The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1082 The Hatred That Has Not Dissipated

Fujino was also helpless towards Sonoko.

This child is just like Sister Zhou. Even when she doesn’t talk, she’s still a good girl.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all his fantasies vanished.

After thinking for a while, he turned to her and asked, "Yuanzi, do you mean four consecutive days?"

"Yes."

Yuanzi nodded and said excitedly, "For four consecutive days, someone found the same four books!"

Fujino lowered his chin and asked in a low voice: "The library is locked at night. If you want to put these books in the library, you can only put them in the library at night, or before closing. The librarian should check the library when she leaves. Didn't she find those books at that time?"

Xiaolan explained at this time: "I heard her say that because those books are placed under the bookshelf or under the table, they can't be found at all if you don't check carefully."

Fujino paid attention to the key point: "Then the question is, since those books were all books that Hosaka had borrowed before his death, then the person who committed these pranks must have been someone who was very close to Hosaka two years ago."

"Hosaka has been dead for two years. If you were not close to Hosaka, you would not know that he would borrow these four books. At the same time, if you don't deliberately remember, most people will not remember what books someone who died two years ago often borrowed."

"From this point of view, a year ago, the third grade was still the second grade, and two years ago, the third grade was the first grade. Now, the former second and third grades have graduated and entered college. Naturally, it is impossible for them to go back to Teitan and make such a joke."

"Then the only ones who can be targeted are the third graders."

As he spoke, he chuckled: "Of course, this is not completely certain. It is not ruled out that he may have peeked at the librarian's registration card."

"As expected of a famous detective."

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at Fujino and could not help but nodded: "In just a few steps, you can actually screen out the person who will commit the crime..."

"Of course!"

When talking about how great Fujino was, even Sonoko couldn't help but feel proud: "Fujiano-senpai usually deals with murder cases, so a small matter like this is certainly not worth mentioning!"

Xiaolan also nodded in agreement and suggested, "The library cards are in the hands of the librarian. If you want to read them, you need to tell her. If someone has borrowed those library cards from her, she will definitely remember. We can ask her and we will know."

…………

"Electrical and telecommunications engineering, tropical rainforest destruction report, university system history, analysis of the sound of bedrock destruction..."

"There are very few rental records on the library card. Apart from Hosaka Hideaki, there are only some seniors who have graduated."

"Tang Ze from Class 3B?"

"Tang Ze-senpai has already graduated. Although he likes to play pranks, it shouldn't be him."

Everyone found the librarian, got the book rental card, and saw the rental records of the four books that Hosaka Hideaki had borrowed.

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at the rental cards in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "This way, this clue is broken. The librarian has no impression of anyone having seen these library cards. Could it be that she forgot?"

"That shouldn't happen. Usually, no one would borrow such unpopular books. If they were borrowed, it would definitely leave an impression." Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed her arms and then became confused again. "But why did that kid borrow these unpopular books?"

"That's because Hosaka has always wanted to be a manga artist."

Tsukamoto Kazumi explained: "He once said that if you want to draw an interesting story, you have to know things that other people don't know. Speaking of which, he does know a lot of knowledge that other people don't know."

Fujino expressed his understanding of the behavior of creators like this who frantically search for information.

Then he thought of something and asked Tsukamoto Susumi, "By the way, did all the classmates in our class know that Hosaka borrowed these four books?"

"Um……?"

Tsukamoto Susumi was stunned for a moment, thinking of how Fujino seemed to be unsociable back then and didn't know much about what was going on in the class.

So he recalled and explained: "I only knew about his borrowing of these four books after the rumor in the library came out. After all, Hosaka is very shy. He was too embarrassed to tell us what works he had when we asked him. He would only say that he would show us when he finished the paintings..."

“That makes perfect sense!”

At this time, Yuanzi suddenly spoke up, as if he had thought of some clue.

Xiaolan was puzzled: "Yuanzi, have you thought of anything?"

