In the simple bungalow, there are only square wooden tables and low stools, without any modern decorations, nor warm sofas or coffee tables with black tea and snacks.

There is a group photo hanging on the wall. In the photo, the old woman and the little girl are smiling brightly, like sunflowers in the morning sun.

The sumptuous dinner on the wooden table exudes the fragrance, but they are all lying quietly in the packaging box, which also has the logo of the Michelin restaurant on it.

Outside the house, the old woman is sitting in a brand-new wheelchair. The steel needle and wool in her hand are constantly alternating. The ball of wool is slowly shrinking. She is preparing to knit a sundress for her granddaughter before winter comes.

In the room, the boys and girls from Hemu High School Detective Agency were standing opposite Oguri Rika, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Is Takakura Yui's mobile phone with you?"

Yanomi asked again.

Oguri Rika's pupils shrank, but she pretended to be calm.

"I don't know what you are talking about, how could her cell phone be here with me."

"We found him based on his mobile phone location. Stop making excuses, you're a murderer."

Furuhashi Daisuke said righteously that he also wanted to show his presence in front of Chiyuki Mei, so he couldn't let the president finish all his lines.

Chiyuki Mei was still hiding behind Shirakawa, and cautiously emerged to look at Oguri Rika.

This is a girl with dry hair, fair face, good looks, a little thin, only 1.5 meters tall, and looks a little malnourished.

The skirt she was wearing seemed to have been purchased recently and was from a famous brand.

This is not in line with her family conditions.

So, she was using the victim's money.

Maybe he also asked the victim's home several times and asked for money through text messages on his mobile phone.

Chiyuki Mei speculated silently in her mind. Although she wanted to ask Shirakawa if what she thought was correct, she did not dare to speak in front of the suspect.

"Don't frame me falsely. Please leave my home immediately. You are not welcome here."

Oguri Rika glared at Furuhashi Daisuke, clenching her hands into fists, and her voice began to rise. If everyone kept talking, Shirakawa was sure she would yell loudly.

At this time, Bai Chuan slowly spoke and said in a gentle tone,

"Living with my grandma since childhood must have been very hard."

Oguri Rika raised her head and looked at Shirakawa, her eyes immediately misted.

Bai Chuan continued,

"Grandma's left leg was injured, but she still insisted on getting up early every day and taking you to the nearby station. Every time when you were out of school, she would walk alone for half an hour and wait for you to come back at the station. She didn't worry about you being alone.

"You really wanted to buy a wheelchair for your grandma, but the wheelchair was very expensive, so you had to settle for the next best thing. You saved money for a long time and finally bought a crutch, but it was snatched away by Takakura Yui and her best friends and laughed at.

, and hit you again and again with the cane, and finally broke it and threw it into the trash can.

"You must hate Takakura Yui very much, because she always bullies you because of her poor family.

"You were having a bad time at school, but because you didn't want grandma to worry, you kept tolerating it and didn't say a word about it.

"Grandma spent half her pension to get into this school, and you don't want to let her down.

"You must tell grandma every day about the interesting things that happened to you and your friends at school, that's why grandma is so enthusiastic when she sees us.

"You have done a good job, but if it were me, I might not be able to do as well as you."

What Chiyuki Mei, Yanomi Mi, and Furuhashi Daisuke didn't expect was that Shirakawa actually affirmed Oguri Rika and was obviously comforting her.

Oguri Rika looked at the handsome young man, he was like a melancholy poet and the angel who understood people's hearts best.

Few people can understand her.

After everyone knows the truth, they will definitely despise themselves.

Do you think she is a terrible murderer?

He doesn't care why she did this, nor does he care how wronged she has been.

Oguri Rika's psychological defense was broken by Shirakawa's gentlest words. She held her head in her hands, squatted on the ground, and sobbed in a very restrained voice.

She was afraid of being heard by her grandma outside the door.

"When did you become murderous?"

"Was it when the crutches were discarded, was it when you were pushed down the mountain lake, or was it when they beat you for fun in the bathroom?"

Bai Chuan asked in a calm tone. Rather than questioning, it was more like talking to a friend.

He approached Oguri Rika and helped her up from the corner.

"Why should you be so gentle to a murderer?"

Furuhashi Daisuke complained incomprehensively.

Although Yanomi didn't understand either, she somehow felt that Kuraki-kun like this was very attractive. She glared at Daisuke Furuhashi and said, "Shut up."

[Yami’s beautiful feeling level 5]

[Current favorability level 85 (a lover I yearn for)]

Furuhashi Daisuke could only lower his head and stop talking.

Chiyuki Mei suddenly discovered that Kuraki-kun is a very gentle person.

[Qianyuki Meiyi’s favorability level 1]

[Current favorability level 77 (gentle friend)]

Shirakawa glanced at Qianyuki Mei in surprise. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Kuraki-kun at this moment.

Shirakawa continued to turn his attention to Oguri Rika.

She finally spoke, her voice low and hoarse,

"Yes, I wanted to kill her, very much, but I didn't. What would my grandma do if I became a murderer?"

"If you hadn't killed the person, why would the phone be here with you?"

Yanomi was sure she was quibbling.

Oguri Rika did not look at her, but took out the mobile phone belonging to the victim Takakura Yui,

"I picked this up."

"Picked it up?"

Both Yanomi and Furuhashi Daisuke expressed disbelief.

"If you picked it up, why didn't you hand it over to the police or her parents? Why did you secretly use her social account and send messages to her parents to make it look like she was still alive?"

"Because, because I long to live a life I have never had before, I also want to wear a nice dress, carry a nice bag, and be cared for by my parents. I also want to have all these. Why can she get it so easily, but I can't?"

no?"

"While being bullied, do you want to be the other person?"

Shirakawa looked sadly at Rika Oguri, who was wearing designer clothes.

Oguri Rika could endure these people pointing fingers at her, but she could not bear the disappointment of Shirakawa, who was so gentle to her.

She is a girl who is extremely insecure and longs to be loved.

This look hurt her deeply.

It was like seeing a pure angel and when he wanted to be hugged, the angel showed disgust in his eyes and said, you are too dirty.

Oguri Rika's tears kept flowing out, she didn't dare to look at Shirakawa anymore, and said stubbornly,

"No, I don't want to be her, I don't want to be her, I don't want to be her."

Then, she suddenly took off her clothes, revealing the dense scars on her body.

On the fair skin, there are scars that cannot be healed.

Some have scabs, and some still have dark red marks.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

She put on her clothes, raised her head in despair, and looked at Bai Chuan,

"So, can you trust me?"

Chiyuki Mei immediately took out a tissue from the bag and handed it to Shirakawa, who was closest to Oguri Rika.

Bai Chuan took out a tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, and said in a gentle tone,

"Rika-chan, if you don't want to be regarded as the first suspect, please tell me what you saw that day and the whole process of picking up the phone."

Oguri Rika slowly lowered her head and began to recall what happened that day.

"That day, they surrounded me in the bathroom and beat me up. Yui Takakura even scolded my grandma, so I mustered up the courage, found a shovel in the trash can, and followed her.

I want her to at least apologize to my grandma.
