Chapter 128: The Legend of the Fairy Fox
On the floor, a bottle of medicine was accidentally knocked over to the ground.
White pills scattered everywhere.
The curtains were tightly closed, as if it were still night.
On the desk, there is a "Psychological Counseling Diagnosis Report".
"The man who sets the horse, you are mighty and majestic, and you are a galloping horse"
The constant ringing of the ring, coupled with the constant vibration of the mobile phone, finally woke up the sleeping person in the bed.
In a daze, I didn't have time to tell if it was a scam call, so I pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Tangtang, why don't you go to the hot springs together? It's energy, I've heard of the super-spiritual! ”
"No, where?"
"Gunma Prefecture."
When Qinghai Chuantang heard this, he quickly opened his eyes, and a carp rolled and sat up, showing a look of surprise.
"You say it again?"
"Gunma Prefecture, what's wrong?" Mai Kirishima felt a little strange.
In Qinghai Chuantang's heart, he has silently drawn the equation.
Gunma Prefecture is equal to mountain village, which is equal to monster infestment.
After learning through her friends on the road that the Maori family had no plans to go out, she finally relieved herself and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
So, I agreed, and I just wanted to relax.
Mai Kirishima refers to the hot spring area, called "Rushikan", is located on a remote mountain peak in Gunma Prefecture.
It is surrounded by bare trees.
It's more like a supernatural place than an energy place.
"This is the only way it works!"
Mai Kirishima said excitedly, took out her mobile phone, and accurately took a video record.
At this moment, a black-haired woman wearing a kimono with a pear blossom head walked over.
"Welcome. I'm the eighth generation owner of the museum, Nazuki Edo. ”
After speaking, she took a step forward, "You are the guests of Lord Fairy Fox, right?" ”
"Yes, I'm Kirishima who made an appointment, and I'm here to see Lord Fairy Fox."
The hot springs of the Rusikan are gushing out of the Edo period.
From one day, it was rumored that there was an unknown person in the hot spring, and everyone called it a fairy fox at that time.
They believe that it was the fox that turned into a bathing guest.
It is rumored that good things will happen when you see a fox, so the fox is revered as the fairy fox.
Since then, the ancestors of Edo Nazuki have served Senko-sama for generations, and the Rusikan has become more and more popular.
However, from the Meiji period onwards, the amount of water gradually dried up.
Now, in the hot springs where the fairy fox appears, the amount of water is slowly accumulating. Once a month, a ceremony is held to welcome the fairy fox.
"Because Lord Fairy Fox hates contact with the outside world very much, so please leave your phone to me for safekeeping."
As she spoke, Nazuki Edo took out a delicate brocade bag from her sleeve.
The two obediently did so.
There is a sign at the entrance, but it is still a long way from the real hot spring hall.
Not only do you have to climb stone stairs, but you also have to walk across a very long suspension bridge.
"It's just ahead."
Finally, they saw the hot spring house.
In the words of Mai Kirishima, she looks very energetic.
"The main building here has guest rooms and hot springs that can be used by general guests. The special hot springs that will appear in the fairy fox are still ahead. ”
The corridors are a bit narrow and cannot be navigated side by side.
The candles lit on both sides add a lot of quaint atmosphere.
"Behind this door is the inner room where Lord Fairy Fox lives."
The door looks heavy.
Because Lord Fairy Fox doesn't like to communicate with the outside world, there is only one entrance and exit in the inner room.
Nazuki Edo inserted the copper key into the keyhole.
"Lord Fairy Fox, excuse me."
With that, she turned to look at the two of them.
"Lord Fairy Fox, excuse me."
Then, Nazuki Edo turned the key and pushed the door open.
"Please come in."
Inside, except for the middle of the house, which looks like a worship, the rest of the environment is laid out like an ancient tavern.
On the pillar, a fairy fox mask is hung, and lanterns carved with delicate patterns are lit on both sides.
"Please wait here for a moment until all the guests have arrived."
In addition to the three, there are two people who are one step ahead.
One is the familiar, coincidental Masamu Sera, and the other is a short-haired girl who looks a little cute.
"When we first met, my name was Blackstone Jiadai."
After exchanging names from several parties, Kuroshi Jiaju asked curiously, "Miss Qingqingchuan, don't you participate in the Fairy Fox Lord ceremony?" ”
On the altar, there are several wooden boxes with the names of the guests on them.
Write your name on the slip of paper you sent from the museum, and send it back with the content of your wish. During the ceremony, it is burned with a brazier.
Finally, drink the source of the hot springs of the fairy fox, and everyone runs the hot springs separately, and the ceremony is completed.
In this way, Lord Fairy Fox will fulfill his wish.
Sera Masumi didn't believe this, mainly because he accepted the commission to come, so he didn't write down any wishes.
And Qinghai Chuantang
After thinking about it, she didn't seem to have any special desires, and many things had learned to go with the flow.
"Isn't it a happy thing to have no wishes, and vice versa?"
The middle-aged man who spoke, named Kio Hayao, wore rimless glasses and looked heavy.
"There are so many people here."
