What woke Situ Yixiao from the nightmare was a basin of cold water, and when he woke up, he would face an even more terrifying hell.

The cold water dripping from his hair dripped into Situ Yixiao's lips, and he didn't know why it tasted a little salty, but Situ Yixiao, who had a dry mouth, still didn't let go of the water, and greedily stretched out his tongue to roll the cold water around his lips and even his lips into his mouth, moistening his burning throat.

It wasn't until he confirmed that he could no longer drink water that Situ Yixiao began to look at the person in front of him who had splashed himself up with a basin of water.

It was a tall and powerful man, his face could not be seen clearly in the night, but the moonlight made the boning knife in his hand shine.

"Who are you?" Situ Yixiao asked directly, he remembered that he had just come out of the bar, walking in the cool night breeze, and then someone walked behind him, and before he could turn around, there was a hard object on his waist, followed by a "crackling" sound, he felt a numbness in his waist, and the pain that suddenly hit his mind, and he fell asleep.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you still remember what happened to Tanabata two years ago?" the man asked rhetorically.

Situ Yixiao of course remembered that the nightmare he had just had was that incident, in which the girl did not give up her place for herself, but showed a helpless expression like everyone else, and then closed the elevator door, and he struggled in the fire to be roasted by the flames to dry the last drop of water in his body.

"Are you that girl's ......?" Situ asked tentatively.

Later, I did hear that at the time of the fire, the girl's boyfriend was outside the fire, calling the girl's name miserably.

"Lai Laizi is my most important person, so you have to die. The man raised the sharp knife in his hand.

Anyway, my life was given to me by that girl, and since his relatives have come to collect the debt, there is no way to do it. Thinking of this, Situ smiled and showed a calm expression, ready to accept his fate.

The sharp knife that was about to stab him in the chest stopped, "Why aren't you afraid?" the man asked, "Why don't you resist?"

Situ smiled and felt that judging from this person's reaction, it was too easy for him to die if he might not be able to die.

Situ Yixiao is 25 years old this year, he is a lazy and optimistic person, and he has only four hobbies in his life, eating, sleeping, writing novels and clubbing.

It's also because he has no special skills other than a sharp tooth, because he is afraid of trouble, he doesn't know anything about swimming, codes, martial arts, and other messy excuses, and the fundamental reason is that he is lazy and greedy for money, so he is unwilling to go to work and stay at home to be a second-rate mystery novelist.

How lazy is Situ Yixiao? That is, even if he is about to be killed now, he doesn't bother to fight, he looks like he is resigned to his fate, and even convinces himself to accept death.

Perhaps it was his appearance that he did not value the life given to him by others angered the other party, and the sharp knife in his hand gave up the original target heart, and instead stabbed the back of his hand, piercing his palm.

"Ahh

The man was not satisfied with letting him go with one knife, one after another, piercing from the wrist, forearm, elbow, all the way to the shoulder, and when the last knife pierced the heart, Situ smiled like a dying crucian carp, opening his mouth wide but not making a sound.

No, he's more of a salted fish than a crucian carp.

"If a person like you lives, you're wasting Lailaizi's life!" the man roared angrily, but Situ couldn't hear it anymore.

Seeing that Situ Yixiao had lost his breathing, the murderer's breathing became heavier, and he untied his belt tremblingly......

The next day, in Shizuoka Prefecture, Officer Yokozo Sango looked at the chaotic crime scene with a blushing face, and a small police officer next to him said to him the facts of the case: "The deceased Situ Yixiao, male, 25 years old, from Gunma Prefecture, now living in Tokyo, is a mystery novelist. “

"Mystery novelist? That must have been done by urging the reader to do it, go back and check his readers. Yokozo said without thinking about it, he didn't want to stay in this place, the red and white corpse made him sick.

"But the officer......" said the little officer after a moment's hesitation, "according to the investigation, his readers are only eight schoolchildren...... I don't think it's a reader's crime, right?"

“…… Change his profession to that of a vagrant. Yokozo Sango ordered.

"Yes!" the little officer faithfully carried out the order.

"A corpse that's broken like a rotten bag, so there's no need for an autopsy, right?" said Yokozo Sango, covering his nose in disgust.

"Uh...... That, we also found out that the deceased Situ Yixiao was still active in Tokyo before his death, and he died here suddenly. “

"It's so far to die, I guess I was picked up by my colleagues in Tokyo. Yokozo scratched the curls on his head, and guessed with dead fish eyes.

"Officer, the deceased's belt is missing, and we found a strange mahjong tile in the close place......" The little officer said with a strange expression.

"What the hell is it...... Why didn't I see Mr. Maori. "I haven't used my brain for a long time, and I have a headache.

In the days that followed, similar killings occurred across Japan, where the victim was kidnapped by the killer and taken to another location, where he was brutally killed, taking a belongings with him and leaving behind a marked mahjong tile.

Almost one day at a time, six crimes were committed in Yamanashi, Gunma, Shizuoka, Kumamoto, Nagano, Saitama Prefecture and Tokyo in a week, as for why the six cases involved seven places, it was because in the last case, the body of the deceased was in Nagano Prefecture, but the legs were stretched out to Gunma Prefecture, and the Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters saw that the matter was already so big, so they simply pulled you Gunma into the water.

In fact, Saitama Prefecture was also dragged into the water, and in two cases in Tokyo, the hometown of the deceased in one of them was from Saitama Prefecture, and Saitama Prefecture was also pulled into the water as an excuse.

At the same time, Mizuma walked out of Matsumoto's office with a depressed face.

Narita Misa's case finally turned into an unsolved case, for many reasons, one is that "a policeman was assassinated in the Metropolitan Police Department" After all, this kind of thing has a bad impact, and it is inconvenient for large-scale investigation to make too much trouble, and second, the recent serial murder case has robbed this matter a lot.

The third is also the most important, there is pressure from above.

And Mizuma Moon just went to ask about his leave, but the reason for his frustration was not only that the holiday was lost, and that the holiday was already mentally prepared, but that Matsumoto wanted to invite Mori Kogoro as a special adviser to participate in the discussion of the case for the recent mega case.

For the first time since Mizuma Tsuki's "awakening", the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department asked detectives for help.
