Chapter 32 Chapter 32 I am from the Zhaijia Society
128
[Uh... well, it feels like I'm being questioned by the police.]
The author's words in the barrage seem very lively. After all, since he took the initiative to send emotional consultation, he must not mind his affairs being made public to other strangers. As for whether the emotional anchor Platypus will believe it, according to his observation, Duck-Duck is a very powerful person. If there is any falsehood in it, he will ruthlessly expose the lies.
He feels like a detective from an old-fashioned story.
Shikano loves detective novels, and he knows there are still people working as detectives. However, he himself doesn't have much ability to investigate or solve cases. The only thing people talk about is probably his "intuition" for judging lies. If you meet him face to face, he can easily detect other people's lies. In fact, this makes him a little distressed, and it is also the reason why he decided to reject the two boys who confessed to him at the same time.
——When these two confessed their feelings, Shikano vaguely realized that they were lying.
And they are all lies.
So, he said this in the barrage:
I was originally planning to reject both of them because, as Yaya has probably noticed, I still have some debts, but I'll definitely pay them off if I work hard. Yaya, don't look at me like that, I'm quite capable. I can do basically anything except for criminal activities... but I'm getting off topic. However, when I rejected one of them for this reason, he asked me if I was rejecting him because the other guy had confessed to me. He said he didn't care.
The comments were silent for a moment, and then someone said something like:
I'm not here to break up this family, I'm here to join it?
[…You don’t care about that, why are you doing something so exciting? ]
Seeing that the painting was about to take a strange turn, Luye quickly set things right:
[Another person said something similar. He said he knew the other person had confessed to me, and he didn't care, but he wouldn't be so irresponsible with his own life. They were both lying to me... But I can only tell that they are lying. I have no idea what exactly they are lying about or how they are lying. So, please help me, please.]
"Why did you think of asking me for help?" Kamohashi Ron didn't look surprised, as if he already had the answer in his mind.
[Because Yaya gives me the feeling of a detective]
"You're really good at judging people." Isshiki Dudumaru muttered quietly at the door.
"Yes, that's all true. This author is really good at judging people," Kamohashi Ryouya said. "But even a detective needs clues to solve a problem. I'm a little curious about one thing... How did the two people you confessed to know that the other had confessed as well?"

Shikano was also taken aback by this question. Although one of them told him that they were actually friends, to be honest - if they were friends, why didn't they introduce him to each other? Because they had that kind of bad feeling when they first met, it was a bit regrettable. He was not actually the love at first sight faction.
Not sure.
Luye typed this sentence in the barrage.
One of them said they were friends, but if they were, why didn't they introduce me? I think we're pretty close... As for the other one, I don't think we're close. To be more specific, I don't even know who they are.
Kamonohashi Ron suddenly became quite interested: "I wonder who the other party is?"
[I can confirm that he's a good person... probably. After all, every time I see him, he wears a mask that hides his face. He says he doesn't want anyone to see his face. After all, what he does isn't exactly aboveboard.]
Kamohashi Ron was a little confused: "Is it like the phantom thieves in old-fashioned detective novels?"
"That's illegal, right? It's kind of like a school legend. There's a club in our school that "can solve all problems," and he's a member of it."
"Why does a club like this exist?!" Isshiki Todumaru couldn't help but complain, "I thought returning to the Home Club was the limit."
"I'm from the Zhaijia Society." Kamohashi Ron said casually.
"I'm not really talking about a club! And what's the difference between the Stay Home Club and the Go Home Community?"
"Don't the people in this club wear masks when they accept commissions or something like that?" Kamohashi Ron asked casually, and the barrage fell into a suspicious silence.
In the end, Shikano posted a barrage to confirm the matter.
【Yes. 】

