Chapter 421: Targeted by the Great Detective

Amamiya Ren, a second-year Class C student at Teitan High School, ranked in the upper tier of his class academically, but otherwise nothing particularly stood out about him; he was unsociable and kept to himself, never mingling with his classmates—the type who didn't quite fit in.

He had no parents, having grown up in an orphanage since childhood, and on weekends he would go out to work part-time jobs to earn money; his life had always been very routine.

Chuankenan recalled these pieces of information and felt they were utterly ordinary.

It could only be described as an inspiring story of a student with poor family circumstances working part-time jobs while studying hard.

He actually quite admired someone like that; based on the information he had asked Professor Agasa to look into, he felt that for this person to have managed to keep living like this until now was truly not easy.

He used to have the orphanage to fall back on, but after the orphanage went under, he lived entirely on his own—apart from working part-time to earn money, he only studied, with absolutely no other social activities whatsoever; this routine life had somehow been maintained for over six years.

If measured by the standard of being admirable, this person's life was absolutely remarkable.

However, since the start of his second year—more precisely, since one month ago—this person's situation had changed completely.

His social situation at school was unknown, but he had joined a school club.

The Mystery Research Club—a club that struck him as extremely bizarre.

Because Chuankenan was certain that anything mysterious was exactly the sort of thing Ran used to hate and fear the most, so her joining this club seemed very suspicious.

Besides, Ran herself belonged to the karate club—why on earth would she join a Mystery Research Club?

Furthermore, the members of the Mystery Research Club itself were also highly controversial.

Apart from Amamiya Ren and Ran, the core members were all, without exception, young ladies from wealthy families.
