Chapter 1394 Mysterious Disappearance (This Meow Rolls Over on His Belly for Exercise)

The two missing students lived in the same room, and all dormitories here were double rooms. The petite girl took the spare key from the duty room and opened the door of their dormitory.

"So, they can't jump from here, right?"

"Of course, this is the top floor."

The petite girl answered helplessly.

"They are freshmen who have just enrolled, so they live on the top floor... To be honest, freshmen are indeed more difficult to discipline. It's not uncommon for some to feel that the dormitory rules are too rigid and want to go home or go out for a night out. So we didn't pay too much attention to it at first, but now it seems..."

Having said that, the petite girl waved her hand.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now. How do we investigate? Do you need my help?"

"Wait a moment."

Duanmu Huai looked around the clean and tidy room in front of him, then asked.

"Is this how they left?"

"I'm not sure, but the police searched this place when they came before, and then the students on this floor helped to tidy up the room again, so I think it should be different from when they left."

"oh……………"

They are just a bunch of little girls, and we don't expect them to have any idea of ​​protecting the scene.

Duanmu Huai raised his cell phone, pointed it at the room in front of him and pressed a button.

"Crack————!"

The next moment, a shining white light suddenly appeared, and without the petite girl noticing, Duanmu Huai had already scanned the entire room.

Then Duanmu Huai put away his phone and walked into the dormitory.

The dormitory is a double room, with two beds placed on the left and right sides of the wall, two desks in the middle, and bookcases next to the beds. According to the petite girl, this is the standard configuration of Qianyuan Dormitory. Basically, every room is arranged like this. There is only one bathroom, and the large bathroom is on the first floor, so there is no place to take a shower here.

The main reason is that this is an old building and it is impossible to renovate it on a large scale.

Of course, for modern people, it is basically convenient as there is electricity and internet here. However, some people do find it inconvenient.

Duanmu Huai walked into the room, then he reached out his hand, pressed it on the bookshelf next to him, and closed his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of Duanmu Huai began to rapidly reverse, flip, and change.

From the perspective of the bookshelf, Duanmu Huai could clearly see the situation in the entire room. Under his conscious control, the scene in front of him was like a video tape rewinding. Duanmu Huai saw police officers coming and going, students coming and going, and then... Pause! Play!

The scene changed, and the next moment Duanmu Huai's eyes changed again. In the room, several girls were chatting. They were wearing sailor suits, one had short hair and the other had long hair. The long-haired girl wore glasses and looked like a literary girl, while the short-haired girl looked like a member of a sports club.

They were doing homework with two other students in the dormitory. It didn't seem like anything special. Soon, it was lights-out time, and the lights in the room went out. The other two girls also said goodbye and left. After they left, the literature girl closed the door, and then came directly to the sports girl, turned on the flashlight on her phone, and looked at her excitedly.

Generally speaking, members of the sports club give people the impression of being more lively and outgoing, but here, in front of Duanmu Huai, it was the literary girl who seemed more excited.

"So, are you ready for action?"

"Are we really going to do this?"

The sports girl seemed a little uneasy.

"You know, if Master Wujian finds out, it will be terrible. He might even put me in solitary confinement! I heard from my senior that Master Wujian's punishment is terrible."

"What are you afraid of? This is the 21st century, not the Taisho era!"

On the contrary, the literary girl looked fearless. Duanmu Huai also noticed that she was holding a book in her arms - judging from its thickness and size, it should not be a textbook or a novel.

"Don't you want to think about it? The secret hidden in this school?"

"this……………"

The sports girl seemed to be persuaded by the literary girl. At their age, they are in their rebellious period, and perhaps that is why.

"Is it true that it won't be discovered?"

"Of course, I have already made an agreement with the seniors. We will disguise ourselves as the Royal Guards and go out on patrol. Then we just need to leave in the middle of the patrol, and the seniors will fill in our shoes on the way back."

"……………All right."

Perhaps the literary girl's convincing words touched the sports girl, who was silent for a moment and nodded. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the literary girl hurried forward to open the door, then shouted excitedly.

"senior!"

"Hush... Keep your voice down. Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Very good. Remember, do not be discovered by Master Wujian, otherwise even I can't save you."

Because the bookshelf was against the wall, Duanmu Huai could only see the opposite side and could not see the students standing outside the door on the side. The literary girl nodded, then pulled the sports girl out of the dormitory and closed the door.

