Haruhiri planned to go to the murder scene on the third floor to check again, but the housekeeper Xinchuan who was guarding the door told the police not to allow anyone to enter.And then I wanted to know some information from the other party about whether the Tamamaru brothers had any quarrels, but unexpectedly learned that the steward Xinchuan and Miss Mori were only hired temporarily, in other words, the two of them could hardly provide any useful information .

Worst of all, the speedboat that was parked at the pier was gone.

"It was either washed away or driven away, cut, no matter which one is terrible." Chun Ri said while wiping his hair with a towel handed by Miss Mori.

"Go back to your room and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold." Ah Xu suggested, and apologized to Miss Mori for the two of them getting the corridor wet.

"Come to my room after changing your clothes." Haruhi said while climbing the stairs, "At this time, it's better for everyone to get together. I can't rest assured that everyone is safe and sound. .If there is a case..."

Haruhi shut up halfway through her sentence.But Ah Xu didn't complain about her as usual, after all, he could understand Haruhi's thoughts at this time.

And when the two came to the second floor, they saw Koizumi standing helplessly in the corridor.

"Thank you." Koizumi, standing in front of Haruhi's room, greeted the two with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Kasuga asked strangely.

Hearing this, the smile on Koizumi's face showed a bit of helplessness, he shrugged and said, "I went to Suzumiya-san's room to discuss the future, but Nagato-san wouldn't let me in."

"?" Chunri was a little puzzled, then knocked on the door and said, "Youxi, I'm the one who came back, open the door."

After a brief silence, Nagato's faint voice came through the door, "You told me before that no one is allowed to open the door."

"..." Haruhi and Ah Xu looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at Gu Quan.

Koizumi spread his hands helplessly and said, "...That's it."

"Where's classmate Lin?" Ah Xu asked, thinking that even if Asahina-senpai hasn't woken up, wouldn't Lin Lu still be there?

"I heard from Nagato-san that he seemed to be asleep." Koizumi replied.

"...I said Yuki! Anyone I'm talking about is anyone other than us! It's another matter for me, Axu, and Koizumi, right?" Haruhi turned his head, For the long doorway in the door, I hope the other party will not be so stubborn.

"No one explained it like that. What I heard was that the door cannot be opened to let anyone in." Nagato's tone was still calm, but against the background of the storm, it was as indifferent and almost cold as the priestess who conveyed the apocalypse.

Amid the voices of several people, Lin Lu opened his eyes in a daze.And Nagato's last icy words made her wake up immediately.

Turning over and sitting up, she met the eyes of Nagato who turned her head, and the next second, she smiled softly: "Student Nagato, you are really evil~"

Immediately, she got up quickly, tidied herself up, went to the door and opened it, smiled at Haruhi and the others: "Come in quickly, Nagato-san is just joking."

"Watch--" The three of them couldn't help turning their eyes to Nagato, trying to see a little joke from that serious face.

Facing the eyes of the three people, Nagato just raised his head lightly and gave a "hmm" to express his affirmation.

"囧" X3

---------------------------------------

After Chunri and Ah Xu went back to their rooms and changed their clothes, everyone gathered together again to discuss the case that happened today and the news they just heard.

Because Ms. Arimori once saw "Mr. Ayu rushing downstairs as if he was afraid of something" in the early hours of the morning. That was the last time that Mr. Ayu appeared in front of people. Combined with the disappearing speedboat, it seems that things are getting worse In the look of "Mr. Yuu killed Mr. Keiichi and then ran away in the rain".

"But if this is the case, then there is something very strange." Koizumi said with his arms in his arms.

"How?" Ash asked.

"Because when I touched Mr. Keiichi, his body was still warm, almost no different from ordinary people." Koizumi smiled and continued, "You must know that once human beings stop their life activities, their body temperature will drop by one degree every hour. If calculated from this, Mr. Keiichi's death time should be within an hour of the time when he was discovered."

"Wait..." Haruhi interrupted at this moment, "But didn't you just say that Mr. Ayu escaped at night? What's going on here?"

"Because he thought he killed Keiichi-san." Koizumi glanced at the crowd as he spoke, and then explained his reasoning.

"First of all, I think it is an undeniable fact that Mr. Ayu assassinated Mr. Keiichi, otherwise he would have no reason to escape. But when he assassinated Mr. Keiichi, the tip of the knife did not reach the heart, and it didn't even matter whether it touched the skin Not necessarily. The knife stabbed Mr. Keiichi’s notebook in his breast pocket, but only the notebook was hurt.” Koizumi raised a finger like a detective, “But the pain caused by the impact made Mr. Keiichi mistakenly think that he was indeed stabbed He was injured, and under the huge mental shock, he passed out."

"As a result, Mr. Ayu also thought he had killed someone, so he ran away overnight? Isn't this too far-fetched?" Ah Xu questioned.

"If it's just an impulsive killing, wouldn't it be natural to act uncalmly when panicked?" Koizumi explained.

"Then who killed Mr. Keiichi?" Kasuga asked with a burst of blood.

