Turning back time, I shifted my gaze from the suburban villa at this moment to yesterday morning, when I was still at Nanyang University——

"Huh? Strange? Why is there one less portion..."

In the activity room at Nanyang University, Shirozuka Hisui rummaged through the cabinets here and sorted out all the information he could find. After careful searching, he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he came to such a conclusion.

In this regard, after Gao Yuan also rummaged through the information here, he couldn't help but agree with the result like Chengzuka Jade——

These data are from the past activities of the school clubs in this activity room. Since more than 20 years ago, every year when the clubs held activities in this activity room, the club activity table of that year will be recorded. The accounts are preserved, which is the source of these data.

Whether it was the previous club, or the club gradually lost popularity and reached the point where no one joined, making it unsustainable. After the club was finally disbanded, and the idle activity rooms were occupied by other clubs, those clubs All the activity ledger information over the years can also be found in this pile, among the information rummaged through in this activity room.

Therefore, it stands to reason that as long as the activity room had a club or hobbyist association that held activities there in that year, there should be an activity ledger from that year preserved.

But now, among this pile of information, there is only one missing ledger information from seventeen years ago!

That club was established twenty years ago, and it only happened a few years ago until the club was disbanded. Therefore, seventeen years ago, that club should still be persisting in its activities, so now such a book is suddenly missing. The information seems very abnormal...

However, after discovering this clue, Gao Yuan understood why the wise and wise police officer said, "On the surface, the clues that should have been artificially destroyed"——

Indeed, it is too obvious that one piece of information is missing.

Moreover, Shirozuka Hisui had already confirmed in advance that the comic "The Girl Only Belongs to Me" that he came here to look for was the earliest work exhibited by this comic club at a campus festival more than ten years ago.

Now, by looking through the club's ledger data from other years, it has been confirmed that the works exhibited by the comic club at the campus festival in those years were not samples of "The Girl Only Belongs to Me" .

Therefore, the most likely situation at the moment is only——

"Someone took a step ahead of us and took the club information about that year in advance..."

After careful analysis, Chengzuka Jade came to the following conclusion:

"But who could it be? Moreover, such a cover-up is completely meaningless..."

Slightly confused, Chengzhong Jade frowned slightly.

"yes."

Regarding Chengzuka Jade's judgment, Gao Yuan nodded in agreement and echoed:

"Since the data from the previous and following years are still there, it is very simple to find out who were members of that society in the missing year. As long as you can find the people, you can find a way to ask the relevant questions. The comic matter is not difficult at all... It is completely meaningless to simply take away that piece of information..."

"Or is it the guy just now..."

As Shirozuka Hisui said this, his thoughts began to recall Akechi Kansu who just left Nanyang University. He would come here, and his purpose is probably the same as his own, so...

But after just thinking for a while, Shirozuka Jade shook his head and rejected this idea——

No, he didn't have anything with him at the time. It was impossible for such a piece of information to be taken out just like that...

Looking at the thick information in front of him, Shirozuka Hisui thought this way.

——"Hey! Mr. Gao Yuan, do you think... could it be Miss Wakura just now?"

Shirozuka Hisui's thinking changed quickly, and he immediately thought of the suspicious thing he had just done with Kuramisa -

"What?"

Gao Yuan felt a little whimsical about such a connection——

After all, the relevant clues of the comic seventeen years ago are related to the events of the "Gus Group", and Misa Wakura, neither she nor her father and Yonghai Kura have anything to do with these things. It doesn't matter.

After all, no matter what, the incident twenty years ago had nothing to do with He Cang Yonghai, and no one from the He Cang family had anything to do with Nanyang University seventeen years ago.

"So... Mr. Mingzhi, you... are actually here..."

Suddenly, Shirozuka Jade suddenly said this, repeating what he and Kura Misa said just now when they met Gao Yuan——

"When she saw her just now, her first reaction was to say something very panicked. At that time, as the sister of a student who had graduated from this school, I planned to come and retrieve the things left in the activity room. The reason for coming...

"But combined with her words and the extreme surprise she expressed just now that you would appear here, it seems...she is worried that the person who wants to come to look for the information placed in this activity room is actually you, Mr. Gao Yuan! "

"kindness?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan looked slightly confused and couldn't help but say:

"Is that so? But there is no reason for her to be involved in this kind of thing..."

"But I just read this message from her face!"

Seeing Gao Yuan's disbelief, Chengzhong Jade seemed to be a little unreasonable and said this coquettishly.

Then, I saw her bright emerald green eyes, which were really like emeralds, wandering in their sockets for a few times. She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say:

"Then, how about this! I'll go find Miss Wakura and try to figure out what she wants to hide. And Mr. Gao Yuan, you should first find a way to investigate the members of this comic club seventeen years ago. Someone!"

"Huh? Are you alone?"

