The next day, Tie Zhuyu took the initiative to contact Gao Yuan. However, seeing Tie Zhuyu again today, her mood seemed to be much better than yesterday.

"Haruki Kubo has been arrested."

As soon as they met, Tie Zhuyu said directly to the point, "An anonymous person handed over the evidence that he used his identity as a kendo coach to coerce female students to have a relationship with him. Mr. Wise, you did it, right? ”

Gao Yuan didn't deny this, but he still felt a little curious: "Miss Zhuyu's information was received very quickly." ”

"Because the police asked me about it."

Tie Zhuyu said, "But I really don't know him well, so the police didn't ask much." ”

After a pause, and then as if thinking of something, Tie Zhuyu added, "Of course, I didn't say anything about Mr. Wise. ”

"That's right."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after responding, after all, if the police knew that the anonymous email was sent by himself, they would inevitably be questioned.

"But now Haruki Kubo deserves it, but there is still no progress on the murder of Keiko Okumura."

Gao Yuan said helplessly.

"yes."

A little sad, Tie Zhuyu said, "The police have not made any progress on this matter. ”

"Did you tell the police what I speculated yesterday?"

Takato asked.

"Yes."

Tie Zhuyu said, "The police are also investigating in the direction that the murderer killed the wrong person in the villa at that time." ”

Gao Yuan has nothing to say about this, it is better to have the police track this line than to do nothing.

"Anyway, thank you for yesterday's events, Mr. Wise."

Tie Zhuyu said, "If you hadn't sensed something was wrong and entered the ward, we wouldn't have thought that Keiko would have ...... at all."

Speaking of this, Tie Zhuyu swallowed a little.

After easing his emotions, Tie Zhuyu continued: "Mr. Akechi, if Haruki Kubo is really not the murderer of Keiko, what should we do next? ”

In this regard, Gao Yuan just smiled and said, "Don't worry, I made an appointment with someone at noon, and after meeting her, there should be some progress." ”

"Huh? Who is it? ”

Tie Zhuyu asked with some confusion.

"Remember what Haruki Kubo said yesterday."

"He said that that night, he went back to the kendo club for lessons. However, it was a Monday, so I went to the club to check it out and found that there was only one student who would go to Haruki Kubo's class that night. ”

"So, you're meeting with that student?"

Tie Zhuyu asked with some understanding.

"That's right."

Takato said, "Her name is Ryoko Nishio, and she is also one of the students who was threatened by Haruki Kubo. ”

Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu didn't seem to understand, but he didn't ask much, just followed Gao Yuan to the place of the appointment, which was a coffee shop located near Kyoto Seirian College.

Entering the store, Gao Yuan told the waiter about the reservation information, and the waiter took Gao Yuan and Tie Zhuyu into a box on the second floor.

The box is not large, the decoration is very elegant and simple, and the furniture inside is only a classical rectangular table and two matching chairs on each side.

Walking inside, Gao Yuan walked straight to the chair on the right hand side and sat down, and then Tie Zhuyu thought about it and sat down beside Gao Yuan.

The waiter explained the rules of the store in a concise and professional manner, and then left the private room.

Looking at the style of this box, Tie Zhuyu suddenly said, "Mr. Wise, are you sure the other party will come?" The other party is a student of Qinglian Academy, right? I remember it was like a girls' college, and the rules were quite strict, so I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to leave the school during the lunch break. ”

"But she was also a victim of the Kubo Haruki incident."

Gao Yuan said, "Since you have been found by the police, then she was naturally called by the police for questioning." I just asked her to drop by when she went back to school. ”

"That's right."

Tie Zhuyu was a little amazed, feeling that the detective in front of him had done a lot of things after separating from him yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a little comforted in his heart.

It wasn't long before the door to the box was opened from the outside.

"Excuse me, Mr. Edogawa...... Is it here? ”

A somewhat timid girl poked her head in and said a little nervously.

"It's me."

Gao Yuan responded, and Tie Zhuyu was slightly surprised when he heard this, but quickly covered his mouth and smiled, returning to his normal expression.

I saw that the person who came was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a school uniform, with curly brown hair and some parted bangs, combed to the sides.

Hearing Gao Yuan's response, the girl looked at the people in the box a little nervously, and when she saw that there was another girl there, she seemed to be relieved, and then closed the door of the private room, walked to the opposite side of Gao Yuan, and sat down with a dignified demeanor.

Although it could be seen that the other party was very nervous, her demeanor after walking and sitting down was very dignified, obviously deliberately studied, I have to say that she was really a student of the women's college-Gao Yuan said silently in his heart.

"That, Nishio-san."

Gao Yuan said loudly, "I came to you this time, but I just wanted to ask you a question. ”

"You, excuse me."

Still slightly nervous, Ryoko Nishio said.

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

Takato said, "Did you go to Haruki Kubo's class on Monday night?" ”

However, as soon as Takato said the name of "Haruki Kubo", the girl in front of him suddenly began to tremble involuntarily and seemed to be very scared.

"Don't be afraid."

Takato got up, came to Ryoko Nishio's side, patted her on the shoulder and reassured, "Kubo has been arrested, and no one will come to hurt you again." ”

Hearing this, the girl slowly raised her head and looked at Gao Yuan blankly for a while before asking, "Really?" ”

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said with a firm look in his eyes.

So, after thinking for a while, the girl gave the answer - that night, she did go to the club to take Kubo Haruki's class, because she was threatened, so she didn't dare not go, but the strange thing is that although Kubo Haruki was in the club that day, she didn't teach anything the whole time, and she didn't even do anything to Nishio Ryoko, she just stayed there absentmindedly, and it wasn't until after class that Nishio Ryoko nervously ran home.

After getting such a result, Gao Yuan didn't ask too much, and let Nishio Ryoko go back, but Tie Zhuyu could see that such a result seemed to make Gao Yuan a little disappointed.

"What's wrong? Mr. Wise? ”

Seeing this, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help asking.

"Haruki Kubo, there's an alibi."

Slightly disappointed, Gao Yuan said.

"However, didn't Mr. Wise say before that Haruki Kubo was not a murderer, isn't it normal to have an alibi?"

Tie Zhuyu was puzzled.

"However, when I asked Kubo about the day of the incident yesterday, his expression was as if he knew something."

"So I guess he might ......."
