Chapter 2 The Case of Wrist Slashing and Bloodletting
Shibuya East side villa residential area.
Shipai, Saki family.
In the bedroom on the south side of the second floor, an oval ceiling light is attached to the top of your head.
Saki sat at the desk with his thumb and index fingers on his cheeks, closing his eyes to recall the scene at this time yesterday.
Then he opened his eyes and pulled out the desktop to place a book about photography technology in the bookshelf.
"I should have been reading this book during this period."
He read it casually and flipped over a tree-shaped page one-third of the page.
Close and set aside.
Saki grabbed the black ink umbrella leaning against the side of the chair, and Ju Zheng held it to his chest and pressed it.
"Peng", the ink umbrella was instantly opened, and the space under the umbrella surface was dim and it seemed out of place.
The j hook of the umbrella is facing forward, "Swish", Saki rotates the handle of the umbrella just in a circle, then pulls it down and silently recites "Retrace".
Looking back at the time, the environment under the umbrella shows colorful streams of light that appear like shadows. After a moment, time and space are fixed.
There is a "person" sleeping soundly on the desk book.
Sakimoto thought he could see the scene of himself sitting here reading a book, but objectively speaking, he couldn't tell whether the person lying on the book was when he turned his head and looked at his side face a day ago.
Because the freeze-formed three-dimensional image can be viewed from 360 degrees, it is really blurry, like a layer of mosaic and a certain degree of opacity. There are only some color blocks that cannot be considered as general outlines.
Saki did not feel disappointed, and he already had a worse bottom line in his heart.
According to the current situation, at least a lot of useful information can be extracted.
For example, based on hairstyle and face shape, you can distinguish the gender of men and women, some prominent morphological characteristics, as well as movements.
All of these will play a crucial role in future cases.
Saki only has a vague impression of the cases of Kaneda and Conan, and it is undoubtedly a fantasy to think of all the details. Although he has a certain confidence in his ability to reason, if he really wants to compete with Kaneda and Conan in the actual case, he may still win less and lose more.
However, with the powerful assistance of Mo Umbrella, his confidence has risen to a higher level.
When he was about to activate the backtracking skill again, he was told to consume a little detective value.
This is really impossible for Saki, whose detective value is empty...
At present, the first thing is to obtain detective values, which is related to the upgrade and acquisition of sub-attributes of the ink umbrella, as well as the function of putting away the ink umbrella. Moreover, according to the unreliability of the ink umbrella, there seem to be more easter eggs waiting for me to dig in.
"Are you waiting for the seven incredible murders in the school or taking the initiative?"
"I..." Saki, who was lying on the bed, pressed the radio buttons with briskly, turned on the square TV and switched to the news channel.
"In the next three days, Typhoon No. 7, Lia, will hit the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu Island..."
After a while, he did not see the case that happened near Tokyo, so he closed it. As for places that are too far away, such as Hokkaido, he will not consider it for the time being.
...
In the middle of the night, there was an abandoned factory surrounded by a silver sewage river.
Mottled painted gray exterior walls, exposed rusty steel bars.
A few crisp "crunch" sounds, the wheels ran over the broken branches on the ground, and two bright apertures appeared on the exterior wall of the factory, moving slantedly.
The rolling shutter door had long disappeared, and the car turned into the factory with a familiarity.
Rusty tripods piled in the corners, black.
The headlights shine on a machine tool in the middle to remove the equipment, and the metal components used to fix the equipment remain on the surface.
A man wearing a mask is unconscious from the back seat, placing his man flat on the machine tool, with his head and forearms hanging backwards on the edge of the machine tool.
The mouth is pasted with black tape, and the forearm and neck are fixed to the machine tool with tape.
Taking out two bottles of sealed mineral water, the man in the mask unzipped the bottle cap, and poured it on the face of the unconscious man.
Under the wet hair, water drips on the ground, making a "click" sound.
There is no tendency for men to wake up.
Afterwards, the man in the mask showed off his common tool knife and pushed out his sharp blade. The cold light shone brightly, cutting a long hole in the left and right wrists of the unconscious man.
Scarlet blood emerged from the opening and flowed downwards. After a moment, the palms were filled with red veins.
The blood finally gathered at the rough fingertips. The man in the mask was ready to take two empty mineral water bottles to catch the blood drops on both sides, and then translated them to the ground along the falling track, and stood up.
He waited until the red bloodline reached half the position of the bottle before he got up, pulled half of the mask away, and showed a devilish smile.
...
The next day, the silver bicycle was parked outside a small shop two hundred meters away from the Saki family.
Saki bought red date-flavored bags of milk as usual.
The stainless steel cashier reflects dazzling light, and the face is full of stubble. The middle-aged man in a loose white robe stands behind the cashier like a statue, with his thick nostrils facing Saki.
Saki grabbed the bag of milk with one hand and took out the steel from his pocket with the other hand, and the ink umbrella hung on his shoulder.
His father, Rentaro Saki, who loves photography, has a "Saki Image" company in the northern commercial district of Shibuya. It has a good business operation and is enough for pocket use.
Behind him were two girls, discussing scandals and anecdotes of his classmates.
The worker who was carrying the container was in his thirties, limped open the white glass door and placed two boxes of drinks beside the shelves. He wore a baseball cap and a pair of gloves he put on his hand were covered with brown spots.
After putting down the cargo box, hesitated to Saki.
Saki looked up and saw that he was a simple-looking person.
"Boss Xiao Zhiro, please confirm the receipt." As he said that, he took out his wrinkled notebook and tore off a page.
After taking the single page, Akira confirmed it, nodded, and glanced at the strange glory in his eyes, "Genya, is there anything good today?"
"I was seen... I won the second prize of Bing Dew."
"Oh? Is it the one under the bottle cap?" Xiao Zhiro was surprised. "You are so lucky when the company is doing promotions. I remember there are 800,000 yen?"
"Yes...yes." Yuangu's eyes fell on the iron rack filled with newspapers of the day.
Seeing that Xiao Zhiro was about to reply, Saki impatiently placed the coins on the table, "Hey, I said, boss, we are rushing to school. Can you put the old chat aside first?" The two girls behind him immediately agreed.
The boss murmured in a low voice, "Young people today are really impatient."
Saki crossed the left Gen Valley and saw a dark red spot on the other party's gloves, like paint stains or tomato sauce sprinkled on it. He didn't care. He picked up a newspaper on the iron rack and said, "Don't look for money, let's have another newspaper."
Walking out of the store, Saki looked down at the newspaper. The large pages were about to tell a very sensational "wrist cutting and bloodletting case". The murderer was described as a demon with a special blood habit. He used an empty bottle to receive the blood flowing out of the victim from his wrist and then drank it in large gulps.
"The body was found in a rarely visited woods and houses... the murderer is still at large."
"The police suspected that the murderer still had the possibility of continuing to commit the crime."
