Kara no Shojo trial, Prologue: The Psychological Test
Part IV

Reiji thinks to himself about their home life without their parents, who died in a plane crash a few years ago. He has a bath and rereads a book about the Gallic Wars in his room until Yukari calls him for dinner. Reiji does some DEEP thinking after they eat about how murder and lies have always gone hand in hand, ever since the time of Cain and Abel etc. (We also learn, I think, that he and Yukari are living in relative luxury now because of the consolation money they got when their parents died.) Yukari comes in to say goodnight. Before he goes to sleep, he realizes that tomorrow is Sunday, so he can't go to the police station to get help on his case, but figures it doesn't matter since the case is as good as solved.

The next day at his office, Reiji thinks over his case, about a murder that occurred at a construction site. He muses that postwar Japan has become pretty dangerous, thought it's not all bad since it helps keep him in business.

Evening of the 18th. Reiji comes home to find Yukari worried about one of her senpai in the art club, who didn't return home that night. Reiji thinks it's just a standard teenage runaway and the police will work it out, but Yukari still seems upset over it, so Reiji offers to investigate it for her.

On the 19th, you can choose to go to Reiji's office, where he thinks about the factory murder case, Inokashira Park, where he sees what he thinks is a man throwing something into the pond (somehow related to the case; the park is near the shooting site), or Moon World, where he chats with Kyoko and she mentions that she's planning on taking on the daughter of an acquaintance as a new employee soon (you also learn that her husband, who I think it says served together with Reiji in the military, died seven years ago in a traffic accident, and that she took over running Moon World after him).
