In the music classroom, Saoki's words were like thunder.

"What? How could it be Ogino...principal!?" School worker Numai Heiyoshi took half a step back and looked at the half-bald old man in disbelief.

In my impression, although the principal is merciless when blaming people, he is quite decent in his actions and generally does not take sides. I really can't imagine what the purpose is for him to do such evil things.

"Principal?" After seeing Sagi's melodrama, Nagasaki Kaoru knew the specific process of the case, but she still could not guess that the visiting prisoner A was actually the principal Ogino whom she respected.

"Why me?" Ogino, who was being watched by everyone, asked back. His withered cheeks showed no joy or sorrow, as if he was not the center of the discussion.

"Yes, how are you sure?" Officer Megure was equally confused.

"The deceased Kuriyama Immortal has a connection, and he is the person Hashimoto Hideno is willing to protect. He must be a school colleague. There should be no doubt about this, right?"

"Well," Mumu Shisan nodded, his thick chin piled up together, showing several distinct lines, "The intersection between the two is basically the relationship between colleagues in the school."

"I wonder if Officer Megure has ever thought about Hideno Hashimoto's willingness to protect the prisoner. Did the two of them agree from the beginning, or did Hashimoto do it on the spur of the moment?"

"It should have been agreed upon from the beginning. Otherwise, why would Prisoner A be willing to hand over the gun to Hashimoto?"

"That's not right!" Saoki, who was leaning on the piano stand, shook his head and denied, "It's enough for Prisoner A to kill the victim. Why should he find another accomplice? He just didn't expect that the victim was wearing a pocket watch! And Hashimoto

But at the time of the incident, he was still chatting with his wife about his family's problems. If he had known about it in advance, how could he be in such a mood and talk on the phone with his wife?"

"That's right?!" Officer Megure rubbed his chin, "Then Hashimoto's shielding of Prisoner A was just a temporary act!"

"Yes! After Prisoner A committed the crime, he left the music classroom, walked from the right end of the lower horizontal line of the F-shaped school building, through the corridor, and walked straight to the front entrance. He planned to open the door secretly and sneak away, but he just hung up the phone.

Hideno, who was out patrolling, encountered Hideno. Prisoner A suddenly panicked and wanted to silence him. However, he was no match for Hashimoto, who was strong and in his prime. The pistol may have been taken away by him. Prisoner A could only briefly

He informed Hashimoto and convinced him with benefits.

"Then, at this moment, there was a sound of rapid knocking on the window from the duty room. The confused Hashimoto had already deliberately protected Prisoner A, so he put away his pistol and returned to the duty room next to the front entrance to see what was going on!"

"That's it." Nagasaki Kaoru, who was murmuring in a low voice, nodded frequently. The night wind blew by. She hugged her body in a thin school uniform and felt a chill on her back. She felt scared for a while and cursed in her belly, "If I see clearly what's coming to me."

With the face of the perpetrator, will the accomplice Hashimoto-sensei kill me too?!"

At this moment, she extremely regretted going back to school last night to look for books and tape players, but then she thought about it, if she hadn't stumbled into this case, how could she have appreciated the style of the high school detective. It was really scary and surprising.

coexist.

At this time, Megure Thirteen questioned, "Sagi-san's words make sense...but there is one thing I still feel is not quite right.

"Since Prisoner A chose to break the window glass in the corridor opposite the classroom door from the outside in order to draw the attention of the police, why did he not push the window out and escape from there after committing the crime, but chose to go through the corridor?

Run to the front entrance and then open the door to leave?"

Saoki, who was knocking on the piano cover, smiled brightly, "Officer Megure asked about the point. Indeed, why did Prisoner A risk being met by the patrolling teacher on duty and just choose to push open the broken window and crawl out of the corridor?

Isn’t it safer?”

He paused and looked at Ogino Kenji's right leg and crutches, "It's not that he's not smart enough, it's that he doesn't have a choice, right? Principal Ogino?"

Sagi continued to add, "He first broke the glass outside the window, and then secretly opened the main entrance door with a key. By the way, apart from the one in the school office, only Principal Ogino has the other key. The next step is

What I said before..."

"Oh..." There were many exclamations in the room.

"It turns out it's because Ogino has a leg problem and can't climb over the window..."

"Detective Sagi really opened my eyes!"

Ignoring everyone's comments, Ogino Kenji limped up to Saaki with a cane in his right hand, staring into his eyes expressionlessly, "I admit that your statement is very confusing, but it is a pity that you

There is no most direct evidence that can prove that I," he pointed to his slightly stooped chest, "are the perpetrators, aren't they? Young man!"

Saoki, who looked at the old man with squinted eyes, secretly admired his mental quality and thick skin. He rubbed his nose, pointed at the **** man and said, "Isn't it enough to have Hashimoto Hideno's testimony?"

"Eno?!" Ogino, who had a Mediterranean head, turned around and growled, "Tell me, is it me?"

His tone became more serious, "Is the perpetrator you met in the corridor me?"

Hashimoto, who had tears streaked down his face, shivered for a while, his legs became weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

He did meet Ogino Kenji last night and grabbed the pistol when the latter was about to commit murder. However, he was intimidated by the majesty that the principal usually displayed. He was also a yes man and always looked at the principal's face before speaking.

After Ogino promised benefits such as a promotion and salary increase, and was willing to pay a considerable sum of money for hush money, he became an accomplice to protect Ogino.

At this time, he heard a call with a hidden threat, and recalled being summoned by the police at night. Before leaving home, he received a call. It was Ogino Kenji calling from the principal's office.

"The police directed you and I to go to the music classroom. I'm afraid they may have found some detailed clues."

"Ah? We won't be exposed, right?" Hashimoto on the other end of the phone had a face full of panic.

"Ou... Duo... Sang, what's wrong?" Sensing his abnormal look, his 6-year-old daughter grabbed the corner of his clothes and blinked her big, watery eyes.

Ogino's suspicious voice came from the receiver, "After thinking about it, I won't leave any substantive evidence, but you, are your hands and feet behind it clean?"

"Xiao Li," he covered the phone and touched his daughter's head affectionately, "No...it's okay. I'm going to play with your brother for a while. Dad is talking about something."

"Hashimoto?"

"Okay, Dad, please be happy, don't frown and have a sad face!"

A whispered curse came to my ears.
