Chapter 24: Hope and Despair
Lin Xiao said: "Immediately afterward, we just walked out of the health room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoγγγγ Serles said that she noticed a figure flashing on the second floor. β
"Hearing from Thres's eyewitness testimony, we immediately split up and began to search the 2nd floor... Shortly after the search began... Miao Mu said.
"This time it's on the third floorγγγγγ I saw a suspicious person... I'll scream right away so everyone knows!"
Miao Mu said: "It's a very exaggerated cry... But the point is that the search has not yet been carried out on the 3rd floor... I heard Yamada-kun's screams. β
Lin Xiao said: "After that, we went our separate ways... Divided into 2 groups... I returned to the health room on the 1st floor with Sereth, Asahina, and Naekiγγγγγ β
Naemi said, "The Great God, the Ten Gods-kun and the Rotcheon went to the 3rd floor to continue searching for suspicious charactersγγγγγγ β
"Then, we returned to the infirmary and found Yamada-kun's body... Lin Xiao said.
"It was at that time that I heard the announcement of the discovery of the body... β
"After that, in order to convey this, I went back to the 3rd floor with Naeki... Seres and Asahina stayed behind to look after the scene. Lin Xiao said.
Okami said sadly, "At that time, we had just found Ishimaru's body in the physics room on the third floorγγγγγ The discovery of the bodies of Yamada and Ishimaru should have been almost simultaneousγγγγγ As soon as I found Ishimaru's body, I heard the announcement playingγγγγγ β
Naemi said, "Then we also conveyed the fact that Yamada-kun was killedγγγγγγ Then everyone decided to go to the health room togetherγγγγγ β
"Just walked out of the physics roomγγγγγ Everyone heard something surprising from Sereth, who was belatedγγγγγγ Lin Xiao said.
Seres said, "Yamada-kun's body is gone... That's what I said at the time ... β
Everyone anxiously rushed back to the health room, but Yamada-kun's body was goneγγγγγγ Lin Xiao said.
The great god said: "Before I came, I left the rotten river that was unconscious because of the blood, and we returned to the physical preparation room again. However.... β
Lin Xiao said: "This time, even Shimaru's body disappearedγγγγγ β
"Oops. It's really useless Fuyuko Rotkawa.γγγγ The murderer was next to her unconscious, but the body was not foundγγγγγ Gaha... If it were me, I wouldn't know if the murderer had been caught by now!" said the exterminator.
"Immediately after that, we began to search the bodies of the two men who had disappearedγγγγγ Lin Xiao said.
"After a while... After learning from Seres that the body had been found, we went to the art warehouseγγγγγ The Ten Gods said.
Lin Xiao said: "Two disappeared bodies were found there... Well, I guess it was transported by the murderer. β
"That's the process of a series of eventsγγγγγ β
"It's very well arranged, and I think it's been well plannedγγγγγ The murderer this time is really powerful. Lin Xiao said.
"It's a rather complicated event... Considering all of this as a series of successive events, it doesn't seem like there's going to be much progressγγγγγ β
"So, what to do now... Miao Mu said.
"Think of it not as a succession of events, but as separate eventsγγγγγ And then from there, you can find out the contradiction of this event... Fog Cut said.
"That's what you say, but what exactly should you do?" Asahina said.
"Hmmm... The first is the hidden contradiction in the incident of Ishimaru-kunγγγγγ Fog Cut said.
Ye Yin said: "What is the contradiction? . . . β
"Originally, when Ishimaru-kun was killedγγγγγ Was it before Yamada-kun was killed, or was it after that?" said Kirikiri.
Asahina said: "The order in which the two of them will be killed has been decidedγγγγγ Ishimaru is obviously behind. β
The great god said, "Why do you think that... οΌβ
"Because of the order of the hammer of justice ... Asahina said.
Togami said, "Indeed, Yamada was killed by Hammer No. 3γγγγγγ Ishimaru was killed by Hammer No. 4. . . οΌβ
"Look,Apparently Ishimaru is behind... Asahina said.
