Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Ueno Naoka was like an ordinary high school girl. She was so scared that she let go of her umbrella and squatted on the ground, trembling.

Seeing this, Monkey Head slowed down his pace and stood in front of Ueno Naoka. He slowed down the movement of raising the stick in his hand, as if he did not expect that Ueno Naoka would not resist at all.

At the moment when the monkey head relaxed its vigilance, the frightened Ueno Naoka actually threw herself into the monkey head's arms. Then she held something black in her hand and pressed it against the monkey head's body.

The monkey head screamed, then fell to the ground, and the stick also fell to the ground, seemingly unconscious.

Naoka Ueno was breathing heavily, her hands were shaking slightly, and she was holding something that looked like an electric shock device.

Ueno Naoka was also very excited at this moment, and panted and said: "Thank you, Kawai"

It turned out that not long after Kawai woke up, he informed Ueno Naoka to be careful. So she bought this electric shock device that can shock people unconscious from an unofficial online channel, and pretended to be panicked to let the monkey head relax its vigilance, and then took the opportunity to fight back.

Although the process went very smoothly, Ueno was only a high school girl after all. Her body was shaking violently and her whole body was wet from the rain. Looking at the monkey head lying motionless on the ground, Ueno Naoka thought, could this guy be dead?

"Did I kill someone?" Suddenly, Ueno Naoka became a little panicked.

However, what she wanted to confirm now was who was hiding under the leather cover of the monkey's head.

She gripped the stun gun tightly, walked over slowly, and then with some difficulty, took off the large leather case.

The moment she saw the face under the leather case, Ueno Naoka was stunned. But it was really because of this moment of negligence that the man under the yellow raincoat suddenly jumped up, picked up the stick next to him and hit Ueno Naoka on the head.

Suddenly Ueno felt dizzy and fell to the ground. The man under the monkey's head kicked her electric shock device into the river and then sat on her.

At this time, Naoka Ueno had not yet lost consciousness, and she looked at the murderer sitting on her with unfocused eyes.

"Why?" Ueno Naoka asked in confusion.

The man under the monkey's head took out two long steel needles that looked like knitting needles from his pocket and said, "Ueno, since you were a child, you have always felt that you are always right and others are always wrong. You have a beauty that others don't have. So you are always a little self-righteous. You are superior to most people. This is not your fault. It's just because you can't understand the pain of the weak, so you can't empathize with them."

"Why why!" At the moment, the unconscious Ueno Naoka could only ask this.

The man covered two steel needles with his hands and then stabbed them into Ueno Naoka's ears.

"Ueno, there are some mistakes that cannot be made, so from now on, you will also experience the pain of the weak, which will probably allow you to reflect on yourself."

"Oh, sorry, you can't hear me anymore."

Chapter 59: False Accusation

If you want to know, how about investigating it yourself?

Miku really wrote down what Hachiman said, so when she heard that Ueno Naoka was attacked, she turned around and ran to the hospital. She contacted Teacher Kasumigaoka and learned the address of the hospital where Ueno Naoka was admitted.

However, after arriving at the hospital, she met Mayu at the door of the ward, and Miku quickly explained her purpose.

May said: "Ueno Naoka and I are in the same class. After she got into trouble, the teacher wanted to bring a student representative to visit. Because I was late, so wow, wow, wow, the teacher caught me."

In fact, May is not familiar with Ueno Naoka. The other party has her own small circle, which has nothing to do with May.

Miku nodded slightly, then asked, "Can I go in and see Ueno-san now?"

May looked at Miku suspiciously. Miku had nothing to do with her, but May still said, "Ueno-san hasn't woken up yet. No one except family members can go in to visit. The teacher just talked to the police to find out the situation. It is said that Ueno-san's eardrums were punctured by sharp objects, and his hearing will be seriously affected. His head was also hit by a hard object. I don't know when he will wake up."

When Miku heard that Ueno Naoka would become deaf, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression became shocked.

"What's wrong, Miku, did I say something strange just now?" May asked.

The girl came to her senses and shook her head. There was no point in staying here. After all, Ueno Naoka didn't seem to wake up for a while. After saying goodbye to May, Miku walked to the door, but unexpectedly found that Inspector Kotaro Aoyama, who was in charge of the case, and his men were smoking.

However, now Inspector Aoyama had his back to Miku, so he did not recognize her. As the person in charge, it was natural for Inspector Aoyama to return to the hospital because another accident happened to a student at Shuchiin.

But at this moment he looked quite miserable, his suit was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot. He was answering the phone with a very respectful tone, as if he was apologizing all the time. Miku stopped aside, lowered her head and pretended to play with her mobile phone.

As soon as Inspector Qingshan hung up the phone, his police officer asked, "Master, is this another call from the chief?"

Superintendent Qingshan sneered, "No, it was the Superintendent General calling to inquire about the progress of my case. It was indeed a case that happened in Shuzhiyuan. The Superintendent General's niece also studied there. He asked me to give an explanation within 24 hours."

