Protect our prophets

"Although Shenmu has admitted his crimes, until now, we still have many doubts."

Songxue said to herself, as if she was sorting out her thoughts: "First of all, he did not deny that he pushed Ayanokoji down the stairs, nor did he deny his intention to murder. There is absolutely no wrongdoing in arresting him. Analyze the murderer's psychology.

"If Shenmu had prepared the murder weapon in advance, why didn't he just take advantage of his unpreparedness and make a surprise attack? With Ling Xiaolu and Shen Mu's physical differences, she has no ability to resist at all. But he has to wait until Ling Xiaolu falls downstairs, and he may have already lost consciousness. It doesn't make sense to use the murder weapon after that."

"Maybe it's because she's not dead." Mizushima's expression returned to calm after a short unnatural twitch.

She shook her head: "Pushing people down the stairs, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is very different from the way of thinking of killing someone with a knife. If it is done by the same person, it would be too divided. Therefore, I speculate that the two A move by a different person."

"So you think it's me?" Mizushima smiled coldly, and said calmly, "What's the basis? That's interesting. I'm afraid no one will think so except you."

"This is the problem." Songxue sighed softly, "Many people would not pay attention to you, including me. When I checked the files later, I found something that aroused my interest—"

"When you were in middle school, the club you joined was the reasoning club. As a fan of reasoning, it would be strange to say that you haven't seen "The Curtain" and don't understand this kind of criminal method?" Songxue shrugged.

"You have thought about it early on, hiding behind, and keeping yourself in the safest place. A smart person like Mizushima-san can easily see through other people's thoughts, figure out their thoughts, and possible actions-then, When the time is right, a few simple language inducements can easily achieve the desired result.

"For example, pretending to persuade a fight, but intending to provoke Ayanokōji further... In the end, you were accidentally injured by us and took advantage of the situation. But in fact, I believe that this is the result of your own intentional creation, otherwise, if you were unprepared at that time and pushed Come on, when you hit the wall, you shouldn’t have injured your ankle, but your spine. If you didn’t do it on purpose, you wouldn’t have done something that didn’t fit your personality—you must know Kawahara’s little moves before, even Added fuel to the flames, didn't it?"

"You think too much, Miss Ayanokōji has a temper, it's normal." Mizushima said.

"Because it's normal, these things you did won't attract the attention of others." Songxue looked at her and smiled, "If you think these are irrelevant, let's go back to the three cases committed by Shenmu. .”

Mizushima remained silent, and gripped the can tightly.

"Why didn't Shenmu take action against Yukimura, but instead found me by beating around the bush. I analyzed his mental state yesterday, so I won't repeat it again—besides, maybe he still has a certain awe of their minister, so subconsciously avoided him.

"But at the beginning, Yukimura-kun really felt the malice directed at him. But after thinking about it, I think this malice can only come from you, Mizushima-san."

"What are you kidding?" She couldn't help frowning, "To Yukimura-kun, it's obviously—"

"You want to say that you like him, right?" Songxue nodded, "I don't doubt that. But as I said, you are a rational person, and you won't be blinded by love... ...Oh, not entirely accurate, you will have killing intent, and it is indeed because of feelings."

Mizushima straightened his back, and his tone became a little hasty, but also very blunt: "Song Xue, what are you talking about?"

"It's out of jealousy." She said in one breath, "The love that I used to like may change after realizing that I can't get it. You see everyone attracted by Yukimura, admiring or admiring him. Even yourself, It has also been shaken... So, you have an idea that as long as you let him disappear, everything will return to normal."

The girl's dark pupils instantly widened, revealing for the first time an emotion similar to astonishment.

"you--"

"But you naturally don't know how to do it yourself, so in the long-term observation, I found the best object, Shenmu Shunsuke, a humble, pious crush. But it is easy to encourage him to have a murderous impulse, but it is not so easy to let him aim at the target It's simple...but you don't care, if something happens to me, Yukimura and Matsumoto will be forced to get involved, and you stay out of it, happy to see it happen."

Songxue paused for a while, but did not wait for the other party's response.

She smiled lightly and continued to speak.

"But he failed the first time. Then, you quietly planned the second case for him, convincing him that if you don't get rid of Ayanokoji in advance and blame me for the crime, Matsumoto Yuko will be arrested." Suspect.

"Ayanokōji was also asked out by you. She won't be wary of you, so she left the tennis club ahead of time and went to the appointment. Unsuspecting, she was pushed downstairs by Shenmu who suddenly appeared. Shenmu fled in a hurry, but you were still worried. Afraid that he would let Ayanokouji go again because of his soft heart or panic. So, you rushed to the scene as soon as he left, and checked whether Ayanokouji was dead. Only after confirming that she was dead did you boldly take out the prepared A dagger was inserted into her chest in an attempt to create disturbing clues and confuse the police.

"—If she hadn't died, you wouldn't have done that, because you would never let the blame fall on yourself."

"..."