"Just think about it!"

Yuanzi excitedly said to her in a vivid voice, "Shy people like him are most likely to feel resentful. I think the table in the sports warehouse is attached with his resentment of being deprived of his dream, so he often sighs with regret, and then goes to the library in the middle of the night to fulfill his unfulfilled dream, reading the books he used to borrow with hatred according to the trajectory of his life!"

"If you think about it this way, then the rumor about the other person shedding cursed tears and soaking the floor under the stairs makes sense!"

Xiaolan was horrified when she heard this, and shouted at her in resentment: "Yuanzi, don't make up such scary things, it's really scary!"

"This is my reasoning!"

Fujino looked at the group of girlfriends singing the same tune in front of him and felt that what was going on...

I feel that Yuanzi is still as outrageous as ever, but there is a hint of rationality in the outrageousness.

It's quite suitable for writing a supernatural magazine.

Fujino felt that if this continued, some weird rumors would probably arise, so he changed the subject: "Since there are no other names on the rental card, and the librarian at the time has no impression of them, then the group that can be targeted is definitely the current third graders."

Tsukamoto Sumi agreed with this, but then she became confused: "The seniors back then have all graduated, and now only the third-year students are familiar with Hosaka. But why? Hosaka didn't offend anyone back then, so why are people playing pranks on him now..."

As she spoke, she sighed and clenched her fists. "No matter which damn guy played this prank for whatever purpose, don't let me find out who he is. If I catch him, I will definitely catch him and beat him up!"

"Xiaolan, you will help me too!"

"Uh... I don't think I need to do anything. A spinning kick from you will definitely kill that guy."

"Xiaolan, are you teasing me?"

"Absolutely not, because you can really do it, Senior."

"Well, I think we should keep our voices down."

"This seems to be a library..."

At this time, Aizawa Tomoaki, who had been squatting on the side, spoke weakly and looked around.

Several people followed his gaze, and saw the students who were studying around them. They all looked resentful at the people who were shouting and screaming in surprise.

…………

The noisy group was driven out of the library by the librarian, and then came to the cursed staircase.

"This is the cursed staircase!"

"I heard that some students found that the bottom of the stairs here is full of water... Students often slip and fall down here accidentally. This water must be the tears of regret that Hosaka Hideaki shed before his death!"

Sonoko continued to tell the story vividly, and seemed to be quite familiar with the rumors. Although Sonoko was not the culprit, Fujino seriously suspected that Sonoko had exaggerated the rumors.

"What tears of regret..."

Tsukamoto Kazumi looked at Sonoko speechlessly: "It is true that Hosaka fell from here, but I guess it was because the window above was not closed tightly that the rain from outside spilled in..."

"Come to think of it, the indoor shoes in our school aren't very slip-resistant. It's easy to fall if you step into rainwater."

Hiratsuka Shizuka echoed, and then revealed a resentful expression, gritted her teeth and said gloomily: "I have told the old principal about this matter several times, and every time he evaded me with insufficient funds!"

"Well now, another student has fallen down here."

"I really don't know what that old man was thinking. He had money to plant trees in the school, but he didn't have money to buy better indoor shoes for the students."

Fujino looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression, which looked like she wanted to beat up the principal, Lao Deng, and burst into gold coins, and smiled helplessly.

I can only say that all schools are like this.

Why use the money to build face-saving projects instead of building better student dormitories?

Then, he glanced at the stairs in front of him, and then at the floor in front of him: "However, if it is leaking, then most of the rainwater should be collected on the upper platform, and it should not reach the lower platform."

"But water can't just appear out of thin air."

Fujino stared at the fire extinguisher groove beside the stairs, stretched out his hand, took out the fire extinguisher, and looked inside: "There is a certain amount of space behind it. As long as ice cubes are placed in it, this effect can be achieved. There is also a layer of white wax on the wall, which seems to be to prevent exposure. Look, there is still water residue in it."

