A smirk spread across her lips. "The culprit has been here the whole time, we just didn't notice. They were the last person we'd ever suspect, which gave them the benefit. I never would have guessed that this whole time that it… was… YOU!" The Detective exclaimed as she pointed.

Her pointer finger landed on the one…and only…Defoko. A confused look spread across the purple haired girl's face.

"What?" She questioned.

Detective Kasane rolled her eyes. "Don't try to deny the truth! Admit it! You stole the Banana Gem-!"

"-Jewel." Momo and Len corrected.

"-Whatever!"

Defoko was in utter confusion. "Teto, I have no idea what you're talking about! I mean-"

The red (dark pink) haired rolled her eyes. Quickly, she grabbed Defoko's purse and pulled out a large, yellow jewel. It was in the shape of a crescent moon, or in case of its name, a banana; otherwise known as the Banana Jewel!

"Really? You have no idea what I'm talking about?" The detective questioned.

With a glare on her face, the criminal growled "How'd you figure it out, Kasane?"

"It's Detective Kasane to you!" She loudly reminded. "And it was you from the begging. You had dropped such obvious hints I almost didn't notice."

Evidence from Chapter 1:

"It is! And that's why I need your help! If it doesn't get returned to the Vocaloid Museum in 2 months, then the whole area will be cut down for…"

"Don't say it!" The purple haired girl behind Teto yelled.

"…Tourist attraction!" He answered.

"You son of a!" The girl screamed, about to choke him.

"I hadn't thought much of it at first, but when you had told Mr. Girly-Shota-Boy-Thing over there not to mention the attraction, you knew I would jump right on the case! You told him not to mention it, and it angered you to the bone. So much that you wanted to choke him, am I right?" DK explained in a question.

The purple haired girl 'hmph-ed'.

Evidence from Chapter 2:

They scavenged the supply of tapes, searching for that special one. A loud crash made everybody turn around in shock.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Momo apologized for knocking over a stack of video tapes.

Rolling her eyes, Defoko helped Momo pick up the tapes. "Hey, is this the tape?" She asked, holding up a black, plastic box.

"When we went to the museum to find the video tape, it was just luck that you found the tape of Miku, wasn't it? Momo had knocked over the stack of tapes, and you stole the tape of you stealing and replacing the jewel as you helped her!" She explained enthusiastically to Momo and Len.

Evidence from Chapter 4:

She was quiet for a moment. "I don't know; the writing is too sloppy. Kaito, I need to know what this person looked like." Teto demanded.

"I didn't see his face, I'm sorry." He apologized.

"But it was a man?" Defoko asked.

"That, I don't know either. The guy had his hood over his face too far me to catch a glimpse." Kaito answered.

Momo sighed. "Well this didn't help us get further in our quest, did it?"

"Don't speak to soon, Momo. I can just barely make out part of the signature. It says 'Uta'… Something about Uta." Teto announced.

"It is true that you own grenades, right, Defoko? Did you happen to threaten to kill Len with these grenades? Did you tell him that if he didn't sell you the Vocaloid Museum of Art and Jewelry you would blow up his house? And when you both went to hand in the deed, you wore a hoodie over your face so that Kaito couldn't discover your true identity?"

There was whimpering from the corner of the room. Tears were streaming down a light pink haired girl's cheeks.

"Oh poor Len! Are you ok? This is so sad!" She wept.

Ignoring her, Teto continued. "And the biggest clue is that your real name is Uta! When you didn't disagree with the fact that it was Piko was also a great hint. You must have been thinking that "Why not let Piko cover for me?" Yes, that's what you were thinking!"

Evidence from Chapter 6:

"I had to go to the bank and the line was too long." Defoko replied bluntly.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light on the side of the house. Quickly, Teto turned around to see Defoko looking in her compact mirror. "Ugh, Defo put it away! Stupid stuff like that could mess up the whole investigation!" DK yelled.

"Momo!" Teto ordered. "When we visited Mrs. Hatsune, how did I know Defo was the one to commit the crime?"

Frantically, Momo jumped up. "Uhm… because she went to the bank?"

"Exactly! But why is that suspicious?"

"Is it because… the bank couldn't hold something as expensive as the Banana Jewel?" She guessed.

DK slammed her fist on the table. "Correct! When you were late that day was because you had to pick up the gem- jewel from the bank!" She corrected herself. "And also when I saw that light flash on the side of Mrs. Hatsune's house. The way you hid it with a compact was smart, but thinking logically, light can't flash through plastic. How could the sunlight reflect off the mirror if you were facing the opposite direction of the reflection?

And what was that flash, anyway? Was it the sunlight reflecting off of the Banana Jewel itself? Because you obviously didn't have enough time to go home and hide it; you must have just been holding it up in broad daylight."

5 pieces of evidence had been spread in out in the story of "The Banana Jewel".


Two police from the Winner's of The Banana Jewel Contest Police Department came to the Detective Agency to come pick up Defoko. Their names were Officer Akita Daichu and Officer Black Blood Baby III ( My epic name for blackbloodbaby).

"This isn't fair!" Defoko yelled at Officer Akita pushed her into the car.

"Yeah, tell it to the judge." The cop ordered sarcastically.

The other cop, BBB III was in a conversation with Detective Kasane herself. In 3 weeks there would be a trial for this criminal to defend herself, but it wasn't expected that she'd win.

"I hope she wasn't too troublesome for you." She prayed worriedly.

DK shook her head 'no'. "No, no, she was no trouble at all. She just wasted two months of my life on this case."

After nervously laughing they both back away slowly from each other.


Epilogue:

It had been two weeks since the day Detective Teto Kasane had solved the case of the Banana Jewel and all was well. Surprisingly, Rin and Len's relationship with each other had gotten stronger. They threw a party at the museum for its not being torn down. Miku went on to never commit a crime again and Piko got married to Gumi (you know, that other security guard?). Kaito and Luka hooked up at the party, and Neru was now dating Len (shocker).

The lives of Teto and Momo were unlike those above. Without a case on their hands, they had nothing to do. I guess this town just started to hang, to chill, to be peace with each other. Meanwhile the hero's of the town was just lying in their office, counting the cracks in the ceiling.

Did you know that before, Defoko had always thought of something to do? Like they could go out to the arcade or something, or volunteer at the elementary school, or just bring food. Really, she was the life of this place. Defoko was… she was epic. And now she was a criminal, in a concrete jail cell, all alone with bad people.

Suddenly, the door to Teto's office flew open. Standing in the doorway was a girl wearing a white sundress. Her hair was the color of dark purple to match her eyes. And resting on this girl's head was a purple beret. There was a reason she seemed so familiar to the detectives.

"Defoko?" They asked in unison.

Putting two fingers to her head, she saluted them. "Yo."

A look of utter confusion was plastered on Detective Kasane's face. "W-What are you doing here? We just sent you to jail!"

"Ha!" She laughed. "Yeah, about that. I checked with Luna – you know, the front desk lady – and apparently you didn't check your facts deep enough." To prove her remark, she slammed a manila folder on the desk. "The person you actually arrested Pokapi, a criminal who has been dressing up as famous people for years and stealing banks and such in their place."

The girls had a blank look in their eyes as their mouths dropped open.

"Plus, it wouldn't make any sense if you sent me to jail. I've been in Hawaii for the past 2 months on vacation with Mako, remember?" Defoko said as she pressed her pointed finger to her chin. "By the way, you do know that a jewel and a gem are the same thing, right?"
