"Besides, Xingchuan didn't show up for the morning meeting on Friday! This is also one of the reasons why I doubt her!"

Chun Zongjing's deskmate immediately nodded and said:

"Come to think of it, I opened my eyes dazedly when I heard the voice, and saw a figure that looked very much like Xingchuan swaying in front of Huamei's desk. I was very sleepy at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, I told Xiaojing about it, and she said she saw it too. I thought, maybe it really is Xingchuan..."

"...Okay, now everyone can prove it!"

Iue Fumio's expression immediately turned smug. "Everything indicates that the necklace was obviously sold by Hoshikawa that day. Your name is Amamiya, right? What else do you have to say to defend her now?!"

"I've told you, don't worry."

Amemiya Yi looked at the ridiculous smugness on her face and said indifferently with an expressionless face.

"On April 4th, I suddenly decided to set up a department, so I applied with Suzuki-sensei as my instructor and was accepted."

"The portable classroom is in classroom 606 of the fourth teaching building, on the top floor of this building. It happens to be the last portable classroom left. No one has used it for a whole year, so it must be quite derelict..."

Hearing this, Suzuki and Hoshikawa reacted at the same time, but Iue Fumio, who didn't understand, interrupted with an unhappy look on his face:

"——What do you want to say? What do those insignificant things have to do with this matter?"

Amamiya Yi ignored her and continued.

"On April 4th, at 14: in the morning, I entered the campus as usual and went to the top floor of the teaching building to confirm the specific condition of the portable classroom, to check its degree of dereliction of duty, and to determine how long it would take to clean it up."

"But just then, I discovered a young girl in the long-abandoned classroom. She was wearing a black mask, sitting quietly by the window, looking at the school scenery, sighing sadly from time to time. When will I, who am not honest, be able to make a friend?"

Hearing this description, Iue Fumio's brows jumped and he felt something was wrong.

Could it be that...

"——As a weak and ordinary female student, I was very scared, so I went to find Mr. Suzuki. I learned that the girl was a well-known bad girl in Class J. All the classmates disliked her and were afraid of her."

"But when I asked her what she had done, Suzuki-sensei told me."

"Hoshikawa-kun, you didn't do anything."

"On the contrary, her grades are pretty good. She never talks back to her teachers or argues with any classmates. She just has no friends and usually lives alone. She's not good at dressing up and is very shy."

"For some reason, it seems someone mistook her poor communication skills for indifference, her isolation for untouchable terror. While refusing to understand, they pretended to have been stabbed, passing unverified information around. Thus, today, we have the isolated [Bad Girl]."

She raised her head again without changing her expression and looked around.

At this time, it was almost time for class and almost the entire class was there. At the same time, many students from other classes had heard a brown bear running in the corridor and gathered to watch.

It seemed that the voices of the few people present were not loud, and most people were very curious about what was going on, so they were eavesdropping quietly. Even if someone spoke, they would be reminded by the people next to them as if they were watching a movie in a cinema.

At this moment, several people, including the students in the corridor outside, subconsciously avoided her gaze.

She silently withdrew her gaze and continued to speak to the others:

"After learning the truth, I decided to negotiate and become her first friend."

"So, I asked for leave from my homeroom teacher and went to the activity room with Ms. Suzuki to have a conversation. To make sure what she said was true, I asked Ms. Suzuki to eavesdrop outside the door window and take some secret photos."

Xingchuan's eyes widened as he looked at Miss Brown Bear beside him in disbelief. "It's not enough that you eavesdropped, but you also recorded it?!"

The very large Ms. Suzuki scratched her head awkwardly, like a brown bear. "We're doing this for your own good..."

After hearing this, almost everyone present understood.

Amamiya Yi seemed to be worried that some people might still argue and doubt, so she spoke in more detail:

"The conversation that day lasted from 6:50 a.m. until I left shortly after the morning shift began. The entire process was recorded. The video footage, with the time stamp, is on Mr. Suzuki's phone."

Suzuki Shinchun immediately took out her cell phone, opened the recycle bin, pulled out the video that was almost deleted, and showed the recording time to a few people.

2019年4月14日,6点58分。

The video is 1 hour and 43 minutes long, which means it lasts until 8:41 in the morning.

"I assume that our sudden argument and the incident I stumbled upon happened within no more than ten minutes. With something that happened so suddenly, we wouldn't have had time to fabricate evidence and create such a long video, right?"

"Five or six hundred thousand yen might seem like a lot to a high school student, but it's a drop in the bucket for Mr. Suzuki, who has a wealthy family. It's impossible for us to have banded together and planned this dispute that Iue-san started, right?"

