Morning class had started. Everyone was talking normally, but Maria was unusually quiet today.
She sat by the window with her head lowered.
Oliver Miki noticed it immediately.
He closed his notebook and spoke softly—
Miki: "Maria."
Maria looked up.
Maria: "What?"
Miki: "Why are you sad?"
Maria stayed silent for a moment.
Then she spoke in a low voice—
Maria: "The police took my father away… they say he committed murder…"
Miki stared at her calmly.
Miki: "Do you believe that?"
Maria: "No… my father cannot do that…"
Miki: "Who is the victim?"
Maria: "The owner of the shop next door…"
Miki stood up.
Maria: "Where are you going?"
Miki: "To see the truth."

After school, Miki went straight to the crime scene.
Police tape was placed in front of the shop.
The area was almost empty.
He crouched down and examined the marks on the ground.
At that moment, a familiar invisible voice was heard beside him—
"Two people came here."
The invisible ghost floated beside him.
No ordinary person could see it.
Without looking up, Miki said—
Miki: "I can see that too."
There were two different types of shoe prints on the ground.
One was heavy.
One was light.
The ghost spoke again—
"But the police arrested only one person."
Miki walked toward the door.
The lock was not broken.
His eyes narrowed.
Miki: "The victim opened the door himself."
Ghost: "That means the killer was familiar."
---
In the back alley, Miki noticed dried mud.
A small piece of cloth was lying there.
He used telekinesis to pull the cloth into his hand.
The ghost said slowly—
"School uniform cloth…"
Miki said nothing.
He only observed the angle of the CCTV cameras around him.
---
That evening, he checked the footage.
The video showed that Maria's father was walking on another road at the time of the murder.
At the same time, someone else entered the shop.
The face was unclear.
But the uniform was visible.
---
The next day at school—
Maria was still quiet.
Miki stood beside her desk.
Maria: "Did you find anything?"
Miki said calmly—
Miki: "Your father is innocent."
Maria looked at him in shock.
Maria: "What?"
At that moment, the sound of a police car siren came from outside.
A few moments later, news arrived—
The victim's shop employee had been arrested.
Because CCTV proof had been found.
Tears appeared in Maria's eyes.
Maria: "How did you understand it?"
Miki looked toward the window and said—
"Details never lie."
---
After class ended, the ghost whispered beside him again—
"That was easy… too easy."
Miki slowly picked up his bag.
Miki: "Yes."
Ghost: "But tonight will not be easy…"
Miki stopped.
Because at that moment a message appeared on his phone:
Foundation Alert: Unusual movement detected.
Miki's eyes became still.
The night had not even begun yet.
