"Just like yesterday, the victims all advanced to tomorrow's finalists." Eliza took out an investigation report from her bosom and handed it to Makoto Kyushu:

"I had food poisoning, I fell down while walking, I was knocked unconscious by a high-altitude projectile, and I was bitten by a poisonous bug. Anyway, it was all kinds of accidents, and there were no cameras or witnesses at the scene, so they could only consider themselves unlucky. ”

Kyushu Cheng took the investigation report with a solemn face and read it carefully several times.

It stands to reason that this report should be a private mission document and should not be handed over to an outsider like him.

But Eliza was willing to give him the papers, presumably because she trusted him and invited him to come and figure it out.

After reading the report, Makoto Kyushu looked up and said, "If this series of cases is really man-made, then I suspect that the culprit should be a native of Fukuoka, or a local as an accomplice." ”

"Huh? Why do you think so? Eliza wondered.

"To be able to create so many "accidents" in a short period of time, you must know the local situation well." Kyushu Makoto analyzed:

"And the prisoners must have a lot of connections in the local area, and even bought off the event organizers to quickly get the information and accommodation addresses of the contestants."

"That makes sense," Eliza nodded slightly, "but Fukuoka has 1.3 million permanent residents, and no matter how narrow it is, we won't be able to find out before tomorrow." ”

"We don't have to get into the horns to catch the killer, let's take a look at tomorrow's game list first, I have a few things to care about." Makoto Kyushu turned one of the pages of the investigation report:

"There will be 16 teams of men and women in the competition tomorrow. According to your investigation, the vast majority of teams have been attacked."

"There are currently five teams that have not been attacked in the men's and women's divisions, two of which are seeded this year, one is the private Takamagaharamine Academy, and the other is the homegrown Fukuoka Okishima High School."

After Kyushu Makoto finished speaking, he asked curiously: "High Heaven Origin Peak. Isn't this your school? ”

The private Takamagahagara Peak School is an aristocratic high school with the strongest faculty in Tokyo and even in the whole of Wano Country, and it takes the elite education route. Because it is too high to attain, ordinary people know little about it.

Putting aside the sky-high tuition fees, which are expensive enough for ordinary people to explode at a glance, it is said that students who come out of there will be laughed at by other students as "unproductive" when they are admitted to Tokyo University as civil servants in the future.

As for the school's kendo club, basketball club, baseball club and other sports clubs, the starting team is said to have reached the level of adult professional competitions, and participating in high school competitions is a dimensionality reduction attack.

"This time it is the second echelon of our school's kendo department that participates in the Jade Dragon Flag competition." Eliza stroked the ends of her hair and said casually:

"The school prohibits the first echelon of sports clubs and special sports students from participating in high school competitions, otherwise they are bullying people."

"But even if it's the second echelon, it's the top level of high school students in Wano Country~" Kyushu Makoto sighed with a smile and asked:

"In that case, have any of your school's players been attacked?"

"You're right, they were attacked yesterday." Eliza thought for a moment and replied:

"Fortunately, the school has a relationship with Yin Yang Liao, and deliberately spent money to hire a B-level soul slayer for them as an accompanying bodyguard, but unfortunately in the end, the murderer escaped."

"It's an aristocratic school." Makoto Kyushu sighed, "Then there are only four teams left: Tsuneta Technical High School, Akiyoshi Kendo Club, Sapporo Shiraishi Academy, and Fukuoka Okishima High School. ”

"Of course I do. In fact, half an hour ago, Yin Yang Liao had already sent people to protect those four teams. Eliza shook her head slightly: "Of course, it's not so much about protection, it's better to use them as bait and wait for the rabbit." ”

"But don't you think it's a little weird?" Makoto Kyushu frowned strangely:

"Although there are still four teams that have not been attacked, among the seeded teams, only the team from Fukuoka Okishima High School is unharmed."

