Super power krypton gold [Comprehensive]
Chapter 45
Finally, let's review the truth about [Snow Girl].
At first, all of us thought that the "Yue Nu" in the ghost story was Kiriyama Natsuka herself, a girl who died innocently and was unwilling to die.
But if this is the case, there are too many unnatural discords in the case.
For example, in the group photo of the whole class, why did Xue Nu happen to stand in the same position as the Tongshan couple?
For example, why would someone use Xia Hua's missing cell phone to keep in touch with Shiina Xiaoxue in her name?
For another example, why is Xue Nu cleverly seizing the opportunity every time, sneaking into every perpetrator, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate against them?
At the end of all kinds of hard thinking and troubles, I came to a conclusion.
——[Snow Girl] is a human being living in this world.
Or, at least one living person is assisting her in her revenge.
What really convinced me was the communication record between Shiina Koxue and "Xia Hua".
Among the messy records, there was only one time when the sender who claimed to be "Natsuka" mentioned Sanjoin Shuhei, and said with some resentment:
"I do not understand.I've thought about it for many years, but I still can't figure it out. 』
『They obviously did something very egregious, why can they be easily forgiven just because they are still young?Just because they were teenagers, everyone blamed all the harm they caused on childishness, youth and recklessness, and then laughed it off? 』
"Why, they are naive, stupid, and ignorant, but they don't have to be punished appropriately, and in the end they can only let innocent victims bear the consequences? 』
——These words are exactly the same as the question Mrs. Kiriyama sent to me back then.
I can see that she's trying to play Xia Hwa perfectly.But for a long time, the pain and sorrow that had settled and fermented in her heart increased day by day due to nowhere to vent, and finally broke through the dam and turned into a mournful cry like a cuckoo crying blood.
Just because of her uncontrollable slip of the tongue, I have the iron evidence enough to lock the identity of Xue Nu.
It's not the resurrection of the dead, or the transformation of a ghost, but the "Wandering Blade" that has nowhere to fall and nowhere to return to in the void.
Of course, I wasn't happy at all.
……
"Ms. Tongshan, I won't delay your time too much. Just to close the case, I still have three questions to confirm with you."
I slowly took a deep breath to calm my mind, and looked up at the white woman in front of me—or, you can say that she is a "monster".
"First. The mobile phone that Xia Hua used before his death has never disappeared. It has always been in your hands. It was you who used this mobile phone to contact Shiina Xiaoxue. Right?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Kiriyama nodded kindly as if encouraging her bright children.
"I know you'll find out someday. You're smarter than I thought, though."
"why?"
I asked, but I already vaguely guessed the answer in my mind, "This will not help your revenge, but will increase the risk of exposure. If not, I would not be able to see through your identity so quickly."
"Xiaoxue..."
With a somewhat dreamy trance look, Mrs. Kiriyama looked up nostalgicly, looking past me to the vast and distant sky.
Perhaps, it is also a warm scene in the depths of her memory that will never return.
"That child has been to my house a few times, and I know her character very well. If Xiaoxue learns of Xia Hua's death, Xiaoxue will definitely blame herself, drop everything, and go back to Tokyo to find Sanjoin for her life."
Mrs. Tongshan retracted her gaze, and sorrow once again flooded her face like a tide.
"However, that's just hitting a rock with an egg. It doesn't make any sense to die in vain. Since I am determined to smash the rock, at least I want to choose to burn the jade and the stone."
"..."
"So, you have been in touch with Shiina Koxue for five years, creating the illusion that Xia Hua is still alive."
The Cave King crossed the window sill and stood firmly, calmly and naturally interjecting instead of me.At this moment, he didn't shout or laugh, his voice was as quiet as still water, with a kind of solemnity and solemnity like a priest praying.
"Everything you have done is to protect that girl, keep her away from the vortex of the storm, and live in safety."
"Yes."
Mrs. Tongshan nodded again in affirmation.
"Because I believe that this is also Xiahua's wish. Xiaoxue was her best friend during her lifetime, and she was also the girl she risked to protect. Xiahua is a victim, but she is a survivor. So... protecting her is quite important. To protect Xia Hua's wish. As long as Xiaoxue lives well, I don't think Xia Hua has left completely."
"........."
...ahhh.
The eye sockets were so hot, as if they were filled with hot magma.
If I shed tears in front of her at this moment, probably no one would think that I am sentimental, naive and cowardly.
