Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 88 Hokkaido School Trip (Part 1)

  Winter is getting deeper.

   On the way to and from school in Higashinohara, the sky above his head was either dark or clear, and the old bare trees on the side of the road swayed in the wind.

  After the carnival of the Ice and Snow Festival ended, the atmosphere on the streets did not become deserted, because the traditional Gregorian New Year in Wano Country will soon be here.

  The Gregorian New Year in Wano Country is the Spring Festival, which is the biggest festival in the second half of the year in Wano Country except for the Ice and Snow Festival. Generally, December 29th to January 3rd are national holidays.

After the Ice and Snow Festival of Zhuyuan Minami Private Academy died in a terrorist incident, the school was closed for two days and adjusted. On the 27th, Higashinohara went to school to complete the cultural exams of the second semester. It's so important, after the exam, the winter vacation will be announced directly.

  In the classroom, the homeroom teacher Asuka Tachikawa mentioned the school trip to Hokkaido immediately after announcing the holiday news.

   It is expected that the two classes will start on the 28th tomorrow, for three days and two nights. It just happens to be the last two days of the end of the year.

  Speaking of which, the academy just experienced a terrorist attack like the Ice and Snow Festival. Although there were no serious accidents, many students who were frightened were generally in a poor mental state in the past two days.

   I just took the opportunity of this school trip to go out to relax and change my mood.

   "Higashi, your home is in Hokkaido. You must treat me well this time. I heard that you have a younger sister. We can come out to play together." Hayato Aida in the back seat said slyly.

   "Six years old."

   Higashinohara gave him a blank look.

"Pity."

  Hayato Aida shook his head in disappointment,

   "." Higashinohara.

  You are a pity for a hammer.

   If you really come out to play together, then I won't be entertaining you.

   But you have to entertain her well.

Higashinohara thought of the younger sister Higashino Yukino in the memory of the original owner. She was a small person like a bean, but her personality was much more outgoing than him. have a common language.

  Speaking of which, Higashinohara’s main purpose of participating in the school trip this time is to be able to go home for free.

According to the memory of the original owner, his family is in Shari County in the north of Hokkaido. In the past, when he went home by himself, he would take the Shinkansen from Shin-Tokyo to Hakodate, which took six hours, and then took a three-and-a-half-hour stunt tram to Sapporo, Hokkaido. , and finally take the bus to Shari County.

  After arriving in Shari County, if he doesn’t want to bother his family to pick him up, he can take a 40-minute bus ride back to his final destination, Koshimizu Town, a small fishing village adjacent to the North Sea.

  Back home, basically a day is gone.

  But "following the group" is different.

  Asuka Tachikawa, the homeroom teacher, said that tomorrow morning, we will gather at the gate of Takehara Minami Private School and take the school bus directly to Haneda Airport. It only takes one and a half hours to arrive at New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, Hokkaido, which greatly saves him the time spent on the road.

Speaking of it, the bus ticket plus the three-day and two-night tour in Hokkaido, the class fee is definitely not enough. Fortunately, the rich woman Tachikawa Asuka has covered all the expenses, and even the class fee may be paid out for everyone to study. Pocket money on the road.

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara couldn't help but sigh again, it is beautiful to have a rich head teacher.

  After the class meeting, everyone in class F of the first year was very happy. Some of them couldn't hold back their troubles and even showed off to the people in the next class, which made many people in other classes very envious.

  Of course, there are also people who say that class F, a weedy class with repeated students, is mostly in the light of class A. After all, Tachikawa Asuka is the head teacher of two classes, and this time the two classes are traveling together.

   This statement cannot be refuted in ordinary times.

  But now Class F has Higashinohara who publicly defeated the head of the Trinity Orientation Department in the actual combat class and refused the invitation of the Trinity.

  You said we are weeds, how many people in your class have been actively invited by the Trinity Council?

  Although this statement is not convincing, just like the average of you and the richest man can’t mean that you are rich, but it’s hard to refute the sour words for a while, so you can only hold your nose and admit it.

  Speaking of which, it's not that the other classes don't have school trips, but compared to the level of luxury of Class A and Class F in the first year, their psychology is naturally a little unbalanced.

