Hasebeya is a small shop that specializes in buying local specialty snacks such as Tibetan horses, carp flower yaki. However, it has been 30 years since Naochi Hasebe, the first owner of Hasebeya, opened the store. Although carp flowers are made in the shape of carp made from flour, sugar, milk and baking soda, they are very popular with the common people of Tibetan horses, especially girls.

The current owner of Hasebe is Hasebe Yasuharu, the grandson of Naoichi Hasebe and the third owner. Although his koiyaki is not much better than the carp grill in other shops, the carp grill here is very clean. Hasebe Yasuharuka is a very clean person, in modern parlance, that is, there is a cleanliness habit, a very serious cleanliness habit.

The curtain sounded a flower, and a customer walked in. When Hasebe Yasuharu was about to greet him with a smile and politeness, he suddenly saw a girl holding a kitten. So Hasebe Yasuharu's face immediately fell, and he pointed to a sign outside his door, asking the guest to watch it.

All pets are not allowed!

The girl held the kitten and read it carefully word by word, and then looked at Hasebe Yasuharu pleadingly, "Xiaobai is very, very well-behaved, it will definitely not make trouble!"

Hasebe Yasuharu shook his head coldly, and the girl had no choice but to hold the kitten and leave apologetically. This caused an elderly man who was shopping in a small shop to sigh and persuade.

Changchun, "An Chun, isn't that too much, I remember that the original Hasebe House didn't have such a rule." And historically, cats have represented wealth. It's not an auspicious act for you to kick them out like this!"

Hasebe Yasuharu did not answer, as if he was tired of hearing this kind of persuasion. Just left the counter, took the wiping cloth, and carefully wiped the places that the girl had touched one by one. This cleaning was carried out until the outside of the store, and then Hasebe Yasuharu was stunned again, because a small yellow baba of a small dog was freshly appearing near the entrance of the small store. When Hasebe Yasuharu looked up, he happened to see a happy yellow stray puppy disappearing into the corner of the street.

When did this place have stray dogs again!

Hasebe Yasuharu held the right hand of the cloth and involuntarily held it tightly. At this time, another regular customer came to the door of the shop, and Hasebe Yasuharu immediately changed into a real smile, "Welcome!"

Regular customer, "Is there any red bean carp grilled that just came out today?"

Yasuharu Hasebe, "Yes. Are you looking for a bag to take with you?"

Regulars, "Eat here!2 carp grilled, a cup of barley tea." ”

Hasebe Yasuharu smiled, "Okay, please wait!"

When Hasebe Yasuharu was preparing, the regular customer had already consciously sat down at one of the only two small round tables in the store, sat down casually, casually opened the newspaper he had brought with him, and leisurely read the contents of the newspaper he was interested in, "Tachibana High School Serial Ghost Murder Incident! Isn't Tachibana High School the famous school not far from here?" Shopkeeper, have you heard of this evil ghost murder incident?"

Hasebe Yasuharu, who was working, stagnated slightly, and replied mechanically, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it." ”

The regular customer immediately became excited, "I have heard of this incident! This is a terrible and mysterious incident that has lasted for 10 years! Even this year, in April, there was a suicide of a female high school student jumping into a lake. What was that suicidal high school girl called?"

The regular customer searched for the newspaper at hand, and soon found what he was looking for, "It's Ayumi!

A small conference room belonging to the Tibetan and Horse Police Headquarters, although the main seat in the conference room, Chenggong Kuangui, had already sat down, and the two rows of middle-level senior officials of the police headquarters on both sides were still standing upright, without the slightest dare to sit down.

In front of everyone, at the hand of Narimiya Kuangui, the assistant belonging to the minister of Narimiya was holding high the newspaper brought back by Narumiya Kuangui and reading it aloud. As a newspaper news report, there is not much content. In less than a few minutes, this intensive listening activity has ended. The content of this article is also very simple, that is, to explain the four suicide deaths of female high school students that have occurred continuously in the past 10 years at Tachibana High School in a very objective and neutral manner. Of course, the individuals and families of the four female high school students, as well as the impact of the incident on the four different families, were objectively and fairly reported.

Due to his high sensitivity to political events, Kanki Narimiya believes that this will be the unfolding of a story that is no less than the story of the Yuboys Mishima incident at Tachibana High School. If your guess is correct, then someone must have been shot and injured in this incident. These four incidents happened to occur when he was the head of the Tibetan and Ma Police Headquarters, which had to make Minister Chenggong extremely vigilant.

With a snap, a stack of newspapers was thrown onto the conference table in the middle of the crowd by Cheng Gong Kuangui, and a very clever skill made the newspaper front, and the volume of reports that Minister Cheng Gong wanted everyone to see was presented in front of everyone.

