Chapter 176. Suspect J's dedication (commuter pass plus change)
The police?
Riko Asano suddenly became alert.
When it comes to the police in the United States, it is easy to think of some jokes.
For example, in order to prevent the young man from committing suicide, the police shot him to death.
For example, in order to prevent bandits from taking hostages, the police preemptively shot and killed the hostages.
Jokes like that I saw on Twitter.
Could it be that he sensed the teacher's weapon and came to interrogate and confiscate it?
No, you should have already submitted the form when you entered the country.
When Asano Ariko was thinking nonsense, the two men in police uniforms and shirts had already come to Qiao Qiao.
"Is it Mr. Qiao Qiao from Tokyo?"
A tall officer asked, showing his ID card.
"I'm Officer Leslie from the Hawaii Division, and this is my colleague Officer Leeds."
He introduced.
Officer Leslie was flanked by a woman with short hair and a very capable appearance.
"I don't know what's going on?"
Qiao Qiao replied in English, while letting Asako Asano stand behind him.
"Do you know this?"
Officer Leslie pulled out a photo of Charles he met at the shooting training ground this morning.
"We met at the shooting training ground this morning, what's wrong?"
Qiao Qiao returned the photo to the officer.
"This Mr. Charles, just two hours ago, was found dead on the beach."
Officer Leslie's gaze sharpened.
"Someone has reported that we have heard some arguments between you and Mr. Charles, we asked the owner of the shooting training ground, and he attested to it."
Officer Leeds added.
This is...... Doubting the teacher?
Asako Asano's English is average, and she knows nothing about it.
All she knew was that Mr. Charles looked like he was dead, and then the police were now investigating the teacher, were they suspecting him of murder?
But the teacher has been with him all day today.
And, Asano Riko thought.
If it was really the teacher's hand, the police probably couldn't find the body.
Teachers don't make such amateurish mistakes.
"Psychic or something, have you done it?"
Qiao Qiao thought about it, probably thinking about what kind of words should be used to translate psychic.
"Of course."
Officer Leslie nodded.
"We immediately commissioned the church to inquire about the remaining spirit of Charles."
"Of course, it's not you who is the murderer."
His expression softened a little, then became serious again.
"To be precise, the murderer is not human."
......
Big Island Police Department.
In one room, Qiao Qiao sat across from two police officers, with some photos and documents on the table in front of him.
Asako Asano was left in the hotel, mainly because of Qiaoqiao's protection of the mental health of minors.
Because Charles's death cannot be called normal.
On the table, several photographs show the last appearance of the former multinational arms dealer from all angles.
The hypertrophic abdomen was cut open, but no visceral turbulence was seen.
Because it's empty.
Charles was on all fours, dead and blinding.
He was lying on the beach, surrounded by red blood forming the appearance of a magic circle, which was not anything Qiao Qiao had ever seen.
"It seems to be some kind of evil ritual, and the church doesn't have any information about it."
Officer Leslie said.
"The psychic results revealed that Mr. Charles was attacked by a dark shadow near the beach and subsequently lost consciousness."
"Later, a man with a wooden mask set up the scene, and to his surprise, it was discovered that Mr. Charles's beach was not remote, and even surveillance cameras captured the footage, but no one noticed it at the time."
"Memes."
Qiao Qiao said in a low voice.
There's no doubt that it has something to do with weirdness.
"Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Charles also has a bodyguard, whose name is Drake. Slander, a monstrous hunter. ”
Qiao Qiao looked at the information.
Neither the written report mentioned Drake's name.
"This, that's why we found you."
Officer Leslie had a somewhat bitter expression.
"Drake. Slander is missing. ”
"The psychic didn't find any Drake. Sightings of Slander have reported that Drake has not been seen since the two left the shooting range in the afternoon. Slander. ”
Officer Leeds added.
"You think it's Drake. Slander did these things? ”
Qiao Qiao asked.
"Or maybe he's a victim too."
Officer Leslie spread his hands.
"We originally found He Maoming, and he recommended you to us."
"It's that guy again......"
Qiao Qiao regretted being so polite to him.
"Can't the local church in Hawaii solve it?"
"About this ......"
Officer Leslie gave Officer Leeds a wink.
"The local church in Hawaii sent a team of two priests and two nuns to find Drake's whereabouts based on clues."
Officer Leeds stood up, took out another document, and handed it to Qiao Qiao.
"But twenty minutes ago, the bodies of members of this squad were found in a cave in Oshima Volcano Park."
On the document, there is a photograph of the corpse.
It's good that I didn't bring the Asano shrine maiden with me.
Qiao Qiao thought to himself.
Because in the photo, there is only one corpse.
Four people, united by some mysterious power.
You can see four painful and horrified faces, as well as extra limbs and the like.
It was like kneading paper balls, and Qiao Qiao even felt that these spirit slayers had no time to resist.
Death can only happen in a split second.
"The other Church Soul Destroyers have examined that when they died, they were drained of their spiritual energy."
Officer Leslie said.
"What do you mean......"
Qiao Qiao looked up.
"Something hunting for a soul slayer?"
Spirits are attracted to each other.
The presence of a soul slayer is the most delicious delicacy for some weirdness.
They even risk their lives to taste it.
What's more, if there really is a ritual going on.
A soul slayer with spiritual powers is naturally the best material.
"We don't rule it out."
Officer Leslie said with a solemn expression.
"I'm going to make a phone call."
Qiao Qiao immediately asked the two police officers to borrow the phone from the police station and dialed the front desk number of the hotel.
"Well, Mr. Joe?"
It was Boss Cheng who answered the phone.
"How's the Asano Shrine Maiden?"
Qiao Qiao asked.
Suppose there really is a hunt for a soul slayer.
Then Qiao Qiao doesn't care about it, Asano Ariko is obviously more dangerous.
"She's playing with Sakura and Tom, so I'll let her answer the phone."
Boss Cheng's voice sounded fine.
After a brief silence, Ariko Asano answered the phone.
"Asano shrine maiden, you come to our room, in my backpack, there are some simple spirit removal props, you are ready to deal with weirdness, well, there may be weirdness that threatens the soul slayer."
Qiao Qiao had just finished explaining, and was ready to say a few more words.
The phone was cut off suddenly.
Boom –
Outside the window, thunder rolled.
Officer Leslie pulled back the curtains.
Hawaii's originally clear starry sky has been shrouded in a thick cloud of darkness.
Brushing –
A bolt of lightning spread through the clouds.
Soon, a torrential downpour followed.
"Hurricanes? Why didn't you listen to the forecast of the weather station? ”
Officer Leslie was slightly confused.
But Qiao Qiao, seeing the dark clouds of lightning and thunder, became serious.
Between the clouds, Somebody is showing its fangs.
