In After School, I wanted to write about a story about a murder that was committed for motives that ordinary people could not understand. The title of the book sparked some discussion, but I still think it is good. - Keigo Higashino
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been teaching mathematics at this girls' high school for five years, and life was peaceful, but everything has changed recently.
Last Saturday, on the way to school, someone suddenly bumped into me and I almost fell onto the railway tracks; after school on Monday, I was taking a shower at school and was almost electrocuted by a mechanism; after school on Tuesday, I was passing by the teaching building and a flower pot flew out from the third floor and hit me on the head; after school on Thursday, someone was poisoned to death in the locker room I often use, and the door of the scene was blocked from the inside.
I called the police and decided to investigate, but I didn't expect that someone else would die at school, and I was hit by a car on my way home at night. Could I still escape after school this time?
