One.

"Sculpture......"?

Elle slipped her little neck in wonder.

Gaius then raised his jaw and pointed to the faculty building in front.

"El, Dr. Bolognese over there is a fine art teacher."

"... I see, that's what you mean"

"Oh, and the day after the incident, when the rooftop cleaner teacher peered in by the rooftop entrance, he discovered that there was something slick and black on the wall. And I told Dr. Bolognese about it. The sculpture paint was stuck on the wall. That's why Dr. Boronez rushed to the roof and tried to wash away the blood creeping against the wall…"

"Uh-huh, I see. So you think that man is the killer of this case?

"Yes, because I can't think of anything else. First of all, I'm pretty sure Dr. Boronez is the one responsible for Mr. Degus's murder."

"Hmm. And that doesn't mean you're a Raydom spy, does it?

"Yeah. That's likely, isn't it?... What do you think of Elle?

"Well. Don't you have to ask yourself all this?

"... right"

When they faced each other, they nodded with determination.

Two.

"Dr. Bolonez, may I have a word with you?

Gaius walked away from school for a while, and spoke quietly as the bolognese going forward entered the narrowed path.

Boronez wore a suit that looked sartorial and turned around while holding a large bag with paintings and collections in his hands.

"... what, you? Gaius Schneider"

"Yes. Sorry to call you out of the blue"

"Is there something you want to talk about? Then there's a little park right there. There's a bench too, so why don't we talk there?

Boronez, blocked by both hands, raised his chin and pointed to the tiny park he could see at the end of the road.

"Yes, sorry to take your time"

"No, I don't mind."

Gaius took him with Boronez to the park and laid down on a longer bench where the three could sit loosely.

"... so, what are you talking about?

Boronez sat down on the bench and asked Gaius after a glimpse of the park.

Then, just then, Elle snuggled under the bench with a grumpy face and fell asleep round her body.

Gaius made a desperate and serious face, although he almost laughed at Elle's clear face.

"... Yes. I just wanted to ask you something..."

"... yes, what is it?

So Gaius set aside for a minute, never asking Bolognese of his will.

"... it was you, Dr. Boronez, who murdered Mr. Degus, wasn't it?