The cold young girl delivered the final interrogation slowly and calmly like a judge.

"Excuse me, Iue Kaoru-san, Tsubaki Sokyō-san."

"A person who had never even set foot in the 1st Grade J class classroom on Friday morning, but had been talking to me in classroom 606 since : AM, and was secretly recorded by Mr. Suzuki."

"How did she manage to steal Hanami's necklace, which she had left on the desk in the 1st-year J class classroom at around o'clock?"

The cold and emotionless voice echoed in the classroom, but the silence at this moment gave a deafening answer.

impossible.

This is an alibi.

An alibi that has been left since the moment the story began.

At this moment, the winner has been decided. According to the current situation, Hoshikawa Kitaka's suspicion has been cleared, and Iue Fumio and Tsubaki Kyoto are speechless.

"You asked everyone about the necklace theft, but you didn't ask Hoshikawa herself... But that doesn't matter now. In this matter, you were nothing more than a knife, borrowed by someone who thought they were righteous, but in reality, you were just a pawn."

"Of course, if things ended here, it would be a bit anticlimactic."

Amemiya turned her gaze to the increasingly pale Tsubaki Sokyō.

"There is another key person here."

.......

ps: This chapter is 4k, and the following is the author's words free of charge.

Some people complained about the plot being disjointed... but actually, I'm just writing normally. I rarely intentionally break chapters when writing. After all, a complete plot is over 10,000 words long. I can't just post it in one chapter; it's bound to break somewhere...

Emm, now that things have come to this, it’s about time to offer a reward.

First of all, let’s follow the industry’s traditional 100-month 100-knives 10000 reward. Starting from the current 400-month, 65000 reward, 253 knives, we will start recording. I will add one more chapter every time the goal is met.

Of course, normal readers who follow the book also have ways to urge me to update more. I will also update more if they add 1000 recommendation votes or 500 new posts.

But the interstitial posts have to be effective, not the kind of y or something, where one person just pops up forty or fifty posts in one chapter... If someone does that, then don't do it. Don't be too deliberate. You're not at work, so just go with the flow.

Currently 6100 likes and 1300 comments. The author likes to be lively. (I don’t like to copy book reviews but have nowhere to copy them.)

The total maximum I owe is 10 updates. I usually write at least 2k every day. I will write more when I have time. The big boxes are calculated separately. The deadline is this Friday at midnight, and I happen to be starting school... emmm, if there are too many things to do when school starts, I may be slow to pay it back. If there are not many things to do, I will code every day. But I will basically pay back what I owe. It's only ten updates, and I can always pay it off in a week or two. That's it.

They Are Also Second Week: Chapter 57 Touch

........

It is still the season when cherry blossoms are flying, but the rain is falling quietly.

Dark clouds obscured the light in the sky, and the classroom, which should have been bustling with activity, was now so quiet that it seemed deserted.

"Tsubaki Zongjing, if I were you, I would quickly make the truth known to the public while there's still room for recovery, rather than waiting until the worst possible moment occurs and ruin your own future."

The cold air filled her nose as Amemiya Yi slowly approached, her cold gaze fixed on the thin girl in front of her who was already covered in cold sweat and had a look of fear in her eyes, and she spoke in a voice that only Tsubaki Zongjing in front of her could barely hear.

"In the past, many people said that I didn't speak like a normal person, that my words were roundabout and unpleasant to the ear... I admit, they were probably right, because I'm really not very good at talking to people, and most of the time I don't care what happens to others, or whether they live or die. It has nothing to do with me... and the same goes for you."

"But I care about my friends."

For the first time, Amamiya Yi's tone contained a hint of anger.

"..When you chose to put the blame on my friend, you should have been prepared for this."

"..."

This seemingly fragile and harmless girl's every word is like a Swiss watch, with the hands moving precisely and coldly.

Obviously, it is impossible to keep things quiet at this moment, and the only option is to continue the lie to the end.

Chun Zongjing didn't give up. She leaned back slightly, trying her best to stay away from the girl who was close to her. At the same time, she explained in a panic: "I didn't. I might have just accidentally recognized the wrong person..."

"Didn't you just say you saw her? Is your hippocampus malfunctioning?"

“Is it wrong?”

"Wrong?"

Hearing Amemiya's sharp and questioning tone in every word, Tsubaki Sōkyō finally lost his patience and shouted:

"I admit it! I didn't see anyone at all. I lied because I hated this guy. Are you satisfied now?"

