Chapter 12 The Prelude to the Beginning

"Then... I wish you good luck." Monokuma said these words, then threw the death file of Monokuma on the ground... and left.

Lin Xiao picked up the file and said, "Let's start the investigation." He said calmly.

"Ah?" Asahina covered her mouth and said, "What is the investigation for? It's about to start again."

Naegi said sadly: "Yes..."

"It is no longer like this to investigate the body of my companion...and then suspect my companion...it is really unbearable," Asahina said.

Ye Yin shouted: "I don't want it either! I quit, I want to run away!"

"Where are you planning to escape to? There is no place to escape here," Okami Sakura said.

Togami said coldly: "It's time to get used to it, right? After all, blood is just liquid, and corpses are just objects."

Ceres said: "You seem to be very motivated."

Togami said: "Don't you have the energy? If you can't find the real criminal, will I die with you?"

Asahina said: "Although this is the case...but..."

Ten Gods said: "If you want to die, just die by yourself."

Owada said: "You said the corpse is just an object? That guy... Chihiro is not an object. If you ignore her existence, I will never forgive you!"

"Don't have unnecessary quarrels...and not everything Togami-kun said is wrong," Kirigiri said.

Lin Xiao said: "We must solve the mystery. If we don't find the culprit... it won't work."

"If the murderer is really the genocide Sho, if he is allowed to go unpunished, it may lead to more victims." Kirigiri said.

Yamada said in shock: "No. Not only will there be more victims, maybe all of us will be killed..."

At this time, the voice of Monokuma sounded on the radio, and it said: "Don't worry, in this school life of killing each other, the same bad guy can only kill one person at most... This is the rule I just added...

Because if one person kills too many people, wouldn’t the happy school life end soon?”

Ceres said: "You can only kill one person...that is to say, there is still a chance that the victim will appear again!"

"That's really a big event. We need to find the prisoner quickly before that happens!" Togami said.

Owada said: "Shut up!"

"Anyway, Ishimaru and I are sending Touko back to her room now," Asahina said.

Lin Xiao said: "Then start... the search now."

First investigate this room... Chihiro's body is no longer alive...

Togami said: "I feel more and more strange, this corpse... Is this the murderous style of Xiang, the genocide?"

"I don't know the details... After all, the crime scene of Genocide Xiang is just an internet rumor... No one knows what the truth is." Lin Xiao said.

There is a seal on the wall, a poster of a beautiful woman in a swimsuit, also stained with blood....

There are also bright red blood stains on the carpet under Qianxun's body, which must have been stained when the murder occurred...

There is a dumbbell on the floor, and there is blood on one end of the dumbbell....

Lin Xiao remembered that the death file said that Qianxun died after being hit on the head with a blunt instrument, so the dumbbell on the ground was the murder weapon...

Okami Sakura said: "I didn't expect that I would be killed in the women's locker room where I often come..."

"But... why was he killed in the locker room... No, the possibility of being killed and transported here is not completely impossible." Naegi said.

The great god said: "Indeed, her weight is relatively light. It is not impossible to transport her after being killed, but I think she came to this place by herself..."

Lin Xiao said: "Why do you think so?"

"Just recently, she often talks about exercising..." Okami Sakura said.

That's right, Lin Xiao also heard her say several times... that she was attacked by prisoners while exercising?

But only women can enter the women's locker room...

Naegi said: "Chihiro went to the women's locker room to prepare for training... But it's strange. The death file said that Chihiro died around 1:00 in the morning."

"...That's right, it's impossible to exercise at this time..." Lin Xiao said.

Okami Sakura said: "During the day, Asahina and I spend more time here, probably because we are avoiding us on purpose."

"Avoid it, why avoid it?" Lin Xiao said.

"Hmm... I don't know about this. Asahina and I have invited her several times, but she has never exercised with us once... Maybe it's just to avoid us as much as possible."

Okami Sakura said.

"That's why you secretly exercise alone late at night?" Okami Sakura said.

Okami Sakura said: "But it's hard to imagine her doing this kind of thing alone. Although Chihiro has always wanted to exercise, she once said that she couldn't do it alone... I hope someone can help!"