Minister Narimiya, "Tachibana High School's serial ghost murder incident! What an exciting name! Now, we all have a full understanding of the contents of this report. So, can any of you tell me what this is going on for a while? Tell me what you think about this event. ”

Cheng Gong Kuangui looked around, and no one took the initiative to stand up and answer. If there really was a choice, every official who was reprimanded in the room must not want to answer Minister Chengmiya's question. But silence will not solve anything. Narimiya's gaze shifted, and finally fixed on one of the officials, who was none other than a deputy head of the Tibetan Horse Police Headquarters. So the deputy minister had no choice but to stand up.

"Yes, Minister, I think it's just a very common news hype incident, as a situation where the media doesn't have a new, sensational news event to hype up and raise the topic. It is also a very common behavior to re-take out the very chewy events that have happened in the past and stir up the events. I think the current situation of our Tibetan and Ma police headquarters is easy to be quiet and difficult to move. At this time, many other news outlets are waiting for our reaction to this incident and are waiting for an opportunity. We can't be left to them to find weaknesses that we can exploit. ”

Minister Narimiya didn't speak, as if he was thinking seriously. After a while, his eyes shifted from the deputy minister to the head of the Public Relations Division. The official immediately spoke consciously.

Section Leader, "The suicide of consecutive female high school students at Tachibana High School is not new news. Many people in the city know it, and many media have reported it to a greater or lesser extent. Judging from past experience, only with correct guidance and proper handling, the final direction of the topic will enter the learning pressure of high school students and the psychological quality of the younger generation. The accusations against the Tibetan and Ma police headquarters are generally non-existent. ”

……

A public relations class that deals with the news media as a professional and competent supervisor. After the section chief issued a statement, the next few times Minister Chengmiya spoke by name, all of which echoed and resembled the above arguments.

Narimiya's brows were furrowed, and his fingers slid over the subtitle of this report, "Episode 1: 4 Flower Season Girls with Folded Wings". It always feels like events shouldn't be that simple. It would be nice if we could get the news project of "Morning News and Hidden Horses" this time. Will this be a hype event on the topic of students' educational pressure and the future psychological quality of the country?

Narimiya Kuangui rubbed his brows, feeling that the head of the police headquarters was really a villain's hard work for a few years less!

Minister Narimiya looked at the head of the Public Relations Division, "Can you get a news plan for the incident of "Asami Zangma", or can you find out what they want to do?"

The section chief shook his head bitterly, "Yes, Minister! But because of the National Press Freedom Protection Act, we don't have any power to interfere with their press operations, and news hype like this is clearly a serial event. Every news media is their biggest trade secret, and they will not disclose it to any outsiders. ……”

The answer of the head of the public relations section was basically the same as the judgment of Minister Narimiya, and Narimiya Kangui thought about it and set his eyes on Kohinata Fumiyo, the head of the search section. "What's your idea? These four deaths of a high school student in Tachibana, who were all judged to be suicides by our police headquarters, were they suicides, homicides, or serial murders?"

Everyone's eyes were immediately all at this time, and the head of the search section was named by the minister of the palace.

Xiao Hinata walked out of the crowd, stood up straight solemnly, and bowed deeply, "Answer the minister! The first section of the search section brings together many elites of torture, investigation, search, and forensic medicine in the Zangma Prefecture Police Headquarters, with many years of experience and history, and is the leading city-level criminal investigation department specializing in death in China, with a detection rate of 99 percent ......."

"......Smack!" Cheng Gong Kuangui slammed his palm on the table, his voice full of unhappiness, "What I asked is whether these four cases were accidental suicides! Is there any problem with us closing the case? ”

The whole body trembled, and Hinata Fumiyo stood up straighter, "Yes, minister! Take the recent suicide of a beautiful high school student in Ayuki as an example, although we did not find a suicide declaration expressing the deceased's intention to commit suicide, but from the scene, we extracted video footage from 2 surveillance sites in the school and 4 surveillance sites outside the school, all of which clearly showed that the deceased completed the suicide act alone without any assistance or threat. The previous 3 suicides of Tachibana female high school students are basically the same as this one. Although there is no suicide declaration, it is very common for suicide to be suicidal and not have a suicide declaration. The reason why several incidents are highly similar is that psychologically speaking, it is also very common for suicidal people to learn and repeat the suicides of their predecessors. In addition, the deceased were all female high school students at Tachibana High School, so it is very normal for the school to hear about the famous suicide stories in the school and repeat the suicide when you are in a bad mood. This situation occurs many times in various parts of the world, and it is also a psychosocial phenomenon confirmed by many scientific and psychological institutions. ”

Minister Cheng Gong was silent in the conference room for a long time, and at the same time, all the participants were silent, not even the slightest small movement occurred, as if they were wooden people one by one. After thinking for a long time, Minister Chenggong finally stood up.

