Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Some students who are curious about this posted a photo of Kawai Miki with her face half covered on the school forum. Although it was quickly deleted by the administrator, it has already gone viral in the student group.

Miku waited outside the school's infirmary for a while, and then saw Nishimiya Naoko and Ishida Masaya slowly walking out.

Ishida Masaya's hand was wrapped in gauze and it seemed that there was no serious problem.

Miku walked over to the two of them, and Ishida took the initiative to speak: "Thank you, Nakano-san. I heard from Nishimiya-san. If you hadn't distracted Kawai's attention, she wouldn't have let go so easily. And just now you wanted to help Nazuru block the knife. Anyway, I am very grateful to you."

Nishimiya Glass looked at Miku and said with difficulty in a strange voice: "Dou Xie Ni (Thank you)."

In fact, Miku was just confused at the time, and it was just a subconscious action. Now she is still afraid. If she had really stabbed her back with a knife at that time, despite this, Miku still shook her head and said, "As long as Nishimiya is okay, it's fine."

At this time, an adult man in a well-dressed suit came over and said to Nishimiya Glass and Ishida Masaya, "Hello, Nishimiya Glass, right? I am Inspector Aoyama Kotaro of the Tokyo Police Department. Regarding the 319 wounding case in Shuchiin, I hope you can go back and assist in the investigation. Of course, this Ishida Masaya will also be there."

Ishida Masaya's expression was tense, and he said, "I'm sorry, Nishimiya-san's hearing is not very good, is he just assisting in the investigation?"

Inspector Aoyama, who was described by Fuutarou as having dealt with the matter perfunctorily, said, "At the moment, we are just assisting in the investigation. Kawai Miki mentioned that you had some past conflicts, and we also need to understand them clearly before we can eliminate your suspicion."

Two days had passed, and since the scene was a student classroom, the fingerprints were very messy, and no valid fingerprints were extracted from the mural. There was no surveillance and no witnesses, so the police work came to a standstill.

However, this case itself has attracted great attention from all walks of life. One can imagine how much pressure the police officer in charge of the case, Aoyama, is under.

At this time, Kawai Miki, as the victim, pointed out a direction for investigation, which was naturally taken seriously.

Of course, there is currently no evidence that these two children did it, and after understanding the situation, Qingshan also felt that it was not reasonable to carry out such a highly purposeful and planned revenge just because of childhood bullying.

The criminal's purpose seems to be to destroy everything of Kawai Miki.

Of course, Inspector Aoyama has seen many unreasonable cases during his years as a police officer, so he naturally had to investigate the two children as suspects.

Miku wanted to speak for Nozomi with some distress, but she really had no evidence to prove Nozomi's innocence, so she could only watch the police take the two away.

Suddenly, Miku thought of someone, and then she hurriedly walked towards the Service Club, but found that the Service Club was empty and the person she wanted to find was not there. Miku stood there for a while, and then she found that she didn't have Hikigaya Hachiman's phone number and contact information. Ichika and Nino might have remembered a place. So she hurried to the school gate, but found that Yotsuba seemed to be waiting for her.

"I just saw Nishimiya Glass and a boy being taken away by the police, and I knew you couldn't sit still." Yotsuba said directly.

"I'm going to go find Mr. Hikigaya." Miku wanted to leave after saying that. It was still a bit awkward to talk to Yotsuba now.

"I'll go with you." Yotsuba said with some surprise.

A puzzled expression appeared on Miku's face, as if asking, why?

Yotsuba said, "The way you took the initiative to attract Kawai-san in the classroom just now made me feel that you, Miku, have become more powerful. So I want to see with my own eyes the person who made you change so much."

In fact, Miku herself didn’t feel much. Has she changed?

The changes in yourself are always felt first by those closest to you.

"Besides, we have to protect your safety." Yotsuba said with a smile.

After all, as long as the murderer is not caught, Shuchiyuan cannot be said to be safe.

And Yotsuba is somewhat confident in her motor skills.

Because she was anxious, Miku did not refuse her sister and took her to Kasumigaoka teacher's apartment.

