The investigation in Ayumi took far longer than Du expected, and since it was never discovered, it had to be constantly disturbed. Fortunately, this lady Ayuki and Kawa did not feel any unhappiness about this, but served Du Fair and Suzuki Sawa diligently every day. The smile seems to be getting bigger and bigger, as if I like the arrival of Du Fair and Suzuki Sawa.

Another diary belonging to Ayumi was put down, and although Ayumi had a habit of keeping a diary, Du Ping did not find anything valuable in it. It's just that for a period of time, through these diaries and photos, Du Ping can be said to have a very good understanding of the life of Ayumi and this senior sister. This evidence also confirms what Suzuki Sawata has always emphasized that Ayumi is a girl who is very good at learning, quality, and hobbies.

Do we have to go to the homes of the other victims?

Du Ping put down the diary in his hand, rubbed his drowsy head, and came to the side of a piece of unimportant information that had been sorted out. These are some of Ayumi's textbooks and workbooks, and they are true daily homework that has been confirmed by Suzuki Sawawa and Toto. As if to relax his brain, Du Pingping picked up a copy and read it indifferently. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and Du Ping picked up another one. A few minutes later, Du Ping took another one. Then, as if he had discovered something, Du Ping kept picking up these textbooks and exercise books, and kept looking for something quickly. And constantly separating them into two stacks of different thicknesses. Then there are albums, and albums are constantly opened.

Suzuki Sanda walked over, "What did you find?"

Du Pingping hesitated, "Actually, it seems that Sister Ayumei should really have a male admirer." ”

Suzuki Sawa, "Ah......hhhh

Suzuki Sawa was first startled, and then seriously denied, "This is impossible! ”

An exercise book was placed in front of Suzuki Sawa, and Du Ping opened one of the pages and asked seriously, "What do you see?"

Du Pingping's expression of this was a key clue, which made Suzuki Sanda watch it extremely seriously. But after a few minutes, Suzuki had to shake his head and look at Du Fair helplessly, "I'm sorry! I didn't see any difference." ”

Du Ping took out another exercise book, opened one of the pages, and placed the two exercise books side by side in front of Suzuki Sawa's eyes.

"And now?"

After Suzuki Sappa tried to observe, he finally looked at Du Fair helplessly, "I'm sorry! ”

Du Ping finally began to uncover the answer, pointing to one of the first questions in Suzuki's workbook and explaining.

"Sister Ayumi is a very good student, and we can see from her grades. Judging from this workbook, this ...... This...... This, and this. Ayumi has already mastered these questions, and Sister Ayumi doesn't need to practice and review such a high density by herself. ”

Du Fair pointed to another exercise book that Du Fair gave to Suzuki Sawa.

"From another workbook, we can see that Sister Ayumi is a very rigorous and well-planned person. The pace of practice in this book is much lower than the pace in this book. What does that mean?"

When Suzuki Sappa lowered his head to look for clues from Du Ping's mouth, Du Ping did not stop his speech. I took a few personal albums belonging to Ayumi and came to Suzuki Sawa.

"According to the exercises in the workbook, we can see that this change occurred in the second semester of the second year of high school. So I focused on the photo album at this stage of the second semester of my sophomore year. Sure enough, I found something more!"

Suzuki Sawa looked at the albums that Du Ping had brought, "What's the situation?"

Du Pingping's eyes were confident, "Sister Ayumei has admirers of the opposite sex, or a couple!"

Suzuki Sawa instinctively and resolutely denied, "This can't be!"

Du Ping smiled confidently, "Don't deny it so quickly!"

Du Ping opened two photo albums from different periods and pointed to the different Ayumi inside, "You see, what is the difference between Sister Ayumi in these two albums." ”

Suzuki Sawa looked at it seriously and carefully for a long time, and then raised his head to look at Du Ping, "It's no different!"

Du Ping encouraged, "Look more carefully." ”

Suzuki Sawa looked at it seriously for a long time, "It's really no different!"

Du Ping sighed helplessly, "Suzuki Sawa, you are a girl, and your observation of beauty should be much higher than that of boys!"

Du Ping pointed to one of the photo albums, "You should be able to see this difference easily. Sister Ayumi in this book is dressed up very beautifully, but it feels like a doll from a fairy tale. ”

Then he pointed to another book, "And is there something in this book about Sister Ayumi's dress that wants to attract men's attention?"

Suzuki Sappa wondered, "Really?"

Suzuki snatched the album and looked at it seriously. After a few minutes, he replied uncertainly, "That's how it feels." However, it can't be assumed that Sister Ayumi has a male friend just because of this!"

Du Ping smiled, "And smiles!" pointed out a few of them, "Especially these ones, is her smile also different? As if she is smiling to her lover, especially warm and warm?"

Suzuki Sawaha wasn't even more sure, "Is that how you feel?"