"I don't care what my previous judgment was! I ask that a special team be organized immediately to reorganize the four incidents, and strive to be serious, careful, and without omissions. Externally, I ask all personnel to keep this re-investigation operation highly confidential, so that no media will know about our re-investigation. To the media, I ask all personnel to remain silent, not to make any explanations or evaluations, and to reduce mistakes until the incident is clear. The Public Relations Division is responsible for media communication and management to ensure a positive and lofty traditional image of the Tibetan and Ma Police Headquarters in the hearts of the public!"

Everyone stood upright in unison and bowed together, "Yes, Minister!"

In Principal Izumi's office, on a wooden sofa that has been many years old, Seiji Izumi is quietly, calmly, and contemplatively looking at the resources in his hand, a news proposal.

On the opposite side of Izumi Seiji, Miyako Kazama sits quietly like a quiet flower. In the middle of the two, a copy of "Morning News and Hidden Horses", which was just published today, is placed in the center of the two of them, and the photo showing the gate of Tachibana High School and the 11 large characters are also facing upward.

Because it was the time of the school holidays, the whole school did not have the laughter of countless students, nor did it have the usual rigor and harmony. Except for a few teachers and school workers, there was no one in the whole school. Izumi Seiji quietly looked at the news plan about the "Tachibana High School Serial Ghost Murder Incident" in "Asamon Kurama", without a trace of expression.

Little by little, time passed. Izumi Seiji finished reading the news plan book provided by Miyako Kazama, which was a completely hand-bound document. This also shows that this is not a widely known document. Izumi Sakai closed the news plan and put it back in front of Miyako Kazama seriously, neatly, and uprightly.

Izumi Seiji took off the reading glasses from his eyes and put them in the copper glasses case he carried with him, "Thank you, Miss Miyako Kazama!

Miyako Kazama didn't make any moves, just smiled at the principal of Tachibana High School in front of her, who had called her to find out about the incident. The incident has already begun, and although it would be better to have the support of Tachibana High School, even if Tachibana High School stands up to stop it now, it is impossible to change it. So with a sincere attitude and the expectation of the best result, Miyako Kazama still appeared here. Appeared in front of Seiji Izumi and brought him the latest edition of the event news plan.

Miyako Kazama looked at Principal Izumi with a smile, "I don't know, is there anything you need to explain to Principal Izumi?"

Principal Izumi smiled lovingly, "No need!

Miyako Kazama showed a puzzled expression, and Principal Izumi thought for a moment and continued, "Tachibana High School is a school that has been established for more than 200 years, and it is still a very high-quality school. She is like an old man of more than 200 years, and there is no event that she has not experienced. Although Tachibana High School has experienced several bad news effects this year, it is really nothing to Tachibana High School. As long as Tachibana High School adheres to its own school philosophy and spirit, she will always be high-quality and full of energy. ”

The old man smiled confidently, "So what kind of serial events affect the school? What star students improve the school's image! It can be said that they are all important, or it can be said that they are not interesting at all." You must be curious about why I asked you to come here?"

Miyako Kazama, "Yes, Headmaster!"

The old man lovingly picked up the newspaper on the coffee table and showed the photos of the four victimized high school girls on one page of the newspaper to Miyako Kazama, "I'm just curious. They are all high-quality students at Tachibana High School, and I am very impressed by each and every one of them. According to my life experience, if it were not for this accident, they would all have their own bright future and make their own contribution to the country. But now they are just cold pictures and names that are synonymous with pitiful and terrible in other people's mouths. Now that you have fully activated this news incident, then according to the previous agreement between the two parties, I believe you have also found the real answer to these terrible incidents. I'm curious about this answer. So I ask you to come here, in fact, I want to find out the truth of the matter, to understand the real content of the matter, to understand who so brutally killed 4 lovely and wonderful students. Such people are really vicious!"

The old man's emotions were a little excited, and Miyako Kazama on the opposite side hurriedly poured him a glass. The old man took the cup and took a small sip of water obediently. The cup was put back on the table, and the old man continued with the topic just now, "So thank you very much!"

Miyako Kazama said modestly, "This is mainly due to Du Ping's classmates!"

The old man smiled sincerely and lovingly, "Yes! ”

In a barren and backward corner of the city, a former housewife, now a divorced lady, and the mother of Mana Kiriki, Kenko Nakamoto has just gotten off work. After a tiring night, she was walking on her way back to her rented apartment, and the thought in her heart was just to go back to rest and sleep quickly. Passing by a street newsstand, a row of head-to-head news photos appeared in front of her eyes. Without thinking much about it, she had already passed by as she walked in a hurry.

More than ten meters later, Ms. Nakamoto suddenly stopped, as if she realized something. I hurriedly returned to the newsstand just now, and picked up the newspaper that I didn't care about just now. A line of eye-catching big characters: Tachibana High School's serial ghost murder incident appeared in her eyes. didn't look too much, read it quickly, and soon she found the one that belonged to her daughter from the paper photo on the next page. Fingers caressed the photo, tears welling up in their eyes.

The woman found herself whispering, "Hello, daughter! They still remember you! They still remember you! Your unjust death is still remembered!"
