The person Akiko saw was completely different from the Fang Ye in her impression.

The man in her sight at this moment was dressed in a crumpled shirt, with short dull hair, a sallow skin under the blue-black circles, eyes narrowed almost into a line, and a crumbling body as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind, like an addict who had just been released from a drug rehabilitation center.

How did her friend Orihime Asagami connect this person with Fang Ye, who was at least human-looking that day?

"It's him, but looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he has suffered a lot during this time. ”

Asakami Orihime affirmed again, a pair of beautiful eyes kept falling on Fang Ye's body, her face was complicated, and her voice unconsciously became a little heavy.

In her gaze, Fang Ye, who had not seen her for a long time, was led by the staff to walk on the staff passage, holding a thick cowhide bag in both hands and walking towards the registration point step by step.

"Okay, stop looking, come back to your senses. Anyway, I'll run into it later. ”

Akiko couldn't stand it from the side, so she bumped Orihime Asagami with her elbow, called the beauty back, and said softly: "I found that Orihime, you have been looking at him strangely, you shouldn't really like him, right?"

"No," Orihime Asakami shook her head calmly, "I just admire him a little." ”

"Admire him? Let me tell you, when a woman falls in love with a man, it all starts with appreciation. ”

Qiuzi sighed, and then said solemnly: "I have to remind you that with your identity, such an ordinary person is not worthy of you at all. ”

"I understand, so I'm not liked, Akiko. ”

Orihime's eyes couldn't help blinking, but she still replied with a normal complexion.

"I think you know that in your own heart. ”

Akiko didn't see anything unusual on the beauty's face, and said with a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a loud ringing of incoming calls suddenly came from her purse.

"Sorry, I took the phone. ”

She no longer dwelled on the topic just now, took out her phone from her bag neatly, and was slightly startled when she saw the caller's name displayed on the screen, but seemed to remember something, and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Xiaofu, I didn't expect you to call so soon, could it be that the matter that asked you to help investigate is already clear?"

"Akiko, I just planned to tell you about some clues I just found, after all, Sakaki-kun is not used to using electronic communication tools, remember to tell him after you listen to me. ”

"No problem. ”

"What you asked me to investigate, I asked a private investigator to find the clue eight years ago. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll turn on the hands-free, Takao, it just so happens that Orihime is also by my side, and this matter is also related to her. ”

Noticing Orihime's curious eyes, Akiko opened her mouth to interrupt Takao's words on the other end of the phone, and at the same time pressed the hands-free button again.

"Is Orihime there too? That's just right, it's more convenient for her to talk to Sakaki-kun. ”

"Alright, you can move on, Takao. ”

"Well, Orihime, after you successfully came back before, didn't you tell Sakaki-kun that the object of the attacker Shinji Tajima was possessed by the character of Hideo Murakami's work, the murderous samurai Izo?"

"Yes, Sakaki told me that this information is very important, and at that time, I was going to immediately arrange for someone to investigate the matter of Hideo Murakami, the author of the manga "Shogunate Murder Ghost Izo", did you find any important clues there?"

As soon as Asakami Orihime heard that it was about this, she also asked with some urgency.

Sakaki-kun first asked Akiko to find out the resume of Hideo Murakami in the manga industry, and found that he debuted very early, just eight years ago, just when the sales of the single book of Master Nishiwaki Kofu's work "Drawing Knife Zhai" exceeded 100 million.

At that time, many newcomers in the manga industry were influenced by the masterpiece "Drawing Sword", and their debut works chose themes such as shogunate samurai. Among them, Hideo Murakami directly used the world view of "Drawing the Sword" to create a protagonist like the murderous samurai Izo. ”

Takao paused, "When Akiko found out this, Sakaki-kun quickly solved the two mysteries of why Shinji Tajima was not a popular cosplayer, but he could be possessed, and the object of his possession was not a character in a miracle work that we thought earlier. ”

"There is no doubt that, like the shameless plagiarists of eight years ago, Hideo Murakami is also a despicable manga artist who stole some of the power of the miracle "Drawing Knife" through fandom without the master's consent. ”

Seeing that Orihime hadn't fully understood the information, Akiko simply added on the side.

"That's right, so "Shogunate Killer Eizo" is obviously not a miracle work, but it allows the protagonist in it to get into the body of Shinji Tajima through the phenomenon of spiritual possession, and manipulate his body to kill Yuko Ando and others at that time. ”

"Wait, what about the answer to the first mystery? Since Shinji Tajima is not a popular cosplayer, how can he be possessed?"

"This problem is even simpler.,Sakaki-kun ordered someone to find the old comics from the antique store.,He flipped through the work "Shogunate Murderer Hide",The murderer in it is six points similar to Tajima Shinji himself before he hides in the demon.,He doesn't need cosplay at all.,Hideo Murakami may have drawn it with Tajima Shinji's father or his own face.,This is Tajima Shinji going to cos to hide.,It's clear that I'm born from Tajima Shinji!"

"A tailor-made role?"

"The discovery of this fact shocked us all, and after finding out that Hideo Murakami was from Tokyo, Sakaki-kun asked me to entrust a private investigator in Tokyo City to find out the whereabouts of Hideo Murakami. ”

"Because eight years ago, due to the success of "The Shogunate Murderer Izo", it didn't take long for his plagiarism to be discovered by the industry, and like those shameless guys, he was also kicked out of the manga industry and then quickly disappeared. ”

"If you hadn't come back this time to fill in this important clue, we wouldn't have found that there was such a loophole in the original spirit possession phenomenon...... This matter is very important, and after finding out the deeper inside, Sakaki-kun has to report it to Master Akiko. ”

"So he wanted to kill me, also because my mother was ruthless and even unforgiving to these plagiarists?"

Orihime Asagami sighed heavily, the catastrophe of life and death that was nine deaths for her turned out to be caused by such cause and effect?
