Lin Xiao climbed down the stepladder and returned to the stage.
"Have you finished checking the windows? Then I will put the stepladder back." Bai Tian said.
"Well, thank you for your help." Lin Xiao said.
"So it should be the assistant's job."
Although he complained so much, Momota still helped put the stepladder back.
All the places on the stage that I wanted to investigate have been investigated.
"Well, is it over here? Let's go to the next place." Bai Tian said.
"Well, okay." Lin Xiao said.
In this way, all the gymnasiums where the bodies were found have been investigated.
"It's finally over, so who is the murderer?" Momota said.
"I don't know about this yet. After all, there are other places that need to be investigated," Lin Xiao said.
"What? You don't know yet? I didn't expect that the work of a detective is quite ordinary."
"So where to investigate next?"
"The first thing is the swimming pool next to the stadium." Lin Xiao said.
"That's the place connected to the window above the stage. I think it's necessary to investigate."
"Then also go to Long Man's personal room in the dormitory and have a look, because I want to investigate the motives behind his actions."
"There is also his research classroom. I think the handcuffs that fell in the sink were originally supposed to be placed there," Lin Xiao said.
"That's all?"
"I have to go to Yumeno's research classroom. I want to carefully investigate the mechanism used in this magic show."
"As long as you go there, you will definitely find some clues."
"This means there is still a lot to do," Momota said.
"Come on, Lin Xiao is not the one who wants to work, but you."
"Yes." Lin Xiao said.
"What do you mean? Yes, what you mean is of no use to me at all."
How should I answer just now?
"What's this?"
"It's the operating panel of the light stand. You can move the light stand up and down from here," the maid said.
"Oh, that's it." Lin Xiao said.
"Oh, this is Yumeno's research classroom, so what are you going to investigate here?" Momota said.
"The tricks Mengye used in the magic show must be found out," Lin Xiao said.
"That said, maybe it really is magic without mechanisms and secrets?"
"That would be a bit nerve-wracking," Lin Xiao said.
But it's not just a magic show trap.
You should also ask Xiaoji if he knows anything.
"Oh, Lin Xiao, what do you want to ask me? If it's for you, whom I love the most, I'm willing to tell you everything." Xiao Ji said.
When words like this came out of her mouth, they sounded like they had the exact opposite meaning, which was really scary.
"I have a question to ask you. It's about last night when we were caught by Quan Tai." Lin Xiao said.
"At that time, you must have sneaked into everyone's personal room in order to steal our motives."
"But really, is this all you did? You came back very late at that time, right?"
"I see, you want to know my alibi before the time last night. I think this question is a good one."
Kokichi: "Because the gymnasium where the crime occurred cannot be entered at night, Ryoma must have been killed before or after night."
"From this point of view, the time last night when everyone dispersed was probably the time of the murder."
"So, how about it?" Momota said.
"Then let me tell you, organized experts, what happened when I was out yesterday late at night." Xiaoji said.
"After Lin Xiao woke up and brought Mengye and An Qi all day long." Xiao Ji said: "That was 8:55 in the evening."
"Then, at 9 o'clock, I left Quan Tai's research classroom and headed to the dormitory."
"I originally thought I could come back before night time in an hour, but something unexpected happened on the way." Xiao Ji said.
"What accident?" Lin Xiao said.
"As soon as I arrived at the entrance hall, I was discovered by the maid, because Cia had just left Quan Tai's classroom at that time, so it was probably exactly 9 pm." Xiao Ji said.
"She started asking me aggressively what my intentions were."
"They even said that my attitude towards life is very bad, and blamed me for my dining etiquette and my attitude towards interacting with friends."
"She thinks she is my mother."
"Didn't you tell your maid classmate before that you could be my mother?" Lin Xiao said.
"After her teachings, it wasn't until 10 o'clock at night that I was finally liberated," Xiao Ji said.
"Huh? As long as an hour."
"But the lesson only lasts for about 30 minutes. The rest of the time is spent chasing me."
I ran away because I felt very annoyed.
"Wait a minute. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"I have no obligation to listen to you. I have to teach the leader of the super high school a lesson and wait for 10 years." Xiao Ji said.
"If Miss Maid can catch me, then come and catch me."
"I can take this as your entrustment."
