoy playing chess on the park "Oh? what would a young lady be doing with an old man like me?" he asked her
"I would like to play a match with you sir, that if you would let me" the oni asked calmly. The old man was nervious knowing the groups like her usually went on violent moments, but seeing her calm demeanor, he nodded and made the first move "I got to say that it is rare to see youngs like you enjoying hobbies like this" the old man said as the blonde made her move
The oni knew that the man was referring to her species, but didn´t mind "Some of us are known for being quite active, but there are times were we all need just a time of peace" she said moving her next piece
The old man nodded and continued "Yes indeed, after the prohibition, many people lost most of their lives, although almost everyone would do anything for some good whiskey like myself, but for the long run it has helped many too" he spoke as they were enjoying their match "Sadly others lost more than a mere drink"
"True, but looking at the right places we can find what we desire" Yuugi said moving her bishop "check"
"Of that im sure, just be patient and answers shall appear" the man spoke moving a piece and grinned "Would you look at that, Checkmate"
Yuugi smiled and got up "Well played sir, I too Im being patient and am glad to be" she offered her hand to the man
He looked at it and took it while saying "I know you will find her, and when you do it the drinks are on me"
Yuugi grinned wickedly "You would be penniles with that, enjoy your day" she said walking to her next goal as the man waved

Shikieiki went over to the skid marks and her eyes widened slightly in astonishment.
"Impressive. I can't believe I missed it... Men, search the town. Go down this road and ask any business owners about anyone recklessly driving. The man was a middle school teacher, so the student can't possibly drive that well, not to mention the stress he must have been under. So that's a charge for underage driving plus murder... Alright, move!"
Everyone at the scene too off. Shikieiki looked at Byakuren with a smile. "Good job. You too Komachi. So, Byakuren, komachi, why exactly are you here?"

"Happy to be of service," Byakuren replied with a small bow. She folded her arms and glanced between Komachi and the Chief. "Now... What do you know about... The Scarlet Devil Mafia?"

Shikieiki closed her eyes and put her finger to her chin.
"Hmm... well, they're a slippery bunch, but they're out there. It's no myth. It kind of makes me wonder why they don't cover their tracks completely, whether purposefully or out of lack of experience, and I highly doubt the latter."
She put her finger down. "However, I haven't quite heard from them in quite a while. One can only assume that they're either planning a big heist, which in my opinion should never take this long, or they've just given up. Hopefully disbanded. But apparently not, huh?"
Komachi put her hands on her hips. "Well, if I were in their shoes, hearing that kind of rumor would make me wanna cause a ruckus to let me know I still exist and that I shouldn't be taken lightly... but hey, I'm not them, am I?"
Shikieiki looked at Komachi. "Yes, that actually makes sense. Tell me, what happened exactly?"
Komachi took the wheat out of her mouth. "Well... I was on a case about another one of those god-forbidden mental assault abuser, as we know and love, when suddenly Rinnousuke, the retired doctor, looked panicked at what happened. He told me that there was someone dead in the second floor. Sure enough, a fairy died, shot in the head."
