Chapter 165 Women’s College

The next day, Tie Zhuyu took the initiative to contact Gao Yuan. But when she saw Tie Zhuyu again today, she seemed to be in a much better mood than yesterday.

"Haruki Kubo is under arrest."

When they met, Tie Zhuyu said straight to the point, "An anonymous person handed over to the police complete evidence that he used his identity as a kendo instructor to coerce female students to have sex with him. Mr. Mingzhi, was it you who did it?"

Gao Yuan did not deny this, but he was still a little curious: "Miss Zhu Yu's message was received very quickly."

"Because the police asked me about it."

Tie Zhuyu said, "But I'm not familiar with him, so the police didn't ask any questions."

After a pause, and then seeming to think of something, Tie Zhuyu added: "Of course, I didn't tell anything about Mr. Mingzhi."

"That's it."

After hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after he responded. After all, if the police knew that the anonymous email was sent by him, he would inevitably be questioned by them.

"But now Haruki Kubo deserves his punishment, but there is still no progress regarding the murder of Keiko Okumura."

Gao Yuan said helplessly.

"yes."

Somewhat sadly, Tie Zhuyu said, "The police have made no progress at all on this matter."

"Then did you tell the police about my speculation yesterday?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"kindness."

Tie Zhuyu said, "The police are also investigating in the direction that the murderer killed the wrong person in the villa."

Gao Yuan had nothing to say about this. It would be better if the police pursued this line than doing nothing.

"Anyway, I still want to thank you for what happened yesterday, Mr. Mingzhi."

Tie Zhuyu said, "If you hadn't noticed something was wrong and entered the ward, we wouldn't have thought that Keiko had..."

Speaking of this, Tie Zhuyu choked up.

After calming down, Tie Zhuyu continued: "Mr. Akechi, if Kubo Haruki is really not the murderer of Keiko, what should we do next?"

In response, Gao Yuan just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have an appointment with someone at noon. After meeting her, there should be some progress."

"Hey? Who is it?"

Tie Zhuyu asked with some confusion.

"Remember what Haruki Kubo said yesterday."

Gao Yuan said, "He said that that night, he went back to the kendo club for class. But that day was Monday. I went to the club to find out more and found that there was only one student who would attend Kubo Haruki's class that night."

"So, is that the student you made an appointment with?"

Tie Zhuyu asked somewhat clearly.

"That's right."

Takato said, "Her name is Nishio Ryoko, and she is also one of the students threatened by Kubo Haruki."

Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu seemed to understand, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just followed Gao Yuan to the meeting place, which was a coffee shop near Qinglian Academy in Kyoto.

Entering the store, Gao Yuan told the waiter the reservation information, and the waiter took Gao Yuan and Tie Zhuyu into a private room on the second floor.

The private room is not large, and the decoration is elegant and simple. The furniture inside only has a classic rectangular table and two matching chairs on each side.

Walking inside, Gao Yuan went straight to the chair on the right and sat down. Then Tie Zhuyu thought for a while and sat next to Gao Yuan.

After the waiter introduced the rules of the store in a concise and professional manner, he left the box first.

Looking at the style of the box, Tie Zhuyu suddenly said: "Mr. Mingzhi, are you sure the other party will come? Is the other party a student of Qinglian College? I remember that it seems to be a women's college, and the school rules are quite strict. I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave school during lunch break.”

"But she was also a victim in the Kubo Haruki incident."

Gao Yuan said, "Since you have been looked for by the police, she will naturally be called by the police for questioning. I just asked her to stop by when she returns to school."

"That's it."

Tie Zhuyu exclaimed, feeling that the detective in front of him had done a lot of things since he separated from him yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a little comfort in his heart.

Not long after, the door of the box was opened from the outside.

"Excuse me, Mr. Edogawa...are you here?"

A timid girl poked her head in and said nervously.

"it's me."

Gao Yuan responded, and Tie Zhuyu was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he quickly covered his mouth and smiled, returning to his normal expression.

The person who came was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a school uniform, with curly brown hair, and her bangs were parted in the middle and combed to the sides.

Hearing Gao Yuan's response, the girl looked nervously at the people in the box. When she saw that there was another girl there, she seemed to be relieved. Then she closed the door of the box and walked to the opposite side of Gao Yuan with a dignified manner. sat down.

Although it could be seen that the other party was nervous, her manner from walking to sitting down was very dignified. She had obviously studied it deliberately. It must be said that she was indeed a student of the women's college - Gao Yuan thought silently in his heart.

"Um, Nishio-san."

Gao Yuan said, "I came to you this time, actually I just want to ask you a question."

"Excuse me."

Still a little nervous, Nishio Ryoko said.

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

Gao Yuan said, "Did you go to Kubo Haruki's class on Monday night?"

However, as soon as Gao Yuan said the name "Kubao Haruki", the girl in front of him suddenly began to tremble involuntarily, seeming to be very scared.

"do not be afraid."

Takato stood up, came to Nishio Ryoko, patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Kubo has been caught, no one will hurt you again."

Hearing this, the girl slowly raised her head and stared at Gao Yuan blankly for a while before asking, "Really?"

"That's right."

Gao Yuan said with firm eyes.

So, after thinking for a moment, the girl gave the answer - that night, she did go to the club to take Kubo Haruki's class. Because she was threatened, she didn't dare not go. But the strange thing is that although Kubo Haruki was there that day There was class in the club, but nothing was taught during the whole process, and he didn't even touch Nishio Ryoko. He just stayed there absentmindedly. It wasn't until after class that Nishio Ryoko ran home nervously.

After receiving such a result, Gao Yuan did not ask any more questions and allowed Nishio Ryoko to go back. However, Tie Zhuyu could see that such a result seemed to make Gao Yuan a little disappointed.

"What's wrong? Mr. Akechi?"

Seeing this, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but ask.

"Kubo Haruki, you have an alibi."

Gao Yuan said slightly disappointed.

"But, didn't Mr. Akechi say before that Haruki Kubo was not the murderer? Isn't it normal to have an alibi?"

Tie Zhuyu said in confusion.

"However, when I asked Haruki Kubo about what happened on the day of the crime yesterday, his expression seemed to be that he knew something."

Gao Yuan said, "So I guess he might..."
