The sixth man of Conan's police academy

Chapter 241 The last straw that broke her

"Is... is she really dead?"

Ueda Masanobu couldn't believe that the arrogant Kawai Hideyo who always used him as an errand boy actually died like this.

"If you don't believe it, you can check your breathing, but I advise you not to do that." Ritsu Sasashima swept his indifferent eyes over the body and said slowly: "Be careful of getting the body odor."

After being silent for a long time, Ueda Masanobu finally opened his mouth to talk about the relationship between himself and the victim, and was not afraid of being regarded as a suspect.Rather than becoming a suspect, he was more afraid that Kawai Hideyo would come alive.

"Kawago Hideyo and I are classmates, and last summer we met her and..." Ueda Masanobu glanced at Nakamura Shunpei, who had his head lowered and said nothing, and mustered up the courage to say: "She and Nakamura-senpai don't like me, they hate me. I…"

Hearing his name in his mouth, Nakamura Shunpei suddenly raised his head and shouted dissatisfied: "I don't like you? Stop joking, why should I hate you when I have nothing to do! It's obvious that you like my girlfriend, so I hate you. Yes, why are you pretending to be such a good boy in front of the police?"

"I don't like your girlfriend! She made it all up, but you didn't even listen to my explanation and just beat me up!"

Ueda Masanobu was so anxious that his eyes were red. He recalled that nightmarish day, clenched his fists and told the truth: "Senior, you don't know anything at all! That day Kawai Hideyo asked me to cheat on her chemistry exam, just because I If you refuse this unreasonable request, she will fabricate the matter of me pursuing her, and you will be completely kept in the dark by Kawai!"

He lowered his head, his tone full of disgust for the victim, and gritted his teeth: "And I already have someone I like, but because of this incident... I couldn't muster the courage to say that I like her."

Nakamura Junpei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He obviously realized that he was being used.

"The girl you like is probably Saki Takahashi from the same class?"

Masanobu Ueda was surprised: "Officer, how did you know?"

"Your last sentence reminds me of Takahashi Saki who committed suicide during summer vacation."

"Yes, I like Takahashi-san very much." Speaking of the girl he liked, Masanobu Ueda scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Because she is really kind and cheerful, but such a good girl is..."

"Forced to death by Kawai Hideyo?" Kudo Shinichi said what he had not finished, and raised his eyebrows: "Teacher, it seems that we should conduct reasoning around Takahashi Saki. It is very likely that this case has something to do with her. related."

"Well, now we can only wait for Takagi to come back. I think he should bring us good clues." Ritsu Sasashima was not in a hurry. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, shook it, and said, "I'll go outside. Have a cigarette.”

Standing at the window and skillfully striking a match to light the cigarette in his mouth, Ritsu Sasashima put one hand in his pocket and looked towards the gate of Teitan High School. He saw Wataru Takagi driving his Nissan into the school. It seemed that the results of the investigation Already out.

I wanted to stand here and smoke, but unexpectedly there was an exclamation from downstairs.He looked down and saw the female high school students holding up their mobile phones to take pictures of themselves.

Thinking of the content on the school forum, I no longer feel like smoking.Today's high school students don't study hard, they just think about all kinds of things.

Ritsu Sasashima quickly retracted his gaze and stayed away from the window. Thinking of the words in the forum, he extinguished the two puffs of the cigarette and put it into a clean evidence bag. He walked towards the stairs and said impatiently: "Takagi , hurry up."

The echo startled Takagi Tsutomu, who had just stepped on the first step, and quickly went upstairs with the diary in his hand.

"Onizawa Police Department, the diary you asked me to find has been found!"

"Ah."

Takagi looked carefully at Onizawa's face, could it be that this case is very difficult?Why is the police department in such a bad mood?

Ritsu Sasashima lowered his head and flipped through the diary in his hand. The opening chapter was about his longing for high school life after graduating from the third grade of junior high school. Between the lines, it can be analyzed that Takahashi Saki is a girl with a cheerful personality and loves small animals.

The first half of the first half of the first year of high school went by in an ordinary way. The only thing that was useful to the case was the mention of Yuri Akitani - less than a month after school started, the two of them became friends and talked about everything. A good friend, there is even written here about Yuri Akiya having a crush on a senior on the second grade football team.

Senior football team.

Sasashima Ritsu glanced at the chemistry laboratory. Is this where the connection between Nakamura Shunpei and Takahashi Saki turns out to be?It was through Yuri Akiya that the two established a slight connection.

He continued to turn the page and looked back, and he understood the reason why Takahashi Saki was disliked by Kawai Hideyo - she was disliked because of Akitani Yuri.

This reminded him of his past, a past event that he didn't want to mention.

Ritsu Sasashima looked at the tear stains on the last few pages of the diary. It seemed that she had done this after reading the diary.

Knowing that the diary would end up in the hands of the police, why didn't she dispose of it cleanly?Are you prepared to be arrested already?
He closed the diary and looked at Takagi Wataru, saying solemnly: "Takagi, you can withdraw the team."

"Huh? But the police department..."

Gao Muwa was a little puzzled, did the police have no idea after reading the contents of the diary?You must know that he has read the content once.

Obviously, the girl named Yuri Akitani mentioned in the diary is very suspicious!

"I will ask the prisoner to surrender." Ritsu Sasashima looked down at the time displayed on his watch and said slowly after a long while: "Give her some time to finish her last few classes."

"Okay? Takagi."

It turns out that Onizawa Police Department already knows who the murderer is?

Takagi had no choice but to obey the arrangement and asked all the police officers on the scene to evacuate. At the same time, he also put the stinking body of Kawai Hideyo into a body bag and transported it away.

"Teacher, what are you?"

Ritsu Sasashima reached out and patted Kudo's shoulder and said, "Go back to class. I will take care of the rest."

"So the murderer is related to Takahashi-senpai, right?"

Sasashima Ritsu opened and closed his mouth. He looked helplessly at Kudo. This kid was really obsessed with the truth of the case.

"Yes, can you go to class now?"

"Is this the Qiugu mentioned in the diary?"

Upon hearing this, Sasashima Ritsu couldn't help but glared at Kudo Shinichi, and said helplessly: "Hiding behind me and secretly reading the contents of the diary? You are really good at it."

"Hey! Then the teacher will leave it to you, thank you for your hard work!"

"Go away."

He pretended to raise his foot and was about to kick him out. The big boy in the blue uniform smiled and ran away quickly. He trotted to the stairs without forgetting to turn around and make a cheering gesture.

Sasashima Ritsu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Am I the one who needs encouragement?

Naturally it is not necessary.
