In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

There’s a notoriously hard-to-deal-with Alpha at No. 2 High School

Sleeping in school, and fighting outside school, Jiang Huai has consistently topped the list of ‘students teachers most want to beat to death’ among all the teachers who have taught him for many years. He also holds the first position in the ‘Most Aggressive Alpha’ list recognized by the official vote at No. 2 High School.

It is said that Jiang Huai has even forced an Omega he was interested in to transfer schools, almost leaving a lifelong mark on the person.

Despite being such an Alpha with a track record full of misdeeds and displaying bad behavior, someone has caught him in the restroom holding a syringe, injecting Omega-specific pheromone suppressants into his veins.

2.

Jiang Huai has always had a disapproving gaze towards Bo Jian from school—a well-off background, good-looking, and excelling academically. He ranks first in the No. 2 High School student-voted “Most Attractive Alpha” list and holds the top spot for “Alpha most desired for a relationship across the entire school”.

Bo Jian, being such a young and inexperienced pretty boy, Jiang Huai thinks he could easily overpower him with just one hand.

Until that day in the men’s restroom, when Bo Jian caught him injecting himself with pheromone suppressants.

He threw a punch that didn't land on Bo Jian's face. Bo Jian reversed his grip, pinning his hands behind his back, his breath pressed against the back of his neck, and casually said, "...Oh, you're an Omega?"

3.

Summer physical education class, before the class starts.

Bo Jian was cornered by Jiang Huai. “Don’t want to take suppressants, do me a favor, bite me.”

Bo Jian smiled lightly, “Why should I?”

Jiang Huai sniffed the faint, cool scent of peppermint leaves in the air, reminiscent of a snowy night.

“Because you intentionally used pheromones to seduce me.” <<less

“Luo Zhi loves Sheng Huai Nan, but nobody knows about it.”... more>>

Have you ever loved a person, loved him so deeply to the point that your love was engraved in your bones, and yet, nobody knew about it?

As a result of a chance meeting that occurred when they were young, in the eleven years during which she grew up, Luo Zhi’s life always had indistinct impressions of Sheng Huai Nan.

His subsequent reappearance was so dazzling and so blinding, that from then on, Luo Zhi’s diary transformed into a one-act play – a one-act play that belonged solely to him.

Luo Zhi’s love was so humble, so careful, and yet, so proud. Her internal demons grew at such an alarming rate, there was no way she could easily and cleanly retract her love for him.

He was just there – in Luo Zhi’s heart, in front of Luo Zhi’s eyes. As long as she took a single step forward, she would be able to break the distance that had built up between them within the past ten years. However, the furthest distance in the world is not the distance between us when I stand in front of you, loving you despite you having no idea that I love you. Rather, it is when I love you, and yet I am unable to touch you.

In the noisy and busy city of Beijing, P University stood there with its spacious grounds, and yet it was like the faraway Zhen Hua High School in the North – leaving Luo Zhi with absolutely no place to hide. <<less

Xie Jiaran deals with mild skin hunger syndrome, however, he also has severe mysophobia, to the extent that he even considers whether he has wet wipes on him before shaking hands with others. ... more>>

Thus, whenever his skin hunger happens to break out, he can only resort to sleep to numb himself. Fortunately, the symptoms are relatively mild to be considered painful.

However, all of this was mercilessly disrupted after Liang Sunian moved into the dormitory.

To his surprise, he actually showed no resistance to this person’s closeness. Even as Liang Sunian stood off the court, lifting the hem of his shirt to drink water after playing basketball, an irresistible urge to be tightly held in his arms surged within him.

As the sleep therapy failed, his skin hunger syndrome worsened.

How could his typically aloof roommate, even while casting such a glance that seemed like granting a favor, say such words to him?

Xie Jiaran fell silent for a moment. He repeated the previous words in his usual cold tone, trying to stay composed yet inevitably conveying a hint of resignation:
