Chapter 211 The Plan is Underway
Two teachers, after their students discovered they had accepted bribes to get other children admitted to schools through connections, ultimately chose to kill each other to silence them when their students, who respected them greatly, questioned them about the truth.
This seemingly outrageous thing actually happened.
Ultimately, despite some doubts, the little girl's death was ruled a suicide due to insufficient evidence.
Akiko Yonehara broke down after seeing the newspaper article criticizing a teacher at Beihu Elementary School for failing to detect a child's psychological problems in time, which led to the teacher's suicide at the school.
Others may just be feeling a little down for a while, but these unfounded reports might prevent them from getting promoted in the near future. But life goes on.
We can't just follow a student to the afterlife because of their death and a series of fabricated reports.
But Akiko Yonehara was different. She was not only a relatively responsible teacher, but the day before the deceased student had come to see her and said that she had discovered that Sugiyama and a teacher she respected were taking money to give people admission through connections.
She also said she wanted to find that respected teacher and ask him for clarification.
Akiko Yonehara didn't take it seriously. Using back channels is actually quite common, and those who can truly adhere to principles and stick to their bottom line are actually in the minority.
Although she found this behavior despicable, she couldn't change it; even if Sugiyama-sensei was gone, there would be other teachers—
She didn't think the student named Minako was in any danger. At most, she would be fooled, and her backdoor dealings wouldn't be affected at all. Let things be as they are.
Akiko Yonehara also has her own classes and students to manage, and sixth-grade students require even more effort than at other times.
But to everyone's surprise, Minako didn't come to class the next day. Instead, they heard the news of her death; she had hanged herself in the ballet club room.
How could it be suicide? And that suicide note—it was clearly forged by Sugiyama and another teacher she respected, Minako—
Not long ago, Minako was chatting with her homeroom teacher about what she wanted to do after graduating from elementary school, such as pestering her busy parents to go on a trip, having a party with her best friends, and celebrating a classmate's birthday. How could such an optimistic and positive child commit suicide because of the pressure of exams?
What's more, it was at such a coincidental time.
She was convinced that Minako had been murdered by the two people she was going to confront. How desperate must she have felt to die at the hands of her trusted teacher?
Unfortunately, she only knew that one of them was Sugiyama-sensei, but not who the other was. The purpose of planning this ski trip was largely to use Sugiyama's death to force the other person out.
Akiko Yonehara opened the lipstick, wrote the first character of Minako's name on her hand, covered the head of Sugiyama-sensei who was already frozen into a "zombie" with a wig, and put on similar clothes. As long as the lights are turned off, no one would recognize her.
Next, all she needs is an innocent person to come and be attacked by her, and she can put herself in the position of the attacked person.
She had already chosen her candidates: Xiaolan, Yuanzi, or that unfamiliar girl. The little boy was also a possibility, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the other three boys.
Akiko Yonehara silently apologized to herself. She shouldn't have dragged innocent people into this, including two of her former students. She had betrayed their trust.
"So, without realizing it, I've become almost the same as this guy who doesn't deserve to be a teacher—"
Although she realized this, Akiko Yonehara did not intend to abandon the plan, otherwise Minako's death...
What has her revenge turned into?
Next, all we need to do is make a little noise.
No one would kick the door down immediately; they would definitely call out first to ask if the person was the target. Then, they would decide whether to speak or not based on whether the person was the target.
After tidying up his room, Subaru Okiya took his laptop and planned to go downstairs to work for a while. He didn't want to work during his trip, but he also didn't want to be exhausted when he got back.
As he passed a room, Subaru Okiya keenly sensed something strange—a series of rhythmic knocking sounds.
In an instant, all sorts of terrifying speculations surfaced in Subaru Okiya's mind. He then took the initiative and ran away silently in a flash.
If something really happened, he would definitely call for help. But if this is some kind of conspiracy or trick set up by the murderer, he, as the first to discover it, would definitely be the prime suspect!
If he hadn't impulsively opened that door, he could have hidden behind the detective and enjoyed a fantastic detective show. It's not a choice at all!
Akiko Yonehara held her breath and, upon hearing footsteps outside, rammed her head against the wall, making herself dizzy. However, to her surprise, the people outside didn't even ask her a question.
Unfortunately, the sound of her skull hitting the wall completely deprived her of hearing. She didn't know if the people outside had hearing problems and were listening intently, or if they had simply walked away without stopping.
Akiko Yonehara stopped after more than a minute of being hit, clutching her head.
At the same time, his murderous intent toward the teacher whose name he did not yet know intensified.
Just wait, I'll make you taste the pain Minako felt when she died. With Sugiyama by your side, you won't be lonely on your way to the underworld.
"So, what did the doctor say?"
Seeing that Conan had hung up the phone, Akutagawa asked a question.
"The professor said that three years ago, a girl from Beika Elementary School was found hanged in the ballet club classroom. Her teacher was heavily criticized for this, but the teacher's name is unknown. The deceased was named Minako."
Just then, the two suddenly heard Sonoko scream. At that moment, they didn't care whether others would notice anything.
Sometimes the human body is just too fragile. Akutagawa Hiko was also worried that Sonoko, who, like Ran and Ayumi, had a tendency to be attacked and taken hostage, might die because of someone's possible mistake.
Akutagawa Hiko and Conan used the Body Flicker Technique together. Conan didn't notice someone's unintentional glance, and Akutagawa Hiko noticed but didn't care, since he would contact him in another identity soon anyway.
Akiko Yonehara, who was writing on Sonoko's hand, felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She shoved the corpse under the bed and quickly lay down, pretending that she had also been attacked by an unknown assailant.
Fortunately, she changed her plans and used the rope to tighten around her own neck for a while. She didn't even have time to put the rope around Suzuki Sonoko's neck before someone kicked the door.