"If you just look at a number, you can't draw a complete conclusion, and the order of the hammer of justice is not necessarily the order of the killed... Perhaps this was a method used by the killer to hide himselfγγγγγ No, it should be said that this must be a murderer's trap... Whether it's numbers or hammers, they're all prepared by the murderer... It's all the murderer's disguise workγγγγγ β
The Ten Gods said, "Since the numbers of those hammers of justice are the camouflage work of the criminals, that is to say... The actual order in which they are killed is ... Ishimaru first, Yamada last... So, you can give us a little bit of that basis. β
Lin Xiao said: "Of course, there is... What can be proved is in Ishimaru's body... The hands of the slain Ishimaru-kun's watch were broken at 6 o'clockγγγγγγγ β
"I'm afraid it was damaged when the prisoner attacked it, because last night, when we saw it, it was still good. Fog Cut said.
Lin Xiao said: "Since it wasn't broken last night, then he must have been attacked at more than 6 o'clock this morningγγγγγ β
Naemi said: "In other words, Ishimaru-kun was killed at this time... β
Okami said, "However, if it is 6 o'clock in the morning, it will be much earlier than the time when Yamada was killedγγγγγ β
Lin Xiao said: "The file given by the black and white bear this time did not mention the time of death, presumably to hide something... β
"In the beginning, before 7 o'clock in the morning when Seres was attackedγγγγγ β
"In terms of time, Ishimaru-kun's killing happened earlier than that timeγγγγγ Fog Cut said.
Miao Mu said: "We just had a misunderstanding about the timeγγγγγγ The order of events was mistaken due to the number of the hammer of justice. β
"This prisoner deliberately numbered all the murder weapons... The murder weapons used were larger than the otherγγγγγ β
The Ten Gods said, "The means are very, very psychological, all in order to make us mistakenly believe that events are carried out in the order of the hammers... β
Kiri said, "Ishimaru-kun was killed at around 6 o'clock in the morning, and when he was killed, everyone's alibi was uselessγγγγγ Because, when his incident took place, it was before we met with the cafeteria... οΌβ
Okami said, "Indeed, regarding the murder of Ishimaru, it may indeed be true... But when Yamada was killed, all of us should have had alibiγγγγγ οΌβ
Asahina said, "That's right... Indeed, when Yamada was killed... All the staff are searching the 3rd floor... β
"Except for Hagakure and Kirikiri, who were not there at the timeγγγγγ Lin Xiao said.
Asahina said, "At that time, everyone rushed to the health room together, and then Yamada's body was foundγγγγγ β
"Really, there's an alibi. Said the exterminator.
"I understand! Use the tape recorder to record the screams, and then set a time difference to play it!" Ye Yin said.
Asahina said, "Where the hell is the tape recorder or somethingγγγγγ οΌβ
Ye Yin said: "Well, I don't know... β
"Don't talk casually, you're the number one suspect!" Asahina said.
Okami said, "Anyway, when we hear Yamada's screams, we have a clear alibiγγγγγ β
"With an alibi, it is impossible for us to kill Yamadaγγγγγ Lin Xiao said.
"It's not just the killing of Yamada-kun that's impossibleγγγγγ It's impossible to disappear after thatγγγγγ When Yamada-kun's body disappeared from the health room... I'm in the bathroom with Asahina, and the rest of you are in the physical preparation room, right? When Ishimaru-kun's body disappeared from the physical preparation room... At that time, because of the disappearance of Yamada-kun's body, we all gathered in the infirmaryγγγγγ We can't do it either... β
The exterminator said, "At that time, they passed out in the physical preparation room. Oh,No, it's that useless Fuyuko Rotkawa.γγγ β
"Then, if it's an exterminator, you can transport Ishimaru-kun's body out, right?" Ye Yin said.
The ten gods said, "Even if I can carry Ishimaru's corpse... It is also impossible to carry Yamada's body in the health roomγγγγγ Because when Yamada's body disappeared, that guy should still be lying in the physical preparation room... β
The exterminator said, "I said, I haven't done it anywhere!!"
"In other words, the killing of Yamada-kun and the disappearance of the bodies of the two men after that were impossible for us at the timeγγγγγ On the contrary, the only thing that can be done is the disappeared Ye Yinjun and the fog cut. β
Fog Cut said: "Even if we continue to discuss who did it like this, it seems... This school-level trial cannot be advancedγγγγγγ So, don't think about it from whose point of view, but from what point of view?"
