Chapter 1: The Vampire Discovery
Kawajin initially suspected the existence of the so-called vampires because of those little gangsters.
They naively believe that if they only carve teeth into a woman's neck, they will definitely blame the vampire.
This kind of joke-like way of escaping culpability is not even used by children in reality. After all, it's too fantastical.
However, those little thugs firmly believe that as long as they do this, they can get away with it, which can only be explained by the fact that they really believe that there are vampires in this school city.
As the saying goes, hearing is believing, and people are always skeptical of hearsay, especially when they hear something that contradicts their common sense. It's like if someone suddenly jumps out on the street and says, "Actually, your father is not your father, I am your father," this person will definitely be beaten.
Even if it is true, as long as it contradicts the common sense of their own understanding, people will do everything possible to exonerate it and try to interpret the event according to their own understanding.
And when people see something with their own eyes, they tend to believe it to be true, even if it is false. This technique is often seen in detective dramas. Those murderers who are idle and have nothing to do, do not run away after killing someone, but calmly use some side methods that no one uses in reality at all, fake the scene, blame others, and generally fake murder methods, so that some people [see] the fake scene. Something like that.
Combining these two,It's not hard to understand why they are so convinced that there is a vampire in this school city.γ
Because, they are likely to have seen vampires sucking human blood.
That's why Shimazaki Qianxue will set up layers of monitoring networks throughout the school city.,Her ability to communicate with animals.,This is simply the most suitable ability for monitoring.γ
After all, animals have a much smaller goal than people. The urban greening of the school park is very good.,There's a bird or beast or something.,It's normal.γ What cats and dogs,Birds and sparrows and the like,As long as you can communicate with them effectively,You can easily pull up a monitoring network of the school cityγ
Now, the net has caught its first prey.
The so-called Mr. Vampire.
"Hmm, students in the 10th school district......"
Kawajin listened to the information that Chiyuki Shimazaki fed back to him, and quickly refined the main points.
"No, not necessarily, it could be that students have their own apartments in District 10."
He quickly overturned the focus he had just refined.
According to the information conveyed by Chiyuki Shimazaki, there is indeed a person who attacked women, about sixteen years old, who looks thin and thin, and his appearance is not good, giving people an ordinary feeling. Although he wears a school uniform, it is too difficult for animals to distinguish human school uniforms. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm which school is the uniform.
Animals don't know how to draw, otherwise they would have been able to draw pictures for the two of them.
However, it is helpful to know that it is a student.
According to Shimazaki, this so-called vampire, like a junkie, walked tremblingly down the road and secretly followed a woman. Because of vampire lore, it seems that many fanatics will go down the alley without advice, and then ...... Naturally, he was sucked by vampires.
This is also what makes Kawajin particularly confused......
If there is a serial murder on the street, everyone will be frightened, afraid to walk at night, dare not walk the alley, for fear that the next victim will be themselves. But in this vampire incident, everyone knew that there were vampires, but they still deliberately walked through the alleys, which was ......
Alas, it can only be said that the charm of urban legends is too great.
If these criminals can learn psychology well, the success rate will increase several times.
Anyway, the vampire followed the woman all the way to the alley, and then disappeared.
The whole person walked away and the figure became fainter, and the vampire disappeared like this.
Then the murdered woman walked, as if out of strength, stumbled a few steps, and fell. Behind her, it was the man just now.
Because it was an animal that saw it and relayed it to Shimazaki, Kawajin didn't really believe the description of this information. After all, what animals don't understand, they can't describe to the two of them. Still, there is one thing they can confirm.
That's ...... The victim did have two bloody wounds on his neck.
"I didn't expect it to be true!"
Chiyuki Shimazaki was a little excited, she also scoffed at vampires or something at first, thinking that it was just a simple way to deceive children. It's like a deceptive thing like "if you don't sleep at night, a big bad wolf will eat you". I didn't expect it to be true.
I can't help but have a higher evaluation of Kawajin Hibiki in my heart.
