Chapter 9 third quarter

Our unscrupulous attitude angered the police department of Patriarch Valley, and he was so angry that he dragged Wushan criminal police away.As a result, the last question posed by the Patriarch Valley Police Department was still confusing, as if in a fog.The three of us wandered the campus at random, thinking about what that question really meant. "Did you pick up anything near the crime scene? Or did you see who picked up what...Is that what he asked?" "Hey, what do you mean?" "Could it be that something was taken away from the scene of the crime? I think the police must be looking for that thing."

"But the question is what is 'that thing'? The murder weapon is stuck in the chest of the corpse, so it has nothing to do with it." After Yahashi-senpai finished speaking, he unconsciously looked at a corner of the campus.On the other side of his line of sight there was something--a tennis ball--an ordinary little thing that had nothing to do with the murder.However, just like a cat who finds a ball, it must be teased before it is reconciled, the high school student who found the ball during his lunch break also decided on his next move. "Hey, Russ!" "okay, I get it."

President Tamagawa seemed to have figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and started to move.He picked up the long-handled broom that had been left in a corner of the campus, then removed the handle, tried to hold it with both hands, and tested the feel.Then he swung the broom handle two or three times, and walked to an invisible strike zone. Thus, in a corner of the Koinokuwa Academy, under the brilliant sun, the confrontation between the two giants of the detective agency began. The murder case seemed to have been evaporated, disappearing without a trace. The east side slugger held up his bat and said:

"Ryuji Tamagawa, a third-year student at Koinokuwa Academy, is the president of the detective agency. His favorite hitter is Chen Dafeng from the China-Japan team." On the other hand, the main pitchers on the West side are not far behind: "Kyosuke Yahashi, a third-year student at Koinokubo Gakuen, is a member of the detective agency. My favorite pitcher is Hankyu's Yutaro Imai!" As a junior in the first grade, my duty at this time is, of course, to be a catcher. I don't need to self-report "favorite catcher is...".Besides, I don't have a favorite catcher at all.

Hachihashi-senpai said "Shuh!", and with the sound effects like a baseball cartoon, he raised his hands high, raised one foot, and put on a very unique pitching posture.On the other hand, the president used the "golden rooster independent play style" that elementary school students would imitate in the past to challenge.How could this be possible? Yahashi-senpai threw a half-speed ball with a super red heart in the middle, and the president waved his stick boldly!The two-strong matchup is like a painting, ending with a swing and a strikeout.The main pitcher on the west side successfully blocked the opponent's hit.

"Go to 'Hippo House' and treat me to takoyaki. Is it okay? Ryuji." "Since I have been defeated by you, I have no choice but to do so." This baseball game at Koinokuwa Academy was a small gamble.As long as the winners and losers are distinguished, the degree is not a problem. Just when I was about to enter the strike zone, another man ran out from somewhere. He looked like a man in his thirties, wearing a white robe.There are no male doctors in our school, so this person may be a physics and chemistry teacher.The white-robed man noticed us and said with his mouth:

"Really, what are you doing?" Then, the man quickened his pace and walked over. "Hey, what are you doing here? The school is full of turmoil because of a murder, and you still have leisure to swing around here with wooden sticks in broad daylight... Do you think this is right? Ahh... you still It's really shocking, I'm so disappointed in you. It seems that you don't have the so-called 'self-consciousness' at all. Anyway, don't stand there stupidly, bring me that wooden stick!" When it was too late, the teacher of physics and chemistry took the handle of the broom from me.Then, he tried the feel with both hands, and suddenly swung it boldly two or three times.Then, without anyone calling him, he walked into the strike zone by himself.

The corner of the man's white robe was blown up by the wind, but he still held the wooden stick straight and stood ready to strike. "Ishizaki Hiromi, a biology teacher at Koinokuwa Academy, is 30 years old. I don't know what happened to be the instructor of the detective agency. My favorite hitter is Katsuo Osugi from the Yakult team. Don't be polite to me just because I am a teacher." , Yahashi-san, just let your horse come here." "???" ah?Didn't the man say he was disappointed in something? "Hmm... As expected of a teacher." The president next to me murmured in admiration, "Osugi. It's really different."

"Hey... Excuse me," I asked in trepidation, "Who is this person?" "Huh? Didn't you hear his self-introduction just now?" "Osugi?" "You idiot!" Ah, I was called an idiot by the president.This is the first time I have been scolded by the president like this. "He's not Osugi, he's biology teacher Ishizaki. Didn't he just declare his name?" Ahh... that's right.This is not important.It's not important, but, "I seem to have heard him say that he is the instructor of the detective agency." "That's right. Ishizaki is the instructor of our detective agency. What are you doing, don't you know?"

"..." In this way, it is true that when the president and the student council president spoke last night, they mentioned the status of the instructor and so on.It turns out that it was not said to scare people.However, there is an instructor in our society, which also surprised me.I think he must be a weirdo teacher. The president irresponsibly said to Hachihashi-senpai who was standing on the imaginary pitcher's mound: "Hey... Yahashi, you don't have to be polite to him! Let him see how good you are." "Oh, you don't need to tell me. I know. It doesn't matter if the opponent is Ishizaki or anyone else."

While talking provocatively, Yahashi threw his mid-range ball as usual.On the other hand, the biology teacher in a white robe swung his stick with all his might!The moment the two quadrants intersected, the outcome was decided. "I just said I'm going to give you a ball, you're welcome." Yahashi-san demanded after catching the pitcher's front ball that bounced weakly twice, "Then why don't you treat us to the special coffee in the biology classroom? Hey! I need a cup after the meal." "Well, since I've lost to you, there's nothing I can do about it." With a very straightforward expression, he returned the broom to me. After he lost, he didn't say, "You students, it's wrong to gamble."From this point of view, I think it should be him—— See Hiroshi Ishizaki, he is indeed the instructor of our detective agency.
