The Inquisitor is a Manga Artist
Chapter 30
"Actually,
I think I know who did it! "
Since Hyuga Chuangichi's words were spoken
Chiaki Chihara and Akashiji Seijuro looked at each other.
"You know?
Do you have any solid evidence? "Akaji signaled Hyuga Genesis to continue.
"If possible, I would like to say it in front of everyone. After all, some things need witnesses …"
"Hyuga Genesis, huh?" Akaji looked at him carefully, his eyes sharp.
"I remember you are the ace debater of the Ice Emperor Academy, right?
If you really have the ability, I don't mind hearing it from you. "
"This isn't a large-scale reasoning AGC game …" Chiaki Chihara mumbled softly.
He took out his phone and prepared to record the conversation.
Thus, everyone was summoned to Chiaki Chihara's infirmary. Although the infirmary of Teiguang Secondary wasn't small, it was still quite crowded.
With so many people squeezing in at once, it felt a little noisy.
The old man in the infirmary looked into the room and sighed.
He didn't know what to say.
"So, what did Hyuga mean when she said she knew the truth??
Didn't you say that it was Seto who did it? "
"I … Actually, this matter wasn't done by Seto-san!" Hyuga Chuunibyou shook his head and quickly expressed his opinion.
"Because she has an alibi!"
The girls from the Department of Discipline glanced at him.
They shook their heads in amusement.
"You are the debater of the Ice Emperor Academy, right?
Do you really think you are a famous detective or something?
An alibi?
Do you think you are solving some important case? "
"That's right, that's right.
You are siding with that guy.
Don't tell me you like him? "
"Uh … No, that's not it.
I … "
Hyuga Chuunibyou was severely criticized by several girls, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
"At least don't interrupt when others are talking.
I think this is the most basic respect, right? "
Akaji's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
The girls who had just spoken suddenly shut their mouths.
"I'm sorry!" They quickly stopped.
The surroundings seemed to have become even quieter.
Chiaki Chihara was shocked.
While she was shocked by Akashiji Seijuro's powerful aura, she even unconsciously picked up her phone and began to record it.
"Then, say what you want to say." Akaji crossed his arms and looked at Hyuga Genesis, indicating for him to speak.
… How strange!
Why did he feel like he was being summoned?
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still had to say what needed to be said.
Hyuga Genesis coughed lightly and began to analyze the situation.
"First of all, I want to talk about Seto's alibi.
I remember that before Setsubara brought the shoes over, there were no problems with them, right? "
"Uh … I wouldn't put a blade in my shoes." Chiaki Chihara nodded.
"Then that's it. When Seto's match ended, the shoes were in a normal state."
"Then the blade appeared after Seto used it … But Seto, I want to ask you, where did you put the shoes after you used them?"
"I gave them to Matsuhara-kun because I couldn't find Setsubara." Setokurumi said calmly.
"By the way, I didn't know that the shoes belonged to Setsubara. Shiroki-kun didn't tell me before, and I only found out after the match.
If I knew that the shoes belonged to Setsubara, I wouldn't have lent them to him. "
"After that, where did Seto go?" Hyuga Genesis asked.
"He stayed in the arena the whole time. Although the others can't testify for me, there should be a camera where I was standing. You can ask someone to take a look."
"Then I'll go take a look." Matsubara Hidesuke agreed and walked out.
"So, this wasn't Setokurumi's doing?" A girl from the Discipline Department whispered.
"Why would I do such a thing?" Setokurumi tilted her head and looked at Ryota Hwang Se with a burning gaze.
"I'm not interested in anything other than Kun Hwang. Since Setsubara isn't interested in Kun Hwang, then I won't do anything out of line."
Ryota Hwang Se silently shrunk towards the corner, as if she felt an inexplicable chill.
"If that's the case, then Setokurumi does have an alibi." Akaji didn't mind Seto's words.
"Then what do you mean when you said you knew the truth?"
