"But even though this is a school, the facilities here are really complete."
When Kanzaki Teru ran into this room just now, he even saw the common living area and the recreation room. It was completely unimaginable that this was a school.
Moreover, this room seems to be Maizono Sayaka's private living room, and if someone told Kanzaki Teru that this was a hotel, he wouldn't have any doubts.
Strangely, all the windows in the rooms were nailed shut with steel plates, making them completely airtight and preventing even a ray of light from getting in.
........ . .......
"I fainted as soon as I entered the campus, and then woke up in a classroom."
Kyoko Kirigiri pointed in a direction, implying that she must have woken up in the room next door.
"However, most people here are in this situation, and then we were gathered in the stadium."
Then the monokuma who called himself the principal appeared and said that if anyone wanted to leave the school, they had to participate in a game of mutual destruction.
Hearing her say that, Kanzaki Teru understood why they hadn't been too surprised when they saw the supernatural creature earlier.
And we also learned one of the reasons why this murder occurred.
"Although this is a strange question, I still want to ask..."
"Go ahead and ask. After all, you have amnesia, so I won't be surprised if you ask some strange questions."
Although she said that, Kanzaki Teru had actually foreseen Kirigiri Kyoko's reaction.
Chapter 326: The Motive for Testing
Are monobears...common outside?
"How is this possible!"
"I knew it......"
Although she was mentally prepared, Kirigiri Kyoko was still a little surprised by Kanzaki Teru's inexplicable question.
However, Kanzaki Teru certainly didn't ask this question to upset her, but rather to get to the answer eventually.
He needs to eliminate all options in order to find the ultimate truth.
"Go on."
"However, although it is said that we should kill each other, we would definitely not do such a thing."
So we spent a peaceful time at school, but...
"Monokuma certainly won't let this situation continue."
Although the conversation was brief, Kanzaki Teru was able to sense Monokuma's wicked nature.
Or perhaps it's due to the wicked nature of the person controlling Monokuma, after all, if this isn't some kind of surreal world.
The only plausible explanation is that someone is manipulating that perverse doll behind the scenes.
"That's right. After all, the school has all kinds of facilities, so there's no need to worry about survival."
Food is replenished daily, though it's unclear where it comes from.
So we had absolutely no motive to kill, and that's when Monokuma appeared.
Just by listening to Kyoko Kirigiri's account, Teru Kanzaki knew just how desperate the situation was.
Even under such circumstances, she remained calm as she recounted what had happened, proving she was no ordinary person.
"After he appeared, he said to us, 'The location, setting, and characters are all the elements of a mystery novel, so why hasn't a murder occurred yet?'"
Before Kyoko Kirigiri could explain, Teru Kanzaki already knew the answer to the question.
"Because you have no [motive]."
Nodding, Kyoko Kirigiri agreed with what Teru Kanzaki had said.
"After all, we are just high school students. We have neither the determination nor the intention to kill."
He deliberately emphasized the word "we," so that even without doing so, Kanzaki Teru would understand what the other person meant.
"After that, Monokuma gave us the 'motive' and prepared a video file directly in the audiovisual room."
Because I have lost my memory, I don't feel anything about the above content.
Even so, seeing such a scene would surely make one's heart clench, let alone seeing someone connected to oneself.
Therefore, the content of the video should reveal the killer's motive.
Although it's unclear what she saw, the content of the video was definitely not good.
"So that's it."
Muttering to himself, Kanzaki Teru looked thoughtfully around the room.
After all, normal people don't kill without a reason; there needs to be a motive for killing.
The reason why serial killers are not easy to catch is because they have no motive and the police cannot find any clues.
In 90% of cases, there are some kind of relationship between the victims and the suspects, because hatred only arises from a relationship.
Crimes of passion, revenge killings, robbery... these are the kinds of reasons that would keep people investigating.
If the purpose of killing was merely for pleasure, it would be extremely difficult to leave any clues.
