After Shishen finished speaking, he took out a file and handed it to Lin Xiao.
After Lin Xiao opened it, Miaomu also came over. Lin Xiao saw that what was written inside was the investigation report of Xiang, the genocide.
A page of a series of photos of crime scenes... The scene was extremely bloody and quite curious... The names of the victims killed by Genocide Xiang were still arranged in a long row after turning through many pages.
So many victims were all killed by the same method and hung up in the same way... and there will definitely be a bloody carnival left at the scene... If you put it this way...
Qianxun's body must be in the same condition... Lin Xiao said: "Is it really Xiang who killed the genocide? Why would such a person lurk among us?"
Naegi said: "...But I think everyone's situation is completely different from that kind of person..."
"...Hidden nature...is very scary." Lin Xiao said.
"...Look at the next page, there are some interesting things written there..." Togami said.
Lin Xiao turned to the next page. Is the message above the result of criminal reasoning? A series of crimes occurred late at night on weekdays, or during the day and night on weekends...
The most frequent occurrence is in the afternoon on weekends... From this, it can be inferred that the prisoner is a student... In addition, there are signs at the scene that the prisoner is suspected to have been sitting at the scene for a long time, but then fled the scene in a hurry.
...Since there are no eyewitness reports, there seems to be no external reason forcing the prisoner to take such strange actions... From this point of view... is it possible to consider that the prisoner suffers from severe schizophrenia?
What about the possibilities?
"In short, it means that the prisoner may have multiple personalities." Togami said.
The so-called multiple personality is a mental illness... So on the surface, everyone seems to have no problem, but in fact, there may be another personality hidden...
Murderers... But this kind of thing basically only happens on TV... It feels a bit divorced from reality... But the environment we are in now... Reality has long been divorced
Come on... maybe it's not surprising that such a thing happens...
Maybe it's not that incredible... I've started to get used to it...
"Well...that's all I can tell you. I have other things to do before the school trial, so I'll say goodbye here." Togami said.
After saying this, he left on his own.
Naegi said: "It's true, we suddenly said we would act together, and then suddenly left... But thanks to this, we got important clues... What we didn't expect was that the genocide Xiang was hiding among us... We must
We need to find him...but now we should investigate somewhere..."
Lin Xiao thought for a while and said: "The scene is the women's locker room. Let's take a look at the men's locker room next door... By the way, let's ask the others. They may also have some information."
We arrived at the swimming room...and met Yamada there. He looked very happy.
After meeting Lin Xiao, he said: "Yamada has found evidence about the murderer!"
"Oh, what's it like?" Lin Xiao said.
"Did you find anything?" Naegi asked.
Yamada said with a proud look: "It seems that guy hasn't said anything yet! But... this must be very fatal evidence for the murderer!..."
"Okay, let's talk quickly...otherwise the school-level trial will begin later." Lin Xiao said.
Yamada said: "....Well, Ceres said that she witnessed something... But if she didn't tell me, she would be bullying... What do you think...
"
"So, where is she now?" Lin Xiao said.
"The dormitory's warehouse...but maybe no one is there now." Yamada said.
"Forget it, we'll go find her and ask her later..." Lin Xiao said.
Lin Xiao and Naegi entered the women's locker room and saw Kirigiri thinking.
Naegi asked: "Kirikiri...has the search made any progress?"
Kirigiri said: "It's almost done...but I have to go. I have to do some things besides the search..."
"Oh, what is that?" Naegi asked.
"It's not something you need to worry about. Just focus on this murder." Kirigiri said and walked towards the door...with a very mysterious look.
Just when she was about to go out, she suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, there is one last thing to say...Go and search Qianxun's body carefully...Qianxun's student handbook is also missing, take it
It would be better to find out where he is going... That’s all, I wish you good luck.”
Lin Xiao said: "In this case, if we investigate the body again, we will definitely find something new."
After investigation, it was found that Chihiro's hands were tied with something like a rope... It seemed that the rope was used to hang the body in a cross shape... Well, there was a plug at one end of the rope...
