Chapter 8, someone is present

As the sky gradually darkened, Gōya Ryoko, who had exchanged phone numbers with Kamiyama Mirai, also drove over and kindly took the young girl home

Mikami Mirai turned her eyes and, recalling Beichuan Temple's performance at school, touched her smooth chin

Gong Ye Liangzi's nose twitched slightly

Yes, I am the girlfriend of Shijun, and Sister Liangzi can call me Mirai.

"I say, you young man, you spend all day not studying properly, but instead are busy with romance, and you actually engage in these antics every day, making extra work for your sister Ganye—" As Ganye Ryoko spoke, she took two steps forward, and only then did she notice Kamiyama Mirai, who was hidden behind Kitagawa Temple.

A woman's mouth is a deceiver's ghost

The reason for adding the character '又' is that this student from Beichuan Temple has discovered an overwhelming number of headless murder cases or crime scenes in the past half month

Responding to an emergency is not a simple matter. Moreover, her team has been overwhelmed with the case submitted earlier regarding Beichuan Temple, and requesting additional personnel requires approval from superiors. Of course, the most critical issue is that she has not seen the crime scene and cannot mobilize personnel based solely on the few statements of a high school student

Once the other party drove out of her sight, she finally let out a small sigh and began to fumble for her keys

"Beichuan Xiaozai, is this your girlfriend?"

The impression she gives to Kamiyama is one of "dominance"

I will take note of that. Unable to continue obtaining useful information, Beichuan Temple merely nodded, finished the lemon juice at hand in one gulp, and said, "School starts tomorrow, and I still have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now"

Oh?

Before Beichuan Temple could respond, Kamiyama Mirai behind had already revealed a sweet smile and said in a soft and gentle voice

"Who do you think is responsible for this?" Takano Yoshiko was amused by the disdainful expression of this young man, and she casually shook off the ash from her cigarette.

He took two steps forward and directly addressed the matter at hand

Beichuan Temple has always been like this, exhibiting an overly calm and mature demeanor, which in turn hinders her ability to communicate effectively with others

If we only consider the methods and the gender of the victims, it is indeed possible that a perverse murderer who became active three months ago is involved. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of organized crime; everything will have to wait for the results from the forensic department before drawing any conclusions

The interior has long been engulfed by darkness, at the end of the long hallway are the stairs leading to the second floor and the restroom, the entire house is eerily silent

Well, I will inform you as soon as I have first-hand information. Be careful, Beichuan kid, you have appeared at the scene twice in a row, and you may also be targeted by the murderer

"Is your boyfriend like this at school too?" Gangye Ryouko asked bluntly

A faint smell of blood and a hint of an unusual odor permeate the air

Although the reason is unknown, the majority of the victims are high school girls in their teens

From the mouth of Gōya Yoshiko, Kamiyama Mirai also learned about the lesser-known side of Kitagawa Temple.

However, the content within made Goya Yoshiko smile

Her hands and feet felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, a chill surged straight to the crown of her head, and her body trembled

The subsequent matters were unexpectedly simple. Gangye Liangzi called in colleagues to clean up the crime scene, and then left Kitagawa Temple and Kamiyama Mirai to finish their statements at the police station before following the procedure. She then drove the two of them to a nearby ice cream shop

Be especially cautious of your surroundings in the coming days, and it is best if you can avoid getting involved. However, you still need to remain vigilant these days, as you are present at the scene today, and it would not be surprising if the perpetrator notices you. Remember, if there are any unusual occurrences, you must call me, and I will come over immediately

Gong Ye Liang Zi revealed a smile that was intriguing

Thank you, Sister Ryoko. "Mikuri Kamiyama stood at the entrance of her three-story detached house, politely waving goodbye to Ryoko Gono.

"Why is there no possibility of a copycat offender? Sister Ryozi?" Kamiyama Mirai asked curiously, lowering her palm.

