At first, Yushan Kazuto thought that the person who committed the crime must be Kasumigaoka Utaha, but after careful observation for a while, he felt that it was not the case. Yushan Kazuto was not sure whether she did nothing or was deliberately creating confusion.
After thinking about it, Yushan and Ren gently stepped on the stockings under the table. This was important evidence at the scene.
A steel blade was raised high, and with a sizzling sound of breaking fibers, a thin slice was scraped off the porchetta.
Chapter 106: Unfinished Love Letter
Since it is a birthday dinner, cake is naturally indispensable.
After the last dish of corn juice was served, the lights in Vittorio's restaurant were turned on. At some point, a huge tower cake appeared in the corner.
The waiter slowly pushed the cake over. There was a glacier-shaped logo on the cake. Obviously, this cake was not made by Vittorio's Cottage.
Although Vittorio's House also makes desserts, they are specialized in their own areas, and the cakes made by Vittorio's House cannot reach this level.
There were two identical envelopes placed on both sides of the cake. Yushan Kazuto stood up and picked up the envelope on the left first.
"Happy birthday, Kazuto."
The handwriting on the letter was neat and beautiful, and there was no signature, but Yushan Kazuto knew where the letter came from.
Yushan Kazuto smiled and picked up another envelope. The contents of the envelope were exactly the same, except that the handwriting was not very good. Yushan Kazuto felt that he could write more neatly with his feet than Yushan Yayoi.
"What era is it now? You're still writing letters." Yushan Kazuto carefully put the envelope into his pocket and sneered.
As soon as Yushan Kazuto stopped laughing, the sixteen candles on the cake lit up instantly. The flames were bright and transparent, even overshadowing the lighting fixtures in Vittorio's cabin. Yushan Kazuto closed his eyes and began to pray.
Under the reflection of the flames, the shadows of Yushan and the people covered the entire wall. Under the dual effects of the lighting and the shadows, a few lines of dim fonts and a simple QR code appeared on the wall.
"Have fun, everybody."
"This is a secret gift, don't tell anyone!"
Everyone took out their mobile phones, turned off the sound, and scanned the QR code.
An electronic photo album popped up. On the cover, it showed five-year-old Kazuto Hayama standing on the top of Mount Fuji with a football under his feet. There were two cute little words at the bottom of the cover, which looked like a girl's handwriting - a love letter.
The album has a total of sixteen pages, with one page for each year from the time Kazuto Yuyama was born to the time he was fifteen years old.
……
[At the age of one, could you understand Hilbert's original German version of "Foundations of Mathematics"? 】
Shinomiya Kaguya looked at the second photo with a flickering look in her eyes.
In the photo, one-year-old Kazuto Hayama is holding the original German version of "Foundations of Geometry" in one hand and writing and drawing on a piece of scratch paper next to him with the other hand. It can be seen that when he was one year old, Kazuto Hayama had already studied "Foundations of Geometry" quite well.
Even now, Kaguya Shinomiya only has a vague understanding of the Japanese version of "Foundations of Geometry", let alone the original German version.
[Is the gap so big? ]
……
[Did he throw away that dictionary? ]
Yukinoshita Yukino stopped at a photo of Hayama Kazuto when he was six years old. In the photo, Hayama Kazuto was standing by the window of a classroom on the third floor, holding a dictionary in his hand and throwing it out of the window with force.
[It turns out that he was the one who drove away the teddy dog that day? ]
Yukinoshita Yukino fell into memories.
It was a winter afternoon in the first grade.
The heavy snow had just stopped and the wind was cold. No one in the class wanted to go out to play. Only Yukinoshita Yukino was alone in the playground making a snowman.
Yukinoshita Yukino was stacking the tiles so seriously and concentrating that she didn't notice at all that a little teddy dog was approaching.
She kept running, and little Teddy kept chasing her, leaving several circles of footprints in the snow.
