Protect our prophets

After Song Xueguang's voice fell, the scene was quiet for a while.

- "Who is this?"

Renzu broke the silence slightly in a daze, and also asked some people what they wanted.

"Shunsuke Shenmu, second-year group D," Matsuyuki glanced at himself, and listed the basic information calmly, "He is a classmate of Marui-kun and a member of the second team of the tennis club."

The boy suddenly raised his head, stared straight at Songxue, moved his dry lips, and said, "You know me..."

"I don't remember the past." Songxue replied very simply, "but for the recent events, my memory is not bad. I have read the information of the tennis club members, not only the selected players, after all—— "

When she said this, she paused, and looked at Yukimura with a little apology in her eyes.

"To me, everyone is suspect."

Songxue sighed.Although she tried her best to rule out the possibility of being selected as a member for Yukimura, she finally found that she still couldn't get rid of the tennis club.

He shook his head slightly at her, indicating it was okay.

"Go on." Yukimura's voice was very calm, but obviously lower than before, Liu gently supported his back, as if to comfort him.

Sanada looked at Shenmu, his eyes darkened.

Leaving aside the others, the two of them, as ministers and deputy ministers, naturally remembered every member of the department clearly.In his impression, although Shunsuke Kamiki doesn't have obvious tennis talent, he wins in being down-to-earth and diligent.

Sanada was shocked at this moment.He thought that this student in the same grade was at least a well-behaved person, but he didn't expect...

Although it's unbelievable, he is a person who accepts reality quickly. He took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice: "Shenmu, why did you—"

"Why did you kill Rie Ayanokōji?" Atobe took the words without any trace, exposing the reality that everyone couldn't bear to face for him.

"Because he likes Matsumoto Yuko," Matsuyuki said, "and Matsumoto is not only childhood sweetheart with Yukimura-kun, but also has a different kind of affection for him."

"It's just because of jealousy..." Liu frowned, "No, then why was Ayanokoji the one who died?"

"Speaking of which, the most important thing to consider when studying the murderer's motives is psychology."

Songxue looked around at the girls from the support club, they subconsciously avoided their eyes, took a few steps back in shock, and whispered to each other again.

She regretted that Matsumoto was not present today.But since she suffered a lot of grievances yesterday, it might be better for her if she is not here today...

Matsuyuki continued: "Let's look at it from the perspective of a crush. Before I showed up a month ago, everyone felt that Yukimura and Matsumoto were very suitable. meeting.

"What do ordinary people think? Between the high-ranking goddess and the campus prince, if there is mutual agreement, what else is there for me? He is willing to stand silently in the distance and watch Matsumoto Yuko get happiness... But, things suddenly changed It turned out that Mr. Yukimura had no feelings for her at all, ignored her overtures, and was with other girls.

"Some twists and turns happened in the middle. Girls care more about things like reputation, but boys may not take it so seriously. Although Yukimura proposed to break up because of his girlfriend's 'character' issues, it may only be due to temporary pressure from public opinion. Thoroughly What's the best way to solve this problem?"

Marui's expression was stiff: "Get rid of 'her'."

Songxue nodded to him.

"Then, a car accident happened. Fortunately, I survived, and the driver who caused the accident has not been found yet... But, I don't think there is any need to look for it." She paused, raised her head to accept everyone's attention calmly.

"I returned to school intact, and then I heard the 'gossip' among the students that the car accident was man-made, and the person who did it might be Ayanokōji. This was also the development that the murderer originally expected, but he soon Realizing her mistake——Ayanokōji will also hear these rumors, and with her character, she will definitely deny and refute the rumors immediately. Then, the next suspect will be Matsumoto Yuko."

Yagyu understood: "He was afraid of implicating Matsumoto Yuko, so he simply took the risk and killed Ayanokōji?"

"But won't this make her more suspicious?" Jackal couldn't help asking.

"Originally not. As long as she has an alibi." Songxue said, "Anyone who knows Matsumoto knows that she is inseparable from Kawahara and Xiaocheng, and there is a support team activity that day. As long as she keeps showing up in front of everyone, she is innocent." of."

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. In order to find the missing Ayanokoji, Matsumoto left the sight of others...

This also gave them an opportunity to set him up.

"And I, the person who has the most motivation to be regarded as a murderer, has an alibi."

"That's too..." Marui choked up slightly in the middle of speaking, "Just for this reason, you killed Ayanokōji?!"

"I said, don't use ordinary people's thinking to figure out the murderer. When he decides to take this path, he won't look back." Songxue didn't look at Shenmu, and continued talking on her own.

"Who is Ayanokōji? She has always provoked Matsumoto many times, and she never tires of it, but Matsumoto has always compromised, unwilling to confront her. The murderer doesn't like her in the first place, so what does it matter if she lives or dies?— —Don’t forget, the real first crime was the car accident.”

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Everyone looked at Shunsuke Kamiki with different expressions.

Marui, who was most familiar with him, quickly calmed down after the initial shock, at least on the surface. With a sullen face, he patted the Jackal on the shoulder and walked forward slowly.

"Is it really you, Shunsuke?" His tone was not as calm as his fiery red hair, but rather depressing.

Shenmu didn't answer him, but just looked at Songxue coldly: "You have no evidence."

"Hey, what are you kidding, do you still want to deny it now!"

