Reasoning Notes

Chapter 298 Reasoning Notes 6: The Criminologist Showdown (51)
"Quick! Let's go find her!" Mikaka said anxiously.If something happens to his cousin, he will bear the blame.After all, he promised his aunt to protect his cousin.What's more, her button was given to him for safekeeping, but it disappeared.

Li Xiaochong quickly called out all the other people in the dormitory.At this time, there is no need to take care of surveillance, and more people must be allocated to find Xiao Xiwei.

Mikaka immediately divided the people into three groups, and searched the teaching building together, the laboratory building together, and the campus all the way.Everyone is happy to help, and they set off with flashlights.

The call echoed in the night.Xiao Xiwei, who was hiding under the podium, listened to the shouts floating around, and the original despair was replaced by the joy of being rescued.

"I'm here..." She just wanted to shout "I'm here", but at that moment, a pair of feet appeared in front of the podium without a sound.

She raised her head slowly...

Mi Kaka and Li Xiaochong searched everywhere.Playground, gymnasium, school road, don't miss a grass and corner.Just as they returned to the downstairs of the teaching building, a harsh siren suddenly sounded on the campus.

Isn't that exactly...

Mikaka looked up reflexively.On the "death notification screen" embedded on the outer wall, a familiar name slowly pulled out from the pale screen light. The word "Xiao Xiwei" has a red cross, which seems to indicate the end of a life.

At the same time, Wu Sihan, the three girls in charge of the teaching building, found something and shouted in the corridor: "Over here! Come here!"

Their voices conveyed endless fear and despair in the night wind.Mikaka was immediately overwhelmed by the ominous premonition that flooded into her heart like a tide.He hurried to the third floor of the teaching building with Li Xiaochong.Two boys, Zhang Yu and Ma Yejie, also rushed over from the laboratory building.Everyone gathered at the door of a certain class at the higher level.

The lights were on in that classroom, and the bright light that shone through seemed like a blinding patch in the night.

Wu Sihan and the others stood at the door, turning sideways, not daring to look inside.Mikaka's heart seemed to be tied to a big rock, sinking deeper and deeper into the bottom of the well.His hand was pressed against the cold armrest of the wheelchair, and the chill flowed down the palm lines and penetrated into his heart.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.So thick, so strong.

What Mikaka least wanted to see happened.

The girl's body was lying there, with her big eyes wide open, the blood flowed out from her skin, still fresh.

Next to her was the button that should have been kept by Mikaka.And it is in a pressed state.

On the blackboard, the murderer wrote crazy messages with chalk——

"You'll never catch me!"

"Bastard! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

Tears soaked Mikaka's entire face.Who can understand his grief at this moment?He lost a relative, and her death was more or less due to his negligence.The button demon, once again killed in front of him.As if deliberately trying to satirize his incompetence, his heart was pierced.

The blood turned into tears and gushed out.

"Brother Mi..." Looking at the grief-stricken Mi Kaka, Li Xiaochong couldn't find any words of comfort.

There is no cure for a broken heart.

The button devil, has it appeared again?

Qi Mu, who had been standing behind Mi Kaka, did not go forward to comfort him. He rode over after receiving a call from Wu Sihan.At this time, the classroom where the incident occurred was blocked by the police.As the medical examiner scrutinized the body, the narcissistic police officer wrestled with his questions.

No murder weapon was found at the scene.Xiao Xiwei's throat was cut, it was a fatal wound, the wound was about two to three inches.This time, what trick did the murderer use?

Qi Mu frowned deeply.Not a single trick in the murder notes he wrote fits the present situation.The murderer either used no tricks or used an alibi—because Wu Sihan mentioned that the three of them searched the teaching building separately.In this way, one of them could sneak up and kill Xiao Xiwei.The possibility of outsiders committing the crime is not ruled out.

Now, Qi Mu found that this is a very strange phenomenon.

Some cases will fit his murder note, while others will deviate from the assumption.The button demons are in a maze, and they are deeply trapped in a huge maze.

And who is his real identity?
"Qi Mu? Whose name is this?" Suddenly, Qi Mu heard Tang Yu calling his name in the classroom.It turned out that the button demon put a red button on the podium, and the name written on it was Qi Mu.

"I am Qi Mu." Qi Mu appeared at the door.

"It's you?" Tang Zhen knew this boy, and he had appeared at the scene of the crime several times.Regarding this point, Tang Yu had to be suspicious.When he was leaning against the door frame and meditating stylishly, Qi Mu had already taken the button.

