Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

After resting for two days, she returned to Shuchiin to attend classes as usual.

Chapter 69 Holmes Jiu and Moria Fan

The case has been solved, and her friend Nishimiya Shoko has been acquitted and is going to school normally, but Nakano Miku is unwilling to go to school. This makes the other sisters of the Nakano family very worried, but they don't know what is going on.

So Nino and the others could only ask Yotsuba, after all, she was the only one who followed Miku to investigate.

But Yotsuba was also clueless and very confused. She said, "But the murderer is Ishida Masaya, and he committed the crime at the scene. I don't know what happened to Miku either."

This made Nino and the others very disappointed. They scolded Yotsuba for being an idiot and even got so angry that she was about to use violence.

But this is not a solution. No one knows why Miku's condition has taken a turn for the worse. Her father seems to know something, but he won't tell her. So in the end, Yotsuba can only ask Miku.

She entered Miku's room without knocking and found her lying on the bed listening to music. Her eyes seemed a little dazed and she looked very depressed.

Yotsuba came over and said loudly, "Cheer up, Miku."

Miku pursed her lips lightly but didn't say anything. Yotsuba could only sit down and said, "Miku, what happened? Wasn't the case solved?"

Then you should be happier. Although the final murderer is Ishida Shoya, whom you know, you are not very familiar with him, right?

At least that's what Yotsuba saw.

"If I could be as pure-minded as you, Yotsuba, that might be a kind of happiness." Miku said sincerely.

"What? Even you say I'm an idiot?" Siye said angrily. How could these guys take my kindness for granted? It was really infuriating.

Seeing this, Miku smiled faintly and said, "Hey, Yotsuba, what would happen if you were betrayed by someone you trusted?"

"Ah?" Yotsuba was a little confused.

"For example, if Fuutarou really cheated on you with Amano Berry and betrayed you."

"Fuutarou wouldn't do that."

"It's just a hypothetical."

"There is no such if!" Yotsuba said firmly.

Miku finally didn't force it, but just shook her head gently, and Yotsuba was a little confused. So, Miku was depressed because she was betrayed by someone she trusted?

"Anyway, today is the school anniversary and we all have the day off. And Ichika happens not to have to film today, so let's go out and play." Yotsuba suggested, mainly to help Miku relax.

At this moment, Miku's phone rang. After seeing the content of the message, she said, "Sorry, Yotsuba, I have an appointment today."

Yotsuba shouted in surprise: "Hey, where are you going?"

And why did he become so active? He looked like a lazy fish just now.

Mijiu stood up and began to look for her school uniform in the closet: "Go back to school."

And the person who made the appointment with her as shown on the phone was Nishimiya Shoko.

*

When I returned to school again, there was no one in school. The sky was gloomy at this moment. Spring rain is like this, continuous and endless, making people feel depressed, just like Miku at this moment.

The place where Nishimiya asked her to meet was the rooftop of the club activity building, but before going to the rooftop, she took a detour to the Service Club's office. She hadn't been there for almost a week, but to Miku's surprise, at this time, Hikigaya Hachiman actually appeared in the Service Club.

Normally speaking, he should still be resting in Kasumigaoka-sensei's apartment.

However, since Miku would deliberately take a detour here, she must have guessed that he would be here.

When he opened the door, he heard the words that were as indifferent as a scoring machine: "Excellent."

Hachiman looked back from the window, still wearing sunglasses, and said, "If you go straight to the rooftop to meet Nishimiya-san, I can only give you a passing grade."

Hachiman's inexplicable words further confirmed Miku's guess. She felt more and more sad and even a little angry.

"Put away your sunglasses. At this point, who are you still pretending to be blind for?" Mijiu could hardly suppress her emotions. She seldom spoke to others in such a tone, but she couldn't care less now.

Hachiman said nothing and silently took off his sunglasses, indirectly admitting that he was lying about his eye problems.

"Ye Shan told me that you have the potential to become a criminal police officer. I thought he was just being polite. I didn't expect that you are smarter than I thought. You have grown to this point just without my help for the first time."

Sanjiu lowered her head, her face full of sadness, and said: "You have given me enough hints. If I were really smart, I should have realized the truth and stopped her from going her own way."

