Extra Chapter 314.9 Footprints
After a while, Ijuin Ayano woke up from her somewhat obsessed look.

She looked away, showing a deeper expression of disgust: "Who wants to hug you?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I've been playing the role of a 'cheerful hot girl' lately, and I forgot for a moment that Ayano-chan definitely doesn't like this style." Fushimi Fushimi coughed deliberately, "Then let's try another style."

"——Start again." Fushimi Raimu paused, and suddenly his demeanor changed instantly.

She showed contempt and indifference in her eyes, stretched out her fingers to lift Ayano's chin, who couldn't react, and said in a lower voice and nonchalantly: "Although I actually don't care about it, I just remembered it. Let me tell you: I allow it, and you can."

"...How pitiful." Then the next moment, Laimeng showed a condescending and pitiful smile,

This scene caused a short-circuit in Tamaki Yumiko's brain, who was watching from the sidelines.

From her point of view, Ayano was indeed awakened suddenly.She suddenly let out a miserable scream, jumped back, and continued to scream, while waving her hands vigorously with a frightened face, as if to prevent Laimeng from approaching: "Ah——!!!"

Raimu deftly dodged Ayano's waving hand and burst into laughter.

... It seems that no matter how rustic the love words are or how awkward the performance is, as long as the appearance is in place, it will not be a problem, but will become "flavor".Tamaki Yumiko looked at this scene and thought helplessly.After all, she herself had palpitations just now.

But at this time, Raimu let Ayano go, turned around and walked towards Tamaki Yumiko.

Tamaki Yumiko suddenly became nervous and took several steps back.

But Fushimi Raimu just smiled at her as he passed by her, but did nothing and just walked into the monastery.

A few steps later, before Tamaki Yumiko thought of stopping her to ask questions, Laimeng stopped as if she had no idea.

"By the way, in addition to seeing you, I'm here because Master Yongzi has obtained new information and asked me to convey it directly to you... Let's go to the scene to talk." She turned back and explained.

Then, she dropped a mysterious smile and continued walking forward, quickly disappearing into the depths of the monastery.

...New information?Tamaki Yumiko and Yukinoshita Saya looked at each other and quickly followed.

Ijuin Ayano was still in shock and her cheeks were burning badly.She stood there, stroking her chest and taking several deep breaths before carefully following Yumiko Tamaki.

The four girls walked through the dark monastery and climbed the creaking wooden stairs.

The spiral staircase leading up to the bell tower was deep and deep, and the vertical gap between the two of them quickly developed.Tamaki Yumiko, who was walking in the middle of the group, calmly slowed down her pace, widening the distance from the two people above her, but getting closer to Ayano, who was walking at the end.

"Who is this Miss Fushimi Raimu...?" she asked in a low voice.

It had only been a few weeks since she came to Serenity Hall, and she hadn't made many friends yet, so she was still unfamiliar with this college.But judging from the conversation between Ayano and Fushimi Kurumu, this short-haired succubus lady must be a celebrity.

Ijuin Ayano raised her head and glanced at Raimu on the stairs above, and replied in a low voice: "The daughter of the palace minister of a certain Meishin Grand Shrine."

In the academy, "flower buds" like Ayano put the most emphasis on family background. When they mention a person, they often talk about their background first.This is actually not the first time Tamaki Yumiko has seen this style.

But this time, Ayano's answer itself still surprised Tamaki Yumiko: "So this is a...miko?"

Ayano rolled her eyes at her: "You should say -'religious person'."

"Ah, ordinary people like you probably think that so-called shrine maidens are female students who go to work in shrines?" She raised her head and whispered proudly, "But you don't understand. In fact, Shinto shrines with pure blood and long heritage are worthy of Compared to the royal family, he is the kind who is very popular in both political and business circles."

"In other words, very...noble?"

"Just talking about birth status, maybe." Ayano said casually, but immediately emphasized, "But you have to be careful about that woman, don't trust her!"

"why?"

Ijuin Ayano was silent for a moment, showing a slightly embarrassed and hateful expression: "Because she... is the most slutty person in the entire academy."

Then, as if she didn't want to say anything more, she took the initiative to take a few steps forward and distance herself from Tamaki Yumiko.

...Is this what Fushimi Raimu himself said before, the so-called "everyone's lover"?
While talking, the girls finally returned to the top of the bell tower.

But at the door of the bell room, Fushimi Raimu suddenly reached out and stopped everyone.

