At this moment, it is class time and the whole campus is quiet and peaceful.

The teacher's office was empty, with no one in sight.

Yamato Gansuke and Lin Xiaochen followed Ida Ko's instructions and came to Goda Shoji's workstation.

However, what I saw was shocking - the desk that should have been full of documents and items was now empty, as if it had been looted.

Date Ko explained to them: "Because of concerns that the frequent police coming in and out of the school would have a negative impact on the children's physical and mental health, the Investigation Division decided to move all the potentially useful things back to the Metropolitan Police Department."

Hearing this, Yamato Gansuke couldn't help but curse the people in the Metropolitan Police Department in his heart. They had obviously looted everything, but they were still pretending to allow the two to conduct an on-site investigation as a bargaining chip for negotiation.

Lin Xiaochen suddenly realized that he and Yamato Ganzhu had been tricked. But now that things had come to this point, since there was still a chance to continue the investigation, it was better than being forcibly stopped, so he had no choice but to accept the reality.

In fact, the principal had heard a long time ago that the police were going to visit the school. At this moment, he was standing nervously outside the office door, struggling with whether to go in or not. He was really afraid of repeating the same mistake and angering the police like last time.

At this moment, Lin Xiaochen caught a glimpse of a figure sneaking around the door. He frowned and shouted, "Who is there? Why are you lingering at the door?"

Yamato Gansuke, who was originally sitting quietly at Goda Masahiro's workstation, trying to experience the other party's working atmosphere, immediately stood up and looked towards the door after hearing the voice.

At the same time, Date Kou also noticed this unusual situation: "Hey, isn't that Principal Uematsu? Why don't you come in?"

The goateed principal looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. Then he slowly walked into the room, muttering, "Haha, I'm worried that I'll disturb the police officers... If it's like last time, it will be a big trouble."

Lin Xiaochen looked at Yi Dahang with suspicion, while Yi Dahang scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then lowered his voice and leaned close to Lin Xiaochen's ear to explain: "Last time, Matsuda brought a team to the school to check the safety of the equipment, and we happened to come to collect evidence, so he came to help..."

Oh, then it was probably because of Jinpei Matsuda's gangster-boss temperament that the principal misunderstood.

Lin Xiaochen nodded and said, "We are the prefectural police from Nagano, and we are here to assist in the investigation in Tokyo. Mr. Principal, we would like to understand Mr. Goda's interpersonal relationships and employment status. Please cooperate."

"Ah, I have them all. When the other police officer came here, he asked for a copy. I have them all ready." Uematsu Ryujiro blurted out. "By the way, the get out of class is about to end. I'll ask a teacher who is close to Mr. Watada to come over."

"That would be troublesome."

The bell for the end of get out of class rang crisply, as if it was a signal to release the students' energy.

The classroom door was pushed open in an instant, and the children rushed out of the classroom, full of vigor and energy; on the other side, the teachers walked in from outside, looking a little tired.

"Alas, we taught addition and subtraction today, but the children still don't seem to be able to adapt. Alas, after Goda disappeared, the children's enthusiasm for math is not very high..." one of the teachers sighed.

"Yeah, the quality of their after-class homework is not good either...Principal Uematsu, and this police officer?" The two teachers who had just entered the room showed a hint of surprise on their faces when they saw the four people in the room.

"Oh, this is Mr. Fujifuyu, he is a close friend of Mr. Goda." Uematsu Ryujiro introduced them, and then pointed to another person and said, "That is Mr. Rokuda, who teaches the first-year B class together with Mr. Goda."

"Hello!" Lin Xiaochen greeted the two teachers politely with a smile on his face, "We are here to conduct some additional investigations on Mr. Hetian's disappearance."

"Additional investigation..." Teng Dongchun muttered a few words in a low voice, not knowing whether he was looking forward to it or complaining, or both. "It would be great if we could really find out the truth..."

"Well, if you need any cooperation from us, please feel free to tell us. To be honest, we are also worried that it will be our turn next." Teacher Rokuda subtly gave Fuji Dongchun a way out.

Teng Dongchun seemed to realize what he had said and nodded: "We will definitely cooperate."

Lin Xiaochen took out the police notes and nodded to Yamato Gansuke to indicate that he could start questioning.

Yamato Gansuke also nodded in response. He said, "Okay, please tell me the subject you are in charge of..."

Before he finished speaking, a little girl ran into the office, her voice panicking and anxious: "Mr. Rokuda, Shinichi can't get down from the tree! Go and save him!"

"What?" Rokuda Takeo raised his voice. He glanced at Yamato Gansuke, and then quickly looked at Mao Li Ran. "Mauri-san, can you go ask Mr. Hirayama for help? The teacher is busy now."

"Teacher Hirayama is not here, the tree is too tall, and the ladder is broken..." Mao Lilan explained anxiously.

This is really troublesome.

The cherry tree on the playground is exceptionally tall. Ordinary teachers don’t know how to climb trees. Even with a ladder, it would be very difficult to climb up. But now the ladder is broken...

The police needed me to cooperate with the questioning, but I couldn't just ignore the child.

Lin Xiaochen saw his embarrassment and said, "Squad leader, can you please record it? I'll go help him."

The three policemen present are all capable of climbing the tree, but Ida Hang must stay with the two of them. Yamato Gansuke's questioning skills are better than Lin Xiaochen's, so it is most appropriate for Lin Xiaochen to help.

Moreover, Lin Xiaochen always has selfish motives.

As the protagonist and brainpower representative of this world, maybe I can learn other information from Kudo Shinichi.

Yi Dahang nodded and took the pen from Lin Xiaochen. Yamato Gansuke didn't know why Lin Xiaochen was suddenly so proactive, but after spending a few months together, he knew that Lin Xiaochen was not the kind of person who would act recklessly, and he didn't have too many opinions.

Lin Xiaochen ran quickly to the cherry tree.

The cherry trees were bare in the winter. Kudo Shinichi was sitting on a branch. There was a newly broken branch at his feet. It was probably broken when he stepped on it to gain leverage to climb down.

Mao Lilan followed Lin Xiaochen: "Officer Lin, please help Shinichi."

"Okay, don't worry, don't be afraid." Lin Xiaochen touched Mao Lilan's head, "Let uncle see where to climb up, okay?"

"Yes. Shinichi, hold on, Officer Lin will be here to rescue you soon."

Lin Xiaochen raised his head and circled around the cherry tree.

No, this tree is too tall and there are almost no footholds on the trunk. Even if I climb up, I can't bring the child down.

It would be really laughable if two people were trapped on it.

Seeing Lin Xiaochen sigh, he walked back to the branch where Kudo Shinichi was sitting and opened his arms: "Come on, Kudo-san, jump down."