"In other words, Chihiro came to the locker room to exercise secretly late at night... Because of her personality, it is very likely that she did not act alone, but came with someone... and ended up being killed by that person.

People attacked...that led to the current situation." Lin Xiao said.

Okami Sakura said: "This possibility...can't be said to be completely impossible!"

"...That guy seems to feel very inferior to his own weakness... You have heard it, right? That guy said that he must become stronger... As a result..." Owada

explain.

"...So we must find the murderer." Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said.

"But it's strange why Chihiro keeps saying that he wants to become stronger. For girls, it's normal to be weaker..." Naegi said.

"Who knows... about that level of things... only she knows about it," Owada said.

After carefully searching the entire crime scene, no other clues were found...

Lin Xiao said: "We went to other places to search, but we can't find any new clues even if we stay here... We need to investigate from other angles."

"But where should we go?" Naegi said.

Ten Gods said: "Follow me..."

Then he took Miaomu and Lin Xiao out of the locker room and came to the swimming room hall. The hall was filled with equipment and was very quiet.

"Is this also related to the case?" Naegi asked.

"Please use your own brain to think about where you want to investigate and other issues...don't ask me to tell you everything." Togami said.

"Let's take a look at this card reader." Lin Xiao said.

Naegi walked over and said, "Well, this card reader should correspond to the electronic student handbook, right?"

Togami said: "Is there anything you care about? If you have any questions, you can ask Monokuma." As he said this, he clapped his hands several times under the monitor, and Monokuma immediately appeared.

"Call me again?" Monokuma said.

Togami said: "Naegi, he seems to have a question to ask you..."

"Okay, what's the problem?" Monokuma said.

"Well... I want to ask about the card reader here..." Naegi said.

"Oh, that corresponds to the student handbook... You can only enter the locker room that matches the gender in the electronic student handbook, so be careful..."

Monokuma said.

"Is it feasible to enter the individual at the same time when the lock is lifted?" Lin Xiao said.

"What if it's a woman and a man?" Togami said.

Monokuma said: "Of course the school will sanction such impure things, and the Gatling on the ceiling will mercilessly blast him into a hornet's nest..."

Lin Xiao said: “Isn’t it illegal to lend the student handbook to others?”

"Of course!" Monokuma said.

In this case, there is a problem... girls can only enter the women's locker room, and boys can only enter the men's locker room... Is this the case?

In other words, Chihiro's body was found in the women's locker room...then the gender of the murderer can only be female.

Naegi said: "Is the gender of the murderer also female... Chihiro's body was found in the women's locker room, so the murderer can also enter the women's locker room..."

"Is that so? Is it that simple? Just because of this, I think the murderer is one of the girls... But to see the phenomenon, you have to see through the essence..." Togami said.

"You really can't think of it this way... maybe the prisoner used some special method," Lin Xiao said.

Shishen smiled and said: "Lin Xiao, you are really smart..." He continued: "Although the school rules say that you cannot lend to others, there is no rule that you cannot borrow from others..."

Monokuma said: "Oh, this has been discovered... As expected of the noble son of a super high school, he noticed this loophole in the school rules."

"Monokuma... It seems you did this. You deliberately prepared such a loophole to make the puzzle more interesting." Lin Xiao said.

"Wait, in this case, since it was borrowed from someone else, that means someone lent it out, in that case..." Naegi said.

Monokuma said: "Okay, let's search hard. I wish you good luck."

Togami said: "Okay, let's go to the entrance hall first, where I will explain my views to you."

A group of three people came to the entrance hall.

"Is there anything here? Togami-kun." Naegi said.

"Come here, I found something here." Lin Xiao came to a mailbox and took out some electronic student handbooks.

Naegi said: "Why are there three chapters of the electronic student handbook here... Why do they appear in a place like this?"

Togami said: "I discovered this by accident... The student handbook of ideas of dead people will be returned to this mailbox."

"In other words, are these three electronic student handbooks... those of Enoshima, Kuwada, and Maioka?" Lin Xiao said.

With that said, Lin Xiao started the electronic manual... The one in his hand was Wu Yuan's collection...

