Finding the murderer is not only for yourself, but also for the dead...
Lin Xiao opened the Black and White Bear file and it read.
The victim was Sakura Ogami....The time of death was around 1 noon....
The scene where the body was found was the recreation room of the school district building....
There were signs of blows to the victim's head. It seemed that he had been hit hard...
Other than that, there were no obvious injuries....
In addition to the external appearance, the victim also suffered from severe vomiting of blood...
Kirigiri said: "This incident...may be quite difficult..."
Naegi said: "How to say?"
Lin Xiao said: "...the only entrance and exit to the entertainment room is the door on the side when we came in...and because there was a chair placed on the inside of the room door, it happened to jam the door handle...so the door was opened.
Don't open it... So, after blocking the door with a chair, the murderer escaped from the specified place?"
Naegi said: "That's right... The inside of the only door is sealed, and it's impossible to get in without breaking the window... There's nowhere to escape... But the murderer has definitely disappeared..."
Kirigiri said: "It's just a secret room murder..."
Naegi said: "Although it seems true, that's what happened in the novel."
Lin Xiao said: "Maybe solving the mystery of this secret room is one of the keys."
Kirigiri said: "There are four types of so-called secret room murders. First of all, the first type is a secret room constructed after the crime is completed... This is the type where the murderer uses some method to create a secret room after the prisoner commits the crime.
....Most of them are about door lock techniques...the original method of locking using silk thread or gears, or using a mechanism to lock...there are various methods."
Lin Xiao said: "But this incident doesn't seem to be the case... Just in case, we will investigate the door later."
Kirigiri said: "Then the second type is that the victim was already in a secret room situation before the crime occurred...In other words, special tools or methods are used to attack the victim inside from outside the secret room...such as pressing
A pistol firing device that fires when a switch is turned on or off, or an arrow can be released from the crack in the door, etc. But this time it is not applicable. There is no pistol or archery academy, and this door does not have such a door crack.
..."
Kirigiri said: "The next type is the third type. When the secret room is destroyed, the murderer is still in the secret room..."
"...Does that mean the murderer is hiding indoors?" Naegi said.
Lin Xiao said: "For example, when the secret room is destroyed, you can sneak in and pretend to be the discoverer who came at that time..."
Kirigiri said: "The last one is that it is not a secret room... In other words, there are other hidden escape hatches in the room... But it seems impossible now, and there is no problem in ruling it out."
Naegi said: "Then which of the four types of events is this incident?"
Kirigiri said: "...Yes, this matter should become the focus of this school trial...But it's still too early to know...so I can't say for sure."
The murderer created a secret room. If we can't find this method, we can't solve the truth behind the death of Mr. Ogami...
Lin Xiao said: "A great classmate, he was actually killed...I am very surprised about this."
Naegi nodded and said: "Indeed, he is obviously not a person who will be killed easily..."
Kirigiri said: "Yes, she is a super high school-level fighter with a strong body and mind...How did the murderer kill her? No, how could he kill her...
..”
Naegi said: "It seems... this is a way to catch her off guard...?"
Kirigiri said: "Indeed, it would be almost impossible for Ogami-san to be killed without any surprise..."
Lin Xiao said: "Maybe it's some kind of cruel method..."
Continuing the investigation, when Mr. Ogami died, he maintained the posture of sitting on the chair and leaning forward... with his head lowered...
If I remember correctly, there were signs of heavy blows on the head of Ogami-san's body... Generally speaking, it should be a fatal injury...
But according to the records in the Monokuma file, Master Daishen should have vomited blood... Then Lin Xiao found that there were indeed traces of vomiting blood on his mouth...
So what is the cause of vomiting blood? There is no trauma other than the head, which is what the Monokuma files say....
Naegi said: "Could it be... that he vomited blood after being beaten on the head?"
Togami said: "It's impossible...but your focus is very interesting...I have to praise you."
Naegi said: "Ah? I don't think...there's anything interesting...it's just a little strange..."
"This is the key point..." Togami said.
Then Lin Xiao found some glass fragments and broken bottles behind where the master was sitting, with the bottle mouth and bottom scattered on the ground.
In other words, these glass fragments were originally bottles...
Then I found a palm-sized black and white bear model next to the glass fragments...
There are four red bottles lined up on the cabinet in the entertainment room, and each bottle has a black and white bear model...
Naegi Tate: "Speaking of which...how on earth did this model fit into the bottle..."
Kirigiri said: "It's the same as a ship in a bottle... That is, a model of a sailboat is put into a bottle that is smaller than the body of the ship. This type of craft... This is probably the Monokuma version, black and white
Bear bottle...."
In this way, what I just discovered...the Monokuma bottle placed on the cabinet...and the Monokuma model that fell on the ground...should have been the red glass fragments in the bottle...
In other words, Ogami-san was beaten on the head with a Monokuma bottle, right?
The evidence is the fragments and the Monokuma model on the floor...which means the murder weapon is the Monokuma bottle...
Then Lin Xiao discovered that the door of the locker in the entertainment room was open, and there were some strange fingerprints on the inside of the locker...
Kirigiri said: "Why are there fingerprints left in a place like this?"
Naegi said: "There was a thick layer of dust inside the locker, so the parts that were touched seemed to have left fingerprints..."
Kirigiri said: "These fingerprints look very new... They should be the fingerprints left by someone hiding in the locker at that time..."
Naegi said: "In this case, the murderer hid in the locker before the secret room was destroyed? Then when the secret room was destroyed, he appeared among the crowd!"
Kirigiri said: "...Unfortunately, there is no such possibility..."
