Chapter 15 The Murderer

The scene fell into silence, and finally Lin Xiao broke the silence.

"Togami-kun...you said that you killed Qianxun in the women's locker room, right? But is that really the case?"

"What does this sentence mean?" Okami Sakura asked.

"...There is a doubt. There is a high possibility that the scene is somewhere else." Naegi said.

Togami said: "It's really... disappointing to me... I thought I would say something... but my expectations were disappointed... There is no doubt that the guy died in the female dressing room."

It's inside the room...the scene can't be anywhere else."

"However, it is possible to transport the body here after killing someone else! And...the most clever trick of the criminal is...to transport the body together with the entire scene!" Lin Xiao said.

Ten Gods asked in confusion: "With the scene...?"

"How is this possible!" Asahina said.

"...Why do you have such an idea?" Ceres said.

"To have such an idea... you must have some basis for it, right?..." Togami said.

"Of course...the basis that can prove that the scene is somewhere else...is the poster posted in the locker room..." Lin Xiao said.

"I see. After investigation, we found that the posters posted in the women's locker room were...photo posters of female idols that are very popular among boys...Isn't this strange? Because the posters in the women's locker room turned out to be...

It will be a portrait of a female idol..." Naegi said.

"Not only is that simple, but something even more strange is that the men's locker room has a poster of the idol group Tornado, which is very popular among girls... This is completely different from the men's locker room.

In line with... Of course, the most important reason is that after the building was opened not long ago, Naegi and I both entered the men's locker room. The posters inside were of female idols at first... But at the crime scene, they were

It has been replaced..." Lin Xiao said.

"In other words, the posters in the women's locker room and the men's locker room have been exchanged?" Ceres said.

"That's not all, there is another strange place in these two locker rooms..." Naegi said.

Lin Xiao said: "This point... Master Dashen should be very clear."

"Are you trying to say...about protein coffee?" Okami Sakura replied.

Lin Xiao nodded and gestured for her to continue speaking...

"Previously, when I was exercising in the women's locker room, I spilled my protein coffee on the floor... However... when I looked at it after the incident, the mark had been completely cleaned..." Master

Sakura said.

"The mark was not cleaned, it was just moved..." Lin Xiao said, "The place where it was moved was the men's locker room next door. During the investigation, we found this on the carpet of the men's locker room.

Found such traces..."

"That is indeed... the traces of the protein coffee I spilled..." Okami Sakura said.

"So that means that even the carpets have been exchanged, right?" Ceres said, "But... what is the purpose of this?"

Lin Xiao said: "Of course it was to move the scene...to move the crime scene from the men's locker room to the women's locker room...that is to say, the prisoner exchanged the scene...along with the body...

The blood-stained posters and carpets were moved..."

"As long as you do this, you can exchange the scene of the room..." Naegi said.

"Indeed, you can think about it from this perspective... But what is the meaning of that kind of behavior?" Ceres said.

Meaning, the purpose of the criminal in any case must be to hide the crime and prevent the investigation from discovering the methods he used.

Otherwise, why go through all the trouble, all just to escape... If you think about it this way... there must be some reason why the prisoner took this action.

Togami said: "Exchange the scene...what's the point of doing something like that..."

Ceres said: "Before that...if the real murder scene was in the men's locker room...how did Chihiro, the victim, enter the men's locker room...

?”

"...These are all problems. If you want to enter the locker room, you have no other way but to use the card reader to identify the electronic student handbook... But as a female, Chihiro's electronic student handbook should only be used

Come and enter the women's locker room!" Sere continued.

Ishimaru said: "In this case, there should be no way for her to enter the men's locker room..."

"No... there is a method. It seems that I will tell you all?" Ye Yin said.

"...It's really suspicious." Ceres said.

"It's not suspicious at all! Let me reveal the truth to you! That method!" Ye Yin said.

"Does it really exist? A way to let girls enter the men's locker room!" Ceres said.

"Ah! I already understand! She transformed the electronic student handbook! She is a super high school-level programmer... She should be able to do it at this level!" Ishimaru said.