These guys sitting on the dais turned into pressure monsters, and in the end all the pressure fell on his shoulders.

The new police officer continued, "Fortunately, we have now confirmed the murderer's crime plan. It is obvious that Ueno Naoka became deaf in revenge for her bullying of Nishimiya Shoko in elementary school."

Although it is unfair to Ueno Naoka, the occurrence of the second case can basically confirm the direction of the investigation.

"I just didn't expect that we had just finished questioning and they continued to take action without waiting for the next day. Haha, they are really brave." At this time, Inspector Aoyama looked gloomy and full of resentment.

But the new police officer said in distress: "The most troublesome thing now is that we have no evidence. It doesn't seem reasonable for her to retaliate so brutally in high school just because of bullying in elementary school. Moreover, I have investigated Nishimiya Naoko's growth experience. It is hard to imagine that such a kind and submissive child would suddenly burst out with such a strong desire for revenge."

Inspector Qingshan said coldly, "You didn't read enough files. The more introverted a person is, the more likely they are to go to extremes. Don't assume the murderer's criminal mentality."

The new police officer said, "Master, what should we do now? The scene was washed clean by the rain, and there is no useful evidence left. We don't know when Ueno Naoka will wake up."

Inspector Qingshan's expression became increasingly ugly; the twenty-four-hour deadline seemed to be a tight ring around his neck.

Finally, he said calmly: "If necessary, arrest Nishimiya Naoko first. From the facts we have so far, she is the most suspicious."

More importantly, it allows him to take a breather.

The new police officer looked a little confused and said, "But how can we convict her? We don't have much evidence in both cases."

Inspector Aoyama's expression became strange, and he said, "Who said there is no such thing? Didn't we find Nishimiya Naoko's fingerprints at the scene of the attack on Kawai Miki?"

"But, but that is"

The classroom of Class F of the second year, and Nishimiya Shoko is a student here. She takes classes here, so it would be strange if there were no fingerprints of hers.

But in the end, under the pressure of Inspector Qingshan's eyes, the rookie policeman didn't say anything.

Now Kotaro Aoyama is under a lot of pressure, the chief is under a lot of pressure, the superintendent is under a lot of pressure, and all the high-ranking officials and celebrities whose children are studying at Shuchiin are putting pressure on the police through their own channels. They are all waiting for an answer.

The criminal tendency exposed in the two cases now seems more like revenge against a specific target. Therefore, the harm to other students is not great. Therefore, giving an explanation to all parties first is the safest choice.

Mijiu listened to the entire conversation between the two police officers, then left quietly, feeling extremely anxious.

Now the police plan to arrest Nishimiya Shoko first to relieve their own pressure, regardless of whether she is the real murderer or not.

But if the murderer is not Nozomi, and the murderer stops committing crimes after seeing that Nozomi has been arrested, will the police let Nozomi go due to insufficient evidence, or will they forcibly establish the fact that Nozomi committed the crime?

Miku was very interested in suspense crime dramas for a while, and she also read a lot of mystery novels and even looked for many real cases. She didn't have much hope for the ethics of the police in this country. After all, Nozomi's family was not among the high-ranking officials and celebrities, and no one would care if she sacrificed herself, and it would also save many people's jobs.

Miku quickly contacted Nozomi on LINE and asked her where she was.

Even now, Glass still responded slowly.

"In front of the tram stop, getting ready for school."

So Miku sent her a message.

"Wait for me ten minutes, I'll come find you."

"Hey, why?"

"Please, wait for me."

"Ok."

Miku turned off her phone and wanted to ask for clarification, wanting to know if Nozomi was the murderer. Although the answer might not necessarily be the truth, if Nozomi was the murderer, she would definitely deny it.

But deep down, Miku still didn't want to believe that this girl who was too kind would do such a cruel thing.

Being bullied as a child is certainly an unbearable past, but committing such a brutal crime for it is another matter.

If Glass denied it, she would not let the police convict her even if they used her father's power.

Chapter 60: The Second Bullying of Nozomi

Miku took a taxi and arrived at the tram station where Naoko was within ten minutes. When she got off the tram, she saw Naoko looking at her with some confusion.

"Won't it be expensive to take a taxi?" Glass sent a text message quickly.

As a common girl living among the rich second generation, she still cannot understand some of their luxurious lifestyle habits.

"Because I'm in a hurry." Although she wanted to ask as soon as possible, she found it so difficult to ask after seeing her in person. Moreover, seeing that Glass still cared about these details as usual, it was even harder for Miku to believe that she was the murderer.

Glass poked Miku gently and said in a sharp and strange voice: "We're going to be late."

After that, he pulled Miku to the train station. Miku followed subconsciously, but after the two high school girls got on the train, Miku realized the problem, it was too crowded. After all, it was the peak time for classes and work, but this was tantamount to torture for Miku, who suffered from male phobia due to depression.

Even though he wasn't a pervert or something, it was inevitable that people were crowded together in the carriage where one had to be pushed in by staff outside before the door could be closed. Having come into contact with men, Miku's stress response immediately kicked in, and she even forgot the purpose of coming here. Her face turned pale, her breathing became rapid, and her body trembled slightly. It was only a ten-minute drive, but every second now felt like hell.

