Xiao Ai raised his head slightly, looking at Gao Yuan beside him with his ice-blue eyes. Looking at the melancholy expression on his face that he had never seen on Gao Yuan's face before, Xiao Ai couldn't help but be curious. asked.
In response to this, Gao Yuan's thoughts came back from his confusion when he heard Xiao Ai's voice.
He turned his head and looked down at Xiao Ai, who was beside him at this time. He saw her tilting her head slightly and looking at him with a dull expression, as if she could not see any emotion——
"Haiyuan..."
Looking at the girl who appeared here in pajamas, Gao Yuan blinked and said with some surprise:
"Why...you haven't slept yet? It's not early now."
Facing Gao Yuan's inquiry, Xiao Ai turned her gaze forward, looking at the night seascape outside the balcony in front of her, and replied calmly:
"I can't sleep. Ever since I started researching the antidote, I haven't even slept at this time, so I can't sleep."
"oh……"
Listening to this explanation, Gao Yuan nodded silently, and then suggested:
"But this is a rare trip, why not take a good rest?"
"That's what I thought."
In response, Xiao Ai closed her eyes lightly, as if sighing, then opened them again and said slowly:
"It's just that so many things happened today that I can't sleep."
With that said, Xiao Ai looked up at Gao Yuan again and couldn't help but ask:
"So? Why do you look melancholy? Didn't your reasoning go smoothly when we were next door just now? Was it because the subsequent investigation didn't go well?"
Thinking about Gao Yuan's confidence when he exposed the actions of Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Zuoyama in the room next door, No. 1901, and compared with the confused Gao Yuan in front of him, Xiao Ai couldn't help but wonder.
"Um……"
In this regard, Gao Yuan did not deny that he indeed encountered great difficulties in the investigation——
I came here because of "Yin Dou's Mysterious Journey", and as for the truth of this incident, I have basically confirmed the truth of the incident through various insinuations...
I thought that I would be able to handle this incident well in this way, but who would have thought that after going to a fireworks display, the entire development of the incident would completely deviate from my expectations——
Another incident that was suspected to be from the original work happened in front of him at the same time, and seemed to intersect with the "Yin Dou Mysterious Journey" incident that had no doubts in the first place, making the completion of the two incidents beyond his expectations.
As a result, now, although it seems that I have the plot of the original work as a reference for the events that are happening now, in fact, my thinking seems to be restricted by the plot of the original work. The preconceived notions are too strong and I can't change them for a while. .
And this is the key to why he is now somewhat helpless about what happened.
Listening to Gao Yuan's response, Xiao Ai looked a little surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
In this regard, Gao Yuan felt depressed after hearing Xiao Ai's question. After a moment of silence, he still told Xiao Ai about the matters that were later investigated and said clearly:
"Right now, there is no evidence to prove that Masahiko Michowaki committed the crime... But now I am unable to view this incident completely objectively, and I still have a bias against Masahiko Michowaki."
Listening to Gao Yuan's narration, especially Gao Yuan's last confession, Xiao Ai raised her head and looked at Gao Yuan who still seemed confused at this moment. She couldn't help but blinked in surprise and asked:
"So, are you blaming yourself for not being able to make an objective judgment on the incident from the beginning?"
Saying this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but recall that at the fireworks display scene, Gao Yuan had directly targeted Masahiko Michowaki's behavior from the beginning, and felt that Gao Yuan was indeed what he said, starting from the fireworks display incident. From the beginning, he was prejudiced against Masahiko Michowaki who appeared next to Sonoko.
"Well...that's almost the feeling..."
Gao Yuan did not refute this.
But after saying this, Xiao Ai suddenly covered her mouth and smiled softly——
"Haiyuan?"
Seeing this, he noticed Xiao Ai's smile. Gao Yuan, who was already very confused, couldn't help but asked in surprise, wondering why Xiao Ai was laughing because of this.
Xiao Ai, on the other hand, quickly suppressed her laughter, stretched out the hand covering her mouth to her ear, pushed back her hair that was blowing in the wind, and kept her hand behind her ear, her face Still smiling, he turned to look at Gao Yuan and said with a faint smile:
"So, you are actually worried, right?"
"Why?"
Subconsciously, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be startled when he heard what Xiao Ai said, but he quickly realized that what Xiao Ai said was indeed correct and that he was indeed worried——
I am worried that Masahiko Michowaki is the murderer in the original work and his purpose of approaching Sonoko. I am also worried that if he is the murderer who successively attacks brown-haired women, then it seems that Xiao Ai and Tie Zhuyu will also be the murderer. His target even includes Akiko Zuoshan next door...
All in all, if he is the murderer and is still around him and others, then he is too much of a threat to the people around him, so out of this consideration, he must target him in this way.
However, even with such targeting, he still found no evidence...
Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but lowered his head in the direction outside the balcony and fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Xiao Ai looked at Gao Yuan's expression at the moment and roughly understood what he was thinking, so he followed Gao Yuan, facing the direction outside the balcony, and said calmly:
"I just heard Tie Zhuyu say something about the incident that happened when you and she met in Kyoto..."
"Why?"
Turning his head and looking at Xiao Ai beside him, Gao Yuan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Tie Zhuyu and Xiao Ai would talk about such a thing.
Xiao Ai also gave an explanation:
"Didn't you guys tell me that I have encountered criminals who preyed on girls with brown hair before? So out of curiosity, I asked Tie Zhuyu about the specific matter..."
As he said this, Xiao Ai suddenly turned his head and looked at Gao Yuan, with a slightly meaningful smile on his lips and said:
"However, I didn't expect that that incident turned out to be the incident where you and Tie Zhuyu met!"
In response, Gao Yuan blinked and briefly recalled the details of the incident——
Indeed, it was his second promotion challenge mission. He was looking for Ooka Hongye as an opportunity to meet Tie Zhuyu, and the preliminary investigation of this promotion challenge mission basically revolved around Tie Zhuyu, so Because of this, he and Tie Zhuyu established a good relationship during that incident.
But at this time, what did Xiao Ai do when she brought up this matter?
Although in that incident, there was also a prisoner who was paranoid about brown-haired girls, this was still different from the incident he was encountering now.
But, then again, the reason why the prisoner in the promotion challenge mission was extremely obsessed with the brown-haired girl seemed to be because that person had met Miyano Shiho back then, and was therefore attracted by Shiho's I was fascinated by the appearance...
But, Tie Zhuyu doesn't know the reason, right?
It should be said that in theory, no one in the world except myself knows that the person the prisoner saw at that time was actually Miyano Shiho...
No, wait a minute, have you mentioned this to Xiao Ai?
Because of that photo?
Recalling this, Gao Yuan still didn't understand why Xiao Ai mentioned this matter at this time, so he couldn't help but reply:
"Indeed... Miss Moroyu and I met at that time."