"Transformation should be impossible... First of all, why did she need to transform? Especially to go to the boys' locker room? Is this possible? .... There is also the electronic student handbook Monokuma said that this thing is very important

It's relatively difficult to damage...it shouldn't be that easy to modify," Naegi said.

"Yes, Ishimaru, your idea is wrong. The real reason is that the guy used the one in the entrance hall... In the entrance hall, there is Kuwada-san's electronic student handbook, which was placed in the mailbox. If she used that, she

You can enter the men's locker room!" Ye Yin said.

"Mailbox? What is that?" Yamada said.

"The electronic handbooks of dead students will be recycled in the mailbox... But Ha Yin said that Qianxun used Kuwata-kun's student handbook. This kind of thing is impossible no matter how you think about it..." Lin Xiao said.

"Why?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully.

"Because it's broken, Mr. Sangtian's student handbook..." Lin Xiao said.

"That's it! Then there's nothing we can do!" Ye Yin said with a simple smile.

Okami Sakura complained: "It's really easy to give up..."

"Let's not talk about that. Isn't it against school rules to use someone else's student handbook?" Ceres said.

Togami said: "The school rules say that lending to others is prohibited. Lending to others is prohibited, but borrowing from others is not prohibited."

"You can even steal it and take it over. In other words, no matter how many times you take the electronic student handbook from a dead person, it should not violate school rules! All of these methods are valid... This is Monokuma

It’s just a literal trap..." Lin Xiao said.

"Pfft, it's true... I was discovered by you! That's right! That's the truth..." Monokuma said.

"However, if it is already broken, there is no point in talking about it..." Togami said.

Ishimaru said: "In this case, she must have been transformed to be able to go in! Using her ability as a super high school-level programmer..."

"As I said, it is impossible to modify the electronic student handbook. If someone opens the electronic student handbook, an alarm will sound!" Monokuma said.

Okami Sakura said: "....It is neither Kuwata's electronic student handbook, nor can it be modified."

"That means...the current reasoning is wrong?" Yamada said.

"If the victim cannot enter the men's locker room, it seems like this..." Asahina said.

Ishimaru said: "Then, I will vote for Ten Gods!"

At this time, Kirigiri, who had been silent, spoke: "...Wait a moment, the reasoning so far, I think the idea is good, I agree with the current reasoning..."

"Ah? I just thought you would finally speak...but what do you mean by that?" Owada said..."That guy can't enter the men's locker room...so...

..”

"...Why, why do you conclude that she cannot enter the men's locker room? There is still a possibility that she can enter, right?" Kirigiri said.

"...What?" Owada said.

Ishimaru said: "Kirikiri-kun! What kind of possibility is that?"

"Really? In order to figure this out, I'm temporarily suspending the school-level trial. I want to take everyone to a place to take a short break..." Kirigiri said.

Monokuma said: "Wait? What are you talking about...!"

"I think this can make the atmosphere of the school-level trial even higher... This should be in line with your wishes!" Kirigiri said...

"Ah...? It can make the atmosphere of the school-level trial... even higher... That's fine. I am announcing that the school-level trial will be suspended for a moment!" Monokuma said.

"Eh? Really?" Asahina was shocked.

"So, where is the thing you want us to see?...If it's something boring, I won't spare you." Monokuma said.

Kirigiri said: "I will definitely live up to your expectations, so let's go..."

Just like that, the school-level trial was inexplicably interrupted, and then, led by Kirigiri, he walked somewhere...

Then we came to the women's locker room... Ishimaru said: "This place has been thoroughly investigated a long time ago. What do you want to do here now?"

Kirigiri said expressionlessly: "The victim's body... Let's investigate it in detail... We need to investigate the whole body carefully..."

Yamada said: "Careful...are you going to touch the body...?"

"For women's bodies...it's better for me to avoid it," Ishimaru said.

Ye Yin said: "I am not disgusting or anything like that...but I don't know if it will involve religious issues..."