As expected, she was in a panic and lost her composure because of what she just said, and she took the conversation in a direction that was very disadvantageous to her.

Hanayama Haruho keenly noticed the anomaly in her words and frowned slightly. "Your deskmate has nothing to do with this whole thing. She claimed to have seen a figure from behind who looked very much like Hoshikawa-san."

"So, it turns out that someone who looked very similar to Xingchuan appeared at Hanami's desk and took the necklace."

"But it's clear that Xingchuan has an alibi, so in fact, that person does exist, and the back figure does look a lot like Xingchuan, but she is not Xingchuan."

"I think that person is you."

Hanayama Haruho looked at Tsubaki Sokyo's thin figure and long black hair, and her outfit was almost exactly the same as Hoshikawa Kitaka's.

But her bangs were neat, revealing a face that was too thin and not really pretty.

"Last Friday, you heard Hua Mei leave the classroom and saw a necklace that looked valuable on the table. Since it was early in the morning, no one else was paying attention and her deskmate was asleep."

"So, you took this opportunity to go up and take the necklace, but you didn't expect that your dazed classmate would see you."

"But thankfully, your deskmate didn't see the front clearly and thought it was Hoshikawa. To clear your suspicion, you took this opportunity to frame Hoshikawa. You probably thought that his notoriety wouldn't make a big difference. Even if Hanami knew, she probably wouldn't dare to go to her to confirm the truth."

"When Iue Fumio came to question you, you repeated what you had said to your deskmate. You stole the things yourself, so you must have witnessed the entire process, which is why you were able to describe it so clearly, including the time and the number of students in the class."

"There's no need to dwell on what happened next. Everyone's focus will be on Iue Fumio and Hoshikawa, but you're outside the center of the conflict. You're just a witness describing the events. No one will care. Even if someone exposes you, you can just say you were just jealous, as you did just now."

"That's the truth, do you have anything else to say?"

“No….No…”

"Don't tell me, it just so happened that your deskmate was talking nonsense, and you just so happened to know the time and place of the theft, so the whole thing has nothing to do with you, right?"

There was an air of unquestionable authority in Hanayama Haruho's tone.

"There aren't so many coincidences in the world. At the very least, you're committing malicious slander, and at a deeper level, you're framing someone."

"Anyway, as the head of the Discipline Committee, I have the authority to handle student conflicts and thefts that occur on campus. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry are involved in this incident, which is more than enough to call the police. If you don't want to go to that kind of place and deal with adults, come with me!"

.......

After that, in the office, Chun Zongjing finally couldn't stand the pressure and told everything.

Perhaps if she gritted her teeth and insisted that she didn't do it, she could delay it for a while due to the lack of direct evidence, but how could an introverted girl withstand the harsh questioning of several adults?

In the end, things turned out almost exactly as Huashan had analyzed.

It is worth mentioning that an important reason why she chose to put the blame on Hoshikawa Kitaka was that when school started, she, who was introverted and plain-looking, discovered the equally introverted Hoshikawa Kitaka.

She wanted to be friends with Hoshikawa Kitaka, so she was about to talk to her in the bathroom, but unexpectedly saw Hoshikawa taking off his mask and accidentally revealing his true face while washing his face.

So beautiful.

Her beauty makes people jealous, making her, who thought she had found someone like her, look like a clown.

You have a face like this, so why do you pretend to be like this to deceive others?

She was angry and greedy, so she did something malicious but meaningless.

Regardless of the reason, after making such a mistake, according to the extremely strict school rules of Yundong High School, Chun Zongjing was naturally expelled.

Similarly, Iue Fumio, who carried out bullying in the name of justice, was forced to suspend his studies for a period of time.

At this point, the whole thing came to an end.

........

There was a sparse rain outside the window and the sky was gloomy, as if God was blindfolded.

After spending half the morning on a trivial matter, even with Miss Amemiya's physical strength, she felt a little tired.

The situation is currently under the spotlight of public opinion, and there will be a big uproar when they return, so after thinking for a while, the gorilla first stuffed the two of them into the lounge to rest and wait until things on the other side were dealt with before leaving.

It has to be said that Ms. Suzuki is not only big in size, but also has a big wallet. She even paid for a private lounge in the teaching building out of her own pocket. It is almost as big as a bedroom, with sofas, benches and snacks. She can be called the god of slacking off.

A high-end sofa that would cost an ordinary office worker a month's salary is probably not of the same quality as the old sofa at home that is stained with alcohol and full of cracks.
