There is a large log dining table in the center of the west side of Lake Sadei Campground. Shotaro Kujo, who got up before eight o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for everyone, put all the meals he prepared into a picnic basket, and he carried two heavy picnic baskets.
The basket came to the dining table and began to lay out the light yellow picnic cloth, and then arranged the tableware neatly.
He was not in a hurry to take out the food and put it on the plate. Instead, he waited for the tourists who came to have breakfast as planned. He also held a note board in his hand. As long as someone came, he would write it after their name.
Draw a circle.
Speaking,,,edition.]
Tourists with a strong sense of time came to the big log dining table one after another. Fujiwara Yuu came here first after waking up Hattori Heiji and others because he wanted to confirm whether anyone was missing.
According to his reasoning, the murderer should have already taken action.
"Hmm? Where did Mr. Kurata go? Did any of you see him?" Shotaro Kujo asked.
"Are you still sleeping? If my wife hadn't woken me up, I could have slept until noon." Xiangshan Saburo smiled and touched Xiangshan Shengzi's thigh, and said mischievously: "After all, I was very tired last night.
Work hard, right?"
"Yes, my husband is very powerful." Xiangshan Shengzi responded with a smile.
The somewhat wretched-looking male college student appeared in Fujiwara Yu's mind. He looked at Hattori Heiji next to him and told what happened last night without reservation:
"Actually, last night..."
Before he finished speaking, an unknown object suddenly fell directly from the sky and landed precisely on the delicious-looking French toast in the center. A closer look revealed that it was feces mixed with purple fruit juice.
"Wow!
It’s bird droppings, and it’s so disgusting!
Sayuri Kasai, who has a light appetite, covered her hands in front of her mouth as if she was about to vomit. She looked up at the big tree behind her and exclaimed: "Oh my God, why are there so many crows in the tree?!"
Eiji Tono, who wanted to eat French toast, stood up angrily and kicked the tree a few times, but obviously his strength was not enough. The crows on the tree were not disturbed, and even the leaves did not fall.
Come down.
Yosuke Itsuki, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, pushed away Eiji Tono who was trying to kick him a few more times, and chuckled:
"Hey, hey, hey, you're useless, you have to work hard, young man!"
crow?
When Fujiwara Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the treetops. After noticing something similar to cloth, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up and tried to stop Itsuki Yosuke from kicking the tree, but it was still a step too late.
Winter—whoosh—Peng!
The sound of kicking the tree trunk with all your strength, the sound of something falling from the treetops, the loud sound of heavy objects falling on the dining table, and finally the shattering sound of the dinner plate being broken, Kasai Sayuri couldn't bear it anymore.
The sound of retching and the scream of Sayuri Kakizaki after witnessing everything.
"Uh...oh!
"
“Ahhhhh!
"
What fell from the treetops onto the dining table was no ordinary thing. It was a body that had exhibited rigor mortis and was accompanied by a faint corpse odor.
Although his entire face had been chopped up beyond recognition with a sharp weapon and it was impossible to distinguish his appearance, the clothes on his body were exactly the same as when they met yesterday, so it was certain that he was Soichi Kurata who had not come to gather and whose whereabouts were unknown.
Hattori Heiji immediately reached out to cover Toyama Kazuha's eyes. The hand covering his eyes couldn't stop shaking. He hadn't even celebrated his birthday yet and was only fourteen years old now. How could he have seen such bloody violence?
scene.
It's natural to be scared, and it's already very good that I didn't vomit along with it.
Although Miyano Akemi, who was in the organization, had seen scenes of traitors being shot, this was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene. She mustered up the courage to protect Sayuri Kakizaki, who was so scared that she was sobbing, behind her, and closed her eyes.
I don't want to see that body anymore.
"Yes...it was Jason who killed him!"
Jason?
Fujiwara Yu frowned and looked at Itsuki Yosuke who blurted out this foreign-sounding name, and quickly asked:
"Why did you say such a thing after seeing the body? Who is Jason?"
