Chapter 351 Shikatori Town Murder Case Kitahara Yuko and Kurogiri
"elder brother--!"
As they entered the side hall, they saw a pretty girl wearing a red and white miko uniform shouting loudly, with unconcealed surprise in her voice, running towards Kitahara Ryunosuke on wooden shoes.
.
"Yuko...just be fine."
Kitahara Ryunosuke looked up and down at the girl in the miko uniform, and when he saw that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy look on his face.
"By the way, let me introduce to you. This is my sister Yuko Kitahara, the miko course teacher at Shikatori Shrine and the heir to the shrine's palace affairs."
"These three are Mr. Mikael, Ms. Yuko Aozaki and Ms. Ryogiori from the Garan Nodo Detective Agency. They are detectives entrusted by the victim's family to participate in the investigation of this case."
"I'm glad to have met you all. Brother, please take care of me."
The girl in the witch costume folded her hands in front of her belly, bowed slightly, and her posture was quite upright and polite. Her long black hair was spread directly on her back, as smooth as a waterfall. She was a standard traditional beauty.
Without too many pleasantries, Mikael and his party entered the side hall where the girls lived and looked at this ancient building with hundreds of years of history.
Although it has been renovated many times, you can still see the stains that have been washed away by time in some places. The entire building has only one main entrance for entry and exit, and there is also a watchman on duty at night, but the three girls came out of this building inexplicably.
disappeared.
"Miss Kitahara, didn't you notice anything unusual last night?"
After checking the side hall, they returned to the door, and Mikael asked casually.
"Sorry...I didn't find anything unusual."
Kitahara Yuko shook her head. The other police officers had already asked this question once, but facing Mikael, she still patiently recounted what happened, with a dark look on her face.
"Last night it was a routine walk around the town with lanterns to pray, and then we returned to the shrine to wash up briefly and then rested. Everyone was also present at the roll call before going to bed, but early this morning, we found that three people were missing, and then
I discovered something so cruel.”
Mikael listened to her story in silence, and just looked at her body up and down. Finally, he narrowed his eyes slightly and landed directly on her breasts.
"Hey, where are you looking?"
Zhi stabbed Mikael fiercely. This kind of staring behavior was really impolite, and he was still looking at that evil part. There was nothing good to see there, wasn't it just two lumps of fat?
Mikael smiled and did not answer Zori directly. Instead, he turned to look in the direction of Aozaki Orange, as if he had a clear understanding, and Orange just turned his head to look at Mikael.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, showing "I see" expressions.
Zhi is getting more and more irritable. This kind of behavior of playing riddles is really annoying, but she still doesn't understand the one who solves the riddles. It's obvious that Mikael and Chengzi have discovered some important clues, so she looks like
Like a fool.
"Miss Kitahara, please forgive me for being rude, I just found something interesting."
Mikael nodded, then changed the subject,
"Then could you please Miss Kitahara to call out the other girls? I want to confirm my guess from them."
After taking a quick look at the other girls, he kept one of them.
"If it goes as expected, the murderer's next target should be you two."
Mikael pointed at Kitahara Yuko and the other girl he chose to stay and said.
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, except of course Aozaki Orange.
"I believe that Mr. Mikael's professionalism as a detective means that such a judgment is not groundless. So I would like to ask what is the basis for such an inference?"
The girl who was left behind was briefly surprised, but she soon regained her composure. If Mikael remembered correctly, this girl's name should be Kurogiri Hana.
She also has black hair as bright as lacquer, but it is not spread down her back, but simply tied into a ponytail, showing her spirit and vitality.
Although she has a similar appearance to Kitahara Yuko, and both have the calm temperament of a student from an aristocratic school, but unlike the former's uprightness and etiquette, her eyes are arrogant, as if she wants to compete and be strong.
Even though she looks like a simple and elegant young lady, she can't hide her fortitude and looks rigorous and respectable.
………
"You can look at your right arm, about where your upper arm is, and there should be a mark there."
Aozaki Orange crossed his arms and reminded Kurogiri of flowers.
Kuroyukihime rolled up his sleeves doubtfully, and sure enough, he found a finger-sized red mark on his upper arm, similar to the shape of a cherry blossom. It was as if it was made of blood. It was coquettish and gorgeous but not dangerous.
She reached out her hand to wipe it off, but she couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried, just like a delicate tattoo.
But Kuroyuki Hana can confirm that there was no such mark on her arm before, and she didn't even notice it when she took a bath before going to bed last night.
"As for you, Miss Kitahara, you should also have such a mark on your chest."
Aozaki Orange took out an old-fashioned wooden pipe from somewhere and puffed away smoke. He did look like a detective.
After hearing this, Kitahara Ryunosuke stood up nervously, wanting to see if his sister had such a mark on her body, but he soon realized something and sat back with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Don't worry, now that we have discovered the mark, we won't let the murderer succeed."
Mikael felt the magic flow in the mark. There was no doubt that this was a kind of marking magic. Although he wiped it away with just a wave of his hand, the destruction of the magic mark would also make the strange magician alert.
"I believe in my brother and everyone."
Kitahara Yuko took the initiative to hold Kitahara Ryunosuke's arm and nodded lightly, as gracefully as a swan drinking water.
"It's okay, Yuko."
Kitahara Ryunosuke also touched his sister's head and said emphatically,
"As long as that guy dares to come here tonight and commit suicide, I will definitely bring him to justice and arrest him!"
"So is there anything we need to do?"
Kuroyukihime's dark eyebrows slightly furrowed. Compared to waiting passively, her character prefers to plan and act later, and then take the initiative to kill the murderer first.
"All we have to do is wait. I wonder if Ms. Kurogiri has ever heard of an Eastern idiom called [wait for the rabbit]? Stupid rabbits will always hit the tree by themselves."
