At the beginning, Stone God’s timid demeanor suddenly shifts, transforming from an ordinary high school teacher into a high-intelligence monster with a powerful punch!
Despite not being present, Stone God could deduce the murder case from a pair of shoes and Hanaoka Yasuko’s reaction, even assertively claiming the murder wasn’t done by Yasuko alone, but with her daughter, Misato!
Stone God plans to use reverse reasoning to help Hanaoka Yasuko and her daughter create an alibi, enabling them to smoothly escape blame from the police!
"Initially thought he was truly an ordinary high school teacher, but now it seems this Stone God is absolutely extraordinary!"
"When Stone God knocked on the door, he was already wearing gloves, clearly intending not to leave fingerprints, it seems he’s long decided to help Hanaoka Yasuko and her daughter dispose of the body!"
"The motive is clear, Stone God is doing it for love, as the first Chapter of the novel stated he liked Hanaoka Yasuko very much indeed."
"So this isn’t about deducing the killer this time?"
"Let’s see how Stone God helps Hanaoka Yasuko and her daughter solve this problem using reverse reasoning next."
"Chu Kuang is amazing!"
"This book has absorbed me with just two Chapters of plot!"
Lu Yang felt an inexplicable anxiety, even though he had just read up to the third Chapter of the novel: "So the upcoming plot should showcase the clash between the police and the criminals?"
Seems he guessed correctly.
The story indeed shifts to the police perspective.
Togashi’s body was discovered outside.
More and more diverse characters gradually make their appearances.
The most highlighted character is named Tang Chuanxue, a physics professor at a renowned university in Chu Continent, and even the police often consult him, showing how formidable this person is.
Through Tang Chuanxue’s introduction.
Stone God’s identity gets uncovered.
Turns out Stone God was a math genius during his university years, and even now, Tang Chuanxue, a physics professor at a prestigious university, highly praises Stone God’s mathematical brilliance.
Why is he now so downcast?
It turns out Stone God’s parents were plagued by illness, leading to extremely poor family conditions.
Despite struggling in family life, even working while studying, Stone God still couldn’t make ends meet for the family of three and thus lost the qualification to pursue further studies.
Here’s where the novel’s background comes in.
The background is set many years ago by Chu Kuang, when Blue Star was relatively backward, and lacking money meant having to give up education, unlike now with various supports available, not to mention Stone God was labeled as a "freak," utterly incapable of handling interpersonal relationships.
Due to bad luck and systemic issues in the field of mathematics combined with real-world hardships, Stone God appears so downtrodden now.
An intellectual showdown between Tang Chuanxue and Stone God?
Zhong Continent writer Xu Ping’s gaze was glued to the words on the computer screen, unconsciously biting his lip until it turned pale.
Indeed it was an intellectual showdown.
Tang Chuanxue originally had no interest in the police’s consulted case but became enthusiastic upon knowing Stone God was involved, even arranging a meeting with Stone God.
At the start of the meeting.
Tang Chuanxue presented a mathematical conjecture that even some internationally renowned mathematicians found complicated, to test Stone God.
Stone God solved it in merely six hours, showcasing his genius in mathematics openly!
But mathematics seems not equivalent to reasoning.
Or perhaps a mathematical genius like Stone God doesn’t seem to possess matching criminal skills.
Even though he skillfully helped Hanaoka Yasuko hide the body and divert attention, the police gradually found some loopholes.
Is it going to unravel?
Just when Xu Ping had this thought, the plot took a turn, and Hanaoka Yasuko managed to evade murder suspicion by relying on the alibi.
"Stone God is formidable!"
"Tang Chuanxue is formidable!"
Their confrontation is definitely brain-teasing, the police no longer suspect Hanaoka Yasuko, yet Tang Chuanxue insists on some of his suspicions!
Despite racking his brain, Xu Ping still couldn’t figure out how Stone God accomplished all the arrangements and directed the situation toward this development.
The key is the alibi!
What method did Stone God use to create the alibi for Hanaoka and her daughter?
Police investigation reveals:
Hanaoka Yasuko and her daughter went from school to ramen shop, cinema, karaoke, and finally home, leaving a message for Yuan Zi on the home phone.
The timeline is unassailable!
However, the first two Chapters of the novel clearly pointed out that Togashi died at the hands of this mother and daughter that night.
This timeline definitely has issues!
There is indeed a problem with the timeline.
But no one understands where the problem lies.
However, the following plot catches everyone by surprise!
Stone God actually turned himself in!
He took all the blame upon himself!
Moreover, he even designed his motive for the crime to perfection, making it impossible for the police to overturn his statements!
"Why did Stone God suddenly turn himself in, and his charges are completely valid with corresponding evidence, did he really intend to kill Togashi long ago?"
"We all know the mother and daughter killed Togashi, that false timeline, how did Stone God manage it?"
"Could this book be Narrative Trickery?"
"If it’s Narrative Trickery, I’ll fight with that old rascal!"
