Chapter 8

This was the only time in many years that Kitakami Yoru had shown his pitiful courage.

But it was used to prove his innocence in a hurry.

"You still want to quibble?" Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment, then let out a sneer.

She said again: "It seems that you hid it in advance, that's why you are so confident?"

"You... why can't it be..."

"It's... that..."

Facing Kasumigaoka Utaha's questioning, Kitakami Yoru stammered and wanted to defend himself, but his tongue seemed to be knotted.

While gesturing in a panic, he racked his brains to recall and think.

Originally, Kitakami Yoru had already thought about what to say.

But when he was nervous, he forgot it at this critical moment.

He just couldn't grasp the point he wanted to say in his mind, and couldn't say it.

"Hayasaka, what do you think?" Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly and asked Hayasaka Ai secretly beside her.

"Well..."

"Kaguya-sama, in short, in terms of probability, there is always a small probability that he is not the criminal who stole the stockings and panties."

"However, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence."

"There is always a way to pry open a person's mouth."

Hayasaka Ai supported her chin with her hand and pondered for a few seconds before replying.

To be gentle, you can use a lie detector, not gentle...

Various psychotropic drugs, torture, are all possible.

Hayasaka Ai thought silently in her heart.

However, she thought the murderer should be Kitakami Yoru, it couldn't be wrong.

It was normal not to find physical evidence, it could be hidden anywhere, or burned with fire after use, and it would disappear directly.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Suddenly, Hiratsuka Shizuka, smoking a cigarette, squeezed in from the side.

Standing between Kitakami Yoru and Kasumigaoka Utaha, separating the two.

"Phew~ Kasumigaoka Utaha, don't push too hard, let him say it first."

Hiratsuka Shizuka exhaled a smoke ring and said to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kitakami Yoru saw this scene, nodded excitedly, constantly stimulating himself with pain, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Fine, let's see what else you want to quibble about."

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at this disgusting loser otaku and took a step back.

"You too, don't worry, take it slow." Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed in her heart.

She saw Kitakami Yoru like this, really couldn't bear it, couldn't even speak clearly, so she came up to stop it.

"Thank you, Teacher, I... I'm ready." Kitakami Yoru nodded heavily, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka, a hint of gratitude surging in his heart.

At least, Hiratsuka Shizuka was willing to create time for him, give him a chance to defend himself, instead of being aggressive from the start.

Unlike Kirisu Mafuyu, who treated him like that.

"What do you want to say?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka extinguished the cigarette in her hand, asked Kitakami Yoru, and said to herself:

"Do you want to say, why must the criminal be yourself?"

"Couldn't it be another boy who thought this was a good opportunity, wouldn't be suspected, so he boldly implemented the plan, and anyway, you are the scapegoat?"

"Couldn't it be stolen by a girl who is jealous of you? A girl who hates you? Wants to make you uncomfortable, wants to retaliate against you?"

As the words fell, Kitakami Yoru's eyes widened excitedly, and he almost bit his tongue.

Hiratsuka Shizuka had said most of what he wanted to say.

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Hiratsuka, that's what I wanted to say!"

"Can't these guesses be used to suspect?"

"You know yourself that there are many girls in the school who are jealous of you, many boys also like you, and some people are buying your stockings and panties at a high price, aren't these motives for others to commit crimes?"

Kitakami Yoru raised his head and bravely looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha actively!

Facing Kitakami Yoru's firm gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated slightly in her heart and took a light breath.

Started to ponder what Kitakami Yoru said.

Indeed, what Kitakami Yoru said made some sense.

In private, someone was buying her stockings and panties at a super high price, and she knew it.

There were also some girls, especially those from the Pure Academy, who were unhappy with her and occasionally came to trouble her.

"However, this doesn't clear your suspicion." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked into Kitakami Yoru's eyes, her tone a little softer.

But, it was still tough.

Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and looked at Hayasaka Ai, communicating with her eyes tacitly.

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't care who stole Kasumigaoka Utaha's stockings and panties.

She only cared who the criminal was, whether they had taken photos of her or done anything else to her.

Kitakami Yoru's words made Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shinomiya Kaguya waver a little.

However, the circle of people outside couldn't sit still.

Because Kitakami Yoru shifted the conflict to them!

"Hey, you disgusting loser otaku, what are you talking about? Senior Kasumigaoka has always been my idol, who would be jealous and retaliate against her!"

"Fat guy, you peeked at Student Kasumigaoka's thighs in heat before, now you pretend you don't know, acting like a white lotus, right?"

"Buying stockings and panties at a high price in private, how come I don't know?"

"Senior Kasumigaoka, don't be fooled by this loser otaku pig, he must have thought of the rhetoric and response method, and predicted your prediction's prediction!"

"I think his reaction of not knowing and being innocent just now was all acted out, pretended, he is the best at acting!"

"He must have hidden the physical evidence, thinking that Senior, you have no evidence and can't do anything to him!"

The boys and girls watching the show expressed their indignation one after another, constantly saying things that attacked Kitakami Yoru, as well as their various guesses.

Also, compared to the people around them, Kitakami Yoru looked more like a criminal.

No one would believe the criminal's rhetoric either.

"I think we should call the police and let the Metropolitan Police Department come." Kirisu Mafuyu said with some distress.

"No, calling the police is a last resort." Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head and glanced at Kitakami Yoru.

For this kind of incident, the Metropolitan Police Department might not have any way at all.

They would just deal with it perfunctorily, and it involved an eldest daughter of a financial family like Shinomiya Kaguya.

Even if the criminal wasn't Kitakami Yoru, he would probably be treated as a scapegoat by the Metropolitan Police Department, or leave a lifelong stain on Kitakami Yoru's file.

Once a stain is left, being expelled from school is small, and he won't even be able to find a job in the future.

Then Kitakami Yoru's life would really be ruined.

Provided that the criminal really wasn't Kitakami Yoru.

Maybe it was Kitakami Yoru's sincerity before that moved Hiratsuka Shizuka.

On the side, Kitakami Yoru stood silently in front of his tent.

While keeping an eye on Kasumigaoka Utaha, he listened to the conversation between the two teachers.

When he heard that Kirisu Mafuyu still insisted on calling the police, he couldn't help but be terrified.

Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka fight for him, he felt a deep gratitude for Hiratsuka Shizuka in his heart.

Except for his parents, it seemed no one had ever sincerely thought for him.

"This..."

Kirisu Mafuyu opened her mouth, moved her gaze away from Hiratsuka Shizuka, and looked at Kitakami Yoru.

Subsequently, she took a step forward and came to Kitakami Yoru.

Without hiding the disgust in her eyes, she forced him with a very cold expression and tone:

"Student Kitakami Yoru, if you really stole Student Kasumigaoka Utaha's things, please take them out."

Kirisu Mafuyu felt that if Kitakami Yoru wasn't the criminal, why be afraid of the Metropolitan Police Department?

Wouldn't it be better to let the Metropolitan Police Department come and handle it?

Only criminals would be afraid of the Metropolitan Police Department and want to muddle through, right? ===== CHAPTER 10 =====
