The Buddhist way of life of Ke Xue Le Zi

"Bud or? Bud or!"

The silver-gray-haired boy was holding his chin in a daze, and was brought back to his senses by the girl's shout. He looked up at Suzuki Sonoko with a serious expression, and let out an "ah" a little late.

"What are you daydreaming about? Are you listening to me?" The girl put her hands on her hips and looked helplessly at Xinghai Yahu who was obviously not listening.

"Ah, you mean that charity gala?" Xing Hai Ya pulled out 079 who had been diving, and he looked calm as if he was not the one who was in a daze just now.

"Yes, Xiaolan is going too, you are the only one missing." Suzuki Sonoko said and sat back in her chair in the cafe.

This coffee shop is the newly opened Poro downstairs from Mao Lilan's house. The owner was very kind and gave them a friendly price, so in order to support the shop, the three of them made an appointment here.

While waiting for Mao Lilan to come, Suzuki Sonoko urged Xing Haimei to go to the party with them.

"Xiao Lan is going too?" Xing Hai Ya twirled the black fountain pen in her hand. Her long and beautiful fingers had distinct joints and her movements were smooth and natural.

"Stop turning around and do your homework." Suzuki Sonoko is not a hand control person. She only cares about whether Hoshimi Mei or the paper at hand has been finished.

Xinghai Ya was silent for a moment and filled in the answers in the blanks of the multiple-choice questions.

In fact, he had almost forgotten these things, and only slowly recalled the knowledge after going back to school in the past few days.

But it was still a little uncertain whether he could take the high school entrance exam directly. In order to allow this person to return to the main force as soon as possible, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran actively responded to Morobushi Kagemitsu's call.

A few days ago, Suzuki Sonoko even went to find the latest exam prediction papers and piled them all up for Xinghai Mei to do.

Xing Hai Ya might think that the two girls kept the books until now just waiting for this day.

As they were chatting, the wind chimes at the door of the cafe rang, and a young woman in a business suit walked in. Enomoto Azusa greeted her with a smile.

"Xinghai-san?"

Suzuki Sonoko was pointing at the multiple-choice questions that Xing Haimei had just written, questioning whether he wrote them randomly because he wrote them so quickly. She exaggeratedly talked about how hard she had worked to get into Didi Dan High School.

Before he could finish his words, he saw the woman who had just entered walk up to Xinghai Yahu and greet her in surprise.

Xing Hai Ya recalled for a while, and 079 couldn't stand the female teacher standing next to him not getting a response, so he secretly reminded her.

"Taniguchi-sensei."

The young man nodded slightly, looking somewhat obedient. His cold expression was gone, and there was even a hint of smile between his eyebrows.

Taniguchi Chieko was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she waved her hand and said in surprise: "So you remember me, I saw that you didn't pay much attention to people at school, and I thought you didn't know..."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Chieko Taniguchi's expression, said "No way" in her heart, then stepped forward and interrupted the other person.

"Meihe, you are ignoring me again, right? Didn't you say that you should get along well with your classmates at school?" Suzuki Sonoko said as she knocked the boy on the head. Then she turned around and said politely, "Teacher, please take care of Meihe. He is just like that. He doesn't like to talk to others."

Chieko Taniguchi's expression darkened the moment she saw Suzuki Sonoko, but she quickly hid the abnormality when the girl turned towards her.

But when she spoke, she did not agree with Suzuki Sonoko's words, but said: "I think Xinghai is good like this, doesn't he have a unique personality?"

Suzuki Sonoko remained silent and glanced at the rather innocent Mei Hoshimi without showing any expression.

After Chieko Taniguchi finally left, the girl said sternly, "Hoshimi Mei, stay away from that teacher Taniguchi from now on! She's definitely interested in you!"

It took Meiho Hoshimiya a few seconds before he realized who the teacher Taniguchi that Suzuki Sonoko was referring to was. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Mouri Ran who had just come in, and quickly gave her a wink.

Although Mao Lilan had not yet reacted to what was happening, she received the hint from the examinee and cooperated very well to join the conversation.

"What is Mr. Taniguchi? Is he Mei's new teacher?"

"With my discerning eyes, I can tell at a glance that the young teacher is definitely attracted to Mei." Suzuki Sonoko took a sip of the orange juice in the cup and said with certainty.

"I don't remember her. She was probably a trainee teacher teaching Chinese." Xing Hai Mei looked at the memo that 079 had posted on the system panel and frowned.

[Why do you always remember useless things?]

[You still call this useless? If it weren't for my memo, you wouldn't even be able to call out the teacher's name, okay?! ] 079 protested, it felt that every word of its memo was the essence, but Xinghaiyin was blind and couldn't see the goodness of these memos.

"Intern teacher? That's no wonder, but didn't you join the graduation sprint class? Why are you still taught by an intern?" Suzuki Sonoko frowned. She took out Xinghai Mei's brand new Chinese textbook, which didn't have a single note written on it, and veins appeared on her forehead.

"Forget it, forget it. Meihu's Chinese grades have always been very good, and it's good for her to focus on other courses now." Mao Lilan acted as a peacemaker and smiled to comfort her friend who was about to lose her temper.

Xing Haiya was writing the test paper with a guilty look on her face and didn't respond to the conversation, without showing any emotion.

He was offline during class, so how could he remember whether he had taken notes? Not to mention Chinese, there were no notes in the textbooks for other courses either.

"Anyway, remember to stay away from her, you hear me." Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips, "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Ah."

The boy held the pen and wrote the answers on the test paper. Although his mind was not on it at all, his tone was not perfunctory in his response.

But no one expected that Suzuki Sonoko's premonition would come true so quickly the next day.

"What time did you meet the deceased yesterday afternoon?" Sato Miwako asked the boy in school uniform in front of her with a notebook in her hand. There was no official tone of interrogating a criminal in her tone, but her expression was full of seriousness.

"Did you notice anything strange during that time?"

Xing Hai Ya was silent for a moment and shook her head.

He was suddenly called out of the classroom this morning. A familiar-looking police officer explained the reason to him. Only then did he learn that teacher Chieko Taniguchi was hacked to death at home last night.

And the teacher wrote his name on the diary that fell in a pool of blood.

"It's just a routine inquiry, don't worry." Sato Miwako comforted him, but didn't hold out much hope.

Before she took the statement to Hoshimi Mei, Megure Juzo told her about the child's "feat of record-keeping" a few years ago. Obviously, he didn't expect to get any useful information from him.

After 079 knew that the teacher had died, he cried so much in Xinghai Yahu's mind that he turned off the mute function.

"About 4:30." The boy lowered his eyes and thought, "Strange thing... Does it count as her carrying a box cutter?"