Mrs. Tongshan, like her daughter, is such a generous and kind person, such a good person.
But why—why, did I have to stop her?
"second question."
I desperately stifled the surging emotions in my heart, and continued to speak in a calm tone:
"Your assistant... the 'accomplice' who provided you with information, created opportunities, and allowed you to avenge Sanjoin Shuhei and others is Daisuke Yamada, right?"
"..."
This time Mrs. Tongshan hesitated a little, but she still replied softly: "It should be. However, I only found out today..."
"now it's right."
I let out a long breath, "I have been unable to figure it out. If you and Yamada have cooperated for a long time, your reaction when you met him was too natural. No matter how you look at it, you are a stranger who has never met. In fact, for you , until today when Yamada climbed to the top of the building and distracted everyone's attention for you, he has always been a 'stranger', right?"
"What do you mean?"
Joan of Arc alter found herself being abandoned by the topic again, and frowned displeasedly.
"She doesn't know Yamada at all, how can Yamada help her? Could it be through anonymous phone calls..."
"Yes."
The Cave King answered, "Have you forgotten? Tongshan Xiahua has a mobile phone. It is not difficult to obtain a classmate's mobile phone number. Yamada only needs to send a text message to the mobile phone, and Xiahua's relatives will naturally receive it."
"So, that phone wasn't 'missing.'"
I nodded heavily, feeling like a heavy iron was tied around my neck, "It was Mrs. Tongshan who received a text message from Yamada and was determined to take revenge on her own, so she hid it secretly from her husband and everyone. .”
Perhaps, it was in the despair and grief after losing her beloved daughter that Mrs. Kiriyama awakened her supernatural power for the first time, and then attracted monsters, possessing the power enough to avenge Sanjoin.
"I don't know who sent the text message, but I know that he must be a good boy who sympathizes with Xia Hua and fights for her. He was the one who told me what happened to Xia Hua, and it was he who told me that the son of the Santiaoyuan family had How absurd and arrogant, how can I make him pay the price."
Like a child who was caught playing a prank, Mrs. Kiriyama put her hand on her cheek and chuckled slightly self-deprecatingly.
"You...is called Miss Yuki, right? It's a pity, I was stopped by you twice. No, plus this time, it should be three times. In the end, I couldn't even take a single person away, and I was still a mother who accomplished nothing. .”
"...No such thing. You have done enough for Xia Hua."
I gritted my teeth, and every time I uttered a word, it was like swallowing broken gall and blood: "The reason why your condition has not improved is also related to the use of supernatural powers?"
Thinking back now, the night she was attacked, she fainted abruptly, probably not because she was exhausted physically and mentally, but because——
"The true face of 'Snow Girl' is not a ghost, but the 'living soul' that you stripped from your body. Just like the six concubines in "The Tale of Genji", you can separate the soul from the body, and curse the resentment in your heart people."
It's just that Concubine Liutiao is out of deep and hopeless love and jealousy, while Mrs. Tongshan is out of love and sacrifice without asking for consequences and without asking for anything in return.
This is the truth that belongs to 【Snow Girl】.
After stripping off all the absurd or treacherous veils, what is left is a mother who resolutely embarked on a dead end and an infinitely sad truth.
"Finally, I have one more question to ask you."
I mulled over my words over and over again, and finally spoke bluntly:
"Mrs. Tongshan, why didn't you start your revenge until five years later, and pretended to be a ghost to warn them in advance?"
"..."
This time, Xue Nu really showed a relieved yet sad smile, like a white flower scattered in the dust.
"I should have told you this answer a long time ago."
"'My husband and I are law-abiding people', 'I told Xia Hua to be kind to others'. Very hypocritical? Even if I am determined to revenge, I don't want to abandon my past creed."
"I know that the law protects juveniles because they lack knowledge and experience, do not understand the seriousness of their behavior, and have the possibility to improve. The current tolerance and forgiveness are all for their future 'growth'. I respect the law , so I’m willing to wait. I waited five years, wondering if they would really learn from their past mistakes, humbly repent, and try to grow into better people.”
"If that is the case, then I will also respect the tolerance of the law."
"However, if they have no repentance at all, forget about Xia Hua's death, and just feel complacent about escaping punishment—"
Her tone changed, her tone was as cold as the sharp icicles hanging under the eaves in winter, shining a cold light above the heads of every passerby.