"What does that mean?" Lin Xiao said.
"For example, the method of transporting Yamada-kun's body, it should be necessary to discuss... Fog Cut said.
Miao Mu said: "That's right... No matter how you investigate, only the way to carry his body has not been figured out... And according to the testimony of Seres ... Asahina and Seres went to the bathroom together, and the time to return to the health room after that was only about 1 minute... β
"That's right, the time that Yamada-kun's body was out of our sight... It's outrageously short... How quickly did the prisoner move such a huge body as Yamada-kun?" Asahina said.
"In such a short period of time, we had to transport that huge body from the health room on the first floor to the art warehouse on the third floorγγγγγ It's impossible to think about it, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"What if I said that there is a way to make the impossible possibleγγγγγ οΌβ
"Huh!?
"Wouldn't it be better for the corpse to move over on its ownγγγγγ β
Asahina was surprised: "You mean, the corpse moved by himself?"
Ye Yin said, "Are you talking about ghosts againγγγγγ β
"How is it possible to talk about the supernatural, what that woman wants to say isγγγγγγ Yamada, who was thought to be dead, may have actually been alive at that timeγγγγγ β
Ten gods said.
"Also... Still alive... Asahina said.
Okami said, "You mean that Yamada was not taken out of the infirmary, but walked out on his own feet?"
"But what about Yamada's body that we saw in the infirmary?" Asahina said.
Lin Xiao said, "Pretend to be dead?"
"That kind of thing... It can't be ... β
Okami said, "Yamada when I first found it in the health roomγγγγγ Is it possible to be alive? Is there any basis for this?"
"At that time, Yamada-kun was undoubtedly dead... Seres said.
"Why can you make such an assertionγγγγγ β
"You also heard the announcement of the discovery of the body... That's because Yamada-kun's body was foundγγγγγγ That's why the announcement was broadcast... β
"Is that really the case?" maybe it's an announcement about someone's corpseγγγγγ β
"That's right, the announcement of the discovery of the body at that time, is it really because of Yamada-kun's body?" Lin Xiao said.
"Of course it is, because I heard that announcement just after I found Yamada-kun's body. Seres said.
The great god said, "Yes, I heard it too." β
Lin Xiao said, "But that announcement, for the people who found Ishimaru-kun's body, it should be the same, right?"
The Ten Gods said, "That's right, we heard that announcement just after we found Ishimaru's bodyγγγγγ β
Miao Mu said, "That is to say... Are we mistaken ... The announcement of the discovery of Ishimaru-kun's body was regarded as the announcement of the discovery of Yamada-kun's corpse. β
The Ten Gods said, "Originally, if two bodies were found, the announcement should have been played twiceγγγγγ β
"Because the black and white bears are lazy... Maybe it's just played once.γγγ Seres said.
Lin Xiao said: "Black and white bear, how do you explain?"
"Because it's a very sensitive issue, I can't go into details... However, the original announcement of the discovery of the body was played when at least three or more people initially found the bodyγγγγγ Black and White Bear said.
Ye Yin said: "This is not an answer... We're asking if you're lazy. β
The ten gods said, "No, what was just now is enough... Playing only when a body is first found means ... Even if the same corpse is found several times, the announcement of the discovery of the corpse will not be playedγγγγγ In that case, why was the announcement of the discovery of the body being broadcast at that time?"
The exterminator said, "Huh? οΌβ
Seedling said: "We must have heard two announcements of the discovery of bodies in this series of events... β
"That's true.,The second announcement of the discovery of the corpse.,When the bodies of the two people were found again in the art warehouse.γγγγ Lin Xiao said.
Miao Mu said: "Although I didn't have time to pay attention to the announcement at that time... But does that contradict what the black and white bear said?"
