The goal of life is to break up all couples

What a polite way to praise someone for being shameless.

Azusa Matsueda's tactical retreat: "Where did you go for further training? Why are you so aggressive?"

Yumiko Miura was speechless: "Is this the question you should be asking? It's like the company of vermilion attracts vermilion, and the company of ink attracts blackness."

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the door, but no one pushed it open and entered.

Songzhi Zi called out: "Come in."

But what responded to him was not the classroom door being opened, but an envelope being stuffed directly through the crack of the door.

Then there was a burst of hurried footsteps getting farther and farther away.

"??"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"What's going on?"

Matsueda Azusa walked to the door in confusion, pushed it open and looked out, but did not see the person who knocked on the door. He just barely saw a figure flash by at the end of the corridor.

Hikigaya Hachiman bent down, picked up the envelope that had fallen on the ground, and carefully opened it.

There was only a piece of paper inside, but there was no handwriting on it. Instead, it was a collage of words cut out from different newspapers and books, forming a paragraph:

[Anonymous report: Ayano Mitsuki and Shaoyan Lemon may be in an impure relationship. Please pay attention to the impure relationship monitoring department.]

"?!"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Matsueda Azusa in surprise: "Buyer, you are still a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts!"

He put the anonymous letter of complaint on the table, and soon everyone could see what was written on it.

Miura Yumiko lives in Bengbu: "You're really into spy games, aren't you? How come you even have informants?"

"What? I have an informant? How come I don't know about this?"

Matsueda Azusa pointed at himself blankly, then raised his finger and waved it: "It's obvious that our great reputation has convinced everyone in the school, so they spontaneously support us and assist us in our work. This just proves that we are on the right path!"

Chapter 73 Who is the suspect?

"Is it really……"

Hikigaya Hachiman stared blankly.

Anyone who could deliver anonymous letters in this way has a problem no matter how you look at it.

They are hiding their true intentions and I always feel like they want to use them as pawns.

Matsueda Azusa waved his finger and said, "Hachiman, bring me my notebook."

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya Hachiman skillfully took out a small notebook from the pocket of Matsueda Azusa's school uniform jacket hanging on the back of the chair and handed it to Matsueda Azusa.

Miura Yumiko curiously examined the seemingly ordinary little notebook. "Is this your Death Note?"

"Don't look at it, your name isn't on it."

Matsueda Azusa glanced at Miura Yumiko.

Miura Yumiko was surprised: "So good? Is this true?"

Songzhi Zi rolled his eyes: "You don't deserve it."

"..."

Miura Yumiko was speechless. "I really wish your inappropriate sense of humor had a long neck so I could strangle it."

"It's not a joke, it's just the truth."

Matsueda Azusa responded while flipping through the notebook: "Let me look for it, Ayano Mitsuki and Shaoyan Lemon... Hey, Shaoyan Lemon is your classmate Wenshui."

Wen Shui Heyan nodded when he heard this: "Indeed."

"Because I heard they were childhood sweethearts, I wrote them down in my notebook. But based on my initial observation, while they might have had feelings for each other,... due to their personalities, the probability of them being in a relationship without outside interference is extremely low. It's not something I need to actively intervene in... No wonder I don't have much of an impression of them."

Matsueda Azusa rubbed his chin. "Hmm... the threat level is probably about the same as Kuda Kusuke and Yanami Kyouna. Logically, there's no need for me to break them up. Unless something special happens, they're unlikely to be together anyway. Could it be that things have taken a turn for the better recently?"

Yana saw Kyoko crying and said, "How come Kusuke and I have become synonymous with the impossible relationship?"

"Oh, that's not the case. The two people who are not likely to be together are Yumiko Miura and Hayato Hayama. You are a little better than them."

Songzhi Zi waved his hand and comforted him: "You are just a loser."

Seeing this, Yana burst into tears again, turning her grief and anger into appetite.

Miura Yumiko, who was cueed for no reason, had veins popping out of her forehead, and they started to hurt each other: "Oh? So, according to you, what level are you and your ex-girlfriend?"

"It's the level of dating and then breaking up. Although it's also bad, it's slightly better than not even dating at all."

Matsueda Azusa replied casually, then flipped through her notebook again: "Well, but... although the probability of Ayano Mitsuki and Shaoyan Lemon being involved is low, it seems that there is another suspect involved. However, I haven't put much effort into following up... Captain Wenshui, Corporal Yanami, as classmates of these two suspects, do you have any firsthand information worth sharing?"