"No one killed him. There was no murderer in this incident, it was just a sad accident." Koizumi put away his smile as he spoke, and continued, "After losing consciousness, Mr. Keiichi remained in a coma until dawn, until he disappeared because We knocked on the door when he got up suspicious. Mr. Keiichi, who was awakened by the knock, got up and walked to the door. But since he always feels uncomfortable after waking up, I think his consciousness must be hazy? At least Not very clear. Half unconsciously, he walked towards the door, and at this moment he finally remembered—my brother was going to kill himself. So he quickly locked the door."

Speaking of this, Ah Xu couldn't help but interjected: "You don't want to say, that's the truth about the state of the secret room, right? But how can a murderer knock on the door when he comes back to kill?"

"Unfortunately, I really think so. Keiichi-san, who passed out, lost his sense of time, and he was convinced that it was Mr. Yuu who turned back. I think we held the doorknob from the outside and the lock he locked from the inside. Time, maybe there is only one step difference?" Koizumi continued, "And at this moment, tragedy happened."

"Mr. Keiichi staggered and fell down." Koizumi bent his body and made a posture of leaning forward. It stabbed into his body, leaving only the hilt outside. The blade pierced Keiichi-san's heart, causing his death... This is the truth of the matter."

"Ah! But Koizumi..." Haruhi suddenly yelled, but then closed his mouth tightly again.

"What's wrong with this guy? I was shocked. 』Ah Xu looked at Haruhi strangely, his thoughts that were about to be organized became confused again.

"If that's the case, then when we found Mr. Keiichi, he should be lying on his stomach instead of his back, shouldn't he?" At this time, Lin Lu, who had been listening quietly with Nagato from the beginning, suddenly opened "Or, Koizumi-kun, what you really want to say is that at that time, the door was knocked open, and fell violently to the inside. Mr. Keiichi who was standing in front of the door was hit by the door, of course The same goes for the handle of the knife. As a result, Keiichi-san died."

"Little green..." Haruhi just realized this, so he suddenly stopped talking.

"But unfortunately, this is impossible." Lin Lu smiled at Haruhi reassuringly, then turned to Nagato and asked, "Did Nagato see or hear Mr. Keiichi's fall when the door was knocked open?" down?"

"No." Nagato answered quickly, almost as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time.

And even though it was such a subjective testimony, because the witness was Nagato, Kasuga and Ah Xu believed it almost immediately.

"Besides, Mr. Keiichi is still some distance away from the door. It's too far-fetched to say that he was knocked so far by the door but didn't move at all." Found something wrong.

"Okay, since this reasoning is no longer valid. So Gu Quan-kun, can I ask you a few questions?" Lin Lu turned his attention to Gu Quan.

Koizumi returned a challenging look and nodded.

"First question, you said that this is your first time here, but why did you run to Mr. Keiichi's bedroom without hesitation when you rushed up to the third floor?"

"Uncle Keiichi told me before that I can go there to find him if I need anything." Koizumi replied generously.

Lin Lu nodded, and continued to ask: "Second question, just now Chunri and Ah Xu said that both Housekeeper Xinchuan and Ms. Mori were temporarily hired by Mr. Tamamaru, but why did they come when we first met? , would you greet them with 'Long time no see'?"

"Hehe..." Gu Quan suddenly laughed foolishly, but he didn't mean to refute Lin Lu, "I'm very curious about Lin Lu, when did you find out that something was wrong?"

"It's almost not long after I sent Sister Asahina back. Calm down and think about it, you have exposed too many flaws." Lin Lu said helplessly.

"Could it be?" Haruhi looked at Koizumi in disbelief.

"Ah~ This murder case is just a pre-arranged drama." Koizumi made a gesture of surrender, "I wanted to find a time to confess, but I didn't expect it to be exposed so soon."

"You really are..." Ah Xu, who had guessed the truth halfway through hearing it, showed a helpless smile.

Outside, the storm had abated, and perhaps it would clear up in a few hours.

----------------------------------

The blade of the knife that pierced into Mr. Keiichi’s chest actually retracted halfway through. The red color was paint that looked like blood. Went to the other side of the island.

When Asahina woke up and learned the truth, he yelled and protested "It's too much!", but after Koizumi, the two Mr. Tamamaru and the two servants bowed their heads and apologized, they quickly forgave each other.

The mood after Chunri has been very good, and Ah Xu admires her heart that can treat these things as simple jokes.

As for Nagato, who knew the whole truth from the beginning, he kept a low profile. In the next few days, he exchanged the books he brought with Lin Lu and read them all.

As for Koizumi, his title of deputy head was not revoked, but Kasuga still fined him to pay for everyone's food and drink on the way back.But when everyone gathered on the boat to take a group photo, Haruhi suddenly issued an order to him: "The winter camp is also for you. Next time, we must come up with a more terrifying script! Next time we will go to the mountain villa for camping, and we must book Heavy snow will do. I'll be really mad if there's no scary bungalow ready to satisfy me. Well, I'll be looking forward to it from now on!"

In this regard, Koizumi's smile froze. When he threw a distress emoji at others, they were naturally ignored by everyone.

Even Ah Xu added insult to injury: "I will also look forward to it."

The beginning of summer is so thrilling, but at this time Lin Lu, who was smiling at the camera with everyone, did not expect at all that she was about to spend the longest summer vacation in her life.

endless summer vacation
