50. Victims and Persecutors (Seeking Follow-up)

In the humble bungalow, there are only square wooden tables and low stools, no modern decorations, no warm sofas, and no coffee tables with black tea snacks.

On the wall hangs a group photo, in which the old grandmother and the little girl are smiling brightly, like sunflowers in the morning sun.

The smell of a sumptuous dinner on a wooden table is soothing, but they all lie quietly in a packing box with the Michelin-starred restaurant logo.

Outside, the grandmother sits in a brand-new wheelchair, her steel needles alternate with wool, the ball of yarn slowly shrinks, and she prepares to knit a vest skirt for her granddaughter before winter arrives.

Inside the house, the teenagers and girls of the Hemu High School Detective Agency are standing opposite Riguri Ricka, and the atmosphere is tense.

"Yui Takakura's phone is with you, right?"

Yano asked again.

Riguri Oguri's pupils shrank, but she pretended to be calm,

"I don't know what you're talking about, how could her phone be with me."

"We just found it based on the location of the mobile phone, don't quibble, murderer."

Daisuke Furuhashi said rhetorically that he also wanted to show his presence in front of Chiyuki Mei, so he couldn't let the president finish all the lines.

Chiyuki Mei was still hiding behind Shirakawa, and cautiously popped her head out to look at Riguri Kokuri.

This is a girl with dry hair, a white face, a good face, a somewhat thin figure, only one meter five, and looks a little malnourished.

The dress on her body looks like she bought recently, and it is a famous brand.

This does not meet her family conditions.

So, she's using the victim's money.

Perhaps through text messages, the victim's home was asked for money several times.

Qianxue Yayi silently speculated in her heart, although she wanted to ask Bai Chuan if she was right, but she didn't dare to open her mouth in front of the suspect.

"Don't frame me, please leave my house at once, you are not welcome here."

Riguri glared at Daisuke Furuhashi, her hands clenched into fists, her voice had already begun to rise, and if everyone continued to say more, Shirakawa would surely yell loudly.

At this time, Bai Chuan slowly opened his mouth and said in a gentle tone,

"It must have been hard to live with my grandmother since I was a child."

Riguri Koguri raised her head and looked at Shirakawa, her eyes immediately clouded with mist.

Shirakawa continued,

"Grandma's left leg was injured, but she still insisted on getting up early every day, taking you to a nearby station, and every time you got out of school, she walked alone for half an hour to wait for you to come back to the platform, not worrying that you were alone.

"You really want to buy a wheelchair for your grandmother, but the wheelchair is very expensive, so you have to settle for the next best thing, you have saved money for a long time, and finally bought a crutch, but it was snatched away by Yui Takakura and her girlfriends, ridiculed, and hit you again and again with crutches, and finally broke off and discarded in the trash.

"You must hate Yui Takakura, because her family is poor, and she always bullies you.

"You had a bad time at school, but because you didn't want your grandmother to worry, you kept holding back and didn't say a word.

"Grandma spent half of her pension to get into this school, and you don't want to disappoint her.

"You must tell your grandmother every day about the interesting things that happened to you and your friends at school, which is why she is so enthusiastic when she sees us.

"You've done a good job, but if it's me, it's not necessarily as good as you."

What Chiyuki Mei, Yano Kami, and Furuhashi Daisuke didn't expect was that Shirakawa actually affirmed Riguri Koguri and was obviously comforting her.

Riguri looked at the handsome young man, he was like a melancholy poet, and like an angel who understood people's hearts best.

Few people can understand her.

When everyone knows the truth, they will definitely spit on themselves.

Think she's a terrible murderer, right?

It doesn't matter why she did it, or how much she has been wronged.

Riguri's psychological defense line was broken by Shirakawa's gentlest words, she held her head in her hands, squatted on the ground, and sobbed in an extremely restrained voice.

She was afraid of being heard by her grandmother outside the door.

"When did you get murderous?"

"Was it when the crutches were discarded, when you were pushed down the back mountain lake, or when you were beaten up in the bathroom for fun?"

Shirakawa asked in a calm tone, not so much questioning as talking to a friend.

He approached Riguri and lifted her up from the corner.

"Why be so gentle with the murderer."

Daisuke Furuhashi complained incomprehensibly.

Although Yano Shinmei didn't understand it, she inexplicably felt that such Kuraki-kun was very attractive, and she glared at Daisuke Furuhashi, "Shut up." ”

Daisuke Furuhashi could only bow his head and stop talking.

Qianxue Yayi suddenly discovered that Kuraki-kun was a very gentle person.

Shirakawa glanced at Qianxue Meiyi unexpectedly, she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Kuraki-kun at this moment.

Shirakawa continued to shift his gaze to Rika Oguri.

She finally spoke, her voice low and hoarse,

"Yes, I would love to kill her, very much, but I didn't, what if I became a murderer, what would my grandma do?"

"If it wasn't the person you killed, why would the phone be with you?"

Ya Ambi is sure that she is quibbling.

Riguri didn't look at her, but took out the mobile phone belonging to the victim Yui Takakura,

"This is what I picked up."

"Picked up?"

Both Yano and Daisuke Furuhashi expressed disbelief.

"If you found it, why didn't you give it to the police or her parents, why did you secretly use her social media account yourself, and send a message to her parents to fake the illusion that she is still alive?"

"Because, because I want to live a life that I have never had, I also want to wear a nice dress, carry a nice bag, be cared for by my parents, I also want to have all this, why can she get it easily, but I can't?"

"Do you want to be the other while being bullied?"

Shirakawa looked sadly at Rika Koguri in designer clothes.

Riguri Oguri could tolerate this group of people pointing fingers at her, but she couldn't bear Shirakawa, who was so gentle to her, showing a look of disappointment.

She is an extremely insecure girl who longs to be loved.

This kind of look stabbed her deeply.

It's like seeing a pure angel, and when you want to be embraced, the angel shows disgusted eyes and says, you are too dirty.

Riguri Oguri's tears kept flowing, and she didn't dare to look at Shirakawa anymore, and said stubbornly,

"No, I don't want to be her, I don't want to be her, I don't want to be her."

Then, she suddenly took off her clothes, revealing the dense scars on her body.

On the fair skin, there are scars that cannot be healed.

Some have scabbed, and some still have dark red marks.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

She got dressed, looked up in despair, and looked at Shirakawa,

"So, can you trust me?"

Chiyuki Mei immediately took out a tissue from the pouch and handed it to Shirakawa, the closest to Riguri Oguri.

Bai Chuan took out a tissue, helped the girl wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a gentle tone,

"Rika-chan, if you don't want to be the first suspect, please tell me what you saw that day, and the whole process of you picking up your phone."

Riguri Koguri slowly lowered her head and began to recall what happened that day,

"That day, I was beaten up by them in the bathroom, and Yui Takakura scolded my grandmother, so I mustered up the courage and found a shovel in the trash can, and I followed her.

I wanted to at least get her to apologize to my grandma.

Then, I saw a strange man come to the school to look for her, and they went to the back mountain together......"
