page 17 examining the pictures

Everyone soon came rushed in"...kaede!are those the developed photos!?"keebo asked"the culprit should be in those photos,right?"tsumugi asked"nee-heehee...how exciting,I wanna see the dumb look on the culprit's face"kokichi said"alright! let's take a look!"kaito said"let's look at the photos taken by the camera near the front entrance first"I said then kaede took the first folder saying "front entrance" to see that it had a total of four pictures,we looked at the first one was me running into the library"that's right Luca was the first one to enter the library"kaede said then the next picture of shuichi,kaede,kaito,and tenko run in"this is...whan we arrived at the library so it took a picture then..."kaede said"yeah,this was right before we found rantaro's body"kaito said"that's a pretty bad picture of me...but don't focus on it too much,okay?"tenko said"rest assured,we do not care"kiyo said"alright, let's go to the next one"kaede said"um...this is..."kaede said"it's a picture of us running into the library after we heard tenko scream,that doesn't help us at all hurry up and show us the next picture"maki said"y-yeah ok"kaede said"this is everyone else who came to the library after the body discovery announcement"mama said"everyone pictured here, myself included nwas in our way to the basement..."ryoma said"so they got there a bit late"I said"hey!these are all pictures of when we found the body!"kaito said"kaede there's one more photo in the file"I said"there is?"kaede said as she put her hand in the file and pulled out another photo"huh?shuichi?"kaede said"ah,sorry...it looks like I tripped one of the sensors when I was removing the cameras"shuichi said"kh!what are you saying!?"miu said"umm...this picture doesn't seem to have any clues that will help us either..."tusmugi said'the camera was pointed at the front entrance and snapped five pictures but nor rantaro or the culprit were in the pictures'i thought"neither rantaro nor anyone else who could be the culprit are in the photos..."keebo said"did they both enter through the back door then?"ryoma said"let's examine the photos taken by the camera near the rear entrance,then"I said"hm...only two photos were taken by the camera pointed at the rear entrance um, let's see the first picture..."kaede said as she took out the first photo to see"rantaro!"kaede said"so rantaro went in through the rear entrance perhaps so no one would see him..."shuichi said"I thought it might be possible that he was moved to the library after being murdered...but that does not appear to be the case"keebo said"so that means he was killed in the library after going there of his own will"I muttered"a-anyway,let's move on to the next one!maybe it'll show the Mastermind!"kaede said show us the next photo"huh!?"kaede said"ah...sorry...me again,this is from when I was removing the camera..."shuichi said sheeply"nyeeeh...what an attention hog!"himiko said"he had no choice...to remove the cameras""he had to be close to the sensors"I finished Mama's sentence'that's all the photos for the rear entrance'i thought"huh? culprit not in rear entrance photo either?"gonta said"wh-what does this mean? they're not in either the front or rear entrance pictures..."tenko said"it pretty odd that there isn't a photo of the master mind entertaining"I muttered"let's look at the pictures from the hidden door camera,that might tell us something..."shuichi said"o-oh,yeah...that camera should've captured the moment the Mastermind opened the door"kaede said and took out the photos to see rantaro"oh!rantaro!?"kaede said"but...if rantaro was the one who moved the bookcase,then..."shuichi said"he must've known about the hidden door"I said"could the culprit have gone into the hidden door?"ryoma said"yeah,that is a possibility"keebo said"for now,let us see the next picture,there is one remaining, isn't there?"kiyo said"y-yeah,here it is"kaede said pulling out the last one"what!?"kaede"huh?what's rantaro doing?"kaito asked"it looks like he's reaching for the camera maybe he was trying to remove it"ryoma said"ah,I did notice something while I was removing the camera...the security sensor for this camera was switched off"shuichi said"in that case,this photo was likely taken just before the sensor was turned off"kiyo said"but that would mean that rantaro noticed it,he saw our hidden camera"I said"moving the bookcase triggers the sensor,which in turn activates the camera,right?the bookcase appears to have already been moved,so why did the sensor activate...?"keebo asked"who cares!?what happened to the culprit!?how come they're not in any of the photos!?"tenko asked"this last photo must have been taken shorlty before rantaro was killed"I said"if so,then the culprit should be pictured right behind him in this photo"kiyo said"then why is the culprit nowhere to be seen?"kaede said"that's all the photos..."I muttered"so we gained no new clues...and we still don't know who the culprit is"big sis said"hah-haha!what a fuckin' waste!"miu said"did she really develop all the photos?maybe she got rid of the ones that showed the culprit?"tenko said then monophonie appeared and said that she developed all the photos and disappeared"these are seriously all the pictures?you gotta be kidding me!the culprit's not in any of em!if the culprit didn't go to the library then how'd they kill rantaro!?"kaito said"nyeeeh...so this must be what they call a perfect crime"himiko said"aw maaan, I've only been slacking off cuz I thought those photos would reveal the culprit!"kokichi said"you shouldn've been helping us investigate!"tenko said"rantaro had his monopad the whole time, didn't he?I wonder if there was anything in it"I thought but only to accidentally say it out loud"his student handbook did not contain much in the way of pertinent information..."mama said"I doubt it has anything to do with the case he simply had his monopad with him"kiyo said"I inspected his monopad,but I didn't find anything suspicious about it"shuichi said"kaede are you okay?"I asked"why...?why aren't they in the pictures?if the Mastermind had these photos,it would have solved everything...so...why the hell--!?"kaede said"kaede!"I cut her off then the monitor went on to show monokuma"alright!it's time for what you've all been waiting for--thr class trial! please assemble in front of the shrine of judgement in the countyard remember that red door surrounded by plants? it's just on the other side!from,there, you'll be escorted to a delightful class trial!puhuhu!see you all there!"he said"t-time already...!?"gonta said"it seem that we have no choice but to continue this discussion at the class trial"I said"*sigh*I don't want to go..."tusmugi said"me neither...what a pain..."himiko said"hah-haha!what,ya scared!?an NPC like you has nothin' to be scared of!"miu said"i-it'll be fine...I just...feel like my back is up against the wall,we just need to expose the Mastermind in this class trial!and then everything, including this killing game...will come to a end"kaede said"yes, that's right"keebo said"let's find this Mastermind!and if it's a man, let's beat him to death!"tenko said"isn't beating them to death going a bit far?"ryoma said after that everyone did what monokuma said and went to the countyard,but while I was walking I had a feeling that it will be hard at the end