"——Then, even if the law forgives them, I will never forgive them. I will never, never forgive them!! Because I am Xia Hua's mother, I will always resent and curse those who killed her forever, curse them forever There is no peace, and my whole life is living in pain that is worse than death!!!”
"........."
At that moment, no matter whether it was humans, swords or heroic spirits, they were silent in front of the mother's heart-wrenching cry.
That silence is not sympathy, to be precise, it may be closer to a simple and simple respect.
In the end, the Cave King was the first to raise his hand and take off his top hat, proclaiming his respect indifferently.
"Dieuvous protège (God bless you), noble avenger. Although the feelings that drive you are hatred and curse, I still give you my blessing."
She deserves to be blessed, I think.
As a defender of the dignity of the law, I cannot satisfy Mrs. Kiriyama's only wish.I must trample on her determination and cry, and carry out my duties.
(But, at least, at least...)
"You already know my answer. I will let them be punished within the scope of the law, no more, no less."
(I hope my efforts can somewhat appease her never-ending sorrow.)
"Ms. Kiriyama——No, Kiriyama Hazuki. You are suspected of intentional injury and attempted murder. In the name of the investigator of the Secret Service, I want to arrest you here."
……
In the end, with a sad and beautiful smile, Yuki still said "thank you" to me.
"Thank you, Miss Yuki. Please apologize to my husband on my behalf. I have been hiding it from him and causing him to worry about my body."
"Actually, I can't do it well... I just hope to meet someone like you. If there was even one person who was willing to go all out to find out the truth and speak out for Xia Hua who died innocently, I wouldn't have come to this point. "
"It's a pity. It's a pity that there was no one except me and her father that year."
"There is no one..."
……
……
……
"...Is this the end?"

A few minutes later, the hospital corridor.
"Snow Girl" returned to the body of Mrs. Tongshan who was unconscious again. I left Yaoken to wait for her to wake up, and left the ward with heavy steps.
Joan of Arc, who was fully charged, had nowhere to use her strength, and felt a little lost: "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple. I should have thought that from the moment I found out that I was pursuing the old case, her will to revenge became weak. If Yamada didn't deliberately create an opportunity, she might not come to attack Sanjoin this time. After that Wait for the medicine seller to help her get rid of the monsters."
I paused for a moment, then changed the subject sharply:
"However, the case is not over yet. The 'Ability Predator'—that is, the culprit who prevented us from overturning Xia Hua's case, everything is not over until he is brought to justice."
"So, that guy is..."
"To sum up, alter dear, you and Enkidu go downstairs and wait together, Edmund and I will go to the rooftop to deal with Yamada."
"Huh? Why do you want me to go??"
"And all of you."
I turned to the other colleagues, and said with tongue-twister speed: "Please evacuate the onlookers at the bottom of the building immediately, and make sure everyone returns to the building within 15 minutes. Do you understand what I mean? And Mr. Gao Gong, Qing Guang and Let me use the bones, I need them to help evacuate together."
"I do not understand!!"
Although Gao Gong raised his voice and protested loudly, he was dragged away by his colleagues covering his mouth three times, five times, five times, and two times. While dragging him, he shouted "We just need to understand, wait until you figure it out, I'm afraid it won't be true." It's going to be ten years later."
"Okay, everyone listen to me."
After the others took their positions, I finally turned my head to look at the angry Jeanne Alter, "So so, so so..."
"You didn't say anything at all——!!!"
"Hahaha."
I laughed dryly three times, and stretched out my hand to pinch her cheek bravely: "Sure enough, when I'm depressed, I want to bully... ah, no, tease... It's not right, um, I want to caress alter and kiss. As long as I hear you If I complain, I can pull myself together."
"...Master. Do you think I'm a joke? If you dare to say 'yes', I will let you go to hell before the real murderer."
……
Molesting... Ah no, after caressing Jeanne Alter, I corrected my attitude and explained my plan and considerations to her in detail, and finally succeeded in persuading her to go downstairs to wait for orders.
As for Enkidu, he never questioned my orders from the start.This attitude of obeying the obligation of weapons is certainly reassuring, but it also makes me feel a little lonely.
After everything was arranged, the Cave King and I stepped up the stairs leading to the rooftop, and pushed open the creaking iron door.
"You're here, Miss Yuki."
As expected, Yamada standing on the edge of the roof was in a stable mood, and even had the strength to greet me:
"Sorry for causing you trouble."
"That's right!"