"Then the maid seemed to get serious. Although I tried my best to escape, I was still caught when it was almost 1o o'clock."
"Then he started to lecture me again, and it was finally okay at night."
Momota: "During the time when you were chasing me, could you provide each other's alibi?"
"Yeah, okay, because we have seen each other several times."
So between 9pm and midnight last night, Xiaoji and the maid also had alibi?
"After the maid let me go, I finally went to the dormitory and collected everyone's videos."
"It's already 11 o'clock in the evening when we return to Quantai's research classroom." Xiao Ji said.
So there is an alibi between 1o pm and 11 pm.
"Ah, and when I was being lectured by the maid, I saw something a little strange."
"weird stuff?"
"There was just a person wearing underwear wandering around the atrium. Because it was dark, I couldn't tell who it was, but I kept seeing her hanging around there," Xiao Ji said.
"Who is that?"
"By the way, Momota, you were not caught by Quan Tai. Where were you and what were you doing at that time?" Xiaoji said.
"In order not to be caught by him, I ran around and hid in various places in the school building, such as wc." Bai Tian said.
"Oh, that's it." Xiao Ji said.
"What are Shirogane-san doing here?"
"When you ask me what I do, of course it is investigation. Although I am very ordinary, I am also investigating in a very ordinary way." Bai Yin said.
"That's it." Lin Xiao said.
"So, have you found any clues?"
"This, I'm still thinking about it," Bai Yin said.
"Clues can't be found just by thinking," Lin Xiao said.
"No, the teacher said, I actually didn't find anything." Bai Yin said.
"Then you have to act more actively. Information must come and go with these legs." Bai Tianshu.
"But I don't think it's good to let that person act alone."
Classmate Shirogane said while secretly glancing at Xiaoji.
"So I decided to go ahead and just keep an eye on this guy."
"I think that in this way, even an ordinary me can contribute something to everyone."
There is a huge water tank in the classroom, which is very similar to what Yumeno-san used in the magic show.
"This seems to be the same water tank used in Meng Ye's magic show. It seems to be a spare one." Momota said.
"Meng Ye told us when Ji Wang and I were helping to move."
"Then maybe we can find the secret of Yumeno's magic by investigating this water tank."
Thinking this way, Lin Xiao immediately began to circle around the water tank, looking for any place similar to a mechanism.
"Huh? What is this?"
The top of the water tank scene can be opened wide, but why can such a place be opened?
No, wait a minute, maybe this is the only place that can be opened.
Momota: "Since it is necessary to reveal Yumeno's magic show in order to solve the incident, it feels unreasonable."
"Huh? Could it be that Momota-san is the one who still has dreams about magic?" Shirogane said.
"Well, Momota believes in Yumeno's magic." Xiaoji said.
"That's not it. It's just that guy's magic. Isn't it also magic that makes people smile?" Momota said.
"Oh, well, you can think of it this way." Bai Yin said.
"And this is the same as the dream of going to the universe. I believe that humans can reach the end of the galaxy and encounter aliens." Momota said.
"Wouldn't it be more romantic to fly into the universe with such a mood?" Bai Tian said.
"Wouldn't it be more romantic to fly to the universe with such a mood?"
"Oh, that's it." Bai Yin said.
"I always feel like things have changed." Xiaoji said, "It's really stupid. Talking about romance under such circumstances obviously doesn't help anything."
"Ah, who are you calling stupid?"
"Forget it, forget it." Lin Xiao said.
Then we came to Ryoma's research room.
If your thinking is correct, the handcuffs that fell in the sink should be here.
And since the handcuffs were taken out of this room, it means that the murderer has visited here.
In this case, the murderer might leave some traces.
"This room is different from when I came here before, something is wrong," Lin Xiao said.
"What's wrong?" Bai Tian asked.
"Ah, no, it's nothing, let's go investigate the handcuffs." Lin Xiao said.
Let’s solve this problem first.
Then, Lin Xiao entered the shower room.
This was his first time coming in, but the atmosphere in this room was like a research classroom for super high school-level prisoners.
"Is it built like this on purpose? The shower room has been modified like this for this purpose."
"Well, I think it should be right."
"It's true that Monokuma has a really bad personality, even though he has known it for a long time," Momota said.