"You should remember the news that was broadcast on the radio last night, right?" Itsuki Yosuke reached out to unbutton the top button of his black shirt, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and said slowly: "The escaped death row prisoner
It’s Jason, the murderer who made the world’s hair stand on end ten years ago. I used to work as a reporter for a photo weekly magazine, and at that time I covered the indiscriminate killings that occurred in Saitama Prefecture.”
Yosuke Itsuki began to talk about the murderer Jason, but Fujiwara Yu didn't take it to heart. He didn't think the murderer killed people indiscriminately, and he didn't even think that the death row inmates who had just escaped from prison could happen to meet them.
, and directly carried out the murderous act without much thought.
You must know that Soichi Kurata's body was placed on the camphor tree next to the large log dining table. Since it was an indiscriminate killing and you wanted to dispose of the body without being discovered, you could just throw it into a lake or find a place in the forest.
Buried.
The murderer did this because he wanted everyone present to discover Soichi Kurata's body, because he knew that everyone would have breakfast here tomorrow morning, so this method was perfect.
"Humph, when I went for the interview, I saw a corpse whose face was chopped to pieces by Jason with an axe. It was exactly the same as Kurata's corpse today, so I'm sure it was Jason who did it!" Yosuke Itsuki put his hands on his waist.
He didn't want to let his eyes linger on the body. Although he had a venomous mouth and was a bit of a prodigal, he would not feel comfortable seeing the body.
Fujiwara Yu took out the white dust-free gloves he had prepared long ago from his pocket, approached Kurata Souichi's body alone, and leaned down to check the wounds on the body's face. From the depth and cut surface of the wounds, it was easy to tell that they were caused by an axe, but he didn't know
Why does he always feel that the murderer is not just venting his anger?
"Hey...how dare you get close to such a corpse? You must be..."
When he heard someone questioning his identity, Fujiwara Yu took out the police officer ID he carried with him from the inner pocket of his suit, showed his ID without looking back and said:
"I am a detective from the Osaka Police Headquarters Investigation Section 1. Do you have any other questions?"
"Police? You are actually a police officer?!"
The expressions of many people present changed after learning about Takaji Sosuke's true occupation. Miyano Akemi, who was keen in thinking, quickly noticed that the atmosphere at the scene had become strange. What was going on? She knew that Fujiwara-kun was a police officer.
Shouldn't you be happy?
"Are you...are you kidding?! This kind of murderer is around here. Why don't you think of a way to call the police and take us out quickly?" Saburo Koyama frowned and looked at Sosuke Takaji who was still inspecting the body, covering his mouth and nose.
Go to him and shout loudly: "Hey! Aren't you a policeman? Why don't you think of a solution quickly!"
"It's useless. The suspension bridge leading to the outside world was burned down last night, and the mobile phone signal has been cut off. It's impossible for the murderer to do this without destroying the landline phone in the hall!" Hattori Heiji was very dissatisfied with this man's treatment of Takashi.
Brother Si's attitude and tone are inevitably a bit harsh.
"What?! Then aren't we trapped here by a murderer?!" Xiangshan Saburo's face turned pale. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. He didn't want to die in a place like this.
Fujiwara Yu pulled out the light yellow tablecloth that was pressed under the body, and covered it with a few heavy stones. At this stage, the conditions are limited, even if useful DNA data is extracted, it will be useless.
All it takes is waiting.
He took off his gloves and looked at Saburo Xiangshan and the others who were talking about something and were about to take action, and scolded him in a cold voice:
"Are you planning to stage a chaotic show in front of the murderer? There is only one murderer, and as long as you don't fall alone, there will be no next victim. Just survive these few days, and the travel agency's bus will arrive in five days
We will park in the parking lot, and if no one returns, we will find a way to contact the rescue team. The most important thing at this stage is - calm down, don't leave yourself alone to create opportunities for the murderer, just go back to the lobby if you understand, and bother Mr. Kujo to prepare again.
Some meals.”
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Everyone gradually calmed down and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Takaji Sousuke said. There were so many of them, so as long as they didn't leave alone, there would be no problem. But after hearing the last sentence, most people felt that they had no appetite.
