Chapter 87: Conclusion of the Case?

"It's also possible, but if it was an accomplice, why would these girls leave a Y?"

Shido questioned.

"Maybe the other murderers who started the attacks also have a Y in their names?"

Kurumi guessed.

"That possibility... is not impossible, but we have no way to verify this."

Shido sighed.

"This isn't the end for us, right?"

Kurumi frowned. She wanted to go to the police station and activate her "Castle of Consuming Time", knocking everyone out, then no one would be able to discover their infiltration!

"Although it's a little hard to say, could someone be framing Yamamoto?"

Shido guessed.

"Are you saying that someone killed five innocent girls just to leave a Y letter and put the blame on him?"

Yukino nodded thoughtfully. There was indeed such a possibility, which could also explain why the murderer did not leave any other clues, but left such a big Y.

"Maybe the purpose of the murderer was not these girls, but Yamamoto himself. That person didn't want to kill Yamamoto, but to make him suffer by ruining his reputation, so he killed those girls and then put the blame on him!"

Shido guessed.

"This is too much! What kind of hatred is there to do this, and sacrifice so many lives!"

Kurumi said unacceptably.

"But Yamamoto is quite popular in the school, and the students have a good opinion of him. It doesn't look like he will offend others so badly."

Yukino frowned slightly and said.

"True..."

Shido nodded in agreement. After all, this was just an assumption, and there was no way to prove it.

"Could it be that someone was jealous of his popularity with girls and wanted to frame him as a murderer?"

Kurumi asked, tilting her head.

"No way! If that's the reason, wouldn't it be more efficient to kill him directly?"

Shido shook his head. The biggest problem with this assumption was why the murderer didn't kill Yamamoto, but went through all the trouble of killing different girls on different days just to frame him.

"Breaking news, another sixteen-year-old girl was killed in this city..."

"What!?"

Kurumi stood up quickly, enraged by the news played on the TV of the restaurant. The previous cases all happened at night, so how come one happened in the morning this time? It was less than a day after the last case!

If she hadn't listened to Shido, she might have succeeded in stopping this murder if she used her method directly!

"Calm down... At least we can prove that Yamamoto is not the murderer, isn't that right?"

Shido comforted her. In fact, he wasn't feeling well either, but there was nothing he could do. After all, they didn't find the murderer.

"Yamamoto is at the police station, it is impossible for him to come out and kill."

Yukino nodded in agreement.

"Who is the evil bastard anyway..."

Kurumi scratched her hair in annoyance. She must crack the case today, or she would return to the world over there by tomorrow.

But this murder case didn't bother them any longer, since the next TV news revealed the "truth" that everyone wanted to know:

It turned out that after verification by the police, although the new victim, Nagato Kamiha died in the same way as those girls and had a letter Y beside her, she was not actually killed, but committed suicide!

This could be confirmed by a simple search of evidence, and more importantly, the police found a letter next to the body, explaining everything.

Indeed, this incident really had something to do with Yamamoto. The beginning of the matter was that Yamamoto became the private tutor of these girls, but the parents of these girls thought that Yamamoto's teaching was not good and did not help their girls get the desired grades, so they were unwilling to pay the tuition fees.

Some parents even threatened that if Yamamoto made a fuss about these things, they would accuse him of sexually harassing their daughters. In this way, Yamamoto did not get a single Yen over months of tutoring.

However, due to the sudden death of his family members, Yamamoto had no financial support for himself. After thinking about it, he tried to ask for the tuition fee, otherwise he would not even make ends meet.

But those rich parents still didn't care how miserable his situation was, they just said that Yamamoto wasted their daughter's time. There was no progress at all, and he did not get a single Yen back.

Because of the death of his family and the ridicule of these wealthy people, Yamamoto finally couldn't stand it anymore and made a plan to kill the daughters of these wealthy families, trying to give them a taste of their own medicine.

So he went to Nagato Kamiha, the girl who had always had a good impression of him, and the two worked together and killed those other rich girls one by one. Since it was Nagato's hand that killed those girls, Yamamoto got some alibi, including that live TV broadcast. Even if it didn't work, he actually still had some other proof to show that he didn't commit a crime.

Nagato thought that Yamamoto would like her if she completed the mission, and she also sympathized with his miserable life, so she agreed to the plan. However, she was mindful enough to leave a Y letter at the murder scene to let the police trace to the true culprit behind the scene.

After killing two girls, the police did not find Yamamoto. At this time, Yamamoto's revenge targets were all gone, and the madness should end like this. But the thing was, Yamamoto proposed three more targets! These girls actually paid him the tuition fee, but they were not polite enough to him, so he believed that they deserved to die as well!

Nagato was sure that Yamamoto had gone crazy, but she had already killed two people and had no way out, so she could only keep helping him. Until today, she finally couldn't bear the guilt anymore, and she didn't dare to go to the police station to confess everything. The only option she had for herself was to commit suicide and have her letter disclose the truth of all this!

"In other words, it was Yamamoto who instructed the girl to kill? Then my reasoning is not wrong, as expected, there was an accomplice! "

Kurumi smiled smugly. She felt a little better. After all, Yamamoto was at the police station now. Once the truth came out, no one needed to be arrested, and he could just go to jail.

"But for some reason, I still feel something is off."

Shido frowned. Would you kill for someone just because you liked that person?

Killing so many people and then committing suicide? It was really hard to understand! Was this the mindset of a Yandere?

It's okay if you couldn't understand, after all, if you could understand the mindset of a Yandere, then you are not so much different from them. Shido didn't want to be a Yandere, so it's better not to understand.

A/N: Could this be the end of the rabbit hole? No way!