Just when Yukinoshita Yukino could not run anymore and fell to the ground, a dictionary flew down and hit Teddy accurately. Teddy ran away in pain, and Yukinoshita Yukino was able to barely catch her breath.
There was no name in the dictionary, and no one in the class admitted it when Yukinoshita Yukino asked. She thought it was a senior student who helped her, but she didn't expect it to be Yushan Kazuto...
For a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the back of Yushan Kazuto and felt a little complicated.
……
[When I was seven years old, I received a love letter from a girl in the lower grade? 】
Kato Megumi looked at Hayama Kazuto and blinked.
In the photo, Yushan Kazuto was holding a pink envelope in his hand. He walked to the shredder in panic and put the love letter into the shredder.
The young love ended before it even began, and Yushan Kazuto didn't even know each other's name.
……
Eriri and Touma Sanae were huddled together, looking unhappy.
The photo of him at the age of nine is different from the previous ones. In this photo, Kazuto Yuyama only has his back.
This back view is inconspicuous. After all, Yushan Kazuto is not a killer with a back view. But at the same time, this back view particularly attracts the attention of Eriri and Touma Sanae.
"I think we probably won't meet again."
This nightmare that had been silent for many years echoed in Eriri's mind again, causing her body to tremble slightly. Next to her, Touma Sanae lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
[This time, I won't let you slip away. ]
Ying Lili said secretly in her heart.
The figure of Toumori Sanae suddenly passed by Eriri, interrupting her thoughts.
The little person hugged Yushan Heren from behind, or rather, hung on Yushan Heren.
With such a short wingspan, Yushan Kazuto didn't need to look back to know it was Sanae Toumori: "Sanae, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it!"
Yushan Heren turned his hand and tried to take her hand away, but another
The hot body also hugged Yushan Kazuto.
"Kazuto, give me a hug, it's okay." Kato Megumi's voice was gentle and pleasant.
Yushan Heren blushed a little, and said nothing more. He continued to close his eyes and waited for the candle to burn out.
Sora Ginko pouted and walked towards Hayama Kazuto. Beside her, Takanashi Rikka and Fujiwara Chika passed by.
"messenger!"
"Kazuto-nii-nii!"
Two more warm bodies were hanging on him. Yushan Heren felt a little strange. He actually felt secretly happy and simply didn't bother to care anymore.
Seeing this, Kong Yinzi took a few quick steps and finally occupied half of the empty seat.
Eriri then realized that she was falling behind and rushed forward. Yukinoshita Yukino followed behind her with a determined expression.
With more and more pendants on his body, Yushanhe felt a little uncomfortable being squeezed, but he didn't want to care about it. For some reason, he felt a little refreshed.
The rest of the people also rushed up, and Yushan Heren was surrounded by a crowd of people.
In the end, even Kaguya Shinomiya let go of her reserve and gently hugged her from the outside.
The candle gradually burned out, and Yushan Kazuto slowly opened his eyes and looked at the girls beside him. Suddenly, he had the urge to say, "You are all my wings," with a smile on his lips.
With a "click", Tohka Takanashi held a SLR camera and captured this wonderful scene.
Chapter 107: The Real Murderer?
"Xue-no-chan, the dinner will be over soon, why don't you give the gift to Kazuto-chan?"
After dinner and enjoying the cake, it was almost time for the party to end.
Yushan Kazuto looked at the pile of gifts on the chair next to him and scratched his head. It would be a big project to carry all these things back home.
Under the table, Yushan and Ren were still stepping on the sock. What was a little strange was that when they were hugging before, Yushan and Ren took a quick look and didn't see that anyone was missing anything on their feet.
After the dinner, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko stood up to express their gratitude and left first. Eriri and Toumori Sanae were also taken back by their families.
Those who had not left yet sat at the door, enjoying the rare summer breeze.
[Why is there no one missing a sock? ] Yushan Kazuto was very confused.
"Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, has the car to pick you up not arrived yet?" asked Yushan Kazuto, looking at the two people standing aside.
