Nabe's house.

"Sister? What do you say, the coffin teacher is going to hold a book signing? ”

Nabe Momiji looked at her sister in surprise, she just heard the biggest surprise of the year from her sister's mouth.

"That's right, it's in Chiyoda-ku."

"I'm going, I'm going, sister! What kind of person is the coffin teacher?! Nabe Momiji couldn't hold back his curiosity about the coffin teacher anymore, "Isn't it the kind of uncle who wears glasses and has an elegant and easy-going temperament?!" ”

"Ahh

Listening to his sister's unrealistic imagination of the coffin teacher, Nabe Shion opened her mouth, and finally just said, "You'll know when you see it on the day of the signing...... Anyway, it must be a surprise. ”

"Surprise? That's what I thought, right? The coffin teacher is a charming middle-aged uncle, right? ”

Nabe Shion is noncommittal, what the real situation is, it all depends on my sister's own imagination.

And she felt that even if she told Momiji the truth now, it would be another thing whether she would believe it or not.

In those days, information was not well developed, and when an author in the publishing industry wanted to hold a book signing, he or she usually had to advertise it in a magazine, but due to the location, only people in Tokyo and the surrounding area could actually come to buy books on site.

And the book signing meeting is not like an idol meeting, there are very few fanatical fans, don't look at the tens of millions of people in the Tokyo area, the people who will really rush to the scene - Nabe Shion is optimistically estimated to be a few hundred.

Hundreds of people rushed to the signing meeting, which was actually quite good.

For example, many newly famous authors hold a book signing, and there may be more family members who come to support than real readers.

The book signing was much easier than Mito had imagined, and Kadokawa Shoten was a long-established publishing house, and it was needless to say that it had a lot of experience in holding various events related to the publication of works.

He thought that he should be more or less in a hurry, but under the arrangement of the publishing house, he didn't have to worry about it at all, everything was very appropriate.

All he needs is to prepare an opening statement, and a dry opening statement doesn't matter, anyway, the probability that the person writing the book will usually be able to speak well is very small.

Even if there are only a few farts popping out at the book signing, the reader will not blame.

The time for the signing meeting was set for a week later.

On the third day of the fire, and the third day he stayed at Omiya's house, an old acquaintance, Officer Twilight, called him.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked how Mito was doing and whether he had found a new place to live.

He belonged to the Metropolitan Police Department with Officer Gong Chang, and the arson case in Trojan Mazhuang still happened in the town of Rice Flower in his charge, so he naturally knew the facts of the arson case.

However, Mito Moon estimated that Officer Twilight made this call more than just to comfort herself.

Sure enough, after a brief greeting, Officer Twilight finally revealed his true colors: "Brother Mito, I have a tricky case here. ”

“？？？”

When did you become a supernumerary member of the Metropolitan Police Department, or a private detective?

Officer Twilight didn't meet him on the side of the road this time and pull himself into the car, but called him directly. Good Mood Literature Network

Mito Tsuki thought so in his heart, but that damn curiosity made him wonder what kind of tricky case it was: "What kind of case is it, Officer Twilight?" ”

"Possibly...... Murder by supernatural forces! ”

………………

Rice Flower Police Station.

"These are the files of several cases, Brother Mito, you see."

Officer Twilight handed the case file to Mito Tsuki: "The murderer's methods are really unbelievable, and the victims he killed have no social connection to each other, and of course it is even more bizarre...... We didn't even examine the wounds from the victims. ”

The police at the scene were already in a hurry, and there were several reporters waiting outside the police station.

If reporters start to appear in a case, it means that the pressure on the police will increase suddenly, and if you don't do it, it will cause the entire police station to jump.

But more importantly...... The case that Officer Twilight said seemed to be really weird, otherwise he wouldn't have brought in all the reporters.

Moreover, Mito Moon also saw the figure of Mori Kogoro and Conan.

Although it is a bit redundant to call Maori Kogoro to solve the case, it is still more reliable to have Conan here.

"On June 3, the deceased [Sarufeixin] was found on the bank of the Wujin River, and the cause of death was a brain contusion." Mito continued to look down, "Normally, it's an accidental death. ”

Officer Twilight nodded, "Yes, many people die in various accidents every day in Tokyo, and at first everyone just thought it was an accident. ”

"In the ...... of the deceased A plastic tube with a length of 6.5 cm and a radius of 0.4 cm was found in the anus? Mito estimated the size of the plastic tube, which was about the size of a perfume sample bottle.

But stuff this stuff into the valley road......

"There's a note in the plastic tube."

【Great Fierce】

【Beware of the river】

There is a photograph of the note taken in the file, and the two lines of text typed out by the printer can be clearly seen from the note.

"Yes, that's the bizarre point of the case, if there wasn't a note, the whole case would have ended with the accidental death of the victim, but it's just this note......," Dr. Twilight frowned, "The text on it, like the shrine's signature, is a provocation left by the murderer." ”

"Obviously has a murder method that can not be discovered by others, but he wants to expose his murder facts, an arrogant criminal."

Leave a provocative message after the killing.

Regardless of whether the murderer is caught or not, this will cause a great hot spot in society, and the news media will definitely frantically enrich it like a shark smelling blood.

"At the scene of the river where the deceased died, we did not find a second footprint other than the deceased, and the murderer did not go down to the river."

"In other words, when the deceased fell into the river, the murderer stuffed the divine sign into his body, either by throwing the body after the killing, or by throwing the victim into the body after falling into a coma." Officer Twilight analyzed.

Mito nodded, at least for now, he agreed with Officer Twilight.

"But...... Brother Mito, let's keep looking down, and you'll probably understand why we say that there may be supernatural forces at work. ”