At the same time, Ms. Luo was so worried that she stamped her feet anxiously: "Brother Shantian, stop making trouble and come back soon!"
"Well, I won't make trouble."
Yamada's eyebrows were curved, and his smile was extremely gentle and doting.
"I was just impulsive just now, but now I have figured it out. Yuluo, I still want to live with you, how could I seek death?"
I squinted at him coldly:
"You and Mrs. Tongshan murdered her brother, do you still plan to be with her?"
"..."
Yamada was stunned for a moment, but then recovered his innocent and gentle look: "I don't understand what you are talking about..."
"That's right, since you have carefully concealed your identity, you will definitely not leave evidence. Mrs. Kiriyama is only guessing, 'The boy who pretended to jump off the building is a kind person who assisted me', and cannot clearly prove it. Congratulations, Yamada, you almost lost your life successfully."
"So I don't understand..."
"Oh, don't worry. I didn't intend to blame you for this. After all, Shuhei Sanjoin is indeed a fool. Although it is a bit insidious to kill with a knife, it is not incomprehensible."
I spread my hands to show that I was not hostile, and smiled at him kindly:
"But Yamada-kun, I still have some questions about this case. I wonder if you can answer them for me? It's just my reasoning, just listen to it."
Without waiting for him or Ms. Luo to answer, I immediately continued without hesitation:
"I heard that Xia Hua was bullied not only because she stood up to stop Sanjoin's nonsense, but also because there were rumors slandering her from the 'next class'. Yamada-kun, you seem to be in the next class. Have you heard anything?"
"This one……"
Yamada rolled his eyes thoughtfully, "Indeed, there were a lot of gossip at the time. Xia Hua was not very popular because she didn't fit in and made a splash."
"Is it possible to do this simply by simply 'not waiting to see'? Not at all. I think the reason why the other party framed Xia Hua must be to benefit from it."
"Benefit?"
"For example, 'Let her be the bullying target of Sanjoin, and I can be happy and relaxed'. This is the inspiration that Gao Gongjun provided me."
I still had a three-point smile on my face, but my tone of voice lowered one after another:
"For another example, indulge Santiaoyuan to do whatever she wants to her, and push him in the end, making him a criminal or even a murderer, and was kicked out of the house by the disheartened old man. In this way, only the heirs of the Santiaoyuan family are left. From Miss Luo, the 'someone' who wins Miss's favor will naturally be able to profit, and will not incur the resentment of Mrs. Santiaoyuan, and maybe they can get married smoothly. It's a perfect plan, isn't it?"
"It's a pity that the old man's heart is too soft, and this plan failed. So this time, 'someone' hopes to use Mrs. Tongshan's hand to remove the obstacle of Sanjoin once again."
"........."
In an instant, the gentle and harmless smile on Yamada's face disappeared, leaving only a blank space like a wooden sculpture and clay sculpture.
And I turned a blind eye to this, just talking to myself:
"This conjecture seems absurd, but it's not my whimsy. Shiina Xiaoxue told me that the one who gave her Amway to Santiaoin and caused her to be harassed seemed to be a dog around Santiaoin. If you want me to say that this dog has good taste It's also really mysterious, sometimes it's me, and sometimes it's the irritable house girl Xiaoxue, isn't this intentional to make things difficult for the young master, hoping that he will cause trouble?"
"No, I just..."
"Listen to me first. If you just spread rumors, you may not be able to precisely control the actions of Santiaoyuan. So I think this person must always be by Santiaoyuan's side to ensure that he hears and listens to rumors, and can make indirect remarks at the right time." , to induce him to bully without showing any trace. There don’t seem to be many people in the next class who have this kind of qualification.”
"Sister Qian?"
Miss You Luo was puzzled at first, but her face turned pale when she heard this: "Do you mean..."
I hardened my heart not to look at her: "Besides that, I still have a lot of doubts."
For example, why does the "Supernatural Predator" know our intelligence so well that he can deploy actions against Gao Gong and me?
——The answer is that he has been following the "big shots" who funded the Secret Service.
For example, why did we happen to be attacked that night, Yamada just happened to fall at the critical moment, just happened to protect Ms. Yura from Tristan, and just happened to avoid a fatal injury?
——The answer is that everything is self-directed and self-acted by him.
Only in this way can all the irrationality be explained, all the disjointed fragments fit together, and the outline of the truth can be redrawn.
but--
"At the end of the day, it's all just my reasoning. I can't convict anyone just by saying 'the class next door.'"