“I’m not quite sure about this…”

Yanai shook his head.

Wen Shui He Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Although I don't really know the inside story, Ayano Mitsuki and I attend the same cram school outside of school. He's usually pretty close to another female classmate there. But as to whether they're in a relationship... I really don't know."

Hearing what Numizu Kazuhiko said, Hikigaya Hachiman recalled what Matsueda Azusa had just said about the real suspect being someone else, and couldn't help but look at Matsueda Azusa in surprise: "Captain, you can spot clues even when someone's having an affair outside of school? You're not spying on Sobu High School all day, are you?! Even your spies are spreading outside of school?"

"That's not the case. I really don't know what's going on outside of school. I don't go to cram school, so how could I know about this..."

Matsueda Azusa scratched his cheek. "But I remember the other suspect was also a student at Sobu High School... Wenshui, which school is that girl from the cram school you mentioned from?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shui and Yan Yan added: "I didn't have time to mention it just now, but she is also from Sobu High School, in the same grade as us, and her name is Chihaya Asagumo."

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly realized: "So it's something that happened on campus..."

Matsueda Azusa flipped through the notebook in confusion. "Chihaya Asagumo? I seem to have heard of this name... but it's not recorded in the notebook at all. I don't have any impression of this person."

Miura Yumiko looked at Matsueda Azusa suspiciously. "Is there anyone at Sobu High School you don't remember? Don't you spend your time on meaningless things like this every day? And you've missed something?"

"What do you mean there's someone I don't remember? Am I some kind of encyclopedia of Sobu High students?"

Songzhi Zi held his forehead in silence and said, "Most students are not worth my attention at all. To be honest, if you were not in the same class as me, considering your priority level that can't even get into this little notebook, I might not know you."

Miura Yumiko was stunned when she heard this: "So I'm so unlucky because I'm in the same class with you!"

"Hey! You can't say that. How can you say it's bad luck? It's obviously good luck."

Matsueda Azusa waved his hand and then asked Wenshui Kazuhiko again: "Wenshui, what is your impression of that classmate Asagumo Chihaya?"

"Hmm... to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to it. I only found out she was from our school the other day when I saw her come to class to look for Ayano Mitsuki. At that time, Ayano Mitsuki happened to come to me to ask about the literature club. She heard from somewhere that I was a member of the literature club and wanted to ask if she could borrow some books from me. But he didn't seem to have heard much about the recent disbanding of the literature club."

Onmizu Kazuhiko shrugged. "As for Asagumo-san... I just remember she was a pretty famous student in our cram school. She was cute and had good grades... Oh, and she did usually hang out with Ayano-san at cram school."

"Oh huh?"

Matsueda Azusa examined the anonymous letter with interest. "This is starting to get interesting. This anonymous letter clearly reports Ayano Mitsuki and Shaoyan Lemon, but in reality, the person Ayano Mitsuki is having an affair with is someone else... And the guy who's actually having an affair hasn't even been picked up by my anti-relationship radar yet?"

Miura Yumiko subconsciously complained: "What is this anti-love radar?"

"Just something that won't work on you."

Matsueda Azusa waved his hand and answered casually.

Then, he reached out and picked up the anonymous letter, examining it carefully. "Who do you think might have sent this letter to us?"

Apart from Yanami who was eating snacks with a confused look on his face, Numizu Kazuhiko and Hikigaya Hachiman looked at each other and thought for a moment.

Hikigaya Hachiman hesitated and said, "If we rule out the possibility that this person has no connection with the two people being reported, and is reporting out of pure jealousy and malice... then the biggest suspect would be Chihaya Asagumo."

Onmizu Kazuhiko nodded in agreement, but at the same time, he felt a little strange. "But... that's strange. Even we can see through such an obvious situation at a glance. With Asagumo Chihaya's intelligence, she shouldn't do such a thing... Isn't she afraid of setting herself on fire?"

Hearing Wenshui and Yanyan's doubts, Matsueda Azusa nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I'm also confused about this. According to Wenshui's description, Asagumo Chihaya has excellent grades and a good reputation. If that at least shows that her IQ and EQ are high."

"We tentatively assume that her IQ is above average. So, before she did this, she shouldn't have been unaware that Wen Shui was a member of our club, and she probably knew about her and Ayano Mitsuki's intimate behavior outside of school..."

"Under these circumstances, knowing that the possibility of being exposed was very high and that there was even the possibility of getting into trouble, yet still doing it... this motive is truly puzzling."

As he spoke, Matsueda Azusa moved closer and looked at the letter again.

