Gao Cheng said goodbye in deep thought and left Harumi's house.

It's not impossible for the same name to live in the neighboring town of Misaki Town, after all, because of the new big wharf, Misaki Town is becoming more and more prosperous, and even Snow Shadow Village has been greatly affected, and people are running over there, plus there are more people with the surname Imai here, so there is a great chance of duplicate names.

In any case, it is impossible to find the other party at this time, so it is difficult to confirm it.

"That, Joto-kun," Xiao Suke asked, "There are still two arrows left, will the murderer really commit the crime?" ”

"It's possible," Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts, "Okay, take me to Ayaka's house again." ”

Hasunuma Ayaka, that is, the short-haired girl who followed Fuyumi, when Gao Cheng found Hasunuma's house, he heard that the short-haired girl went to Snow Shadow Junior High School again, and it seemed that she was cleaning the tennis club activity room of the junior high school.

"There is no tennis club in high school, and Ayaka does often go to the junior high school to play," Koto remembered, "Even if the junior high school tennis club was disbanded half a year ago, she often went to clean it, saying that as long as there were enough members, the tennis club would be able to start again sooner or later." ”

"So, Ayaka's dream is to play at Wimbledon."

"Wimbledon?"

Gao Cheng thought of the abnormality of the short-haired girl before, turned to Xiaodu and said, "You guys go back first, and I'll go to Snow Shadow Junior High School to have a look." ”

Xiaodu looked at Gao Cheng worriedly: "But ......"

"Don't worry," Gao Cheng instructed, "Just don't go out alone when you go back, leave the rest to me, and I'll contact you again if there's any situation." ”

Snow Shadow Junior High School is not too far from Hasunuma's house, and Gao Cheng walked alone for a while to the outside of the campus.

There were still police officers on duty at the scene, and the teaching building was still open, but it still took a little time for Gao Cheng to find the tennis club's activity room.

"Joto-kun?" Ayaka was startled when she saw Gao Cheng, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I heard that your family said that you were here, so I came here a little worried," Gao Cheng looked inside the activity room and asked Ayaka, "You know something about Fuyumi's murder, right?" ”

"No, it's nothing," Ayaka said nervously, "why do you ask?" ”

"The prisoner stole 3 arrows, so I don't know if someone will be killed," Gao Cheng said bluntly, "If you want to stop the prisoner, you must at least figure out the motive, I wonder what Fuyumi and Haruna's suicide can have to do with it, and they will be retaliated against for it, so I can only come to you." ”

"But I'm ...... I don't know ...... either."

Ayaka clenched her hands and lowered her head but still refused to say more.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of our relationship that caused you to get involved in this kind of thing, but if there is really any revenge, Joto-kun will be fine, so ......"

"I heard your dream is Wimbledon tennis?" Gao Cheng picked up a tennis racket and looked at it.

"Ah, yes, a little self-righteous......"

"No, it's a great dream to play Wimbledon."

"Right? I'm going to have to work harder," Ayaka said happily, wiping tears from her eyes, "It's not too early, let's go back first, the light bulb in this activity room is broken." ”

Gao Cheng silently watched Ayaka, who couldn't tell whether she was laughing or crying, walking out of the activity room.

Whatever the prisoner's reason, he had to stop it as soon as possible.

It's just that it's not so easy to ask for all the information, and his police background still causes some fear......

What is certain is that Hasunuma Ayaka must know something, and Fuyumi's death is also related to the suicide of the girl in the first place.

Gao Cheng followed out of the activity room.

Now the most suitable direction for him to start is to unravel the meaning of the strange suicide note, the girl's suicide was originally nothing, and the real cause of the fire of revenge should be the suicide note.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and reviewed the whole case in his mind again.

There are only a limited number of people who know the content of the suicide note, and according to the situation of Chunmei's mother, Chunmei's father should not have read it, and if the suspicion of the other party is ruled out for the time being, the rest is ......

The figures of Harumi's mother and Kosuke flashed in Gao Cheng's mind one by one, even including Hasunuma Ayaka, who seemed unlikely to commit the crime.

Judging from the layout of the murderer, the first thing is to make the scene look like a suicide, but the method of killing Fuyumi is very problematic, and the fatal wound is in the back of the neck, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of the police anyway.

And the theft of winter shoes is also easy to find out......

If you think about the results of this technique, after the police have fully investigated, the direction of the investigation will turn to the mysterious Harumi's father, and the students who are witnesses are all cleared of suspicion because they have alibi.

If the purpose of the prisoner in the first place was not only to fake suicide, but also to prove an alibi from beginning to end, so as to facilitate the next crime......

Is this possible?

Gao Cheng's face was serious.

The murderer's methods are very limited, in addition to the punctual snow conditions during the Sakurayuki Festival in Snow Shadow Village, the time for the students to arrive at Sakurayuki Junior High School is also crucial, what if it is advanced?

Excluding the interference of alibi, considering the criminal behavior alone, it is very likely that the murderer was among those students at that time, so there will be a "slow" past.

"Joto-kun?" Hasunuma Ayaka looked at Gao Cheng who stopped in her footsteps suspiciously, "If you don't go back quickly, it'll be dark!" ”

"Wait a minute."

Gao Cheng glanced back at the campus at the scene of the crime.

Rethink it, the footprints on the snow are not necessarily stepped on by the murderer himself, and there may not be no other way to leave footprints.

The snow itself has not been accumulated for a long time, and it leaves behind black footprints, if not the footprints that are stepped on, but some other method of melting snow......

For example, when it snows, only the black ground is exposed where the salt has been sprinkled, just like the footprints left by someone walking through it.

By the time the police come to investigate, the footprints and salt will be washed away by the rain.

If that were the case, everyone's alibi would be in vain......

Xiaodu's family, the girl who came back with Xiaosuke wrote and drew on the paper, but she never had a clue, and she was suddenly a little depressed.

Reasoning doesn't seem to be that easy either......

"Hey, Kosuke," the girl looked to the other side looking out in a daze, "Do you have any clue?" ”

"No," Kosuke shook his head, "Why don't we go and ask Joto-kun?" ”

"Why?" The girl wondered, "It's too much of a shame to get people involved in this kind of thing...... No, if Joto-kun investigates alone, it might be dangerous! Isn't that the case, because it affected the prisoner's plan, he was killed! ”

Xiao Zhu weakly looked at the girl who suddenly got up and said, "So they all say that you have seen too much......"