"It's really Mai Madoka's student handbook..." Naegi said after seeing it.

Togami said: "This way you will understand the meaning of the loophole just mentioned..."

"I understand..." Naegi said.

"It's strange why there is a manual that cannot be started." Lin Xiao said.

"...The other one is from Enoshima...then the one that can't be shown is Kuwata?" Naegi said.

"I see, Kuwata, the student handbook he was wearing must have been damaged due to the impact of so many baseballs." Togami said.

However, Lin Xiao remembered that the student handbook seemed to be able to withstand the impact of a weight of 100 tons according to Monokuma, and there was no pressure even if it was thrown into deep water.

But forget it...this probably has nothing to do with the case.

"Okay, that's the end of the opening remarks. We're about to start the formal steps to find out the true identity of the murderer." Togami said.

"Have you found any clues about the murderer's true identity?" Naegi said.

"No, you are only half right," Togami said.

"Ten Gods, what do you mean you are only half right?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Although I said that I want to find the real murderer, I also want to find the true identity of Xiang, the genocide." Togami said.

That's right, Genocide Xiang is a very bad serial killer. Such a guy must be found...otherwise something will very likely happen...

But Xiang, the genocide, is hiding among everyone, which Lin Xiao finds a bit unbelievable...No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like this to everyone.

However, maybe this is really the case, otherwise the strange situation at the crime scene and those blood words... the blood carnival... would be strange enough, right?

To find the murderer, perhaps finding the genocide Sho is the key, but such a guy... must be hiding very deep...

At least for so many days, there are no clues at all, right? And this incident always feels very strange. If it was really the genocide Xiang, according to the usual practice, he should have taken action long ago... Anyway, he was a murderer, and he was imprisoned

In a place like this, you could be killed anytime, anywhere. Isn't that very bad?

Anyway, he is a murderer. Even if he kills people early, it doesn't matter if he escapes... This type of people are mentally disturbed and have such strange thoughts... Lin Xiao thinks it is normal...

But it's still lurking...

But that's right, the secret obtained by Monokuma, the genocide Xiang, might have exposed his identity, so he couldn't wait to take action... Of course, there is another possibility, that is, a certain murderer

Planning to frame the blame or divert attention... This way you can clear yourself of suspicion... Such a plan is not bad.

If this genocide Xiang really exists, then this person will definitely be very disadvantageous. Even if he doesn't exist, it doesn't matter. He can also play a role in confusing the public... I have to praise the murderer's wisdom this time.

Now it seems that the murderer can use these student handbooks in the mailbox to enter the women's locker room. Isn't Sayaka Maizono a girl?

Once you get it, you can go in at any time, so now everyone is suspected...

Naegi said at this time: "So, it was Xiang who killed Chihiro this time? Do you think so too, Togami?"

Togami said: "Of course, it must be Xiang, the genocide."

"Is the murderer... lurking around... It's possible..." Lin Xiao said.

"A ferocious murderer who keeps killing people with curious and cruel methods... Monokuma holds secrets that no one wants to know... perhaps it is to expose the weakness of the person lurking around everyone... So

He had no choice but to take action... Based on this reasoning, do you think there will be others?" Togami said.

"Let's think so, but it doesn't rule out that the real murderer confuses the public..." Naegi said.

"I have a basis that makes me so sure. Let me show it to you. Follow me..." After Toshen finished speaking, he turned around and left. Lin Xiao and Miaomu followed him with doubts.

At this time, Asahina suddenly came over and shouted: "It's a serious matter...come and help."

Togami frowned and said: "We are very busy...don't come here to hinder us!"

Lin Xiao saw Asahina looking very unhappy and said, "What on earth is going on?"

"It's an emergency...please...come and help me," Asahina said.

"Calm down first." Lin Xiao said.

Naegi said: "The emergency you mentioned...what exactly happened."

"It's amazing... Dongzi seems to be acting a little strange." Asahina said.

"What exactly does it look like..." Togami said.

"It's very strange, and it also feels dangerous and scary..." Asahina said.

"In this case, let's go there," Lin Xiao said.