"Do you think there's something wrong with this high school?" Eliza asked, "We really haven't received any reports of attacks on this team. ”

"And they happen to be local high school students, which is too much of a coincidence." Makoto Kyushu said solemnly: "Is it possible that the prisoner who instructed the monster to attack the contestant actually wanted Okinoshima High School to win the championship?" ”

"But you can't be too categorical, and if they are attacked tonight, your speculation will be completely overturned." Eliza shook her head slightly:

"And even if we do have to investigate, where do we start? Should I investigate the participating students, their parents, or school officials? Or do you want to run to their school and turn it upside down? If nothing is investigated, how are we going to explain it to our superiors? ”

"Also, there is still too little information to know where to start." Kyushu Cheng naturally thought of these questions, and could only shake his head and sigh.

At present, there are five finalist teams that have not been attacked, and four of them are stared at by people from Yin and Yang Liao, Gao Tianyuan Peak has hired a personal bodyguard, and Xiu Ember Academy is guarded by Kyushu Makoto, and it is safe for the time being, and no one should be killed.

But for those teams who have been killed, this Jade Dragon Flag competition is really unfair.

Whatever the purpose, the culprit undermined the fairness of the event and insulted the spirit of sportsmanship.

But all Kyushu Makoto can do now is to do his best to protect his team.

Eliza stretched, and her stomach suddenly "gurgled".

"Ahem..."She immediately straightened her face, as if to hide her shame: "I'll go back to the room first." ”

"Wait a minute, are you hungry?" Makoto Kyushu proposed, "I'll go have a meal together, and continue to talk about the case by the way." ”

"Ha, do you just invite girls out to dinner so casually?" Eliza struggled for a moment, and then said with relief:

"Forget it, anyway, you stone man don't have bad intentions, let's go."

As it was getting late, the two walked around the hotel and found only one ramen restaurant with the lights on.

"Please dine!" The waiter brought each of them a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen.

It is estimated that she is tired from a busy day's work, and Eliza does not care about the image of a lady at all, and eats it with a bowl in her hand.

"Didn't you eat today?" Kyushu asked.

"I haven't eaten anything since noon." Eliza swallowed the last bite of noodles and reached out for the waiter to add another bowl of noodles.

"Your work is too hard," Makoto Kyushu shook his head.

During the meal, the two chatted about the serial attacks in the past few days.

"Speaking of which, what kind of school is Fukuoka Okishima High School?" Makoto Kyushu asked curiously.

At present, Fukuoka Okishima High School is not a small suspect. If they are really the culprits, who in the school could the culprits be, and what is the motive?

"I don't know, I've never looked into this school." Eliza continued to concentrate on her noodles.

Maybe there were no customers in the restaurant, and the waiter was idle and bored, so he came over and joined the chat:

"Are you also participating in the Jade Dragon Banner? I'm sorry, but I heard you guys talking about Okishima High School just now, so I'm curious to ask~"

"Sort of." Makoto Kyushu glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Do you know Okishima High School?" ”

"Of course, that is the most powerful kendo school in our place, and it has won the Jade Dragon Banner Gold Award for several consecutive years." The waiter said proudly.

"Oh~ That's amazing." Kyushu Cheng praised while taking out his mobile phone to search.

Sure enough, Fukuoka Okishima High School won the Jade Dragon Banner championship for four consecutive years, and it can be said that it was the pillar of the Fukuoka area, but that was ten years ago.

Since then, the high school has not won the championship on the Jade Dragon Banner, and its best result was the semi-finals last year.

Even the local media always fanned the flames with this incident, and wrote several articles every year such as "The Jade Dragon Flag has been robbed by stinky outsiders again this year, is it okay to Okishima High School?" People are very annoyed to see such report articles.

"I heard that Okishima High School is breaking through this year, and I plan to hit the gold award again after ten years." The waiter placed the large bowl of ramen in front of Eliza's table:

"It's really ambitious, I hope they can win the championship this year, so that we can raise our eyebrows again in Fukuoka~!"