"Is Brother Kazuto going to chase us away?" Fujiwara Chika asked with her head tilted.
Kazuto's brother... To be honest, every time I hear Fujiwara Chika call him this, Kazuto Hayama gets goosebumps.
The relationship between the Hayama family and the Fujiwara family was definitely not friendly, and they could even be considered political enemies. Because of the sudden emergence of Hayama Yayoi six years ago, the time for Fujiwara Chika's uncle to enter the cabinet was delayed by one term, and he only became a provincial minister last year.
In comparison, Kaguya Shinomiya's attitude was much more normal. Although not very friendly, she always maintained etiquette and maintained the decency of both parties.
"The car is parked at 4-chome and will be there soon." Kaguya Shinomiya's voice was cold.
Looking at the Rolls-Royce coming in the distance, Yushan Kazuto waved to them: "Bon voyage."
"Next, what should we do with these two drunkards?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka and Kirisu Mafuyu were drunk and unconscious. If there wasn't a chair prepared for them at the door, Yushan Kazuto suspected that they would have slept directly on the street.
"If it's Jingjing, I can take her back to Chiba!" Yukinoshita Haruno showed the car keys, which she had just taken from Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"Then you can deal with the other one as well." Hayama Kazuto pointed at Kirisu Madoka.
"I've sent you Mr. Kirisu's address via Line!" Yukinoshita Haruno chuckled. Obviously, she didn't plan to take Kirisu Manfuyu with her.
[How is it possible that he lives just above me? ]
Looking at the address on his phone, Haneyama Kazuto was surprised. Kirisu Mafuyu actually lived on the 17th floor of the apartment!
"Xue-no-chan, we're going back to Chiba soon, why don't you give the presents away?"
Walking to the car, Yukinoshita Haruno murmured.
"I know, sister." Yukinoshita Yukino was holding a small bag, her hands trembling slightly, and she was unusually nervous.
"It's getting late. If you don't go back, mother will call you." Yukinoshita Haruno reminded.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked back at Yukinoshita Haruno, turned around, and walked to the side of Yuyama Kazuto: "Yuyama-san, can you come with me for a moment?"
【Hayama-san? 】
Hearing this address, Yushan Kazuto was a little surprised. The last time he heard Yukinoshita Yukino call him like this was when he was in the third grade of elementary school.
Although he felt a little strange, Yushan and others still followed him.
"Is there something wrong? Yukinoshita." Having already walked some distance away from the restaurant, Yushan Kazuto stopped.
Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head, the breeze blowing her hair, and her red hairband was very conspicuous under the street light.
"Nothing, I just want to say thank you." Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes curved up and she smiled sweetly.
"Having a meal and saying thank you for the hospitality should be enough." Yushan Heren felt a little puzzled. He was called to a corner just to say thank you.
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head and handed the small package in her hand to Yushan Kazuto without explanation: "This is... cat claw biscuits, please accept it."
Yushan Heren took it. The cookie was very small and lifelike. The pads were made of raisins and were soft. Each cat paw was so cute that it was almost criminal. "You spent a long time in the activity room alone the day before yesterday just to make this?"
"Yes." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.
"That's thoughtful." Yushan Heren put away the cookies, "Anything else?"
"This week, you have to take Xiaoxue home." Yukinoshita Yukino's voice suddenly became a little low.
“Can I come and see it again later?”
"Once a week is still acceptable. If it's too frequent, it's unbearable."
……
"Ms. Kotori, why haven't you gone home yet?"
Returning to the door of Vittorio's cabin, Yushan Kazuto saw the Kotori sisters standing at the door.
"Ms. Kirisu seems drunk. Let's stay and see if there is anything we can help with." said Touka Takanashi.
"Messenger, no matter what you need, the Evil King's True Eyes will satisfy you!" Rikka Takanashi came out from behind Touka and shouted.
"It's nothing serious, so don't bother me."
"If Mr. Yushan is having a headache about how to send someone home, I think I can help."
