Chapter 521 The Girl’s Thoughts

Since Miss Kyoko was completely silent about her one-hour experience in the prestigious girls' school, Takato and Yin Tate Ousuke could not imagine the situation, but Miss Kyoko had indeed investigated some clues in the school——

"The 'Last Word Girl' seems a little out of place in the class!"

As Gao Yuan started the vehicle and drove in a certain direction, Miss Kyoko started talking about the girl in the car:

"Her grades are among the best, but she seems to have a lot of problems with interpersonal relationships... Moreover, she doesn't seem to participate in club activities. She usually reads in the library after school, so the teacher in charge of the library has an impression of her."

"Well, yes. Regarding this, the teacher in charge of the library also told me just now."

Yin Tate Ousuke couldn't help but added.

"'Talent'?"

However, Gao Yuan tasted some meaning of Miss Kyoko's words and couldn't help but ask with emphasis.

"Yes. Because the 'Last Words' girl is in the class, some classmates can't even remember her name."

Miss Kyoko couldn't help but replied.

"So, it seems like she wasn't having a very happy time at school... although I wasn't very happy when I was a student either..."

Regarding this situation, Yin Tate Osuke felt a little sad, and couldn't help but put himself in the situation, and said with emotion.

"That's true. However, girls who have a bright future don't want to get involved in trouble. It's possible to use this attitude to cut off their relationship with their companions who committed suicide by jumping off the building."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but said.

"That's not true."

Miss Todayko continued:

"After all, although no one knows the specific reason why the Last Word Girl committed suicide, everyone said in unison, 'I can understand how she wanted to die.'"

"Hey? Why?"

Very shocked, Yin Tate Ousuke couldn't help but ask.

"There are various reasons. Like 'very boring', 'very boring' and so on."

Miss Kyoko said.

"Hasn't she been bullied?"

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask - after all, it is not too rare news for students of this age to commit suicide after being bullied in school.

"She didn't seem to be the target of bullying. Not only that, everyone just treated her like air."

Miss Kyoko responded.

"But, 'ignoring' is also a kind of 'bullying' in a certain situation, right?"

Yin Tate Osuke thought.

“But that’s not being ignored.”

Today's son said with certainty:

"To be more precise, the 'Last Word Girl' is deliberately avoiding contact with others. Even so, she does not hate contact with people. If someone talks to her, she will still respond. However, once it is mentioned When it comes to your own business, keep silent.”

"A sensitive girl..."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but frowned:

"In other words, she had a somewhat withdrawn personality, which caused her classmates to gradually become alienated from her... In this case, even if she seemed out of place in the class, it would hardly be a reason for her to commit suicide."

"yes."

Miss Todayko said:

"After all, from this point of view, the 'Last Word Girl' is just an over-the-top girl who lives alone. If she wants to commit suicide because she doesn't fit in in the class, then all the children will jump off the building."

"In this case, there seems to be nothing gained..."

Hearing the conclusion of the two detectives, Gintate Ousuke said helplessly, but soon, Gintate Ousuke remembered the characteristics of girls borrowing books that Akechi Fumiya mentioned to him, and with the mentality of giving it a try, Gintate Ousuke also This abnormal situation was informed to the two people in the car——

"It's the same as when boys borrow H's movies, right?"

After listening to Yin Tate Osuke's story, Miss Kyoko couldn't help but say.

"Why?"

Yin Tate Ouji said unexpectedly and doubtfully.

"In order to cover up, I would borrow them together with different videos... Isn't that the case for you, Osuke-san?"

Turning her head and tilting her head slightly, Miss Kyoko couldn't help but ask.

"yes, I……"

Subconsciously, looking at Miss Kyoko's cute expression, Yin Tate Ousuke subconsciously blurted out, but immediately, Yin Tate Ousuke stopped speaking, shook his head, showed an embarrassed smile, and then looked serious. said:

"Let's get back to the point."

In response, Miss Kyoko gave a slight smile to Yin Tate Ousuke, and then continued:

"The 'Last Word Girl' borrowed so many books at once because she wanted to keep her preferences from others as much as possible. From this point of view, it is also in line with her character! After all, someone who doesn't want others to see her bookcase will There are a lot of people there too.”