When they arrived at the apartment door, a security guard stopped them, but Mijiu knew the building and floor as well as the names of the tenants, so the security guard quickly made a call.

"Um, Kasumigaoka-sensei, I'm Nakano Miku, and I'd like to see Mr. Hikigaya."

After a moment of silence, the other party said, "Why did you come to me to look for that guy? Nakano-san, don't you think you did something wrong?"

"Is Mr. Hikigaya here?" Miku asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Shiyu replied.

Then, a faint laugh came from the other side of the intercom, and even Yotsuba's expression next to her became strange.

Soon, the security guard opened the door and let the two in, and also kindly helped the Nakano sisters swipe their cards to get on the elevator.

After a while, the two sisters stood at the door and rang the doorbell. After a while, the black door opened, and Miku saw that Teacher Kasumigaoka's originally long black hair was tied up into a high ponytail. She was wearing an apron with a bear pattern and holding a spatula in her hand, looking like a full-time housewife.

Teacher Kasumigaoka seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing the Nakano sisters coming, she seemed a little conflicted, but she still said, "Come in."

After that, he opened the door and welcomed the two people in, and then San Si smelled a faint burnt smell.

When I came to the living room, I saw Hachiman, with his eyes covered with a bandage, sitting at the dining table. On his face was a glass of green tea. His expression was very indifferent, as if he were an otherworldly sage.

"I didn't expect Yotsuba-san would be here too. Would you like some tea? I just got some good tea leaves." As he spoke, he raised the cup and took a sip of the scalding hot tea.

Hikigaya Hachiman has a problem with his eyes. Yotsuba has already heard about it from Miku, and is now even more surprised: "How did you know it was me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tidied her hair to make herself look neater, then said, "This bastard said it was because of the footsteps, and because every girl has a different smell. Anyway, he's just talking nonsense, don't listen to his nonsense."

Hachiman chuckled and said, "That's right, so Yotsuba-san doesn't need to be surprised. Just like Nishimiya Glass-san. Even if she can't hear, there are many ways for her to understand your conversations. With a little training, even people who have lost their sight can tell who is coming. This is not a particularly magical skill."

Yotsuba nodded slowly.

Sanjiu said with some surprise: "Do you know why we came to see you?"

Otherwise, why would I rashly mention Nishimiya-san?

Hachiman said, "Is this difficult to guess? In the morning, Kawai Miki attacked her classmates with a knife. Teacher Kasumigaoka received the news in the faculty group immediately. The person she attacked was Nishimiya Glass. As one of your few friends, your purpose in coming to me is self-evident."

"Then, Mr. Hikigaya, do you think Nishimiya-san is the murderer? If not, who could it be?" Miku couldn't help but ask.

Hachiman, however, gave an incomprehensible smile and said, "I don't have any news to tell you about this matter."

Miku tilted her head slightly. She was used to Hachiman's style of having his own ideas about everything, and he would even force her to make decisions, as if nothing could not be solved as long as he was there. Therefore, when Miku encountered a problem, she subconsciously wanted to consult Hachiman, but the answer she got was such that she felt a little distressed, like the discomfort of a fledgling about to leave the nest.

"If you want to know something, how about trying to investigate it yourself?" Hachiman said softly.

Miku pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment, and Hachiman said again: "Okay, let's stop here. Do you want to stay for dinner? Although I have been preparing for breakfast until now, I have changed my mind to preparing for lunch and have not eaten anything yet."

Shi Yu said angrily, "I told you to order takeout and you just disagreed!"

Hachiman said calmly, "I don't eat takeout. When I was taking care of you, did I ever let you eat takeout for a meal?"

"Then just wait for me. You won't starve to death!" Shi Yu said in a rough voice.

They look like a couple, both in their dress and in the atmosphere. Even their fluffy slippers are couple styles.

Miku was a little speechless, but what Hachiman said just now was to send her off, so Miku could only say: "Then Kasumigaoka-sensei, we'll leave first."

"Hey, are you really not going to eat lunch here before leaving? It's almost ready, just add a pair of chopsticks. Don't listen to what that bastard says, this is my home." Shiyu said hospitably.

