"Hey, little Fujiwara, I'll hang out with you from now on, right?"
"ha?"
When Onizuka Yazo heard what Hagiwara Kenji said, he reached out and struck him on the back with a knife, accusing him:
"Don't be lazy, brat. Use your abilities and work with Fujiwara to solve this case. Humph, consider this your exam. If you can solve it successfully, you can be exempted from three days of academic studies."
"Is this true?" Hagiwara Kenji's eyes lit up. He really had no interest in academic subjects. If he could be exempted for three days, it would definitely be a win-win deal.
"Of course it's true, so cheer up and investigate the scene carefully!"
"How am I not serious?"
Hagiwara Kenji was just talking, he was absolutely 100% serious about the case. According to Fujiwara Yu's theory, the victim, Nakatani Shuhei, died of hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Besides continuing the scene investigation, they now had to wait for Sano Taichi to review the surveillance footage and narrow down the suspects.
"Hagiwara, look at this."
After hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help but look to the side and found that Fujiwara Yu took out a used syringe and unused toilet cleaner from the laundry basket. This made him a little confused. The murderer obviously had time to dispose of these things, so why did he leave them at the crime scene?
During the subsequent investigation, Hagiwara Kenji understood why the criminals were so bold. He picked up the pendant that had fallen in the corner of the bathroom, opened the round photo box, and found a photo of a family of three. The short-haired boy in the middle, making a scissors sign with his hands, was Taiichi Sano, the monitor of the Nakatani training ground.
Fujiwara Yu noticed Hagiwara squatting on the ground in a daze, and couldn't help but walk over and ask:
"How is it? Did you find anything?"
"Here, look."
Fujiwara Yu took the pendant and was a little surprised after seeing the photo inside, but he quickly reacted and gave his analysis:
"The lock of the pendant was not opened, and it would not normally fall off the body in such a situation."
"Well, I agree with you. The criminals may want to frame the suspicion on Taiichi Sano." Kenji Hagiwara agreed with Fujiwara's idea and nodded in agreement.
Onizuka Yazo stood aside, listening to the two's conversation, a proud expression on his face. As expected of a top student in his class, and even as a freshman at the police academy, he already had clear logical reasoning skills. He was truly a formidable young talent.
Just as the two were about to continue searching for useful clues at the scene, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the door. Before the people in the room could turn around, they felt something suddenly kneel on the ground and lie on top of the corpse.
"Xiu Ping-chan! Xiu Ping-chan! How could this happen? Xiu Ping-chan, wake up!"
Xiuping...chan?
Not only Onizuka Hachizo was surprised to hear this name, but Fujiwara Yu and Hagiwara Kenji also looked at each other with their eyes wide open. Why would this girl of the same age call Instructor Nakatani like this?
"As a police academy student, don't you know you can't just enter the scene casually? If you do that, I have the right to suspect you're trying to destroy the evidence on the body!" Onizuka Yazo said displeasedly as he pulled the girl up from her kneeling position. After escorting her outside, he said displeasedly, "Sano, are these three the suspects you found?"
Sano Taiichi was also a little confused by the address of "Shuhei-chan", but after hearing Instructor Onizuka's question, he nodded and replied:
"Yes, through surveillance investigation, within three hours after Instructor Nakatani returned to the dormitory, these three people were the only ones who entered and left this building."
Kenji Hagihara carefully observed the facial expressions of the three suspects. Aside from the sobbing girl, the other two wore expressions of disbelief. However, as he glanced downward, he noticed something odd.
One of them clenched his fists tightly and looked very angry. What was he angry about?
"All three of you please briefly introduce yourselves and tell us why you are here!" Onizuka Hachizo put his hands on his waist and acted like an instructor commanding his students. In his heart, he still didn't want to accept that the suspects were all freshmen at the police academy, but the facts told him that the murderer was hiding among these people in front of him.
The boy with a middle-parted hairstyle and a height of over 1.8 meters raised his hand first and said:
"Let me go first. My name is Kunimi Yusei. I'm here because Instructor Nakatani wanted to see me. Youxiang can testify for me on this matter."
"Well, what he said is true. It was Xiu... Instructor Nakatani who asked me to call Yousheng-kun here, saying that he had something important to say, but I never expected that something like this would happen... I... wuwuwu!" The girl burst into tears again as she spoke. It seems that she has a special relationship with Instructor Nakatani.
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows and found that the girl named Youxiang was not acting. Her sadness came from the heart, which means that there was indeed some kind of relationship between her and Instructor Nakatani.
"If you want to cry, wait and say your name first."
After hearing Fujiwara's tough question, Kenji Hagiwara covered his eyes helplessly, thinking that this kid really didn't know how to be gentle with women. Not only did he not comfort the girl when she was crying so sadly, but he also said such words.
Upon hearing this, Kunimi Yusei stepped forward and put his arm around his girlfriend, saying in a gentle tone:
"Her name is Nakajima Tomoka, and she's my girlfriend."
Girlfriend? Are these two actually boyfriend and girlfriend?
Kenji Hagiwara touched his chin and found it interesting. This means that the reason why he clenched his fist just now was probably related to Nakajima Tomoka's attitude towards the victim... that is, the so-called jealousy?
He couldn't help but look at the last guy with a crew cut who looked rather unhappy and asked:
