"The mouse only appears every now and then, even if it does come out, I will chase it away." Zhutian said confidently, puffing out his chest.

"Haha, you are very brave unlike your appearance." Li Le praised.

Zhutian smiled and waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this, Wu Geng, do you want some tea?"

Saying so, she took out an orange jug, turned the lid off, and poured amber liquid into the inner lid.

"This is hojicha, please use it."

This way of drinking tea is very traditional.

After Li Le took it, he smelled the aroma of tea.

"Did you do it yourself?"

"Hehehe, I come here occasionally to secretly make tea." Zhutian said with a happy smile.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Having said that, after Li Le drank the tea, he placed the inner lid on the table.

"Okay, I'm already here. Can Zhutian-san tell me everything you know about Senior Sorrow's Er?" Li Le asked solemnly, and at the same time took out of his pocket the letter of Senior Sorrower that Mr. Zhutian gave him yesterday. letter.

Taketian silently picked up the notebook on the table, put the letter into the notebook, and carefully hugged the duck notebook to his chest.

"Student Wu Geng, I don't know much...but this letter was really written by the second senior."

"I know this, but this letter looks like it's a self-report. It couldn't have been given to you by Senior Scholar, right?" Li Le said calmly.

Takeda's expression changed obviously, and then she sighed and said, "Yes, this letter is not for me..."

She looked at the bookcase in the underground library, and murmured, "Senior Shou Er really didn't give it to me. The letter was in the book, and I found it by chance."

Li Le simply said: "It must be caught in the book "No Longer in the World"."

"Yes, because I heard people mention this book in class, saying that it has magical powers... I took it out and read it out of curiosity, but I found this letter stuck in the book. After reading it, I was terrified. I jumped, and after I finished reading "Disqualification in the World", I have been very concerned, wondering if there will be something wrong with the second senior, and he wrote this letter with such a painful heart, I decided to go to The Bow and Archery Club is looking for the second senior, "Student Zhutian said slowly.

"But there is no such person in the bow and arrow club."

Zhutian's eyes widened, and then he said excitedly: "No, yes, Mr. Shu Er is a member of the bow and arrow club."

Li Le was a little confused, and then said: "I'm serious, I went to the president..."

"Really, please believe me." Zhutian classmate showed a very pitiful look.

Li Le was in a very complicated mood, and said immediately: "That letter quoted the first manuscript of "No Place in the World". Tell him what you know."

Takeda shook his head feebly, and said with a wry smile: "I probably can't help you, the second-senpai, that's all I know... I'm an idiot, even if I read "No Longer Human", I still can't understand what is expressed in it... ...I am too ordinary and too stupid, and my mind is very bad, I will never be able to understand Dazai Osamu or Shuji-senpai's thoughts of longing for death...I just feel very sad and cruel...Shouji-senpai, he I can't understand what kind of mood I'm in... That's why I asked Wu Geng, you to help me write a love letter. If this is the case, it may make Senior Shu Er happy... But, I still can't touch it The heart of Senior Shuji...I want to understand him, but I can't understand...I can't understand the pain of Senior Shuji..."

Her words revealed doubts and more sadness, and Takeda's expression was extremely lonely and sad, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Le didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only silently stay by her side, looking at Zhutian classmate with gentle eyes.

Zhutian stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, picked up the mug, and said firmly: "This mug was given to me by my best friend. She always said that I was like a stupid duck. Falling down in a place where there is nothing, very ordinary... I know that I am such a person, even though I am, I want to help Shuji-senpai who is in pain. As long as I can do something for him, I will try my best to do it .”

She seemed to have made up her mind, and her words had strong penetrating power and perseverance.

Li Le can't deny Zhutian's feelings, she really likes Senior Shou Er.

Kataoka Shuji is not in the bow and arrow club, but it exists with Takeda classmate. Maybe it is because of some misunderstanding that she thinks Kataoka Shuji is a member of the bow and arrow club.

Looking at her sad, after thinking for a long time, Li Le looked at her, and said gently: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand "No Place in the World" or you can't understand Senior Sorrow Er... as long as you keep working hard, Sorrow Er The senior will definitely be moved by you, besides, it is better not to understand, to relax, to be simple is better than anything else."

Zhutian pondered for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "... I see, thank you."

Then she changed the subject and said: "I have something, I want to ask you, can you go to the bow and arrow club with me tomorrow? The second senior will be there too."