Then I heard Hachiman's sneer: "This is the nth time you've burnt your eggs. Is it the third or fourth time? You have the nerve to say it's almost done?"

Every time she tried to act like a virtuous and mature teacher, this bastard would come to ruin her act. Shiyu put her hands on her hips and said, "You guy, you want to pick a fight, right?"

"Well, Mr. Kasumigaoka, you're welcome. Our family has already cooked for us." Yotsuba said politely, finally knowing what that burnt smell was.

After Shiyu sent the two sisters out, she closed the door and came back like a machine gun, asking, "Hey, Hikigaya Hachiman, you're not right."

Hachiman smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong?"

"A high school girl came to you and gave you the opportunity to show off in public, but you chased her away without saying a word?" Shi Yu asked curiously.

"But I'm blind now and can't see anything. Everything I know is what you told me." Hachiman said.

But Shiyu was still suspicious and waved in front of Hachiman, but he didn't respond: "I'm starting to doubt why you're blind. It's too coincidental that a vicious case happened right after you became blind. Do you really not know who the murderer is?"

Hachiman suddenly laughed, and then said, "Remember how I told you that Nakano Yotsuba was here too?"

Shiyu nodded and said, "Based on the sound of footsteps and the smell of women, you have said it more than once."

Hachiman's expression turned mysterious: "Then I said this is a lie, there is actually a simpler method, what do you think it is?"

Shiyu didn't guess, and said, "You can say it if you want."

Hachiman was not disappointed and said softly, "It's very simple, I just have to pretend to be blind."

Pretending to be blind does not mean you are really blind, so of course you can see.

Shi Yu's eyes widened: "You bastard, you are really pretending, just to trick me into taking care of you."

Hachiman laughed and said, "I was kidding. If you don't believe me, just blind me."

In the end, Shiyu still looked skeptical and asked, "You still haven't answered my question, who is the murderer?"

"How should I know? I'm blind." Hachiman said with a smile.

Shiyu wanted to punch them both, but Hachiman said, "Look at the sky outside. It's going to rain heavily again."

"How can a blind man like you see the sky?" Shi Yu said angrily.

And you still say you are not fooling me?

"You'll know if you just feel the wind," Hachiman said seriously.

"So, hurry up and put away your clothes," he said, waving his hand.

Shiyu had a head full of question marks. She seemed to understand something, but also understood nothing. She was almost fooled by this guy.

The next day, when Miku returned to school, she heard a piece of news.

Another student was attacked.

The student who was attacked this time was called Ueno Naoka.

Chapter 58: Ueno Naoka's Punishment

Except for Class F of Grade 3 which was dismissed early due to an accident, other classes in Xiuzhiyuan continued to operate as usual. There is no reason to suspend classes as soon as there is any noise. This further confirms the safety issue of Xiuzhiyuan and will put more pressure on the board of directors and the faculty committee.

However, most students, including teachers, are no longer in the mood to focus on the classroom, and police officers can be seen patrolling back and forth in the school.

Perhaps it was in line with the atmosphere of impending storm, the cloudy weather started to rain heavily at noon. Although the rainfall began to slow down after school in the afternoon, most students who did not have parents to pick them up still had to wait for a long time before they could go home with umbrellas.

This includes Naoka Ueno.

"Hate it, my loafers and socks are all dirty. This weather is so nasty, nothing good ever happens." The girl who was leaving school with Ueno Naoka complained dissatisfiedly.

This is a member of Ueno Naoka's small group. The girl next to her said, "Indeed, I heard that Kawai Miki brought a knife back to school and almost stabbed someone."

"How terrible—" the girl smiled as if it had nothing to do with her.

"But if my face was scratched like this, I would just jump off the rooftop. What's the point of living this life?"

"She deserves it. I heard from my friends in the track and field club that Kawai is a bitch. She's so pretentious and disgusting."

"Hahaha, so the murderer was also executing justice."

For a girl like Kawai Miki, who is considered a good girl by teachers and boys, she is usually not highly regarded by girls.