"You mean, there are books in the bookcase that you really don't want others to see?"

In this regard, Yin Tate Ousuke seemed to ask for proof.

"It does not refer to a specific book, but it refers to someone who is ashamed to let others know about his hobbies and what books he is influenced by."

Miss Todayko said seriously:

"The 'Last Word Girl' should be like this too. After all, it is the most sensitive age for girls! And if her personality is like this, she wants to..."

At this point, Miss Kyoko's words were interrupted, her expression seemed to be in a trance as if she had thought of something——

"I see, this will explain the suspicion of the suicide note!"

Gao Yuan, who reacted at the same time, couldn't help but add.

"That's right! But if that's the case, we still have to find out the real motive of the 'Girl with the Last Word' for jumping off the building!"

Miss Kyoko replied in agreement.

"Hey? What's wrong?"

After hearing the conversation between the two, the puzzled Ousuke Yindate couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Osuke, the original conclusion drawn from the students' mouths could only be that the 'Last Word Girl' is a withdrawn girl, but after adding what you mentioned just now and observing the teacher in charge of the library, we can roughly surmise The more specific character expression of the 'Girl with the Last Word'——

"She probably hates being analyzed or having her inner self explored, and she has the trait of trying to hide herself as much as possible. That's why she keeps silent when her classmates talk about her affairs, and at the same time borrows books He will also try his best to cover up things that may expose his interests."

"In other words, the girl is not someone who would reveal her inner thoughts to others. So, it is natural for her to leave such a suspicious suicide note!"

Gao Yuan continued:

"She is also hiding her real reason for jumping off the building!"

"But if you want to hide the reason for committing suicide, wouldn't it be better if you just don't leave a suicide note?"

Hidden Ousuke said in confusion.

"No, if you don't say anything and just say goodbye to this world, the world will interpret and analyze her suicide at will."

Miss Kyoko retorted seriously.

"Why?"

However, Yin Tate Ousuke still couldn't figure out the reason at all, so Miss Kyoko couldn't help but continue:

"Don't you understand? Suppose Mr. Osuke commits suicide... At this time, if someone thinks, 'Oh! That person committed suicide because he had no friends, it's so bad!' How would you feel?"

"Bad? It's really annoying to be called super bad even after death..."

Speaking of this, it seems that he feels the same way, and Yin Tate Osuke said with some sympathy.

"The grown-up Mr. Osuke thinks this way. If a sentimental teenage girl has this kind of idea, it will definitely be stronger and more solid - someone who seems out of place in school will commit suicide. It's too bad!"

Miss Todayko said:

"In addition, the 'Girl with Last Words' is extremely sensitive to begin with, so it is inevitable that she will think too much about this kind of thing - the dead cannot speak, and there is no way to stop the living from speculating on the motives for suicide.

"Once a middle school student commits suicide, they immediately think that the problem lies in the school. In this case, a girl who does not want to tell the real reason will want to leave a suicide note so that people will not speculate on her true reason for committing suicide. It’s also reasonable.”

"Surprisingly...it would be like this..."

After listening to this explanation, Yin Tate Osuke finally understood the logic, but at the same time he began to lament the complexity of the girl's mind. I'm afraid, if it weren't for Miss Kyoko and Mr. Akechi, someone like himself would be completely unreasonable. I would have thought that there would be such complicated twists and turns——

At this moment, Gao Yuan stopped the car when he drove to a rental apartment.

"Here we are."

In response, Gao Yuan pulled up the handbrake and said simply, and then Miss Kyoko smiled and thanked Gao Yuan, and then took the lead to get out of the car——

"Where is this place, Mr. Akechi?"

"That girl, Ye Yue Ya Ge's residence."

Takato replied, then he turned off the car, got out of the car immediately, and locked the door with his backhand, so that Ousuke Gindate, who had limited mobility, could only stay in the car and screamed in surprise.