It didn't sound like a proper club, but more like a secret meeting. Isshiki Todumaru kept his complaints in his heart and didn't say them out loud subconsciously.
"It's like a secret meeting."
Isshiki Totomaru: "Hey, did I just say something that was a complaint by accident again?"
"Hmm? No, Todu, you also think it looks like a secret meeting, right?" Kamohashi Ron smiled and continued, "Because it really does look like a secret meeting, wearing masks and looking like hidden agents... But I remember that some clubs in Japan require at least three people to form, right?"
[That club... gave me the impression it had quite a few people, but according to the school, there were only three people.]
"The feeling of so many people is probably just the same person wearing different masks, right?" Kamonohashi speculated. "After all, most people can't recognize someone just by changing their hairstyle, putting on some silly glasses, or wearing colored contact lenses."
Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "Maybe a criminal is pretending to be a student and attending class."
"...Why would a criminal pretend to be a student if they have nothing better to do?"
"Just a casual remark."
Kamonohashi continued to watch the reactions from the other side, and Shikano did think about this possibility for a moment, but his mind immediately went blank: "No, that can't be..."
[Yaya, I have some ideas, but, uh, it's a bit too fictional and dramatic. Anyone I tell them to will think it's a lie.]
"Who do you think I am, this author?" Kamohashi Ron slid back against the backrest of his chair. "If I thought what you said contained some fabricated elements, I would have pointed it out long ago."
[…That’s true.]
[I think the two people who confessed to me might be the same person! ]
131
Suddenly, the comments were all over the place. Amidst the barrage of true and false comments and a bunch of question marks, Kamonohashi Ron said bluntly: "You're quite impressive to even think of this possibility."
【Duck, don't you think I'm lying? 】
Luye felt vaguely uneasy. He knew, of course, that he was not lying, but this was not an unfounded speculation. However, he could not produce any evidence if asked.
"Now that you put it that way, all the doubts you've raised in your manuscript are explained." Kamohashi Ron said, "It's not that two people confessed to you, but that the person who confessed to you is the same person. Maybe if you agree to him, he will take off the mask."
[Is that so? Thanks, Yaya. I'll go ask him about it.]
"Question...?!" Isshiki Todumaru was a little surprised. "Do you really need to use such serious words?"
"For some people, feelings don't allow lies," Kamonohashi explained, "even if they're well-intentioned. But I'm not one of them."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because if they lie, they can't fool me at all. My precious brain isn't for show." Kamonohashi Ron continued, "Since there's no one who can't fool me... ah, no, there are people who can fool me, but they're still traveling around the world, so it doesn't matter."
"Is there anyone who can hide things from Lun?! I thought you were the best detective in the world."
"After all, it's pretty easy for parents to hide things from their children, I guess."
"So those two people are referring to your parents?!"

After the question marks in the barrage disappeared, everyone saw that the author who had been posting the barrage had gone offline.
[Offline, I really want to know the follow-up]
[Yaya is the type who doesn’t mind his lover lying because his lover can’t hide it from him]
[Should I say she is worthy of being called an emotional anchor? 】
Kamohashi Ron just felt something was wrong. At this time, his cell phone rang. It was a message from Oda.
"I read the information about my father's car accident, and it wasn't an accident. But the real culprit has never been caught. Or is it because there's not enough evidence and he hasn't been prosecuted?"
"This is information provided by the prosecutor in charge of the 'Blood Internship Case'. They weren't afraid of the M family to begin with."
"...So there's not enough evidence." Oda sent a message, "I remember my father has a school near where my car accident happened. The teacher there is very likely an eyewitness. Kamonobashi, you can go investigate."
"Rather than that, I'd like to ask something else first." Kamohashi Ron sent a message to Oda. "All the cases that Tiger Dan defends are more or less related to my father's fake death case. Are you also connected to that case?"
Oda: "..."
Oda: "It's not me, it's my father. If you want to know, Kamo no Hashi, I can give you all the information about the case. I think he is investigating that matter and wants to deal with all the people involved."
"Why aren't you dealt with?"
"I have something I can rely on," Oda said, "otherwise, Tiger Dan wouldn't have waited so long to act."
"Liar software?" asked Kamohashi Ron.
"You found it," Oda replied to Kamonohashi Jun. "But I don't know anything about programming, so I don't know what my father hid in there. But it seems that the M family really wants it... Actually, the high school near where my father had the car accident is the high school he graduated from. I think there might be some clues there."
"I'll investigate if I get a chance."