..Does that mean it was hung up by the cord of the plug?
Chihiro's fatal injury... was the blow to the head... In other words, he died from a heavy blow to the head, right?
This is rather strange... The Cross Hanging and the Fatal Injury didn't seem strange at first... But after reading the information about the Genocide, I became a little more concerned about it...
And the rope that fixes Chihiro's body...what exactly is this thing...
It seems that we need to investigate clearly. If this thing is related, then we should go to the library again... It would be better to investigate...
Okami Sakura said at this time: "Did you find anything..."
Lin Xiao said: "It has not been confirmed yet..."
Okami Sakura sighed and said: "Qianxun, even among us... is a very weak being...so is the mind, and so is the body...it is unforgivable to target such a weak being...
How despicable..."
Okami Sakura, a burly female fighter, is actually a good person... No wonder Asahina is very close to her...
"...We will definitely find the murderer." Lin Xiao promised.
I left the women's locker room with Naegi and went to the men's locker room next door... After entering, I found that the men's locker room was very neat... not many people had been there.
At this time, Lin Xiao noticed that there was a poster on the wall... Miaomu also noticed it.
Then he said: "This is an idol group that is very popular among girls...the poster of Tornado."
They are all male idols...I always feel that something is wrong. This does not fit well with the men's locker room...
"Wait...the girl's poster doesn't feel right either..."
Naegi said.
Lin Xiao said: "So this is very concerning, why is this happening? No matter how you look at it, it's strange, right?"
Naegi said: "The poster in the men's locker room shows an idol group that is very popular with girls... The poster in the women's locker room shows a giant X idol that is very popular with boys..."
Lin Xiao said: "Actually, when I came here last time... I found that it was not this poster, but the one next door..."
Naegi said: "Does this mean there is an exchange? What's the point of doing such a thing..."
"Well...I haven't figured it out yet," Lin Xiao said.
Continuing to investigate, I found a mark on the carpet and I have no idea what it is...
Forget it, Lin Xiao decided to ask the great god Sakura if she was familiar with them in the swimming room.
"Master Master, you should come here often to exercise, right?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Ever since this place became available, I have been coming here almost every day, and occasionally I go with Asahina..." Ogami said.
Naegi said: "Then I have something to ask you. Have the posters in the women's and men's locker rooms been replaced..."
The master said: "Sorry, I have no memory. I have never paid attention to posters and the like..."
"However, when it comes to this locker room, the email is something that makes me a little concerned..."
The great god said.
"I always like to drink protein coffee after training..."
"Is there coffee here?" Lin Xiao said.
"We have it in the warehouse. Although it's just a bargain, we can only make do with it." The master said.
"Then Wu prepared protein coffee and drank it after every training. But... I accidentally spilled the coffee on the carpet a while ago, which sometimes left stains on it... But
I noticed just now that the stain has disappeared...Did someone clean it? But to put it this way, I feel a little too clean, as if there was no stain from the beginning...
"said the great god.
"I see...I understand." Lin Xiao said.
After that, he continued the investigation and returned to the library...entered the stacks...Lin Xiao found the files and read the information about the Genocide Xiang incident again.
"Naegi, let's go find Ceres... Yamada said she witnessed something." Lin Xiao suggested.
After that, I went to look for Ceres and met Asahina while passing by the restaurant.
Naegi asked: "Asahina, why are you here, how is Touko..."
"Well... she was still like that... refused to come out at all... kept talking about genocide and so on... so I just let her go... After all, although there are a lot of problems, they are very troublesome.
...But you have to fill your stomach..." Asahina said with a smile....
Afterwards, I bid farewell to Asahina and came to the warehouse, where I found Ceres...
Lin Xiao said: "Cerress, what are you doing here?"
Ceres smiled and said: "This warehouse is really amazing. It stores all kinds of daily necessities...from food to sweatshirts to towels, everything you can think of is there."
"That's right... Ceres... have you found any clues related to the incident?" Lin Xiao said.
