"Tell me about the circumstances when you found this body." A police officer took notes.
Below is a young couple, they are just ordinary villagers of Konoha, not ninjas.
The girl among them turned pale with fright and could not speak. The boy, although his face was not very good, still said tremblingly: "At five o'clock in the morning, there was basically no one in the park, so
My girlfriend Liangzi and I agreed to go on a date in this park. When passing by this small pond, Liangzi said that she felt something strange in the water, something strange that she couldn't explain, but the water in this small pond was not very clear, so she couldn't see it.
It was under the bottom, so I didn’t care. Then we sat on the bench by the pond for a while, and were about to do more in-depth exercise. Suddenly Ryoko pointed at the pond and screamed. I looked back and found a body.
A very hideous corpse floated up from the bottom of the water, which was very scary. Then we hurried to the police department to report the case, and that's probably what happened."
"Well, you go back first. If there is a follow-up investigation, we will notify you. Don't leave the village recently and wait for summons at any time." After the police officer finished taking notes, he let the young couple go.
The body was also recovered, and I could tell at a glance that the deceased this time was the same as the previous two, and his identity was still an Anbu.
"Who on earth is so arrogant that he killed three Anbu in a row!" A jounin onlookers said angrily.
"Do you have a grudge against Gen? But it's not easy to kill the ANBU without leaving any trace." Another jounin said.
In this way, during the discussion, we and the corpse went to the identification department of the hospital.
The identification results came out quickly. The deceased died of drowning and suffocation. There were no other wounds and no signs of struggle.
Then the method is very obvious. After all, the deceased was an ANBU at the Jonin level. It is impossible for him to slip and fall into the water, and it is also unlikely that he was pushed into the water and drowned. He could only die from a very powerful water escape.
, such as the Water Prison Technique.
"Wind Escape, Thunder Escape, Water Escape. Three consecutive deceased people used escape techniques with different attributes. Why did the murderer do this?" I fell into thought.
It can’t be just to show off, tell us, haha, I can use the escape technique with three attributes, it’s awesome!
Obviously impossible.
Why is that? I can’t figure it out.
"Black sound, what are you thinking about?" Kakashi saw me in a daze and came over to ask me.
"I was wondering what this murderer was thinking. Why did he use a ninjutsu to kill a person, such as wind release, thunder release, and water release? What is the purpose?" I said, "The more ninjutsu you use, the more exposed you will be.
The more information he has, the more information he has, isn’t he afraid of being discovered?”
"It is normal for jounin to master two attribute changes. Although there are not many jonins in Konoha who can master three attribute changes, they are not rare either." Kakashi thought for a while and said, "This alone is really impressive.
If the murderer cannot be found, unless the murderer strikes again next time and uses fire escape or earth escape, then the range will be very small. There should be no more than ten ninjas in the entire village who can use the four attribute changes."
"Kakashi, tell me, can there be more than one murderer?" I suddenly thought of this possibility.
"I think it's unlikely. Let's not say that the target of the gang's crime is too big. The motive is also unreasonable. If a person commits a crime because he has hatred for Gen, what about a gang committing a crime? It takes so many Jonin who hate Gen.
, and it is too difficult to kill three Anbu without leaving any trace." Kakashi analyzed, "So I think it is more likely that the murderer is one person."
"Hmm..." After thinking about Kakashi's analysis carefully, I think it still makes sense.
However, I feel a little uneasy in my heart, but I can't explain why.
After taking notes and some investigations, some more people were removed from the Jonin's list of suspects, and there were still more than thirty people left, that is, those who mastered Wind Release, Thunder Release, and Water Release at the same time. Unfortunately, Kakashi and I
They are all still on the remaining suspect list.
But I'm not worried. After all, I didn't do it, so I can't be blamed in the end.
The next day, Kakashi's prediction unfortunately came true.
A burnt corpse was found on the Hokage rock wall. The deceased was still the dark part of the root. This time it was obviously caused by fire escape. As for the details, I don't need to go into details.
This time, Kakashi went drinking with Kai at night and had an alibi, thus eliminating the suspicion.
Most of the remaining people were ruled out as suspects because they didn't know how to escape with fire. In addition, some had alibi, and in the end, only four people were left.
Unfortunately, I am one of them. As for the other three people, two are members of the ANBU directly under the Hokage, and one is a member of the Roots.
This makes me feel very uncomfortable. In the eyes of the villagers, I have a very serious suspicion. Because among these four people, I am the most powerful. Coupled with the flying thunder god technique, I have to kill a few without leaving any trace.
Anbu was easy to do; secondly, Danzo and Gen and I had some issues before, so we could barely be considered to have a motive for committing the crime.
Therefore, this time I became the target of special attention. Although I was not detained, my movements were restricted and I could not leave the village. I was also monitored secretly by ANBU. It could be said that it was a disguised form of house arrest.
However, I absolutely cannot wait like this. The situation is already very clear. If the murderer uses Earth Escape to kill someone again, then I will be the only suspect. After all, I am the only one with all the attributes.
By that time, although there is no conclusive evidence, Danzo's style will definitely accuse me of the murder on unfounded charges, and it will be difficult to deal with it by then.
Conspiracy! Definitely a conspiracy! Now I finally understand, is the murderer trying to frame me?
No, I can't sit back and wait for death. I'm sure I can't find the murderer by pointing at the trash in the police department. I have to find it myself. Although I'm being monitored by the ANBU and there are countless police patrol teams in the village, I want to sneak out. I haven't found it yet.
No one can stop me.
I took out the map of Konoha and started thinking about it. (To be continued)