Lin Xiao said: "Before the secret room was destroyed, didn't we look at the entertainment room through the glass?"
Naegi thought for a moment and said, "Yes...the locker was already open at that time...it's impossible for anyone to be hiding in it."
Then Lin Xiao continued to search the scene and found that a piece of wrapping paper had fallen not far from the body of the great god...
Asahina said: "Huh? This is..."
Naegi said: "Asahina...you know?"
Asahina said: "That is the wrapping paper of the candy. I gave it to her... I was injured after the quarrel with the genocide. Wasn't Sakura very angry? So I found her after that and gave the candy to her.
He... This is a candy I found in the dormitory warehouse... I like eating this very much... So, soon after I could enter the warehouse, I moved the whole box back to the room.... So other people no longer
Maybe I got it..."
There is blood stains in front of the magazine shelf in the entertainment room... It should be Ogami-san's blood, but even so it's a bit strange... Why is it so far away from the body?
"Yes...I have something to say..." Asahina said.
"What's going on?"
"Fukawa, Hagakure, Togami, there must be a murderer among them..." Asahina said.
"...But we haven't investigated clearly yet..." Lin Xiao said.
"It's like this. Those three people were called out by Ah Ying... and they were called to this recreation room... When they were sent to the health room this morning, I caught up with Ah Ying who left, but
After that, Ah Ying went to another place alone... But then I asked her, and she said she was going to get an umbrella and leave a note in her private room... It said to come to the recreation room before noon...
Everything I said was true, because it was what Ah Ying said...and I tried to stop her at the time, but Ah Ying didn't listen. She said she was just talking to them and told me not to worry...
As a result, something like this happened. If I had stopped her resolutely at that time, this kind of thing would not have happened..." Asahina said.
Unexpectedly, all three of them were called out...
Some blue fragments and an empty bottle were found at the door of the recreation room... Kirigiri said: "This is protein powder... Ogami drank this, she often drinks protein powder drinks...
"
Lin Xiao looked at it and saw that the protein powder bottle had the label Chemistry Room A- on it... That's right, there is good protein in the chemistry room on the fourth floor.
In other words, this was brought from the chemistry room...
Kirigiri said: "But something strange is that the bottles scattered around..."
Naegi said: "This seems to be the shard of glass I broke on the door..."
Lin Xiao said: "But logically speaking, these glass fragments should not appear under the bottle, right?"
Kirigiri said: "Maybe it's an important clue... write it down first."
Lin Xiao said: "Let's ask the Ten Gods about the note the Great God left for them."
Then he told Naegi and Togami: "Um, Togami-san has something to ask you..."
Togami said: "...let's make a long story short."
"I heard that Ogami-san asked you to come to the recreation room. Is that true?" Naegi said.
Togami chuckled and said: "That's it... you know it... Indeed, there is such a note on the door of my room... But what fool would go to an appointment like this? Knowing that maybe
Will be killed by monsters..."
"Didn't you go to see him?" Naegi said.
"Nonsense... I tore up the note and threw it away. After all, I haven't seen the great god even once today."
The ten gods said.
I don't know if what he said is true or not...but it makes some sense.
Then Lin Xiao and the others investigated the door and found that the door had no lock, and they could not see that the door shaft parts had been removed very close.
I didn't find any mechanism...
Only the window was broken, but that was what Naegi broke just now to get into the house...
, there is a chair next to the door, and it is because of this that the door cannot be opened...
There are no signs of manipulation on the chair...
Judging from the investigation of the door and chair alone, neither the chair nor the door constitutes a secret room...
Kirigiri said: "How about it? I should have roughly investigated it once, right?"
Lin Xiao said: "That's right. It seems there are no more discoveries here."
Kirigiri said: "In that case, let's go look for other clues. I am responsible for monitoring the scene and cannot leave here. I will leave it to you next."
Naegi nodded and went out with Lin Xiao to find Fuchuan and Ye Yin...
Arriving at the door of Fuchuan's room, he pressed the doorbell.
The door to the room opened a crack, and Fuchuan stuck his head out and said gloomily.
"Who is it? What's the matter?"
Naegi said: "I have returned to Fuchuan-san..."
Fuchuan said: "Don't mention that guy... I feel so uncomfortable..."
Lin Xiao said: "That's right, has Mr. Fu Chuan been called out by Mr. Da Shen?"
Fuchuan said: "I don't know, I don't know anything..."
Naegi said: "Togami has admitted to being called out..."
Fuchuan said: "Eh...? Byakuya-sama was also handed over by that guy...? Ah, I accidentally said it, which means I was also called out... I can't hide it...
.”
Naegi said: "Yes, are you willing to tell us?"
"I did see the note...but I didn't go to see her because I was too scared..." Fuchuan said.
Then I went to find Ye Yin...
Ye Yin also said that such a thing happened, but he said that he definitely did not go...
He also said that the last time he saw Okami was when he sent Asahina a note after sending Asahina to the health room.
Haven’t seen it since!
But he was a little flustered, and then when he asked if he could take out the note and look at it,
He searched in his pocket for a while, and a piece of wrapping paper fell out...it looked very familiar.
Then he ended the conversation unilaterally and fled back to the room...
The questioning is over, and now there is a lack of other testimony and evidence...
Now, it would be better to go to the chemistry room and take a look. That's where the protein powder comes from...
So Lin Xiao and Naegi went to the chemistry classroom, and unexpectedly met Togami in the classroom, and he seemed to be investigating.
After seeing the two of them, he said: "Humph, thank you for paying attention to this place."
After that, the investigation continues... (To be continued)
