But... the lover's photo, the twin sister who died unexpectedly, and the twin sister with strange behavior—Xu Ming seemed to vaguely understand something.

"Matsuga-kun, as the best friend of these twin sisters, do you have a way of telling them apart?"

Xu Ming suddenly asked.

"Um... I can't really tell them apart either. I usually distinguish them by the headdresses they wear."

Matsugawa Chiharu scratched the back of her head somewhat awkwardly.

"I remember a few times when the two of them would deliberately swap headdresses to joke with everyone, and they almost fooled everyone. But Shiori seems to have a way of telling them apart."

After hearing Matsugata Chiharu's answer, Xu Ming immediately had his answer.

"I understand, thank you for the information. This information is very important."

"Can I go see Reika Ninomiya again?"

Xu Ming asked the head of the teaching department.

"Investigator, have you discovered anything?"

The dean of students, who had been wearing a stern face as if everyone owed her five million, immediately relaxed and revealed a hint of anticipation.

"That's it."

Xu Ming gave a vague answer and did not give a direct response.

Reika Ninomiya's room is also on the 3rd floor.

Arriving outside her room, Xu Ming knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Reika Ninomiya appeared behind it.

She seemed somewhat surprised to see Xu Ming and the Dean of Students visiting.

"Ninomiya-kun, Investigator Xu Ming needs your cooperation in some investigations."

The head of student affairs pushed up his glasses and got straight to the point.

Reika Ninomiya's expression returned to calm.

"I understand, please come in."

Just as the head of student affairs was about to enter Ninomiya Reika's room, Xu Ming suddenly stopped her.

"Teacher, may I speak with Ninomiya-kun alone?"

The dean of students' eyebrows immediately shot up.

When a man and a woman are alone in a room, her instinct is to object, but then she thinks that she needs his help, so after hesitating for a long time, she manages to hold back and not make a scene.

After entering the room, Xu Ming casually closed the door.

The sounds from the corridor were quickly shut out through the door.

Ninomiya Reika glanced at him, said nothing, just let one hand hang by her side, reached out the other to grasp her elbow, and stared at Xu Ming with a cold expression.

Xu Ming ignored her and began to carefully examine her room.

Compared to Shiori Hagiya and Chiharu Matsugawa's rooms, Reika Ninomiya's room was much quieter.

There seems to be only trace of one person living there.

"Are you the only one living in this room?"

As Xu Ming looked around at the room's furnishings, he casually asked a question.

"Yes."

Reika Ninomiya replied coldly.

Xu Ming pretended to observe the room, but secretly used the corner of his eye to observe Ninomiya Reika's changing expressions, and at the same time 'casually' said:

"I heard you have an older sister named Li Mei."

Xu Ming immediately noticed that Ninomiya Reika's cold expression changed slightly when he said those words.

"My sister has passed away, is there a problem?"

Reika Ninomiya's eyes flickered, and her expression became somewhat stiff, as if she was avoiding his question.

Seeing her performance, Xu Ming decided to take drastic measures.

"The one who passed away was Reika Ninomiya, and you, actually, are Reimi Ninomiya, right?"

His words struck like a thunderbolt in Reika Ninomiya's mind.

Reika Ninomiya—no, it should be said that Reimi Ninomiya's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about."

Seeing her performance, Xu Ming became even more certain of his suspicions.

"No, you definitely know!"

Xu Ming said decisively:

"For some reason, you killed your twin sister, Reika Ninomiya, but claimed it was an accident. Then you started impersonating your sister and have been living as her ever since."

Unfortunately, Shiori Hagiya and Reika Ninomiya are a couple. She might have already started to suspect you, am I right?

Reimi Ninomiya instantly felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into the sun, as if all the secrets hidden in her heart had been seen through.

Her emotions suddenly became agitated.

“I didn’t kill Lixiang! It was just an accident! We just had a fight, and I pushed her. I didn’t expect her to lose her balance and fall down the stairs.”

Shiori and she aren't a couple! I was the one who came first! I met Shiori first! I fell in love with Shiori first! I confessed first! Everything! Everything was first!

Reimi Ninomiya screamed hysterically.

Xu Ming shook his head seriously, his mind involuntarily recalling Ninomiya Reimi's behavior in front of the restroom yesterday.

"No, you don't like Shiori Hagamiya, you only like yourself."

"You're lying! You're a liar! You're not me, what right do you have to say that? You don't know anything at all!"

Xu Ming shook his head and didn't bother to argue with her.

After a long while, Reimi Ninomiya gradually calmed down and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you plan to do? Arrest me and send me to jail?"

Her voice became hoarse and low, filled with fatigue.

Xu Ming shook his head

"It's the police's job to put you in jail."

Then Xu Ming gave her a meaningful glance, his gaze sliding over her cervical spine.

"Besides, you have already been punished accordingly, so there is no need for me to meddle."

After leaving those words, Xu Ming opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Reimi Ninomiya sat back down on the bed with a dejected look on her face.

However, just before the door closed, a dressing mirror hanging behind the door turned, perfectly reflecting Reimi Ninomiya's image.

In that instant, something else seemed to be reflected in the mirror.

A figure dressed in Reien school uniform, with a bloody and mangled face, sat on Ninomiya Reimi's shoulders...

"How is it, Investigator?"

When Xu Ming came out, the dean of students immediately asked anxiously.

Xu Ming waved his hand.

"Don't worry, this was caused by something 'dirty,' I'll explain it to my superiors."

Upon hearing Xu Ming's assurance, the head of the teaching department immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm counting on you for everything!"

She bowed deeply to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming accepted it readily, and for some reason, he even felt a little secretly pleased.

This is probably the natural opposition between him, who was once a student, and a head of the teaching department like the dean of students.

Chapter 256 The Flames of Revenge Have Not Yet Died

Ding!

—The branch event 'Forever Together (2 stars)' has been resolved.

—The completion rate of the main story event 'Reien Girls' Academy (3 stars)' has increased significantly.

After reading the message, Xu Ming casually closed the system panel, lost in thought.

Judging from the results, it seems that eliminating the 'strange' is not the only way to resolve the incident.

Of course, 'eliminating' is the simplest and fastest method.

However, this conclusion at least provided Xu Ming with another perspective.

"What, you've only been apart for a day and you're already missing me?"

Karen sat on the armchair with her legs crossed, looking at Xu Ming with a playful expression, and shamelessly teasing him with flirtatious remarks.

Xu Ming ignored her and spoke directly.

"How much do you still know about the secrets of the church school back then? Tell me everything you know."

"Tch~ Impatient men are never popular with girls."

Karen showed a hint of displeasure.

However, when she faced Xu Ming's expressionless face, after a moment of stalemate, she had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you."

There's a chapel in Liyuan, you know?

"know."

Xu Ming nodded.