"Hakuda, look, there are handcuffs hanging on the wall."
"Well, it looks very similar to what fell in the sink. It should be the same thing." Momota said.
"It's eighty percent correct. If you look closely, one of the hooks where the handcuffs are hung is empty. That handcuffs should have been hanging here originally." Lin Xiao said.
In other words, there is no doubt that the murderer has been here.
There is a window here, not wrapped with vines or barbed wire, and without iron bars.
So when I looked up at the school building from the swimming pool, I saw the only ordinary window.
That might be to open the folding fan window to make sure.
"It's true."
"The window you see from the swimming pool is the window of Longma's research classroom." Lin Xiao said.
"Ah, the swimming pool, wait a minute because this is the third floor, so it's quite high."
"But as long as you successfully jump into the water, won't you be able to reach the swimming pool in one go?" Momota said.
"Well, it should be possible as long as it's not night time." Lin Xiao said.
"But you are not allowed to enter the swimming pool at night. There are precautions for both the kid and the swimming pool."
"I see. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me that I don't plan to swim at all. Wait a minute, what is it?" Momota said.
"Um?"
"You see there are strange scars on the window." Momota said.
"There were scratches on the real window frame."
And this is very similar to the scar on the window frame of the gymnasium.
If you just open and close the window normally, it shouldn't cause such scars, and like the window frame of the gymnasium, the window frame of this window looks quite strong.
Even if a heavy weight is applied, it seems to be able to withstand it.
"You understand when Lin Xiao comes here, right?" Bai Tian said.
"How amazing I am to be able to notice such important clues about the super invincible Thunderbolt. I am worthy of being the famous Momota in the universe."
It seems that important clues have been discovered, but there is no need to mention them in particular.
The rather large stone washbasin seems to be able to store quite a lot of water.
"Well, what is this?"
"There are many small scratches on the stone that look like scratches."
"Really, what is this?"
"This is not a natural scar, it is similar to being scratched by a small metal, which is a bit worrying." Lin Xiao said.
The original purpose of coming here was to confirm the original location of the handcuffs in the sink, but unexpectedly, I found a clue that was more important than imagined.
Moreover, this classroom is also the research classroom of the dead Ryoma.
There are so many doubts that cannot be ignored, this will definitely become an important clue to find the murderer.
"You seem to have grasped something, your expression is quite confident." Bai Tian said.
"Okay, let's go to the next place. Staying in this small room is not an option."
"Yeah, that's right." Lin Xiao said.
"Where to go next?"
'Ah, it hurts.'
As soon as he left the shower room, Momota tripped over something and fell hard.
"What is it? My foot tripped over something."
"Well, it's that bundle of cables." Lin Xiao said.
"This is what is used to open the tennis net. It should be placed further to the side."
Wait for the tennis net.
"That's it, I understand what's wrong."
Investigate it carefully.
"Momota, you said this bundle of cables is used to open the tennis net, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Momota said, "It should be the cable used to open that net."
"Yes, what made me feel something was wrong when I entered this classroom was the net." Lin Xiao said.
"When I came here before, the ball was obviously open, but now the cable inside seems to have been pulled out."
"You mean someone specifically pulled out the cable inside and why would they do such a thing."
"Hyakuta, can you do me a favor? I need to measure how long it is."
"No need to measure specifically, it's about 15 meters."
"Actually, I was in the tennis club in junior high school, so I know how long the cable is."
Lin Xiao said: "You are from the tennis club."
"Well, that's why Ryoma guy became like this, which makes me unhappy." Momota said.
"Did Bai Tian know Ryoma before?" Lin Xiao said.
"I only know him unilaterally. To be precise, as long as people of my age are playing tennis, no one doesn't know him, because he has been active on the international stage since junior high school, which is equivalent to the tennis kid at that time.
hero."
Bai Tian said; "But when I met him here, he completely lost his fighting spirit. This really made me very unhappy and I couldn't help but say some harsh words to him."
"Although I only regretted it now, it was too late, so what happened to the length of the cable? Is there anything that worries you?"
Lin Xiao said: 'It's not that there is anything specifically suspicious, I just want to investigate it carefully.'
"Well, the so-called detective really cares about small details. He is just like an evil mother-in-law who bullies the bride."
