Koizumi Hongzi's face changed slightly, then she took the scroll from Shu Yunwen's hand, spread it out and looked at the content on it:
"Since the runes are the same, it means that this is indeed the same Vulcan Sacrifice Technique..."
Shu Yunwen nodded, and Koizumi Hongzi immediately stood up, put away the scroll in his hand, and asked: "Classmate Yunwen, where is the fire place? Can you take me to see it?"
"Of course!~" Shu Yunwen responded, then stood up, looked at Loli Ai who was reading next to her, gently stroked Loli Ai's cat head, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, Haiyuan! I'll read the book later. Taking a walk after eating is good for your health~"
Meow? Meow you woolly thing! Meow!
Loli'ai, who was obsessed with studying and couldn't help herself, raised her head, avoided Shu Yunwen's evil hand, and said with an indifferent face:
"Sorry, I don't want to go. You can go on your own. I'll just read here and wait for you."
"Well……"
You solitary loli! I’m telling you, you won’t have any friends like this!
Shu Yunwen curled his lips and was too lazy to persuade her. He called Kimijima Kana and accompanied Koizumi Anko to the nearby fire scene.
As soon as Shu Yunwen and Koizumi Hongzi left, Loli Ai immediately closed the book in her hand, took out a small mirror from her small bag, and arranged her hair while looking in the mirror.
Not long after, Loli held five or six hairs that were black at the top and dark brown at the bottom in her hand. Loli's face was full of hopelessness:
"...My hair fell out again. I lost twenty strands today. Is it because of hair dyeing or overuse of my brain..."
Loli Ai looked up at the sky, thinking and calculating at the same time——
There are almost 100,000 hairs on the human head, and she is losing 20 strands a day. At this rate, she will feel hair thinning in one year at most, become bald in five years, become an Aliai in ten years, and become completely bald in thirteen years.
Not a hair is left...
Loli'ai imagined her bald appearance, shuddered all over, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice——
By the way, she is losing hair every day now, and that abominable exorcist actually rubs her head... Does that guy know that rubbing her head all the time will make her hair fall faster?
Loli Ai looked in the mirror again, then put away the mirror, placed a biology magazine on the table, put her head on the magazine, and looked out the window melancholy, like a useless cat:
"...I'm bald...I can't live anymore..."
…
At 8:10, Xifushan, fire scene.
Shu Yunwen, Koizumi Anko, and Kimijima Kana once again stood at the place where the runes were written. Koizumi Anko used magic power in her hands and rekindled the runes in front of them, comparing them with the runes in the scroll:
"...Sure enough, the runes here are exactly the same as the fourth rune in the scroll! And...this residual flame power is the Vulcan Stone, right?"
"That's right! These runes were definitely written with the Vulcan Stone!" Shu Yunwen nodded seriously, then squatted next to Koizumi Hongzi and whispered, "Koizumi-kun, didn't you say before that between you and Kaito?
Has anyone ever entered that stone chamber before? I always feel that this arsonist may have something to do with that stone chamber..."
"Hmm..." Koizumi Hongzi pondered, and then asked, "When did the first fire in the serial arson case occur?"
"Yes, it was ten days ago!" Kimijima Kana replied immediately, "...I specifically checked the newspaper. The first incident was ten days ago, the second incident was last Saturday, and the third incident was this Monday.
,The fourth incident was last night..."
"Ten days ago?" Koizumi Anko frowned, "... Kaito and I went to the stone chamber last week. At least from a time perspective, what Yunwen said is indeed possible... However, if
If the arsonist and the person who went to the stone chamber are the same person, where did he get the Vulcan Sacrifice Technique? I found the Vulcan Sacrifice Technique in the mechanism under the floor..."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yunwen guessed: "...there are two possibilities! One is that there was a copy of the Fire God Sacrifice Technique on the surface in the stone chamber at that time, and the other possibility is that he found the Fire God Sacrifice Technique from someone else...
But these are not important, the important thing is that we have to find him first!"
"Well, that's right. That guy can't be allowed to continue the fire sacrifice any longer!"
Koizumi Hongzi nodded, then stood up and looked at the burning runes on the ground: "...Yunwen, I plan to go to that stone room to check again to see if there are any clues. You can take it."
What are your plans for coming down?"
Shu Yunwen thought for a while and said with a smile: "...I plan to find out the situation from the police first and see if there are any clues from the police..."
"The police?" Koizumi Hongzi was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, "...that's right, there have been four fire festivals, and the police may find something. Yunwen, you have a good relationship with the police. This case
It would be best for you to do the work..."
As Koizumi Hongzi spoke, she raised her hand to look at her watch, bowed slightly and said, "Classmate Yunwen, I'll leave it to you to negotiate with the police!"
"Okay." Shu Yunwen nodded.
After the two said goodbye, Koizumi Anko flew into the air on a broomstick. Kimijima Kana glanced at the night sky with envy, and then looked at Shu Yunwen and said: "Teacher, what should we do next?"
"Next!" Shu Yunwen squinted his eyes, thinking of a person in his mind, "...Of course, I'll ask the police about the situation first!"
As Shu Yunwen spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
…
8:20 p.m.
A certain alley near Yotsuya Station.
Three fire trucks were parked on the roadside, surrounded by crowds of onlookers.
The alley was filled with flames, and the surrounding air was extremely hot. The firefighters used sprinklers to put out the fire.
Suddenly, the sirens of police cars were heard on the road, and then a series of police cars stopped on the roadside. Officer Yumaga from the Fire Investigation Department, Shiratori Rensaburo from the Search Section 1, Takagi Wataru and others got out of the car one after another and watched.
The sky in front of me was burning red. I cursed "Damn it" in my heart, and then squeezed towards the crowd.
Shiratiao, Gongchang and others quickly squeezed into the alley, walked directly to the person in charge of the scene, and showed the police ID in their hands:
"...Hello, we are the police from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. Can you please tell us about the situation here?"
"Uh...Okay." The person in charge at the scene nodded, "...We first received the fire call at 7:58, and arrived at the scene at 8:05. By that time, the fire had already
The fire was huge! Then, when we were extinguishing the fire, we discovered piles of animal carcasses. We immediately thought of the recent serial arson cases, so we immediately contacted the Metropolitan Police..."
"Hmm...did you only see animal corpses?" Shiratori Rensaburo asked, "...have you found human corpses?"
"This... not yet." The person in charge scratched his head and replied. Shiratiao was about to ask again, but suddenly the mobile phone rang.
Shiratiao was stunned for a moment, apologized, walked aside, took out his mobile phone and answered the call:
"Hello, I am Shiratiao from the Metropolitan Police Department. Who are you?"
As soon as Officer Bainiao finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the opposite side: "Hello, Officer Bainiao, I am Shu Yunwen!"
