A round ceiling light that emits warm white light.

It is indeed a blessing to be able to travel to such a family, where one is not a lonely orphan and does not have a complicated family background.

Regarding Rentaro Sagi's so-called company management problems, Sagi has no intention or ability to intervene. As Ryoko said, he has his own way to go. No matter what, he just needs to move forward.

Lying on the bed, Sagi looked inside and realized that the dark green liquid in the ink umbrella detective tube had increased in stages.

After the killing incident in Waxman City, plus the two points given by triggering the lucky stone, there are eleven points. Adding the remaining eighteen points, the total is twenty-nine points.

He originally thought that if his parents didn't agree with these detective values, he would use them all in a lottery. As long as he drew the gold coin pattern option, if he didn't cheat, he would be able to pay for half a year's rent, water and electricity for a year, which shouldn't be a big problem.

But now Rentaro is willing to support him. Although Saaki doesn't want to rely too much on the two elders, he also knows that once his father with a tough personality decides, he will not make changes. All he can do is to take enough cases and earn enough

The remuneration is good enough to keep the detective agency running.

The big problem now is that this body is too weak. Today at noon in Bador City to prevent Megumi Taqikawa from shooting down the hanging candle lantern, what he was thinking about was to go up, hold up the pistol, fold his wrist, and do it in one go.

But in the end, she still fired two shots. Fortunately, the stray bullets caused no casualties.

The overall quality of the body is not enough to support his movements, so Zuomu considers exercising more and at the same time, accumulating detective points to 50 points, and then redeeming them to activate the secondary attribute function of the ink umbrella: parachute attack.

"When holding an umbrella, do you have strength comparable to the eighth level of Kendo?"

When he was first bound to Mo Umbrella, he didn't quite understand the concept of the eighth level of Kendo.

After checking the relevant information, he realized that the eighth level of kendo is already the top level in kendo, which can only be achieved by kendo experts who are over 45 years old and have been immersed in kendo for decades.

The ninth and twelfth dans above are basically awarded to 8th dan scholars who have passed away and made outstanding contributions to kendo.

In other words, as long as this secondary function is turned on, even if there are restrictions, you can still obtain top combat power within a certain period of time.

This is an excellent ability to preserve yourself in dangerous cases in the future.

…

The next night, the traffic on Kaisaka-dori Avenue facing Nagata Town became less and less crowded, and the pedestrians were sparse.

The Shabang Association Hall next to it has long been closed.

Wearing a blue and white school uniform and black stockings, Kaoru Nagasaki looked around the dark surroundings and quietly slipped into the thick bushes on the right. A certain pole of the fence was pulled up, and she, who was tall and thin, wore it sideways.

He passed and entered Sakurazono Girls' High School.

By the luminous light, the hands of the watch pointed to 8:50.

Looking at this five-story school building that blends the artistic charm of Eastern and Western art, she wiped off the broken leaves and dust on her body and trotted to the playground on the right.

The entrance to the front of the school building at Nottingham University is closed. Only the windows of the duty room and school staff room near the main entrance are lit, while the other rooms are pitch black.

Nagasaki Kaoru wasn't too worried about being seen or bumped into by the teachers or security guards on duty, because every room had curtains, and of course, the doors and windows were locked tightly.

Sakurazono Girls' High School is one of the few girls' private high schools in Chiyoda Ward. Based on the concept of independent management and bringing education back to the family, the school does not have dormitories for students to live in. Therefore, those who go to school here are generally from Chiyoda Ward and nearby areas.

residents of several districts.

Kaoru Nagasaki, who had just passed through a row of neatly planted cherry trees, was a first-year student at the school. She had a beautiful princess braided hair, and a fallen green leaf flew from the tree to her hair.

In March and April, it is the season when cherry trees are blooming. This row of cherry trees is a beautiful scenery in the school, but now it has passed the flowering period and is in the period of sprouting and growing leaves.

There was a reason for her sneaking back to school at this point.

During the free activity class in the afternoon, she brought a tape player and a copy of "Point and Line" written by Matsumoto Seicho borrowed from the municipal library, and listened to Miyuki Nakajima's songs under the big elm tree next to the playground behind the school building.

, while reading mystery novels carefully.

But when school was about to end, she was dragged away by her playful classmates to play ball games. When the school bell rang, she followed her playmates who were focused on leaving school and went back to the classroom to pack their schoolbags.

She waited until she got home to finish her meal and homework. When she wanted to listen to music and read a book for entertainment, she found that these two things were missing.

Only then did I realize that it had fallen under the school's big elm tree.

Of course it would be fine to pick them up tomorrow morning, but Nagasaki Kaoru was afraid of losing them firstly, and secondly, he was afraid that the books he borrowed from the municipal library and the newly purchased tape player would get wet from the light rain from midnight to early morning.

She had read the weather forecast and there was a possibility of light rain at night.

So, she hurriedly left home and took the bus back to school.

The school's five-story main building runs north-south as a whole. Looking down from a height, it looks like a huge letter F. The main entrance entrance is at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines below the f, and the duty room is at the front entrance.

There is a small room next to it. As for the playground, it is in the southeast corner of the old school building, which is on the lower right side of the letter F.

There is also a three-story laboratory building and a two-story old school building to the north of the main school building, which are relatively small and dark.

Nagasaki Kaoru walked around the school building in front from the right side, and the wide playground came into view.

In the afternoon, a group of girls were here, bathing in the May sunshine, chasing each other and playing.

But the playground shrouded in darkness is by no means an ideal place. The deserted venue is eerily quiet.

Fear welled up in his heart, Nagasaki Kaoru rubbed his hairy arms and quickly turned left at the corner.

"Find something quickly, take it and leave immediately!" she thought to herself.

On the left was a row of dark windows. She gradually started running, and when she almost reached the end, which was the lower angle of f, she faintly saw a square object under the big elm tree.

The cover, which usually looked normal, was glowing with strange fluorescence.

Inside the book is a thick tape player.

The joy of finding something slightly washed away the fear in her heart, "Found it!"

Nagasaki Kaoru rushed forward and grabbed the book and tape player. The book was not damaged, but the surface was covered with a thin layer of soil particles.

She gently brushed it away, and just as she was about to turn back the way she came, she discovered that the music classroom at the end was lit with lights. The music classroom was at the right end of the horizontal line under the letter f.

"At this point, why are the lights still on in the music classroom on the first floor?"

With such questions in mind, Nagasaki Kaoru, driven by curiosity, trotted to the right with the book and tape player in his arms, until he ran to the end.

Although the curtains in the music classroom were closed, they were not closed tightly on the left side, leaving a small gap.
