On a black van.

"My lord, what now, this woman saw us when she got into the car......"

Funamura, who was driving, asked a little impatiently.

Unlike the Divine Envoy who came and went without a trace, he had to continue to mingle in these neighborhoods.

For some reason, the Divine Envoy, who had only gone to fetch the sword, had tied up the shrine maiden and put her on the car, but the two men in the car were very skillful in taking out ropes and tying the hands and feet of the little bird Yuma, and they also covered their heads with sacks and gagged them with towels.

"I had an accident, and I was seen by her anyway...... Take her to the delivery place first, and when you get to the high seas, you can deal with it......"

Uchimura Ryuo hooked his index finger to the gun in his hand and turned around twice, and said with some irritation.

He has no intention of letting people go, and the fewer soul slayers who can see through his stealth, the better.

The black van drove on the crowded highway and did not notice that in the chaotic traffic behind him, a locomotive was silently keeping just the right distance.

……

"What? Makomi-chan was kidnapped? Sousuke Araki, that guy followed alone? I immediately contacted the Metropolitan Police Department......"

At the entrance of the temple, Mochizuki Ayano, who had originally come to the dinner happily after dealing with the emergency, angrily took out her mobile phone after hearing what had happened.

Lesson 9 is only in charge of paranormal cases, and regular kidnapping cases are not within their scope, but this does not prevent her from contacting the professional department.

"No, those guys dare to kidnap people directly in the urban area, it is estimated that it will be inseparable from the quintessence who came yesterday, if there is really an inside line in the police station, it will hurt the little bird and the witch, we can't bet."

Higashino reached out to stop her.

"Then what do you say, this kind of thing must be handed over to the professional police...... Do you know how low the survival rate of hostages is in kidnapping cases that choose not to report to the police? ”

Mochizuki Ayano bit her lower lip and roared angrily.

"I didn't say I wouldn't call the police...... I've just contacted my buddy from the search class privately, and he's already gathering his colleagues to deal with the matter in the name of an independent investigation......"

"Which department is your buddy searching a class? They handled the kidnapping case well. ”

Hearing Higashino Kohei's words, Mochizuki Ayano breathed a sigh of relief.

She had also planned to ask for the help of the search lesson.

"That...... Actually, it's not quite right, he is the sixth forcible offender search under the jurisdiction of the first section of the search for sexual crimes...... However, he said, there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add......"

Higashino Kohei said with some humility.

After letting Reiko Shirasui accompany Gu Principle Sha to the ambulance, he immediately contacted Ryoma before the second and explained the current situation.

Just now, Reiko Shirasui called to say that according to the preliminary diagnosis, Gu Lisha only had some slight concussion, but fortunately, there was no major problem.

And before the second one, Ryoma had already brought a few colleagues on the way here.

Although this guy was seconded to the search section, he worked in the sex crime investigation department under his subordinates, responsible for investigating sex crimes and collecting and analyzing information related to crimes, and it didn't have much to do with the kidnapping case.

Because he was afraid of the "police station insider" mentioned by the other party, he did not dare to report and request large-scale police support.

But the guy said that he could give the other party any fictitious charges such as assaulting men, and secretly act in the name of an independent investigation.

"If you want to add sin, why not? It turns out that it can still be like this...... This guy in the sex crime investigation department has a bad brain circuit......"

Hearing Higashino Kohei's words, Mochizuki Ayano, who has always been disciplined and conscientious in the Metropolitan Police Department, only feels that the door to the new world is opening to him.

If this logic is followed, then after Lesson 9, it is not possible to interfere in any case in the name of the privilege and name of "supernatural cases".

Is that "buddy" of yours really working in the same Metropolitan Police Department as me, and it won't be a black police officer planted by the extreme?

Frowning, she reached out the phone and dialed Takeshi Iwata's phone with some weakness: "It's me...... Violent elements have seized a suspected grudge in the Akagi Shrine and kidnapped important members of the Soul Slayer Association, so you immediately have the information team call up the road surveillance, check their whereabouts, and secretly gather people to prepare for the operation......"

The situation is urgent, and she can only follow the example and give the person who kidnapped the bird Yu Zhengong a "fictitious charge", so that the ninth lesson, which has the highest level of secrecy, can act alone.

"If I had known that, I should have agreed to their offer to buy the knife...... It's all my fault......"

Yutaro Kotori said reproachfully, looking at the main hall of the shrine with hatred.

Although it was Makomi who insisted that he could no longer sell anything "that belonged to the gods".

But if he loses his most important daughter for a broken knife, he will never forgive himself.

"Next, we can only wait for news from that guy Sousuke......"

After making contact, Kohei Higashino stared at his phone worriedly.

In order to avoid distraction from the other party, he couldn't take the initiative to call Sousuke Araki, so he could only wait for news.

He believes that with Sousuke's driving skills, it is absolutely impossible to lose it.

……

Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City, Port of Nagoya.

The white crescent moon is reflected on the rippling sea.

In the night, several men were carrying a black body bag and stepping onto a medium-sized yacht moored at a remote pier.

Behind them with his hands behind his back was none other than a Chinese tree planter with a greasy Mediterranean head and a strange yin and yang aura.

"Uchimura Ryuo's flower shelf hasn't arrived yet?"

Glancing at the empty cabin, he asked the man next to him.

"I've just been contacted, and the Uchimura Divine Envoy has already gotten something and is coming from Tokyo to ......"

The two groups of men and horses met on this yacht, just to prepare for a moment to go to the high seas and "deliver" to the messenger sent by "that lord".

"Hmph, it's hard to be a big guy."

The middle tree planter snorted disdainfully and unzipped the black body bag.

In the body bag, there was a shriveled bacon-like corpse of Jiuye Jun.

The lower body of the corpse can be vaguely seen only the handle of the knife trembling slightly.

"My lord, this knife is moving......"

The man on the side looked at the slender long knife that penetrated deep into the lower body of the dried corpse with some fear.

The tree planter smiled contemptuously, took out a ball of tissues and gently threw it on the dried corpse: "Don't worry, although this knife is very evil, my ability is just enough to restrain it...... There is no moving body for it to drive, which is just a waste knife. ”

All the way from Mito City, he kept taking things and throwing them on the dried corpse from time to time, but he cleaned up Kikuichi Bun Norimune obediently.

While the two were talking, a figure jumped on the cable connecting the yacht to the marina like a cat, and quietly climbed onto the yacht deck like a tightrope.