Hehe

Someone has been here

That is the smell of decay

The individual was not wearing a police uniform, but was simply dressed in warm civilian clothing. However, at a glance, one could easily perceive that this person was likely engaged in work related to the police or an inspector.

Considering that this high school student, who possesses an excessively strong 'attractive and peculiar aura', is in a somewhat unique situation

"I have indeed obtained some valuable information; it turns out that Kitagawa has such a side to him..." Kamiyama Mirai's thoughts were wandering, and she could not help but feel her curiosity bubbling over.

Gong Ye Liangzi continued to speak

... ...

Gongye Riko turned her head to look at Kamitani Mirai, who had raised her hand

Upon hearing Gōya Yoshiko mention that Kitagawa Temple had once subdued a heinous criminal with bare hands, Kamitani Mirai could not help but widen her beautiful eyes

"Similar to the female corpse discovered by Beichuan a few days ago, the perpetrator first violently struck the victim's head with a blunt object such as a steel pipe or a baseball bat, and then skillfully performed a surgical procedure to remove the arms—uh? Do you have any questions? Beichuan's little girlfriend?"

"Really, Sister Ryozi, I have Terakawa-kun to protect me." Kamiyama Mirai said without any embarrassment as she linked her arm with Kitagawa Tera beside her, appearing as if they were deeply in love.

Mikami Mirai's little white rabbit slippers are haphazardly placed at the door

For now, this is all the information, right? The Beichuan Temple, as per usual, did not acknowledge Kamitani Mirai

Finally finding the key, Kamiyama Mirai opened the front door.

Under the pretext of being the girlfriend of the Bei Chuan Temple, the two of them chatted for a while about him.

Ah ... ... I understand

The current behavior of Beichuan Temple can no longer be explained merely as a change in character; it is as if a different person has taken its place

This utterly ordinary scene suddenly caused Kamiyama Mirai to come to a halt.

Beichuan, have you discovered another crime scene?

Ganya Keishi, whose full name is Ganya Yoshiko, is a mature woman in her twenties or thirties

Beichuan Temple merely glanced at Kamitani Mirai from the side, but was too indifferent to bother with her

Gong Ye Liangzi was not so ill-natured as to smoke in front of the two minors; while chewing gum, she said

This little brat who doesn't show the rabbit but releases the eagle. Seeing the figure of Kitagawa Temple leaving quickly, Ryouko Goya felt a bit of a headache again

Gong Ye Liangzi surveyed the surroundings of the lake park and instinctively added the word 'again'

Unlike the Bei Chuan Temple that suffered from bullying in school, the Bei Chuan Temple during the winter break seems like a different person, assisting in discovering crime scenes and even helping the police apprehend suspects

This incident may be related to the serial murder case I reported about ten days ago, which occurred in the small cabin behind. You can go in and take a look for yourself

Gong Ye Liang Zi also made an exception by giving her personal mobile phone number to the other party

She does not remember the technique of the Beichuan Temple in school, to subdue criminals with bare hands? Kamiyama Mirai has developed a slight anticipation for the upcoming school season tomorrow

How could one not be filled with excitement by the presence of such a remarkable person nearby

As soon as Ryoji Goya saw Kitagawa Temple, she quickly approached him, handed over the paper bag containing clean clothes and pants, and then spoke up

The reason for excluding the possibility of a copycat is that we have not yet disclosed the existence of this murderer. However, after the recent case of the body found in the lake park, it is likely that this information can no longer be suppressed. Our police force is incompetent, so we can only advise residents to be more cautious when going out, especially someone as lovely as you, a high school girl, Future-chan

This is also quite natural, as Kamiyama Mirai's parents have always worked late hours, and it has become a common occurrence for no one to be at home.

Are you the only one?" Beichuan Temple glanced at the empty space behind Gangye Riko, and a rare look of disdain appeared on his face

There have already been five cases of various sizes lined up.
