"No matter how powerful it is, a pawn is just a pawn."
Ryunosuke Akutagawa
As Sakura left immediately, excusing herself with the need to do something, unfortunately for me, Horikita remained by my side, waiting for answers.
Suzune: "Edogawa-kun, it's impossible for you to have known everything they said during the fight... How did you do it?" She looked at me, angry yet curious, probably hoping for some secret plan.
I simply laughed in her face. "No! It was all pure and simple improvisation! Something only a super genius detective like me could do."
Suzune seemed about to retort, but at that moment...
— Edogawa-kun is telling the truth.
Horikita's older brother and Secretary Tachibana emerged from the student council room. Secretary Tachibana locked the door.
Manabu: "When you came here with Suzune, I thought you would reveal some kind of master plan."
Ranpo: "Plans are boring."
Manabu: "Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I wanted to see you put in at least a bit of effort into this case, but I guess I'll have to wait to see it... Looks at Suzune And you, Suzune, I hope you've learned something from this situation." Looks at me one last time before leaving. "I hope you continue like this, Edogawa-kun. Perhaps with you, this school has a chance-"
Ranpo: "Your speech is making me sleepy."
Manabu: Adjusts his glasses and gives me a small smile "I see."

Now there's a second question, why did Sakura leave so quickly? I never saw her talking to anyone, and I'm sure she didn't go to pick up her camera. I have some suspicions, but I can't do anything about it.
I've taken all possible preventive measures, but I can't spend every second making sure Sakura doesn't do something stupid.
Actually, I'm not going to do anything more.
