High school students working undercover(English)

Incident Summary

　So the next day, Karin and Togusa began to sneak into the school wearing the uniform of Shinadaya Gakuin.

"I'm Karin Togusa , and I'm a student at Shinadaya Gakuin. Toeda Kyoichi is my twin brother who transferred to the first class of the second year." 

　The Class 3 of Year 2, to which Rikami Matsuzawa belonged, was surrounded by a restless and strange atmosphere, perhaps due to the fact that Rikami had just passed away. Many students are even more upset when adult police officers move around the school in a big way under such circumstances, so the need for quasi-police officers is strongly felt at times like this.

　After all, many of the kids were more concerned about the murder than the new student. Still, from time to time, a child would ask, "Where did you transfer from, Togusa-san?" 

　Then one of the kids said , "The class is a bit flaky right now," to which Karin asked, "What do you mean, flaky?" 

　Aika Kinomoto then said, "...... You see the flowers on the desk in front of you?　That's the seat of a girl named Matsuzawa-san, who was found dead on campus."

"What?　What is that?"

"I'm sorry to scare you so early in your new school year, but ......, I heard a rumor that he was killed. The teachers haven't given me any details about it, though."

"What?　A murder at school......?　That's scary ....... I wonder if any of the kids saw what happened?"

"Yes, there are. Akane saw a police officer coming yesterday."

"Akane?"

"Yes, come here for a minute."

"Akane, you saw the crime scene yesterday, right?"

　Then Akane Minagawa nodded, "Yeah. It looked like something you often see in dramas, and there was a bloody metal bat on the scene."

　Aika said, "Oh no!　Scary!!!" Aika grabbed Karin's cuff.

"I have a feeling that he's a little suspicious of me. ......"

　At Akane's words, Aika shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know much about that story," to which Hanashi interrupted, "Who?" Karin interrupted.

　Akane then interrupted, "Actually," Akane began.

"Rikami's boyfriend is a guy named Tsuyoshi Osaka, who is in the first class of the second year, and he is a member of the baseball club."

　The fact that the metal bat belonged to a member of the baseball team named Osaka had been identified yesterday, and Karin had heard about it.

　However, the information that Osaka was Rikami's boyfriend was new information that the police had not yet received.

"So you're saying he killed her ......?"

"No, I can't be sure, but ......"

"I didn't know Osaka-kun was dating Matsuzawa-san either until Akane told me, but when you put it that way, it does sound like it under the circumstances."

"But there's a lot going on. Not that it matters at all, but wasn't there an accident the other day when an arrow from the Japanese archery club almost hit a member of the club?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Back then, I also had an incident where someone put a thumbtack in my shoe."

"What is that?　I didn't hear about it."

"I see, Akane is the track and field team's hope, and she always says that the seniors are always nagging at her."

"......It's a lot to take in, isn't it?"

　Karin mumbled sullenly, "Don't get sick of it and change schools so soon after you transfer!" Aika said, and the three of them couldn't help but smile.
