A world where only the protagonist has color

A bunch of footprints in the flower bed are roughly in the shape of eight side by side, leaving deep pits in the mud.It seemed that someone jumped out of the drama club directly through the window, and it was probably the murderer.

"Based on the length of the sole of the foot," the male police officer from the forensics department who had called Chisuke Inoue downstairs was holding a pen and paper and reported: "The owner of the footprint is a male, and his height should be between 175 and 185."

"Oh, I see."

Inoue Chiku nodded, and said: "You guys continue to search the scene, I will go to the first person to find out some information first. Ah yes, Mihua University has prepared a separate empty classroom for us to temporarily stay in the interrogation room."

A hard-working player herself, a year of experience has also made Inoue Chizuki gradually mature in case handling. She is now fully able to escape from the protection of Police Officer Megure and lead a team to solve cases beautifully on her own.

The appearance of her standing in the center of the policeman with her spine upright has begun to be praised by outsiders many years later as the shadow of an elite police detective.

The informant—the girls who were the first to discover the case—had already sat in the small meeting room temporarily provided by the school. After greeting the police officers guarding the door, Inoue Chizuru pushed the door in, but saw in the room The second person who took her by surprise.

The four eyes met, Inoue Chiku's pupils trembled slightly, and swallowed the name that he almost blurted out.

She pretended not to know each other, calmly opened the chair and sat down in front of the five people opposite, and said, "Everyone, please introduce yourself first?"

"Hello," the man who surprised Qianshu Inoue spoke first. He was wearing a hooded sweater and leaning on a chair, smiling, "I'm Satoshi Niimura, and I'm the resident singer at the bar."

"Then Mr. Niimura, why are you here?"

"On Friday, the victim, Ms. Nakajima, asked me to come here today to teach some guitar playing skills to the members of the drama club, so I came downstairs as promised at around ten o'clock this morning, waiting for Ms. Nakajima to meet with me."

Inoue Chisuke rubbed her brows feeling helpless, she always felt that the frequency with which she met Zhu Fu Jingguang at the murder scene had almost caught up with the frequency of meeting the only son of the Kudo family who was still in elementary school in the first search section at the murder scene.

The other two women present were friends of the victim, Ms. Nakajima, who had been unable to contact Nakajima since the weekend afternoon.After finishing the first class this morning, they went to the drama club to find someone, and at the suggestion of Satoshi Shinmura, they found someone from the school security department, and used the backup key to open the locked door of the drama club.

Inoue Chisuke sighed helplessly, picked up a pen to write and draw in the notebook, and said: "So there are four people who were found at the first scene, namely Mr. Satoshi Niimura, the two friends of the victim Ms. Nakajima, Sister Ueno, and the security team Mr. Ochi."

She looked at the fifth man sitting on the far side, and frowned, "What about you, what's your situation?"

"Hello, officer." The man on the far right stared at by Inoue Chizuru was slightly fat, not much taller than the Ueno sisters beside him.

He shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head subconsciously when he spoke, and the large whites of his eyes were exposed, giving people a feeling of unconfidence.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and introduced himself: "My surname is Chongkou, and I am a member of the Reasoning Club. Ah... The Reasoning Club is next door to the Drama Club, and I rushed over because I heard the screams. "

Chongkou pointed his thumb at the two shivering sisters who were embracing each other, and said, "I have a good relationship with these two classmates surnamed Ueno. I saw that they were very scared, so I stayed here to accompany them without authorization."

"If I interfere with the police officer's handling of the case, I will leave immediately." After finishing speaking, Chongkou stood up and bowed to Inoue Chizuru, and was about to turn around and leave.

Inoue Chisuke glanced at the Ueno sisters who were about to cry with tears hanging down their cheeks, and then looked at Chongkou who had stood up completely—by visual estimation, she was about 1.7 meters tall and slightly fat, which did not meet the physical characteristics of the owner of the footprints in the flower bed.

Inoue Chisuke sighed and said, "It's okay, just sit down, and I'll ask you something along the way."

"Since Mr. Okiguchi's reasoning club is next to the drama club, during the period from 9:00 on Saturday to the discovery of the body, were you in the reasoning club and did you notice anything unusual?"

Blinking and shaking his head: "Recently there are basketball and baseball games in school, and everyone went to watch the games this Saturday and weekend. During the period, I only went back to the club to get two mystery novels, and basically stayed on the field for the rest of the time. As for today... No, nothing unusual was found until the scream was heard."

"Hmm... what about Mr. Ochi from the Security Division?"