"Then, Brother Hibiki! Are we going to investigate this?! β
Chiyuki Shimazaki rolled up his arms and sleeves, looking like he was going to show his strength, Kawajin smiled and asked rhetorically, "Is this necessary?" β
"Huh? Isn't it necessary? β
"Of course! And no one paid us. β
"Brother Hibiki is unexpectedly cold!"
"It's called pragmatism. No one gives us money, so why bother to work hard for them! β
Yes, Kawajin is just pure curiosity. Solve the case? That's the job of a detective. Arrest the criminals? That's the job of a police officer. It has nothing to do with him.
It's just a little more to talk about when chatting with Satian tears.
For example: Hey, have you ever heard of vampires? I've heard of it! Haha, I know what's going on! Wow! That's amazing! Probably this kind of unfolding.
In this way, Kawajin continued to do it early, and anyway, he had already opened a partnership for Aya Asakawa of Asakawa, so just do a little more.
Trouble is such a thing. Or don't do it at all, if you do a little, then you feel that it doesn't matter.
If nothing else...... It was supposed to be the day to get back on track.
Kawajin continued to go out for a walk, and the others went back to their own lives. Originally, it was supposed to be like this, and everyone spent the new day safely......
However, when Kawajin returned to the living room, he found that an uninvited guest had come uninvited.
A little girl, in terms of height, is only about 140 centimeters, which is okay for a child. The golden hair was delicately tied into two ponytails and combed on the sides of the head, and the eyes as clear as amethysts were revealing pitch-black flames, burning the Kawajin Hibiki in his sight.
I heard that there is a mysterious spell in China that can kill enemies through mirror spells...... Or is it Europe? Kawajin couldn't think of it for a while, but this girl's eyes did reflect the brilliance of trying to kill someone.
Shudder.
What makes Kawajin even more terrifying is that he definitely doesn't know this person......
It is precisely because he knows what he has done and knows who she is that he is so afraid.
She was wearing a heavy green coat, which seemed a little too hot in the summer, and her forehead was slightly sweaty, and her face was ruddy because of the heat.
In the vicinity of the clothes collar, I can see some school uniforms a little.
It was Tokiwadai's school uniform, and the beige thin sweater Kawajin couldn't be mistaken, he had seen Mikoto Misaka wear it more than once.
Tokiwadai School Rules: Tokiwadai school uniforms should be worn on all occasions. However, there are loopholes in this school rule. For example, now, this girl is indeed wearing a school uniform, but she has added other clothes to the school uniform.
This girl, Kawajin remembers, this outfit is too distinctive.
She's ...... Megumi Tokieda.
Tokiwadai little detective with [coordinate positioning] ability.
The reason why she came to Kawajin, Kawajin can also guess.
Probably, it was last time.
In the Fantasy Mide incident, in order to take advantage of her ability, he casually told a lie, saying that he would give her the credit and so on.
However, this incident, in the end, there was no big report at all, and this incident was just handled as an ordinary ability rampage.
How to say it.,The people of the school city are basically used to it.,[Ability to run away] This kind of thing,Hearing this kind of statement,But I was relieved.γ
However, this also means that the god of Sichuan has broken his promise.
Now looking at the appearance of other people's teachers asking about crimes, he can only laugh awkwardly, not knowing whether to go out or not.
Go out, I don't know what to say.
Don't go out. It's useless, people are coordinated, and they can't escape at all.
And seeing that there was a pair of red goggles in front of her, he knew even more that this person must have used this condition to retrieve himself, so he definitely couldn't escape.
"Shimazaki ......"
Kawajin, who was hiding in the kitchen, dragged the fan girl next to him.
"How?"
"Can you help me deal with it?"
He pointed at Megumi Tokieda with his chin.
"Who is she? What are you here for? β
Chiyuki Shimazaki asked inexplicably.
