"Sonoko! Why are you scaring me at this time?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect you to react so strongly." Suzuki Sonoko rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the light on the first floor and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why is there light in the mystery novel research club?"
Fujiwara Yu, who rushed to the first floor after hearing the news, stared speechlessly with his half-moon eyes, but after hearing Suzuki Sonoko's doubts, he gestured to the three of them to be quiet, and slowed down his pace as much as possible as he approached the door of the club room.
Then, Sakuragi Ruriko's voice was heard from inside. Those students who should have been in the guard room were actually gathered there. Fujiwara Yu looked at everyone with displeasure and said dissatisfiedly:

Fujiwara Yuu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Teitan High School was quite lively at night, and the group of suspects was gradually growing. He looked at Tachibana Ryozo with a stern face and instructed:
"Mr. Tachibana, please keep an eye on these students while I check on the second floor."
"Officer Takashi, what are you going to check? Did something happen?" asked Isamu Deba in confusion.
After Fujiwara Yuu recounted everything that had just happened to everyone, he kept observing their expressions. After not finding any flaws, he could only say:
