Chapter 82
Hina Tachibana found it a bit hard to believe,
"What I said is true. There is a record of my interrogation at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."
There was a record at the Metropolitan Police Department? Then it seemed this incident really had occurred.
Hina Tachibana immediately began to worry about Lin Ye's safety. "Lin Ye-kun, are you okay?"
"I wasn't injured, please don't worry, Teacher. It's just that I can't remember many things,"
At this point in the conversation, Hina Tachibana had to lean toward the truthfulness of what Lin Ye said.
She looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka for help,
Shizuka Hiratsuka was half-believing and half-doubting; she scratched her chin with her right hand and nodded gently to show trust for the time being.
"I have a temporary understanding of your situation. What help do you need now? How about I come to Tokyo to pick you up and bring you back to school?"
An absolutely good teacher, not even minding the trouble to come and pick him up personally.
"I'll come to school myself! I still know some common sense, it's just that I don't know where the school is."
"Chiba, Chiba Municipal Sobu High."
"..."
A moment of silence made Hina Tachibana inevitably worried.
"What's wrong, Lin Ye-kun? Is there a problem?"
"Suddenly my brain... flashed some images. I want to ask, is there a teacher at the school named... Shizuka... Hiratsuka? It wouldn't be you, would it, Teacher!"
Sobu High, how could he not know it?
After Mai-senpai, there's also Hiratsuka-sensei, right!
He suddenly felt that he didn't need to look for a school transfer for the time being.
"No, no, it's not me,"
Hina Tachibana looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka, inevitably thinking that Shizuka Hiratsuka-senpai had truly left a deep impression on Lin Ye; otherwise, he wouldn't still have the memory even after losing his memory.
And Shizuka Hiratsuka, the person involved, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This impression was definitely not a good one.
"Shizuka-senpai is right beside me, I'll let her talk to you."
As the words fell, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke up,
"I am Shizuka Hiratsuka. If you let me know you're faking amnesia, don't blame me for serving you an iron fist,"
This threatening tone full of masculine spirit was indeed Shizuka Hiratsuka without a doubt.
"Really, Hiratsuka-sensei,"
"You said on the phone earlier that you were going to find Mai Sakurajima. You're thinking of finding a big star even with amnesia?"
"I want to see if she recognizes me, and if I can get information about myself from her."
This explanation was completely flawless.
"Hurry back, I'm waiting for you at school."
A person with normal amnesia would definitely return as soon as they got a clue, otherwise...
"I understand, Teacher,"
But it wasn't over yet. At the end, Shizuka Hiratsuka added another sentence,
"I have connections at the Metropolitan Police Department. I'll know if what you said is true or false once I ask. Now I'll give you one last chance. If you confess honestly, I can choose not to pursue it."
"What I said is true."
"I'll believe you for now. Do you have money on you? If not, I'll contact a friend in Tokyo to pick you up."
"I have money, thank you, Teacher."
Just like in the anime, Shizuka Hiratsuka is essentially a good teacher, a good teacher who cares about her students.
The call ended.
Shizuka Hiratsuka placed her phone on the office desk.
"Shizuka-senpai, do you think what Lin Ye-kun said is true?"
"I don't know, I'll know once I ask."
Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately dialed another number, and after a few beeps, it connected.
"Miwako, there's a matter I need your help with. A student of mine who is studying abroad said he encountered a murder case in Tokyo last night. He was questioned and gave a statement. You don't need to tell me the specific content, I just want to know if this incident really happened."
"Give me a few minutes, I'll ask."
Five minutes later,
Shizuka Hiratsuka's phone rang.
"There is indeed such an incident. The attacker died, and the police department's preliminary judgment is that it was an accidental death."
It seems Lin Ye wasn't lying.
"It's just..."
"Just what?"
Miwako Sato asked if there was anyone around Shizuka Hiratsuka. Hina Tachibana understood immediately and took the initiative to leave the room.
"The deceased died very suspiciously. The idol group's manager, Saito, is still lying in the hospital because he tried to stop the deceased and fell into a state of terror,"
"And according to the latest report, the deceased's body had been moved, and there were gaps in the surveillance. It's very obvious that someone had investigated the condition of his body."
At this point, even Shizuka Hiratsuka smelled something wrong.
"You mean..."
"Yes, the possibility is very high,"
"Thank you,"
"Small matter. Next time you go to Chiba, you have to treat me to barbecue."
"No problem."
After ending the call, Shizuka Hiratsuka had a rough guess.
Lin Ye was likely someone who had lost part of his memory due to the use of an Eerie Item.
There must have been a battle between players at the concert, and the surviving player chose to erase his memory to avoid exposing themselves.
"As long as he's okay."
Compared to life, losing a little memory is nothing at all.
Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but sigh at Lin Ye's luck. It could only be said that that player didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately and had their own bottom line, whereas a small portion of players were truly unscrupulous, burning, killing, and looting without any hesitation.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, how is the situation?"
"What he said should be true."
"I just felt that Lin Ye-kun wasn't lying."
Hina Tachibana was relieved, but thinking of Lin Ye's amnesia made her a bit sad. She could only hope that Lin Ye would recover his memory soon in the future.
"I hope this allows him to start over and become a good student."
Looking at the bright side, it wasn't without benefits.
"Hahaha... Keep it up, Hiratsuka-senpai, you can definitely do it."
"You can't run away,"
In a hotel room in Tokyo,
Lin Ye was extremely clear-headed at this moment.
"Sobu High, huh!"
"This world really is a mixture of so many works."
He didn't know what other surprises there were, and he was becoming increasingly expectant.