Then, Miku looked up and said, "The first time I met Nishimiya-san was not when Ishida Shoya asked me to invite her, but earlier, when I was helping Inukai Karen-san to find Kota. Because she had a quarrel with Tsukishiro-san, I ran back to find you, and met a girl at the door of the Service Club. You said she was just asking for directions, so I didn't pay attention to it and didn't think about it. At that time, the girl was actually Nishimiya-san, and she wasn't just passing by, but came to the Service Club to ask you for a favor, right?"

"You told Inukai Karen that you have a way to buy sevoflurane. I originally thought you were just saying that. But in fact, you said that to me, because the anesthetic that Ishida-kun used to knock out Kawai Miki was sevoflurane. This is what you taught me, right? As long as you go to a pet hospital and use the excuse of sterilizing your pet, you can buy inhaled sevoflurane."

"You happened to go blind on the eve of the assault, just to deliberately avoid this incident, so I subconsciously ignored your existence."

"You said that Nishimiya Glass, who easily forgave her bully, should be nailed to a cross for people to worship. That's not a metaphor at all. You told me Nishimiya's identity a long time ago, but I didn't think about it at all."

"You said that you are Professor Moriarty and called me dear Miss Holmes. That was not a casual joke. Professor Moriarty and Holmes are on opposite sides."

Seeing Miku pointing out his "crimes" bit by bit, Hachiman's face became more and more delighted. He stretched out his hand, which contained a red umbrella. He said softly, "Put on the umbrella. It will rain soon. There is no shade on the rooftop."

However, Miku slapped Hachiman's hand away, glared at him, and said in a painful tone: "It was you who asked Nishimiya-san to approach me and make friends with me. Because there is a major flaw in the planning of this assault case, that is, Nishimiya-san cannot confess or be confessed too quickly. It is necessary to attract the attention of the police to facilitate Ishida-kun's revenge outside. In order to prevent the police from forcing him to confess, a strong force is needed to guarantee Nishimiya-san."

And this force is precisely myself who has become a friend of Nishimiya. Objectively speaking, Miku asked her father to restrict the behavior of the police. Instead, it created favorable conditions for Ishida-kun to act. In a sense, she became an accomplice.

Why was Miku depressed? Because after she learned the truth, she found herself betrayed by two people she trusted at the same time, which made her very sad.

Hachiman walked over, reached out his hand, and gently stroked her cheek. This time Miku did not refuse.

"I told you before, don't trust anyone easily. The subtext of this sentence is that you can't even trust my words easily. However, you did trust your own intuition."

"Why do you do this, Mr. Hikigaya?" Miku asked in pain.

Hachiman did not answer, but said: "Go up, she is waiting for you up there, you will know after you meet her."

Chapter 70: Sanjiu's Counterattack

Just as Hachiman predicted, when Miku arrived at the rooftop, it was already drizzling. But Miku still didn't reach out for the umbrella Hachiman handed over. She still couldn't forgive Hachiman's "betrayal".

On the rooftop, Nishimiya was holding a black umbrella, standing next to the guardrail, looking at the scenery around Shuchiin from afar.

As if Miku didn't want to get that close to her, she stopped about five meters away and said in a low voice, "Nishimiya-san, how does revenge feel?"

Nishimiya Glass, who heard Miku's voice, turned around, her expression even a little happy, she said: "Some people always say that there is nothing at the end of revenge, only emptiness, and only by forgiving the other party can you get peace of mind, but I find that this is all bullshit, Miku. As for me, I really enjoy this feeling of emptiness now. It's great to see those guys who bullied me in the past living a life worse than death. It's even better than killing them directly. From now on, they can only live in regret and hatred. But I have been freed, this kind of future is really good."

Miku looked at her fluent words and said, "So you have always been able to speak fluently."

Nishimiya Glass said: "You can always get it after so many years of practice. It's just that stuttering is more in line with your impression of people with hearing impairments."

Miku looked at her and became more and more sad. She said, "Is it just because of the bullying when you were a kid?"

Nishimiya Glass's voice calmed down and she said, "You know that's not the case. Someone has to be held responsible for Yuzuru's death. They are alive and have a bright future, while Yuzuru can only lie in a cold grave. Do you think this is fair?"

"Don't you deny that you were involved in the assault case?" Sanjiu said in a low voice.

