After deciding that we will gonna solve this case by ourselves,while the remaining of our classmates are left behind from the spare room as we didn't really needed them here,I decided to followed Ayumi-san in the classroom.She was already got there before me to examine Chinatsu-san's body.

When I arrived,I saw her doing something.

When I got closer,I realized that she was offering a condolence prayer to her.After doing that,she finally noticed me and said.

"So you finally here,Hashimoto-san."

"Thank you very much for doing that,

Ayumi-san."

"That was nothing special.Or should I say,that was a normal thing to do when we saw a person who passed away."

"You're right."

I couldn't help but to agree.Anyways,I began examining Chinatsu-san body.

Her body was stabbed by a knife in her abdomen through to stomach,resulting to her 'cause of death'.However,the murder weapon itself was still intact from there.Meaning,the culprit doesn't have the intention to bring the knife to them.But of course,she could just had put it somewhere here.

I didn't see anything weird around her like note or something that will gonna gives us clue to the murderer.Her body was in upward position;her head pointing to the window and foot pointing to blackboard.

On the other hand,I checked her pockets to see if that 'thing' is there.After checking both side pockets,I found her small notebook.If I'm remember correctly,this is where she put wrote down the title of the novel and the name of my favorite character that she asked me the other day.I confirmed it after scheming this small notebook.

By the way,this where I will write everyone's alibis and possible motives.That's why I searched for it.

"Ayumi-san,can you ask someone to carry her body in the corridor?.Also,cover her body with a cloth."

"I understand.But will you not pull out the knife from her stomach?."

"Oh,that?."

Should I pull it out or not?.After some seconds of thinking,I decided to choose the latter.

"I think we should keep it stick in in her stomach.The blood may flow out if we removed it."

After saying that,Ayumi-san left the classroom as she follow my instructions.Meanwhile,I examine the the whole classroom.I just realized that the decoration was already finished and we are supposed to celebrate here happily.Unfortunately,we will not be able to do that anymore.

After scheming,I saw on the vacant chair the illustration that Chinatsu-san give to me just this early morning.I still couldn't believe that that will be the last time I will gonna be able to talk her.Really,why a murder must happened here.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

And come to think of it,I still haven't get back the novel I'm reading to the canteen,isn't?.

Also,the chocolates.Maybe I will just get that later after asking everyone with their alibis.I'm almost there to the solution part from that novel and was supposed to finish it today but that earthquake occur and what's more,a tragedy happen.

As I reminiscing the moments,Ayumi-san arrived,together with Hoshino-san and Ichika-san.

Hmmm.What a strange duo.I mean I didn't expect they will be the one who will gonna volunteer to help.

"Where she will gonna carry her,Ayumi-san" asked by Hoshino-san.

"Just on the outside of the corridor."

After that,they immediately obey her without hesitation.Normally,someone will gonna vomit if they a corpse just like what happen in Kanakura-san.But it seems like they are just like me and Ayumi-san,who didn't mind seeing a dead body.

But aside from that,Hoshino-san and Ichika-san are the type of tudents who would not do something like this,voluntarily.

Ichika-san supports on the corpse's hands,

while Hoshino-san on the foot.Together,

they lifted her up and carried her in the corridor.After doing that,Ichika-san asked.

"Is that all?."

"Yeah.For now,you can just go back to the spare room.We will just called you out again later for the interview."

The who answers her is me.After saying that,they left the scene.Meanwhile,Ayumi-san get something from a bag,which is turned out to be a huge red cloth.

"Is that yours?."

"Yes.It was supposed to use in here in this classroom but I never thought we will gonna end up using it as a cover for our classmate's corpse."

After saying that,she go towards Chinatsu-san's dead body,fix her position a little bit then finally cover her with the huge red cloth.

As I look back,I saw that there are some blood remain from where she was lying.But I immdetiately ignore it.It makes to remember Chinatsu-san's corpse.

"By the way,why the two gals the ones you ended bringing here,Ayumi-san?."

"Ah about that,both of them are not really interested on carrying a corpse but Reina-san is the one who asked them to help me so they couldn't refuse.I'm actually surprised with that."

"Maybe she want to show her sympathy at least once."

After that a short silenced had occur.Oh,I'm almost forgot to asked this question.

"By the way,how's Yahiro-san?."

"Sensei said that she still not showing any signs of waking up."

"I see."

"Did Yahiro-san perhaps suffer from something after the earthquake?.It is not normal,you know?."

"Well,let's just pray that she wakes up soon before this day ends."

That's right.I promised that I will solve this case before the sunset.And we need her testimony before that happen.She might gives us some clues for who might the culprit.

And speaking of Sensei,I forgot that I borrowed her phone since I want to take photo of the classroom.Also I request to her that if possible,I want her to watched our other classmates since the culprit(which is of course one among us)might do something wierd or unusual.And if that happened,she can report that to me.

But I'm sure that they will not do that since it they may become suspicious.But still,for the safety,I still asked her.

'Really,why I'm always forgot the most important things.'I mutter.

"Hmmm?."

"Ah no.Nothing."

She probably heard what I said,but I immediately said it was not something she need to worry about.

Anyways,I pick up the phone on my pocket,go to the camera and take a photo of the classroom.Then I decided to keep Sensei's phone for a while.

After doing that,I said:

"This is where we will gonna do the interview among our classmates and stuffs,Ayumi-san.

Of course,let's start it from you."

I sit to the chair on the table near to front of the blackboard.Meanwhile I asked Ayumi-san to pick up a vacant chair and aligned it in front of me.Of course,she sit down to that chair.

"Now then,Ayumi-san.What did you do before the earthquake occurs?.Let start when you asked me to leave the classroom earlier from the morning.And Iike you to tell every detail as possible. "
