Chapter 170: The Third Search (16)
Five minutes later, I pushed the door open and entered the garbage room, just in time to bump into the fog cutter who came out with a large plastic bag. The latter's bag was bulging, and I don't know what it contained.
I later learned that this problem ...... Theoretically, the later you know, the better.
"Looks like you're coming home with a full load," I said, glancing at the plastic bag in Hibiki Kiriki's hand, "does that mean we can paddle?" ”
“…… What paddling? As soon as I said that, at least on this world line, no one knew the meaning of the word "paddling".
"At least for now, that's not the point," I shook my head, finally choosing to change the subject, "Did you find anything crucial?" ”
Hearing someone ask about the case, the fog cut Hibiko suddenly became interested. But she only laughed a little, suppressed the urge to vomit, and finally replied flatly, "What do you say...... All in all, it's a lot of gains. At least I now understand where the murderer hid the body! ”
"Where?" Hearing this, I'm really a little curious. From the beginning of the free search phase until now, I have not figured out two things, one is where Kuwata's body is hidden, and the other is why Yamada Ichizo came back from the dead. Hearing this kind of news, the excitement is a matter of course.
However, Hibiki Kiriki seems to have made up her mind to whet my appetite. She lowered her head slightly, crossed her hands on her hips, and replied with a chuckle, "All I can do has been done." After that, it's up to you to think and come to a conclusion. I'm gone, good luck. ”
Hibiki Kiriko left the vicinity of the garbage room. I trudged my left hand into my right pocket and gripped the pink camera tighter and tighter.
This kind of thing should have been said to Naeki Makoto...... Excuse me, can you change a few words a little?
As the name suggests, the garbage room is full of garbage and chaos. A sturdy roller shutter completely separated me from the incinerator and the green bin. Through the roller shutter door, you can see unidentified black objects scattered on the ground.
When I got to the roller shutter, a black and white bear jumped out of the corner that no one was aware of, and shouted, "No, no! No one can enter without the key to the duty student! ”
"Who is the student on duty?" Looking at the serious appearance of the black and white bear, I felt a little speechless.
"No, no, no! No one is allowed to go in except for those who have the key to the day! "The black and white bear continues to be a repeater. Looking at this posture, just like some "bonuses", I can't pass the roller shutter door today, and I can't get close to the incinerator.
Forget it, now that Hibiki Kiriko has collected the evidence, it makes no sense for me to bother with this doll anymore. I sighed and pushed open the door of the garbage room and came out. Looking up, I don't know when, Cyrus has already appeared.
"You're here too?" I asked, surprised.
"The garbage room?" Cyrus glanced at the trash can-shaped sign on the door panel of the room behind me and read aloud, "Is there any evidence of the murderer's crimes?" ”
What I want to say. However, at this time, a flash of inspiration flashed into my brain, and the words that were about to be exported were forcibly changed by me at the moment of exit.
"The black and white bear won't let me in," I said, "and only the students on duty can enter... Go... Perhaps, I should find the so-called 'duty student'? ”
"Look at you like this, as if you've determined that there really is a clue in the garbage room," Cyrus covered her mouth and snickered, "I don't quite understand, why are you so sure?" ”
"You can also visit it later." I could hear that I was a little annoyed when I spoke.
"Don't," Cyrus began to sell moe again, as soon as she heard my unfriendly tone, "I can't set foot in that unclean place......
As he spoke, with the piercing and familiar sound of "popsicle sticks", the interference electromagnetic waves of CCTV disappeared, and were replaced by the familiar dress and speech of the black and white bear.
"It's so fun! The academic judges are about to begin! Like a fleeting sparkle of fire, a brilliant soul flash in the collision of life and death! Ladies and gentlemen, please hurry up and gather at the old place! YOU! Let's go to the front door on the first floor of the teaching building area! Puff puff...... Then we'll see you later! ”
"Woohoo, it looks like you don't have time to investigate the garbage room," Celes said with a smile over her lips with one hand, "then...... We'll see you at the judging grounds. Gui'an. Hopefully it won't have an impact on what follows. ”
If you didn't just come to delay me, congratulations, you've succeeded......
Of course, it doesn't matter. Since the definition of "shame" is vague in your dictionary, I don't mind reinforcing it for you.
……
I have to admit, and it's a little regrettable, although the elevator preparation room waiting for the school referee venue is getting more and more empty, but the atmosphere has become more and more depressing. When I first learned tailoring, at least there were people who were willing to complain, and some people thought of teasing - oh yes, the guy who still didn't have a corpse almost had a fight with me at that time......
It's not the same now. Although the space has become more spacious, the voices that speak and the people who are willing to speak have become less and less. And everyone's position is still magically unchanged, but everyone's psychological distance is getting bigger and bigger with the change of attitude.
As usual, the black and white bears will definitely come to complain, but this time it is a little different.
"The number has increased?" We heard the voices of two black and white bears in unison, and at the same time saw two black and white bears, one on the left and one on the right, standing neatly in front of us, and gave their own answer, "It's not that the number has increased, but it looks like it has increased, forming an illusion called 'illusion'." Just like the Japanese ninjas, the phenomenon of repetitive high-speed movement that creates afterimages on your retina makes you see the illusion of a doppelganger! Puff puff...... Which black and white bear is the main body and which is the afterimage, which of you can guess? ”
"It's so boring," Enoshima Shield commented with a depressed face, "What afterimage, isn't it just two black and white bears who look exactly the same......"
"When the joke is over, it's time for us to take the elevator," I interrupted coldly, "Your 'audience' shouldn't be able to wait." ”
"It's really uncooperative!" The two black and white bears shouted in unison, "Got it! ”
"I said you...... It's time to put an end to boring jokes! Xiang of the Exterminator said sarcastically with both hands waving his scissors, "So, since everyone has arrived, let's hurry up and get on the elevator!" ”
The black and white bear is gone. Owada Wento complained loudly: "How can I stand calmly with the guy who killed my brother!" ”
"No matter how you quibble, the death sentence for Owada Hall has been handed down, so you just obediently accept your fate!" Yamada Ichitozo scoffed.
"Speaking of which, has the evidence of Ishimaru-kun's murderer been found?" Celes turned her hair curls with one hand and asked Owada Monto coldly.
Don't ask...... Just look at his expression, you can know that you should have found nothing. For Cyrus and Yamada, it was the best result.
And then...... It was still the Misty Cut Ringer who interrupted the debate, it was still the Fog Cut Ringer who reminded everyone that "the referee venue will be clear", and it was still the Fog Cut Loud who was the first to step into the elevator of the school-level referee.
Hope...... The results are not "still".
