Those days of traveling in Yokohama

?This studio is covered with dust because no one has cared for it for a long time. This is indeed the same as Mami Ikemoto said. No one has visited this room for a long time.

The rope hanging from a high place, and the kicked chair under the rope, really fit the appearance of hanging himself, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa always felt that something was wrong, "What did the police say? How many people's fingerprints were on the rope?" ?” As Ikemoto Ari’s only relative, Ikemoto Mami should know the news about that incident very well.

"There are the fingerprints of Yali and all the witnesses on the rope, but this rope was originally a still life painted in this studio, and it is normal to be stained." This is what the police and Mami Ikemoto said. Several paintings from different angles also illustrate this point, and there is indeed such a rope in the center of the painting.

Ikemoto Mami signaled Akutagawa Ryunosuke to get rid of the paintings placed on the easels, as well as the still lifes surrounded by the easels.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked around these paintings, and then sat down on the chairs in front of each painting one by one, "Miss Ikemoto, have the positions of these paintings and the still life in the middle been changed?"

Mami Ikemoto shook her head, "No one has touched this. Is there something wrong with these paintings?" Mami Ikemoto is now unwilling to let go of any evidence related to this.

"The location is wrong." Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at Mami Ikemoto with a confused expression, and motioned Mami Ikemoto to stand over, "From this angle, what is the difference between the still life in the middle and this painting except that the top rope is missing ?”

Mami Ikemoto stood in front of the easel, looked up and down the difference between the two, and finally shook her head, "There is no difference, almost exactly the same, Mr. Niihara, is there any problem?"

"Sit down and have a look." Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not answer Ikemoto Mami's question, but asked Ikemoto Mami to sit down and have a look.

Mami Ikemoto sat on the chair and observed for a while, "The painting is a bit different from the still life, and the angle seems to be a bit wrong."

"That's right." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded, that's the problem, "These paintings were drawn by those students sitting on chairs, logically speaking, when sitting and watching, the students' paintings will be the same as the still life in the middle , instead of standing, I just walked around these paintings and found that the problems of these paintings are the same, all of them stand to see the paintings and still lifes from the same angle."

If there is a problem with one picture, then it can be said to be an accident, but if all these paintings have problems, then there must be something wrong, "Are these paintings and still lifes put up later?" Mami Ikemoto took a breath, But there are still some puzzles, "Mr. Xinyuan, why did they do this?"

"This can explain three points. First, it shows that there are problems with their testimony. They all killed Miss Yali because of depression. They said that Miss Yali chose to commit suicide because of her mental state. But you think a mental state People who have problems and want to commit suicide will choose to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find the rope, or it will be faster to use these utility knives.”

Akutagawa Ryunosuke signaled Ikemoto Mami to look at the well-placed tools in front of each easel, including a utility knife for sharpening pencils. If you commit suicide, it would be faster to choose this one, but Ikemoto Ari did the opposite. In the right way, I chose a more troublesome rope.

"Second, the rope is the still life drawn by these students. It is in the middle of these easels. If you want to get the rope from the innermost part, you have to move the easel to get it. A person who is in a hurry to commit suicide will commit suicide after taking it. tools, and set up the easel?"

This is a very abnormal behavior, and it just shows that Ari Ikemoto did not commit suicide. Compared with suicide, this is more like a well-planned murder. Ryunosuke Akutagawa clearly saw it from the perspective of a bystander. everything.

"Third, these paintings are placed here, which shows one thing. These paintings are not finished, or other people left in a hurry. I have seen the degree of completion of these paintings, and they are all extremely beautiful. This can be The former is ruled out, but if it was a rush to leave, why only the paintings were not collected?"

Although the paints, brushes, palettes, and buckets are all placed here, they are all clean, the paints are well covered, the brushes and palettes are clean, and there is no pen washing in the bucket Water, since we have already done this, why not remove the paintings and still lifes?

"They are using paintings to pretend that Mr. Ari committed suicide. They want to clear themselves of the suspicion!" The boy in school uniform held the door and showed a fearless smile at Ryunosuke Akutagawa, "I We have found evidence that they and Teacher Yali did it!"

"Who are you?" Ikemoto Mami looked at the boy standing at the door vigilantly. How long has this guy been listening to them secretly at the door?Akutagawa Ryunosuke took half a step forward and stood in front of Mami Ikemoto.

