Among the four girls involved in this case, there are only two people Kuboi Riko really wants to kill, and that is Kanda Akina and Aizawa Ryuhei.
The reason is also very simple, resentment and jealousy.
In school, whether it was academic performance, drama performance or personal appearance, Kuboi Michiko had always been inferior to Kanda Akina, which made her extremely jealous.
And after Kanda Akina and Aizawa Ryuhei gradually developed a relationship beyond normal, the jealousy in her heart expanded to the extreme.
I couldn't compare to you in everything, but now you want to take away my only important teacher? !
As a result, Kuboi Riko's jealousy towards Kanda Akina gradually turned into murderous intent at this moment. What also made her murderous was Aizawa Ryuhei, who she thought had betrayed her.
As for Kanda Akina, she must have been aware of Kuboi Riko's inner thoughts.
As a result, the girl fell into a huge guilt and pain that she could not get out of.
Kanda Akina's abnormal reactions noticed by Karasuma before she was finally poisoned and died, as well as her constant mouthing of words like "I'm sorry" after being poisoned, are all manifestations of the extreme trouble in her heart.
As for the remaining Sanae Miyamoto and Airi Kida, they are "innocents" who were completely involved.
Among them, Kida Airi was taken advantage of by Kuboi Riko after seeing through her inner conflict with Miyamoto Sanae, and cooperated with Kuboi Riko to complete the initial exchange killing.
The most innocent person is Miyamoto Sanae. She truly has no conflict with anyone in this case.
This lively sport, a girl who likes tennis, was poisoned and killed by her "good friend" just because of her crazy jealousy. In the end, she even almost cheated on her married class teacher, and also... There is such a stigma as having performed surgery on the other person.
This is also the reason why the boy was so surprised when he figured out the truth of this case.
Even he found it difficult to understand how strong the obsession and jealousy must be to make a girl who should be innocent reach this level.
"Officer Baihe, do you have anything else to ask?"
In the living room, since just now, the boy and Kuboi Riko have been feeling like they were "rushing to get off work".
The boy kept asking and verifying all the details about the case, and Kuboi Michiko did not hide anything or hesitate. She answered whatever the boy asked, and the two spoke one after another, completely showing the full picture of the case. .
At this time, Xiao Karasuma on the side suddenly noticed something strange.
She discovered that she didn't know when it started. The body of Kubojing Road, who was sitting opposite them... had been trembling slightly?
[Is she scared? Afraid of being arrested by the police? 】
"Is it really worth it?"
The boy didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Kuboi Road, and his tone remained calm as he asked the last question.
Kuboi Riko didn't seem to expect that he would ask this question. She was stunned when she heard the sound, raised her head slightly, and there was a trace of confusion deep in her eyes.
Soon, two tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Kubojing Road was stunned for a long time, and finally raised her hand tremblingly, clutched her chest, bent her eyes, and showed an extremely bitter smile to the boy, cried:
"Thinking about it carefully, I still feel a little regretful..."
The next second, a trace of blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of Kubojing Road's mouth.
"Hello?! What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xiao Karasuma stood up subconsciously.
As the blood gushed out, Kubojing Road could no longer maintain an upright sitting posture. She fell forward weakly on the coffee table, knocking over the tea cup in front of her, looking extremely painful.
【cup? Could it be? ! 】
Looking at the teacup that fell on the floor, Karasuma's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Is there poison in that cup of tea? !
Kubojing Road, did she just poison herself? !
It was only at this moment that Karasuma finally realized what the boy meant by "Your time is running out" to Kuboi Riko.
No wonder the two of them were so anxious just now. One kept asking and the other kept answering without any pause... Did this wooden man just realize that Kuboi Road wanted to commit suicide? !
But...why didn't he stop it?
There is obviously this opportunity... Even if he is a heinous criminal, the boy who is destined to become a police officer should not just let him go...
Subconsciously, Karasuma turned to look at the boy next to him, only to find that the boy's face was still calm and unmoved by the scene in front of him. Sister Keiko, who was sitting on the other side, lowered her head in silence. Know what you are thinking about.
"Just, when I just want to regret it... it's already... too late..."
Blood continued to pour out of his mouth, and under the boy's gaze, Kuboi Road slowly lost all his strength, and his body slid towards the floor.
"I actually... really want to say I'm sorry to them... I want to go back... to the time before I started..."
After leaving these last words, Kubojing Luzi fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
Perhaps because the original aconite powder had been used up by Aizawa Ryuhei, the poison she gave herself was not aconite, so her death was completely different from the previous three.
As for her last words, the boy could not tell whether they were true or false.
However, during the final investigation conducted by the police, the boy learned that when Miyamoto Sanae died of poison, Kuboi Michiko rushed forward and cried for a long time next to the body of her good friend.
"..."
In the living room, from the time when Kubojing Road was poisoned until her death, the boy did not say another word. He just sat there, watching this scene with calm eyes without saying a word.
And Hatoyama Keiko, who usually dominated the atmosphere, kept her head down at this moment, silent and not knowing what she was thinking.
For a moment, the living room fell into an extremely eerie silence.
This kind of silence made Karasuma, who was shocked by Kuboi's suicide, feel suffocated and uncomfortable. In other words... it made her very uneasy.
An urgent voice deep in her heart was telling her repeatedly that she must break this silence, otherwise, otherwise... something bad might happen.
Driven by this inner voice, Karasuma couldn't help but speak.
"Well, sister Keiko, wooden man, should we notify the detective outside? Or, or try to call an ambulance? Maybe Kuboi-san, she might still..."
"That's right, Karasuma, please go and notify the detectives outside and let them in."
Finally, Hatoyama Keiko spoke.
She looked at Karasuma who was standing by and said with a smile.
"good!"
Now that Sister Keiko had spoken, Xiao Karasuma felt relieved. He immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
The weird atmosphere in the room just now really scared her to death. Fortunately, the look on Sister Keiko’s face meant that she was overthinking...
With this thought in his mind, Karasuma suddenly stopped as soon as he took two steps.
Because Hatoyama Keiko spoke again, but this time it was to the boy.
"Xiao Qing, you know that she wants to commit suicide, right?"