"You brought a recorder, didn't you? As long as I admit it, you can use it as evidence to report me." Nishimiya Glass was no longer as gentle as before, and looked very sharp. It was as if the person she was in front of Miku before was fake.

"I'm not wearing that kind of thing, so you can rest assured. Even if you are the murderer who disfigured Kawai Miki, there is no evidence." Miku couldn't help but say.

Nishimiya Naoko's expression was a little stiff, but she soon calmed down: "You already know?"

"There is no evidence, it's just a simple guess that Kawai Miki was placed on the mural. Even a man like Ishida who has been training in athletics for a long time would find it difficult to do it alone, so there must be an accomplice." Miku said.

"But this doesn't mean that I was the one who disfigured Kawai Miki," said Nishimiya Glass.

"But, Nishimiya-san, if you really want revenge, will you really feel the pleasure of revenge if you use someone else as a pretext?"

Anyway, except for Kawai Miki, the murderer of the four assault cases was Ishida Masaya, there was definite evidence in the cases of Ueno Naoka and Takeuchi Kenji, and when Shimauchi and Hirose were attacked, Nishimiya was still in the police station. Only Kawai Miki's case was the only chance for Nishimiya to take revenge personally.

Nishimiya Glass was silent for a moment, then said: "As expected, Miku-san you are very good. Some people are good on the surface, like the Fuutarou classmate you like, but you, Miku-san, are good inside. You are right, I was the one who attacked Kawai Miki and disfigured her that night, and Ishida-kun just assisted me in nailing her to the mural."

There is nothing more boring than watching others help you avenge your enemies but not being able to kill them yourself.

In order to get away, she couldn't do anything to the four people behind her. But if she couldn't even do anything to Kawai Miki, her thoughts wouldn't make sense.

"But this is not the answer I want to hear." Miku said sadly. If Nishimiya denied it, maybe she would feel better. Now Nishimiya is no longer an accomplice, but one of the murderers of the wounding case.

This is a completely different nature of the crime.

But Nishimiya Glass had no intention of hiding anything at this moment, and continued, "Ishida Shoya is such an idiot. I just cried a little and lied to him, and he was willing to do so much for me."

Miku raised her head slightly and said, "But, Ishida-kun thanked me for helping you twice. Even after the arrest, he thanked me. He knew what I saw, and he thanked me for not telling the police."

Suddenly, Nishimiya Naoko's expression stiffened. Raindrops dripped onto the umbrella, dripped along the edge onto the slate tiles on the ground, and wet Nishimiya Naoko's round-toed shoes and white socks. Her voice was a little cold: "So what? In the final analysis, everything is because of him. If he hadn't taken the lead in bullying me when I was a child, Yuzuru wouldn't have died. He is just atonement. He deserves it!"

Miku looked at the girl and whispered, "Are you approaching me just to take advantage of my father's influence?"

"Originally, that was the case, but when I learned that you also suffered from depression, I felt that we had a common suffering. I really consider you a friend." Nishimiya Glass said sincerely.

Miku pursed her lips and said, "I say, Nishimiya-san, stop acting like your sister."

I don't know when it started, but Miku started calling the girl Nishimiya-san. Because Nishimiya Shoko and Nishimiya Yuzuru are both Nishimiya-san.

Nishimiya Glass was stunned for a moment, then said: "Are you kidding?"

Miku stood there and just said, "After Nishimiya Glass transferred to another school, she suffered from depression and tried to commit suicide. You and Aunt Nishimiya said that Nishimiya Glass's suicide attempt failed. But in fact, she succeeded. Since then, you have been playing the role of your sister and have made up your mind to avenge your dead sister."

Don't trust others easily, including Hikigaya Hachiman, and of course, the words of Nishimiya mother and daughter.

Nishimiya Glass was still a little confused and said: "Miku-san, I haven't denied that I am the murderer of the assault case. There is no need to speculate on the reasons for my crime."

"Then why would Ishida Shoya do this for you? He doesn't even know Nishimiya Yuzuru. If it was just your request, would he do this for Nishimiya Yuzuru's death?" Miku asked.

Nishimiya Glass shook her head and said, "Because what you just said is the reason why I deceived Ishida-kun. I told her that Nishimiya Glass is dead and I am Nishimiya Yuzuru, and he foolishly agreed to my revenge plan."

