Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

After carefully closing the door, she gritted her teeth and looked at "Teacher Sugiyama" who was tied up on the ground.

After hesitating for a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, took off her wig, and prepared to strangle Sugiyama-sensei on the ground.

Just then, footsteps sounded inside the room, and Mr. Yonehara immediately turned around.

Before she could even see the person behind her clearly, she lost consciousness.

After placing Ms. Yonehara on the ground, the disguised Tatsuno clone put a wig on her and then walked towards Ms. Sugiyama.

……

"Bang! Crash!"

The sound of shattering glass echoed through the once tranquil villa.

Upon hearing the noise, Longye and his two companions, who were cooking, along with everyone else in the living room, immediately rushed upstairs to the second floor.

A few seconds later, everyone rushed into the room where Ms. Yonehara was.

The windows inside the room had been broken, and Ms. Yonehara was lying on the floor.

Seeing this, Ran and Sonoko immediately stepped forward to help Ms. Yonehara up from the ground.

"Ah! Ms. Yonehara! Are you alright?!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Ms. Yonehara had only fainted.

Just then, a strange voice suddenly came from outside the broken window: "Good deeds will be rewarded, evil deeds will be punished! Hehehe!!!"

Longye and the two male teachers immediately ran to the window and looked outside.

On the snow outside the window stood a strange man, who appeared to be carrying someone on his back.

Upon recognizing the face of the person being carried by the stranger, the two male teachers immediately shouted, "What?! He's carrying Mr. Sugiyama!!!"

The next moment, the stranger carried Mr. Sugiyama and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chapter 160 I'm Not a Wig

It wasn't until the stranger disappeared from sight that everyone came to their senses.

The two male teachers stayed inside and prepared to board up the windows.

Ran and Sonoko helped Mr. Yonehara up from the ground and moved him to another room.

Longye also called the police.

However, due to the heavy snowfall, the police are unable to arrive immediately. They may not arrive until tomorrow morning at the latest.

Ten minutes later, Ms. Yonehara woke up.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling that something was wrong.

Seeing her wake up, Ran and Sonoko were overjoyed: "Ms. Yonehara! How are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

After hearing their conversation, Ms. Yonehara sat up in bed. She looked at Ran with a puzzled expression, then rubbed her neck.

"My neck...it hurts a little? Wait, just now..."

As her mind gradually cleared, she recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness, and her expression gradually changed.

Before she lost consciousness, she was preparing to kill Sugiyama-sensei with a wig when she was suddenly knocked unconscious.

So, Sugiyama-sensei must have been rescued already, and her plan to kill him... must have been exposed. Thinking this, her heart tightened. To have a former student find out about something like this...

At that moment, Ran and the other girl saw the pain on Mr. Yonehara's face and immediately became worried.

"Mr. Yonehara, what's wrong?!"

"Yes, is something wrong with you?!"

Seeing how concerned Ran and Sonoko were about him, Ms. Yonehara remained silent for two seconds before saying, "I'm sorry, there's something I've been keeping from you. I..."

Just then, the door was suddenly opened, and Longye walked in.

"No need to say anything, teacher, we all know. You... you're wearing a wig, right?"

Yonehara-sensei: "???"

After being interrupted by Ryūno, Ms. Yonehara took back what she was about to say.

Ran and Sonoko were stunned for a moment, then looked at Yonehara-sensei in surprise.

"Really? Ms. Yonehara, you're wearing a wig?" Sonoko asked in surprise, her mouth agape.

Ran poked Sonoko's waist with her finger, signaling her not to ask such questions so loudly, in case there was some special reason why Yonehara-sensei was wearing a wig.

Seeing Sonoko and Ran's reactions, Ms. Yonehara smiled and reached out to remove the wig from her head.

"Don't worry, the reason I'm wearing a wig is because I accidentally cut my hair too short when I was getting a haircut."

Hearing Ms. Yonehara's answer, Ran breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Actually, you look beautiful with short hair too, Ms. Yonehara!"

Sonoko chimed in, "Exactly! Who can blame us when the teacher is such a beauty!"

Looking at the two people joking with her, Ms. Yonehara smiled, but her heart was filled with self-blame and regret.

Seeing the three of them getting along so well, Longye coughed lightly and said, "Now that the teacher is alright, we can rest assured."

"Teacher, you must have been attacked from behind. Luckily, that person wasn't targeting you. But Mr. Sugiyama wasn't so lucky..."

Ryuno's words stunned Ms. Yonehara. She thought about it carefully for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What... happened?"

