Alvin was lying on the bed, carefully studying the various cards stored in the warehouse. Tonight was the day when Miyano Shiho would talk to her sister. The contented girl fell asleep in the next room.
Still concerned about the serial arson, Artes appeared silently beside the pillow. He sat up cross-legged, and the elongated shadow in the moonlight just covered Alvin's face.
His lips were light and expressive, and the tone between opening and closing seemed slightly uplifted compared to Kelver's calm voice.
The fire-fighting equipment around the three of them was destroyed. The lock on the rooftop was broken and could not be opened once closed. The fire extinguisher placed near the courtyard was maliciously replaced, and the water pipes in the dormitory were not supplying water.
The crimes were committed approximately two weeks apart in time, so the murderer must have a certain level of professional knowledge, and is more likely to be a student.
His techniques were gradually becoming more sophisticated, and his attacks were becoming more and more daring. In the Carol case, the victim died in a deserted place, but in the remaining two cases, there were "audiences".
The murderer was showing off. Artes ruffled the ends of Alvin's hair, his dark green eyes half-closed, his lazy look like a cat. He was evolving. He longed for everyone to appreciate his work. He knew everything about the dead. He knew that Carol was an alcoholic, that Monty liked to have lunch, and that he was clear about the layout of Chaya's dormitory. He must have observed them for a long time and then invited people to come together to appreciate his work up close.
Artes grabbed Alvin's finger and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up Miyano Shiho next door. Although we don't know his criteria for choosing the dead, but...
"You must have seen him."
Among those panicked people, I saw that happy face.

"I'll take you to school," Alvin untied the apron around his waist, "but we might have to leave early. I have to go to the lab today."
Miyano Shiho quickened her pace and finished the breakfast in her hand. She had slept well, eaten well, and was in a good mood these days. The dark circles under her eyes had faded a lot. "Do you still need to be busy?"
"Well... the preliminary preparations are almost done," Alvin was speechless when he thought about the group of people staring at him in the laboratory. It was not his fault that they could not research it. It was enough that there was a seniority-based academic struggle in technology. "If we start, I may not be able to pick you up every day."
"It doesn't matter," Miyano Shiho turned her head away, and Alvin couldn't see her expression. "I'm alone anyway. Do you want to move to the experimental base?"
"No," Alvin leaned forward and reached out to touch the top of Miyano Shiho's head, "I won't move out. After all, I accepted the task of taking care of you, but..."
He continued speaking under the little girl's expectant gaze, "Do you mind having one more person, Shiho?"
An overly optimistic figure appeared in Alvin's mind, "Mescal said that I can take my brother over when the time comes. Although he is a little lively, he is not a bad boy."
Alvin held out his hand to Miyano Shiho again, "Do you want to live with us, Shiho?"
Miyano Shiho stared at his face for a while before lowering her head and placing her hand on his, her voice a little muffled.
"good."
