(This chapter is from Miao Mucheng's perspective)
"It's not like that! (Nonsense!)"
“……”
"…Dear Miao Mu, don't be so shocked, okay?”Ye Yin helplessly spoke up for the people who were looking at him with disdain. Even the Black and White Bears sat on the judges 'seats and looked at Miao Mucheng speechlessly.
"Uh…let's not talk about this for now. Asahina-san!" Miao Mucheng was embarrassed for a while before he regained his serious state. He remembered what Hina Asahi had said during the search.
"Eh? Are you calling me?"
Asuna could not keep up with everyone's thoughts. Being called out while she was in a daze was like being called out by a teacher when she was absent-minded in class. She was a little confused.
"Yes, I am. I didn't go to the kitchen to take the knife, so I'm not a criminal. Asahina-san said that she was with Celestine-san last night and saw the dance garden come to the kitchen, right?”Miao Mucheng said.
"Sigh, yes. Celeste and I were making tea at that time when we saw Wu Yuan-chan come in and take a glass of milk…That! Did the dance studio take the kitchen knife?" As she spoke, Hina Asahi seemed to have realized something and cried out in surprise.
"Humph…that might not be the case. Did you see Celestia take the knife?”Ten Gods pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses aggressively and glanced at Celeste on the left.
"Eh? How could it be…"
As she spoke, Asuna, like everyone else, cast a puzzled gaze at the Gothic girl.
“……”
Celeste did not say a word as she felt everyone's complicated and focused gazes. She held hands and maintained her elegant posture.
" Celeste…Hurry up and refute them…" Buru Saki urged Celeste worriedly.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Misty Cut looked straight at Celeste, as if he was eager to know what Celeste was thinking.
Celeste didn't seem nervous at all when she sensed everyone's gazes.
"Because, for this class judge…I just want to be a spectator who doesn't know anything.
Each of you will have your own story and your own set of testimony. As a bystander who doesn't understand the objective truth, I don't want to believe any of you. This is human nature, right? And I'm even more unwilling to make a judgment, so the only thing I can do is listen to you complain and help you sort out your logic. Isn't that good?
"Moreover, it seems quite interesting to see you guys trying so hard to deduce who the culprit is. Hahaha…" Celeste covered her mouth and laughed as she spouted nonsense in a serious manner.
However, her legitimate laziness had fooled everyone.
Why did Classmate Celeste…say something like that? Was it because of the 'my trial' that she mentioned earlier? Does that mean she won't be participating in this student judge? Isn't she afraid that we'll vote for the wrong person? Miao Mucheng's mind was filled with questions that could not be answered.
" How, how could that be…You just want to avoid speaking…so as to reduce the chances of you giving yourself away…" Fu Chuan pointed at Celeste weakly.
"Ah? "I didn't expect you to have a brain as well…Then I didn't bring a kitchen knife. As for proof, you can ask Wu Qie." Celeste smiled and pushed the blame to Wu Qie.
"Brains…? "Ah…haha…" Fu Chuan wasn't angry. Instead, he was a little…excited?
Rien Kuwata's seat was stuck between these two women, and it felt a little awkward.
"Wu Qie, what's going on?”Ignoring the masochist Fu Chuan, Miao Mucheng turned to Fog and asked. Everyone also looked at Fog, hoping that she would give a reasonable explanation.
Wu Qie, she must know more than us…Miao Mucheng had this intuition.
“……”
Fog looked at Celeste, who had pushed the blame to him, and sighed. He said slowly,
"The criminal…wouldn't have gone to the kitchen to take a kitchen knife and attack the dance studio.
There was a gold paint on the right wrist of the dance studio, which meant that her right wrist had been hit by the model knife and fractured. As for the logic of the criminal killing the dance studio and then breaking the dance studio's wrist, I believe no one would agree with it, right?”
"Yes! This is very unreasonable!" Ishimaru supported himself against the wooden railing and agreed. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"According to this deduction, the culprit should be the one who resisted with the model knife, not the one with the kitchen knife.”
"But…But, Wu Yuan was stabbed to death by a kitchen knife? Isn't the criminal holding a kitchen knife?" Owada scratched the back of his head in confusion. It seemed like the biker gang really didn't want to use their brains.
"Is there a need to say that? "It's not impossible for the criminal to snatch the kitchen knife…" Ten Gods pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said arrogantly.
"So, it was Wu Yuan-chan who held the kitchen knife herself?”Enoshima Shiunko laughed strangely." What is she trying to do? Haha…"
"Mhm…Ms. Wu Yuan…she took the kitchen knife that killed herself? Could…could it be the suicide in the manga?？The protagonist created the illusion of suicide to deal with the dark side? " Hmm…I'm a little dizzy…" Yamada shook his round head and looked a little funny.
"Fatty, did you listen to the speech just now? It was said that the criminal snatched the kitchen knife from the dance studio and killed her!”Owada slammed his hand on the wooden fence and shouted at Yamada.
"It wasn't suicide. The black and white bear said from the beginning that the criminal is among us.”Fog Cut looked at the black and white bears on the judges 'seats and said coldly.
"Hey, did I say that? Did he really say that? What if he really committed suicide?" The black and white bear tilted its neck and started to play dumb.
"In other words, the criminal took the kitchen knife that the dance studio took away and then killed her? " Then, those who didn't take the kitchen knife are all still suspects…" Ignoring the black and white bear's misdirection, Ten Gods sneered and looked at Miao Mucheng and Celeste.
"Eh?" Miao Mucheng was stunned.
In that case, the previous proof could not clear his suspicion…
"You, you guys look…! As expected, the criminal was still a sapling…!”Fu Chuan shyly agreed with the Ten Gods.
"Mr. Miao Mu?" Hina Asahi also looked suspiciously at Makoto Miaomu.
"I, I already said I'm not a criminal…!”Miao Mucheng quickly denied.
'I'm not the criminal. Both the dead dance studio and I should know this conclusion. I have to think of a way to get rid of the suspicion. Otherwise, the criminal will really succeed...'
