Book 2: Chapter 3: Part 4
It was hot and humid after school. I made my way towards the club building where the incident happened a few days ago. The area didn’t look any different; after all, it wasn’t like it had to be taped off because there was a murder case. Now that classes were over, I couldn’t see anyone around since the home economics and the audiovisual rooms were rarely used in the first place. This would be one of the most ideal places in the school to call out Sudou.
“Man, it’s hot…”
This weather is pretty abnormal. I guess this is how summer should usually feel, but I didn’t think it’d be this hot and humid inside the building. Well, this is the effect of getting used to air conditioning every day. It felt even hotter because I was so used to the cold air of the A/C.
The air conditioning was probably on during classes, but I couldn’t tell from how hot it was.
“Sorry for bringing you over here.”
Horikita, who was standing next to me, didn’t look like she was feeling the heat as she looked down the hallway.
“How strange of you to stick out your own neck for this case. Since we’ve already found the witness, there’s nothing that can be done anymore. What more are you trying to do?”
“Sudou’s the first friend I made. I want to help him out a bit.”
“Do you think there’s a way to prove he’s innocent then?”