"The senior will be there too. Well, I'll go with you tomorrow." Li Le replied.

"After school tomorrow, I will look for you in the classroom." Zhutian said happily.

. . . . . . . . .

the next day.

"Okay, let's go, classmate Wu Geng."

Takeda-san seemed to be in a good mood, and said happily.

Maybe I can meet Shuji-senpai. . . .

After coming to the bow and arrow club.

"Sorry, we are here to visit." At the entrance and exit of the practice field, Zhutian said loudly.

"Ah, it's Qianai, long time no see."

The president had a look of surprise, and then all the club members ran over, all looking very happy.

Takeda-san is very familiar with the people here. . . .Is there really such a person as the second senior?

Li Le was about to ask the president, but at this moment, four or five adults came over.

They're probably around 30-4o the way the sword looks.

With a friendly smile, he greeted the people present:

"Hey, fellow apprentices! Have you practiced hard?"

Surprise on the face of the president:

"Ah, it's seniors, fellow students, the seniors who graduated are here!"

It seems to be a graduate alumnus who came to see the practice situation. There is only one woman in it, and the others are men.

At this time, Zhutian explained to Lile: "I heard that the alumni who graduated will come once a month to guide everyone to practice. The handsome man with a beard at the corner of his mouth is Manabe-senpai... He has been in the school for ten years. When the former school team won the runner-up in the national competition, I also served as the captain, and now I still call up the team members at that time to guide these juniors.”

Li Le nodded, and then whispered to Takeda, "Why hasn't Senior Kataoka Souji meet anyone yet? When will he come?"

"Soon, it will come." Zhutian said happily.

Li Le always felt that something was wrong, and then looked at Manabe-senpai who was guiding the freshmen.

At the moment, he thought to himself that since he would come to school for a period of time every month, he would guide these juniors. . .Maybe they know something.

So Li Le secretly ran to find the president.

"Please help me ask Manabe-senpai about Kataoka Shuuji."

Although the president was a little puzzled, he still agreed, a very good old man.

Then he ran to ask Manabe-senpai. . .After returning, he said to Li Le.

"Manabe-senpai said that Kataoka Shuuji-senpai was at the same time as them...but Kataoka Shuuji made them very unhappy. Manabe-senpai said he didn't want to mention this matter again."

Knowing this information, Li Le was shocked. It turned out that this was the case, that is to say, Kataoka Shuuji really existed, and it was indeed the bow and arrow club.

But it was the former bow and arrow club. . . .

After knowing this, Li Le calmly returned to the side of Zhutian who was watching carefully.

Later, it was almost to the end.

Only then did Zhutian say, "Senior Chou Er, I don't seem to be here today."

Li Le nodded, faintly feeling that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, that Zhutian was secretly planning something. . . .Maybe it's necessary to look into the matter of Kataoka Shuji.

Chapter 69

the next day.

After school.

Li Le told Yukinoshita Yukino all the information she had inquired from Zhutian classmate.

"So that's the case. The matter has escalated to the point where it has to be taken seriously. This entrustment incident will be put aside. I will tell you, I know."

Yukinoshita said lightly, and then she took out a newspaper to Li Le.

Li Le said thank you and took the newspaper.

Yukinoshita's sensitivity and insight are quite strong, probably because of her relatively high IQ.

This can be regarded as her advantage, which is not annoying sometimes.

Li Le looked at the newspaper in his hand. It was an old newspaper with news from many years ago.

Then Li Le saw a very shocking news. . . . .

Ten years ago in May, third-grader Kataoka Shuji (17) jumped to his death from the top of the building.

The news also said that he stabbed himself in the chest with a knife before jumping off the building. . .The police investigation also said that because he left a suicide note at home, it was deemed a suicide.

That is to say, Shou Er-senpai died a long time ago, and Takeda-san is just lying about writing letters all this time. . . .

Yukinoshita said: "Now you understand, you are just being cheated."

"Yes, things exceeded my expectations, but I was wondering why Takeda-san would do such a thing? What good would it do her...?"

Li Le asked in astonishment and bewilderment.

Yukinoshita thought for a while before she calmly said, "I guess it has something to do with Kataoka Shuji's suicide ten years ago."

"There are more and more mysteries about this matter. Ten years ago, did something happen that caused Kataoka Shuji to commit suicide..."