The girl on the opposite side lowered her head, most of her face was blocked by the shadow of her bangs, so she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Songxue continued in a normal tone: "The third time, the day before we set the trap, Shenmu left early, and you, who stayed behind, told him exactly what Yukimura said at that time, and he really did like you As expected, I couldn't bear it, and acted again."

Fortunately, she saw the "prophecy" that happened to Huadi that evening, and knew their tactics in advance.For the murderer, the most familiar place to commit the crime is still the school.

Large-scale props are not suitable for moving. If Shenmu wants to do it, he can only use local materials.

So, after everyone left the school, they searched the school and found a bulletin board that could have a similar effect on the fourth floor of the club activity room.

In this way, the next day's actions are completely under their control.

Mizushima exhaled, and when he raised his head again, there was still a faint smile on his lips: "According to you, the murderer is Shenmu. After all, I didn't kill Ayanokoji, it was Shenmu who did it, and the person who decided to kill her was also Shenmu .”

"Indeed, Shenmu believed that he committed the murder out of his own will, and he didn't realize what impact your words had on him." Songxue said dryly, "In fact, many people have short-lived An impulse of one sort or another, but they don't actually carry it out... what you do is subtly make him make up his mind to turn the impulse into reality."

It's cunning and cruel.

From the beginning to the end, all Songxue did was "reasoning".

She looked at the other party's smile and sighed softly.

"I have no evidence." Songxue said, "The camera in the store captured the picture of you paying...but there is no evidence that it is the same dagger that was left at the scene. But I think, for you, what you are most afraid of is not Arrested by the police, but—"

"What?" Mizushima's expression froze.

"Yukimura and the others will know about it." She said slowly, "Your crimes may not be disclosed to the public, but the classmates and teachers around you, no matter the person you like or the person who likes you, they will know. It's okay See, do they believe me?"

Songxue stood up and looked condescendingly at the opposite high school girl of the same age: "I don't expect you to regret it, but you have to know that even if you leave today safe and sound, it will not be easy in the future."

Mizushima Jing seemed to realize the consequences for the first time, her complexion turned slightly pale, and she stared at her in disbelief.

"Are you a threat?"

"It depends on how you understand it."

Songxue didn't intend to waste any more time on her, said "Farewell" briefly, picked up the juice, drank it down, and left without hesitation.

There was no movement behind him for a long time.

When Songxue walked down the steps and looked up at the bright sky outside, she was not sorry.

If her guess is correct, Mizushima Shizuka probably won't have the chance to leave that small shop today.

Winfield hinted that she would help.

And the witch's poison never leaves a trace.

……

Songxue was walking along the road in front of the school, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps coming from the opposite side.

She looked up and saw several familiar figures running towards her.

"Hey!" Marui stopped, raised his hand and shouted to her, "Are you okay?"

Songxue also waved to them.

Yukimura ran in a hurry, before he recovered his breath, he held her hand and unconsciously exerted some strength: "You met her alone? It's too dangerous——"

"It's all right." Songxue raised her face, showing a reassuring smile, then looked at the time on her wrist, and pursed her lips, "Well, Mr. Liu Sheng, have you brought your mobile phone? I think you may Need to... call an ambulance, and the police."

The teenagers glanced at each other and were stunned.

"It's Mizushima? She..." Marui asked cautiously.

"A conceited criminal like her may not be able to accept failure." Songxue said lightly.

The oppressive feeling of facing death is shrouded again.

After a long silence, Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps, this is already the best result."

Matsuyuki looked at her held hand, curled up her index finger, and poked Yukimura's palm.He seemed to have just come back to his senses, his eyes turned around, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, and turned into a gentle smile.

"Thank you, Xiaoguang, this time is finally really over."

She put her free left hand on it, held it together, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, this is also the result of everyone's hard work."

Yukimura pondered for a moment, then slowly asked: "After that—"

He seemed to want to ask something, but he didn't continue.

Songxue didn't think too much about it, and patted his wrist briskly: "It's also thanks to Yukimura-kun who discovered it early, so I'll just explain to everyone about pretending to be a girlfriend. After all, there are too many suitors who really It's a very troublesome thing, and I think they will all understand."

Liu Sheng: "..."

Marui: "..."

Liu Sheng pushed his glasses, and quietly concealed the wry smile on his lips.

After hearing this, Yukimura's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked, "What about you, what do you think of me?"

"Oh, I think Yukimura-kun is very good." Matsuyuki said seriously, "Really, in my mind, you are—well, it should be said, the most ideal A!"

The bus station was ahead, and the bus she was waiting for was entering the platform.After she finished speaking, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly bid farewell to them, and ran away.

"I still have to find someone, let's go first, see you later!"

The few remaining people stood in place, chaotic in the wind.

Yukimura thought for a long time, and looked at the two teammates hesitantly.

"How does she know that I have type A blood?"

"..."

never mind.Liu Sheng swallowed the words that came to his lips with difficulty.