"Then let me do it." Okami Sakura said.

Then she walked over and investigated carefully, then let out a frightened roar: "It's a man!"

"That's it, it turns out it's a man. Thank you so much...Wait! No! Ah..." Yamada shouted in horror...

Ye Yin said: "...Are you kidding?"

Okami Sakura said: "I...can't joke..."

"Then...is it true..." Ishimaru was stunned...

After investigation, one thing was confirmed: Qianxun is actually a man...

At this time Monokuma said: "Oh, oh, oh? Don't you all know? This kind of thing has been obvious from the beginning! That guy is the legendary transvestite!"

"Wear women's clothes for Mao! Damn it, you're so cute! Just strike first!" Xiang, the exterminator, looked unwilling.

"I see... This is what Kirigiri said he wanted us to see... Fufufufu, it's really interesting... This thing has successfully made the atmosphere lively! So,

, just continue to maintain this motivation and return to the court, and continue the discussion quickly!" Monokuma said.

After that, he returned to the school-level trial court... Hei Bichon said: "Oh... let everyone wait, the school-level trial will continue... I discovered a shocking fact! That guy turned out to be a boy, so

, please continue!"

"Although I don't know what the reason is, Chihiro is not a woman, but a man...that's for sure. So, since the victim is a man, it shouldn't be a problem to be able to enter the men's locker room...

...." Kirigiri said.

Togami analyzed: "Since that guy's electronic student handbook is a man's thing... then it can be done..."

Monokuma said: "Of course, he was given an electronic student handbook for boys because he is a transvestite!"

"In this case, there is absolutely no problem with the initial reasoning... The victim was killed in the men's locker room... After that, he was moved to the women's locker room..." Kirigiri said.

"If you want to enter the women's locker room and use the entrance hall to die...if you have Enoshima or Maizono-san's electronic student handbook, this shouldn't be difficult," Lin Xiao said.

Ishimaru said: "So, the scene where Chihiro-kun was killed was really the men's locker room!"

"Same as before, the intention of moving the scene is still unclear, but it is very likely..." Kirigiri said.

Togami said: "This fact surprised me, but it connects...all the mysteries have finally been solved!"

"What do you mean it's been solved... It should have been successfully discussed before that you are the prisoner..." Asahina said.

Togami said: "Haha... interesting... it's so interesting, isn't it..."

Yamada said: "I feel like he looks scary like this... He has gone to a different world from us..."

"So, if we want to continue the reasoning now, are there any other clues? Or maybe we think the culprit is Togami-kun." Kirigiri said.

Naegi said: "The person who disguised Chihiro's death as the crime of Genocide Sho... I don't think there is anyone else who can be found, and it is undoubtedly Togami-kun... because the person who knew about Gencide Sho's incident was the earliest

Only the Ten Gods."

"Although that's true... But seedlings, have you still not found the key evidence..." Lin Xiao said.

Naegi nodded and said: "That's right... Sure enough, the prisoner should not be Togami-kun..."

Yamada said: "What...? You were the one who brought it up first?"

"Look at Togami-kun, he is so at ease, as if he is enjoying the process of solving the puzzle... He has a completely unconcerned attitude... Real criminals can't do this...

." Lin Xiao said.

"His attitude is because it's really none of his business...?" Ceres said.

"And...the evidence and stuff, it feels too straightforward...the lamp extension cord and the genocide incident...if it was really Togami-kun who did it, I don't think he would have been discovered so easily.

." Lin Xiao said.

Naegi said: "Also, when he found out that the murder scene was in the men's locker room, he showed a visibly shaken look... The same thing happened when he learned that Chihiro was a boy..."

Togami said: "I see...That's it...Although I still feel that there is a lack of clear basis...Forget it, it's okay, in short, you have the right answer..."

"What does the correct answer mean?" Asahina said.

"As Naegi said, I am not a prisoner... I just accidentally discovered the body in the women's locker room and wanted to try to disguise it like that, that's all..." Togami suddenly said,

To everyone's surprise...it turned out to be him who was camouflaging the scene.

