In the afternoon, just before Tang Ze's attack, she was the only witness, and the only one who remained awake.

So she had more time to think about what had happened in that short minute or two.

The so-called wise man must have a mistake, and the fool must have a thousand thoughts, and after dinner, after seeing the corpse of Mr. Sugiyama, she really figured out something very wrong.

Suzuki Sonoko is indeed a little rough, and she will blurt out many questions without thinking about it, and say something off-line, but this doesn't mean that she is really stupid.

Someone seemed to have collapsed in the middle of the room, and although the villa was large, it was not empty enough to call people.

The two of them walked in together, checked on the situation of the fallen person, and shouted for help, which was more intuitive and safer.

What she found out later also coincided with her guess.

If it weren't for Tang Ze who happened to arrive and sent her to ask for help from others, then the person who walked into the room unsuspectingly would have become her.

If her guess comes true and Yonehara-sensei is the murderer of this case, then she who walks into the room will replace Tang Ze as the innocent person who was attacked, and it will also become her most favorable alibi proof.

The more I thought about it, the more I could recall Suzuki's sono, who knew something was wrong, and the scene they saw after they kicked the door again, and slowly came to the most unlikely guess.

Tang Ze, who stays with people all day, can never be the murderer, so who is the murderer?

"Another person died." Sonoko Suzuki said, the choked throat of her voice could no longer be controlled, "It's Shimoda-sensei, he's dead too." Tang Zejun, I ......"

After saying a few words, Sonoko Suzuki, who didn't know how to express her complicated feelings, fell silent again.

What should she say? Should I ask if Tang Ze also discovered these? Should you tell him you want to stop it, but you don't know what the reason is?

So what kind of answer did she want, did she want to hear the shriveled comfort of "you've done a good job", or did she want Tang Ze to show that he couldn't do anything and draw a little limited comfort from it?

I didn't expect this rough-nerved girl to be rare and sharp this time......

Maybe it's because the subject is a teacher she loves so much, so she found out so quickly.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Tang Ze was a little more colorful.

He intervened sideways and replaced Suzuki Sonoko, who would have been injured by this, out of kindness, and it was not good for the family to be shut up because of this.

“…… Did you find out too? Tang Ze sat up straight, looked at Suzuki Sonoko, and sighed, "When I arrived at the villa in the afternoon, I inquired about Nakamura-sensei, about the child who committed suicide three years ago. ”

"What does that have to do with Yonehara-sensei?" Sonoko Suzuki gritted her teeth and reluctantly asked.

"I have to say something about it, because she is the child's homeroom teacher, the child in the class 'committed suicide', and there are a lot of rumors against her among the students and the school, but it is true." Karasawa shook his head, "Nakamura-sensei said that Yonehara-sensei seems to know something inside and blames himself very much for it...... I tested the other two again. ”

Tang Ze didn't make something out of nothing here, what he said was indeed the information he had extracted from a few mouths.

For him, who is full of five dimensions, some simple words and side-to-side dialogues, even if he does not use the power of the golden finger, this is also a compulsory course for intelligence officers.

"I think that child's death must be more than just suicide." Tang Ze said affirmatively, "As her homeroom teacher, Ms. Yonehara, who has the most contact and communication with her, must have vague speculation about who killed her." ”

“…… That's why she said that. Without questioning why Tang Ze was able to come up with such a detailed investigation result in such a short period of time, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly raised his hand and wiped his face full of tears.

As soon as I met Yonehara-sensei today, Suzuki Sonoko saw the long-lost temperament on her face, soft and tolerant, as if she could confide in her all her troubles.

Such a gentle Yonehara sensei, if she embarked on this road of no return, then there must be some reason behind it, and she thought she had to do it.

Of course, as the reasoning freak said, nothing can be a reason to kill...... But when she heard from Tang Ze's mouth about Yonehara Koko's possible motives, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yonehara-sensei, even Yonehara-sensei, who committed unforgivable sins, is still the teacher she has always loved and admired, Sonoko Suzuki believes.

"What's that kid's name?" After two seconds of silence, Sonoko Suzuki asked.

"Minako Mochizuki." Tang Ze replied.

————

"We really regret Minako's matter." Under the very oppressive eyes of Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai, Takaichi Sakai, who couldn't resist, said truthfully, "But it's not our fault!" ”

"Is this how you quibbled with the officials who came to inquire about it three years ago?" Sentense let out a disdainful sneer, "You are the consultant of the volleyball club she joins, and the instructor who is in frequent contact with her, do you want to say that you have no responsibility for her hanging in the activity room of the volleyball club?" ”

Takuichi Sakai shuddered, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head again.

"And you, Ms. Nakamura, you could have stopped her, no matter what the reason for her suicide was." Seeing that he was silent, Sentense's fire turned to the next person, "She is a health commissioner, and you serve as the health teacher of their class, you are very familiar with her, right?" ”

Minori Nakamura bit her lip and looked away as well.

