Return to the space on the second floor of the old teaching building and walk along the corridor inside.
After the abandoned classrooms were opened one by one, a strange smell suddenly attracted Fujiwara Yu's attention. He followed the smell and found that Makoto Makabe's body was hanging on the ceiling at the end of another corridor leading to the biology classroom.
Why would the missing body appear in such a place?
Fujiwara Yu noticed that the strange smell he smelled was caused by the victim's urinary incontinence. Although he had a severe obsession with mysophobia, he still focused on the case itself during the investigation. He put on gloves and carefully lowered Makabe Makoto who was hanging in the air.
There were two strangulation marks on the neck, which showed that the murderer had strangled the victim first and then faked it to look like hanging. However, the murderer did not do this to make it look like suicide, but deliberately wanted to show him the results of the crime.
Fujiwara Yuu closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen on the second floor of the teaching building. Why had the murderer gone to such great lengths? It was simply to create an alibi for himself. He hadn't moved the victim's body because he didn't have time.
The murderer did not expect that he would appear here tonight. According to the murderer's original plan, he probably used a sleight of hand to deceive the students and guards who saw this scene, thereby creating a perfect alibi. After the others were afraid and left, he moved the body to the biology classroom. If it was discovered the next day, there would be enough time to get rid of suspicion.
Oh, no wonder they went to great lengths to create some noise, trying to hinder my investigation on the second floor. After all, the later the body is discovered, the better it is for the murderer... The murderer is among those people, and it is a bit difficult to find out who it is.

Fujiwara Yu took out his cell phone. He originally didn't intend to disturb the detective on duty, but now that the victim's body had indeed been found in the school, he could only report it and continue with the work at hand.
"Hello, this is Takashi. A student's body was found in the old teaching building of Teitan High School. Um, please contact the victim's family and ask them to come and identify the body. The victim's name is Makoto Makabe."
After reporting the basic information, Fujiwara Yuu leaned over to search for Makabe Makoto's phone. Fortunately, the phone had not been taken away by the murderer, but was turned off. He turned the phone back on and searched the call log, confirming that the last call was indeed made to Sakuraju Ruriko, which also indirectly proved that Sakuraju was not lying.
Moreover, his suspects have never been the students gathered together. The person who inexplicably appeared in the old teaching building, Yuichiro Oda, is a major suspect. It seems that if he wants to advance the case, he can only focus on him.
Before going downstairs, Fujiwara Yu did not forget to extinguish the candles lit around the hexagram pattern. He did not want the dilapidated old teaching building to be burned down before the case was completed.
When he returned to the mystery fiction club's activity room, he noticed that everyone was gathered around their computers, looking as if they were pondering some age-old puzzle. Suzuki Sonoko, who had no interest in mystery fiction, even urged Maori Ran to take a photo and send it to Kudo Shinichi, but Ran refused, saying, "Shinichi should have fallen asleep."
"What are you looking at?" Fujiwara Yu walked forward and asked.
When Mao Lilan saw that Takashi Sosuke had returned, she pointed at the computer screen and said:
"Just now, Sakuragi-senpai found the USB drive that Makabe-senpai left behind, but when she opened it, there was only a confusing sentence inside. The sentence didn't make any sense at all, and I couldn't figure out what it was trying to convey."
"let me see."
The computer screen displays a piece of text that looks like it was typed randomly with the face pressed against the keyboard. It does look strange at first glance.
【After that, the body of love has the dark name of blood of the blood-sucking shellfish. 】
"Does Officer Takashi understand what this means?" asked Sakuragi Ruriko.
Fujiwara Yu narrowed his eyes, looked away, and shrugged calmly, indicating that he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. He changed the subject and looked at Ichiro Ichiro and asked:
"Mr. Deba, why are you at school? This isn't working hours, is it?"
"I'm here on duty. As I said just now, I'm grading papers in the office." Deba Yuichiro answered naturally.
"Oh, I see. Sorry I wasn't paying attention just now." Fujiwara Yu leaned on the desk with his arms folded across his chest. His gaze lingered on everyone's face for a while, but he didn't say anything. He was waiting for someone to speak first.
The first person to speak was Deba Yuichiro. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked:
"Um, Officer Takashi, how long are we going to be here? I'm going to go back and rest early after I finish grading the papers. I have classes tomorrow morning, and it's time to send these students home, otherwise their families will worry."
"I'm afraid I can't let you go, because you've been suspects since ten minutes ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of sirens was heard outside. It was obvious that the detective contacted by Fujiwara Yu had arrived at his position.
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened. She pointed her finger at herself and Xiaolan in surprise and said uncertainly:
"Wait a minute, Officer Takashi, you're not doubting Xiaolan and me, are you?"
"If he hasn't been ruled out as a suspect, he's definitely a suspect. Even if we know each other, we still have to go through the necessary procedures." Fujiwara Yu calmly played with the cigarette box in his hand. He wouldn't rule out the suspect just because he had a close relationship with him.
