Long slightly brown hair covered the side of Yukiho's face.She used the middle finger of her left hand to pull the strands of hair behind her ears, but still missed a few strands.Zhengqing likes the way she brushes her hair very much. Looking at her snow-white and smooth cheeks, she can't help but have the urge to kiss her. This has been the case since the first class. Find the equation of a straight line when two surfaces intersect in space——Yuesui is solving this problem.Solution - I have already taught it, and she understands it, and the mechanical pencil in her hand has almost never stopped.

There was still a long time before the time set by Zhengqing, so she raised her head and said, "It's finished." Zhengqing carefully checked the formula she wrote in the notes.Every number and symbol is clearly written and the answer is correct. "That's right, very good, impeccable." He looked at Xuesui. "Really? I'm so happy." She clapped her hands gently on her chest. "You probably understand everything about spatial coordinates. As long as you can solve this problem, everything else can be used as a practical problem for this problem."

"Can I take a break? I bought new black tea." "Well, you must be a little tired." Yukisui smiled and stood up from the chair, leaving the room. Zheng Qing was still sitting at the desk, looking around the room.When she went to make tea, he was left alone in the room, but this time always made him extremely restless.Frankly speaking, he wanted to explore every corner of the room, to open the small drawers, and to open the notebook on the shelf.No, even if you only know the cosmetics brand Yusuho uses, you will definitely be quite satisfied.However, if he rummaged around and was discovered by her... Thinking of this, he could only sit peacefully.He didn't want to be looked down upon by her.

If I had known this, I would have brought the magazine, he thought.This morning he bought a men's fashion magazine at the station retail stand.But the magazine was in the sports backpack, which he left in the entrance on the first floor.The backpack was a bit dirty, and it was the big bag he used for hockey practice, and he used to leave it under it during class. In desperation, he could only look at the room.There is a small pink tape recorder in front of the bookshelf, and several cassettes are stacked beside it. Zhengqing got up a little, to see clearly the label on the cassette.There are names such as Arai Yumi and OFF COURSE on it.

He sat back in the chair, and from the cassette to something completely unrelated - "Submarine".They exchanged messages again today under the leadership of Minobe, but they still have no clue as to where the program leaked from.In addition, Minobe called the "Unlimited Project" company that sells cassettes, but found nothing. "I asked them how they got the program, but the other party insisted on not revealing. The woman who answered the phone, I asked her to call a technician, but couldn't answer. They must know what they were doing. I saw other programs in the catalog. The program of the product must have been stolen as well."

"How about going directly to their company?" Zhengqing suggested. "I don't think it's useful," Minobu immediately dismissed. "You accuse them of plagiarizing their programs from us, and they won't bother you." "What if you showed them 'Submarine'?" Minobe still shook his head. "Can you prove that 'Submarine' is an original work? As long as the other party says that you plagiarized 'Marine Crash', you will be speechless." After hearing Minobe's words, Masaharu became more and more annoyed. "According to the senior, isn't it possible to steal and sell any program?"

"That's right." Minobe said coldly, "Sooner or later, this field will need copyright protection. Actually, I told my friend who knows the law about it. I asked him, if it can be proved that they stole our program, can we What kind of compensation was requested. His answer was 'No'. In other words, very difficult because there is no precedent." "why is it like this……" "Because of this, I can't wait to find the culprit. After I find him, I will definitely make him look good." Minobe said viciously. Even if you find a plagiarist, you can only punch him a few times at most.Zhengqing felt powerless, and the face of her companion appeared in her mind.Who was so careless that someone stole the program?He really wanted to tell that guy a meal.

It turns out that the program is also a kind of property—Zhengqing thought so again, he was rarely aware of this before.So far, because this program is very important to him, he has handled it carefully, but he has almost never thought that someone will steal it. The Ministry of Mino proposed that everyone make a list of the ones they have shown and mentioned "Submarine" on the grounds that "those who would think of plagiarizing 'Submarine' must know something about it."Everyone listed the names they wanted, and there were dozens of them.People in the research lab, club partners, friends from high school, etc., everyone.

"Someone among them should be related to 'Infinity Project'." Minobe stared at the report paper with the name transcribed, and sighed. Zhengqing could understand the reason for his sigh, even if it was related, it might not be direct.Among these dozens of people, there is no lack of possibility to extend more branches.If this is the case, it is not easy to actually follow up and investigate! "Everyone go ask the person who mentioned 'Submatine' to themselves, there will be clues." The companions nodded in agreement with Minobe's instructions.Although Zhengqing nodded, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Can this really find plagiarists?