"Oh, of course I can't forget you, Yonehara-sensei." Sentense looked at the last person, "You are her homeroom teacher, and at the time of the crime, everyone thought that you were responsible for her death, and you were criticized for it, didn't you?" That's why the murderer chooses to start with you. ”

Yonehara Koko pursed her lips and stared at the corpse of Kohei Shimoda's distorted posture, but did not answer.

"Hmph, it looks like this isn't going to end here." Having completed a round of attacks, Sentense looked a little more satisfied, took a cigarette from the cigarette case on his chest, and lit it leisurely.

Then, it was taken away again and again by Shuichi Akai on the side.

"Don't pollute the scene, otherwise even if you are a journalist, you will have to go to court to respond to the lawsuit." Glancing at him, Amuro turned to the others present, "Anyway, the others have been staying in the living room on the first floor and have never left each other's sight, and it is the three of you who have the opportunity to step into the second floor, right?" ”

"There is a staircase up and down the second floor, and no one has ever walked down from the second floor after the crime, which this child named Conan can prove...... Well? Akai Shuichi, who was pointing out Conan's eyewitness, turned his head one by one, only to find that a schoolboy who had been in and out of the scene had disappeared.

He looked left and right, and soon found the shadow of half a schoolboy on the window edge at the end of the hallway.

Half of it is, indeed, and the other half has already stepped out.

"Hey! It's dangerous! Before Conan jumped out of the window completely, Akai Shu quickly grabbed the hood of his sweatshirt and dragged him back from the window, "Even if this is only the second floor, you can't jump straight down!" ”

He learned some of the unusual things about this child from Tang Ze's mouth, and through the investigation of Belmode, he vaguely detected his identity......

But that doesn't stop the fact that he's only a first-grade elementary school student now!

It is normal for such a young child to fall from this height and break his arm and leg.

"Well, there's something there!" Fluttering twice in his hand, Conan, who was struggling to no avail, had to point to the window that he pushed open, "Something is floating outside, I want to go down and see ......"

"I'll take a look." Putting the elementary school student in his hand on the ground, Akai Shuichi leaned in to observe, and with his outstanding eyesight, he immediately saw what Conan was referring to, "There is indeed something......

"I'll take a look outside." Amuro, who was also walking over, glanced at Iwai Munehisa, who leaned out of his upper body, and resisted the inexplicable urge to simply pull the other party out of the window, turned around and strode downstairs.

In addition to finding out what they were referring to, he also had to go to Tang Ze to settle accounts.

After roughly understanding the cause and effect of the case, Amuro's fists clenched at once.

No wonder Tang Ze wants to pretend to be dizzy!

Something was attacked, he was afraid that it was because the attacker was Mr. Yonehara that he was deliberately put down.

Among them, how much of the organization's surveillance has played, and how much of it is out of sympathy for the murderer, he simply slept and released the water, only Tang Ze himself knows.

After careful calculation, this may not be the first time for Tang Ze.

————

"This is the first time that I have come to my own conclusions about a homicide, and I don't have to wait for the detective or the police to solve my problems...... But for this reason. Suzuki Sonoko, who was huddled up on her knees, looked a little fragile, "Why, why didn't the bad guys get the punishment they deserved, but the good guys went to the point of no return and made the most extreme choice." ”

Whether it's a detective or a criminal policeman, maybe it's because she usually has too much contact, and she's about to be desensitized.

is just those things, which are generally inseparable from grievances and hatreds, entanglements of interests, and the backside of some human nature is undoubtedly shown in the case......

So she has never been interested in these murders, and as long as she thinks of the information that may be behind the cases, she will even be a little resistant to think about it, and she will have a sense of fear of being engulfed by negative energy.

However, many things don't really exist because they can't be seen.

Wait until you are in it, especially when the murderer becomes a familiar and loved person, the dilemma of the painful choice......

"Because justice is not being carried out." Tang Ze's voice was calm and steady, with a unique sense of rhythm, "Since I came to Tokyo, I have also been in contact with many cases, some of which are indeed momentary righteous indignation, which has made the situation uncontrollable, but there are also examples like Yonehara-sensei.

"If only the truth about Minako's death had been discovered three years ago, or maybe her family and friends would have been willing to cling to the matter rather than accept the school's peace...... That would have had another outcome. ”

Although part of it was to comfort Suzuki Sonoko, Tang Ze's emotion was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

As a spoiler with preconceived opinions and judgments, Tang Ze is more sympathetic to the murderer in many cases.

For example, Akiko Sayama, who was supposed to kill Tokio Ehara, who he pulled back, and Narumi Asai who was simply dragged into the monster thief group by him......

In Tang Ze's view, they will develop to such an extreme level, which in itself is a shortcoming of the judicial system.