Chisuke Inoue thought for a while, skipped over the Ueno sisters sitting between Ochi and Okiguchi, and asked by name, "Did Ochi-san find anything unusual?"

Dachi, who was wearing a dark security uniform, did not expect that he would be called out suddenly. He was so frightened that his body bounced a certain distance from the chair like a spring that was pressed hard and then released.

Because of his reaction, the chair legs dragged back on the ground, making a harsh scratching sound.

Inoue Chisuke frowned: "Mr. Ochi, what's wrong?"

Dachi’s lips parted slightly, and he stared straight at Chiku Inoue with his eyes wide open. He bowed his waist and shrank his head: “Ah? No, no, I’m just... the first time I saw a dead body in a place other than TV, and I was a little scared .”

"That's it," Inoue Chizuki said without doubt, "How tall are you, Mr. Ochi?"

"1.8 meters two, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just didn't expect that Mr. Ochi, you look quite big, but you are so timid. You are a member of the school security department. How can you ensure the safety of the school like this?"

"You can't say that, if this is a thief or something, I will definitely rush up and push him to the ground. But for a dead person..."

As if recalling the scene when he met the dead Nakajima the moment he opened the door, Mr. Ochi, the security guard, shuddered, took a deep breath, rubbed the center of his brows, and closed his eyes forcefully.

Inoue Chisuke didn't want to embarrass Ochi too much, she just continued to ask: "You usually patrol the campus at night, have you found anything unusual these days?"

"No, nothing abnormal."

"Hmm..." Qianshu Inoue bit her pen, staring at Mr. Ochi unblinkingly with her emerald green eyes, until the other person lowered her head uneasily under her gaze, Qianshu then asked the next person.

"Ueno, you are twins, right? You have a good relationship with the victim, Nakajima. Did you notice anything unusual this weekend?"

Seeing the trembling state of the two Ueno sisters, Chizuka Inoue thought that she would get nothing - some people involved in the case would have a large blank in their brain memory due to extreme fear, confusion in memory and forgetting of key information.

As a result, the trembling girl who was hugged into a ball at first seemed to be beaten up after being called by Inoue Chizuru, and suddenly raised the volume and said loudly: "Yes! Nakajima must have been killed by the pen fairy." of!"

The other girl also stood up, clenched her fist and said with hatred: "That's right! It was the pen fairy who killed Nakajima!"

"...?"

Chizuka Inoue was stunned by the Ueno sisters' sudden standing up and bold speech. The corner of her mouth twitched. The scene of serious questioning suddenly became weird and awkward, and the air was filled with endless silence.

A strange suspect option appeared...

Although helpless, the questioning had to continue.Chizuka Inoue looked at the Nagano sisters with one hand resting on her chin: "So you guys played the pen fairy game secretly, right? When did anyone else participate besides the three of you?"

"Just us two sisters and Nakajima."

They played a so-called spirit game at 21:50 on Saturday in the deserted classroom on the top floor.

The classrooms with lights out were left with endless darkness, and the moonlight added a layer of ghastly paleness to the walls by the windows.

Three candles were lit, and the flickering candlelight elongated the figures of the Nagano sisters and Nakajima, and the yellow light from bottom to top made the faces of the three of them more hideous and terrifying.

"Do you really want to play?"

"We've reached this point, let's play."

So the three of them sat in the far corner of the unoccupied classroom, interlocking their fingers to form a triangle in the cool night wind, and the carbon pen was sandwiched between the three of them.

Sighing, Inoue Chisuke covered her forehead with her hand resting on her chin, a little dizzy: "So you think you have successfully invited the pen fairy, but at the stage when you were supposed to send the pen fairy, Ms. Nakajima just let go because she didn't believe in these things. Open the hand to forcibly interrupt the game?"

The two women on the opposite side pursed their lower lips tightly, nodding their heads like chickens pecking rice: "Yeah!"

"So Nakajima was possessed by an evil spirit because he offended the pen fairy."

"exactly!"

Inoue Chisuke closed her eyes, took a deep breath and then sighed slowly.

It's not that she hasn't dealt with the situation where the testimonial provider deeply believes in a certain religion, but even though they are all admitted to Mihua University, they kill ghosts one by one... The teaching quality of Mihua University is suddenly so worrying.

The Ueno sisters saw the helplessness of Chizuka Inoue, and they raised their voices to try to prove that they were right, repeatedly emphasizing: "Officer, what we said is true! Nakajima is straightforward, she has no enmity with anyone, and she is separated from us." There is always talking and laughing, absolutely impossible to commit suicide! So it must be the pen fairy who kills!"

