Qiao Qiao put down the teacup, saw that Tanizaki Koji didn't quite understand, and continued to speak.

"The two acts of the prisoner are actually contradictory."

"If disguised and hidden to prevent high-level psychics, there is no need to design the time of death, because high-level psychics can detect when the deceased was killed anyway."

"The time of death was designed to allow people to misjudge the time of the deceased's murder, so that the prisoner could obtain an alibi."

"If there is only a strategy for psychic, we can think that the offender is wanted because he is afraid of being seen in appearance, this is a temporary crime, or a measure that random offenders will consider, in short, the other party does not want to deliberately kill Ayako Kashiwagi, but just kills people randomly, and happens to meet Ayako Kashiwagi."

Listening to Qiao Qiao's words, Tanizaki Koji's expression became gloomy.

No matter who you are, you won't feel good when you hear that someone around you was brutally killed by someone else just because of bad luck.

"In fact, most of the events related to weirdness are in this pattern, weird or weird believers just want sacrifices, not attached to specific characters, only pick the most convenient ones within their field of vision, and in these cases, who the deceased is actually not the core of the case."

Qiao Qiao experienced a similar incident, those believers of the old gods simply needed human sacrifices, and it didn't matter who they were.

"But using Kashiwagi Ayako's Line to contact Tanizaki-san is a simple means of creating a time gap, and if you believe that the opposite is the real Kashiwagi Ayako, her death will be postponed and will be limited to a certain amount of time, and if an investigation is launched, if there is an alibi during this period, the suspicion can be cleared."

"In other words, the perpetrator believes that if the death of Ayako Kashiwagi is investigated in depth, the initial suspicion that the monster was haunted will be overturned, and he will be suspected and investigated."

This is another criminal line of thought, that is, the belief that Ayako Kashiwagi's death was not a strange crime, but a simple human crime, or even an acquaintance.

"If there were no such operations, Ise Jingu would probably have defined it as a monster or some extremely evil being."

"But with the information that follows, we can draw a conclusion."

"In order to have an alibi for themselves, the offender has instead locked his identity into the ranks of those who need an alibi to get away with it."

Qiao Qiao knocked on the table.

"This means that there is a great possibility that the prisoner is someone you know, Tanizaki-san."

"Wait, wait......"

No matter how dull Tanizaki Koji is, he will understand what Qiao Qiao means by this time.

"You mean, the prisoner could be someone from Ise Jingu?"

Mastering the anti-psychic technique can even make the spirit on the deceased disappear, coupled with Qiao Qiao's speculation, this range is quickly narrowed to the Ise Jingu.

"It's just a possibility."

Qiao Qiao spread his hands.

"Of course, there is another possibility, which is that these are all disguises, just misleading to make our search deadlocked, and anyway, ordinary weird believers."

Qiao Qiao Peculiar did not mention the old gods, so as to avoid more uneasiness from Koji Tanizaki.

But Qiao Qiao felt that this incident was related to the old gods nine times out of ten.

While thinking about it, he suddenly felt that someone was watching him.

Looking back, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Qiao Qiao's search.

Qiao Qiao opened the door, and it was Kuroda Makoto.

Her face was still a little pale, and the events of the day were still too exciting for her, a teenage girl.

"Qiao San, please follow me to the Deserted Sacrifice Palace."

“？”

Hearing Kuroda Makoto's words, not only Koji Tanizaki, but even Qiao Qiao had a question mark.

"Wait, wait, Qiao San, is that the relationship between you and the Lord Priest like that?"

Koji Tanizaki didn't sit still.

For so many years, he had only heard the name of the chief priest, and he had never even seen a face, only that he knew that it was a pure and noble shrine maiden.

But I didn't expect that Qiao Qiao had only been here for two days, and he would already be called to the Desert Sacrifice Palace by the chief priest at night?

What's this called?

"There are so many strange ideas!"

Qiao Qiao glanced at Koji Tanizaki, but it was not bad that there was something to relieve him from the grief of losing his girlfriend now.

"I'll clean up, wait a minute."

He said to Kuroda again.

A few minutes later, Koji Tanizaki was sent away, and Qiao Qiao followed Kuroda Makoto towards the Arashori Palace.

"Where's your sister?"

In the heavy snow, Qiao Qiao and Kuroda Makoto held red oil-paper umbrellas and walked in the snow-covered shrine.

If it hadn't been for that kind of incident, it would have been a beautiful sight.

Coming to the gate of the Arashori Palace, Kuroda Makoto saluted slightly.

"I'll be waiting for you here."

She said.

It's hard to stand in this cold and snow for so long.

I don't know what happened to the Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden looking for herself.

"Good work."

Qiao Qiao walked quickly into the hall and took off his shoes.

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa was still sitting in her original position, with a bronze mirror filled with water in front of her and a bow on the side.

"You may be seated."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa opened her eyes and said softly.

She waited until Qiao Qiao sat down before she continued to speak.

"I heard that there was a murder outside the shrine, and the body of a girl was dismembered, as if it was some kind of ritual."

"That's right, this matter is being investigated by the Shrine, and it seems to have been handed over to Kuroda-san, well, my sister's."

Qiao Qiao replied that he didn't know what Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa was looking for him, and if he was asking about the killing, wouldn't it be better to ask Jun Kuroda?

"On this matter, Josan I have a request."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa looked at Qiao Qiao.

"I want to participate in the survey."

“？”

What does it mean?

Qiao Qiao didn't understand.

I really don't understand.

Let's not mention that she, a chief priestess, wants to be involved in this kind of murder, and Sayaka Shirakawa Kitashirakawa, who can't leave the Arasho Palace, shouldn't be able to investigate, right?

She's not an easy-chair detective who can solve cases in a rocking chair.

"Qiao San, I think you can also perceive that this incident is very likely to be related to the people inside the Divine Palace."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said indifferently.

Where did she get the news?

Is it really a detective who can solve problems without leaving home?

Qiao Qiao was slightly confused.

"I want to solve this problem personally, and for this, I made a request to Jingu."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa continued, swiping her hand lightly in front of the bronze mirror, and then reaching to the side.

Just when Qiao Qiao thought she was going to take her mobile phone, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa handed Qiao Qiao the things in her palm.

It was an omamori.

"These are my eyes."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said with a smile.
