“Who do you think we are, Hakuba?”
He snorted at the thought, even though it made him shudder on the inside. The truth was, though, that he really hadn’t thought of checking for prints or the like – the only thing going through his mind when he caught sight of the waste laid upon his dear darling doves was revenge. It would have been a good idea, had the thought crossed his mind before, but the school had already cleaned up the mess, leave it to the Japanese educational system to clean up a crime scene, before anything could be done.
“I managed to get a picture of her in the act, though, but it was pretty low quality…aaaaaaaand maybe I took some slight liberties in dressing as her and taking a few higher-quality ones for more substantial proof. I mean, it’s not technically framing if she did it in the first place, right?”
"Well, tantei-san wouldn’t forge evidence, now would he? Though I guess it wouldn’t matter, if you were just trying to get her to admit it herself. Whether it would hold up to investigation or not wouldn’t really matter in that case.”
It was true, though. His other self didn’t say anything about turning her in, so if it’s just to get the girl to admit that she’d done something in the first place, the ‘proof’ didn’t necessarily have to be real in terms of what happened… And though he is thinking like this, it was largely because the other seemed to be trying fairly hard just to get her to make up for what she did to the birds. …Though probably best not to go too far, else he really will end up sounding like one of their detectives. Already troubling enough that his immediate line of thought after that had been whether or not the first could be enhanced at all. Even the worst of quality pictures had been shown to be changed well enough to see, after all.