The moment I uttered this sigh, I saw clearly and unmistakably that Yamada raised the corners of his mouth slantingly, distorting it into a secretive, self-satisfied sneer.
"So, finally, I want to ask you."
I walked forward slowly, put my hand on his shoulder pretending to be affectionate, and put my ear close to his mouth:
"Why Kiriyama Xiahua?"
"..."
Yamada's breathing was slightly sluggish, but the sluggishness was fleeting, and he still smiled lightly in the blink of an eye:
"She said a word? 'Don't do this anymore'. She said this not only to Santiaoyuan, but also to that dog leg. 'Even if you are being bullied, you can't help him bully others.' If everyone is like this, there will be no way for good people to survive'."
"——Don't you think this sentence is very hypocritical, and it's very easy to stand up and talk without back pain? Obviously, she has never been bullied by others, and it is impossible for her to understand other people's difficulties and feelings."
"…………"
My eyes widened in disbelief, speechless for a moment:
"Just because of this?"
"That's why. In short, if you want to encourage Sanjoin to kill someone, then of course it's better to kill someone who makes you unhappy. Ah, but this is just my reasoning, it doesn't represent the truth, right?"
Yamada vividly imitated my tone, like an old friend who has been close to him for many years, and pushed my hand on his shoulder aside with his backhand.
"It's all just reasoning, Miss Yuki. You said that reasoning can't convict anyone."
"------"
He was right.
Even if I have grasped the identity of the real murderer in my imagination, as long as there is no evidence, I will be helpless against him, and I can only watch him walk away——
"———Fuck!!! I lied to you, you are a big idiot, fuck you!!!!"
In the next second, without giving him any time to think and react, I grabbed Yamada's collar, grabbed one of his arms, threw him off the guardrail with an overhand throw, and threw him straight towards the bottom of the building. go down.
"Sister Qian?!"
"Akane Yuki, you———?!!!"
However, Yamada did not crumble in front of me.
Just when he was about to fall to the ground, two black shadows suddenly appeared from the empty void, and at the same time reached out to catch his falling body.
And those two black shadows clearly had the outlines of Gao Wen and Yamato Shou'an.
"The bet won...!!"
At the moment of life and death, prior to all calculations and schemes, the instinct called "survival desire" came into play first.Regardless of Yamada's own will, his abilities will inevitably protect his life.
Daisuke Yamada has no flaws.That being the case, I can only create his flaws with my own hands.
I know that if he fails to use the ability in time, I will die together with him, completely ruining my life and future.
does it worth?not worth it.
stupid?Stupid.
However, I made a promise to Mrs. Kiriyama.
Since she can gamble her life for her daughter, then I, who has entrusted everything to her, should also gamble everything of myself, and I must not let the real culprit who the authorities have exhausted get away.
Fortunately, I did not misjudge Yamada's bottomless passion, which naturally includes "the desire to survive".
He is the one who wants to lead the supernatural army to do big things, how could he allow himself to die here?
"...you can't run away."
I hear my own voice.At first, it was just a whisper as thin as a gnat, and then it gradually increased, and finally broke out uncontrollably, turning into a trembling roar like a mountain whistling and a tsunami.
"You can't run!!! As long as I have breath, I won't let you go anywhere!!!!"
For summer flowers.
For Mrs. Tongshan.
For all the supernatural beings who are forced to separate from their partners.
"Enkidu, alter, I beg you as Master——as an investigator, catch him and make him pay for everything he has done!!!!"
At first, all of us thought that the "Yue Nu" in the ghost story was Kiriyama Natsuka herself, a girl who died innocently and was unwilling to die.
But if this is the case, there are too many unnatural discords in the case.
For example, in the group photo of the whole class, why did Xue Nu happen to stand in the same position as the Tongshan couple?
For example, why would someone use Xia Hua's missing cell phone to keep in touch with Shiina Xiaoxue in her name?
For another example, why is Xue Nu cleverly seizing the opportunity every time, sneaking into every perpetrator, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate against them?
At the end of all kinds of hard thinking and troubles, I came to a conclusion.

"Mrs. Tongshan, why didn't you start your revenge until five years later, and pretended to be a ghost to warn them in advance?"
"..."
This time, Xue Nu really showed a relieved yet sad smile, like a white flower scattered in the dust.