However, there was no response, and Yin Tate Osuke could only watch Miss Kyoko and Takato walk into the rental apartment together in the car, but he had no choice but to stay in the car and feel depressed.

After finding the door of the apartment where Ye Yue Yage lived, Miss Kyoko first tentatively pressed the doorbell, while Gao Yuan carefully checked the closed doors and windows——

"No one's here."

Seeing no response from the room, Miss Kyoko said calmly.

"It must have been unoccupied for a while."

Gao Yuan judged this after checking the doors and windows.

"Is it possible that you are hiding from the media and hiding at a relative's house?"

Miss Kyoko thought with some doubts.

"Probably not. Even the girl in hospital has not been visited by her family members. I'm afraid..."

Gao Yuan spoke with emotion about some of the situations he had investigated before.

"So, as expected..."

Regarding the current situation, Miss Kyoko showed an expression that seemed to have been expected, but when she really faced this situation, Miss Kyoko still showed a look of regret——

"Then, Mr. Akechi should have the same plan, right?"

After relaxing her mood a little, Miss Kyoko took off the hairpin from her hair, looked at Gao Yuan with a smile and said:

"As a detective, sometimes you have to do things as a last resort!"

"It seems that Miss Kyoko is very good at this craft?"

Regarding Miss Kyoko's performance at this time, Gao Yuan also said slightly unexpectedly——

It seems that the master key he borrowed from Kuroba Kaito is no longer of use for the time being.

Faced with Gao Yuan's statement, Miss Kyoko just smiled back, then took the hairpin and inserted it into the keyhole of the door——

"What should we do over there, Mr. Osuke?"

Miss Kyoko asked while concentrating on opening the lock.

"It doesn't matter, I locked him in the car. Even if he has the ability to get out of the car, given his current condition, he won't be able to get out that quickly."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but said:

"After all, he is sneaking into the girl's home. Considering his status, it is best to avoid suspicion as much as possible."

"Yes, once we let him know our thoughts, he will become an accomplice."

As Miss Kyoko said, she took off another hairpin from her head, used two hairpins together, and finally unlocked the door——

This is an uninteresting room.

For the two people who walked into the room, after seeing the furnishings in the room, they had this thought at the same time——

It is simply furnished, with only the minimum furniture and electrical appliances. The room does not look too big, but it looks a bit empty.

And the most important thing is that there is no bookcase here as Gao Yuan and Miss Kyoko imagined. There are only two or three books borrowed from the school library on the desk.

Of course, there are no comic books here at all——

"It's all in vain..."

In this regard, Miss Kyoko couldn’t help but sigh with emotion:

"It seems like she can only borrow books and read them..."

"But there are no comic books..."

Gao Yuan said with some concern:

"The comic book the content of the suicide note comes from is not in the school library!"

"In other words, she may have other channels to borrow books!"

Miss Kyoko reacted immediately, said in surprise, and then started rummaging around the room.

"But, since she is so sensitive, how can a girl who cares about borrowing books leave traces of borrowing books so easily?"

Gao Yuan said without expectation, sat down at the desk in the room, opened the drawer, and started rummaging through them one by one.

However, as expected by Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan and Miss Kyoko did not find any evidence in the room that the girl might have borrowed books elsewhere -

"A twelve-year-old junior high school girl... I still can't understand it..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan was a little helpless and said with emotion——

Not only because Hazuki Yage made things so complicated because she wanted to hide her hobby of reading, but also because before, the mysterious girl Shirozuka Hisui asked herself an inexplicable request as if she was telling a riddle— —

Therefore, I didn’t want to conduct the investigation myself before...

Thinking of this, seeing Miss Kyoko still wearing the uniform of Sakuraba Women's Academy, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had asked Miss Kyoko to go to the school to investigate, otherwise he would definitely not be able to deal with a girl of this age——

"There is no other way. It seems that we can only investigate all possible bookstores or libraries!"

Miss Kyoko sighed blankly.

——Although it is very troublesome, this is the only way at present. Finding ways to figure out the girl's thoughts is the only way to figure out the mystery of the girl's suicide.

Gao Yuan could only nod in agreement with this suggestion...
