The prisoner not only brutally killed Ayako Kashiwagi, but also disguised herself as her and sent a message to Koji Tanizaki.

If there is no psychic, perhaps this incident will lead to a misjudgment of the time of the crime due to the information and testimony of Koji Tanizaki, and thus miss the correct clue.

Of course, since Ayako Kashiwagi's spirit has been annihilated for unknown reasons, it is not possible to carry out detailed channeling under normal circumstances.

Who knew that Qiao Qiao's psychic skills had reached this level.

It's just that because the other party is very cautious and wears a mask, he can't know his true appearance, and his figure can't be seen clearly because he is wearing a cloak.

The offender was apparently familiar with the modern psychic system of solving crimes, and even prepared a mask considering the possibility that some powerful spiritist would be able to channel objects.

Otherwise, in this kind of place where even public cameras don't exist, Qiao Qiao doesn't know who he is wearing a mask for.

"The Soul Killer committed a crime?"

Qiao Qiao's first reaction was this.

In the case of the spirit master, there is probably a way to maintain the temperature and vitality of the corpse, and it is a premeditated crime to disguise the long-dead Kashiwagi Ayako as if she had just died to create an alibi.

"Does Kuroda-san have any clue about this magic circle?"

He asked, and the two Kuroda raised their heads at the same time, and then the younger sister realized that Qiao Qiao was talking to Kuroda Jun and lowered her head.

"From the point of view of the structure, it is the style of the Japanese country, and it has the meaning of Shinto, but the symbols in it are not familiar to me, and it is more like a transformation of some kind of Shinto magic."

Jun Kuroda pondered.

"But this desecration of the body of the deceased is too evil, it seems to be done by a youkai, and it may be a youkai who understands some Shinto magic."

"Are there any youkai near Ise Jingu?"

Qiao Qiao subconsciously asked.

"Of course there is, in addition to the monsters with residence permits, there are some hidden in the mountains, and occasionally come out to make trouble, about once or twice a year, but it doesn't cause too big a problem, at most, it's to the extent of stealing food."

Jun Kuroda replied as a matter of course.

The monsters here live a really humble life.

Qiao Qiao thought of Suzuka, who was far away in Tokyo, eating, sleeping and playing games.

Even yokai have such a big difference in big cities and small places.

"Anyway, let's investigate the youkai with a residence permit and the nearby residents, and I have to report to the shrine and strengthen vigilance, the New Year's festival is coming soon, and nothing can go wrong."

Jun Kuroda muttered to himself.

The New Year's Festival is the earliest festival held each year among the major festivals of Ise Jingu, and it is mainly held to pray for good weather throughout the year.

The shape of the shrine hall of Ise Jingu is actually similar to that of Yonekura in Kowa Province, so some historians believe that the origin of the shrine is the rice canu, and the belief that it was born from the agricultural civilization, and that the sun represented by Amaterasu Daigojin and the wind and rain represented by Susanoo are exactly what farming needs.

Qiao Qiao didn't know much about theology, anyway, he knew that there was a festival recently.

It seems that every time a festival is held, something goes wrong.

First it was the Nambu Festival at Atsuta Jingu, then the Gion Festival in Kyoto, and then the Izumo Taisha Shrine Festival.

However, Ise Jingu has Satoma Kita-Shirakawa in charge, as well as Yagatsuga, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Well, Atsuta Shrine still had the Tiancong Cloud Sword that time, so it wasn't a big deal.

No, that guy from Tiancong Cloud Sword is not reliable at all, he is just a big bear child.

At least this time the mirror was not lost...... It should be, it wasn't lost, right?

Between divergent thoughts, Qiao Qiao and the others also ended the investigation at the scene and returned to Ise Jingu.

I don't know if the news has already arrived, and at dinner, everyone looked at Qiao Qiao and whispered.

It's over, and the wind commentary is going to be killed again.

Koji Tanizaki was hit too hard, so he went back to rest early.

After the evening lessons, it's time for free breaks.

Qiao Qiao took the notebook and returned to his residence.

But there was a man standing here.

It's Koji Tanizaki.

His eyes were still red.

"Qiao San, I've investigated the information."

“？”

Qiao Qiao was stunned.

"No, it's not what I thought it was, I'm a law-abiding, beloved soul slayer, and I have nothing to do with any explosive weapons."

He hurriedly explained.

But Tanizaki Koji took two steps forward, lowered his body, and made a kneeling appearance.

"Qiao San, can you help me find the prisoner who killed Ayako?"

He said hoarsely.

"In the past, I have always wanted to hone my soul removal technique and practice seriously, if I really encounter resentful spirits, I can destroy resentful spirits and protect ordinary people."

"But now I realize that I can't protect anything at all, not even the people around me."

"I was so naïve."

"Weird world, not so easy and pleasant."

It wasn't until his girlfriend died that Koji Tanizaki really felt the cruelty of this world.

Because the books I read in the past and the images I saw were simple and easy to remove spirits, Koji Tanizaki subconsciously thought that this world was like TV dramas and movies, and everyone could complete the removal of spirits if they were happy.

But not so.

Hundreds of ordinary people die every year because of weirdness.

In addition to the death of the spirit master, it also happens from time to time.

Even if the soul destroyer dies because of weirdness, it is possible that he will evolve into weirdness and be destroyed by other peers.

Koji Tanizaki was shocked when he checked Qiaoqiao's information.

This is different from what is as simple as going to the house where the evil spirits are relying on it, spraying holy water, sticking a charm, and removing the spirit.

It's a real fight for life.

Although most of the most important experiences of Qiao Qiao Tanizaki Koji have not been seen, judging from the few times that can be searched, this person is an expert in removing spirits.

Professional specialists.

Tanizaki Koji didn't feel that he could grow to that level in a short period of time, so he could only turn to Qiao Qiao for help.

"I understand the idea, I will investigate it in the interval between my practice."

Qiao Qiao replied.

Although he shouldn't be nosy, but in the end, a human life died in front of him, and Qiao Qiao, as a soul exterminator, is reasonable to investigate this matter.

"Actually, I already have some ideas."

Qiao Qiao opened the door of his room and invited Koji Tanizaki to his room.

"The offender is very familiar with the means of psychic to solve the case, and uses various methods to evade psychic detection, so even if I can perfectly restore the scene at that time, it is difficult to immediately deduce the identity of the culprit."

Qiao Qiao said while making tea for the two.

"He even used Ayako Kashiwagi's mobile phone to create a simple crime trap in this situation, so that everyone miscalculated the crime and thus obtained an alibi in a sense."

"But this one became a clue."

Qiao Qiao took a sip of tea and explained.

"The prisoner is one of the beings who will be included in the list of suspects when the alibi is investigated."