Although I intuitively felt that Misa Wakura should not be involved in these matters, when I remembered that I had met her in a coffee shop near Nanyang University and asked her some things about Nakagawa Daizang and Furukawa Yuki, She did seem to be hiding something. Gao Yuan still did not deny Shirozuka Jade's suggestion, but asked slightly worriedly.

"Of course!"

Chengzuka Jade couldn't help but nodded and explained:

"Since she is wary of Mr. Gao Yuan, if you are also present, I guess I won't be able to relax her guard and find a way to get some information!"

Hearing this, although Shirozuka Hisui didn't say it clearly, Gao Yuan already understood what method she wanted to use to get the news from Wakura Misa——

It's the kind of "illusion" that's similar to hypnosis, right?

"There won't be any problem, right?"

Gao Yuan still asked slightly worriedly.

"Of course no problem!"

Shirozuka Jade smiled and replied:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, aren't you the best example?"

It could be seen that Shirozuka Jade seemed to be sarcastic about himself, and Gao Yuan felt a little helpless. Recalling what Shirozuka Jade did to him that night, he held his forehead in embarrassment and sighed:

"Then...don't go too far."

"good!"

Hearing that Gao Yuan agreed with her idea, Shirozuka Jade immediately clapped her hands happily, turned around and walked towards the activity room——

"Since Mr. Gao Yuan has agreed, if the guy wearing glasses finds out later, I will say that Mr. Gao Yuan asked me to do it!"

After saying that, without waiting for Gao Yuan to react, Chengzhong Jade disappeared at the door.

In this regard, Gao Yuan just looked helpless, looking at this sometimes naive, sometimes funny, unpredictable junior high school girl——

This guy is really troublesome...

However, if I can really ask for some information, it would not be a bad thing for me...

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan sorted out most of the information he found and put it back to its original place. Then he picked up two data ledgers from eighteen years ago and sixteen years ago, and began to compare some of the contents... …

…

"Speaking of which, this guy... doesn't plan to return the phone to me, does he..."

Feeling a little helpless, after walking out of the activity room, Gao Yuan basically locked some clues, and then realized that his mobile phone had not been returned from Shirozuka Jade. In this case, he wanted to find a way to find that person now. If you are a member of a previous club, it will be a little more troublesome.

But fortunately, through some information obtained from the Academic Affairs Office, Gao Yuan suddenly discovered that if he wanted to investigate some information about the comic and its author seventeen years ago, he actually had another simpler channel - —

You can ask Professor Hirota Masaki directly!

Based on the comparison of data from the two years before and after, it turns out that most of the members of that club that year were Hirota Masaki students!

After finding this out, Gao Yuanda couldn't help but be surprised——

I didn't expect that I would have such an unexpected harvest after rescuing Professor Hirota Masaki last night! This is really a surprise.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Professor Hirota Masaki did not come to school in the morning.

So, thinking about the Jade at the Castle Tomb, there might not be any results for a while, so I would simply go to his house to find Professor Hirota Masaki. Anyway, his house is not too far away from here, so by car It's a round trip, and as long as you don't delay too long, you'll be back in about an hour.

Thinking like this, he seemed to want to cause some trouble to Shirozuka Jade. Gao Yuan did not explain anything to Shirozuka Jade. He came outside the campus, where he parked his car, and drove towards Masaki Hirota last night. Go to your residence.

Still parked the car in the parking lot that was some distance away from Hirota Masaki's house last night, put on a black windbreaker and hat, slightly modified his face, and used last night's makeup, Gao Yuan walked to Hirota Masaki's house. At the door of the house, and then pressed the doorbell——

Fortunately, Hirota Masaki is at home.

After explaining his purpose, Gao Yuan was invited into the study room by Mrs. Hirota who came to open the door. After Gao Yuan was asked to wait for a while, Mrs. Hirota called Professor Hirota Masaki over.

Soon, Professor Hirota Masaki came to the study room and met Gao Yuan who wanted to come over and ask for some information about the members of the Nanyang University Comics Club seventeen years ago——

However, since Hirota Masaki immediately recognized Gao Yuan as the person who saved him last night, Hirota Masaki was not worried about Gao Yuan's identity at all. After briefly asking about Gao Yuan's identity, he

He began to explain some news to Gao Yuan that he still remembers.

In this regard, seeing that Masaki Hirota did not ask him about his purpose in detail, Gao Yuan did not tell the truth. He casually used the name "Masayoshi Hanada" and asked Masaki Hirota for advice.

Although a long time has passed, the old professor still has fresh memories of the comic that his student drew and was published seventeen years ago——

After all, the comic club has been established for so many years, and among its members, there is only one chance that a publisher will take notice of their work and get the opportunity to publish it when they were students.

Therefore, facing the inquiry of Gao Yuan, the savior, he seemed a little emotional. Hirota Masaki told Gao Yuan a lot about what he remembered -

For example, Professor Hirota Masaki clearly remembers that the student's name was "Akechi Mugen", which was an easy name to remember.

Moreover, due to my excellent grades, I had the opportunity to study in the United States for a year as an exchange student.