Lin Xiao said: "If it is only played when the body is first found, it will not be played when the body is found againγγγγγ! When we found the bodies of the two of them again in the art warehouse, the body of one of them... Actually, it's still the state of the first discovery... In other words, Yamada-kun didn't die at all in the health room at the beginning. β
The great god said, "Do you want to play deadγγγγγ What we really mean is that we found that the corpse of that guy is in the art warehouse. β
Miao Mu said, "But, it's not just that... There is also a basis to prove that Yamada-kun is playing dead. β
The exterminator said: "Oh, that's according to people's knowledge, which means that Yamada is very good at pretending to be dead... β
"Nothing of that magnitude can be called a basis! I don't think it existsγγγγγ β
Kiri said, "Then, let's think about the condition of Yamada's corpse again... If you do this, you should be able to figure out whether he was alive at the time... β
Asahina said, "Yamada-kun's body was first found in the health room, right? But when Seres and I went to the bathroom, the body disappearedγγγγγ β
The ten gods said, "The next body was found in the art warehouse... β
Seres said, "His body before being moved and his body after being moved... Except that the posture has changed... It doesn't make a difference ... β
"That guy... Are you really alive ... The great god said.
Lin Xiao said: "When I think of this, I think of a very critical place... There should be a clear difference between Yamada-kun in the health room and Yamada-kun in the art warehouseγγγγγ It's Yamada-kun's glasses.γγγ This is the basis for proving that Yamada in the infirmary is playing dead. β
"What do you mean?" said Serres.
Lin Xiao said: "When Yamada-kun's body was first found in the health room, his glasses were stained with blood... But when the body was found again in the art warehouse... Yamada-kun's glasses have become very clean. β
Seedling said: "That's true, when we investigated, we found that the things used to wipe the blood off the glasses were also found in the trash can in the health room... What I found in the trash can was a cloth of glasses printed with cartoon characters... The blood on Yamada-kun's glasses was wiped with this glasses cloth. β
Lin Xiao said: "There is also the anime character on this glasses cloth, which is the same as the one on the digital camera... That's what Yamada said he finally got a digital camera.,It's also a collector's edition of this cartoon character.γγγ But because of his personal reasons, he didn't ask for it. But there is no doubt that this glasses cloth must be his own... β
"Princess Buzi among the angels of the outer wayγγγγγγ I remember that Yamada said so. Asahina said.
"The person who holds this kind of glasses cloth can only be Yamadaγγγγγ Lin Xiao said.
The great god said, "But some of us wear glasses... β
The ten gods said, "I won't use that kind of bargain... β
"Other people's glasses cloth, just use paper towels are enough... Said the exterminator.
Ye Yin said: "In this case, what is going on?"
In other words, the blood on Yamada-kun's glasses was wiped off by himself with a glasses cloth... Lin Xiao said.
"Why are you so sure ... The blood on the glasses wasn't necessarily wiped off by him. Seres said.
Naemi said, "But there's no need for the prisoner to do such a thing, right? β
The great god said, "This... That's right... β
Ye Yin said: "That is to say, it was really Yamada who pleased, did you wipe it yourself... β
Kikiri said: "In this way, it seems that Yamada-kun, who was found in the health room, is still alive... He pretended to be dead, and after wiping the blood off his glasses with a glasses cloth... He walked out of the infirmaryγγγγγ β
"But what is he for... To do this kind of thing... Let's not talk about this for a while.,So think about the impossible moving work is done.γγγγ Lin Xiao said.
"However, if he is just pretending to be dead in the infirmary... That... What's the matter with all that blood, paint or something?" Asahina said.
"The blood was fresh and pungent... It is a genuine thing. The great god said.
Lin Xiao said: "In the refrigerator in the health room, the blood for blood transfusion is stored, I'm afraid, it's just to use that... β
The exterminator said: "It must have been when he was pretending to be dead, and he exaggerated the blood that was sprinkled too much... So I had to leave my glasses after that... β
The exterminator looks like an experienced senior, and he is criticizing his back. But it's not surprising to think of her true identity... After all, it's a legendary murdererγγγγγ
"In this case, it will be explained clearly, do you still have any questions?" Lin Xiao said.
Everyone nodded their heads one by one, indicating that there was no doubtγγγγγ
Kirikiri said, "Next, on the premise that Yamada-kun is still alive, let's explain the disappearance of Ishimaru-kun's bodyγγγγγ β
The corpse disappears, why do these things, why pretend to be dead... These facts are strange ... But gradually, the truth is getting closerγγγγγ
