Chapter 16 Reasons(1/2)
Xiang, the exterminator, said intoxicatedly: "Oh haha...what a beautiful friendship..."
"What we need to do now is to find out who the person we met is also the prisoner, right?" Asahina said.
Naegi Makoto said: "But, with only this clue, we can deduce..."
"...The results are out, right..." Kirigiri said coldly.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Kirigiri...
Ishimaru said: "Really?"
"Who, who is it! Who is the criminal?" Owada said.
Kirigiri said: "Try to focus on the sports bags and sweatshirts that were disposed of by the prisoners... If you think about the characteristics of those things, you should be able to understand who he met...
"
"...Is that true? From the evidence that has been disposed of, we can determine who the prisoner is..." Ceres said.
Yamada, you said: "Are we going to check for fingerprints?"
Ishimaru said: "We don't even have any equipment, so we can't handle it as a layman."
Togami said: "And originally, the evidence has been disposed of. Even if you want to extract fingerprints, you can't do anything without the physical objects."
"Nonetheless, it should be possible to rely on reasoning. If we all discuss it together, we should be able to find clues." Kirigiri said.
Asahina said: "Even if you say we'll discuss it later... Then, let me ask little Ceres... Does that bag or sports have any characteristics?"
"As for bags... they are just ordinary bags placed in the warehouse... There is only one type of bag placed in the warehouse, so even if you ask what the characteristics are..." Ceres thought for a moment.
replied.
Okami Sakura said: "If I remember correctly, there should be different types of sweatshirts... In other words, are there any clues on the sweatshirts that Chihiro once held that can be linked to the prisoner?
...?"
"...How about we have a serious discussion about the sweatshirt he once owned?" Kirigiri said, "It turns out that the victim was planning to exercise...so why...did he choose that one?
Where’s the sweatshirt…”
Togami said: "What does that sweatshirt... mean?"
"I understand, the sweatshirt he chose is... exactly the same as the one held by the prisoner!" Ishimaru said.
"In other words, the real criminal had the same blue sweatshirt as that guy, right? Mine was a black sweatshirt!" Owada said.
Yamada said: "I don't even have a sweatshirt. Who told me I hate sports?"
Ye Yin said: "Mine is a white sweatshirt. It was taken out of the warehouse in the dormitory!"
"Can we really know who the prisoner is by discussing this kind of topic?" Ceres said.
"No, it's impossible." Owada said.
"Wait... Owada, what did you just say? What you just said was very strange!" Lin Xiao said.
"Ah? What's weird?" Owada said.
"Because Ceres's testimony just now never mentioned the color of the sweatshirt, right? You said Qianxun's sweatshirt was blue, how did you know?" Lin Xiao said.
Naegi said: "Nothing was mentioned about the color of the sweatshirt. Even so, why would Owada-kun..."
"Owada! How did you know that the sweatshirt Chihiro once held was blue!" Lin Xiao said.
Owada said: "What are you talking about...you!"
"Hey Ceres, what color is Chihiro's sweatshirt..." Togami said.
Ceres said: "It's true...it's blue..."
Lin Xiao said: "Did you tell anyone about this matter before the trial at the school level?"
Ceres shook her head and said, "I didn't mention the color of the sweatshirt."
"So, when did Owada know about the fact that Chihiro's sweatshirt is blue..." Okami Sakura said.
"Well, well...!" Owada said.
Ishimaru said: "I must have found that sweatshirt during the search..."
Lin Xiao said: "No, when we started the search, it should be after the sports bag and sweatshirt had been disposed of."
"Then, the reason why this guy Owada knows the color of the sweatshirt... is because he saw it when Chi-chan was holding it before he died! There won't be any other situation!" Sho, the genocide said, "
Say! What’s going on? Did you see the sweatshirt? Or not?”
Owada said: "It's just a coincidence... Last night, I happened to see that guy walking with a sweatshirt..."
Lin Xiao said: "Owada, Ceres said that Qianxun put the sweatshirt in her bag...how did you see her holding the sweatshirt?"