Justice that cannot find a way out, in another form, irrevocably triggers the bursting of the embankment, which is the beginning of the tragedy, and the antecedents have long been predestined, and cannot be changed in a few words now.

"That's what detectives are all about, Sonoko-san." Tang Ze stretched out his hand and patted Suzuki Sonoko's drooping shoulder, "Although the tragedy has happened and is irreparable, solving the mystery of the case is only the work of cleaning up the aftermath...... But 'it's not too late to make amends', and not letting this cycle of regrets continue, which is the greatest significance. ”

"yes, if only there had been a detective three years ago who stood up and solved everything like that reasoning maniac......" Suzuki Sonoko exhaled regretfully, turned his head, and glanced at Karasawa in surprise, "You shouldn't be that guy's lobbyist or something, damn it, I admired Kudo a little bit by what you said, obviously just a naïve ghost who can't move when he encounters a puzzle." ”

"If you say that, Kudo-kun won't be convinced." Seeing her regain her spirits, Tang Ze smiled, "There's a reason why detectives are so sought after, right?" ”

"Isn't it because the police can't solve these problems?" Sonoko Suzuki snorted, and her expression finally slowly got rid of the gloom, "Thank you, I'm much better." ”

"It's not all about comforting you, that's really what I think." Shaking his head, Tang Ze said that he was not making it up for the sake of saying nice things.

"You're right, anyway." Sonoko Suzuki tilted her head, and her expression became a little more serious, "So, what can I do for them?" ”

"Them?"

"Well, someone like Yonehara-sensei...... What can I do for them? Sonoko Suzuki asked seriously, "I suddenly understand the thoughts of the Monster Thieves of the Heart, they may have experienced many similar scenes...... I don't like reasoning, I can't be a detective or anything, but I really hope that the teacher doesn't have to go down this path. ”

“…… It's good that you can generate this kind of thought. Tang Ze laughed, "And I promise, what you can do may be more powerful than the detectives and the Monster of the Heart." ”

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko, who received such high praise, was stunned, and some couldn't react, "It's too exaggerated, right?" ”

"Whether it's a detective or a thief in the heart, it's just an individual and a few collectives after all. But Sonoko-san, you are the daughter of the Suzuki family, and you will become the captain of tens of thousands of people in the future, and the resources you can mobilize are beyond your imagination. ”

Tang Ze looked at her solemnly, without a hint of joke.

"As long as you can remember your current mood and keep this heart in mind at that time, you can definitely do a lot.

"Funding the relevant departments, setting up a tracking unit for the backlog of important cases, setting up a victim assistance fund, or providing legal aid to civilians......

"It's not something that can be done by individual efforts, but maybe you can."

Stunned by his series of nouns and long speeches, Suzuki Sonoko came back to his senses for a while, and looked at Tang Ze's expression that was not laughing: "What you said, it seems to be really feasible......"

"I'm not kidding. Your sister has married and changed her surname, and you are now almost the only heir to the Suzuki family. Tang Ze spread his hands.

"That's amazing...... It's you, Tang Ze. Sonoko Suzuki turned her head and looked back at the flames in the fireplace, the soft flame reflected in her eyes like a pair of bright sparks, "Good! It's decided, I'm going to try it, try the method you said, there are other ways, I'll go back and ask Dad...... I'm sure I can do something for them, right? ”

At the moment when a smile bloomed on her face, a familiar voice exploded in Tang Ze's ears.

"I am you...... Thou shalt be my ......."

"Thou hast obtained a new deed here"

……

【Cooperation Sonoko Suzuki】

【Arcana: Stars Rank1】

[As a lady who seems to lack self-thinking, and the only brain circuits are left to friends and love, Suzuki Sonoko seems to be able to confirm that sentence forever-

When a person gains something, she loses something, as if she gets a lot of money, so she loses her troubles.

However, after the ridicule, when you really get in touch with her and get familiar with her, you will find that her indomitable hope and self-confidence are the wind of enthusiasm, the blazing fire, and the sincere friend that everyone wants to cherish. 】

[Acquired ability "Treasure of Daughters" (The amount of gold obtained in all scenarios has been increased)]

Tang Ze, who originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but clench the blanket on his body all of a sudden when he heard the last part, and his expression instantly became vivid.

Yes? All scenarios?

In other words, not only when you hit the shadows, but even when you explode the organization's gold coins, there is a bonus?!

And this kind of good thing?! That's awesome!

What is it called? This is called genuine, "as long as it is my friend, I will be prosperous and rich in my life, and I will have no worries about food and clothing"!

Before Tang Ze, whose expression instantly became cheerful, could say anything, a black hand (physical meaning) reached out from behind and slipped around Tang Ze's collar.

"Had a great discussion, kids?" Amuro leaned over with a smile, "I seem to have heard someone say something, what is the meaning of a detective?" Since it can be understood, it would be great, Mr. Detective needs a helper now, and a kind high school student won't refuse, right? ”
