The next day Momeo and I went to interrogate Leilani Iona. It was a very breezy day that day. Before we knocked on her door, Momeo faced me and said:

"The more I look at that note we found, the more similar I find it to be to the store logo."

"You think so?" I questioned curiously. He nodded.
I continued. "We can ask her about it then."

When Leilani opened the door, the inside of her house could be seen and it was completely littered with boxes from top to bottom.

"Hello?"

"Good afternoon Miss Leilani Iona, we're detectives who are investigating the murder case of Katarina Elon." Momeo said.

"Oh come in, come in!"

"What's with all the boxes?" I asked, looking around. You could barely move around anywhere in there!

"I've been planning to move ever since my shop closed down." Leilani explains.

"Where are you going?"

"Maui." She continued. "I don't have any attachment to here anymore so I decided to move."

"Would you mind answering some questions for us?" Leilani agreed to our questioning.

"What were you doing the night of the murder?"

"At 9 pm I was going to my old shop to finish cleaning the store when I saw Katarina's dead body." Leilani shivered. "I felt sick to my stomach and immediately called the police."

"Did you see anyone else there?"

"No, all I saw was Katarina and the murder weapon."

"Do you know anyone else who could shed light on the incident?"

"Hmm..my former employee Ankha Makami might be able to help you guys." She continued. "She's been helping me clean up, but I'd be careful when talking to her because she can have quite the temper."

"A temper?" I looked at Leilani, doubtful. "She was very courteous when we met her."

That is, besides her accidentally spilling ice cream on me.

"She's always like that at work." Leilani snorted.
"She's a completely different person out of it; an amazing actor AND forger, really."

"...We'll keep that in mind." Momeo said. "Thank you for answering our questions, Miss Iona."

"It's been my pleasure." The lady replied.

Before we left, I asked her about the note we had but she said it wasn't hers.
