"Hey, your chain is broken." Yuichi said after seeing Kikuchi's wallet.During the lunch break, they bought bread at the commissary.Kikuchi stood in front of Yuichi with the wallet in his hand, but the key ring charm that usually hung on it was gone.Yuichi remembers it as a little tumbler. "That's right, I just found out yesterday evening." Ju Chi said angrily, "I still like that one very much." "Lost?" "It seems to be. But, is this kind of chain so easy to break?" What a bargain!Xiong swallowed the words he almost said out loud.It is strictly forbidden to play such lip service to Kikuchi.

"By the way," Kikuchi lowered his volume, "I went to see "Rocky" yesterday." "Oh, that's good." Yuichi looked at him and said in his heart, not long ago, you were clearly lamenting over expensive movie tickets. "I got a special coupon for a movie theater from an unexpected place." Kikuchi seemed to see through Yuuji's question, "The guest gave it to me." "Oh, that's really lucky." Yuichi knew that Kikuchi's mother worked at a nearby market. "However, I saw that it was due yesterday, so I rushed there in a hurry. Fortunately, I caught up with the last one. It was really dangerous. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if it wasn't due soon, no one would give it away. "

"Maybe, how about a movie?" "so cool!" They started discussing the movie animatedly. The lunch break was about to end, and when returning to the classroom, a classmate called Yuichi to stop him, saying that the class teacher was looking for him.Their tutor is a science teacher nicknamed "Big Bear", surnamed Xiong Ze. When we arrived at the teacher's office, Kumazawa was waiting for Yuichi with a serious face. "Mr. Police from the Tianwangsi Sub-bureau is here, and I have something to ask you." Xiongyi was taken aback. "Asked me what?"

"I heard that you secretly photographed girls from Tsinghua University." Xiong Ze stared at Yuichi fiercely with cloudy eyes. "Ah, I..." Faced with the sudden questioning, Xiong was speechless, unable to speak, which was tantamount to self-reporting. "Hey!" Xiong Ze clicked his tongue and stood up, "It's a shame for the school to be stupid and only do stupid things!" He moved his chin, signaling Yuichi to follow him. Three men were waiting in the reception room.One of them was the instructor who met on the roof last time, and he glared at Yuichi through his glasses.The other two were strangers, one very young, the other middle-aged, both dressed in sober dark suits.It seems that these two are the police.

Kumazawa introduces Yuichi to them.The police watched him every inch of the way. "Are you the one who secretly took pictures of the students near the junior high school of Tsinghua Women's Academy?" the middle-aged policeman asked, his tone sounded gentle, but it vaguely revealed that the teachers didn't have the audacity.His voice alone was enough to make Yuichi cringe. "Uh, I..." Tongue seems to be tied. "Everyone has seen your name tag." The detective pointed at Yuichi's chest, "It is said that because your surname is very special, I will remember it."

No way, Yuichi thought. "How? You better be honest, did you go to shoot?" the policeman asked again, and the young policeman beside him also glared at Yuichi.The instructor's expression was extremely ugly. "Shot..." Yuichi nodded helplessly, and Xiong Ze sighed heavily. "Don't you feel ashamed to do this kind of thing?" The instructor was so angry that he almost stuttered, and his forehead with receding hairline began to flush. "Don't do this, don't do this." The middle-aged policeman made a soothing gesture, and his eyes returned to Yuichi, "Is the subject of the photo fixed?"

"yes." "Do you know her name?" "I know." Yuichi's voice was hoarse. "Can you write my name here?" The policeman took out a pen and paper. Yuichi wrote "Yuki Karasawa", and the policeman read it with a knowing expression. "What else?" the policeman asked, "Is there anyone else? Just take pictures of her?" "yes." "You like her?" The policeman smiled maliciously. "No...it's not that I like it, it's that my friend likes it. I just help him take pictures." "Your friend? Why did you take pictures for him?"