"Indeed, Chihiro stuffed all the sweatshirts into the bag after being reminded by Ceres! So even if you happened to see it, you probably wouldn't know the color of the sweatshirt hidden in the bag...
"Miaomu said.
Kirigiri said: "...Did you dig your own grave?"
"It's better to say that this reaction is exactly what you want, isn't it? That's why you said that, right? You can tell who the guy is meeting by looking at the characteristics of Chihiro's sweatshirt...that kind of thing
How is it possible to know...but it happens that the prisoner is really stupid." Togami said.
Ceres said: "...I see, you're just trying to be mysterious, right? Your real purpose is to elicit the prisoner's gaffe... Is that what it's like? For that purpose, you say that you already know the prisoner.
Things come to shake things up..."
"That's right...it's just...I planned to launch an attack from the beginning, because I always knew he was suspicious." Kirigiri pointed at Owada as if it were a matter of course.
"But...why...you think Owada-kun is suspicious." Naegi said.
"I understand... The reason why this happened is because Owada-kun's name for Chihiro suddenly changed... Even he didn't know it..." Lin Xiao said and looked at the pale Owada
Said: "Owada, maybe you don't realize that you call men and women differently... For women, you use the woman to call them, and for men, you should call them that guy...
.”
"After the murder incident, Owada-kun started calling Chihiro that guy... That's what I thought at that time, Owada-kun, you already know that Chihiro is a boy..." Kiri
Say it.
Yamada said: "You notice such trivial things?"
"Are you a witch? What a terrifying woman!" Xiang, the genocide said.
"It's not me who's not scary... What's really scary is the person who kills people, his companions..." Kirigiri said.
"There is another place. After it was discovered that Chihiro was a boy, the scene of the crime was actually the boys' locker room... That means that only men have the possibility of killing, excluding me, Naegi, Togami... only
That leaves Yamada, Ishimaru, and Owada...and among them, the one who has a closer relationship with Chihiro is you, Owada, right..."
Lin Xiao said.
Naegi said: "Owada-kun...is it really...you?"
"You're not killing people!" Owada shouted... "And what are you doing from beginning to end... I just started asking questions, always finding faults, picking out words... You're trying to make me
Are you being interrogated as a prisoner?"
Ishimaru said: "That's right! It's impossible for brothers to do such a thing. Are you looking for trouble?"
"Indeed...it's not very convincing as a basis." Kirigiri said.
"But it's really troublesome... there are no clues anymore..." Ceres said.
"Hoo ho ho, it's finally time for me to appear!" Yamada said.
"Speaking of which, Yamada once said that he found evidence related to the prisoner," Naegi said.
"Really? What kind of evidence is that!" Asahina said.
Yamada was silent for a moment and then waved his hand and said: "Well... think about it calmly... maybe it doesn't matter at all... Don't have such high expectations..."
Ye Yin scratched his head and said: "...Don't lose your confidence so quickly...Okay, show it to me quickly?"
Yamada said: "It's all about this...that..."
Saying this, Yamada took out an electronic student handbook... Genocide Sho said: "Oh? What is that."
"It's an electronic student handbook... I found it after it fell somewhere and picked it up..." Yamada said.
"I remember Qianxun's electronic student handbook disappeared from the scene, right? In that case, this electronic student handbook...is his thing?" Lin Xiao said.
"Sure enough, it must be that one! I thought so too, could this be something from Chihiro-den?" Yamada said.
Asahina said: "So, will there be clues about the prisoner?"
Yamada lowered his head and said: "...I think so...but this one is broken so it can't be started..."
Ceres said: "I'm afraid the criminal destroyed the evidence when destroying it after the murder..."
"...But it's a bit strange...The electronic student handbook shouldn't be something that can be broken so easily, right?" Togami said.
"Well, you're right...it's a very powerful and wonderful thing." Monokuma said.
Ceres said: "But in fact, it is indeed broken, and so is Kuwata-kun's in the entrance hall... You are still confidently boasting that they are completely broken."
