Kaoru Nagasaki, who had princess braided hair, leaned against the soundproof wall of the music classroom with her arms folded, pretending to wait until the case was over.

"If you don't mind, come and sit for a while!" Sagi pointed to the bench and invited him kindly, "It will take at least half an hour to wait for Hideno Hashimoto and Yuu Hirata to arrive. Standing will make you tired. If you have to wait, why not

Sit."

The classroom was already quiet, but suddenly I heard him talking to me.

"Ahem... um~ okay!" the shy girl lowered her head in response and walked over slowly with a blushing face.

Zuomu moved his buttocks, and the girl sat sideways next to him.

"Whose music do you like?"

"Piano music?"

"Um!"

Speaking of music, Nagasaki Kaoru immediately started talking, and unknowingly turned to the side facing the piano. He smiled sweetly and said: "I really like the Haydn piece you were going to play just now."

"Just by my intermittent playing, you can tell it's a piece by Haydn. My musical attainments are not simple!"

"My family used to force me to practice piano, but later I fell in love with it. But because of Teacher Kuriyama, I started to hate music." She felt it was inappropriate as soon as the words came out of her mouth. How could she continue to speak ill of her teacher after his death?

?I silently apologized to Kuriyama Immortal.

As if he noticed her embarrassment, Zuomu immediately changed the subject, "Let's not talk about music anymore, guess who the murderer will be?"

"Are you among the four people you asked Uncle Megure to call?"

"Obvious!"

Putting his chin in his hands, Nagasaki Kaoru racked his brains and thought for a few minutes, "Sorry, I still think only Hirata Yu may be the murderer!"

After a moment of silence, Zuomu forced a smile and said, "Let's talk about music!"

"Ahem...oh, there was a sound that sounded weird just now. Maybe it was not tuned correctly?"

"Oh? Have you noticed?" A strange smile flashed on the boy's cheek.

…

Forty minutes later, Hideno Hashimoto, who rushed from home, and Yu Hirata, who was sent from the police station, arrived one after another, and the four of them came to the music classroom as requested by Sagi.

Hirata You had disheveled yellow hair, yawned as if he hadn't woken up, and was very resistant to the police officers' efforts to escort him.

"The police are really incompetent. They arrested me by mistake, and they still want to listen to a high school student's nonsense." He glanced at Saoki who was sitting with contempt.

"Boom", the half-bald Principal Ogino banged the ground with the crutch in his hand, speaking in a bad tone, "Officer Megure, why do I even have to get involved? What does this case have to do with me?"

"And me, isn't my alibi sufficient?" Hideno Hashimoto, who taught mathematics, adjusted his glasses and spittle flew everywhere.

The dark-skinned Numai Heiyoshi said nothing and his face did not look good.

"Well..." Megure Thirteen felt dizzy for a while, "Everyone, please listen to Detective Sagi first and you will make your own decision."

"Thank you, Officer Megure, for your support," Zuomu stood up and nodded in greeting, then said, "I'm calling everyone over. The reason is very simple. The prisoner is among you!"

Several people looked at each other in confusion. Numai and Hashimoto looked at each other, and together with Ogino, they turned to Hirata Yu, "Is he this guy?!"

"There are four people present. Principal Ogino may not be familiar with the whole process last night. I would like to ask Miss Xunzi to tell it again. During this period, Mr. Hashimoto and Mr. Numai can recall some details and check for any omissions!"

"Yeah~" Xunzi agreed happily.

After she finished speaking, Zuomu handed her a bottle of water.

The latter thanked her. She was indeed thirsty.

"The general story of the case is just like what Miss Xunzi said." Zuomu began to talk, "First of all, let's talk about the problem of the watch. This is also the point that troubles the police. Why did the prisoner take the deceased's watch? According to Xunzi

From the peeping field of view, she could only see Kuriyama, who was shot, stretching his hands forward and lying flat on the ground. She could not see the wrist of the deceased, so she did not see the prisoner take away the watch."

"Could it be to make money? For example, Kuriyama's watches are more expensive!" Numai asked.

"No, according to the descriptions of Xunzi and the students, the watch worn by the deceased was an ordinary mechanical watch. It was not set with diamonds and was not a famous brand. It was not worth much and would not cause the prisoner to kill him." Zuomu shook his head in denial.

"If there is any secret hidden in the watch to blackmail the prisoner, let alone how many small objects can be accommodated in a watch with a diameter of only about four centimeters? Papers? Stamps? According to the police's search results in the deceased's apartment and office, there is no

Find the special tool that can lift the watch cover!

"Furthermore, because there was no scuffle between the two, the watch will not retain the prisoner's blood or hair tissue. So...

"The idea that the watch was taken away by the prisoner because of its inherent value is not true!"

He walked over to Officer Memu and took the photo of his wrist that showed a ring of white skin. "When we saw this photo, our first reaction was that the watch had been taken away by the prisoner, but if the murderer had not taken it away,

Where is this watch?"

"What do you mean?" Officer Megure didn't quite understand and asked in surprise, "This watch was never found in the apartment or office. Is there any other possibility besides being taken away by the prisoner?"

"Of course, like losing your watch!"

"Haha...ha..." Looking at the matter-of-fact look of the high school student in front of him, Hideno Hashimoto laughed so hard that his frame shook, "Do the so-called high school student detectives just rely on blind guesses? If you are lucky every time

If you are so good, you might as well buy lottery tickets, I’m sure you won’t even make as much money as Susui Reika!”

"Smile more!" Zuo Mu glanced at him with a nonchalant look.

Hashimoto, who was in his forties, seemed to be stimulated by his words and eyes. He unconsciously stopped smiling, gritted his teeth, tightened his facial muscles, and stared at him with an unkind expression.

"Sagi-kun, please tell me clearly!"

"Well, what I mean is that it is impossible for the prisoner to take away this watch, because the watch was accidentally lost before yesterday, so Mr. Kuriyama was not wearing this watch at all!" After saying this, Sagi turned to ask Xunzi.

, "Miss Xunzi, during the music class yesterday morning, did you notice whether Teacher Kuriyama was wearing the watch on her wrist?"

"It seems there is, but it seems there isn't?" Nagasaki Kaoru pursed his lips and tried to remember, but he could only come up with an ambiguous answer.

"I believe that if Officer Megure collects testimonies from other students, he will basically get the same answer. As for why I came to this conclusion, it is actually because of this photo!"

"This photo is the one with the bruise on the left chest you mentioned..." Kaoru Nagasaki looked at the photo that Saaki held up in his hand with wide, watery eyes.

"Yes, Officer Megure, how do you think this bruise was caused?"

Megure rubbed his cheeks with his fat fingers, "I think Kuriyama accidentally hit something sharp, right?"

"No, it's difficult for an ordinary impact to form such a large, evenly distributed bruise."

"Then what do you think the reason is, Saaki-kun?"

"It's a shooting!"

"Shot?"