Miku's expression remained unchanged as she continued, "I saw a lot of photos of insects and dead small animals in your phone. Those are Nishimiya Yuzuru's habits of taking photos."

Nishimiya Glass's expression became a little stiff, and then she said, "I was just imitating the child's behavior. By doing that, I always feel that the child has not left and is still by my side."

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Sanjiu couldn't help but say, "I asked my father to find someone to investigate the person who helped the Nishimiya family collect the bodies. He still remembers the body that year. It was not the body of an elementary school student."

This is what Miku had asked her father to investigate. At that time, Nishimiya Yuzuru was an elementary school student. Since the body was not that of an elementary school student, then it must be someone else, that is, Nishimiya Shoko.

Nishimiya Glass couldn't help but shake her head, widening her eyes and saying, "That's just because Yuzuru was taller than others when he was in elementary school."

But Miku clearly saw from the posthumous photo that Yuzuru Nishimiya was a shorter type when he was in elementary school.

"Then why can you hear what I say clearly even though you're not wearing a hearing aid?"

Miku's unexpected words startled Nishimiya Glass. She subconsciously touched her ears and found that the hearing aid was on her ears. Then she looked at Miku and saw that she was already wet by the rain.

Was he just trying to scare her, or?

Miku looked at the girl calmly. In a sense, she won. If she was really Sherlock Holmes, she might be happy about it, but she was not.

"Nishimiya, although you have been pretending to be hearing-impaired, you are not. You have forgotten that the effective distance of ordinary hearing aids is only two or three meters, and I have been standing five meters away from you and talking to you, but you can hear it clearly."

Because from the moment she stepped onto the rooftop, Miku had already been making plans in order to confirm the other party's identity.

Chapter 71 I Hate You

The raindrops gradually became faster.

Faced with Nakano Miku's multiple pieces of evidence that something was wrong with Nishimiya Shoko, Nishimiya Yuzuru became a little confused.

From the moment her sister jumped off the bridge, Yuzuru Nishimiya replaced the existence named Nishimiya Shoko in this world and swore to avenge herself. However, gradually, when she got too used to playing the role of Nishimiya Shoko, sometimes she would forget who she really was.

"But if I'm not the sister, then where is the sister?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru has been evading the fact that Nishimiya Shoko is no longer in this world by pretending to be a sister. However, when this fact was pointed out by Nakano Miku in an irrefutable way, Nishimiya Yuzuru was at a loss.

Miku couldn't help but walk up, hugged Nishimiya Yuzuru, and said, "That's enough, Nishimiya-san, you've done enough, they've been punished, and you should be freed from your sister's restraints."

Miku still remembers the pair of warm hands in the train station, which belonged to Yuzuru Nishimiya. It was because she had a sister who suffered from depression that she was familiar with how to take care of Miku when she had an attack, which was the proof of Yuzuru Nishimiya's existence.

The umbrella slowly fell from Yuzuru Nishimiya's hand, and he looked up at the dark sky.

She whispered, "Miku-san, I actually always thought that it's not a bad thing for my sister to go to heaven. Because my sister is too pure and too beautiful, and an angel who is too pure has no place in this filthy world."

Therefore, Hachiman said that Nishimiya Glass should be nailed to the cross for people to worship. Because things that are too beautiful do not belong to the human world, Miku finally understood the meaning of Hachiman's words.

Nishimiya Yuzuru gradually looked at Miku, and then said: "So, make a choice, Miku-san. Now you know that I am one of the murderers of the assault case. Do you want the police to expose me, or pretend that you know nothing and help me conceal the crime? Make a choice, Miku-san. This is the homework he left for you."

For her, revenge was over and it was over, so it didn't matter what happened. Whether she was arrested by the police or lived freely, it didn't matter anymore. This was also part of the agreement she had made with the man.

Miku raised her head and looked at Nishimiya Yuzuru with her eyes wide open in shock.

*

Tick-tick, tick-tick, the rain kept dripping from Miku's body. When she went down the stairs, she found Hikigaya Hachiman standing there with his hands in his pockets, as if waiting for her arrival.

Once upon a time, Miku subconsciously regarded Hachiman as Doraemon.

Even though I always thought he was a bad guy, I was unconsciously relying on him in my heart.