"I should have told you this answer a long time ago."
"'My husband and I are law-abiding people', 'I told Xia Hua to be kind to others'. Very hypocritical? Even if I am determined to revenge, I don't want to abandon my past creed."
"I know that the law protects juveniles because they lack knowledge and experience, do not understand the seriousness of their behavior, and have the possibility to improve. The current tolerance and forgiveness are all for their future 'growth'. I respect the law , so I’m willing to wait. I waited five years, wondering if they would really learn from their past mistakes, humbly repent, and try to grow into better people.”
"If that is the case, then I will also respect the tolerance of the law."
"However, if they have no repentance at all, forget about Xia Hua's death, and just feel complacent about escaping punishment—"
Her tone changed, her tone was as cold as the sharp icicles hanging under the eaves in winter, shining a cold light above the heads of every passerby.
"——Then, even if the law forgives them, I will never forgive them. I will never, never forgive them!! Because I am Xia Hua's mother, I will always resent and curse those who killed her forever, curse them forever There is no peace, and my whole life is living in pain that is worse than death!!!”
"........."
At that moment, no matter whether it was humans, swords or heroic spirits, they were silent in front of the mother's heart-wrenching cry.
That silence is not sympathy, to be precise, it may be closer to a simple and simple respect.
In the end, the Cave King was the first to raise his hand and take off his top hat, proclaiming his respect indifferently.
"Dieuvous protège (God bless you), noble avenger. Although the feelings that drive you are hatred and curse, I still give you my blessing."
She deserves to be blessed, I think.
As a defender of the dignity of the law, I cannot satisfy Mrs. Kiriyama's only wish.I must trample on her determination and cry, and carry out my duties.
(But, at least, at least...)
"You already know my answer. I will let them be punished within the scope of the law, no more, no less."
(I hope my efforts can somewhat appease her never-ending sorrow.)
"Ms. Kiriyama——No, Kiriyama Hazuki. You are suspected of intentional injury and attempted murder. In the name of the investigator of the Secret Service, I want to arrest you here."
……
In the end, with a sad and beautiful smile, Yuki still said "thank you" to me.
"Thank you, Miss Yuki. Please apologize to my husband on my behalf. I have been hiding it from him and causing him to worry about my body."
"Actually, I can't do it well... I just hope to meet someone like you. If there was even one person who was willing to go all out to find out the truth and speak out for Xia Hua who died innocently, I wouldn't have come to this point. "
"It's a pity. It's a pity that there was no one except me and her father that year."
"There is no one..."
……
……
……
"...Is this the end?"

A few minutes later, the hospital corridor.
"Snow Girl" returned to the body of Mrs. Tongshan who was unconscious again. I left Yaoken to wait for her to wake up, and left the ward with heavy steps.
Joan of Arc, who was fully charged, had nowhere to use her strength, and felt a little lost: "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple. I should have thought that from the moment I found out that I was pursuing the old case, her will to revenge became weak. If Yamada didn't deliberately create an opportunity, she might not come to attack Sanjoin this time. After that Wait for the medicine seller to help her get rid of the monsters."
I paused for a moment, then changed the subject sharply:
"However, the case is not over yet. The 'Ability Predator'—that is, the culprit who prevented us from overturning Xia Hua's case, everything is not over until he is brought to justice."
"So, that guy is..."
"To sum up, alter dear, you and Enkidu go downstairs and wait together, Edmund and I will go to the rooftop to deal with Yamada."
"Huh? Why do you want me to go??"
"And all of you."
I turned to the other colleagues, and said with tongue-twister speed: "Please evacuate the onlookers at the bottom of the building immediately, and make sure everyone returns to the building within 15 minutes. Do you understand what I mean? And Mr. Gao Gong, Qing Guang and Let me use the bones, I need them to help evacuate together."
"I do not understand!!"
Although Gao Gong raised his voice and protested loudly, he was dragged away by his colleagues covering his mouth three times, five times, five times, and two times. While dragging him, he shouted "We just need to understand, wait until you figure it out, I'm afraid it won't be true." It's going to be ten years later."
"Okay, everyone listen to me."
After the others took their positions, I finally turned my head to look at the angry Jeanne Alter, "So so, so so..."
"You didn't say anything at all——!!!"
"Hahaha."
I laughed dryly three times, and stretched out my hand to pinch her cheek bravely: "Sure enough, when I'm depressed, I want to bully... ah, no, tease... It's not right, um, I want to caress alter and kiss. As long as I hear you If I complain, I can pull myself together."
