May 9, one o'clock in the morning

"How many of these are these this month?" Someone next to him asked himself

"Third, don't reveal the old rules," he lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "Once the people make a fuss, it's not easy to clean up the mess, and the most important thing in handling a case is intelligence and secrecy."

"Inspector, you're always so succinct and clear," a colleague gave a thumbs up

"The most important thing now is to solve the case, not to say some flattering words, to do things according to the rules, more than three of the same cases are set to the fourth level of red, I won't come to work in the next few days" He waved his hand and left in a dashing manner, "Sue the director, I won't be able to come back in three days to continue to take office"

"The Ombudsman is really cool!"

"Ahhh~ If I hadn't had a fiancée, I would really love him to death!" The officers of the Fourth Public Security Division indulged in his handsome chic

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line in case handling

"So I'm going to shamelessly come to you again~~~Tinker Bell~~~" This monkey who is sitting on his leather sofa with a dead face and half kneeling is the "chic" inspector mentioned above

"Aren't you a dog, and do you think I have a four-dimensional pocket?" Chong looked coldly at a dignified inspector in front of him, "As the one who eats the most among the policemen who eat dry food, are you a little human, okay?"

"Where can I compare with you, please be sure to do me this favor, I have already boasted to Zhu She in Haikou~" The middle-aged man in front of him was still pleading with himself without dignity

"How much strength I have done behind your back, you can calculate it yourself," I can't help but kick it over, "The trump card of the original criminal class can't even solve an ordinary murder case, waste!" ”

"The systems that the two sides have to go through are different.,Anyway, please be sure to help me" Okay,Let me introduce.,This person who looks like an iron-blooded real man is called Cunning Shinya.,Three years ago, after retiring from the "inside" layer, he became a supervisor.,Usually specialize in solving some weird cases.,Like a Japanese detective named Maori.,He completely relies on himself as an umbrella.,The only difference is that he hasn't been shot with an anesthetic needle.,At the same time, I don't have a beautiful daughter.,Because I usually use acupuncture bullets., It is impossible for him to be a man anymore with a stitch

"What are you going to pay me this time?" Chong said helplessly after a moment of silence

"Confidential text jiàn B44-B58"

"Deal" They have always maintained a tacit understanding between the two of them, he is responsible for solving the case for him, and he uses his authority to lend him some ulterior information in the police to read, this is his acquaintance, each of them has a strong network or connections, this kind of person has always been the one he will take the initiative to win over, and he doesn't need to think much about speaking in front of them

-- However, there is one thing I don't understand, do these people have different problems after retiring or changing jobs? After Zhou Fangzun didn't be a big brother, he took his own Lori to travel around the world every day, and from time to time he also sent a few postcards and photos to mock himself, and then after he hacked his bank account, he was so angry that he screamed all night, and when he killed the heretics, he knelt down and called his father, and he was also the "pulley strangler" Wen Zhuo in the Fan Zhuo clan (Ventrue) of the Thirteen Clans. Alcatel, the blood hunter of the direct bloodline of the moon, put down the sword and went to the circus to be the leader of the flying knife show, and every year when he came to visit, the knife must come first and the next person did not arrive, the reason is that he is struggling with whether it is better to fly directly or fly over every year, and this IQ is estimated to have reached the level of three years old

"Is it murderous to skin and kill" Chong took the other party's Supervisor Handbook and looked through it a few times, and pondered, "Every case occurs at 1~2 o'clock in the morning, the time is the 5th, 7th, and 9th, there is no blood at the scene, the victim will often go through more than ten minutes of pain and suffering after being skinned before he dies, and the murderer is fatal every time, that's all?" ”

"Well, this case is very neatly done, unlike those inexperienced weirdos before, this guy must be a veteran of the Tao" nodded slyly and solemnly, "How about it?" Is there anything you can get out of that? ”

"First: Assuming that the murderer is a monster, it is likely that his type is a fox or a dog demon, because only they will be interested in human skin and have the ability to kill with one hit, and second: the other party is using a knife" Chong Ban narrowed his eyes "and it is a big knife"

"You say, am I going to catch Inuyasha or his brother Seshomaru?"

"You go and wait to be made into a leather coat" Chong glared at him coldly, "What about the forensic examination, show it to me"

"It's wrong here," Chong looked at it a few times, then pointed to a place and said, "The murderer didn't use a steel knife, it was a bamboo knife."

