The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

"This is impossible!" Eyes widened, Mao Lilan retorted subconsciously, "Teacher Mihara does have long hair, but it is not long enough to be used as a murder weapon..."

As she spoke, she looked at Mihara Koko, who had a calm expression, and could not continue what she said.

Mihara Koko's expression was so calm that it was hard not to think of her role in the case.

Realizing her almost tacit attitude, Mao Lilan's expression was dull for a moment, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.

"Xiaolan..." Suzuki Sonoko approached them and reached out to hug her trembling best friend.

Regarding Mihara Koko, Mao Lilan may not have as exaggerated emotions as her, but after all, she is also a homeroom teacher who is loved by everyone. After discovering this, everyone has no feelings at all...

"But, but Teacher Yonehara was obviously attacked by the murderer..." Nakamura Minori covered her mouth and said in disbelief, her eyes fixed on Yonehara Koko, "She is also a victim, why would she..."

Amuro Toru's eyes moved slightly, first looking at Karasawa who was pretending to be nothing, and then at Suzuki Sonoko who was holding Mao Lilan and dodging somewhat.

Except for himself, the only two witnesses at the scene seemed to refuse to cooperate. Toru Amuro shook his head, understanding that it was impossible to hear the answer he wanted from them, so he continued to explain.

“When Suzuki-san came to see everyone, he clearly said that ‘Mr. Yonehara fainted in the room.’ Then when we rushed to the scene, we saw Karasawa and Mr. Koko Yonehara lying on the ground.

"So we will instinctively believe that there is a third party who first attacked Yonehara Koko and then attacked Karasawa who came to check the situation..." After prolonging his tone, Amuro glanced at Iwai Munehisa, who was in charge of the situation on the second floor. and Conan.

"These two questions can be solved through this evidence." Shuichi Akai pointed at the elementary school student in his hand, "Thanks to Conan-kun's careful inspection, we found the scene where Mr. Shimoda died. this thing."

As he spoke, he took out a transparent plastic bag and showed it to the light.

"This is a high-temperature wire used to make wigs..." Conan, who personally took it off from the deceased's fingertips, looked at the plastic bag and sighed, "Mr. Yonehara, is that a wig you're wearing?"

Toru Amuro nodded and looked at Karasawa and Suzuki Sonoko again who remained silent.

"...No need to embarrass those two children." With a bitter smile, Mihara Koko raised his hand, grabbed the hairnet on his head, and pulled off the wig on his head with a slight force, "Yes, this It’s definitely a wig.”

"So, what was lying on the ground at that time should be the body of Mr. Sugiyama wearing your wig. Moreover, this wig must be stained with Mr. Shimoda's blood." Toru Amuro gestured on his neck and made a sign The scratching posture, "Because when he was strangled, unlike Sugiyama who had basically lost consciousness, he instinctively grabbed the thing around his neck and pulled hard, thus leaving scratch marks on his neck."

"You're right." Yonehara Koko laughed at herself, "I can't help it. Since I'm not a competent teacher, I certainly can't be a competent murderer." If only I were careful enough and could be more careful in my actions. Okay... This thought has tortured me for a long time. However, it seems that I am indeed such a person."

Therefore, not only was she unable to protect the children, she even needed the children to protect her...

"Teacher..." Lingmu Yuanzi called in a low voice, and couldn't help hugging Mao Lilan tightly, hiding his expression on her shoulder.

Karasawa raised his head in turn, and looked at Mihara Koko with that gentle look again.

"As for the motive, everyone here must have heard about it." Toru Amuro, who played the role of a detective throughout the game, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Koko Yonehara's calm mood, "It is written on the two victims, and you The ones you have are mine, minako."

Fortunately, the leader of this case is an avenger with a clear purpose and is not too aggressive in fighting the detective. He does not need to show any aggression in order to maintain his identity as a detective.

Otherwise, worrying about Ireland who is watching from nowhere, he will have to use Akechi Goro's detective style, which will be a bit too harsh for this teacher who is essentially asking for justice for his former student. .

"Yes, it's all for her, to avenge my former student, Minako Mochizuki, who was murdered three years ago." Yonehara Koko nodded, as if all his passion had been consumed by the two murders he planned personally. Finally, a slight fatigue appeared on her face.

"Conspiracy, murder..." Nakamura Minori repeated the word, looking at Mihara Koko with particularly shocked eyes, "Didn't Minako commit suicide?"

While speaking, Yonehara Koko always maintained eye contact with Karasawa, and it seemed that she once again found the power to stabilize her emotions from Karasawa's calm and steady eyes.

So she slowly told everything that happened three years ago in an almost eloquent tone.

"One day three years ago, Minako came to me during lunch break and discussed with me a matter that had been difficult for her for a long time. She said that she accidentally bumped into a conversation between a teacher and a student's parents. Judging from the content of their conversation, this The two teachers who participated in the conversation may be suspected of illegal enrollment..."

Illegal enrollment generally refers to students who do not apply for student status through formal procedures, but rely on sponsorship, relationships, or even cheating on exams to illegally obtain student status.

Aido Elementary School is a public elementary school with excellent conditions in the city. It has many channels for further education and relatively good teaching resources. This kind of thing is not only illegal, but may even involve more serious situations...

"I only heard from her that one of the people was Sugiyama, and I didn't know who the other person was... She refused to tell me the other person's name. She said that that was her idol and she didn't believe that the other person was like this. Human, so before telling me, she had to ask the other party for confirmation and wanted to hear the other party’s explanation..."

Mihara Koko recalled this and took a deep breath, as if she saw that young face with tears appearing in front of her again.

Countless times, whenever she thought of that day, she deeply blamed herself for being careless.

How could she let a child get into contact with such a dangerous matter? Since this was a serious issue that might even involve asking for bribes, how disgusting those guys who were affected by their interests would become. Minako was a child who didn't understand. Why doesn't she understand?

Why did she just let the child go alone?

"The next day, Minako was found hanging in the lounge of the volleyball club." Mihara Koko closed her eyes and her voice became softer. "You also participated in the inquiry, including you, Mr. Mori, You also think something is fishy, ​​so you are targeting us... and you all know the final result."

Mochizuki Minako's death was eventually judged to be suicide. The school deliberately suppressed public opinion, and there was not even a splash.

Without useful information being investigated, Suntonshi's manuscript would naturally not be published in the newspaper.