"...Master. Do you think I'm a joke? If you dare to say 'yes', I will let you go to hell before the real murderer."
……
Molesting... Ah no, after caressing Jeanne Alter, I corrected my attitude and explained my plan and considerations to her in detail, and finally succeeded in persuading her to go downstairs to wait for orders.
As for Enkidu, he never questioned my orders from the start.This attitude of obeying the obligation of weapons is certainly reassuring, but it also makes me feel a little lonely.
After everything was arranged, the Cave King and I stepped up the stairs leading to the rooftop, and pushed open the creaking iron door.
"You're here, Miss Yuki."
As expected, Yamada standing on the edge of the roof was in a stable mood, and even had the strength to greet me:
"Sorry for causing you trouble."
"That's right!"
At the same time, Ms. Luo was so worried that she stamped her feet anxiously: "Brother Shantian, stop making trouble and come back soon!"
"Well, I won't make trouble."
Yamada's eyebrows were curved, and his smile was extremely gentle and doting.
"I was just impulsive just now, but now I have figured it out. Yuluo, I still want to live with you, how could I seek death?"
I squinted at him coldly:
"You and Mrs. Tongshan murdered her brother, do you still plan to be with her?"
"..."
Yamada was stunned for a moment, but then recovered his innocent and gentle look: "I don't understand what you are talking about..."
"That's right, since you have carefully concealed your identity, you will definitely not leave evidence. Mrs. Kiriyama is only guessing, 'The boy who pretended to jump off the building is a kind person who assisted me', and cannot clearly prove it. Congratulations, Yamada, you almost lost your life successfully."
"So I don't understand..."
"Oh, don't worry. I didn't intend to blame you for this. After all, Shuhei Sanjoin is indeed a fool. Although it is a bit insidious to kill with a knife, it is not incomprehensible."
I spread my hands to show that I was not hostile, and smiled at him kindly:
"But Yamada-kun, I still have some questions about this case. I wonder if you can answer them for me? It's just my reasoning, just listen to it."
Without waiting for him or Ms. Luo to answer, I immediately continued without hesitation:
"I heard that Xia Hua was bullied not only because she stood up to stop Sanjoin's nonsense, but also because there were rumors slandering her from the 'next class'. Yamada-kun, you seem to be in the next class. Have you heard anything?"
"This one……"
Yamada rolled his eyes thoughtfully, "Indeed, there were a lot of gossip at the time. Xia Hua was not very popular because she didn't fit in and made a splash."
"Is it possible to do this simply by simply 'not waiting to see'? Not at all. I think the reason why the other party framed Xia Hua must be to benefit from it."
"Benefit?"
"For example, 'Let her be the bullying target of Sanjoin, and I can be happy and relaxed'. This is the inspiration that Gao Gongjun provided me."
I still had a three-point smile on my face, but my tone of voice lowered one after another:
"For another example, indulge Santiaoyuan to do whatever she wants to her, and push him in the end, making him a criminal or even a murderer, and was kicked out of the house by the disheartened old man. In this way, only the heirs of the Santiaoyuan family are left. From Miss Luo, the 'someone' who wins Miss's favor will naturally be able to profit, and will not incur the resentment of Mrs. Santiaoyuan, and maybe they can get married smoothly. It's a perfect plan, isn't it?"
"It's a pity that the old man's heart is too soft, and this plan failed. So this time, 'someone' hopes to use Mrs. Tongshan's hand to remove the obstacle of Sanjoin once again."
"........."
In an instant, the gentle and harmless smile on Yamada's face disappeared, leaving only a blank space like a wooden sculpture and clay sculpture.
And I turned a blind eye to this, just talking to myself:
"This conjecture seems absurd, but it's not my whimsy. Shiina Xiaoxue told me that the one who gave her Amway to Santiaoin and caused her to be harassed seemed to be a dog around Santiaoin. If you want me to say that this dog has good taste It's also really mysterious, sometimes it's me, and sometimes it's the irritable house girl Xiaoxue, isn't this intentional to make things difficult for the young master, hoping that he will cause trouble?"
"No, I just..."
"Listen to me first. If you just spread rumors, you may not be able to precisely control the actions of Santiaoyuan. So I think this person must always be by Santiaoyuan's side to ensure that he hears and listens to rumors, and can make indirect remarks at the right time." , to induce him to bully without showing any trace. There don’t seem to be many people in the next class who have this kind of qualification.”
