Chapter 6: Chapter 6. The power of Kuroto Mikiya's brother
"Sister Shi, you don't look well."
"Who do you think did it?"
Ryougi Shiki looked at the boy who was eating a hamburger in front of her with a forced smile, and saw two faint black bags under her eyes on her pretty face.
Thanks to Higashino Kanade, Ryougi Shiki was thinking about Higashino Kanade and the murderer all night last night, and it was dawn before she had slept for a few hours.
"Don't be angry. I don't blame you for being an hour late." Higashino Kanade licked the salad at the corner of his mouth with a smile, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Ryougi Shiki.
Today, Ryougi Shiki was wearing a thigh-length soap-colored kimono and a bright red leather jacket. Her neat shoulder-length hair showed off her heroic spirit, while her slender and soft body retained her feminine charm.
Sister Shi in classic mode, awesome!
"Do you know that getting rid of bodyguards is a very troublesome thing?" Ryougi Shiki sighed lightly and sat down next to Tono Kanade without any courtesy.
As the next head of a large family, she is often forced to do things against her will. The current head of the family would not agree if she travels without a few bodyguards.
"Waiter, please give me two more spicy chicken burgers, two servings of French fries, and two glasses of ice cola!" Dongye Kanade called the waiter.
Seeing the mess on Tono Kanade's table, Ryougi Shiki twitched her lips and asked, "You've already eaten so much, can you eat any more?"
On Higashino Kanade's table, there were already quite a few hamburger boxes piled up, empty Coke cups lined up in a row, and even the waiter who delivered the food looked at him with surprise.
"Don't underestimate me. I was only ten bowls of noodles away from the title of Ichiraku Ramen Big Eater. It's a pity that I lost to the Akimichi clan in the end." Higashino Kanade showed an unwilling smile.

Of course, Hyuga Hinata did not participate in that game, otherwise Tono Kanade would definitely have been beaten up.
"Ichiraku Ramen? The Akimichi clan? Stop changing the subject. I'm not here to eat." Ryougi Shiki looked a little impatient, and there was a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes when she looked at Tono Kanade.
Higashino Kanade took a sip of Coke, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression became serious and cold.
"Let's get back to the point. There is no love or hate without reason in the world. The murderer must have some special purpose in mind, so he framed you for all the murders. The easiest way to catch the murderer is to wait. Since the murderer's target is you, he will definitely frame you next time. We just need to wait and catch him when he appears again."
"Too slow! There will definitely be more victims next time." Ryougi Shiki shook his head, very dissatisfied with this plan.
"I also think this method is slow and clumsy, so I asked you to come here to cooperate with you."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, if I didn't ask you to come here for cooperation, could it be for a date?" Higashino Kanade shrugged innocently.
"Date? Do you think too highly of yourself?" Ryougi Shiki glared at Tono Kanade and slowly let down her guard.
In her opinion, a child who just turned twelve and lost his parents would not have such complicated thoughts.
Higashino Kanade dipped his finger in ketchup and drew a pattern on the white table.
As soon as Ryougi Shiki saw it, she immediately recognized the meaning of the pattern. It was the school emblem of their high school.
"There was one thing I didn't mention yesterday. The police found something with a pattern like this at the crime scene. Considering the fact that the murderer was coming for you, the murderer is most likely someone from your school."
Ryougi Shiki stirred her Coke with a straw, seeming to be thinking about something.
"The murderer must have some purpose in mind when he came after you. Think about it, have you offended anyone at school, or has anyone impressed you recently?"
"I usually don't communicate with others at school. Some people may hate me, but they would never do something like this."
Ryougi Shiki thought for a moment and suddenly his eyes lit up. He said uncertainly, "There is one person who left a deep impression on me. Some time ago, someone confessed his love to me, but I rejected him. To be honest, I haven't seen him much recently."
"Who is it?"
"I forgot the name, but I think he should remember it."
Ryougi Shiki took out her cell phone and made a call, and the call was connected soon.
"Hey, Kurogiri, I need to see you for something... It's urgent, it would be best if we could meet right away... The location... You can come to McDonald's in the city center."
Ryougi Shiki hung up the phone and turned around to find that Tono Kanade looked as if he had choked on his food.
"You look a little unwell, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... nothing."
Higashino Kanade, who has excellent acting skills, immediately switched to a harmless look. Although he was very unhappy, he still kept a smile on his face.
Why the hell am I such a jerk? I dug a hole for myself.
How can I conquer Sister Shiki now that Kuroto Kan is here? No, I have to find a way to get rid of him.
…
Half an hour later, the breathless Hei Tong Qian also arrived at McDonald's.
"Shiki, what do you want from me?"
Kuroto Kirei wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned his gaze to Tono Kanade who was next to Ryougi Shiki.
"He is?"
"...A friend of mine." Ryougi Shiki paused and answered.
Kuroto Mikiya showed a surprised expression, as if he was surprised that Ryougi Shiki had made a friend, and then he stretched out a hand to Higashino Kanade with a look of relief and said, "Hello, my name is Kuroto Mikiya, you can call me Kan."
Faced with the goodwill shown by Kuroto Kiryu, Higashino Kanade raised his eyebrows uncontrollably. It must be said that Kuroto Kiryu looked quite good.
His appearance is not as stunningly handsome as Higashino Kanade, on the contrary, he is just a little handsome, above average.
But his facial features are quite soft, giving people a feminine beauty. The black-framed glasses make him look like a scholar. It is no exaggeration to describe him as "kind-looking". He is the kind of person who can make people feel good at first sight.
If Higashino Kanade was a tough guy who wouldn't rely on freeloaders, he would have shaken hands with a smile and accepted this friend from the bottom of his heart.
But Tono Kanade's target is Ryougi Shiki. To his love rival, Kuroto Mikiya, Tono Kanade just wants to say: You are a good person, but we can't be friends.
Dongye Zou did not hold his hand, but just nodded and said, "Dongye Zou."
Kuroto Kane also withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly. Ryougi Shiki looked at Tono Kanade in confusion and took the initiative to explain: "Kanade lost his parents some time ago, so he may not be in a good mood. Don't mind it."
"Is that so? What a poor child!"
Kuroto Kiryu also suddenly realized that his good-natured personality made him very popular and he could make friends with anyone. The last time he failed socially was when he faced Ryougi Shiki.
"I was inconsiderate just now, I'm sorry. I have a younger sister who is about your age. If you feel lonely, you can come to my house and play. You are always welcome." Kurotogi Kan'ya looked apologetic.
Facing the initiative of Kuroto Mikiya to show goodwill, Higashino Kanade only wanted to say:
My child, my child! You are not much older than me!
And don't speak in that gentle tone. I would rather jump off the building than be your friend!
Higashino Kanade turned away unhappily, not giving any face to Kuroto Mikiya at all.
Although most ninjas will do anything to achieve their goals, when it comes to conquering Ryougi Shiki, Tono Kanade does not want to say one thing in public and do another behind the scenes; his strategy is aboveboard!
"Ahem! It's time to get down to business, Sister Shiki." Higashino Kanade didn't want to communicate with Kuroto Mikiya anymore, so he quickly got to the point.
"Here's what happened..."
Ryougi Shiki began to ask Kuroto Kirei for information about the man who had confessed his love to her. Her real purpose was hidden in her words: to find the murderer.
In Ryougi Shiki's opinion, Kurodori Mikiya is just an ordinary person without any power. Bringing him into the group will only harm him. Even if he joins the team, he will probably be a drag.