Now, there is only a group of high school students here who have no grudges against each other. Without a motive, they would be unlikely to have the thought of killing someone.
Although the motive issue has been resolved, it hasn't helped Kanzaki Teru clear the culprit's name.
Because they all had a motive to commit a crime, including Kyoko Kirigiri.
However, this clue might come in handy. After investigating this room, let's go check out the screening room.
Kanzaki Teru had made this plan in his mind, but he wanted to test Kirigiri Kyoko first.
After all, if the detective himself commits the crime, it would be very difficult for an ordinary person to find the truth.
So Kanzaki Teru stared directly and blatantly at Kirigiri Kyoko. Throughout history, words have only accounted for about 30% of human communication.
The remaining 70% is conveyed through actions, eye contact, and various small gestures.
However, if the other party realizes that they are being watched, these movements will become more stiff, making it easier to reveal flaws.
That's why Kanzaki Teru deliberately stared at Kirigiri Kyoko in a way that would make her notice, but she was obviously already used to being stared at like that.
Even when she noticed Kanzaki Teru's gaze, she didn't show any unnatural behavior.
"Are you doubting me?"
"No, no, it's just that your concern for this case is indeed due to a detective's instinct?"
It is said that criminals have a habit of returning to the crime scene to observe their achievements and also to take the opportunity to investigate how much intelligence the police actually possess.
Chapter 327: The Meaning of Truth and Falsehood
Kyoko Kirigiri is now showing an unusual curiosity about the case, which could be due to her detective instincts, but it could also be because she is the culprit.
"I feel like I've seen similar scenes in mystery novels."
Seeing that his opponent had not revealed any flaws, Kanzaki Teru prepared to test him further.
However, upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's seemingly unfounded remark, Kirigiri Kyoko's brows furrowed slightly.
"what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, but do you know the twenty rules of detective novels?"
"Are you referring to the twenty rules of detective fiction summarized by American author S. Van Dane?"
"That's right, one of the rules is that the criminal should not be the detective himself or a member of the police force."
Although this statement is a bit convoluted, do you think we would be able to realize we are in a false world if we were living in one?
"That's impossible to know, so after all this, are you still doubting me?"
"Do I need to make it so clear, Detective? After all, you've been suspecting me all along."
Although Kanzaki Teru was examining the body, he didn't miss Kirigiri Kyoko's gaze.
Although she tried to cover it up, Kanzaki Teru was not going to miss the eyes of laymen.
Are you saying that this means we're even?
"I didn't say that. After all, it's better to be cautious in this situation."
Ultimately, only you know whether you've done anything wrong, and easily believing others isn't a wise move.
"I'll just agree with what you said for now."
After saying that, Kyoko Kirigiri prepared to leave.
After all, she had already investigated the room, and there was no point in staying any longer.
Watching her departing figure, Kanzaki Teru was speechless at his own naiveté.
"Go and investigate where everyone was when they died."
Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's words, Kirigiri Kyoko paused only slightly before leaving.
"Let me check if there are any other clues in this room."
After all, although Kanzaki Teru has roughly guessed the cause and effect of this incident, he has not yet identified the culprit.
So they wanted to see if there were any other clues in the room, since this should be the primary crime scene.
Furthermore, Kanzaki Teru only examined the body and did not search the entire room.
However, just one glance is enough to tell that this is a girl's room, and there is no special reason for it.
However, the atmosphere in the boys' room is completely different from that in the girls' room; it gives a more grateful and tidy feeling.
There were quite a few cosmetics on the dressing table, but even so, Maizono Sayaka's love of beauty had not diminished.
I thought there might be some clues in the trash can, but it had already been emptied.
"Haven't you seen this part yet?"
Kanzaki Teru had looked around the room thoroughly, examining almost every possible spot, even under the bed.
However, there was still not much to be gained, and now only the wardrobe remains unopened.
