I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Among them were blades that appeared to be the murder weapon and were covered in blood.

The boy asked the person referred to as "M" among the tens of thousands of viewers about the cause of death.

"The answer that he simply died from a stab wound and massive bleeding seems too simplistic. What exactly was the purpose of this person's live stream?"

Aki Tomoya muttered softly.

Takagi, however, wore a look of surprise on his face: "Tokyo really does have all sorts of people!"

In my second year in Tokyo, I saw a live stream like this.

"What game is this person playing with that Dr. M?"

It wasn't just Aki Tomoya who was puzzled; probably most of the people watching this live stream were wondering what his purpose was.

"...Majima, what are you doing?"

At that moment, Takagi noticed Majima's subtle movements and looked over curiously.

The other person is drawing on the torn-off paper with a pen.

"I visually estimated the length of the blade of the suspected murder weapon. You saw it too, right? The three places where there was subcutaneous bleeding were just a centimeter away from piercing the skin. Hmm... that's about it?"

Majima drew a rough sketch of the body on paper with a pen, marking the locations of wounds and subcutaneous bleeding points.

"It fits perfectly."

A hint of doubt flashed in Aki Tomoya's eyes after seeing the drawing by Mashima.

"That's what puzzles me. Generally speaking, if it's three stabs, the angles should be different, but the bleeding points and the wound locations match too perfectly."

Majima shrugged. The bruises around the lividity were a bit noticeable, but they were there before the person died, the result of long-term beatings.

In such a suggestive situation, he couldn't help but start analyzing.

"...His wounds didn't reopen, he didn't struggle much, and there were no signs of him being tied up. He was killed obediently. Is that what you want to say, Majima?"

Takagi was taken aback at first, then said with some surprise.

He remembers the wound clearly.

If the person was not restrained or held down, and was not struggling, the wound should not be so intact.

Similarly, the subcutaneous bleeding point and the location of the stab wound on the back should not match so perfectly.

He obediently got killed...

This statement doesn't make sense at all.

However, since the unnatural aspects have been discovered, this incident can no longer be viewed as a simple murder case.

"The purpose of the live broadcast is more important than the cause of death."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya said something with a somewhat complicated expression.

The cause of death was easy to determine: a stab wound to the back, resulting in massive bleeding and death.

But that's clearly not enough.

Is this a prank?

"Takagi, are you taking this as a prank?"

As soon as Takagi finished speaking, Aki Tomo glared at him, somewhat annoyed.

Things suddenly became complicated.

The body was real, yet it was broadcast live so openly in front of tens of thousands of people without being cut off. The internet censorship department must be incredibly careless.

Someone has died, and the boy in the live stream seems to be implying that the person was murdered, but there are still many questionable points.

"I don't want to say it's a prank... but what exactly is his purpose in doing this live stream is really something I'm curious about!"

Takagi replied sullenly, his gaze returning to the screen.

Majima then picked up his pen and started writing again.

"Weapon, bruises, students, school, beating..."

As if summarizing keywords, Majima connected them with lines after writing them down, forming a series of connections.

"Murder or suicide."

At the very bottom, he wrote the last two words and then added a question mark.

Mashima put down his pen and looked at Aki Tomoya and Takagi beside him, as if asking for their opinions.

"……suicide."

Aki Tomoya hesitated for a moment, but ultimately leaned towards the latter and committed suicide.

As he looked at what Majima was writing on the paper, new ideas popped into his mind.

"Kill yourself."

Like Aki Tomoya, Takagi also prefers the latter.

After listening, Majima sighed, glanced at the live stream playing on his phone, and then at the paper in his hand: "I also think it was suicide."

The three fell silent for a moment. This was just a guess; to definitively prove it was suicide, more substantial evidence was needed.

Based on this assumption, what the three people cared about was the purpose of this live broadcast.

"There is a suspected case of bullying that occurred before the death."

Aki Tomoya thought to himself, took Majima's paper and pen, and wrote down this sentence.

Bullying.

This conjecture stems from the signs of further beatings on the body.

It was formed before death.

The cause of death can simply be stated as death from massive bleeding due to a stab wound; this is the specific cause of death that will be stated in a forensic medical report.

There are other versions of the story.

What Aki Tomoya cared about was not the fact that the deceased died from massive bleeding caused by a ruptured artery, but rather the suspected suicide rather than homicide, the marks of beating on the body, and the purpose of this live broadcast.

Beside him, Takagi and Majima probably thought about the same thing.

In light of the current situation, attributing the death to "death from massive bleeding after being stabbed" is far too perfunctory.

Looking at the boy reciting in the video, what he wants to convey is what truly matters.

What was the cause of death?

Chapter 333 The Real Murder Weapon

What caused the death, and what was the real weapon that killed the person?

Is it the blade that appeared in the scene?

That could indeed be the murder weapon that caused the direct death.

But that wasn't the real murder weapon.

The real murder weapon was something else entirely.

"Oh, is that so?"

Takagi sighed at this moment.

They actually lack sufficient evidence to prove that the deceased committed suicide, rather than being murdered.

It's just speculation based on the available information.

Their guess was more likely that it was suicide.

Taking the suicide as an example, the bruises that are so noticeable are then linked to incidents like school bullying.

The fact that he committed suicide due to bullying, which ultimately led to this live broadcast, seems to make sense.

They had some idea of ​​the boy's purpose in doing the live stream.

"Unfortunately, people only care at this time. Everyone is forgetful. If his purpose was to expose the so-called bullying to the world, he could be said to have commendable courage, but it's a pity."

Majima's tone at this moment was both wistful and slightly indifferent.

While speculating that the person committed suicide, they also analyzed the situation and guessed the boy's purpose in live streaming.

No evidence is needed, because the people who need to prove it are not them.

If the facts are indeed as they imagined, Majima actually feels it's a real shame.

"You're so cold-blooded, Mashima!"

Takagi frowned and retorted unhappily.

Meanwhile, Aki Tomoya shook his head and said with a complicated expression, "Mashima was just telling the truth."

Human emotions are actually very easy to be stirred up.
