Just as Keiko Shiraishi said, in a cowherd shop not far from the next door, a cowherd was killed and killed.

Note that it is "killed", not suicide.

That is, the murderers, still at large.

It could even be one of the crowds watching the excitement on the street outside.

If this were the case, the police would not have paid such a high level of attention.

The most critical thing is.

The death of the deceased is very special.

His cheekiness ..... was stripped away. ”

Kinoshita Kiyomi said in a serious tone.

Recalling the scene I had just seen, the faces of the police officers were not very good-looking.

The witnesses who first found the deceased at the scene vomited so much that they were about to vomit up the acid water.

It can be seen that the bloody scene is far beyond the ability of ordinary people to accept.

Dough Peeler?

"Hiss......"

Aono looked surprised at the right time.

"And this case ......"

Seeing that Kinoshita Kiyomi was about to say more information, the police officer behind him wanted to stop talking.

"Officer Kinoshita, it doesn't seem ...... to do this."

"I know, but I'm afraid he'll be targeted by the suspect. Aono-kun is a survivor of the last X incident. ”

Hearing this, the two policemen looked at each other.

I finally understood how Aono and Kinoshita Kiyomi met.

And looked at Aono sympathetically...... What a poor young man!

- The effect of charisma is not only played on the opposite sex.

"This is the fourth case in two months."

Kinoshita Kiyomi looked ashamed.

"However, we still failed to catch him."

"Officer, I'll be his target..... What is the meaning? ”

Aono had been pretending to be an ordinary teenager until Kinoshita Kiyoshi met.

There was an appropriate flash of fear in his eyes, a little nervous.

But his face was deliberately calm, as if he was holding on.

upgraded to the characteristics of [camouflage], which is comparable to actor-level acting skills.

Kinoshita Kiyomi, who was already sympathetic to him, softened his heart even more - if it weren't for the public, he would definitely use her clumsy methods to comfort Aono.

The same is true for both subordinates.

"Because..... The targets he chose were all very handsome young men......"

Kinoshita Kiyomi's words weren't finished yet, but Aono had already understood.

Is the co-author picking handsome guys to start?

But in this way, isn't the vast majority of the clerks in the Cowherd shop very dangerous?

"There will be a period of time between each crime of the suspect, so there is no need to ...... for the time being"

A policeman was speaking out to reassure him.

But Kinoshita Kiyomi suddenly picked up a call, and his complexion changed one after another, and finally turned iron blue.

"The murderer has committed the crime again, still in Kabukicho!"

"Moreover, it will not be more than half an hour before the time of the crime!"

"This ....."

Both policemen were stunned.

That is, while they were dealing with the last case, this person was unhurriedly peeling the skin of an innocent person somewhere?

Audacious and rampant!

Didn't take them seriously at all!

It can be said that it is a naked challenge to the police.

It's no wonder Kinoshita Kiyomi's expression is so ugly.

"You notify the higher-ups and ask for more police forces to block the entrances and exits of the entire Kabukicho!"

"You and me, go to the scene of the crime now!"

After giving the order resolutely, Kinoshita Kiyomi turned his head to look at Aono.

"You'd better close the door and don't let strangers in."

"You have to be careful......

The serious female officer rubbed Aono's hair as she left, revealing her stiff smile again.

"Officer Kinoshita should also be safe."

Aono could feel that she was really concerned about her safety, so she replied.

When I raised my head again, I could only see her back as she left in a hurry.

"What's going on?"

Amamiya Hitomi walked over to Aono and asked.

Aono told the seniors the general situation.

After a short thought, Hitomi Amamiya immediately made a decision.

Instead of risking a would-be murderer sneaking into the store, it's better to close the store now.

Wait in the store to see what happens.

Several big cowherds also made the same decision.

Earning money and customers is important, but no matter how important it is, it can't compare to your own life!

So, [Fantasy] closed its doors.

No more guests.

The few customers in the store stayed in the store for the time being.

The situation outside is starting to mess up, but it's safer to be in [Fantasy].

Sirens blaring.

"Drip-drip-"

Kabukicho, which is usually full of lights, is caught in a small riot.

This is the busiest area of Shinjuku.

The efficiency of the police leaving the country is very high.

Some foreign tourists, who don't know, think that they have also started to eliminate pornography and illegal activities in Japan!

I have to say that Japan's emergency evacuation education is truly second to none in the world.

- I'm really not blowing about Japan, but there are some things that people are really powerful.

Japan is located in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone, which is one of the most active places for plate movements. and on an island, surrounded by the sea; There are also active volcanoes on the island.

Earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions...... These disasters come almost every year!

Why is it good for people to educate on emergency avoidance?

It's all honed!

Experience it first-hand from a young age.

Therefore, even though the entrances and exits of Kabukicho were blocked by the police, there was no real chaos in Kabukicho to the point of losing order.

People can still leave as long as they pass the inspection.

It's just that.

As an entertainment venue with an extremely large floating population, it is difficult to find the murderer among so many people, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The worst case scenario is that he has escaped long before the lockdown is completed.

That means that the efforts made by the police are in vain.

But even if it's useless, do it!

10 p.m.

Night has come.

Kiyomi Kinoshita ran into an alley, and a flashlight lit up ahead.

Followed by a police dog.

Following the breath of the scene, it can only be traced here.

The environment in Kabukicho is actually more demanding for police dogs.

The smell of alcohol and the smell of cosmetics, these two stimulating smells, will bring a lot of harm to police dogs.

"Whew~"

The police dog whimpered, sounding a little aggrieved.

It's like saying, "I did my best!" ”

"Good ~ rice, you're doing a great job."

Kiyomi Kinoshita touches the head of a police dog named "Rice" as a sign of encouragement.

At the same time, the mind is highly concentrated.

The main reason why the rice found this place was broken was .....

The smell of blood is too strong!

The gore, which even Kinoshita Kiyomi could smell, filled this alley.

In the darkness of the alley, I don't know what is hidden.

The more Kiyomi Kinoshita walked down the alley, the stronger the smell of blood became.

There were faint red blood stains that streaked across the ground, leaving traces of the corpse being dragged along.

New victims?

Kinoshita Kiyomi's mood sank to the bottom.

This murderer is probably really crazy, as if he doesn't care about being caught.

Suddenly.

Kinoshita Kiyomi thought of a possibility - what if he just hid in the darkness of the alley, waiting for his arrival?

Her pores were all constricted.

A chill crept up from the back ridge.

In the wind.

"Would you like to ..... Admire my collection? ”