Kirihara couldn't hold back for a moment, and angrily raised his foot and kicked the bulletin board, making a dull bang.He gritted his teeth, with a half-smile expression on his face, giving his teammates a vague glimpse of a demonic tendency, but he barely controlled it, hovering on the verge of attack: "Everyone has stolen goods, there is no one in this building except you." Someone else, all the exits are blocked, is it you or who?"

"Having said that—" Liu Sheng held down the frame of his glasses, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"You dare to attack Minister Yukimura, I think you are impatient?" He said while moving his wrist and slowly clenched it into a fist.

Liu raised his hand to hold Qieyuan, and reminded: "Chiye, Jingshi is fine."

"But Senior Liu, you're fine now, that's luck—what if something happens?" He said hastily, "If it wasn't the minister just now, maybe it was Senior Songxue who suffered!"

As soon as Kirihara finished speaking, he saw Yukimura's face darken again, and he vaguely felt that he had said something wrong, so he involuntarily closed his mouth.

He glanced quietly at the other party.

But Songxue looked at them and sighed slightly: "Originally, nothing will happen."

"What do you mean?" Willow asked.

"After school yesterday, Atobe-kun and I checked repeatedly for a long time, just to make sure that everything is safe today and that no one will be injured."

Marui turned her head abruptly, a little unbelievable: "You mean, you brought yourself here on purpose today?"

"Well, I know you react faster than me, but just in case, it's best to stagger the distance from me when you walk out of the gate." Songxue said here, a little embarrassed.

She knew very well that it was a coincidence that it was a coincidence that Marui came to her at noon, and she thought that it would be less likely to arouse suspicion if two people went there together, so she decided to take an extra risk.

"That's why I asked you to move so many books... Sorry, I have to trouble you to put them back later."

Marui looked at her blankly for a while: "I don't understand."

"I knew when he was going to attack, so the original plan was to retreat immediately after I walked out of the gate, but Yukimura-kun suddenly appeared, so I couldn't..." She coughed dryly, lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look at Yukimura's face, The voice became louder, "Fortunately, Mr. Huadi and the others saved us according to the backup plan."

"..." Everyone was silent for a while.

Yagyu glanced at Yukimura with some unease, then turned his head back.

"But how do you know the murderer's plan?"

"We'll talk about this later." She replied briefly, looking up at Shenmu.

As she expected, although the other party was silent, his eyes were fierce.

Yukimura took a step sideways, blocking Matsuyuki.

She looked up and saw him shaking his head towards herself: "I'll talk to you about changing the plan later."

He was really upset.

Not only Song Xue, but everyone else clearly felt it.Kirihara coughed dryly, trying to bring the topic back: "Minister Yukimura, let's not talk about this..."

As he spoke, he stared at Mu coldly: "The one who really needs to be held accountable is the murderer."

Shinozu immediately called the police, crossed his arms around his chest, and tapped his arm with his fingertips: "But now there is a problem, we stopped the murderer's attempt today..."

"Huh? So what?"

"So, not murder, but attempted murder," Yagyu said.

Kirihara froze for a moment.He may not quite understand the difference, but someone will.

"That is to say," Atobe said slowly, grabbing everyone's attention firmly in his hands as soon as he opened his mouth, "We can only be sure that today he pushed the bulletin board down from upstairs in an attempt to hurt the students of the same school. , but he cannot be accused of murdering Ayanokouji because of this."

When he said this, he gave Songxue a look, which seemed very casual.

But Songxue understood what he meant and nodded knowingly.

There were more and more students at the scene. Although they were controlled by the disciplinary committee members outside a certain range, hearing this still caused a gasp.

The jackal felt his heart beat a beat slower, and he breathed a sigh of relief before he said, "Then if you set a trap today, wouldn't your work be in vain?"

Songxue raised her index finger, signaling them not to worry.

"Let's go back to the day when Ayanokouji died. The police investigation really didn't go well." She went on in an orderly manner. "Before the incident, part of the monitoring system at the entrance and exit of the building and the corridor was faulty, and it has not been reported for repair in time. This information is not clear to everyone. Only when the murderer understands it before committing the crime can he avoid it accurately." All monitoring, entering and leaving the teaching building without being detected."

"There is no video, no witnesses, and the murder weapon was left at the scene..." Liu Sheng said slowly, "Even if we knew, only the prisoner would want to do it again, and we caught him at the scene today, but there is no evidence to give him conviction."

Songxue shook her head, smiled slightly, and looked at the expressionless Shenmu: "Who said there is no evidence?"

"You have evidence?" Renzu was surprised, and quickly glanced at Atobe.Didn't she say that before?

The latter remained calm and motioned him to be quiet.

Song Xue opened the zipper of the satchel, took out an evidence bag, lifted it up and shook it.

It's a tennis ball.

Shenmu's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"It was found at the scene, two people can testify, and your fingerprints were detected on it - although it is a tennis ball in the tennis club, there may be many people who have handled it. But the one who can leave the clearest fingerprints must have been there The scene. How are you going to explain it?"

His wooden face collapsed, he rushed forward suddenly, was grabbed by the shoulder, pressed back hard, and blurted out:

"how is this possible!"

"How is it impossible? You thought you were safe, but in fact, you left this at the scene." Songxue put down the evidence bag unhurriedly, "It was kept with Yukimura-kun before, because he wanted to protect you, and he believed him The team members are innocent."

She let out a long sigh.

"But, student Shenmu, what did you do?"