Then, she neither acted nor spoke, but just looked into the clock room, seemingly thoughtful.

Tamaki Yumiko was puzzled, but her eyes naturally passed Fushimi Raimu and looked into the clock room.

Above the head is a heavy copper bell, which seems to be weighing down heavily.Outside the arched window was a gloomy rain curtain, as if it was pressing down heavily.Under the pressure of the two, the bell room is obviously not crowded, and the arched windows are connected one after another, without blocking the outside world... However, at this moment, it seems that even the light does not want to shine in. The bell room Inside, it's just so gloomy that it's breathtaking.

Tamaki Yumiko's heart moved: she had never seen the bell room from this "all-in-one" perspective just now.

Therefore, maybe now she can see the scene she originally expected——

Then, she really saw it now - the dim light was scattered on the dust, and from the current angle, it looked like a layer of hazy silver sand.And on the silver sand, there are dense footprints all over the bell room.

Tamaki Yumiko exhaled, somewhat understanding why Fushimi came to dream about what he told them.

Fushimi Kurumu turned around, hugged his shoulders and smiled, his eyes swept over the faces of the three people in turn, and finally fell on Tamaki Yumiko's face.

"Yumiko, what are you thinking about?"

So Tamaki Yumiko answered honestly: "Footprints."

"...Footprints?" Fushimi Raimu's expression was a little subtle.

"Well, the ground of the clock room has been gathering dust for a long time. The murderer will definitely leave footprints." Yumiko raised her hand and pointed to the clock room.

Detective Yumiko has already thought of this problem.But so does Yoshiko Sato.So when Yumiko proposed to investigate the matter, Sato Yoshiko told them: Regarding this point, other professionals have been asked to analyze it.

Therefore, Tamaki Yumiko's investigation just now did not focus on the footprints, nor was she worried that her actions would damage the scene.Because she knew that she would be able to draw direct conclusions in this regard soon.

——Now it seems that this is the new information Sato Yoshiko asked Fushimi Kurumu to convey.

"Oh, footprints... they are really footprints." Fushimi Raimuya turned his head and looked at the footprints.

Then she continued smiling silently.

Yumiko didn't know what Miss Laimeng was thinking and didn't dare to ask, so she could only continue to wait.

After a while, Lai Meng spoke in a casual tone, "...that's right, you should have guessed what I'm going to tell you, it's these footprints."

"——These two fatal falls have not been disclosed to the public until now. Moreover, no police have been called."

"In the beginning, it was just because criminal cases would have a very bad social impact. This is true for both the school and the students themselves. Therefore, neither the school directors nor the parents of students with strong backgrounds wanted to This happens.”

"Then, when Ayano-chan told Yongzi about the 'Witch', the matter had to be handled secretly."

"...However, Rongzi didn't just block the news and did nothing else. She actually invited a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department through special channels to investigate the two people's deaths in the fall under the premise of confidentiality. An on-site investigation was conducted at the scene.”

"That is an absolute professional, a senior detective from the First Investigation Division... Just now, the detective finally sent the final version of the search report to Mr. Yongzi."

Finally, she pouted towards the clock room with a casual attitude: "...Well, Yumiko is right, it's about these footprints."

——In other words, has the identity of the murderer been locked from these footprints?Tamaki Yumiko became more and more expectant, and couldn't help waiting with bated breath.

But Fushimi Laimeng was trying to hide her secrets again.

She hugged her shoulders again, leaned against the door frame, stared at the footprints from a distance for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yumiko, have you ever felt that there are unusually many footprints?"

Tamaki Yumiko was stunned for a moment and turned to look again.

…After being reminded by Laimeng, she was startled by the denseness of these footprints.

And the next thought was: Strange, I didn’t seem to realize there were so many just now... was it because I didn’t pay attention?
Laimeng continued: "Mr. Detective's conclusion is -"

"There are no signs of struggle at the scene." She raised her chin and pointed to the clock room, "But as we can see - there are very, very many footprints. Probably, at least hundreds."

Tamaki Yumiko nodded.She scanned the traces and felt that they were similar.

Then Laimeng glanced at her, half-smiling: "Mr. Interpol further determined that these footprints belong to twenty... no, nearly thirty different people."

"How is this possible-" Tamaki Yumiko exclaimed.

Lai Meng took his time and added another sentence: "——But among them, there are only no footprints of the two deceased people."
