After all, they were sitting in a quiet room. Although the two people whispered very quietly, Konda Eimi still heard it.
She hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Xia: "But will the police really care about this kind of prank? If they get involved, it might delay the matter. Speaking of which, when the person who attacked me ran away just now, he seemed to be thrown away.
What dropped..."
She turned her head hesitantly and looked at the bookcase beside her.
Jiang Xia stood up and walked over, stared at the bookcase for a moment, picked up a wooden pole next to it, and raked it under the bookcase.
Following his movements, Suzuki Sonoko saw something fall out with sharp eyes: "There is a piece of paper! Wait, could this be..."
Jiang Xia blew ashes and unfolded the letter.
Just read it: [At sunset today, I will bring death to TB.]
"Death?!" Suzuki Sonoko was startled. "The upgrade is too fast. Why did you jump from cutting hair to killing people? There are only two hours until sunset..."
With such a short time, even if they trusted the police, they didn't think the Mumu Police Department and the others would be able to find the terrible murderer on time.
Jiang Xia held his chin and watched, because that island trip sounded very interesting. Now he is in a good mood and is very patient in his work: "Then let's go around and find out who 'TB' is."
…
There are many common girls' names starting with T, but surnames starting with B are not that common. However, after a few people asked around the school, those who met the conditions have either gone home and left the school, or they have not been named at all.
I've heard of the Weaver Girl Club.
"The first three attacks were against the Weaver Girl Club, so the fourth attack should also be on people related to the club." Suzuki Sonoko was tired of searching. Seeing that the sun was about to set, she looked around and said doubtfully, "Jiang Xia and that kid
Where have you gone?"
"Is it in the club activity room?" Eimi Konda pointed to the window, "I just saw Jiang Xia lying on the window looking out. The child also imitated him and climbed up the window sill, almost falling off."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." This little kid really can't calm down at all. Fortunately, Jiang Xia is quick to make people happy.
Eimi Konda was a little worried: "Is it really not necessary to go and see?"
Suzuki Sonoko still wanted to continue the search, but there was no progress for a while. She thought about it and felt that it was really necessary to meet Jiang Xia to see if Jiang Xia had any clues.
…
The three of them returned to the activity room of the Weaver Club and saw Conan closing a cabinet full of letters. Seeing the three of them coming in, he asked Eimi Koda: "Sister Eimi, who is 'Romeo'? - I discovered
The two previous victims both praised him in their letters."
Eimi Koda was silent for a moment, and her face became unsightly: "That is... a very popular boy." She sighed and looked at her watch, "At this time, 'Romeo' is probably in the library.
Let’s study in the room.”
…
The four of them went to the library under the guidance of Eimi Konda.
Before I could get closer, I saw several girls gathered around the door of the library. Everyone was glued to the windows, looking inwardly at something.
"..." Conan pushed Jiang Xia's knees with his elbow and whispered a reprimand, "Look, when you came to school before, it was always like this in the corridor, and it was very blocking the road."
Jiang Xia: "..." Not really.
This mini-detective likes to take blame at will as soon as he is soaked in vinegar. He really has no moral integrity.
While they were blaming each other, the two of them had already reached the door.
Jiang Xia glanced in through the glass window and saw a boy wearing light-colored clothes sitting at the table. The man was wearing headphones and seemed to be immersed in studying.
Conan's height could not reach the glass. He jumped skillfully and wanted to take a look. But he was pressed down by a hand just as he was halfway through the jump. Jiang Xia: "Don't run around and make noise in the library."
Conan: "..." What's so great about being tall? Damn high school student!
"His name is Yuuto Kariya." Eimi Koda whispered, "Because he has a quiet temperament and doesn't care about others, everyone usually just watches from a distance and doesn't get close..."
Before he finished speaking, a hand from beside him pushed open the door.
Suzuki Sonoko's mind was full of drama recently. She walked over and said a stage line, saying hello to the person: "Oh~! Romeo, why are you Romeo?"
"..."
Kariya Yuto raised his head and glanced at her. Perhaps he felt that he was having a mental illness, so he pretended not to see her and lowered his head again.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
You are really completely ignoring people!
...Hmph! But raising her head like that allowed her to see her face clearly. It turned out that Jiang Xia was better looking. And he wouldn't leave the lovely lady aside for air.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko changed the subject and got down to business: "We, the 'Weaver Girl Club', have received several letters about your discussion, all of which were sent by girls who have a crush on you, and the people who were attacked happened to have sent them all.
I have received a confession letter related to you - what do you think of this matter?"
With such a long list of words, it was difficult for Yuto Kariya to continue pretending not to hear.
He took off his headphones, raised his head and looked at Suzuki Sonoko, then turned to look at Jiang Xia who was approaching. He recognized that this was a detective of his own age, and his face changed slightly: "What on earth do you want to say?"
A classmate who could swing a prisoner like a sack walked up next to him, and Suzuki Sonoko's confidence suddenly increased again.
She calculated the time when Eimi Konda was attacked, her face sank, she slapped her palm on the table, and said forcefully like Officer Sato: "Where were you an hour ago? - Were you holding a knife?
,attack the girl over there?"
"?" Yuuto Kariya followed her line of sight and glanced at the door, and saw Eimi Koda standing there, a little embarrassed.
He looked away and said calmly: "Why would I attack someone I don't know at all? It's inexplicable. If you want to ask about what happened an hour ago..."
He dug into the bag next to him and took out a ball of paper.
After unfolding it, you can see a few lines of words written on it: [I picked up your utility knife. Can you come to the back of the gym? I want to return the knife to you.]
The agreed time is also marked in the lower right corner.
"My utility knife was indeed lost. I was too lazy to run too far to buy a new knife, so I went over and took a look as the letter said." Yuuto Kariya said unhappily, "But after waiting for 5 minutes, no one came over at all, so I just
It’s back again—it’s probably someone’s prank.”
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin: "Isn't this letter written by you yourself? Do you want to use it as an alibi?"
"Whatever you say." Kariya Yuuto looked quite calm. He clicked the mechanical pencil, "Okay, go out as soon as you finish asking. I don't have time to play any letter-writing games with you. I'm really interested."
