Chapter 104: People are like iron rice and steel, eating lunch next to the body
“I don’t even dare to kill fish, how could I possibly kill someone!
"
After hearing Morishita Ryohei's explanation, Ozaki Cheppei actually felt that it made sense. It was indeed very difficult for Morishita's small body to kill the tall Yasuo Tamamori, and he might be killed in the process.
But excluding Fujiwara Yu and Morofushi Kagemitsu, who can corroborate each other, the only options left for the murderer are himself and Tanihara Naaka. Ozaki Teppei can be sure that the murderer is not him, so there is only one option left, and this option is
He thought it was the most impossible.
How could a girl who was only 1.6 meters tall be a match for adult men? Thinking of this, Ozaki Chehei turned his head to look at Fujiwara Yu and asked with a smile:
"Fujiwara-kun, could it be that your judgment was wrong? Moreover, what you said before cannot completely rule out the option of 'the murderer is an outsider'."
"The reason why we rule out the possibility of external crime is that the murderer hiding in the mountains and forests did not regard Morishita Liaohei as the primary target. Secondly, there were no traces of struggle at the scene. It was obvious that Assistant Tamamori was relaxed when facing the murderer.
status, so it was done by an acquaintance.”
Hearing this, Ozaki Teppei once again felt that it made sense. Indeed, there was no mess at the scene, and the assistant coach's body shape seemed to be very capable, so there was no reason to choose someone with a higher difficulty level.
Even if there were external criminals, he might have discovered Naaka Tanihara who was alone during the observation process. There was no reason to choose Yasuo Tamamori who was in the tent instead of a girl.
So... is the murderer really inside? That would be too scary.
Because this means that the murderer is one of Tanihara Naaka and Morishita Ryohei. At least one of them is acting to deceive everyone from the beginning to the end.
Thinking of this, Ozaki Chehei became a little doubtful about life.
The seeds of suspicion were buried in everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere gradually became more subtle. Even Ozaki Teppei, who had a relatively straightforward personality, became a little wimpy. He suddenly felt that becoming a police officer might be the wrong choice.
This was not the first time that a police academy student committed a crime. He had heard that there was a training ground in the junior section where a student killed an instructor. He originally thought that he would not encounter such a thing, but who would have thought...
Where is it?
Zhu Fu Jingguang saw that everyone's mood became depressed, so he had no choice but to suggest:
"It's getting late, let's raise the bonfire first. Although Holmes said that your mind will be clearer when you are hungry, I happen to think that being hungry will affect your concentration and miss some important clues, so it's better to start with
Let’s have dinner, people can’t skip meals, right?”
"Well, what Zhufu-san said makes sense, let's prepare the food!"
Morishita Liaohei wanted to say that he had no appetite and didn't need to do his part, but he felt that this behavior was a bit unsociable and did not say it. He had no choice but to silently move stones to form a circle and prepare to make a simple stone bonfire.
Ozaki Teppei also quickly broke the collected firewood into suitable sizes and placed it in the center of the stone, while Fujiwara Yu took out flint and steel to light the bonfire with the wood chips.
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Gu Yuan Miaojia quickly followed Zhu Fu Jingguang towards the river and said:
"Um... Zhufu-san, let me help you. I'm quite good at cooking."
"Then please wash the potatoes and carrots, and then cook the rice first."
"OK."
After simply raising the campfire, Morofushi Kageko, who has mobility A, quickly processed the ayu, poured the olive oil he brought on the pan, and only needed the combination of pepper, salt and lemon juice to make the most ordinary dish.
Pan fried fish.
This simple grilled fish is drizzled with a little sweet soy sauce and served on steaming white rice. It is definitely an ordinary delicacy during a picnic. Of course, those who don’t like fish can just enjoy the curry rice with bibimbap.
Camping curry is always better than curry eaten elsewhere.
I don’t know whether it was because he was really hungry or because Ozaki Chehei ate too much. Morishita Ryohei, who had no appetite at all, ate two large bowls of rice. Although the body of Assistant Tamamori is still in the tent, the living people have to live a normal life.
Isn't it?
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Fujiwara Yu said while putting the garbage into garbage bags:
"The field training will end at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. If we are found to have not returned to the team during roll call at the playground, someone will be sent to pick us up immediately. So before then, everyone should make do with it and squeeze into the spare tent."
"Fujiwara-kun, don't we need to move Assistant Tamamori out of there? I'm worried that the high temperature in the tent will speed up the body's decomposition, and by then... it won't be human." Morishita Ryohei carefully expressed his opinion.
, he still can't believe that the murderer would be among the students. This is really terrible.
"You don't need to worry about this. It takes time to sterilize a body. Even if there are high temperatures, the temperature at night is still relatively cool, and I have put the refrigerator inside to lower the indoor temperature." Yu Fujiwara was tidying up.
explained.
Ozaki Teppei rubbed his belly and stood up. He yawned and walked towards the spare tent, completely looking like he was ready to rest. Naaka Tanihara was a girl after all, so after thinking about it, she decided to hold her sleeping bag.
Sleeping outside. After everyone saw this, they realized that there was a girl among the four of them.
Zhufu Jingguang grabbed Ozaki Chehei who was about to get into the tent to rest, raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Tanihara-san, you should sleep in the tent alone. We can have sleeping bags and sleep next to the campfire. We can also keep a vigil to ensure that there will be no problems."
"But……"
"It's nothing, men and women are not intimate." After Fujiwara Yu said this without expression, he took out his sleeping bag and handed it to Ozaki Teppei. Obviously, his expression of embarrassment was to explain that he didn't bring it.
sleeping bag.
"Fujiwara, you?"
"I can sleep while sitting, and I'm not sleepy now." Fujiwara Yu knew that the other party didn't want to owe him a favor, so he simply found a reasonably suitable excuse to excuse him, and in order to prove that he was not sleepy, he did sit-ups as usual.
.
"Okay, I'll come and change shifts with you later." Ozaki Teppei didn't show any pretense. He silently remembered Fujiwara's kindness and walked towards the flat ground outside the tent, choosing a good place to sleep.
Fujiwara Yu noticed the tiredness on Zhufu Jingguang's face. He held his chin with one hand and poked the bonfire in front of him with a wooden stick in his other hand. He said in a leisurely tone:
"Don't be brave if you're sleepy. I'll be fine by myself."
"You should go to sleep first. I don't like changing shifts while sleeping. I choose to sleep well in the middle of the night." Zhu Fu Jingguang couldn't help but raise his voice, pretending that he was not sleepy, and said with a smile.
"Oh, okay."
Fujiwara Yuu didn't refuse, so he walked to the sleeping area with his sleeping bag, put it down, got in and closed his eyes comfortably. This was his first time sleeping in the wild.
Inexplicably, I feel like I'm sleeping on the street. I don't know if I can sleep. I probably can't.
