Chapter 17841791 [Choices for Going to the Island]
Mulberrywood High School.
This school is located in a relatively remote area of Tokyo and does not cover a large area. There is also a simple area designated at the edge of the stadium for fencing.
Suzuki Sonoko stood on a high ground nearby, looking at the club members who were facing each other. Among them was a girl with low ponytails. Seeing her, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up and she waved at her: "Sister Eimi!"
Jiang Xia looked over and saw the girl turned around, took off her helmet, looked at him puzzledly, revealing a strange face.
Suzuki Sonoko froze: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
She pushed her two companions and ran away a little awkwardly.
The three of them quietly entered the school and came to the bottom of the activity building. Suzuki Sonoko sighed, "Sister Eimi can also fence, and she also likes to tie her hair into twin ponytails. I didn't expect that there are other people dressed the same way in the school..."
As he was talking, a voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Yuanzi?"
Jiang Xia looked up and saw a girl poking her head out from behind a window. The high school girl wore thick glasses, had bangs, and kept low ponytails. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary student in the background.
However, the next moment, the ordinary student became extraordinary - her body suddenly leaned back, and with a scream, she disappeared from the window, as if someone had grabbed her from behind and pulled her back into the house.
"puff--!!"
Conan was just drinking juice in a gloomy mood, and when he heard the scream, he was suddenly choked: What happened again? !
Jiang Xia's reaction this time was very detective. He quickly ran up to the activity building with Mao Li Ran to find the room where the girl was.
Suzuki Sonoko came to her senses in horror and hurried to follow, very worried about her friend upstairs who had been attacked by someone unknown.
But after running a few steps, she suddenly remembered something, gritted her teeth, turned around and picked up Conan, who was coughing and unable to straighten his back, while cursing: "Bad boy, I told you not to drink while walking, but you didn't listen... Hurry up! This school is very dangerous, we have to hurry to Jiang Xia and Xiaolan."
…
Mao Lilan rushed upstairs with a serious face, then stopped when she looked at the empty corridor: she was a little directionally challenged, and in her anxiety she only remembered the floor number and didn't figure out which room it was.
"This way." Jiang Xia pointed to one of the rooms and ran over with her.
When I got to the door, I saw that it seemed to be a club activity room, with a label "Vegas Club" on the door.
The door was wide open, and when I walked around I could see the girl with glasses lying by the window. Her glasses had fallen off, and one of her ponytails had been cut off, with her hair scattered on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Mao Lilan was shocked by the scene. She ran over to check the situation and instinctively answered her cell phone.
However, before calling the police, the girl seemed to have heard their movements and struggled to open her eyes.
"Eimi!" Suzuki Sonoko also came and carefully helped her up. "What happened just now?"
Chikada Eimi covered her head, as if in some pain: "I don't know either. Just now someone suddenly pulled my braid from behind and cut my hair off with a knife. I fell to the ground and felt a little dizzy. I didn't get up. I only heard the man running away quickly."
"How can there be such a person!" Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan couldn't understand it. "Even if it was a prank, this is too much!"
Although I was very angry about the murderer's behavior, this is a school after all. After school, there are many students around who stay behind to participate in club activities. Even if I chase them out, I can't quickly identify the suspect.
Jiang Xia then sat down opposite Chikata Eimi and asked like a detective: "Do you have any clues about the suspect who attacked you?"
Eimi Chikada was fixing her hair with pain, and when she heard this question, her fingers paused slightly.
Next to him, Conan's eyes suddenly became sharp: There is obviously another hidden story behind this!
Sure enough, Chikada Eimi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It may be because of the club I joined, the 'Vegas Club'. In fact, three days ago, one of my classmates found a lot of chili peppers in her cup when she was drinking water. Yesterday, another classmate of mine found a spider in her schoolbag. She is very afraid of this kind of insect... And these events were all predicted in advance."
As she spoke, Chikada Eimi stood up, took out some folded papers from the bookcase next to her, and handed them to Jiang Xia: "I didn't expect the detective to come to our school... These are the letters, take a look."
Jiang Xia spread out the papers on the table and found that the first one read:
[On July 8, MG will bear my wrath]
The second one reads:
[On July 10, CT will get his comeuppance]
The "MG" and "CT" on the two pieces of paper are the initials of the girl who drank a mouthful of chili water and the girl who had the spider stuffed into her mouth. The dates are exactly the dates when the two were deceived.
After reading the two previews, Jiang Xia handed them to Conan, who was standing on tiptoe anxiously, and then asked Konda Eimi: "Did you receive the same letter?"
Chikada Eimi nodded heavily, "You know the 'Juliet Club', right? It's in Verona, Italy, where people from all over the world can write to it for help. So I and a few classmates opened the 'Vegas Club' and set up a mailbox at the door of the activity room to accept help from female classmates. It was well received among classmates.
"The two previous letters were opened from the mailbox, and when we opened the mail this morning, we found a third threatening letter with the words 'July 11, sanctions against the EC' written on it - these are my initials, and the date is exactly today. I heard that Sonoko has seen a lot of cases and might be able to help me find the real culprit, so I wanted to ask her to come over for help, but she still couldn't make it in time..."
Mao Lilan looked at her hair which had become thinner and sighed with sympathy.
Suzuki Sonoko was very angry when she heard this: "They used pepper spray and spiders, and now they are even using a knife to cut a girl's hair. This is too much. Don't worry, I'll leave everything to..."
When she said this, she remembered that she was not actually very good at solving cases, and her tone became a little weak.
But after taking a look at Jiang Xia next to her, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly became full of energy again: "Leave everything to me, I will definitely help you find the mischievous bastard!" If I can't find it, I will go to Jiang Xia to find the answer...
Mao Lilan looked at Suzuki Sonoko, then at Chikada Eimi, and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Dragging someone down and cutting their hair is already considered an assault, right? Why don't we call the police?"
Her hand was still on the phone, tapping "1", some instinct stirring.
