Tsukauchi and Izuku look around the park they assumed Claire Richards would be at. It was the closest playground there was to there apartment.
Izuku spots what he assumes to be her, so he activated his quirk.

. Izuku tals the detective, and points to the girl swinging a kid around in her arms. Tsukauchi nods, already knowing what he meant without him having to say anything. The two of them walk over to her.
"Hello, Mrs. Richards?"
The woman turns to them, setting the kid down gently, she tells the kid to go play on the swings for a moment, before turning back to them.
"That's me..who are you again?"
"Ah, sorry. I'm Detective Tsukauchi and this is my Junior Detective. We would like to ask you some questions on April?"
Izuku can see her lightly tense. He looks to Tsukauchi, and sees he must've not noticed.
"Oh, yeah, of course. You don't mind sitting down with me on a bench nearby would you?" She stands, walking over to the bench on the other side of them. They follow, and Tsukauchi sits beside her, Izuku besides him.
Izuku speaks up this time. "Sorry to ask this Mrs Richards, but where where you at around 12:15 PM today?"
She nods, "I was babysitting as usual. The family I babysit for, the Patterson' son the 15th floor, work from 9-5 and 7-3. At that time I believe we were getting ready to leave for the park."
Tsukauchi flashed him a look. Izuku holds in a annoyed groan. Must mean she's lying. But what reason would she have to lie?
"Alright, can I ask about the parents you babysit for?"
"Yes. Emily Patterson and Carson Patterson. Mr. Carson is the one that works 7-3 and the mom from 9-5. I usually leave after Mr. Carson gets there."
Tsukauchi flashed him another look.
"Okay, thank you for your time mrs. Richards." Izuku says, giving a small bow.' She nods in response, going back to the little kid.
Tsukauchi and Izuku begin walking back to the apartments.
"Okay, so she was obviously lying about the fact she was getting ready to leave the park with The kid. And I assume that second like was that she usually leaves after mr. Carson arrives?"
Tsukauchi nods. "Yeah, but what reason would she have to lie about that?
"She's guilty of something, and I hope it's not what I think it is." Izuku sadly states as the two of them walk back into the apartments. They head to the elevator, same idea in mind. He presses the 15th floor.
On the way up, Tsukauchi gets a call.
"Hello? Detective Tsukauchi speaking." He answers. Izuku can't hear what the person says back, but Tsukauchi seems relieved a little.
"Hey, Madeline. What's up ? Find something on April?"
"Oh..really? Alright then. I'll tell my Junior and call you back after." Tsukauchi hangs up the phone and turns towards him, just as the elevator dings.
"Forensic's they found April had sex in the past 24 hours." Izuku looks at him confused, and then sighs.
"So I'm assuming, why she came from that 15th floor, is because she was having sex with one of the people up here. And I really, don't wanna guess who."
Tsukauchi nods, and the two of them continue to walk to the room. They reach it, and knock.
After a couple knocks, a man, with brown hair and a shaved beard opens the door. He looks at the two.
"Hello, Mr. Patterson. My name is Detective Tsukauchi, and I would just like to ask some quick questions here."
"Is this about April?"
Izuku nods.
"Alright then, come on in." He opens the aparment door wider, allowing them inside. They both move over inside.
Izuku gives a 'im-planning-something-and-I'll-tell-you-later' look, and the other holds in an annoyed groan.
"Excuse me, sorry. Can I use your bathroom please?"
"Yeah go ahead." The man points him in the direction of the bathroom, and Izuku's goes. He smirks at Tsukauchi before closing the bathroom door.
Tsukauchi sighs, starting up some quick questions.
Izuku looks around the bathroom, making sure to be quiet in case of any squeaks. He opens the mirror, it being one of those cabinet ones, and the first thing he sees is a box of cons.
He sighs, annoyed with this case, and flushes the toilet to act like he used it. He takes a quick picture of the cons before closing the cabinet, and turning on the sink.
He turns it off, and walks out of the room.
"Thank you for allowing me to use your bathroom." The man just nods.
"So, can I ask how long have you been home?"
"I was being released early today. They didn't need me much of at all today so they let me out early. Around 11 to 11:30."
Izuku nods. "And what have you been doing?"
"Well, I was going to go to my kid, but decided to get something to eat. My kid has a 5 foot pit for a stomach."
Tsukauchi flashed him a small look.
What's with all these people lying today? Can't be honest if your guilty of something, he supposes.
"Sir, I'm going to ask again. What have you been doing?" He sees the guy sweat drop, and scratch the back of his head nervously.
"My quirk is lie detector. I can detect lies. Please tell us the honest truth."
"And also, I found quirkcons in your bathroom. Wanna and our victim had sex in the past 24 hours. We have evidence she came to your room. So wanna explain?"
"Yes, yes, we had sex alright? But that's all we did, honest truth! I was suppose to meant up with Claire soon after to get my kid for a minute."
"Claire..? Fuck." Izuku mutters, tsukauchi just gives him a side-eyes glare for cursing.
Tsukauchi nods. "Thank you for your time." And he drags Izuku out by the arm. The two of them head back to the elevator.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Yeah. I believe Claire must've seen what they were doing. But why would she get so upset that she would kill April?"
"Because she wasn't the only one who he was having sex with." He sighs, and presses the Elevator button.
"Your thinking Claire must've been jealous then, right? Came down after she seen them having a good old time in the apartment. Than went out of anger and killed her?"
"Yup yup." Tsukauchi sighs, and the two of them head back downstairs. On the way, they see Claire walking back inside with the kid.
"Claire Richards, your under arrest for murder."