This was the scene when they left the dormitory for the last time.

"Hey."

At this moment, the voice of the petite girl suddenly sounded, pulling Duanmu Huai back to consciousness. "What are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to be checked?"

"I'm thinking."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, pretending to be thinking, then he turned and looked at the petite girl.

"Let me ask, do you bring your personal guards to patrol every night?"

“Of course, after lights out, we will patrol the entire dorm to prevent any problems.”

"Will you go outside the dormitory building?"

"After the inspection, we will walk around the dormitory building and then go back to the room to rest."

"These two students are not from the Royal Guards, right?"

"Of course, unless they perform exceptionally well, we will not select freshmen to join the Guard. After all, we are also responsible for the security of Qianyuanliao, so students who join the Guard must at least have a certain level of martial arts skills to be recognized by us."

What kind of girls' school is this? You might as well change it to a martial arts school.

"So, if these two students disguise themselves as guards and sneak out, will others notice?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the petite girl was stunned for a moment.

"Everyone knows the members of the Royal Guard. If there are two unfamiliar faces, how could it be possible that... it's not right."

Having said that, the petite girl seemed to have thought of something.

"If it's Princess Satori's personal guards, then it's not impossible!"

"Satorii-hime?"

"Oh, that's the name of our Five Swords, although it may seem a little silly to you adults."

The petite girl also explained that this was basically how other students called them, and how they addressed each other, by taking a part of their own names and adding the title Ji (Princess).

For example, the two girls who tried to stop Duanmu Huai at the dormitory gate were named Guiwalun and Guihechengmali, so they were called Guiji and Heji. And this petite girl was called Hanajiu Warabi, also known as Warabi... Well, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, it was really childish for a group of students to call her that.

But considering that they are indeed at the age of middle school students... forget it, this is understandable.

If I mention this nickname in front of them again ten years later, I'm afraid these people will commit suicide on the spot out of shame.

As for the "Satorihime" mentioned by the petite girl, she is also one of the Five Swords, named Neme Satori. She also has her own personal guard "Masked Girls". According to the petite girl, these masked girls always appear with masks similar to the killer Jason, so even the other Five Swords don't know how many people there are in this personal guard, and who they are. It is even possible that their own personal guards are also members of Satorihime's personal guards.

After all, everyone in school wears uniforms. If you have an ordinary figure and wear a mask, who would know who you are?

"I see."

At this moment, the petite girl also understood what Duanmu Huai meant.

"If those two students put on masks and blended in with Princess Satori's guards to go out on patrol, then they could indeed leave the dormitory. But is that possible? Even if we can't tell who those masked girls are, the guards should be able to identify them."

Otherwise, anyone can pretend to be a guard by putting on a mask. Isn't that too outrageous?

"What if there is an insider among them? Wouldn't it be easy for them to impersonate him?"

"this……………"

  After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the petite girl was speechless for a moment. After all... this was really possible!

"What are you going to do next, Teacher Duanmu?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai, the petite girl's expression changed from nonchalant to serious. After all, the five swords had held many meetings to discuss how the two students escaped from their patrols. If it was the seniors, they might have found some loopholes. But those two were just freshmen who had just entered the school, and they were able to fool the five swords. It was really embarrassing.

As for the police, they didn't care about this at all, and just thought that the two students escaped from the dormitory when others were not paying attention. Everyone was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they themselves didn't know how to explain it.

The idea currently proposed by Duanmu Huai may seem outrageous at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it may be the most reasonable explanation.

So the little girl's attitude towards Duanmu Huai also changed. In addition, Duanmu Huai was also a famous detective. Now it seems... although this detective has a fierce face, he does have real skills.

"I need the people in charge of patrol that day to talk to me. Can you get them over here?"

"I'm afraid I can't, but you can go talk to Sasatori-hime."

"That's decided then. I'll investigate further."

Duanmu Huai nodded and walked directly to the dormitory door.

"Okay, let's go."

"that's it?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the petite girl was somewhat surprised. She originally thought that Duanmu Huai would turn the place upside down like the police. Unexpectedly, he just walked in and stood in front of the bookshelf for a while, and it ended like this?

Having said that, it seems that he did nothing, but he feels much better than those police officers. Is this the ability of a Yakuza detective?

"Yes, I will do some more research and leave that to you."

For Duanmu Huai, he now has the answer, as for the process...let others take care of it.