He hardly mentioned "submarine" with others. For him, making games is also a part of research. Most laymen find this professional topic boring, and the game itself is far less interesting than "Space Invaders" ". However, once he told about the "Submarine" to a completely unrelated person, that person was Yusui. "What research is the teacher doing in college?" Hearing her question, Zhengqing first talked about the content of her graduation research, but image analysis and graphic theory are naturally not interesting topics for a sophomore girl in high school.Although Xuesui didn't express boredom clearly on her face, she obviously lost interest halfway through hearing it.To get her attention, he brought up the game.Her eyes lit up.

"Wow! That sounds interesting, what kind of game are you guys making?" Zhengqing drew the picture of "Submarine" on the paper and explained the content of the game to her.Xuesui listened fascinated. "It's amazing, it turns out that the teacher can do such amazing things!" "I'm not alone, it's done by my partners in the laboratory." "But, don't the entire architecture teacher understand it?" "yes." "So it's still very powerful!" Under Xuesui's gaze, Zhengqing felt her heart warm up.It was his greatest joy to hear her praise. "I really want to play it too." She said. He also wants to fulfill her wish. The problem is that he doesn't have a computer. Although there is one in the research room, he can't take her there.Having explained this, she looked disappointed. "it's a pity." "It would be nice to have a personal computer. But neither do my friends, because it's too expensive." "As long as you have a personal computer, you can play?" "Yes, just input the program stored in the cassette." "Cassette? What cassette?" "Just ordinary tape." Zhengqing explained to Xuesui that the cassette can be used as an external storage device for the computer.For some reason, she was deeply interested in this matter. "Here, teacher, can you show me that tape?" "Of course you can, but it's useless to look at it. It's just an ordinary cassette, exactly the same as yours." "What's the matter, let me have a look." "Oh, that's good." Probably Yusui thought that computer products were more or less different from ordinary cassettes.Knowing that she would be disappointed, Zhengqing still brought the cassette from home when she went to class again. "Yeah, it's really an ordinary cassette." She held the cassette with the program in her hand, showing an incredulous expression. "Didn't I tell you?" "I just found out now that the cassette also has this purpose. Thank you, teacher." Xuesui returned the cassette to him, "Is this very important thing? It's too bad if you forget to take it away, it's best to put it in your bag right now .” "Okay." Zhengqing agreed deeply, and left the room, putting the cassette into the bag on the first floor.Yusui's relationship with the program only ends there.After that, neither she nor Zhengqing mentioned "Submarine" again. He didn't tell Minobe about this, because it wasn't necessary.He was sure that the chances of Yusuke stealing the program were slim.He hadn't considered her at all from the start. Of course, if Xuesui wanted to, she could have secretly taken the cassette from the sports backpack that day.All she had to do was pretend to go to the bathroom and sneak down to the first floor. But what if she took it?It's no use just stealing it out.To hide it from him, the cassette must be copied within two hours, and the original cassette must be put back in the backpack.Of course, as long as you have the equipment, you can do it.But it is impossible for her to have a personal computer at home, and duplicating cassettes is not ripping OFF COURSE tapes. Assuming she is the suspect, it is indeed an interesting fantasy subject... Thinking about it, Zhengqing smiled unconsciously.The door opened just at that moment. "Teacher, what's so funny? You laugh so happily." Xuesui smiled while holding a tray with teacups on it. "Ah, it's nothing." Zhengqing waved her hand, "It smells so good!" "This is Darjeeling." She moved the teacup to the desk, and he picked it up, took a sip, and put it back on the desk, only to lose his hand and spill the tea on his jeans. "Hey! Why am I so stupid!" He hurriedly took out the handkerchief from his pocket, and a piece of paper folded in half fell to the floor. "Are you okay?" Xue Sui asked worriedly. "fine." "This one fell." As she said that, she picked up the piece of paper, and the moment she saw the content, her almond eyes opened wider. "how?" Xuesui handed the piece of paper to Zhengqing, which had a phone number written on it, a sketch map drawn on it, and Tianchuan Real Estate was also marked.It turned out that Zhengqing stuffed the note written by the owner of the Ikuno shop to Naito in his pocket. Oops!He was secretly worried. "Tagawa Real Estate? Is it the one in Ikuno District?" Her expression was a little stiff. "No, it's not Shengye District, it's Dongcheng District. Look, it says Shenjiang Bridge." Zhengqing pointed to the map. "However, I think it should be a branch or a sister store of Tagawa Fudosan in Ikuno Ward. That store was opened by a father and son, and the son probably manages