A man with a black backpack and stubble walked in with the door open.
"You are?"
Seeing that someone was asking about him, the man hurriedly put down the bag on his shoulder and introduced himself, "My name is 'Sakuma Chi', please take care of me." ”
After saying that, he took out another business card from his trouser pocket and handed it to the nearest Mai Kirishima.
"Well, I opened a bar in Erxian Bridge. If you go to Erxian Bridge to play, please be sure to come and there will be discounts"
"Can you stop talking about such vulgar things?"
Hayao Kio stood up a little angrily, "This is a sacred place, and it will be cursed by Lord Fairy Fox." ”
Sakuma looked like he didn't care.
"It's time for humans to go to the moon on rockets. Do you still believe in any curses? ”
As soon as the words fell, the fairy fox mask on the pillar fell to the ground, startling everyone.
Hurriedly put his hands together, prayed constantly, and recited "Nam no Amitabha" in his mouth.
Now, there is only one last person left.
"Hello everyone, first time we met, I'm Kuriyama Shoujiang."
He looked young and had a baby face. So even if you make the action of scratching your head, it won't make people feel the slightest sense of disobedience, but a little cute.
"I like hot springs very much, and I'm looking forward to meeting Fairy Fox today, so please take care of me."
"All hands are here."
Nazuki Edo came to everyone and said calmly, "Then, please go out without a gift sign." ”
Guests who are not on the list can only be accommodated in regular rooms.
There will be no other guests today besides them, so you can pick a room at will.
"Ah, why don't you just stay in this double room?"
Sera smiled and suggested, "Maybe it's going to be fun tonight." ”
It looks like a big bad wolf waiting for the little white rabbit.
But shouldn't the big bad wolf be himself?
Qinghai Chuantang, who was thinking, forgot to answer the other party's question, making him think that he had chosen to acquiesce.
After talking, I finally understood the purpose of Seliang Zhenjun's visit.
A few days ago, an underground idol named Tako Shinkawa committed suicide by jumping from the upper floor. On social software, the last message sent was goodbye, Xiao Jiang.
Relying on the strong bond between fans, they successfully picked up the identity of this "Xiaojiang" Lishan Shoujiang.
It is rumored that Tako Shinkawa chose to commit suicide because the other party proposed to break up, and because she couldn't think about it for a while.
And the day of her suicide happened to be after her last performance.
The client's purpose is to hope that Shira is innocent and can find out the real reason for Shinkawa Tako's suicide.
Whether it is really related to Kuriyama Shoujiang.
Exactly, why did you propose a breakup?
"The ritual should be over by now."
Qinghai Chuantang sat on a chair, admiring the dark scenery outside, and tasted the water in the cup like a petty bourgeoisie.
When Sera Masumi came to the vicinity of the back room, he saw Edo Natsuki standing outside the door, and the person standing at the door was none other than Kuriyama Shoue, holding a small notebook in his hand.
The two seemed to be exchanging something.
After discovering that someone was coming, Kuriyama Shoue quickly turned around and left, and Edo Natsuki quickly locked the door.
It's as if there's some ulterior secret.
"Lord Fairy Fox's ceremony, is it over?"
"Yes, it's over."
"Can I go in and have a look?"
With that, Sera was ready to take a step forward.
"No, you can't."
Edo Natsuki stopped her and said, "According to the regulations, the door must be locked after the ceremony. No one was allowed to go in until morning. ”
"What if something happens inside?"
"The door can be opened from the inside. In the event of an accident, you can contact us from the landline phone inside. ”
After explaining, Nazuki Edo prepared to leave.
"Goodnight, then."
After finishing speaking, he passed by Shiliang Zhenchun.
Christmas Eve, did not come.
Early the next morning, the man's frightened exclamations resounded throughout the valley.
Hearing the movement, the two hurriedly ran towards the back room, and Edo Natsuki also happened to arrive at the scene and opened the door.
When I came to the sound place, I saw Sakuma pointing in the direction of the hot spring pool.
There was a naked man lying in the doorway, with blood on his face.
On the ground, there are still traces of water being dragged away.
The index finger of the right hand is slightly cocked and pointed forward.
"It's Kuriyama Shoujiang, he was killed, call the police!"
In the changing room, there is also a white mobile phone.
"It's retribution!"
The first thing Keio said when he walked in,That's it.。
He pointed to the mobile phone on the ground and shouted, "It's because I brought in this kind of thing that I angered Lord Fairy Fox!" before being dragged out of the sacred bath! ”
Shiliang Zhenchun, who knows the relationship between Kuriyama Shoujiang and Shinkawa Tako, thinks that this fanatical fan has made a "trial" in order to avenge his idol.
So the murderer is among the remaining four.
Thinking of the interaction between Nazuki Edo and Kuriyama Shoujiang at the door, the number of suspects is about to rise to five.
Seeing the innocence of Shiliang after the investigation, Mai Kirishima looked curious.
Whispered, "Did he really kill him?" ”
Sera nodded.
"He was shot twice in the head, and he was definitely killed."
"Who did that?"
"Lord Fairy Fox."
Hayao Keio on the side said.
