Chapter 184 Ling's Guess and the Truth that Is About to Emerge
Uchiha Ling looked at Chitanda speechlessly. The reason why he took the initiative to come over to stay overnight today was because he suspected that there were monsters in your home, and now you are taking the initiative to drag the oil bottle...
I just hope that the old woman really doesn't have any malicious intentions, and that the number of people she protects doesn't change from one to two.
Yukinoshita: "...Eru, why do I seem to hear Ling-san's voice?"
"Well, classmate Ling will also stay tonight. Hehe, you will come over, then I will wait for you at home!"
Yukinoshita hummed and then hung up the phone.
Haha, I was still guessing that someone cared about his family, so he went back to his hometown to find his younger brother. Unexpectedly, he ended up at Chitanda's house.
This guy! Yukinoshita got up and left. She wanted to get to Chitanda's house as quickly as possible.
.....
On the other side, after Chitanda put down the phone, he stood up and looked at Uchiha Ling.
"This is the teacup that the old lady gave me. Student Ling, please sit here for a while while I go change my clothes."
Uchiha Ling nodded, and then looked at the pool outside the corridor. There were also brightly colored koi fish in the pool.
Unlike the Shinomiya family's mansion in the city, the Chitanda family's house was built among vast farmlands, covering an area no less than that of a school.
Sitting in a Japanese-style bungalow listening to the gurgling water outside, the courtyard is lined with neatly trimmed pine trees. However, compared to the various servants that can be seen everywhere in the Shinomiya family, the Chitanda family doesn't seem to like being crowded.
Uchiha Ling picked up the quaint tea cup and used his mobile phone to remotely connect to Natsume's cat teacher.
The tea cup suddenly started shaking in Uchiha Ling's hand.
"Oh? Is it really a monster? Should I kill you directly?"
On the other side, although Mr. Cat couldn't feel the teacup's evil spirit through his mobile phone, he just glanced at it and said casually.
"In ancient times, famous craftsmen would throw away their defective tea bowls, and some of them would become monsters after absorbing the essence of the earth. Because their bodies were given by humans, they would be very close to humans."
"But there are rumors that this kind of monster teacup will bring disaster to that family if it comes close to humans. But it's just a rumor. I haven't heard of any Onmyoji targeting this little monster. It should be harmless."
Uchiha Ling looked at the trembling tea bowl in his hand, "Harmless? Don't worry, I won't smash you, but don't stay here in the future. I will take you away tomorrow."
Regardless of whether it was a rumor or something, Uchiha Rei had no intention of letting a youkai live in the Chitanda family.
Putting down the ancient tea cup, Chitanda, who was dressed in casual home clothes, also walked in. After taking off her school uniform, her smooth black hair was casually scattered behind her, and the light green dress also highlighted the girl's cuteness.
Not long after, Yukinoshita Yukino also appeared in the room with a plain face.
Yukinoshita: "So, why is this guy here?"
Chitanda sat next to Uchiha Ling, thought for a while and said to Yukinoshita across the table. "It's mainly because of me."
"because of you?"
Yukinoshita fell into silence, her eyes sweeping towards Uchiha Rei and Chitanda Airi with a gentle look on her face. On one side, they are the best friends since they were promoted to Shuchiin Higher Education Department, and on the other side...
Is it related to the season? Could it be that I have hay fever? My nose always feels sore and my heart feels a little painful.
"call...."
Chitanda was the first to notice something strange. She stood up and patted Yukinoshita's back in confusion.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? If Yukino feels uncomfortable, you can rest first and leave the script study to us!"
Yukinoshita raised her head, "Are you going to discuss the script?"
Chitanda Airu nodded cutely, "Yes, I took the initiative to ask Ling-san to help me study the script, so Ling-san came here."
"Hmm... But I feel that there is strength in numbers, so I called Yukino too. We will be able to perfect Hongou-senpai's script tonight!"
Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were going to discuss the script. In that case, there was nothing to worry about.