Yuichi lowered his head, biting his lip.Seeing him like this, the police seemed to have noticed something. "Haha!" said the policeman, amusedly, "you're selling those pictures, aren't you?" Yuichi couldn't help trembling when he said it. "You bastard!" Xiong Ze burst out, "Idiot!" "Are you the only one taking pictures? Is there anyone else?" asked the middle-aged policeman. "I don't know, probably not." "So, you are the one who often peeps at Tsinghua University's playground? The students there said that people often peek at it."

Yuichi raised his head. "I didn't, really, I just took pictures." "Who is peeping? Do you know?" Mostly Muta and the others, Yuichi thought in his heart, but he didn't say anything.If they found out that he reported it, God knows how miserable the end will be. "It seems that you know, but you don't want to say it. It's not good for you to keep it secret. Well, it doesn't matter. Now please tell me what you did after school yesterday, the more detailed the better." "This……" "Yesterday...what? Can't talk?" "May I ask what happened?"

"Akiyoshi!" Xiong Ze roared, "All you have to do is answer!" "Hey, it's okay." The middle-aged policeman comforted the excited teacher again, and looked at Yuichi with a slight smile, "A girl from Tsinghua University was almost bullied near the school." Yuichi felt his face stiffen. "not me." "No one said you did it, but the students there mentioned you." The policeman's tone was still calm, but full of meaning—you are the most suspect right now. "I don't know, really..." Yuichi shook his head. "Then where and what did you do yesterday, there is nothing you can't say?"

"Yesterday...after school, I went to the bookstore and the record store." Xiong said while recalling, "It was after six o'clock at that time, and I have been staying at home since then." "When you are at home, is your family there?" "Yes, my mother is also at home. At about nine o'clock, my father also came back." "No one outside the family?" "No..." Yuichi replied, thinking, isn't the family member's certificate counted as proof? "Okay, what should we do?" The middle-aged policeman whispered to the young policeman next to him in a deliberative tone, "Akiyoshi said that he didn't take the photo because he wanted it, but we can't confirm his words." "That's it." The young policeman agreed, with a disgusting smile on his lips. "I really did it for a friend." "In this case, please tell me the name of that friend." The middle-aged policeman said. "This..." Yuichi hesitated, but if he didn't say anything else, he might not be able to clear up the suspicion.He would not like that. The policeman appraised the situation and said appropriately, "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone that you said it." These words almost touched Yuichi's heart, making him make up his mind.He timidly said Muta's name.The instructor immediately showed an extremely bored expression.It is conceivable that this name is indispensable every time something happens. "Among those peeking at Tsinghua University's playground, is this student Mu Tian?" asked the middle-aged policeman. "I don't know." Yuichi licked his dry lips. "Did Mu Tian only ask you to take pictures of Tang Ze? Did you ask you to take pictures of other girls?" "Others, um..." Yuichi hesitated for a moment, but decided to confess honestly.At this point, it doesn't matter how much you reveal. "Recently, he asked me to photograph another person." "Who?" "Toko Fujimura, but I don't know who she is." Before the words were finished, Yuichi felt the air in the room suddenly become tense, and the policeman's expression also changed. "You took her picture?" the older policeman asked in a low voice. "not yet." The policeman nodded and said, "Really?" "Stop taking pictures." Xiong Ze said angrily from the sidelines, "You are only suspected of doing such stupid things." Yuichi silently nodded. "We want to confirm one more thing." The policeman took out the plastic bag, "Have you seen what's inside?" There is a small tumbler in the bag.Yuichi was surprised that it was Kikuchi's key ring charm! "It seems that you know it." The policeman noticed his expression. Yuichi's heart began to waver again.If Kikuchi is confessed, what will happen?Will Kikuchi be suspected?However, if you lie at this time, it may make things worse.Moreover, even if they don't tell it, they will find out the truth sooner or later... "How is it?" The policeman tapped his fingers on the table loudly, urging him to answer.The sound was like a needle, piercing Yuichi's heart. Yuichi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered the owner of the tumbler.