"Actually, the blades embedded in Chiaki Chihara's shoes weren't ordinary blades, but utility blades."
"Utility blades …" Chiaki Chihara thought for a moment. "I remember that utility blades can't be brought into the arena, right?
After all, everyone has to remove all metal objects from their bodies before entering the arena, and they have to undergo a very strict physical inspection. "
"Only athletes, coaches, and members of the student council can enter the area where the shoes are placed, so we can basically rule out the possibility that the blades were brought into the arena." Hyuga Genesis nodded.
"Coaches are definitely ruled out. Then, did the blades come from within the school?" Kōmura Tsuki asked after some thought.
"Normally, there would be utility blades in the drawers or cabinets in the sports room, so it shouldn't be a problem to take them out on the spot." Akaji said.
At this time, Matsubara Hidesuke had also finished checking the cameras, and she shook her head at everyone.
"Seto was indeed in the arena the whole time."
"Then, Seto should be completely eliminated as a suspect." Divination said excitedly. "This feels like fun!
It's like a mystery game. "
"… Speaking of which, can't your divination tell us who the murderer is?" Chiaki Chihara asked.
"I can't. My divination can only predict things in the future. I can't predict things in the past!"
"Sigh … What a pity …"
"Then why can't it be Kawashita Tsuki who did it?" Sayaka Shiroaki suddenly asked as she looked at Umeko Kawashita suspiciously.
"You knew that Seto wanted to borrow a pair of sports shoes, so you purposely wanted to frame Seto, right?"
Umeko Kawashita was slightly stunned as she didn't expect Shiroaki Chihara to suspect her.
"I didn't do such a thing!"
"You're a member of the student council's discipline department, so of course you can go to every room. Also, you had some conflict with Setsubara before, right?
Why didn't I suspect you? "
"Speaking of which … Kawashita also lent me a utility blade during Akazai's competition today." Shiroaki Chihara suddenly thought of something and blurted it out.
"I'm a member of the discipline committee, so I have a lot of things to do … It's not a big deal to carry a utility blade around with me, right?"
"Then, can you prove that you didn't do it?" Sayaka Shiroaki looked a little aggressive, and there was an unknown anger in her eyes.
"That … Actually, Kawashita Tsuki was outside the arena the whole time, right?
Even when she was maintaining discipline, she was with Matsuhara Tsuki. "Hyuga Genesis said," So, Kawashita Tsuki shouldn't be there. "
"But there was a period of time when Kawashita Tsuki wasn't with Matsuhara Tsuki." Setokurumi suddenly said, and her gaze turned to Chihara Tsuki.
"Setsubara Tsuki should know, right?
Kawashita Tsuki suddenly rushed out … "
"Uh …" Hyuga Genesis who obviously didn't know the situation was in an awkward situation, so he looked at Umeko Kawashita, as if he was waiting for her answer.
Umeko Kawashita bit her lips, and her eyes slightly lowered.
"I …"
"It's fine if you don't say it, right?" Matsubara Hidesuke said carefully.
"Kawashita Tsuki isn't someone who would do that kind of thing."
"It's always better to get to the bottom of things. Or is it something shameful?" Xiang Buming said snappily.
"Sure, if you don't want to say it, just admit it." Sayaka Shiroaki crossed her arms, and her face was full of disdain.
"Where's your usual attitude of bullying others?
Anyway, you people from the Discipline Department only know how to suspect others for no reason, right? "
"You!"
A girl from the Discipline Department blushed, and just as she was about to rush up and argue with her, she was stopped by Umeko Kawashita.
"Actually, I confessed to Matsuhara Tsuki." Umeko Kawashita was silent for a while, and said softly, "But Matsuhara Tsuki rejected me.
After that, I left in a fit of pique, and a few other girls from the Discipline Department accompanied me … After that, I went back to the classroom, and rested for a while before going downstairs. "
"Yeah, that's … what happened." Matsubara Hidesuke slightly tilted her head, and seemed to be a little embarrassed.