“That’s true!”

"In that case, this is also a prank?"

"But isn't this too much?"

"The water here caused several people to fall from the building!"

"The situation is really bad. If I find that guy, I will definitely ask the Dean to give him some punishment!"

As they were talking indignantly, the door of the art department was suddenly opened, and a boy with a middle-parted hairstyle and a square chin came out and shouted at them:

"Hey, you guys, be quiet!"

"You guys are making so much noise here that I can't even concentrate on my painting!"

“I still have to participate in the competition!”

"Ok?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka was in a bad mood with her fists clenched. She turned around and looked at the boy who suddenly shouted with narrowed eyes.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

The man was shocked by Hiratsuka Shizuka's aura. Although he was not a sophomore, he had heard of the name of the Iron Fist Saint.

He bowed and apologized in one go, then closed the door and returned to the art department.

"Um……?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the boy who suddenly showed his head and then suddenly closed the door. She tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what this kid was doing.

The others couldn't help but look at her, and silently sighed in their hearts: She is worthy of being the Iron Fist Saint, she killed the enemy in seconds with her momentum as soon as she showed her head.

"The rain seems to have stopped, and it seems to be getting dark soon. The supernatural incidents have been investigated almost completely. Why don't we go back today and come back tomorrow."

Xiaolan turned around and glanced out the window, but suddenly her body froze, her face changed, and she pointed out the window in a daze, "You...you guys, look, what is that outside the window..."

"That... seems to be the table and chairs in the sports warehouse just now?!"

"There seems to be something on top!"

…………

The desks from the gym warehouse were moved to the playground. On the desks, a piece of white paper was pressed down by a stone. On the white paper was written: [My hatred has not dissipated yet! ]

"What the hell is going on here..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at the blank paper and gritted her teeth: "That prankster is really getting more and more outrageous. If this continues, everyone in the school will know about it and cause panic."

Fujino's eyes were calm as he reasoned, "Every rumor was deliberately created by someone so that everyone knows about it. I think that was his purpose."

Shinide Tomoaki frowned: "But what is his purpose in doing this?"

"I don't know about that, but there must be a purpose, otherwise I wouldn't have written this text."

Fujino said, then turned to Niide Tomoaki and asked, "I remember you were the first one to arrive at the scene when Hosaka got into trouble, so what exactly happened?"

"I'm not sure about this either."

Tomoaki Niide recalled: "I just remember that when I was a basketball coach, I heard a student fall from the building. When I rushed to the scene, I saw the student from the art department and the plaster statue that smashed the student's head."

"It seems that the student from the art department fell down from the upper floor because of a slip, and then Hosaka was right below and was accidentally hit."

"I thought that saying that might cause trouble to the student, so I said he fell from the building."

Shizuka Hiratsuka expressed her understanding of Tomoaki Niide's approach.

After all, if word really got out that a student killed another student, I'm afraid everyone would start to make a fuss and say that the other student was the murderer.

She frowned and said, "If you say that, it means someone is deliberately bringing up what happened back then, thinking this case is actually a murder case. That would be troublesome..."

"Do not."

Fujino shook his head: "Rather than being a nuisance, it's more like locking onto a target."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned when she heard this, and asked him curiously, "What clues did you see?"

"It's better to say it's inference, or a reasonable guess."

Fujino thought for a moment and said, "The students involved in that incident have all graduated. Only the third-year students are still entangled with Hosaka. However, they have no reason to do so, and there is no need for them to create any supernatural rumors."

"Hosaka was quite popular in his class back then, and no one would do something like taking advantage of a dead person and profiting from his loss."

"Then here comes the strange question. Tsukamoto was extremely angry when he heard about Hosaka's story, but Seko, who is Hosaka's friend, was not angry. He even blamed Hosaka for the fact that he was pushed down from the building."

"By doing this, he is adding fuel to the supernatural rumors about Hosaka."

"I think the person who created these rumors is most likely him."
