Shake off the lurking, difficult blockers and throw them to the bounty monster Aoi Lei, and finally have the space to do the original thing, and there is no time to hesitate. And when the increasingly pungent blood finally turned into a "blood smell", the spirit mirror finally found the location of the incident with its feelings.

The paper man who had completed his mission had already slumped on the ground one step ahead, and was blown into the air by the breeze that the spirit mirror had brought with him, but none of that mattered. The question is the source of the disgusting bloody gas and ...... The figure that had just disappeared from view and was not too clearly visible.

It seems familiar, but I can't remember it. Judging from the distance, there is no hope of pursuit, and it is easy to fall into the rhythm of the other party just like a fool. It's better to focus on what she's doing first.

In more formal terms, it is an "event", and if it is easier to understand, it can also be said to be "murder with bad taste". Even if it can be said that the person lying on the ground has been unrecognizable, at least the parts that can no longer be seen as "faces" have been completely destroyed and messy. Maybe it's just bad fun, but I'm afraid it's more because I don't want others to find out the identity of the deceased so quickly.

The limbs were brutally amputated, but judging from the messy and random placement, it was obvious that the prisoner had not had time to take them away. It really looked like it was expected, the unknown number of people who were in the way were trying to stall for time, and their purpose seemed to be to give the prisoner who really needed to "get his hands dirty" to do what he had to do.

Obviously, they didn't get what they wanted, but that doesn't mean they didn't do it at all. Although the limb is not completely destroyed or moved. But at least the destruction of the face has been done. That's more than half of the goal. After all, whether it is a human or a demon, the face is the most convenient symbol of identity.

However, this kind of thing that is difficult for ordinary people to do is put aside the so-called "perverted maniac", then there are only monsters or machine spirits who can't blink when they do this kind of thing. The body looks like it will be found soon, and since there is no way to tow it away, then ......

Wait a minute...... It seems like. What clues remain!

……

"Yo, Spirit Mirror."

Just as the spirit mirror was completely unaffected, and she was calmly searching the unrecognizable corpse, Kwai Lei, who was a little embarrassed but still "intact", had already rushed over with her suitcase.

Judging from her empty hands, it was clear that she hadn't caught the previous youkai either.

"Wow...... It's really disgusting, why don't you feel uncomfortable at all? ”

"Why is it uncomfortable?"

A corpse is a corpse, even if it has decayed and deteriorated, there will be no essential change, if you don't search it yourself, is there any forbidden spell secret technique used to make the dead speak?

Lingjing turned his head, although his face was stained with a little blood from the excessive range of movement. "Did they run away?"

"Hmm. Almost.,Ahh Kwai Lei grumbled as she sat down on her suitcase, not at all asking for help.

"But after a while, we left together as if we had agreed on it, and then I ran with the taste."

Get up together...... Looks like there's some kind of signal. I'm afraid that signal is the departure of the youkai who destroyed the corpse.

"I didn't see the face because the black fog was so thick, but what I know for sure is that there are three of them, and of course that's all."

"Thanks for the help."

Lingjing nodded, hurried and unprepared, it was enough for Kwai Lei to know the number of people. After rummaging through the corpse one more time, Spirit Mirror pulled out a note from its pocket.

Naturally, Aoi Bud would not be interested in examining the corpse or something, but this kind of trivial thing could not stop her curiosity.

"Huh? What is it? Open it up and take a look! ”

Kwai Lei, who looked anxious, came to the side of the spirit mirror, and it is estimated that she has forgotten that this is the time to handle the case, which is now carried away by curiosity.

"......" may not want to complain about anything, and the spirit mirror chose to open it immediately after being silent for a while. In fact, what catches the eye is not something special, but rather a little unclear.

The number two, as well as four zeros. According to the numerical standard, it is 20,000, but there are too many things that can be prefixed with 20,000, money, goods, and distance......

“…… Hmm, what the hell? ”

After taking the note, the frowning Kwai Lei began to "consider" carefully, but obviously this is an ordinary note, whether it is blowing or spitting, there will be no more hidden secrets.

"Twenty thousand?"

"Numbers, there is no blood on the note, it should have been put in by the murderer after the victim's death."

Lingjing sighed and explained what could only be thought of immediately, as if to confirm his own determination.

"Also, when I came, the murderer had just run away. So this should be a total of four youkai do vicious damage. ”

"Four? It's a bit of a stretch. Aoi Lei muttered, then yawned, "But how do I feel a little bit directed at us?" It was as if it was waiting for us. ”

"I've learned the reason for the pattern from my patrol time before."

That's right, it's a bit like being targeted, knowing that as an ombudsman, he would come out to patrol at this point in time, but at this time, he committed a crime against the wind and prepared an ambush in advance, I'm afraid that the target of these guys is not the victim but himself. Of course, all of this was disrupted by the temporary addition of Aoi Lei, so the monster who committed the murder had to temporarily destroy the victim's face and so on to achieve the purpose of covering up the evidence.

But in this case, the note seems to be a little unclear. Why "leave evidence" when it is just to destroy the evidence? Or is it just a smokescreen that will derail the investigation in a strange direction?

I can't think of, no, I should say I'm not in the mood to think about it. The smell of blood on the ground is too strong, and standing aside in such a situation is already part of the test. I don't know if the vicious monsters have something to do with the recent uneasy atmosphere.

The dust has been raised, but hiding in the house will only be buried alive, and the only way is to look for the oasis in the vast desert.

"I don't have the corpse with me, so I'll go back first."

Lingjing turned around and shook off Aoi Lei, who was still rubbing her hair there, "If you can, use that 'high-tech' of yours to save the scene." (To be continued......)
