He became a god in Japan starting with the bear disaster.

Chapter 28 What kind of evidence is this?

Walking down the corridor, everyone was in a hurry, their expressions uneasy, and the whole school was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

The only ones who seemed relatively relaxed were Lin Xiuyi and Isshiki Jin, who were taking a leisurely stroll. However, although they were taking a walk, neither of them mentioned that they were heading towards the office where the incident had occurred.

The police hastily completed their investigation and evidence collection, then lifted the cordon and returned the scene to the school. However, none of the first-year teachers wanted to work in an office where someone had just died, and they gathered in the area in front of the door.

Lin Xiuyi spotted Yokota Daichi standing in the crowd, talking loudly with the teachers. The guy was excitedly waving a piece of paper and seemed unable to leave for the time being, so he turned around and went upstairs.

"What I'm about to do might be a little undisciplined. Would you like to wait for me in the study room?"

Lin Xiuyi turned to Yise Jin and said.

"What are you saying, Shuichi? I thought we were sworn brothers who would live and die together."

Isshiki Kin feigned generosity, like a tragic hero on stage who was ready to die for his cause, but then his imposing manner dissipated, and he laughed, "Of course I'll go with you."

"Then you'd better be prepared to calmly face your fate with me."

As she said this, Lin Xiu returned her a confident smile.

They arrived at the principal's office on the third floor. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, Lin Xiuyi pulled the doorknob, but the mechanism wouldn't budge, and the door was indeed locked.

As expected, he took out his phone and opened the "Toolbox" app he had just installed that day.

【Item Name: 100% Successful Lock Pick】

[Description: It looks like an ordinary 10cm long and 1mm thick iron wire, but in reality, it's just an ordinary 1mm thick and 10cm long iron wire. It will break after one use, and it's quite ordinary in every way. Its only special feature is that it can improve the user's luck by a tiny bit. Who knows, maybe that 30cm thick bank vault door with a keyhole will open by itself in the next second?]

[Cost: 10 points]

Lin Xiuyi conjured a wire in his hand and gently inserted it into the door lock, and the door opened.

"Actually, I have never stolen anything."

Entering the principal's office, he turned back to explain to Isshiki Kin.

Isshiki Jin blinked, walked in, and casually closed the door behind her.

What are we looking for?

"The corruption and embezzlement mentioned in Maeda's suicide note are probably true, but Maeda couldn't have done those things alone, at least not by himself. The real ringleader must have been Yokota, who held the position of principal. We need to find the evidence now."

Lin Xiuyi walked closer to the desk, opened the first drawer, and found a box of condoms that was half-used.

"He completely treated the office as his private space, without any vigilance. If there were any records of bribes, they would definitely be here."

Isshiki Kin was examining the filing cabinet against the wall when she heard this and nodded.

She opened the cabinet to check and found a lot of paper documents inside. However, the titles were all normal school affairs records and teaching arrangements. She opened them one by one and quickly scanned them, but there was nothing unusual.

She was about to search for the second cabinet when she glanced back at Lin Xiuyi's progress and noticed that he had put on the same pair of glasses he had worn a while ago.

Lin Xiuyi tried to open the bottom drawer of the desk, but found it locked. He then exchanged for a lock pick and unlocked it, taking out a notebook from it.

"Got it."

He held up the notebook to examine it and discovered that it was locked with a combination lock.

"Two layers of protection. It seems he's not entirely unconcerned about someone coming to his office to search for evidence."

This 6-digit combination lock is impenetrable and cannot be opened with a pick, and there is no "100% successful decoder" in the "treasure chest".

Faced with this kind of combination lock that is difficult to unlock but not structurally sound, the most appropriate method at present is to try to break it by force.

However, Lin Xiuyi dismissed this idea after a moment's thought.

Japanese high schools generally have surveillance cameras. In schools with more abundant funding, such as Minato High School, cameras are installed in public areas such as school entrances, corridors, and staircases. However, there are no cameras installed in areas related to the privacy of students and teachers, such as the principal's office, which they visited. Therefore, there is no need to worry that Yokota would know that it was the two of them who came to the principal's office.

However, once he discovers that his notebook in his office is missing or damaged, he will immediately become alert and take measures, which will be detrimental to Lin Xiuyi's subsequent investigation and evidence collection.

"Can't it be solved?"

Isshiki Kin walked over and examined the notebook.

There is no good solution.

"Let me try it."

Ishiki Jin took the notebook, adjusted the combination lock several times, and tried again and again. Then she heard a soft "click" and it opened.

"The password is his daughter's birthday."

As if she had accomplished a simple task, Isshiki Kin smiled and handed the notebook to Lin Xiuyi. The latter, however, was stunned.

"He has a daughter? Wait, how do you even know his daughter's birthday?"

Lin Xiuyi was once again filled with surprise and doubt towards the woman in front of him.

"Because Shuichi said he was going to deal with the principal," Isshiki Jin replied with a smile, "so I investigated this person in advance. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' See, this has come in handy. Alright, let's take a look at what's written inside."

With important matters at hand, Lin Xiu had no choice but to suppress her irrelevant doubts and, together with Yi Se Jin, began to examine the contents of the notebook.

"A Chronicle of Observations on Beautiful Wives Outside the Yokohama Education Sector...?"

"On April 21, the weather was sunny. I observed that the mother of Kameda, a student in Class 4-B, was still quite charming. We had a brief chat about refined interests and found we got along very well. I have already sent her an invitation."

"On April 24th, the weather was overcast and rainy. The mother of Akagi, a student in Class C of the third grade, had a request. She mentioned that her family was facing difficulties and that the promise they made to each other was difficult to keep, so it was canceled."

"On April 27th, a weekend, I met with the mothers of Anci, Akechi, and Kameda together with Professor Maeda Kenpei. We had a very pleasant and harmonious conversation and made a promise to each other. Beforehand, I took 10 photos of Anci's face, 5 photos of Akechi's legs, and 8 photos of Kameda's buttocks. As agreed, I will give one-tenth of the photos to Maeda, which is 20 and 30."

"..."

After reading the contents of a randomly opened page, the two were deeply moved, perhaps even nine-tenths of the way.

"What kind of stuff is this?"

Lin Xiuyi took out her phone to take photos as evidence.

"That's really weird..."

Isshiki Kin also sighed.

The bizarre communication records with the student's mother—it's unclear what kind of evidence these records can be considered.

Just as they were about to turn to the first page of the notebook and start reading again, they heard Yokota speaking loudly outside the door. The voice grew closer; Yokota was clearly returning to his office.

"not good."

Lin Xiuyi let out a soft exclamation and sealed the notebook back into the drawer exactly as it was.

There's no way to leave now...

He saw the only large wardrobe in the room that seemed big enough to hide two people, and without saying a word, he pulled Isshiki Jin inside.