Chitanda stayed there and sat next to Yukino, then looked at Uchiha Ling and said doubtfully.
"Classmate Ling, the Hongo-senpai you are talking about is not that she cannot write because she is ill, but that the second part of her script was rejected by the drama department. What happened?"
Yukinoshita: "There is still this matter!"
Uchiha Ling waved his hand, "It's just a guess, but if you want to hear it, I can tell you."
The reason lies in a questionnaire placed together with the script, which contains various anonymous votes related to the script. Among them is [homicide motive voting]...
Uchiha Ling unreservedly told his conjecture and the conversation he had with Irisu Fuyumi before the meeting.
I have to say that this kind of conjecture is indeed fanciful, but... it is actually feasible.
The key to unlocking everything is where is Hongo-senpai now?
Yukinoshita: "Chitanda, do you know that Irisu-senpai? You might as well ask which hospital the sick Hongo-senpai is in?"
Chitanda lowered her head, "I'm afraid not. With Irusu-senpai's character, even if we guess right, she won't let us easily find Hongo-senpai. We can only wait until this drama is over."
Now Chitanda is trying hard to deduce the original second half based on the first half of Hongo-senpai's script, rather than being original.
But based on the known information, this is not something that can be easily imagined.
At night, after dinner, the three of them stayed in the room to think.
Uchiha Ling: "You two go to bed first, we still have plenty of time, there is no need to stay up all night."
Chitanda rubbed her eyes, obviously she was not good at staying up late.
"What about you?"
Uchiha Ling took a notebook with his own writing and drawing, "Drink a cup of coffee later, and then continue thinking, I promised you, didn't I? If you don't want to go out tonight, you won't sleep."
Yukinoshita looked at Uchiha Ling worriedly, "Like you said, there is still plenty of time, you should go to bed too."
Uchiha Ling: "Is this an invitation?"
Yukinoshita silently pulled up the somewhat dazed Chitanda, "Eru and I will go back to the bedroom. If you don't want to sleep, just sit here all night!"
Watching the two people walk out of the room, Uchiha Ling smiled and glanced at the ancient teacup that was still in front of him.
"Because I don't understand your origins, I have to watch you, little guy. I'll take you back to the old woman tomorrow."
The teacup shook slightly for a few times, and then became quiet, while Uchiha Ling continued to look at the notebook in his hand.
The empty room was extremely quiet, and only the click of the clock hands could be heard at this time.
So what was the motive for the murder? The cause of death of classmate A was bleeding from the aorta in the neck. If the murder weapon was not found, the murder weapon could only be determined to be broken glass.
Then who used what method to make the dilapidated glass break from a high place and accidentally scratch classmate A?
Coincidence? Wait a minute, the inferior glass that has been exposed to wind and rain for decades in the mountains, and the dilapidated wooden window frame, are completely likely to be broken by the storm, causing the glass to fall and break by itself, and scratch classmate A who is right next to it.
It sounds a bit incredible, right? But everything in the world is made up of countless coincidences.
Why did the six people stay in the ancient village halfway up the mountain? Because it might rain at night. And before it rains... there will be strong winds!
Why is there one less vote in the voting for the motive of murder? Because there is no motive for murder at all. The death of classmate A was... an accident?
The ultimate cause of the murder was accidental death, I am afraid no one will agree. But for such an unqualified script, can't the drama department just take it out and say it directly? !
[The latter part of our script is not good, it needs to be revised] Just tell the Classic Literature Department like this, isn't it okay?
Why did they say that Senior Hongo was sick and didn't write the script, instead of saying that the script was not good!
Then there is only one reason, the performance department rejected the second half of Senior Hongo's script, not because the script was boring... but because they didn't want this part of the script to be performed! !
Don't want it to be performed! Don't want this part of the script to be seen, so the script and Senior Hongo were hidden! Haha... Uchiha Ling stood up, and the time on the clock had reached midnight.
