Chapter 350 The confusing murder case in Shikatori Town
"The murderer cleaned the crime scene very clean, leaving no clues such as fingerprints, footprints or hair, and Shikatori Shrine did not install monitoring facilities. The person who was on duty last night did not notice anything unusual."
Although more detailed information was obtained from the police, unfortunately the police found nothing. They could only speculate on the character and identity of the murderer based on the location where the inner formation was found, and determined that he was most likely a cultist or a patient with mental problems.
"What about the other girls in the miko training class?"
Mikael glanced at it for a few times, then put the information aside and asked Kitahara Ryunosuke, who was leading the way.
"We considered that the murderer might attack the remaining girls, so we adopted a shift-based protection method."
Kitahara Ryunosuke scratched his head, sighed deeply, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face,
"But you have also seen that our police resources are stretched thin and cannot be allocated at all. Having you join us is really a big help."
"Don't worry, we are professionals in dealing with murderers."
Ori stood up on tiptoes and patted Kitahara Ryunosuke on the shoulder, looking confident.
"Do you know the murderer in Guanbuzi City last year? Our firm participated in the hunt and killed him in the end."
"Oh oh oh~ I didn't expect you guys to actually participate in the famous [Kanbuzi Murderer] event. It's really awesome!"
Ryunosuke Kitahara looked at Ori with shock. After all, the serial murders that occurred in Kanfuko City last year had such a far-reaching impact. As police officers, it was difficult for them not to know about the nature and heinous nature of this case.
It's just that the Guanbuzi murder case ended with the murderer being killed, and no other information was known about it. It attracted a lot of people's attention, but after investigation, it ended without any resolution.
"If this is the case, I feel more relieved. I didn't expect that you would still have such an experience. I was really disrespectful to you before. I apologize to you again."
He bowed deeply again, which was very helpful to Zhi.
It's just that she glanced at Mikael with a slightly guilty look and rashly brought up the matter about Bai Chunlio. She probably wouldn't be cheating, after all, it was Mikael who had to deal with the aftermath of that matter.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Mikael nodded gently, making Zhi Xia feel relieved.
"Are we really going to play a detective game here?"
Aosaki Orange walked to Mikael's side, walked side by side with him, lowered his voice and spoke, then casually took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket and held it in his mouth.
Although the path of summoning the remnant soul through necromancy magic is unworkable, in the magic world, there are too many ways to figure out the cause of a person's death, and there is no need to investigate and reason like ordinary people.
"Why not? Wouldn't it be more interesting to solve the case like an ordinary detective? Not to mention..."
A sly smile appeared on Mikael's face. He stretched out his hand, took out a golden cup from his imaginary pocket, and shook it in front of Aosaki Orange.
"If we really can't catch that guy by normal means, appropriate cheating is allowed."
"what is this?"
Aozaki Orange took the golden cup, and she could feel the massive magic power contained in it. If all of it was released, it would completely burn this small town to the ground.
She looked at Mikael suspiciously, wondering if his so-called "cheating" meant destroying the entire town. This was some kind of villainous behavior that could not be tolerated.
"Have you heard of the [Holy Grail]?"
"The Holy Grail from King Arthur's legend?"
Aozaki Orange's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. Even in the magic world, the Holy Grail is a legend. It is only recorded in books, but no one has ever seen the real thing.
"of course not."
"call--"
Aozaki Orange breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mikael with a bit of complaint in his eyes.
"I thought it was really the legendary Holy Grail, but this thing is just like King Solomon's ring. It would be strange if it really appeared."
"Although this Holy Grail is just a fake, it can also do what the Holy Grail can do. It just reduces the miracle it induces by one level, but it is more than enough to make a wish and catch someone."
Mikael's voice paused, and then continued,
"In addition, I would like to add that King Solomon's ring is not a myth, but a real thing. The current Animusfia has one of the Ten Rings."
………
………
The Holy Grail incident was just a small episode. Under the leadership of Kitahara Ryunosuke, a group of them came to the side hall of Shikatori Shrine. This is where the girls spent the night. It was in this building that the three girls disappeared inexplicably.
not see.
Due to various considerations, the police did not move the girls to a safer place, but chose to dispatch police officers to guard here.
Two old police officers stood in front of the door, and the other stood in the house. They both wore pistols and looked around vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.
"Seniors, thank you for your hard work."
Kitahara Ryunosuke walked up to the old police officer and the palace secretary, bowed respectfully, and then introduced Mikael and his party to them.
"These three are detectives from the Garan Nodo Detective Agency, Mr. Mikael, Miss Aozaki Orange and Miss Ryogiori. They were entrusted by the victim's family, and the bureau also agreed that they would join this investigation.
The case is under investigation."
The veteran police officers nodded after looking at the permission documents issued by the bureau.
"Have you discovered anything, seniors? How are the other girls doing now?"
Kitahara Ryunosuke asked seriously. The results of other colleagues' investigation of tourists are far away. If he wants to catch the murderer, he can only wait for him to reveal his flaws.
"Everything is fine. Apart from you, no one else is here today. Besides, Kitahara-kun, you have a really good sister. If it weren't for her help, other girls wouldn't be able to cooperate with us so easily.
.”
"Hey hey hey, the seniors deserved the award."
Although he was modest, the smile on Kitahara Ryunosuke's face revealed his true thoughts.
"The duty for the next twelve hours will be left to you. We are responsible for patrolling outside the shrine. If a suspect is found, we will immediately initiate a notification and we will arrive as soon as possible."
One of the veteran police officers solemnly confessed that this atrocious murder had a huge impact on Shikatori Town, which wants to develop cultural tourism. Therefore, the murderer must be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible, and then the murder should be minimized.
The impact of negative events.
"Don't worry, if the murderer wants to harm other people, he will step over my body first."
Kitahara Ryunosuke straightened his back, raised his chest and vowed.