   There is still some aggrievedness in this imbalance.

   Their grades cannot advance to class A, and it is absolutely impossible to get into class F for a school trip in the future. They are stuck in the middle without embarrassment.

  After school, Higashinohara and Aida Hayato said hello and walked out of the classroom with their bags.

   While changing shoes in the shoe cabinet, he happened to meet a girl with a round face, Ryoka Kame.

  Speaking of which, since the last incident at the Sakura Crossroads, she was injured and hospitalized, and she was not discharged until after the Snow Festival. Today is the first time she met at school.

   After Kame Ryoka came to school and heard about what happened at the Ice and Snow Festival, plus the previous encounter between China and Russia in the dark alley next to the intersection, she recalled the back figure wearing the dark golden dragonfly mask over and over again in her mind.

  All day long today, Ryoka Kamu looked at Higashinohara with a little evasive gaze. She wanted to say something, but she was not sure and she was afraid of self-defeating.

   Guessing wrong will only increase embarrassment.

  If you guessed right.

  The other party cares so much about hiding their identity,

  What should I do if I am silenced?

  When changing shoes, Ryoka Kame, who was entangled in her heart, secretly glanced sideways at Higashinohara from time to time.

  Under the blessing of [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] talent, Higashinohara quickly noticed this kind of peeping. After seeing the cautious look of the round-faced girl, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and took the initiative to say hello:

   "Kamame-san, what's the matter?"

  Ryoka Kamu was dazzled by the smile on Higashinohara's face, feeling in her heart that 'the handsome guy is really scary', and she reacted immediately, and quickly waved her hands and said:

   "Ah no. No no no"

  After waving her hands, she seemed to feel that the range of body movements was a bit exaggerated, so she quickly put down her hands and clutched the corners of her clothes, lowering her head as if she didn't know what to do.

   Higashinohara glanced at the trembling wisp of hair on her forehead, chuckled, but didn't ask the question, but changed the subject and said, "I heard that you were hospitalized a while ago, and you are recovering well."

"Uh-huh."

  Ryoka Kame nodded quickly.

   Higashinohara has already changed his shoes at this moment. He is not very familiar with this round-faced girl. He tapped the tip of his shoe on the ground and said with a smile, "That's good, see you tomorrow."

   After speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave.

  Unexpectedly, at this moment, Kamu Ryoka looked at Higashinohara's back, and suddenly mustered up the courage in her heart to bow suddenly.

   "Thank you Higashino-san."

   Higashinohara stopped in his tracks, turned around, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face just right, "What's wrong, Kame-san?"

   After finishing speaking, his face was a little dazed, "Is it the investigation of your mother's case last time? You're welcome, I just happened to work part-time in that detective agency."

  Looking at the gentle smile on the boy's face under the sunshine in the winter afternoon at the door, the expression on Lumu Liangxiangyuan's face suddenly became a little dazed.

   Guess wrong?

She froze for a moment, then hurriedly followed Higashinohara's words, and said with a burning voice, "Ah, yes, no matter what, thank you Higashino-san and Aragaki Detective Agency, if it weren't for you, my mother would still commit suicide until now. "

   Speaking of this, Shikame Ryoka's face was a little sad.

  At the beginning, she stubbornly believed that her mother could not commit suicide, so she approached the police of the Metropolitan Police Department several times, but they were ignored because there was no evidence.

  If it wasn’t for going to the Aragaki Detective Agency and Aragaki Satoru used his internal relationship to restart the file, the Metropolitan Police Department wouldn’t be able to take it seriously so quickly.

  The girl behind her was inexplicably melancholy.

   Higashinohara smiled, said "see you tomorrow" and left the shoe cabinet.

  The sun in the winter afternoon coated his body with a layer of pale gold. Higashinohara squinted his eyes slightly and looked up, thinking that he should be awarded a small golden talent.

  Even if Ryoka Kame really guessed something with the girl's sense of smell, and said that she would help Higashinohara keep it a secret for the rest of her life, keeping her mouth shut.

  Higashi Nohara will never admit it.

  Some things can be said but not done.

something,

   Can do but not say.