Owada said: "You...you bastard, what are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense...this is the truth!" Togami said.

Ishimaru said: "Who would believe it?"

"If you don't want to believe it, that's okay. Is it okay for everyone to be executed in a close and friendly manner?" Togami said.

Lin Xiao said: "It's hard to understand your behavior. Why did you disguise the body? And you did it like a genocide hunter Xiang."

"That reason doesn't matter anymore... What's more important now is to find the prisoner, right? Who is the real prisoner?!" Togami said.

"Well...if we don't continue to discuss it, I don't know..." Naegi said.

Ye Yin said: "Do you want to continue? It's enough, isn't it? No matter how you think about it, the prisoner is a relative of the Ten Gods!"

"...I will continue to accompany you. If you still have any questions, you must discuss it to the end...If you make a mistake here...we will all be executed together..." Kirigiri said.

Ceres smiled and said: "...You are right, so I will accompany you to the end."

"Of course I will also participate! After all, it is not okay to be careless with your own life..." Ye Yin said.

Ishimaru pointed at him and said, "Don't you have any opinion?"

"There are still some opinions!" Ye Yin said.

Lin Xiao said: "Then let's continue to discuss and see..."

"Indeed, that's true..." Okami Sakura said.

Asahina said sadly: "After all...you are risking your life..."

"In that case... let's start the game of finding the prisoner again..." Togami said.

For some purpose, Togami disguised the scene, but he was not the prisoner... So who is the real prisoner?

Judging from the current situation, the prisoner can enter the real scene, which means the prisoner is... a boy.

Since the site is a men's locker room, if you want to enter there, you must have the boys' electronic student handbook... Since Kuangtian's electronic handbook cannot be used, the prisoner must use his own.

Are there any other clues...Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

Okami Sakura said: "Are there no clues about the prisoner?"

Ishimaru said: "....Even if you give us clues...didn't anyone witness the culprit?"

"If you witnessed it, just tell it from the beginning..." Ye Yin said.

The great god said: "If you witness the victim, you can..."

"Now, even if there is very little, new information is needed..." Asahina said.

Ye Yin said: "No...it really can't be done...are you at your wits' end?"

Yamada said: "Are we going to give up here?!..."

"I remembered...Classmate Ceres...you said you saw Qianxun when it was almost night time, right?" Lin Xiao asked.

"...Speaking of it, it is indeed true. I have seen it before..." Ceres said.

Yamada said: "Huh? Really?..."

Ceres said: "Yes... Because the atmosphere of the school trial was too solemn, I forgot about it... But luckily I told Naegi and the others about this matter, so you don't know about it.

That's why this unbearable riot happened, right..."

"Okay, let's get to the point!" Ishimaru said.

"It was yesterday, not long before night time, that I witnessed Chihiro-kun in the warehouse of the dormitory... She stuffed clothes like sweatshirts into her sports bag... It looked like she was afraid

I’m going to exercise..." Ceres said.

"Stuffing a sweatshirt into the sports bag...? But there was no such thing left at the scene!" Ishimaru said.

Okami Sakura said: "The horror has been dealt with by the prisoners...in order to destroy the evidence..."

Ceres said: "At that time, I was more concerned about what he said."

"At that time, he said that he had something urgent, something he needed to do urgently... He had an appointment and tax relief. Can you think of it that way?" Ceres said.

Yamada said: "That is... Qianxunden made an appointment to meet with someone, and then went to exercise with that person...?"

Okami Sakura said: "Asahina and I have invited you several times, but you have never practiced with us once...?"

Lin Xiao said: "There's nothing we can do about it. I guess she doesn't want to expose her true identity... Otherwise, if she follows you, it will expose the fact that he can't enter the women's locker room."

"On the other hand, the person he made an appointment to meet is quite trusted by him...so much so that even if important secrets are exposed, it doesn't matter..." Ceres said.

Trust... Who is the person Qianxun trusts... Lin Xiao is thinking. (To be continued)
