Hyouka - Volume 03 - The Kudryavka Sequence - Welcome to KANYA FESTA! (1)

Capella Club and Go Club were targeted. The A Capella Club's cooler box
had been placed outside the courtyard from the beginning of their
performance, while the Go Club left their Go stones inside their club room
the day before the Cultural Festival started without locking the door. In other
words, the suspect could have been anyone.
I was probably reading the article posted on the billboard by the entrance
with a smiling face. While I hardly know the people from the Wall
Newspaper Club, I do get a sort of closeness with them by just reading such
an article.
Besides, what moved me was the timing of this special edition. As they were
supposed to release a special edition once every two hours (come to think of
it, that coincides with the time taken for "Juumoji" to commit his crimes)
starting from 8am. But right now it's only a little past 7. They must have
pasted this first thing upon arriving at school. They sure got some spirit.
As I too was full of spirits to begin with, there's no way I could lose to them,
as I too had arrived at school by 7. To be precise, I was already here when the
gates opened at 6. And I was thinking there wouldn't be anyone at this time of
day, but there turned out to be quite a number of people. Guess common
sense doesn't work during the Kamiyama High School Cultural Festival.
Now, for the main target.
There were two clubs that begin with [KU]: the Quiz Study Club ([KU]IZU
KEN クイズ 研 ) and the Global Act Club ([GU]RO-BARU AKUTO
KURABU グローバルアクトクラブ). While the [KU] in Quiz Study Club lacked
a diacritic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakuten), and would seem like the
obvious choice, their activities were already completed by the first day, not to
mention they did not book any classroom for use (as a member of the General
Committee, I guarantee this to be true). On the other hand, the Global Act
Club would be holding a panel exhibition, which was quite rare for the clubs
here, which means the door to their room would be open at all times. So by
process of elimination, the best way to catch "Juumoji" on his act would be
here.
I climbed the stairs and headed to the classroom of Class 3-E, where the
