Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"...Wow, so this is the joy of the rich."

The three entered the conference room.

Seated on the left side was a young man with short white hair and glasses.

It seemed he was Rinnosuke, the biggest suspect in this case.

"Oh?"

As if sensing Chu Bai's gaze, Rinnosuke turned his head.

Their eyes met in the air, and then he took the initiative to walk towards Chu Bai.

"Heh, instead of running away, you're coming straight at me?"

Chu Bai put his left hand in his pocket, his eyes sharp, his expression hidden in the shadows befitting a villain.

Rinnosuke was fearless, walking slowly but firmly:

"How can I find a way to refute you without getting closer? Detective Chu Bai?"

"Hoo hoo... then come a little closer, suspect Rinnosuke!"

The two approached each other.

Their bodies stood face to face.

Eyes met eyes, nose almost touching nose.

Faint youkai power and magic power emerged simultaneously, and the two took off, as if an aerial danmaku battle was about to unfold!

Then...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...They both hit the ceiling, clutching their heads as they fell.

Alice couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "Are these two idiots?"

Koakuma also sweated on her forehead: "These two gentlemen are idiots..."

...

...

"Please be quiet, everyone."

Fortunately, Sakuya picked up a hammer in time and banged it twice.

The chaotic conference room finally quieted down.

At this time, Sakuya was in the main seat, responsible for leading the interrogation and announcing the results.

The spectator seats were filled with the Scarlet Devil Mansion's fairy maids, who, although often slacking off, were very interested in joining the fun.

"Miss said that because it's just a simple inquiry, it's definitely impossible to find the culprit so easily."

"So I will preside over the entire inquiry, and she will appear during the final rebuttal."

Sakuya explained the rules in detail:

"Rinnosuke will be the first to speak."

"Cheng Bu Tang... Mr. Chu Bai, as the detective, can "question", "object", and "present evidence" at any time."

"It's really more and more like a game!"

Chu Bai couldn't help but mutter in a low voice:

"And Sakuya almost said a certain name just now, right? Are you really not worried about getting a lawyer's letter?"

Alice poked his arm, signaling Chu Bai to stop complaining.

Sakuya picked up the small hammer and knocked it heavily twice.

"Then I announce that the interrogation begins!"

...

...

"Interrogation begins!"

"First, please let the person being questioned, Mr. Rinnosuke, speak and state his movements on the day of the incident."

Looking at the bright throwing knives on the table.

Recalling how he was "politely invited" here.

Rinnosuke didn't dare to cause trouble and obediently stood up and began his testimony:

"My name is Morichika Rinnosuke, and I am the shopkeeper of Kourindou."

"Yesterday, I took a part-time job, which was to help the Great Library move items."

"After the work was completed, I also received the reward and went home. It's that simple."

The first round of statements was completed.

It seems he also knows the principle that the more you say, the more likely you are to make mistakes, so he only gave a very concise explanation.

But even so, Chu Bai still found contradictions in his statement.

[Question!]

Chu Bai slammed the table and stood up, his eyes fixed on Rinnosuke:

"Mr. Rinnosuke, you said you accepted a part-time job as a mover?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"Of course there is!"

Chu Bai pointed out the problem decisively:

"You are a "proud" half-youkai, and also the owner of a junk shop... why would you choose to be a mover?"

"Although all jobs are equal, I'm afraid you wouldn't do this part-time job for no reason, right?"

Facing Chu Bai's questioning.

Rinnosuke was still calm and composed, calmly adjusting his glasses:

"Well, that's because I'm short of money recently."

"When people are short of money, they can do anything."

"And my Kourindou is not a junk shop, but a proper tool shop! Remember that clearly for me!"

"...(?)?"

Suddenly, Chu Bai glanced at Alice beside him.

Alice's eyes were also a little erratic:

"So that's a tool shop? I thought it was a garbage dump looking at its dilapidated appearance..."

Chu Bai was silent for a long time, and then decisively shifted his thinking.

Even if the other party is really the culprit...

Then as long as he keeps questioning like this, peeling away the layers, he will definitely find the other party's flaws!

Therefore, Chu Bai decisively chose to continue the attack:

[Question!]

He took out another questionable statement:

"The data shows that you entered the Great Library a few minutes later than others."

"But as we all know, the movers entered the Scarlet Devil Mansion together."

"And after you entered the Scarlet Devil Mansion, you "delayed" for several minutes before arriving at the library."

"May I ask, Mr. Rinnosuke, what exactly were you doing in the Scarlet Devil Mansion during these few minutes?"

The second questioning.

This time, Rinnosuke's expression finally changed slightly.

He didn't expect Chu Bai to not let go of even this detail!

"Actually, I suddenly had to pee and went to the toilet..."

Chu Bai pressed on step by step:

"Then may I ask on which floor is the Scarlet Devil Mansion's toilet? Roughly in which direction?"

"How could I remember such a thing!"

[Objection!]

Chu Bai retorted:

"If you really went to the toilet, then it's impossible that you don't even remember the floor!"

"Because you are the tool shop owner with "strong memory"!"

Contradiction pointed out!

Rinnosuke's face changed drastically!

He swallowed and his tone became uncertain:

"Th-that's actually because I misremembered."

"Actually, I was fascinated by the scenery of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and looked at the scenery for a while before going to work..."

[Objection!!]

Chu Bai denied again:

"You just said that you have reached the point of being "very short of money"!"

"Being so short of money, would you delay working hours because of such a small matter, thereby "delaying wage payment"?"

"Th-this..."

Rinnosuke took half a step back, his expression panicked.

Under Chu Bai's questioning and Sakuya's scrutinizing gaze, he hurriedly looked for another excuse:

"Actually, I wanted to take a break in the middle."

"After all, I was very tired after rushing over, so..."

[Objection!!]

Three consecutive rebuttals!

Imposing!

Chu Bai's voice was like a hammer, hitting Rinnosuke's heart hard!

Under his desperate gaze, Chu Bai smiled slightly and pointed out his flaw again.

"Mr. Rinnosuke, don't forget your identity - you are a "half-youkai"."

"Even ordinary human movers did not feel tired or weary."

"As a half-youkai, you said you were tired before you even started working, which is completely contrary to common sense!"

Seeing that Rinnosuke was already full of loopholes.

Chu Bai decisively issued a stern question:

"Confess! What exactly were you doing in these missing minutes!"

"I... this... I..."

Rinnosuke's breathing was a little rapid.
