The rooftop of Teitan High School is located on the top floor of the teaching building. It should be an area that students are prohibited from entering, but when the girl skillfully took out the rooftop key, Fujiwara Yu guessed that the girl must have copied the rooftop key in some way and used this place as her own secret base.
The school turned a blind eye, probably because the other party was the president of the mystery novel research society. As long as people who love mystery go to the rooftop to blow the wind and nothing happens, they will naturally not care.
Seeing that the girl still didn't reveal the clues to the seven curses after going up to the rooftop, the impatient Mashiba Kenzo put down the notebook in his hand with a slight dissatisfaction and frowned to remind her:
"Student, if you don't know about the seven curses, please don't waste our police time."
"Ah~ I'm just sorting out my thoughts. Can't you wait?" The girl smiled and tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear. After her gaze lingered on Takagi Sosuke for a moment, she suddenly introduced herself: "Officers, please allow me to introduce myself first. I'm Sakuragi Ruriko, the president of the Mystery Fiction Research Club, a third-year student."
Fujiwara Yuu always felt a little uncomfortable with the other party's inquiring gaze on him, and said indifferently:
"Sakura, please cooperate with the police. Now, can you tell us about the seven curses?"
[Due to the current environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanent Huanyuanapp app, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible.]
"Of course you can. The first curse is the sighing sound in the gymnasium warehouse. One rainy morning, the girls from the gymnastics team went to the warehouse for morning practice, but they heard crying in the warehouse, which was supposed to be empty."
After hearing several curses in a row, Kenzo Mashiba couldn't help yawning. He felt that these boring curses were probably made up by students in the school, just to see the timid classmates look scared.
Sakuragi Ruriko narrowed her eyes and looked at Takashi Sosuke, then took two steps closer with a meaningful expression:
"However, there's a saying in school that if you know all seven of the mysteries, you'll be killed by the 'After School Magician.' I just mentioned only six, and I don't even know the last one."
"Inspector Takashi, do you think someone was so bored that they wanted to know the last curse and wrote a threatening letter to the principal? High school students nowadays might really do such a thing." Kenzo Mashiba had a lack of interest on his face. He really couldn't muster any interest in such a case. Just listening to the content of these curses made him feel that his IQ was severely insulted.
Fujiwara Yuu didn't believe there were curses in this world. If there were, he was possessed by a curse called "Case." He put one hand in his pocket, maintaining a polite demeanor, and nodded to Sakuragi Ruriko, who provided the clue.
"These matters are indeed beyond the scope of our police investigation. Thank you for your cooperation, Sakura-san. Then we..."
"Wait a moment."
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Sakuragi Ruriko took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand to grab Takashi Sosuke's tie, but he easily dodged it. She didn't feel embarrassed when her little trick was seen through, but instead it aroused her interest:
"I wonder if Officer Takashi is interested in me? For a female like me, pursuing a superior male is perfectly natural. And when superior people combine with superior people, they can create even more superior humans, right?"
Fujiwara Yu almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face. He was so scared that he got goosebumps. He never thought that an adult would be molested by a minor who just turned 18.
Before he could open his mouth to refuse, Mashiba Kenzo stood between them, frowning and speaking in an unhappy tone:
"Please don't use such blunt language to harass me. We are here to investigate the case."
Kenzo Mashiba was also frightened by Sakuragi Ruriko's remarks. It was hard to imagine that such vicious words came out of the mouth of a high school girl. Even he, a married man, could hardly handle it.
"Hahaha, you're worthy of being called Liulizi. You won't be able to win the favor of the police by using such tough methods."
Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind. The man was wearing the blue uniform of Teitan High School, with slightly curly black hair and a pair of willow-shaped eyes that curved when he smiled. For some reason, I could see the arrogance in him at first sight.
Mashiba Kenzo stared at the male student in front of him for a while, and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized:
"Hmm? Are you the high school student who was in the newspaper a while ago? I think your name was... Masaga?"
"Officer, your memory doesn't seem to be very good." The curly-haired boy raised his chin proudly and introduced himself: "My name is Makoto Makabe. I believe you saw the page in the newspaper where I won the mystery award?"
"Oh, that's right, a genius high school mystery writer. I remember that's what the newspaper wrote at the time." Kenzo Mashiba didn't think the other party's attitude was that bad. Most geniuses always have arrogance, and he can understand that.
Besides, he is an adult. We can't have a big fight with him just because of a small attitude problem.
Fujiwara Yuu doesn't want to waste his time chatting with high school students. Special Investigation Team 7 still has a lot of things to do, such as investigating the case of Yamada Kimi. He has been looking through unsolved cold cases recently to see if there are any cases related to dolphins.
Of course, the conclusion is no.
Every time he recalled what Yamada Gongkei said before his death, he felt that all this was just the beginning - something else must happen, and it might even be related to the black goat masked man who kidnapped him that year.