"And, and the day we played with Pen Fairy, we could always feel the faint sight!"

Chizuka Inoue did not respond, and she has not disclosed the situation at the scene so far.Before getting her permission, members of her team would never disclose information related to the murder to unrelated non-police personnel.

So so far, the rumors on campus are biased towards Nakajima's suicide.

It is unavoidable that a person who cannot commit suicide suddenly hangs himself, and thinks in horror that all this is the murder of a pen fairy.What's more, the grandmother who brought up the two Nagano sisters has always believed in the local gods. Even if they don't believe in religion, they will be influenced by the grandmother to some extent, and have hesitation towards ghosts and gods.

Inoue Chizuru erected the hard-shell notebook and leaned back on the folding chair.She was helpless: "Since you are so afraid, how dare you agree to Nakajima's game request?"

"Because, because of curiosity, and Nakajima also begged us many times."

"Then," Qian Shu asked, "Where did you go after playing Bixian?"

"After playing Bixian that day, we separated under the teaching building. Nakajima made an appointment with his boyfriend, and we went back to the dormitory together. We never met again after that."

"About what time did you part?"

"I just checked the time, it's 10:30 in the evening."

"Nakajima never came back after she separated from you on Saturday night. Logically speaking, as friends, you should be very worried. Did you not try to contact her or find someone during this period?"

"We found it! Because Nakajima's boyfriend is from the astronomy department of the university next door, he would often pick up Nakajima when astronomical scenes appeared, and they would play for a day or two, so we didn't care at all."

"We sent a text message to Nakajima asking her where she was on the weekend, and she replied. It wasn't until this morning that she didn't come to class and the phone was turned off that we realized something was wrong after being reminded by Mr. Satoshi Niimura."

"Nakajima replied to you?"

Inoue Chisuke frowned: "Sorry, can you show me the communication between you and Nakajima?"

"Of course!"

Ueno sent Nakajima three messages over the weekend and responded at 13:40 on the weekend.That night, Ye Ye sent a message to Nakajima again, asking if the other party would come back to spend the night tonight, but did not get any reply.

她确实有在受害人中岛小姐的衣兜里发现她已经没电自动关机的手机，如果说中岛在周末的13:40给上野回复过消息，那她的死亡是按就可以缩短为周末14:40至周末23:00。

Chizuka Inoue squeezed her chin, and before the police officers of the team had time to summon the boyfriend, the boyfriend who heard the news of Nakajima's death had already hurriedly appeared at the scene.

"Officer Inoue, I brought you here."

"Okay, hard work."

Chizuka Inoue looked back and saw that the man with gold-rimmed eyes at the door looked very refined, and his fair face gave people the feeling of a creamy boy in a cartoon. , The thin wound has scabbed over.

There are many things that can leave such scratches on the face, such as bamboo sticks, one-piece eyebrow knives, and... sharp nails.

Nakajima's boyfriend had a thin layer of sweat on his head, and he was hunched over with his hands on his knees, panting for breath.

Hearing the sad news of Nakajima's death from a friend, he took a taxi and rushed to the drama club of Mihua University without even asking for leave, and was taken to a temporary interrogation room in the same building by the police officers at the door.

Inoue Chizuru looked thoughtfully at the panting man in front of her, and she asked, "How tall are you?"

"Ah? 179, what's wrong?"

The author says:

All the murder cases in "Color" will try to explain the case in the way of original reasoning.

However, there are not many main plots involved in this incident, and Baozi who is not interested can skip it directly.I will indicate in the summary which chapters are about the Mihua University murder case.

The following is the case information, interested friends can also participate in guessing w

[Currently known key information is as follows]:

1.受害人疑似死亡时间是周末13:40-23:00

2. There are footprints under the flower bed of the drama club, and the owner of the footprints is a male with a height of 175-185.It was left by the other party after jumping out the window from the drama club on the second floor.

3. Chukou is 170 tall, security guard Dachi is 182, and her boyfriend is 179.

4. Ms. Nakajima's nails showed signs of struggle but the residue was cleaned off.

5. The drama club key and mobile phone are in Nakajima's pocket.But the door is of the type that locks automatically when it is pulled up, so there is no murder in a secret room, but after the door is closed, the prisoner can no longer enter the room through the door.

(Of course I won't list all the information that has appeared, otherwise the difficulty of solving the case would be too simple, wouldn't it?)