Because of the convenience on weekdays, the gate is not locked, and anyone can come and go at will. After all, this place was originally used as an apartment building, and the door key of the apartment building was only owned by the warden, so there were only two door keys in total, and everyone felt that it didn't matter anyway, the door was open on weekdays, and anyone could enter and exit.
Now it is because of this that it breeds calamity.
"Brother Hibiki, you shouldn't be ......"
Chiyuki Shimazaki narrowed her eyes, her eyes were full of distrust, probably she thought it was some emotional entanglement.
"It's not an emotional entanglement, before ...... Well...... She helped a lot when I fantasized about Mitsute, but I didn't have anything to repay her......"
"Fantasy Mite?"
Shimazaki Chiyuki tilted her head in annoyance, and Kawajin smiled bitterly, yes, this incident was not clearly stated to the society, and she did not experience it herself, so naturally she didn't know. But now it's too cumbersome to explain.
"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. I went. β
"Huh? Brother Hibiki? β
Shimazaki Chiyuki didn't understand what was going on here, and Kawajin Hibiki had already made a heroic appearance of being sluggish and cold, striding to the living room and sitting opposite the little detective Tokiwadai.
"You, hello ......"
He struggled to suppress his wavering and smiled at her with a calm appearance.
Shi Zhihui raised her eyebrows, and the expression on her face was as contemptuous as if she were looking at insects.
"You still have the face in front of me!"
She crossed her hands in front of her, knuckles and knuckles interlocked, and with a slight turn, she made a click-click-click sound. Chuan Shen suddenly thought of the appearance of this little girl who showed no mercy to the strong man when he was desperate for the death match. The brain made up for his joints, and after being grabbed by her, he broke them tightly...... It's scary to think about.
"That...... Right, excuse me? β
He tried to apologize, but the end of the sentence was a little uplifted, giving people a taste of doubt. It's as if he's trying to get forgiveness by apologizing.
I said...... You guy, didn't you say that you were going to take me to solve the incident of the fantasy Mite! β
"Ahh......h Well, I think I said it! β
"So, why am I not here in the end?"
"Hee-hee-hee...... This, this is ...... The latest technology ...... in Lycakuen City I guess I can't explain it, right? β
Kawajin was furious by her kind of eyes like a criminal, although he has excellent psychological quality, but this time it is not a task and a job, and secondly, this is also his own sorry for others. In the end, this time it was a sudden visit, and Kawajin was not psychologically prepared at all, not even ready for prevarication, so he naturally fell into a small chaos.
"That's enough, Kawajin-senpai...... I'm here to make amends. β
Shi Zhihui pursed her lips, clasped her knuckles and knocked on the table, making a crisp thumping sound. made Chuan Shen embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly laughed: "You say, how to compensate?" β
Money? Generally speaking, compensation is all money, right? Kawajin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it was really asking for money, then it would be simple.
"A case, of course! For detectives, of course, it's a case! If you let such a big case escape from me, you have to take responsibility and find me a big case of the same level! β
Megumi Tokieda knocked on the table more often.
Chuan Shen was in a cold sweat, where did he find it?
If you tell yourself, how much money you will need, it will be easier to do. The Chinese have said that problems that can be solved with money are not big problems. However, this is not a problem that can be solved with money......
Probably it was Kawajin's troubled expression that was caught in her eyes, which made her somewhat happy. The corners of Shi Zhihui's mouth finally sent some, not a serious and disgusted expression, but now it was just a little unsmiling.
"If you can't find it, then just before finding the big case, be my assistant until the problem is solved! No problem! You're definitely responsible for your gaffes, right? β
She narrowed her eyes, there was an irrefutable oppressive force in her words, and Kawajin felt empty in her heart, and she admitted it repeatedly, nodding her head incessantly.
But in his heart, he tried to figure out if there was any way to get her done quickly. It's better to do it without much effort......
Wait a minute? A case that can be solved with little effort?
No...... Have it?
"Now, little detective! Have you heard...... Vampire Case? β