Perhaps normal people would not understand this feeling. It's just riding a tram, how can you feel painful? It's really exaggerated.

But in fact, the body's reactions never listen to Miku herself.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands held Miku's clenched fists.

Miku looked at Nozomi and found that her eyes were full of warmth.

"No problem, I'm here." Glass's strange voice attracted the attention of the people around. But for Miku now, it was tantamount to salvation.

Miku focused her attention on Nozomi, and then tried to empty her mind and not think about anything. In this way, although it was still uncomfortable, it gradually became bearable.

Nishiko seems to understand very well what it's like when people with depression show symptoms, and now she helps Miku at the right time.

Finally, the train started announcing the stops, and Miku got out of the car impatiently. After leaving the station, the crowd thinned out a bit, and Miku regained her composure.

"Is everything okay?" Compared to usual, Glass has been talking a lot.

Miku said gratefully: "Thank you, Nishimiya-san."

If it weren't for her, Sanjiu suspected that she would suffocate.

Miku's cell phone rang, and there came a text message from Nozomi that she had just sent.

"We are friends."

After reading it, Miku hummed heavily.

"Let's go back to school."

At this moment, Miku finally remembered the purpose of her meeting with Nozomi, but after what happened just now, Miku became more and more unconvinced that such a gentle Nozomi would be the murderer.

"Nishimiya-san!" Suddenly, Miku's voice became louder. Glass looked up curiously, with a hint of doubt on her face.

Are you the murderer?

However, before Miku made up her mind to ask, a police siren sounded on the roadside, and someone said behind Miku: "Ms. Nishimiya Glass, we now suspect that you are related to the two cases of causing disability in Shuchiyuan. Here is an arrest warrant. Please come with us."

And this voice is very familiar, Miku turned around and saw that it was Aoyama Kotaro who was standing at the hospital entrance.

After all, is it too late?

Glass was surrounded and taken away by the police. Her expression was very calm, as if she was not too surprised.

Is it because I have been prepared in my heart, or is it because I still don’t understand the situation.

But just when Miku was feeling powerless, she saw Naoko turn around and say to her, "No problem, I'm here."

*

The news of Nishimiya Shoko's arrest spread quickly throughout Shuchiin. After all, it was a busy train station, and the students of Shuchiin were not so exaggerated as to take private cars to school. The school forum quickly spread the photos of Shoko being arrested by the police, which were taken by students.

It's not like no one listened to what Kawai Miki said when she attacked Nishimiya Naoko in class that day. So the bullying incident that had been forgotten in childhood was brought to the fore again.

Some people who hate bullying said that Nishimiya Shoko did a good job and the bullies deserved to die. It was a pity that she was so gentle and only caused disfigurement and deafness. The two girls who participated in the bullying should be killed.

This comment was quickly deleted by the administrator, and I was called in by the dean for a lecture shortly afterwards. After all, the school forum is not a lawless place.

Some people said that Nishimiya Glass was really making a big deal out of nothing. She still remembered the bullying in elementary school. It was not a big deal, but she still planned to retaliate. This kind of person has psychological problems.

Then someone refuted such remarks, citing cases at home and abroad where people were bullied since childhood and were affected for life, to express the devastating impact that bullying has on the growth of normal people.

In short, there are all kinds of speeches, and what is strange is that the administrator of the school forum did not delete the threads of these topics, but just did not allow the publication of too extreme remarks.

Miku read all these comments back and forth and found that their discussions were all based on the premise that Nishimiya Shoko was the murderer.

"Because this is the instruction of the board of directors. Through this discussion, a signal is sent out that the murderer has been arrested and Xiuzhiyuan is safe again. It is not for these students who are caught up in the heated discussion, but for the parents behind them. The daily operation and maintenance of the school forum is the responsibility of our student union."

Chairman Uesugi Fuutarou said this at the Nakano family dinner table.

"But what if Nishimiya is not the murderer?" Miku couldn't help but ask.

It was normal for Fuutarou to appear at the Nakano family's table. Even Nakano Maruo had come home for dinner after a long absence. Except for Ichika who was not at home due to filming, everyone in the Nakano family was here, so naturally, this topic became a topic of conversation.

"What the board of directors means is that we should wait until it's proven that Nishimiya is not the murderer or the real murderer is caught. At that time, it will most likely be just a public announcement to clarify." Fuutarou said in a low voice.

But if that happens, how can Naoko continue to study at Shuchiin? If the police cannot catch the murderer and cannot prove that Naoko is the murderer, then Naoko will always be labeled as a "criminal suspect" in Shuchiin.

How is this different from bullying?

Miku suddenly remembered what the police did. She whispered, "Both the police and the school are just using Nishimiya as a scapegoat. What you are doing is no different from what Kawai Miki and the others did to Nishimiya in elementary school."

This is also bullying, and it is bullying on a larger scale that is tacitly accepted by "society".
