But now, as long as she thinks of the face that always shows a smile, her heart is already riddled with holes.

At this moment, Shiina Masashi finally lowered his head and couldn't help holding his hand to his heart. In pain, he even started to regret what happened to him. This kind of feeling is about to break apart, why should he understand such emotion...

Victoria on the side looked quietly white.

On the campus, a piece of dead leaves that did not fall in winter fell from a side window.

The shade of the tree kept shaking and reflections, and finally, Li Yan, who was constantly reappearing in his mind, finally returned to the moment he brought her out from under the table.

——【Get up, really white... Now is not the time to fall. Your battle to protect your friends is not over yet. You are definitely more than that. Cheer up, fight for it, and you will surely get the answer you can get. 】

"..."

Shiina Mashiro stood quietly in this corridor of fallen leaves, was silent for a moment, wiped the tears that had not yet fallen from his eyes with his sleeve.

"Now, Shiina..." Victoria looked up at her, trying to remind her in a low voice.

"Yes, look for clues now."

Suddenly, Shiina Mashiro's expression was calm, her voice was slightly hoarse, but her tone returned to the original.

Victoria was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Shiina really white with some surprise. This young girl quickly overcame the psychological barrier.

I have to say that Victoria increasingly feels that Shiina Shiro is really suitable for a job like a detective or a police detective, although she also knows...how much it will cost to overcome this mentality...

Shiina Mashiro and Victoria began to put on their gloves, took off their shoes, and began to enter the scene.

After checking the footprints and ballistics details that the police had collected for evidence, and after constantly grasping more information, in the real white mind, he couldn't help but start to see this series of experiences with his own eyes.

After fighting with enemies with various weapons, Li Yan's injuries seemed to be a bit serious, and he stepped back to a corner where there was no enemy.

Since the opponent had a gun, he still attacked Li Yan with weapons such as metal rods and machetes, proving that the opponent had the intention of teasing Li Yan.

There are two people's footprints in the corner. The 42-size shoe print is presumably Li Yan's, while the 43-size shoe print is someone else. It can be seen that Li Yan managed to capture the hostage in the end.

However, the opponent still fired, directly through the two of them...

The sound of a gunshot from [Pound], as if I heard it with her own ears, made Zhen Bai's heart suddenly cold, and she seemed to see that body finally fell in the tongue of flame...

"..." Shiina Masashi squatted on the ground to investigate, watching the hallucinations, and finally closed his eyes.

"I... still believe in Holmes."

As if this were her determination, she mustered up the courage of her life to place this bet, thought.

Although Sherlock Holmes does catch a cold and fever, and occasionally fails, Shiina Zhenshi will unconditionally choose to believe no matter how many reasons he has.

Although Holmes in the novel disappeared, he finally returned.

He shouldn't die like this, he should respond to the expecting people and finally return to them.

She opened her eyes and continued to watch the moment when Li Yan fell.

As a result, blood splashed on the wall, Li Yan's body hit the clock, and the clock fell down and shattered to the side...

"..."

Shiina looked at the broken clock and was stunned.

She walked over, squatted in front of the clock, and watched quietly.

Her eyes have a more keen ability to distinguish colors than ordinary people. The entire clock face fell on the ground, which is nothing unusual, but her true white eyes caught a trace of fingerprints formed by reddish-brown spots, which seemed to be dried blood. .

11:35:15...

Shiina Mashiro's clear and calm eyes looked at the hour, minute, and second hands quietly, only the minute hand was marked with a trace of blood.

"Holmes...what is telling me?"

Shiina Mashiro said silently in her heart.

7:35 minutes.

Rita, wrapped in a towel, sat in the teacher's office of the middle school, holding hot water, waiting for news among a pile of British plainclothes and Japanese police officers coming and going.

"Rita."

At this time, Shiina Mashiro and Victoria returned to the office, Mashiro called Rita.

"Really white, and...Miss Victoria."

Rita raised her head, looked at them, and responded.

"Rita, I have something to ask you about last night's experience." Shiina asked, standing in front of her, looking as usual.

"Yes, there are many details that you need to remember, and I hope you calm down." Victoria added.

Rita was stunned, was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Well, I see."

She actually wanted to ask Zhenbai and Victoria about Li Yan, but it didn't seem like the time to ask.

"Why did you disappear suddenly yesterday evening?" Zhenbai looked at her and asked.

"...Yesterday, according to Li's intention, I still didn't go to Saturday's remedial class. After all, the teaching of Shuiming Art School seemed too simple.

Rita said quietly.

However, yesterday afternoon, Zhenbai went out to Forrest’s mansion as always. When she was taking care of Alice by herself, she received a call from the head teacher of the art class, asking her to go to school to supplement and sign the transfer. School documents, and in a hurry, the head teacher deliberately drove over to pick her up. The voice on the phone was indeed from the head teacher, so Rita didn't think much about it.

Then, Rita followed the time agreed on the phone and went downstairs to wait, only to see her class teacher, the middle-aged teacher Kawauchi, who came to pick her up.

The voice, appearance, and even habits were exactly the same. Rita lowered her guard and got into the car of Teacher Kawauchi, and thought that with the protection of an adult, she should not be attacked by that group of criminals like this.

However, who knows, as soon as he entered the school, Rita was covered with a drug-sprayed towel by Teacher Kawauchi, and soon fell asleep.

"In this way, I have been imprisoned in the school." Rita said.

Shiina Mashiro and Victoria understand that the so-called "Kawauchi-sensei" is mostly that brain disguised. It is rumored that the leader of the [Jester Thieves Group] is good at disfigurement, not only can change appearance, body shape, even voice Imitation perfect.

The reason why I can’t do it on the road is that on the one hand I am worried about being detected by passers-by. On the other hand, Rita is sitting on the co-pilot. It is easy to detect when I do it. Rita has a certain level of vigilance. Rita is easy to escape, so she can only really take her to the school, and then take advantage of her mobile hand. But at that time, it was the time when the activities of art students were the most intensive. Anything to be taken away in a hurry would cause alertness, so I had to wait until the night to send out the successfully captured Rita.

Rita's words are quite consistent with the clues provided by Alice, but Rita didn't tell Alice what to do when she hurried out...

Zhenbai and Victoria have not been able to reason about why Li Yan, who returned at 7:46, was able to infer so quickly that Rita had gone to school and disappeared that night.

"Perhaps... Lee (Holmes) also knows the internal situation of the police. If they call the police, Rita will be transferred faster. So at that time, only Li Yan (Holmes) himself could set out to deal with them."

The two girls thought of this together.