Du Ping ignored her and began to keep telling his findings, "This shows that it must be her friends of the opposite sex who took pictures of her." And these photos have the date that comes with the camera, so if we check the diary, we can find out that she is on an outing with friends and having a lot of fun. ”

Du took out a diary, opened the time on the date of the photo, and showed it to Suzuki Sawa, "Although I didn't clearly write who I was hanging out with, I believe it was a different friend." ”

Suzuki Sawa wondered, "Really? Could it be that Sister Ayumi really committed suicide for love?"

"I don't know! Investigating the case is not as simple as you think. The clues we've found now can only help me confirm one thing that I didn't know before. That is, Sister Ayumi should have a different friend, in fact, it is a man or a woman, we can't be sure. ”

Suzuki Sawa's hands couldn't help but close his mouth, "Do you think that Ayumi-san is a same-sex ......?"

"Now we are detectives, so we are neutral now. We only accept clues and reasoning, without the slightest hypothesis and limitation. So all I can say now is: this possibility cannot be ruled out. Actually, we still don't know anything. ”

Suzuki Sawa's hands were raised high, and his morale was suddenly high, "Even if Sister Ayumi is of the same sex, Sayu must find out the truth of the matter!"

When it gets dark, Totoshi and Suzuki Sawa say goodbye to Mrs. Ayuki and leave Ayumi's house. When they left, they also took with them a long dress that belonged to Ayumi.

Walk on the way home.

Suzuki Sawa glanced at the long skirt in his hand, "Fair Jun can be sure that this long skirt must have been given by Sister Ayumi's unusual friend?"

Du fair, "Definitely." ”

Suzuki Sanda, "Why?"

Du Pingping, "First, from the position of this long skirt, it shows that Sister Yayumei must usually like this long skirt very much, and she often takes it out to try it on in the room when she is fine. Second, in several unusual photos of the senior sister, this long skirt has appeared. 3. This long skirt is different from the personal aesthetics of the senior sister, and it is as obvious as Gao He mixed in the wardrobe of Sister Ayumi. Fourth, the most important thing is that it should be very expensive, that is, the senior sister can't buy such a long dress with only her own pocket money. ”

Suzuki Sawa, "Fair, you're really at stake!"

"After that, my plan is: First, you come and help me find out where this long dress was bought. There must not be too many places where you can buy such an expensive long dress. Second, I may need to find a teacher from Sister Ayumi's to find out the situation. ”

Hearing that Du Ping was about to go to the head teacher of Ayumi's class, Suzuki Sawa was a little suspicious, "Is it okay?"

Du Ping smiled, "I have the authority." ”

In the evening, Du Pingping was sitting in his cabin, looking at the small blackboard with the mind map of the case and thinking. Just feeling a little sleepy, the mobile phone belonging to Miyako Kazama rang.

Du Pingping, "Miyako, what's the matter?"

After this period of training, Du Ping finally began to get used to changing the name of Miyako Kazama to "Miyako", instead of the original "sister".

A slightly tired voice came from the phone.

Miyako Kazama, "Hmm...... I miss you. Can you come out?"

It's not an offensive thing to treat Miyako Kazama, although I don't know that I've been teasing myself for Miyako Kazama recently, but Du Ping still likes this feeling very much.

"No problem. ”

Miyako Kazama, "It's still a café that I frequent." ”

Du fair, "Okay. ”

Du Pingping packed himself up and went to the first floor. In the living room on the first floor, Du Ping's parents and sister are sitting together watching TV. In the TV channel, a huge pyramid of countless dominoes stands majestically in the middle of the hall, and a richly dressed young man comes to the corner below. There was only a small row of thin rows of dominoes extending out of the pyramid. The young man pushed the front one of the small domino arrays. The pouring spread quickly, like a lightning bolt, and began to spread throughout the pyramid ....... Become a blooming flower.

The host's seductive voice was heard on TV, "Now is the time to witness a miracle! A new world record is about to be set! A total of 200,000 domino buildings are now about to see if it will eventually succeed......

Du's mother, father and sister are gathered around nervously watching the live broadcast of the world record challenge on the TV show. Du Pingping walked to the side of the door to report and ask for leave.

"I made an appointment with Sand Feather to study together in the evening, and I will come back later." ”

It was a very happy thing for Du to find that there was a reason for Suzuki Sawa's good character and trust. When Du Ping could have a premonition that his parents would agree, his sister suddenly made a personal statement.

My sister innocently didn't seem to have any heart, "Brother, what is the relationship between you and Sister Sand Yu? It seems to be very close!"

Du Pingping is serious and serious, "Ordinary classmate relationship." ”

My sister didn't believe it, "Ordinary classmates don't directly abbreviate their names, so it's a very intimate display!"

Du Pingping immediately used the momentum of being an elder brother, "At a young age, what do you think!"