it." Xuesui was very accurate.While being careful not to show a distressed look, Zheng Qing said, "Oh, that's it." "Teacher, why did you go there? Looking for a house?" "No, I'm just going with my friends." "Oh..." She showed her eyes looking into the distance, "I think of something special." "what?" "The apartment I lived in before was managed by Tagawa Real Estate in Ikuno District. I used to live in Oe in Ikuno District." "Oh." Zhengqing avoided her gaze and reached for the teacup. "Does the teacher know about my mother's death? I mean my biological mother." Her voice was calm, and it sounded lower than usual. "I don't know." He shook his head holding the teacup. Xuesui smiled sweetly: "Teacher, you really don't know how to act." "Uh……" "I know, when I was late last time, the teacher and my mother talked for a long time, didn't you? Did the teacher hear about it at that time?" "Uh, um, I heard a little bit." He put down his teacup and scratched his head. Xuesui picked up the teacup.She took two or three sips of black tea and let out a long breath. "May 22nd," she said, "is the day I will never forget as long as I live, when my mother died." Zhengqing nodded silently.He can only nod. "It was a bit cold that day, and I went to school wearing the cardigan my mother knitted for me. I still keep that sweater." She looked at the chest of drawers, which probably contained items full of sad memories. "You must be terrified, right?" Zhengqing said.He thought he should say something, but as soon as he said it, he regretted asking such a silly question. "It seems to be dreaming, of course, it's a nightmare." Xuesui smiled unnaturally, and then returned to the original sad expression, "That day, after school, I played with my friends and came home late. If I didn't go If you play, maybe you can go home an hour earlier." Zhengqing understood the meaning of her words, that hour was of great significance. "If I had gone home an hour earlier..." Xuesui bit her lip and continued, "In this case, mom might not... just thinking about it..." Zhengqing didn't move at all, listening to her voice turning into a choked sob.He wanted to take out his handkerchief, but he didn't know when to do it. "Sometimes, I feel like my mother was killed by me." "This kind of thinking is wrong. You didn't know the situation but didn't go home on purpose." "That's not what I mean. My mother suffered a lot in order not to let me live a hard life. She was exhausted that day, and the accident happened. If I were more sensible and didn't let my mother suffer, that incident would not have happened." Zhengqing held her breath, watching the big tears fall down her snow-white cheeks.He wanted to hug her tightly, but of course he couldn't.idiot!Zhengqing scolded herself in her heart.In fact, after hearing about the incident, he had a very terrifying imagination lurking in his mind. The truth does not appear to be suicide. An overdose of cold medicine, an empty sachet, a glass of sake, and an unreasonably closed window should all be interpreted as suicide.Contrary to this conclusion, only pouring out the pot of the gas stove. However, the police said that although the soup had poured out the fire, the surroundings of the pot were not too dirty. According to Zhengqing's analysis, it was actually a suicide, but someone spilled the miso soup in the pot and arranged the scene as an accident.Moreover, there is no other person besides Xuesui.And she would explain the doubts about cold medicine and alcohol, so it made sense. Why did she arrange her suicide as an accident?It should be for the eyes of the world.Considering the rest of my life, my mother's suicide can only have a negative impact. However, this imagination cannot leave behind a terrible question.That is——when Xuesui first found out about the accident, was her mother dead, or was there still a glimmer of life? Tian Chuan said that he heard that as long as he found out 30 minutes earlier, his life could be saved. At that time, Yukiho had Karasawa Reiko as someone she could rely on.Perhaps, Xuesui had already felt that in the event of an accident with her biological mother, this elegant woman might adopt her.In this way, when Xuesui finds out that her mother is dying, what action will she take? This is the scariest part of this vision.Zhengqing also thought about it so far, so she didn't continue to reason.However, this idea has been lingering.But now, looking at her tears, Zhengqing deeply felt how despicable her intentions were.How could this girl do that? "I can't blame you," he said. "If you say such things again, Mother in Heaven will be sad." "I wish I had brought the keys back then. Then I wouldn't have to go to the property and I would have found out sooner." "It's really bad luck." "So, I will definitely carry the keys of the house with me now. Look, it's like this." Xuesui stood up, took out the keys from the pocket of the uniform hanging on the hanger, and showed Zhengqing. "It's such an old key ring." Zhengqing said. "That's right. Well, I also had the keys of the house on a string at that time. But on that day, I left it at home and forgot to bring it." She said, putting the keys back in her pocket. The little bell on the key ring jingled.