Togami said: "Then let's go over and take a look at the situation..."

Naegi said: "Asahina, let's go."

Asahina and Lin Xiao quickly arrived at Dongzi's room...

Asahina said: "After Ishimaru and I sent Touko back to the room, the strange thing was that she kept saying some unintelligible words, and then drove us away, and refused to come out for any reason..."

"That's right...it seems like he was frightened." Lin Xiao said.

As he spoke, he pressed the doorbell, and then the door opened quietly...

After opening the door a little, Dongzi stuck his head out and said, "What's the matter...?"

Her gloomy look revealed an uneasy atmosphere...a dark feeling.

Naegi Makoto was startled and said nervously: "No...it's just that Asahina is very worried. You locked yourself in the room..."

Dongzi said: "Leave me alone!"

"Anyway, please open the door first? Are you okay?" Lin Xiao said.

Dongzi said: "I won't let you succeed..." I felt like the eyes were full of hostility... It seemed that I was really frightened.

He immediately said: "No matter what, we will definitely find the murderer this time, Dongzi, don't worry too much."

Fuyuko said: "....That guy Sho, the genocide will not let him do whatever he wants." Then he closed the door....

Lin Xiao said: "It seems that Dongzi is very afraid of the genocide Xiang... Sure enough, she also thinks that the murderer is the genocide Xiang."

Asahina said: "Speaking of which, I feel really worried... Her mental state seems to be very wrong... It would be nice if someone could persuade her."

The only one who can do this kind of thing is probably the Togami... But if it's such a troublesome thing to ask the Togami, then forget it.

But without Lin Xiaoshang, someone took action... It was Naegi Makoto. This guy is really upright and a little too kind.

Surprisingly, Togami actually agreed... Oh, this noble gentleman actually agreed... This is really unexpected.

"Oh... Togami is actually willing. I didn't expect that he also has a gentle side..." Asahina said softly.

Togami stood silently at the door and rang the doorbell...

The door crack opened, and Dongzi's voice came: "Ignore me, it's too annoying."

Then she saw Togami, and then her tone changed... She called out: "Togami-kun." She was full of surprises... Compared to Naegi's treatment, I don't know how much better it was...

"....Woman, how are you?" Togami said.

"...I'm sorry for not keeping the promise, but don't worry, I will never let the genocide Xiang do whatever he wants in the future!" Dongzi said.

Then the door closed again... Huh? It seems that even the Ten Gods have nothing to do...

Lin Xiao said: "We will continue to investigate. Asahina will leave the matter to you. If there is any situation, you can come to us."

, "Okay, I'll just watch from here." Asahina said.

Continuing the investigation, Toshen took Lin Xiao and Miaomu to the library... Lin Xiao remembered that Toshen seemed to come here often.

Naegi asked: "I said...is there really a library? It is the basis for the crime committed by Xiang, the genocide..."

Ten Gods said: "The evidence is in the library." There is also a door in the library that leads to the library.

After saying this, he took the lead and walked in, and Lin Xiao quickly followed.

The library is filled with books and documents...the number is scary...but the dust is very thick...

"Although the environment is harsh, there is also the value of patience here." Togami said.

"This desk lamp... seems to have been used by Togami-kun before." Naegi said.

"I just took the things that were originally placed here and took them outside," Togami said.

"Ten God Lord, have you discovered anything here?" Lin Xiao said.

"The reason why I often come to this library is because there are a lot of interesting things in this library... It contains a large number of non-public documents and important information within the police, which will never be disclosed to the outside world.

.... Isn't it spectacular?" Ten God said.

"...Really? There is such a thing..." Naegi said.

"Sure enough, everyone's brains are the same...just because they think it is unrealistic, they conclude that it is false... Among them, the one that interests me the most is the police's search report of the unsolved incident...

.That is, Xiang, the genocide..." Ten God said.

Sure enough, the basis of what Togami said was this report... Maybe after discovering this library, he has been looking for information about the shady story or some important things here... It can be said that it is indeed

Super high school level... The heir to the chaebol group indeed possesses extraordinary wisdom. (To be continued)