With her parents by her side, her sister was obviously much bolder, arguing, "I'm not foolish! I've watched a lot of love dramas." ”

Du Pingping has not yet dealt with his sister Du Yingzi, who already has the quality of gossip, and Du Pingping's parents were also attracted to Du Pingzi from TV by their dialogue.

Mother was very serious, "Sand Feather is a good girl!

The father was very succinct, "Suzuki Sawa, I've seen that girl." Son, you have a good eye!"

Du Ping was very helpless, looking at the situation of his family, he looked very much in favor of Du Ping and Suzuki Sand Feather getting along. Anyway, the family didn't object to going out by themselves, so it was better to leave quickly.

"I'm leaving." ”

Du Ping turned to leave, and then the concerned voices of his parents were still heard.

Mother, "It's okay to come back later! ”

Father, "Son, do you have enough pocket money, don't be stingy with girls!"

……

A café where Totoshi and Miyako Kazama often meet.

Du Fair, "...... During the day, at the house of Ayumi, the deceased of my suicide, I discovered that there might be a secret couple. ”

Miyako Kazama, "The secret couple? This news has never been discovered, is it true? You must know that although the media has not paid much attention, the school of Tachibana High School has conducted a detailed search with the police, and there is no such information in the relevant investigation files. ”

"I trust my judgment. ”

Miyako Kazama took Du Fair's hand and gave Du Fair incomparable trust and encouragement.

Miyako Kazama, "Fair-kun, you're the best!"

The attention of Du Ping's speech began to attract Miyako Kazama's soft little hands. Knead and feel the smoothness, softness and comfort there.

Du Pingping, "Miyako ......"

Miyako Kazama, "Hmm......"

"What kind of relationship did we have before?"

Miyako Kazama, "What do you say?"

"I don't know. ”

"Haha...... Haha......" Miyako Kazama chuckled, leaning over to Du Ping, her lips whispering in Du Ping's earholes, "Of course it's a couple!"

The evening is very slow, and although there is no real movement or contact, the feeling of being with a beautiful woman who makes people feel comfortable is still very comfortable, like a drunkard indulging in the most wonderful old wine.

Although he went back late in the evening, he got up early and came to the office of the head teacher of the school's Ayumi class. Although the students have already been on vacation, the teachers at the school are not so lucky, and most of the teachers are still working and training themselves.

communicated with this head teacher, and people would definitely not believe Du Pingping's words. Directly picked up the internal phone and made a call to the principal and Izumi Seiji. The communication was very fast, and after the phone was put down, although the teacher's eyes and tone were very confused and questioning, he still began to cooperate fully.

The content of the interrogation should have been conducted by the police in a strict, standard, and detailed manner before. There is this information in the tablet in Du Pingping's hand, and Du Pingping has no idea to go through it again. So I got straight to the point.

"Does Miss Ayumi have a friend of the opposite sex who has a better relationship?"

The head teacher glanced at Du Ping Ping even more suspiciously, and said to Du Ping in a very serious and serious tone, "I have never heard of it. I'm sure not, though. Ayumi is a very good child. She was very planned for her future and path, and I don't think she had such plans in high school. ”

Just because there's no plan doesn't mean it's impossible.

Although Du Ping disagreed with the homeroom teacher's statement in his heart, he had no intention of debating, "Then do you know what are the classmates who are usually close to Miss Ayumi?"

The homeroom teacher made a report, and the end of the report did not differ from the content of the police plan file record provided by Mimiko Kazama. It seems that this homeroom teacher really doesn't know anything!

"Can I take a look at the papers you usually test?"

The homeroom teacher, "You want to read the papers?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

The homeroom teacher didn't want to ask anything more, and came to his tin bookcase. opened it and took out a thick pile and put it in front of Du Pingping.

The homeroom teacher, "You look at these first, and I'll get you something else after reading it." ”

Du Fair, "Thank you!"

……

In an office specially set aside for Du Pingping, a pile of thick rolls slowly changed from thick to thin, and then replaced. Again from thick to thin, again to replace the ....... In this boring repetition, time begins to grow fast.

At noon, the homeroom teacher came to Du Ping's side curiously. Because I found out that this strange boy who came today was really working hard, some of the small emotions that turned out to be dissipated early.

Homeroom teacher, "Let's go to dinner together?"

Du Fair, "Thank you!"

Du Pingping took the backpack placed on his side and took out a bento lunch box from it. He smiled at the homeroom teacher, "No! I've already prepared a bento." ”

The head teacher, "Okay then!"

The homeroom teacher turned to leave. Du Ping opened the lunch box and continued to work while eating.

After reading all the volumes, it was already 4:40 p.m. When it was almost time to get off work, Du Pingping apologized and returned all the papers to the homeroom teacher.

Du Fair, "Thank you, I've finished reading it." ”

The homeroom teacher looked at Du Ping curiously, "What did you find?"

Du fair, "I'm sorry, no. ”
