Mogi, who was still struggling like a wounded animal in Yoruichi Toyama's arms, suddenly stopped.
She slowly raised her head, staring at Yoruichi Toyama with great confusion, trying to read the meaning of his words from his face.
The teeth that had been gripping Toyama Yoruichi's finger gradually loosened, and a sob escaped her throat.
Meanwhile, having received no response, Ghost City Bu Meng walked away grumbling.
Based on the building's unique elevation difference, she should walk from the classroom on the "2nd floor" to the stairwell, down to the "1st floor," and then circle back through the corridor.
She had no idea that she was only one step away from the restaurant and from death itself.
"Hey, Yuanshan, are you in there?"
A wise voice suddenly came from outside the toilet.
Is this guy just overly sensitive, or is he just used to being constantly watched...?
Yoruichi Toyama hurriedly withdrew her hand, first giving Mogi a wink, and whispered, "Cooperate with me."
Then he picked up the kitchen knife and threw it into the toilet tank.
Moegi realized what was happening, and nimbly tilted her body, falling to the ground.
At the same time, Yoruichi Toyama spoke up in a normal to slightly higher voice, "I'm here! Come in and lend a hand!"
When Akechi came in, he saw Yoruichi Toyama supporting Moegi who had fallen to the ground.
The girl seemed to have twisted her ankle after slipping and was crying in pain.
However, it doesn't look like the injury was too serious.
The three returned to the restaurant, and soon everyone arrived.
This included Ghost City Ayumu, whose complexion was rather unpleasant.
But when others asked, she would simply brush them off with "it was just some silly prank by nobody" and refuse to explain further.
Because most people were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and dinner was nothing more than a bland meal, the mealtime was rather boring.
Everyone quickly finished their meal and returned to their rooms.
Yoruichi Toyama, to complete the act, even called on Akechi to help Mogi to her room.
"So……"
Before Yoruichi Toyama could say anything, Mogi spoke first.
"Mr. Toyama, did you know about my plan beforehand?"
She was caught holding a kitchen knife at the scene of an impending murder, and she knew, of course, that there was no way to deny it.
The only surprising thing was that she said that to Mingzhi's face.
Seemingly sensing the crux of Yoruichi Toyama's doubts, Moegi smiled slightly, looking somewhat mischievous.
"Yes, I knew that long ago. Mr. Akechi is a very capable policeman."
Mingzhi's eyes flashed quickly, clearly remembering the mastermind behind it all.
There's nothing left to hide.
The three of them went into Moegi's room together and revealed their true intentions at the same time.
What Mogi is telling is the storyline that Yoruichi Toyama already knew.
She saw the video the director recorded before his death on his phone and concluded that Guicheng and others were responsible for his death, so she inquired everywhere about the schools these people attended.
He studied hard and got into the same university. He then joined the ruins exploration club under the pretext of being interested in adventure.
Her original plan was simply to take advantage of the three men's unpreparedness and stab them one by one.
But a chance encounter with a clown in the park changed her mind.
“The clown?” Wise asked.
I actually knew the answer was quite obvious.
"He's a clown who performs magic tricks for children," Meng Huang said.
The clown miraculously knew everything about Moegi, including her plan to kill someone for revenge.
But it provided her with a more "interesting" idea.
Not only can those people die in the ruins they so desperately want, but Mogi himself can also escape legal punishment.
The schoolhouse for the dead is the "stage" that the clown prepared for Moe Ginger.
“I have a question,” Yoruichi Toyama said.
"In the beginning, after you saw the video and identified those people, why didn't you call the police?"
"Aren't they stealing school property? There's video evidence; the police will arrest them, right?"
Meng Huang smiled at him.
"Mr. Toyama, how is your hand?" she asked, seemingly unrelated to the question. "I brought some of my usual medicine with me."
As she spoke, she took out some medicine from her luggage and carefully treated Yoruichi Toyama's bitten finger.
Yoruichi Toyama glanced at Akechi, who rolled his eyes at him.
“No need to explain,” said Akechi. “I’m already getting used to your style.”
"Has Mr. Toyama always been like this?" Moegi asked, her eyes lowered.
"You'd save people regardless of whether they're worth it or not?"
"You really... look a lot like Principal Hayasaka..."
She choked up again as she said her last words.
Yoruichi Toyama, who had been holding her breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though she still harbored resentment towards those people and even disagreed with the suggestion to "call the police."
However, her acceptance of Yoruichi Toyama meant she would no longer be able to carry out that "plan".
Otherwise, they wouldn't have revealed everything so easily.
Yoruichi Toyama smiled.
"If that's the case, may I say a few words on behalf of your Director Hayasaka?"
"...Moegi, go call the police!"
Meng Huang looked up in surprise and stared at him again.
Yuanshan Yeyi continued solemnly.
"Those people in the ghost town aren't saints either. They have the right not to lend a helping hand to those who are in dire straits."
"But they should pay the price for stealing school property."
"Meng Huang, please stand up for justice for me and for the school!"