"Sister Qian?"
Miss You Luo was puzzled at first, but her face turned pale when she heard this: "Do you mean..."
I hardened my heart not to look at her: "Besides that, I still have a lot of doubts."
For example, why does the "Supernatural Predator" know our intelligence so well that he can deploy actions against Gao Gong and me?
——The answer is that he has been following the "big shots" who funded the Secret Service.
For example, why did we happen to be attacked that night, Yamada just happened to fall at the critical moment, just happened to protect Ms. Yura from Tristan, and just happened to avoid a fatal injury?
——The answer is that everything is self-directed and self-acted by him.
Only in this way can all the irrationality be explained, all the disjointed fragments fit together, and the outline of the truth can be redrawn.
but--
"At the end of the day, it's all just my reasoning. I can't convict anyone just by saying 'the class next door.'"
The moment I uttered this sigh, I saw clearly and unmistakably that Yamada raised the corners of his mouth slantingly, distorting it into a secretive, self-satisfied sneer.
"So, finally, I want to ask you."
I walked forward slowly, put my hand on his shoulder pretending to be affectionate, and put my ear close to his mouth:
"Why Kiriyama Xiahua?"
"..."
Yamada's breathing was slightly sluggish, but the sluggishness was fleeting, and he still smiled lightly in the blink of an eye:
"She said a word? 'Don't do this anymore'. She said this not only to Santiaoyuan, but also to that dog leg. 'Even if you are being bullied, you can't help him bully others.' If everyone is like this, there will be no way for good people to survive'."
"——Don't you think this sentence is very hypocritical, and it's very easy to stand up and talk without back pain? Obviously, she has never been bullied by others, and it is impossible for her to understand other people's difficulties and feelings."
"…………"
My eyes widened in disbelief, speechless for a moment:
"Just because of this?"
"That's why. In short, if you want to encourage Sanjoin to kill someone, then of course it's better to kill someone who makes you unhappy. Ah, but this is just my reasoning, it doesn't represent the truth, right?"
Yamada vividly imitated my tone, like an old friend who has been close to him for many years, and pushed my hand on his shoulder aside with his backhand.
"It's all just reasoning, Miss Yuki. You said that reasoning can't convict anyone."
"------"
He was right.
Even if I have grasped the identity of the real murderer in my imagination, as long as there is no evidence, I will be helpless against him, and I can only watch him walk away——
"———Fuck!!! I lied to you, you are a big idiot, fuck you!!!!"
In the next second, without giving him any time to think and react, I grabbed Yamada's collar, grabbed one of his arms, threw him off the guardrail with an overhand throw, and threw him straight towards the bottom of the building. go down.
"Sister Qian?!"
"Akane Yuki, you———?!!!"
However, Yamada did not crumble in front of me.
Just when he was about to fall to the ground, two black shadows suddenly appeared from the empty void, and at the same time reached out to catch his falling body.
And those two black shadows clearly had the outlines of Gao Wen and Yamato Shou'an.
"The bet won...!!"
At the moment of life and death, prior to all calculations and schemes, the instinct called "survival desire" came into play first.Regardless of Yamada's own will, his abilities will inevitably protect his life.
Daisuke Yamada has no flaws.That being the case, I can only create his flaws with my own hands.
I know that if he fails to use the ability in time, I will die together with him, completely ruining my life and future.
does it worth?not worth it.
stupid?Stupid.
However, I made a promise to Mrs. Kiriyama.
Since she can gamble her life for her daughter, then I, who has entrusted everything to her, should also gamble everything of myself, and I must not let the real culprit who the authorities have exhausted get away.
Fortunately, I did not misjudge Yamada's bottomless passion, which naturally includes "the desire to survive".
He is the one who wants to lead the supernatural army to do big things, how could he allow himself to die here?
"...you can't run away."
I hear my own voice.At first, it was just a whisper as thin as a gnat, and then it gradually increased, and finally broke out uncontrollably, turning into a trembling roar like a mountain whistling and a tsunami.
"You can't run!!! As long as I have breath, I won't let you go anywhere!!!!"
For summer flowers.
For Mrs. Tongshan.
For all the supernatural beings who are forced to separate from their partners.
"Enkidu, alter, I beg you as Master——as an investigator, catch him and make him pay for everything he has done!!!!"
