Evil schoolgirl stalks me

Natsume Yayoi looked away.

Suddenly, Fujiwara Kaori took two steps back.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, the woman ran away in a hurry, as if she was escaping from something.

Natsume Yayoi narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Fujiwara Kaori's escaping figure.

Slight footsteps came from behind.

Turning around, Yukiyo Sakura stood behind him.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

The girl handed a yellowed leaflet to his hand and said, "The Reasoning Department is recruiting new recruits, the corner of the fifth floor."

Natsume Yayoi unfolded the flyer.

An oversized eye is drawn on it, and below the eye is the recruitment announcement from the Reasoning Department:

[Everything you see is a clue, and the truth is also there].

He carefully folded the flyer and nodded to her.

"I'll be there."

Hearing his response, Yukiyo Sakura had a slight smile on her face.

Then, she waved to him, turned around and went downstairs.

Natsume Yayoi stopped her: "Senior, wait."

Yukiyo Sakura turned around.

"what's up?"

"The other day I asked you what perfume you were using, but you didn't answer me yet. I wanted to buy it for my friend's sister as a birthday gift."

perfume?

Yukiyo Sakura raised her wrist and sniffed it twice.

Didn't smell any fragrance.

"Sorry, I never wear perfume."

Hearing her answer, Natsume Yayoi scratched her head.

"That's it"

Chapter 4 Criminal Methods

As soon as Natsume Yayoi returned to the classroom, she heard Hayashi Noka and Kondo Yan talking about some topics that concerned him.

"Then isn't she a murderer?!"

"You may think so."

"But why not arrest her?"

"Not enough evidence."

"What are you talking about?" Yayoi Natsume asked, sitting back in her seat.

"We were talking about a senior student who fell from a building last year."

Sayuri Aikawa answered his question.Then, she pointed to the tempura in the lunch box, clasped her hands together and said, "I hate eating meat, please help me eat these, please~"

"Ah."

The girl put the tempura into his bread. After Natsume Yayoi thanked him, she prepared to put the bread into her mouth.Before reaching his mouth, he seemed to suddenly think of something and asked casually:

"I just heard words like [murderer] and [insufficient evidence]. What on earth is going on?"

Then he took a big bite of bread.

"I heard from the seniors in the basketball club that the senior actually died after being threatened." At this point, Kondohiko looked at Natsume Yayoi and his heart moved, "I remember that you like to read mystery novels, right?"

Natsume Yayoi swallowed the food in her mouth hard, then slowly said, "What's wrong?"

"The original school pays attention to fairness and rational logic. In some novels, the author will issue a [declaration of challenge] and tell the reader [here you already have enough clues to solve the mystery]. Right?"

"That's right, but why do you say this suddenly?"

Natsume Yayoi was confused, and even the two girls looked at Kondo Hiko with doubtful eyes.

Kondo Hiko crossed his fingers, placed them on his chin, and said slowly: "The clues I gave you today are enough to deduce the cause of senior sister's death. Let's give it a try."

Hearing his words, Natsume Yayoi was stunned for a moment.

Combining the information he learned from Yukiyo Sakura and Fujiwara Kaori, combined with the conversation he just had from Kondohiko and Hayashi Noka, he did guess something.

But Kondo Hiko didn’t know there were so many clues in his hands.

In other words, after excluding what he heard from Yukiyo Sakura and Fujiwara Kaori, Kondohiko still believed that it was possible for him to deduce the truth.

In addition to knowing that the senior sister was threatened to death, the only clue she had was that the murderer was [her].

(ps: In Japanese, she and he are pronounced differently.)

These alone are not enough, right?

Lin Yexiang asked with some confusion: "Kondo, what you just said is not enough at all."

Kondo Hiko put his finger to his lips, "Shh~ don't affect his thinking."

"Oh"

Time passed by, Natsume Yayoi kept frowning in deep thought, Kondo Hiko couldn't help but ask:

"Natsume, do you want to give you a hint?"

Natsume Yayoi, who had calmed down, shook her head and said, "No, I'm just a little unsure about the answer."

"In other words, you already have the answer?"

"It should be said that it is just a seemingly reasonable guess."

"Tell me."

Natsume Yayoi pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because of Teacher Nomura?"

Kondo Hiko applauded lightly.

"...Sure enough, people who like mystery novels are good at reasoning!"

"what?!"

Lin Yexiang made a surprised sound.

While Natsume Yayoi was thinking, she also tried to reason, but she had no clue about the death of her senior sister.

How did this Natsume Yayoi, who is usually in a daze and looks dull and unremarkable, do it?

Glancing at the surprised girl, Kondo Hiko asked, "You seem surprised?"

Lin Yexiang hesitated and asked in a low voice: "So, what Natsume said is true? Teacher Nomura, is it related to the death of that senior sister? How did you guess it?"

"Don't worry, Natsume hasn't finished speaking yet. Explaining the reasoning process is the most important part."

Natsume Yayoi organized her thoughts and spoke slowly:

"I heard your conversation when I first entered the classroom and got the first clue that the murderer was a woman.

Immediately afterwards, Kondo told me the second clue. The murderer threatened the senior sister, which led to her death.

Before classmate Lin came back, Kondo mentioned something to me: the campus website announced that Teacher Nomura committed suicide due to long-term depression.

That's all the clues.

I can only attribute Mr. Nomura's depression to the death of his senior sister.Only in this way can Kondo's sentence "The clues given today are enough" be satisfied.

Assuming that this guess is true, the relationship between Mr. Nomura and his senior sister must be extraordinary.

Maybe you taught your senior sister?Or maybe the instructor of the club where the senior sister belongs?In addition to teachers and students, there may be other identities.For example, relatives, neighbors." Natsume Yayoi paused for a while and continued: "...even some kind of unspeakable relationship.

This school prohibits teachers and students from getting too close.

Perhaps the murderer took advantage of this and threatened the senior sister, causing her death, and Teacher Nomura also suffered from depression.

However, this is just a relatively reasonable guess among many possibilities.

To deduce the truth, more clues are needed. "

Natsume Yayoi looked at Kondo Hiko to ask for confirmation, but the latter scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I just said that, just to test how far you can reason... Actually, the seniors in the basketball department didn't tell me any more details. I will ask for you after school."

Natsume Yayoi didn't care that she couldn't confirm the guess right away.

What he is more concerned about is: whether Fujiwara Kaori played an important role in this matter, and what Yukiyo Sakura's motives were.

However, Lin Yexiang looked very disappointed.

"Hey, isn't this the same as waiting in a long line to eat barbecue, and when it's finally time for you, the general says that we've run out of ingredients today, so we'll eat tomorrow!"

".Your metaphor is too specific."

"Because it was a personal experience, and more than once."

Kondo Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He could only give the girl a sympathetic look.

Natsume Yayoi picked up the cold bread and started eating again.

There was something else that concerned him.

Sayuri Aikawa seemed a little unhappy from the beginning, but Kondohiko obviously noticed it, but pretended not to notice.

What is going on with these two people?

Sensing Natsume Yayoi's gaze, Aikawa Sayuri smiled at him.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"