This is the challenge book that the button demon gave him.Saiki is well aware of this.He had a strange feeling with a small weight that was neither light nor heavy in his hand.Everything started because of him, so the ending should also be brought to an end by him.Qi Mu turned his head and glanced at Mi Kaka, who was sitting in a wheelchair, immersed in grief, and the words in his throat were drowned in silence.I can only say in my heart: "Mikaka, I will avenge you!"

Looking past Mikaka's back, Qi Mu suddenly caught a hurried figure downstairs.That person was leaving quickly from the teaching building.She could barely make out her outline in the dark night.She should be Li Ni.

How could she appear here so late?

The lights glowed faintly white.The curtains were drawn in the room, blocking out the deep night.Looking out from the gap in the curtains, the police at the murder scene on the other side of the teaching building are still busy collecting evidence.Li Ni stood quietly in front of the window, holding a carving knife in her hand, slowly wiping off the blood with a white handkerchief.

Lying on the 1 million yuan bed, Qi Mu threw the red button that belonged to him into the air, and caught it in the direction where the parabola fell.A small piece of red in the pupil was thrown down monotonously and repeatedly.And the first ray of sunlight in the morning has entered the room.The city is slowly waking up from its long sleep.

After thinking like this for some time, Saiki heard footsteps going upstairs and sat up from the bed.Soon, Wu Sihan appeared at the door.Early in the morning, she brought fried dough sticks and white porridge to bring him breakfast.

"Have you figured out the case?" Wu Sihan asked while putting the breakfast on the coffee table, but Qi Mu didn't move, but picked up an apple from the fruit basket, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Whenever his thoughts hit a dead end, he would eat an apple.Sometimes, inspiration follows after eating an apple.But this time is much more difficult, and he still has no idea to crack it.

"Xiaowei died so badly..." Feeling very sad about his friend's death, Wu Sihan wiped his red eyes from crying, "Boss, you must avenge her!"

"I will." As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Mu received a call.It was Mikaka calling.It seems that his mood is still not calmed down, and his voice is full of tears.But there was determination in his tone.

"Qimu, I have something to ask you. Please promise me."

Mikaka in this tone reminded Saiki of his former Ultraman partner.At that time, Mikaka begged to be his assistant and beat Joker with him.Things have changed, unexpectedly, Mi Kaka still begged to be his partner today.

"My cousin's death is my fault." Mi Kaka blamed herself deeply for this matter.

But Qi Mu understood that the red button he kept for Xiao Xiwei must have been stolen by the button demon.It's not his fault.

"Don't worry, the button demon will appear soon." Qi Mu grabbed the button in his hand.

There is only one way to bring out the button demon.

"What do you want to do?" Mikaka over there seemed to have guessed Qi Mu's thoughts, "You don't want to..." The call was interrupted—— Qi Mu hung up the phone.He picked up the red button, looked at it for a few seconds, and then made a move that made Wu Sihan scream out - he pressed the button!
"Wow! You... what are you doing?!" Wu Sihan was taken aback, his face turned pale, "Don't you know that anyone who presses the button will die?"

"It's not that easy to kill me." Qi Mu said calmly.Although he knew that doing so would be dangerous, he had enough self-confidence.Moreover, if the button demon wants to attack him, he must show up.At that time, he will know his true face.

"However, this is too...adventurous..."

While Wu Sihan was talking to himself, Qi Mu's cell phone rang again.But he didn't answer.If Mikaka tried to persuade him not to do this, it was already too late.However, Mikaka did not call him for this matter.Soon, Qi Mu's cell phone received a text message.

It was sent by Mi Kaka - "The police have found the murder weapon that killed Xiao Xiwei in the trash can outside the school. It was a carving knife. At the same time, the results of the forensic examination came out. According to the forensic doctor's judgment, Xiao Xiwei probably committed suicide."

"What? Suicide?!" How is this possible!This text message almost completely overturned Qi Mu's previous inferences.It was so unexpected, Qi Mu frowned deeply, his figure was as motionless as a rock.Soon, he drove away the astonishment.

"Quick, let's go to the police station!" Perhaps, the forensic doctor missed something and made a wrong judgment.Qi Mu hurried down the stairs.As soon as he stepped down the first step, he suddenly felt a cold killing intent piercing his back.That came from behind him!Qi Mu turned his head suddenly, but saw Wu Sihan holding a fruit knife, cracking a strange evil smile inch by inch: "Go to hell!"