"As expected...I want to ask this...it seems that my original attempt to fool him with the warehouse's explanation was in vain..." Seres said.
Naegi said: "Then...what do you know?"
Ceres said: "Actually, I saw Qianxun in the warehouse last night... It was near night time... Then I asked her what she was doing here at such a late hour."
"Are you planning to exercise?"
Qianxun said: "How did you know..."
I told her that the sleeves of her blue jacket were exposed from the sports bag she was holding... Then she said she had something to do and left."
"That's right...she really plans to exercise..." Lin Xiao said.
"I originally thought she planned to exercise tomorrow morning, but it seems that she ignored the rules of night time and embarked on the road to exercise... It was because of ignoring the rules that this happened..."
Ceres said.
After that, no further investigation was found, and the school-level trial was about to begin. Monokuma was displayed on the school broadcast screen.
It said: "It's finally the long-awaited school-level trial! So, please gather at the usual place..."
Regardless of whether you want to or not, in order to survive, you must go to that battlefield... Soon you will arrive at the venue for the school-level trial.
After everyone stood up, they all showed uneasy and nervous expressions... Who is the murderer... and who is the genocide Xiang!
Everything will be revealed! Lin Xiao found that he had begun to get used to it... coming to this place felt very familiar... This time he must win.
"Then welcome you once again to the school trial...fufufu." Monokuma said.
"Then let's start the discussion... let's start with the murder weapon." Monokuma's gloating look made people feel very hateful.
Okami Sakura said: "Chihiro's fatal injury should be a head injury..."
"What does it mean when it says blunt objects in Monokuma's file?" Ishimaru said.
Ye Yin said: "It doesn't matter what it is... people are dead anyway."
"That's not okay... what we are discussing is a murder weapon! Take it seriously!" Ishimaru said.
Asahina sighed and said: "Qianxun is so pitiful..."
Naegi said: "Isn't the murder weapon that caused Chihiro's fatal injury the dumbbell at the scene?"
Lin Xiao said: "That's right. Dumbbells are exercise equipment in the swimming pool... The weight and size are very suitable as a murder weapon... And there is blood on the dumbbell. There is no doubt that it can be used as a murder weapon at the scene."
This is it."
"The wound on the victim's head also matches the shape of a dumbbell... There is no reason to doubt, this is unmistakable," Kirigiri said.
Asahina said: "Ah? Have the wounds been investigated?"
"...Facing the corpse...to be so calm...isn't this disgusting..." Yamada said.
Togami said: "Well, the murder weapon has been confirmed, let's continue the discussion... From now on, the discussion will shift to the prisoner."
"Do you already know the identity of the prisoner?" Okami Sakura said.
Togami said: "Well, I have figured out the identity of the prisoner..."
"What!...Is this true?" Ye Yin asked in surprise.
Togami said: "The criminal who killed Chihiro was...serial murderer Demon Slayer Sho..."
The serial killer and genocide Sho... It is true that the situation at the scene is very similar... and according to the file, it is also stated that the killer is a student...
Togami continued: "The culprit is Sho, the genocide...that must be it!"
"Such a thing is impossible, right?" Asahina said.
Ten Gods said: "Why is it impossible?"
"Because... no matter how much you say... this kind of thing... there is no way there is such a person among us, right? Do you have any basis for it?" Asahina said.
Lin Xiao said: "If we go by it...there is indeed...in the files found in the library's stacks, all records...of the events related to the genocide Xiang."
"Wait...wait a minute, that's weird, why is that kind of thing in the library?" Owada said.
Lin Xiao said: "You can think of it as the information collected by Hope's Peak Academy. This academy is not as simple as it seems... In short, this information records the characteristics of the genocide Xiang incident in detail...
..”
"According to those observations, the incident of Xiang, the genocide, has two characteristics..." Togami continued: "First, there must be blood written on the scene..."
"It's the word "blood" in the carnival of blood..." Naegi said.
