"What if I'm not Yi Ji?" Mingyue calmly looked at Jixing Shaonan who seemed very excited in front of her.

"You're not Yi Ji?" Shirogata Shaonan widened his eyes and pulled an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth, "Stop joking, you are Yi Ji!"

The young police officer picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Inspector Megure.

"I'll buy the sweater I promised to compensate you for." Shirigata Shaonan's heart was beating wildly in his chest. He took the warm snow-white sweater out of his arms, but saw the black spots on the clothes that he had made. He rubbed them with his sleeves anxiously, but the more he rubbed, the dirtier it became. The blood and black mud were like stains that could never be washed off.

Shirigata Shaonan was extremely nervous. He was afraid to hear the other person say things like they didn't like the clothes or that the clothes were dirty. What he feared most was being rejected by the only relative in the world. He hated losing, hated separation, and hated tragedy.

Mingyue glanced at the mud and dirty snow on Shirigata Shaonan's coat and pants, then looked at the snow-white sweater with body temperature, and smiled calmly, "Thank you, but unfortunately I can't accept this sweater."

Snake Kui supported Shao Nan and frowned, "Do you know how hard Shao Nan tried to find you? Do you know that Shao Nan has been worried about you? Are you letting him down by saying this?"

"It's because this gift is too heavy that I can't accept it for her." After Mingyue said this, she tore off the disguise on her face, and her gray hair appeared in front of everyone.

A few snowflakes were floating in the air, lightly falling on the gray hair.

Jabami Aoi's eyes widened, shocked by what was happening before her eyes.

Shirigata Shaonan had a look of disbelief on his face. He put his hands into his hair and tore it hard, muttering, "No, it's not like that. Yiji, where is Yiji?!"

Jabami Aoi controlled Shao Nan, who was on the verge of collapse, and recognized that the girl in front of her was Meng Na Ming Yue, who played the piano in the choir competition and had returned to school not long ago.

Mingyue said calmly: "The real Princess Baosheng should be in the hospital now and under the full protection of the police."

Shirigata Shaonan pushed Jabami Aoi away, stumbled to Mingyue, and held Mingyue's arms tightly with both hands, "Who are you? What happened to Yiji? Why is this happening?!"

At this time, the snow stopped, and the last snowflake fell. Only the cold wind was still howling between heaven and earth, tearing Shixing Shaonan's angry roar into pieces.

Officer Megure arrived quickly with medical staff. Seeing Mingyue who had taken off her disguise, he said to the medical staff around him, "Hurry up, hurry over."

Arisa Shiina, whose condition improved slightly after taking antipyretics, and Yoruichi Suzumiya walked at the end of the team. When Arisa Shiina saw the gray hair, she excitedly ran a few steps.

Mingyue felt the pressure on her arm, looked at the familiar yet strange face approaching her, and sighed slightly, "I'm sorry for deceiving you, and I was wary of you from the beginning..."

Shirigata Shaonan slowly released his hold on Mingyue, his hands dropped limply, his eyes were lifeless, his head lowered, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Snake Aoi picked up the sweater that Shao Nan had thrown in the snow. The sweater was cold from the wind. Snake Aoi shook off the snow stuck on the sweater, walked slowly to Shao Nan's side, looked at Mingyue with unfriendly eyes, and said in an unhappy tone: "If I remember correctly, your name is Meng Na Mingyue."

"Yes." Mingyue felt the hostility from Jabami Aoi.

"Why are you doing this?" Jabami Aoi supported the staggering Shao Nan, "Why do you want to play with other people's feelings? Is it for money? For the inheritance of the Shirigata family? Then you have achieved your goal!"

Mingyue opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the medical staff who rushed over.

An elderly doctor shouted to the medical staff running in front: "Check it out quickly, I have the antidote ready!"

The first medical staff who rushed over ran straight to the distraught Shao Nan.

Inspector Megure yelled from behind: "Wrong, wrong, it's a girl, not a boy."

The medical staff looked at Jabami Aoi who had long hair.

Jabami Aoi was stunned at first, then shocked. Thinking of the antidote that the medical staff had just mentioned, she looked at the calm gray-haired girl, only to see Meng Na Ming Yue handing a bag of things to the medical staff.

"Everything in the thermos is here."

The medical staff quickly took it, checked it, and looked at Mingyue, "You didn't drink it?"

"Well, I didn't drink it, so I'm not poisoned." Mingyue said calmly.

Shiina Arisa ran over to Mingyue and looked her up and down, "Are you okay?"

Mingyue just smiled back.

"Hahaha..." Jabami Aoi laughed at this and pointed at Mingyue and Shiina Arisa and said, "So you all knew it! Liars! You are all liars! It turns out you guys teamed up to deceive us."

Arisa Shiina bowed deeply to Jabami Aoi and Shirigata Shonan, "I'm sorry! It was Iki who asked me to find Mona-san and let Mona-san pretend to be her and participate in the previous treasure battle..." Arisa Shiina's voice became smaller and smaller, and was almost covered by the wind.

"Do you have any reason to lie?" Jabami Aoi protected Shao Nan behind him and stared at the two girls in front of him viciously.

Arisa Shiina flinched at Jabami Aoi's gaze, but she seemed to have thought of something and mustered up her courage, "We have to do this for a reason..."

"A lie is a lie! Is the cause more important than the result? You..." Jabami Aoi felt someone pulling his sleeve, turned around and saw Shao Nan's expressionless face, "Shao Nan..."

Shao Nan looked at that calm face, and in a trance he felt as if he was back in his room again. He and Jabami Aoi were standing at the bathroom door, listening to this girl of the same age as him analyzing the current situation, making arrangements for the future, and teaching them what to say and how to deal with possible events. Everything seemed so familiar.

"I want to know why they did this. I want to know what happened to Yi Ji." Shao Nan said calmly.

Shiina Arisa took a step forward and protected Mingyue behind her, just like she did in the villa on the cliff. "This matter has to start with the poisoning of Yiji after she was hospitalized..."

Maori Kogoro interrupted the conversation of several students and said, "Okay, we found the person. You kids should follow the police officer down the mountain now. It's better to leave the investigation of this matter to us adults!"

The white snow on the ground reflects the lights, like the Milky Way in summer, or like fireflies all over the sky.

Suzumiya Yoruichi and four students got into the spacious police car, which slowly drove towards the hospital where Hosou Iki was.

In the dark night sky, a pure white swallow flew among the gray and white clouds.

Mingyue looked at the night view outside the window that kept receding, and listened quietly to Arisa Shiina's account of the cause of the incident.

The cause of all the things might not be complicated. Shiina Arisa finished her story quickly. She looked at Shirigata Shaonan with trepidation.

Shao Nan looked up at Mingyue and asked, "Was it my mother who poisoned me?"

Mingyue turned to look at Shaonan, her eyes rolling, "If it was Madam Cha, then Yi Ji should not have been poisoned this time." After all, Madam Cha is dead, and none of us who survived in that villa would poison Yi Ji.
