"Thank you so much." The garden didn't seem to buy it, "You also said it was a year ago, and the three of us will not be in danger." ”

Her first impression of Kyogoku Shin was not good, so she stepped out of the door of the hotel first and stood outside waiting for Xiaolan and Satsuki.

"I'm sorry, Kyogoku-senpai. The garden has always been a bit straight, I hope you don't mind. ”

Hearing Xiaolan call himself like this, he looked at the girl in front of him carefully. "Eh, I remember you ......"

"My name is Maolilan, and I belong to the Karate Club of Teidan High School. Karate varsity league in the first few months, we've seen. ”

Kyogoku took off his glasses, and the smile between his sword eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden: "Oh, I remembered." You're a friend of the short-haired girl just now, and I saw her cheering you on. ”

"That's right, senior. The person you just said had died around here was ......."

"A year ago, a woman with long hair was killed near a restaurant not far ahead, and there were no eyewitnesses at the time, so the case was not solved for a long time."

"How can this be......" Xiaolan covered her mouth.

Satsuki, who had never spoken to him, put his chin in his hand, and said after contemplation, "Since everyone is so familiar, Mr. Kyogoku will go with us." What if you really meet that murderer, with you and Xiaolan's karate masters, why don't you easily subdue him? ”

Kyogoku's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing outside, a little embarrassed.

Finally, he blushed and said, "This shop belongs to my father, and I came over to help receive the guests of the hotel during the holidays, so I'm afraid it won't work for a few days." ”

He said this, Xiaolan and Gao Yue didn't want to embarrass him, and just as the two were about to leave, Gao Yue's footsteps suddenly stopped before stepping out of the threshold.

She turned around and leaned in front of the counter, put one hand to her mouth, and whispered, "Mr. Kyogoku, do you know if there are any wigs sold around here?" ”

As soon as the fireworks show ended, Satsuki begged the store manager at the barber shop to buy the coffee-colored pear blossom wig.

On the way back, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were obviously a little disgusted. "Satsuki, I don't know what you're doing. Why do you suddenly want to buy a wig to wear, it's not like you. ”

Satsuki's lips were tightly closed, and she didn't want to tell the garden that the murderer only targeted the coffee-haired woman, otherwise she didn't know what she would be scared of.

The site of the summer festival and the Wagaya Ryokan are separated by a forest with railroad tracks at the other end of the forest, and occasionally a train passes by.

It was getting late when he returned, and by the light of the station in the distance, Yuan Zi sighed as he looked at the camera hanging around his neck.

"I wanted to take a beautiful picture of myself catching goldfish, but the three of us didn't wear yukatas, so the photos didn't feel good at all."

"There's no way around it." Xiaolan comforted, "We already have a lot of luggage, and if we put on a kimono, it will be stuffed." ”

The conversation between the two did not arouse Satsuki's interest at all, and she walked in front alone, looking around at the grass around her.

According to the original book, the second crime committed by the man named Masahiko Michikyo in a year was to kill a woman with coffee-colored hair somewhere in the woods after tonight's fireworks display. Unfortunately, Suzuki Sonoko happened to walk past this neighborhood with a camera, and Dokhyo mistakenly thought that she had taken a picture that was unfavorable to him, so he approached Sonoko and tried to attack her.

Then I'm really going to take a picture of the evidence of your crime this time and hand it over to the police...... Gao Yue thought, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Suddenly, from the other end of the fence in the woods, there was a train whistle. The 'boom' chirp got closer and closer, gradually drowning out the sound of the garden and Xiaolan talking.

Gao Yue could only see the train lights in the darkness, and when the dazzling light flashed in front of him, he was in a trance for a while. Then, the huge body of the train whizzed past them, and the cold wind swept in.

Just as Gao Yue stopped to tighten the button of her coat, her chest suddenly became very stuffy. It seems to feel that there is something else mixed in with the noise of the train.

She suddenly had a sense of foreboding, so she immediately pulled the camera from her neck and ran forward.

"Hey! Satsuki, what's wrong! Yuan Zi and Xiaolan shouted in the back, but they were overshadowed by the sound of the train.

The soil of the grass is a little soft in the wet weather, and Satsuki struggles to run. As she reached the end of the forest, she noticed a dark figure flashing by.

"Hey! Don't run! As she shouted, she turned on the camera's flash and pressed the shutter in the direction of the shadow's escape.

The endless "click, click" sound sounded a dozen times before it stopped.

"Hey, Satsuki. What's the matter, suddenly running here? Yuan Zi and Xiaolan asked worriedly.

Gao Yue stared blankly at the black and oppressive grass not far ahead, and after sniffing a few times the smell of blood lingering in the air, she instantly straightened her face.

She was sure what the other sounds were as the train whistled past her.

If she guessed correctly, the coffee-haired woman was lying in the grass at this time, and the strange sound was the woman's screams before she died.

Gao Yue stopped in front of Xiaolan and Yuanzi's bodies with one hand, and said solemnly: "Don't go over to look, call the police first." ”

When Officer Yokozo appeared with a coral hairstyle, he was as abnormal, and there was no smile on his face.

He looked around for a while before walking to the side of Yuan Zi and Xiaolan and asked, "I heard, you reported the case, right?" ”

"Officer Henggou, long time no see." Xiaolan covered her mouth lightly and smiled.

"You are ......" Yokozo looked at her for a long time, and his stiff face opened up, and he said excitedly: "You are not Mr. Maori's daughter Xiaolan." ”

"I didn't expect you to remember me." Xiaolan was also overjoyed when she saw Yokogou, and was a little surprised: "How could Officer Yokogou do things with the police from Shizuoka Prefecture?" Aren't you a criminal police officer from Saitama Prefecture? ”

Henggou scratched his head embarrassedly: "That's the case, I was recently promoted from the police department to the police department." Shizuoka Prefecture was short of manpower, so I transferred it. However, it is thanks to your father's reasoning that I have helped me to apprehend the culprit. ”

Yuan Zi looked him up and down with half-drooping eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Then why did you still look sad just now?" ”

"Haven't you heard?" Yokogou Shenwu's eyes widened, and he said solemnly: "The woman who was killed a year ago and the woman who was killed this time have the same coffee-colored hair, and the criminal's modus operandi is the same, so it is likely that the same person did it. When I was transferred to Shizuoka Prefecture, I followed the case for a while, but I didn't find any clues. ”

"Coffee ...... The coffee-haired woman ...... "Sonoko's pupils shrank and stroked her hair.