"Why is it a bamboo knife, if you want to peel it, steel is much faster than bamboo," Cunning Shen also asked after thinking for a moment

"You think it takes speed to kill with a single sword?" Chong didn't despise him anymore, because he also became a little interested in this case, "The reason why I say bamboo knives is because the bamboo knife blade is fast and sharp, and the victim's death after more than ten minutes proves that the murder weapon cannot be steel, there are stains on the iron, and it will corrode the victim's flesh and bones after cutting it with blood, the bamboo knife is a natural weapon, as long as it does not hurt the flesh and blood, it can make people survive for a long time, and the most important thing is that the murder is silent, and the victim is killed in the downtown but it is difficult to even scream, The bamboo knife is the lightest, so they will lose their skin before they feel anything."

"But there's another possibility," said Cunning, who glanced at him

"Do rangers kill people, but Japan has been very strict with these people in recent years, and it is possible to raise knives or vent anger," Chong pondered

"Humph! Those who are uncomfortable are better not to mess around, or they will use their own blood to help raise the knife," said Cunning Shen also coldly

"No, although it is said that if you raise a knife, it will be normal if there is no blood stains on the scene, but the identification report says that the blood in the victim's body disappeared instantly, and no matter what the magic knife is, it is impossible to drink all the blood in the human body in one go" Chong shook his head, "Assuming that the target is still on the fox demon and the dog monster, it is better"

"Okay, then I'll bother" After putting things away, he got up and said goodbye, "Thank you~"

"It's just a transaction," Chong said lightly, "don't send it"

"By the way, there is a guy named Araragiri in your school, right?" Cunning Shen also asked suddenly

"Right for what?"

"Take a chance to remind him, don't get too close to something strange" Cunning also closed the door "You know, the affairs of the weird don't need ordinary people to meddle, unless he is also a part of it"

"I see" Chong turned off the headlights in the living room, and then remained motionless in the pitch darkness with his eyes open

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of murder

It had been two days since Cunning Shen came to visit him, and at twelve o'clock that night he walked out of the door and turned into the alley of the city

I flipped through my phone and looked at the time, and I was able to see that everyone's faces were illuminated very clearly under the bustling lights of Tokyo at night

“！” Just as he was about to step forward, he saw a very strange figure in front of him, the whole body was covered by a white leather coat, wearing a straw hat on his head, a bamboo knife pinned to his waist, and the most strange thing was that he had eight fox tails that kept shaking behind his back

(Kitsune?) Something was wrong, he couldn't feel anything on him, he was more like a dead corpse than a youkai

"Haha" The other party suddenly turned his head to look at him, and then a strange laugh came out of his mouth

"Want to get me into a fight?" sneered in his heart, even if it was really a fox, it was only eight tails, and besides, this was Tokyo, as long as it was delayed for more than a minute, no less than three onmyoji would come and remove him into slag

"Hehe" but the other party just laughed a few times and then disappeared on the other side of the street, and it seemed that he had no intention of continuing to make trouble

"Ah!!!h As soon as he came back to his senses, he heard a woman's scream in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, a person was already lying on the ground, lying on the ground with no skin and convulsions

"Turned around and left the scene, this time I can see the other party's appearance directly is also a big gain, when I get in the morning, go to the library to check."

Six hours later

"A male fox with eight tails and trying to get one back?" The woman shook her head when she heard his description, "No, we have never had a record of this kind of monster here, but there is one similar to him."

"Let's talk about it in general"

"It is a famous story in the Meiji period, the merchant picked up a fox's tail while passing through the woods, and in the next seven days he picked up seven more tails and made them into a beautiful leather coat, and the princess fell in love with the dress and wanted to buy it at a high price, but because there was still a hair ring missing, the merchant planned to cut off the fox's ninth tail, and after he got the props from an old onmyoji, he went to the woods that night to draw a fox. Then when it fell asleep because of drinking a strange potion, it raised its knife and cut off its ninth tail, but at the end of this story, it is actually written that the merchant has become a generation of rich businessmen, and the author thinks this is a fairy tale?! ”

"Can you find this book?"

"Well, I'll go to the warehouse and find it for you, because the ending is weird, so I roughly remember the location"

"I'm sorry for you," Chong said, and walked out of the small shop, which from the outside looked like an old bookstore

(It is more likely that it is true because of the strange ending) The original horror story ended like a fairy tale, so it is very likely that the "follow-up" that is not recorded in the book is the real horror and blood

(The fox who cut off the last tail and the businessman who wants the last tail are a bit interesting) What I like most is the contradiction, because there must be a balance in the middle of the contradiction, and that will be the answer to the event