After all, this kind of thing was not something to be proud of in front of so many people.
"Is, is that so …" Hyuga Genesis nodded, and turned her head back awkwardly.
"Anyway, this matter was not done by Kawashita, and she has a very good alibi."
"Then who did it?" Everyone looked at Hyuga Genesis curiously, as if waiting for her answer.
"According to my previous investigation, and some people's questions …" Hyuga Genesis swallowed her saliva, and finally said the final answer in a deep voice.
"After Seto's competition, and before Setsubara's competition, the only person who had time should be Shiroaki."
After Hyuga Genesis finished speaking, everyone looked at Sayaka Shiroaki, and most of them had an extremely shocked expression on their faces, including Setokurumi.
"Shiroaki … it's actually Shiroaki?"
"But Shiroaki … although her results are not good, she has always been a helpful person, why would it be her …"
"Did you make a mistake somewhere?"
Setokurumi couldn't hold it in anymore, "How could Shiroaki do such a thing?
She can't think of such a thing, right? "
"When I went to the stadium, I found a young man who was standing there at the time. He was the one who helped to bring the shoes over, but in reality, it was Shiroaki who brought the shoes over. In order to not be too obvious, she chose to pass it over."
Hyuga Genesis continued, "Shiroaki is one of the athletes, so she naturally has the right to enter the stadium whenever she wants. Moreover, Seto passed the shoes to Shiroaki after the competition, and Shiroaki happened to return to the stadium to get her a towel and water. This was also an opportunity."
"Although it's a bit far-fetched to say this … but at that time, there was no time …"
"You don't have to say anymore, I was the one who did it."
Sayaka Shiroaki's face was very pale, but after listening to Hyuga Genesis's explanation, she admitted it without hesitation.
"Was, was it Shiroaki who did it?" Kōmura Tsuki couldn't believe it either.
"Oh, is that so?" Chiaki Chihara didn't say anything and just looked at her calmly.
"Why would you do such a thing?"
"I'm sorry, Setsubara," Sayaka Shiroaki sighed and said in a depressed tone.
"I thought you would realize it soon, I just wanted to teach you a lesson … I didn't think you would still run away and cause such a consequence."
"I just couldn't accept such an ending … Seto was ostracized by many people in school because of you, and we gradually drifted apart. I always felt that it was your fault."
"I didn't think too much when I put the blade in, and it was too late by the time I regretted it … I apologize for my impulsiveness, and I'm willing to accept any punishment, even if I have to drop out of school."
"It's not that serious," Chiaki Chihara said coldly, and slightly shifted his gaze to the side.
"Sigh, so it's settled just like that …" Divination said as if she hadn't had enough.
"It wasn't that complicated to begin with …" Kōmura Tsuki shook her head helplessly. "But, Hyuuga-kun is really amazing, to be able to gather limited clues in such a short time, and then find the culprit!
He's really super amazing! "
"Oh, Hyuuga-kun is really amazing …" Matsubara Hidesuke said.
"No … I didn't do much …" Hyuga Genesis shook her head and said nervously.
"In short, Hyuuga-kun, please don't say things like you're ordinary." Chiaki Chihara held her chin and looked at Hyuga Genesis.
"Everyone has their own excellence, and it may not be obvious, but it's real.
Also, Hyuuga-kun is very considerate of others, and is a very gentle person. Compared to your other strengths, this is the most attractive.
"At least, it's much better than some people who are just bystanders."
Chiaki Chihara said as she looked at the few teenagers who laughed at Hyuga Genesis, and the latter blushed slightly.
"Is that so …" Hyuga Genesis nodded with embarrassment. "Thank you, Setsubara."
Chiaki Chihara sighed slightly and turned off the phone that had been on all this time. She stood up slightly and looked at Sayaka Shiroaki who was hesitating at the side.