Under Ms. Yonehara's surprised gaze, Tatsuno and the other two told her everything that had happened.

Upon hearing that a mysterious person had taken Sugiyama-sensei away and left behind the words "good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished," Yonehara-sensei's mind went completely blank.

what?

Sugiyama-sensei was led into the woods? And there's a blizzard raging outside!

Considering the saying "Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished," the reason that person took Sugiyama-sensei away is probably...

Upon realizing this, Mr. Yonehara's eyes widened in shock.

Who is it!

Could it be that someone other than myself wanted to kill Sugiyama-sensei?

Just as she was deep in thought, Longye glanced at his watch and chuckled, "Let's go, dinner's ready. Let's fill our stomachs first."

……

A few minutes later, everyone sat down at the dining table in the living room.

Everyone looked at the delicious food on the table and stared at Longye in surprise.

Ms. Nakamura and Ms. Yonehara exclaimed in surprise, "Amazing! You did all of this by yourself?!"

"Longye, I never expected you could cook!"

"..."

After hearing everyone's praise, Longye smiled politely.

Just then, newspaper reporter Atsushi Mori suddenly put down his chopsticks, smiled, and glanced at everyone around him: "I say~ you haven't forgotten what just happened, have you? If I'm not mistaken, this must be related to what happened three years ago!"

"Shut up!!!"

Upon hearing his words, Mr. Shimoda immediately stood up excitedly, slamming his hand on the table, while the other teachers lowered their heads and remained silent.

Seeing the reactions of Shimoda-sensei and the others, Sonoko asked in confusion, "Excuse me... what exactly happened three years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shimoda immediately turned his head towards Sonoko and shouted, "This has nothing to do with you!"

Sonoko and Ran, who were standing nearby, were startled by his sudden shout and looked nervous.

Seeing this, Ryūno slowly stood up, looked at Shimoda-sensei expressionlessly, and said indifferently, "Oh? You have a loud voice, don't you?"

After hearing what Ryuno said, Shimoda-sensei wanted to speak again.

Just then, Longye appeared in front of him instantly, looking down at him with murderous eyes.

Upon seeing Ryūno's expression, Mr. Shimoda's mind suddenly cleared. He stared at Ryūno in horror, cold sweat pouring down his back.

The next second, his legs trembled, and he collapsed to the ground, speechless.

For some reason, he seemed to see the murderous aura emanating from Longye, and he felt that if he said another word now, something bad would definitely happen.

Seeing that Shimoda-sensei was no longer going to say anything, Tatsuno put away the murderous intent in his eyes, walked back to his seat with a smile, and sat down.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Seeing everyone remain silent, Mori Atsushi smiled and began to speak to himself: "Hmph~ Three years ago, in the ballet club of Beika Elementary School, a primary school girl named Mochizuki Minako hanged herself. It's said that she was under too much pressure from exams..."

Then, he changed the subject: "But perhaps the truth isn't like that at all. Am I right? Minako's homeroom teacher at the time, Ms. Akiko Yonehara? And the advisor of Minako's ballet club at the time, Ryuichi Sakai? And Minako's health teacher at the time, Minori Nakamura..."

"As for this Kohei Shimoda, although he doesn't seem to have any direct relationship with Minako, you all saw his exaggerated reaction, didn't you?"

After hearing his words, Ran and Sonoko looked at the teachers present in surprise.

If the newspaper reporter is correct, then almost all the teachers present were connected to Mochizuki Minako, who hanged herself.

Chapter 161 A person's face is not just one

If that's the case, then...

At this moment, everyone in the living room fell even more silent.

Sensing the silence in the living room, Longye said softly, "In that case, I roughly understand, and what happened before is not hard to understand."

"Presumably, that Minako didn't die by hanging, but was..."

"And that Mr. Sugiyama is definitely involved in this matter. That mysterious man must be a relative of that girl."

At this point, Ryūno quietly glanced at the teachers and continued, "Speaking of which, he could have quietly killed Sugiyama-sensei and left. But before leaving, he deliberately said 'that sentence' to us in a provocative manner."

If I'm not mistaken, this means there's still someone among us involved. That man might come back to commit another crime!

After hearing Longye's words, everyone present showed expressions of astonishment.

Although they didn't want to admit it, they knew that Longye's analysis was correct.

If Minako hadn't died by hanging, but had been murdered, then everything would make sense.

The strange man took Sugiyama-sensei away for revenge!

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Mr. Shimoda sitting on the ground.
