Yoko Kinoshita quickly braided her fluffy curly hair, put on a baseball cap to cover it up, and changed into low-key clothes.
After dressing up, she found her wallet, put it on, and walked out of the room with the three female high school students.
Jiang Xia heard the movement of the door, looked away from a distance, and looked over.
His eyes fell on Kinoshita Yoko's simple sportswear, and he smiled: "It seems you have been prepared."
Kinoshita Yoko raised her hand to straighten her hat and raised her head proudly: "Actually, I've wanted to go out for a walk for a long time!"
Just as he was talking, the door at the corner suddenly clicked.
Someone walked out of it, accompanied by a burst of weird laughter - that burst of laughter was very recognizable. It was the skull watch bought from the United States by the poisonous prop master when he was at the shrine. In its mind
the sound made.
Several people looked around and saw the prop master walking out of the guest room at the end. As if he was in a hurry, he pressed the alarm on his watch and hurried towards the stairs. His figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the group of people.
"It seems I'm not the only one who wants to go out for a walk." Kinoshita Yoko was a little surprised, "But why do I feel that Mr. Anzai is in a hurry? It's already evening. Does he have other urgent matters?"
Mao Lilan thought of the secret she had seen with Jiang Xia in the grove of the shrine. Her eyes twitched and she whispered to Jiang Xia: "He won't threaten others again."
Jiang Xia sighed: "I hope not."
…
A few people walked downstairs while chatting. When they walked out of the door, they saw a person standing stiffly in the shadow outside the door.
Mao Lilan, who was afraid of ghosts, was startled. After a while, she recognized the person through the dim light: "Assistant lady?"
The soon-to-be newlywed assistant was startled and turned around. Her expression was very ugly, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.
Kinoshita Yoko asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Nothing." Taeko Mamegaki shook her head, not in the mood to say anything more, and hurried back to the hotel.
"Everyone is too tired today, why are you acting weird?" Yoko Kinoshita pushed the baseball cap on her head doubtfully, "Let's bring her some snacks when we come back."
A group of people walked out of the small courtyard.
Jiang Xia's eyes swept across the dim street, and his eyes paused slightly in the distance.
Then he quickly took it back as if nothing had happened, blended into Kinoshita Yoko's traveling group, and headed to a nearby convenience store.
…
A few people strolled around the convenience store for a while. Kinoshita Yoko passed by some passers-by and managed to sneak in without being recognized.
The only time there was a slight risk was when a woman thought she looked familiar and looked at her twice. But before she could recognize her, her husband suddenly approached the woman and kissed her unexpectedly.
The woman was startled and looked at her husband inexplicably, her attention suddenly drawn away.
…
“It went really well!”
Ten minutes later, Yoko Kinoshita looked at the two bulging shopping bags and left the convenience store without finishing, returning to the street.
She said happily: "If I have the chance, I will go shopping elsewhere!"
Jiang Xia helped her carry the bag: "..." Then you have to be prepared to be caught on the spot, and then be prepared to sign autographs and take photos with passers-by one by one...
There aren't many places to go shopping around, and there aren't many roads covered by street lights.
Considering safety issues, Kinoshita Yoko did not drag a few high school students around, but went straight back to the hotel.
On the way, several people passed by the shrine where they were filming in the afternoon, and suddenly heard a crisp sound - a piece of gravel fell down the steps, as if someone had accidentally kicked it.
Several people were startled and looked up.
I saw a dark figure standing in the shadow at the top of the steps. Apparently the man realized that he had disturbed passers-by, so he turned around and ran away, disappearing into the dense woods next to him in the blink of an eye.
"Why are you running?" Yuan Shan and Ye were startled at first, then the police gene quickly awakened and their eyes sternly asked, "Is it a thief?!"
As she said that, she rushed up the steps, trying to catch up with the person who escaped.
However, before she could reach the top of the steps, she saw something and screamed: "There's someone on the ground... there's someone on the ground!"
"?!"
Several other people were startled and quickly followed.
I saw a dark human figure lying on the shrine at the end of the steps.
Jiang Xia emptied the bag in her hand, took out her mobile phone and lit it up.
Looking through the light, Kinoshita Yoko recognized him: "Mr. Anzai?!"
This is the venomous prop master.
At this time, he was covered in blood and lying on the ground with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Xia took a closer look, shook his head and sighed: "Call the police."
This was said more euphemistically, but the three female high school students with rich experience, and Yoko Kinoshita, who had not seen many murders but often watched Jiang Xia-related news, understood immediately, and their hearts thumped at the same time - since Jiang Xia did not have the third
If an ambulance is mentioned for a moment, it means that the person is already dead.
"How could this happen?" Yoko Kinoshita was obviously a little frightened. "When I went out just now, he was fine..."
Jiang Xia put the shopping bag a few meters away and took a picture of the surrounding ground with his mobile phone. Next to the body, he saw a coat and hat thrown away, both belonging to the prop master. A little further away, there was a handful stained with blood.
switchblade.
"This seems to be the knife used by the crew during the afternoon filming." Jiang Xia quickly recognized it. "Either the real murderer wanted to blame the crew on the crew, so he used this knife specially, or
It's just that the murderer had an impromptu idea and couldn't find any other props, so he had to grab one nearby."
When the "crew" was mentioned, Kinoshita Yoko was inspired and tried to treat the scene in front of her as a play.
Looking at the female high school students next to her who quickly calmed down, she finally calmed down as well.
Then I discovered something.
The corpse was lying on the ground. Yoko Kinoshita looked at the right hand of the corpse and found that there were several words written in blood on it. She was startled: "Someone really would write a message next to themselves with blood before they died.
I thought those were all artistic effects..."
Jiang Xia didn't know what the deceased was thinking, so he could only say casually: "The story comes from life."
Yoko Kinoshita nodded in sudden realization, showing a little "learned" expression.
…
The bloody character on the ground is "コマイヌ", which in katakana can be written as "狛狗", which refers to the two stone lions at the entrance of the shrine.
Several girls were murmuring and discussing what this word refers to.
At this time, they suddenly heard Jiang Xia's low voice: "There seems to be someone over there."
"?!" Suzuki Sonoko was startled and asked in a low voice, "The murderer hasn't left yet?! He, he wants to silence us all?"