Ueno Naoka listened silently, just holding her umbrella and not saying anything.

"Hey, why did I hear that you, Naoka, and Kawai were classmates in elementary school?"

Ueno Naoka said, "Well, we were in the same class in elementary school, but we didn't know each other very well."

There was no way she could tell the story of what happened in their elementary school days.

One girl jokingly said, "Zhihua, you should be careful too, what if the murderer is specifically targeting people from your elementary school?"

Everyone was laughing until they reached a fork in the road, where Naoka Ueno said goodbye to the rest of the group and walked alone on another road holding an umbrella.

For some reason, Naoka Ueno recalled her elementary school experiences.

In fact, when Nishimiya Shoko just turned around, she was very enthusiastic to help Nishimiya Shoko. It was like giving up your seat to an elderly person on the bus, which gave her some satisfaction. But after a long time, Ueno became a little impatient to take care of Shoko. To put it bluntly, she was just tired of it.

If that were the case, it would be fine. However, one time, their homeroom teacher, Mr. Takeuchi, asked the whole class whether they should learn sign language to help Nishimiya Glass integrate into the class, but Ueno was the first to stand up and oppose it. Because it was too troublesome, she didn't want to learn such a thing for Nishimiya Glass. With Ueno taking the lead, the whole class began to remain silent, and many students were unwilling to learn sign language for Nishimiya Glass.

Screw the collective sense of honor, I don’t have it.

However, Sawara, who was close to Nishimiya Shoko, was the second to stand up and said that she was willing to learn sign language. Sawara was praised by the teacher, and other students also applauded. Although Ueno didn't have to learn sign language, she was very angry.

When she was unwilling to give up her seat to the old man again, Sawara's behavior made her look like a clown.

So Ueno started to say bad things about Sawara, and he said it in front of Sawara, which eventually led to Sawara's transfer to another school. Nishimiya Shoko became alone again, and then started to be bullied by Ishida Shoya. Although Ueno did not particularly hate Nishimiya Shoko, he was just annoyed by her. It was only because he liked Ishida that Ueno supported the bullying of Shoko.

Then, their bullying of Nishimiya Glass was exposed, and the school and parents asked for a thorough investigation, but Teacher Takeuchi put all the blame on them. But the bastard knew about the bullying and didn't stop it. He even made fun of Nishimiya Glass. In order to prevent this matter from affecting his work, he put all the blame on Ishida.

Later, it was Ishida's turn to be bullied. Ueno liked him and didn't want to bully him, but at that time, if she didn't bully Ishida, she would be bullied. She had no other choice.

Everything became bad because of Nishimiya Shoko's arrival.

What made Ueno even more angry was that when Ueno was forced to write dirty words on Ishida's desk, Ueno found that Nishimiya Shoko had wiped off all the dirty words on Ishida's desk. Ueno was shocked. She couldn't understand the other party's kindness. Why would someone take the initiative to help someone who bullied her? Looking at Shoko like this, she remembered herself who was forced to bully Ishida, and a deep sense of inferiority surged into Ueno's heart. So, she began to retaliate against Nishimiya Shoko, piled mud on Shoko's shoes, and continued to bully Shoko until she transferred to another school. She also gradually drifted away from others and parted ways with Ishida.

Until that day when Ishida appeared in front of her again with Nishimiya Shoko. In fact, although she now feels that her actions when she was a child were childish, she still doesn't like the timid Nishimiya Shoko. Becoming friends with the current Nishimiya Shoko is just Ishida's request. After all, this is the first time he has contacted her in such a long time. It is an opportunity to repair the relationship with Ishida, and Ueno doesn't want to give up.

The rain gradually began to get heavier, and the rain began to wet his shoulders. Ueno felt a little annoyed, as there was not a single pedestrian on the road.

Then, Naoka Ueno saw a man in a yellow raincoat standing not far away. What was even more bizarre was that on top of the yellow raincoat was a huge monkey head.

A chill ran down Ueno Naoka's spine, and then she saw the monkey head rushing towards her with a stick.