Li Le thought about it and said.

"That's right... Kataoka Shuuji has a girlfriend in the same grade... The name is Sakiko Jojima, and I heard that they have a very good relationship.

Sakiko is a well-behaved, considerate and beautiful girl. Shuji cherishes her very much. I heard that Shuji often brags about the relationship between the two of them with his friends.I like to show off this girlfriend to everyone.

Sakiko also loves Shuji very much. After Shuji's club activities are over, he will go to wait for him in front of the bow and arrow club, and then the two will go home together sweetly and harmoniously. . . .But the good times didn't last long. . . .

Not long after the two entered the third year of high school, one day Shuji was delayed by club affairs, and Sakiko had to go home alone, but died in a car accident. . .Because Kataoka Shuji committed suicide not long after, and the suicide note left behind probably meant that he didn't want to live without Sakiko.

But things are not that simple, why is there another thing that looks like a suicide note in "No Longer Human"? .Have you ever thought about one thing Kataoka Shuji is not suicide? " Yukinoshita said seriously in his eyes.

"...You mean, the knife on his chest was actually pierced by someone else?" Li Le replied seriously.

"Because a suicide note was also found in his home, and there was only Kataoka Shuuji's fingerprints on the knife...but I don't think this possibility can be ruled out." Yukinoshita brushed her hair and said Her reasoning: "Ten years ago, Kataoka Shuji, from the first letter, he has always had negative and suicidal thoughts, but he has never acted... until something happened, he suddenly "suicide" , but this matter may not be because of her girlfriend, but because the key person mentioned in the letter is the abbreviation s."

Li Le suddenly realized and said: "It was said in the first letter he wrote, that s saw through his disguise, and s will destroy him sooner or later."

"That's right, maybe this s is what destroyed Kataoka Shuji." Yukinoshita said leisurely.

"Then, who is this s? Looking at the letter, it must be someone very close." Li Le said in a daze.

"Yes, Kataoka Shuuji has three close friends who belong to the same club... but I didn't know that they would come to school every month."

Yukinoshita said.

"From the archery club... Manabe-senpai?" Li Le immediately thought of it, no wonder he asked the president to ask Manabe-senpai, but the other party didn't want to mention Kataoka Shouji anymore.

"That's right, they are Shigeru Manabe, Yasuyuki Soda, and Rihoko Sena... besides that, they are Kataoka Shuuji's girlfriend.

They often take their girlfriends and travel with five people. . .Rihoko broke up with Manabe after graduation. . .Started dating with Tian Tian, ​​and now the two are married. "Xue Xia said slowly.

"It has been investigated to this point, if the matter is related to them, if it is called s for short...the names of the four of them.

Manabe Sigeru, Soeda Yasuyuki, Sena Rihoko, and girlfriend, Kijima Sakiko.

These people have an s in their first or first names, and their girlfriend, Kijima Sakiko, has an s in their first or last names in Roman alphabet. "

Li Le pondered for a while and said, "Who is which s?"

"Insufficient information, it is impossible to judge now..." Yukinoshita said suddenly.

Then she said: "Student Zhutian, perhaps because he found something, he started to investigate and used us by the way."

"Is that so... That child, why did he do this? If there is any problem, just tell us no?" Li Le sighed and said regretfully.

"That's why I said that she is not as simple as she appears on the outside... Are you happy that you have been fooled by her for so long? Now that I have told you the truth, I won't disappoint you, a pedophile orangutan. ?" Yukinoshita sarcastically said.

Li Le spread his hands and said: "There is no way, cuteness is justice! I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of being confused by justice."

"Is that so, your level of evolution has not reached the level of apes, but the thickness of your skin has surpassed theirs. You are already a mutant species, and the wild natural area will welcome you very much."

"Okay, I'm not here to listen to your venomous tongue... I surrender, now tell me, do you have any clue about this incident? I think Takeda-san will definitely not give up, even if we see through her use , she will start from other places, maybe she wants to find out the truth about the suicide of Kataoka Shuji senior."

Li Le waved his hand and said.

"That's true, but it's also true that she lied to us. To be honest, I think she's still hiding something." Yukinoshita's tone was affirmative.

Li Le also nodded in agreement and said, "It's okay, I will find a way to get Zhutian to tell the truth."

"Then you go... But I don't plan to count on you, because people like you will only be defeated by your perverted hobbies."