Togami said: "The important thing is another characteristic... because that has never been circulated on the Internet, which means it is not public at all..."
"What kind of thing!?" Ishimaru said.
Naegi said: "In the case of Sho, the genocide, the victim's body would definitely be hung in the shape of a cross... something like this..."
"The only things circulating on the Internet are Genocide Sho's cruel killing methods and the word "blood", but no mention of this feature, but in fact this feature is what Sho will do every time a murder occurs.
...Except for the top executives who hold the secrets, it is impossible for anyone else to know." Lin Xiao said.
Togami said: "However, in this incident, Qianxun was indeed hung in the shape of a cross... So, how did the prisoner know this? Except for the prisoner and the higher-ups, no one knows...
..The characteristics of the cross hanging...There is only one reason I can think of...the prisoner is the real genocide Sho!"
"Is this...really?" Owada said.
"So... Genocide Sho... is among us... right?" Ceres said.
Lin Xiao said: "The files on the Genocide Xiang incident also indicate that...the prisoner is most likely a student..."
"Fukawa Touko...is the true form of the genocide Sho." Togami suddenly pointed at Touko and said.
Yamada exclaimed: "It's a lie..."
Dongzi looked so panicked that she was even speechless.
"Wait... How is this possible... What Fuyuko is most afraid of is blood... I've never heard of murderers who are afraid of blood!" Asahina said.
Togami said: "Xiang, the genocide, is both her and not her... This is the answer to today's question..."
"What does this sentence mean?" Ye Yin said... "It's not a guessing game..."
Naegi said: "Because Sho, the genocide...is a patient with multiple personalities..."
"Exactly like this, the so-called multiple personality is a kind of mental blast... This is also recorded in the files of the genocide incident... The prisoner will stay at the scene of each murder for a period of time, and then he will
He fled the scene in panic, leaving such traces...but there was not even a single witness, which means the prisoner is most likely a multiple personality patient..." Lin Xiao added.
"So... Dongzi is like this... Isn't it a bit out of touch with reality..." Yamada said.
Togami said: "I can confirm that Fukawa Fuyuko is a patient with multiple personalities. This can be explained by her strange words and actions shortly after the body was found!"
"It's like this... I remember that after she fainted and woke up, her tone of voice changed very strangely," Naegi said.
"It's true. Everyone has seen this... But everyone should be familiar with Dongzi's character traits, right? With that way of speaking and so on, it feels like a completely different person..." Lin Xiao said
.
"In addition, Asahina, when you asked us to go and see Touko Fukawa, I went up to ask her, and she said "Sho, the genocide" to prevent her from doing whatever she wanted... She looked very scared...
. But this person is afraid of other things... After all, the guy locked himself in the room, not to prevent people from outside coming in... but to prevent people inside from getting out...
Fukawa Touko is very scared, afraid that the murderer in her heart will come out and kill people..." Togami said calmly.
"Why...why...?" Dongzi looked shocked.
"That is to say...why do you even know this kind of thing..." Asahina said.
"Asahina...don't you understand yet? Fukawa Touko is asking me why I want to tell you." Togami continued: "That guy once came to me to discuss a strange issue...just last night.
..Not long before I heard the words about the motive from Monokuma... At that time, Touko Fukawa said something particularly meaningful... There is a murderer in her heart... She was worried that it would be exposed, so
I have always been afraid...For this reason, I have developed a gloomy and exclusive character. Isn't that right..."
"Is this really the case?" Lin Xiao asked.
"I obviously promised not to tell anyone, I made an appointment... I was cheated, right..." Dongzi said.
Togami said: "Huh? That's just your unilateral mistake. I didn't ask you. It's you who keeps flaunting your unfortunate deeds unilaterally, right? This is the real world. Who would agree with you?
What about a murderer making a promise? And you were the first to break the promise! You should have said that no matter what happens while you are here, you will never let the genocide kill people... But you failed to do it
....Xiang, the murderer and genocide, it’s time to admit it, right?” (To be continued)