He sniffed slightly, "Hmm... there's a subtle, faint fragrance... a bit like the smell of antiperspirant spray."

As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the people looked at Matsueda Azusa with indescribable expressions.

Miura Yumiko spoke frankly: "Matsueda, you... you are so nice!"

Songzhi Zi defended himself: "What's so bad about that? It's basic quality for investigating a case."

Chapter 74: Love Brain War (?)

"If I remember correctly, this antiperspirant spray...is used more by the girls in our school's sports clubs."

Matsueda Azusa continued to analyze.

Miura Yumiko looked at him with a look that gradually changed from disdain to fear: "Are you...are you serious?"

"No, isn't this something that's hard to spot? If you pass by the playground during club activities, and there are girls from sports clubs nearby, it's impossible not to smell the smell of this antiperspirant spray mixed with sweat, right?"

Matsueda Azusa innocently explained, "To be honest, it's already polluting the environment. I was being magnanimous by not going to the student union to complain. It's not like I deliberately sniffed it."

"Ah, now that you mention it... I remember now."

Onmizu Kazuhiko looked thoughtful after hearing this, and after a moment's recollection, he said, "I've smelled this smell before near Shaoyan-san. The Minister is right, it's very strong and it's really easy to smell."

Seeing that Onmizu Kazuhiko actually said this, Miura Yumiko stopped looking at Matsueda Azusa with strange eyes.

She rested her chin on one hand, pondered for a moment, and joined the discussion about who had written the letter. "Hmm... so, if the deodorant spray on this letter is the type commonly used by the girls in the sports club, then it's very likely that one of them made it. Wenshui just mentioned that Shaoyan also uses this deodorant, right? Could it be that... this letter was written by her?"

Yana stopped eating when Kyouna heard this and raised her hand in confusion. "Then why would she do this? Anonymously report me? Isn't that strange? If Ayano-san and Asagumo-san are close, and Shaoshio-san likes Ayano-san... then logically, shouldn't she report Asagumo-san? Why is she trying to hold me back instead?"

Songzhi Zi weighed the envelope in his hand and thought for a moment.

If you think about it from a normal person's perspective, it is indeed the same as what Yanami Anna said. Doing so makes no sense at all and is simply shooting oneself in the foot.

But if you think from the perspective of a guy like him with a dark heart and evil thoughts, and from the perspective of conspiracy theory...it is actually not impossible to explain the motivation behind this behavior.

"That doesn't necessarily mean I'm holding myself back."

Matsueda Azusa pondered for a moment and then said, "It's an indisputable fact that Shaoyan-san is lagging behind in this love dispute. This is true both from the information Wenshui provided and from what I've observed."

"At the same time, Ayano-san has another relationship that's progressing even faster, and Onsui knows about it... So obviously, in this situation, if we really take action... who would we target to break them up?"

Miura Yumiko quickly reacted: "Given your personality, you'll definitely ignore the unlikely success of Shaoyan Lemon and instead go after Chihaya Asagumo, who has the potential to be a good match!"

This is a romantic spy movie.

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but make a tactical retreat.

Why are there so many conspiracies and intrigues? Why is the struggle between those vying for love so intense?

As if seeing through Hikigaya Hachiman's thoughts, Matsueda Azusa nodded at him: "The dispute over persimmons has always been like this."

Yanai saw that Xingcai opened her mouth in surprise and said "Aba Aba" after hearing it.

Onmizu Kazuhiko wiped the sweat from his forehead. "While what the Minister said makes sense, it's not that I'm prejudiced against Shaoyan-san, but I think with her intelligence... uh, I mean... with her personality, she wouldn't do something so roundabout and deceptive as to harm others."

Hiss, that's true.

Songzhi Zi scratched his cheek.

Yana saw Kyoka think about it and nodded: "From my impression... I feel that Shaoyan-san is definitely not the kind of girl who is so scheming."

Onmizu Kazuhiko silently grumbled, "After all, he's the type who says things like 'If you keep studying you'll become stupid,' even though his grades are at the bottom."

Although it is an excuse for burning salt and lemon, why does it sound weird?

"Who else could have done this?"

Miura Yumiko was puzzled. "Could it be that Chihaya Asagumo deliberately sprayed antiperspirant spray on the envelope to mislead us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Songzhizi suddenly understood.

"Let me go, are you really a genius?"

Matsueda Azusa looked at Miura Yumiko in surprise: "When the false is real, when the real is false, false is real. It turns out that you are the master of love tactics, Miura!"