"I'm Kudo Shinichi, I'm from the Teidan Kingdom. There's a reason why I knew Mr. Ari." Kudo Shinichi told the reason why he met Ikemoto Ari again, and then went back A lot of time.

In Kudo Shinichi's hand was an open handkerchief, and in the middle of the handkerchief were some scraps of unknown origin, which made Ryunosuke Akutagawa frowned subconsciously, "This is where I put art I found it in the props room." Kudo Shinichi explained.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke rolled it up a little bit, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his brows became more obvious, and it was not wrong as he imagined, this thing is a drug, "It's marijuana. "Akutagawa Ryunosuke's voice was a little heavy. Seeing this, he probably could already think of the reason. In order to cover up this, he killed people to silence him.

Ikemoto Ari was the one who was killed by them, but they would choose to kill the mouth, so before that, they would definitely tempt Ikemoto Ari to fall with them.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't believe it, and Ari Ikemoto didn't know what would happen to those people if he didn't promise, "Miss Ikemoto, did Miss Ari tell you anything? Before that, please recall carefully."

Ikemoto Mami watched the two people staring at her, her voice trembled, "I, let me think about it." Ikemoto Mami seemed to think of something, and her frowning brows eased, "The day before Yali's accident, Yali Li said to hurry up and finish drawing the journal, otherwise it will be too late.”

Ikemoto Mami didn't take it seriously at the time, but now I recall that when Ikemoto Ari said that, he had a sad expression and a big problem with his tone.

After Ikemoto Mami finished speaking, Akutagawa Ryunosuke began to recall the details on the account book, but Kudo Shinichi was a little at a loss, "The account book, what account book, can you show me the account book?" Mami Ikemoto handed the account book to Shinichi Kudo.

Kudo Shinichi first turned to the last page, looked at it carefully, and then started to turn forward. After muttering for a while, he took out another notebook and began to record some words on it, "Mr. There is a problem with the place to go and the things you want to buy. You can’t buy this thing in that season this season, plus the words used for decoration next to it, combined and re-spelled is the fallen flower.”

Kudo Shinichi combined these words several times. According to the order of front and back, this word is the only word that has no redundant words.

Ikemoto Mami froze there after hearing the word, and then tears began to fall, "Why is this? Why did this happen to Ari, why?" Ikemoto Mami had some emotions out of control.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was a little overwhelmed. He leaned next to Kudo Shinichi and asked Kudo Shinichi in a low voice, "Does this word have any special meaning?"

"It's the name of an American movie starring Sharon Wynyard." Thanks to the blessing of his mother's big star, Kudo Shinichi often followed his mother to watch some messy movies, and this fallen flower is One of them, "probably tells the story of a group of teenagers who are willing to degenerate, after several twists and turns, and finally saved by a teacher."

Mami Ikemoto took the tissue that Akutagawa Ryunosuke handed her, wiped away the tears on her face before speaking, "Ari likes this movie very much. Will go to be a teacher, she said, these students are as beautiful as flowers."

Ari Ikemoto came to this school with good wishes, but unexpectedly, he actually met such a student. There was silence in the studio, and neither Akutagawa Ryunosuke nor Kudo Shinichi knew how to comfort the lost. The only thing they can do is to bring the murderer of Ari Ikemoto to justice.

"There is no way to prove that those people are the murderers with only these evidences. Now we can only prove that these people took drugs. We need more evidence to prove that Miss Yali was killed by them. "Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt a little headache. Although he was able to infer some truths through the scene, the inference is still an inference after all. To prove all this, more evidence is needed.

But it has been so many days, even if there is any evidence, those people should have dealt with it more or less.

"Then Mr. Niihara, shall we investigate the witnesses at that time?" Kudo Shinichi also called Mr. Akutagawa Ryunosuke Niihara after Ikemoto Mami.

"It should be investigated, but it's not us, it's me." After Akutagawa Ryunosuke finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Mr. Niihara, how could you do this? I also helped, you call crossing rivers and tearing down bridges!" Kudo Shin blushed and didn't know what to say.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke sighed helplessly, "The fact that they can attack Ikemoto Ari means that they are not good people. I don't know what else they can do. Kudo-kun, I admit that you are very smart, but You are too young to protect yourself, this matter is too dangerous for you."
