Chapter 074: A Trip That Says Go
"What's the matter, Officer Kube?"
Kosuke Kitagawa felt a tightness in his heart, but his face did not show any abnormality, and calmly stuffed his phone into his pocket and looked directly at Officer Kube's gaze.
"Do you remember that last time those gangsters from the Miike group also died by the sword?"
"Miike group? Officer Kube, what do you mean that the murderer in these two cases is the same person? Kosuke Kitagawa had been with Officer Kube for two years, and he guessed his thoughts at once.
"It's possible, but it's not certain."
Trying to find Kato's killer in the mighty Tokyo Metropolitan is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but if you can find out his usual range of activities, it will be much easier to find out.
"From this point of view, the people who died at the hands of this person were all murderers who committed many crimes, not innocent people." This Kato is a thug on the blacklist of the Paranormal Crime Investigation Bureau, who has been involved in many violent crimes, and has even tortured and killed ordinary people.
Although there are not a few players who died at the hands of Su Cheng, they are all people who should be killed.
"Anyway, this person must be found as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Officer Kube looked at Kosuke Kitagawa's back with an expression of uncertainty on his face.
The bait has been released, and the next thing is to wait for the big fish to take the bait.
At the express hotel a kilometer away from the murder scene, a mature woman who escaped from under Su Cheng's nose appeared in the hotel room.
"I didn't expect that even Kato was not his opponent, what is the origin of that man." Her face showed a look of fear, if it weren't for the special props that she had a hidden aura, she was afraid that she would have gone to hell with Kato.
With this lesson, even if she was given a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to do anything in front of Su Cheng.
Just then, a long shadow leaked through the crack in the door.
The woman only felt a cold in her chest, and her plump chest was torn open, but strangely there was not a drop of blood flowing out of the wound.
The horror spread throughout her body, and the woman's eyes widened in horror.
On her chest, a black flower bloomed with the smell of death.
"Flowers on the other side!"
The woman's eyes revealed fear and despair, the skin on her body withered quickly like a withered flower, and the whole person seemed to age dozens of years in an instant.
……
"The bus to Yamanashi is about to depart, so please fasten your seat belts."
The soft and sweet voice came from the bus radio, Su Cheng put away his luggage, found a place by the window and sat down, and took a magazine in his hand.
After solving Kato's troubles, his life returned to peace, and there were no suspicious people around him these days, and no police came looking for him.
Strangely, there was no news on the news about Kato's case, as if nothing had happened.
Su Cheng speculated that someone on the police side might have concealed the case, not wanting to cause panic among ordinary people.
As for whether the police will investigate him, Su Cheng is not too worried.
Kato destroyed all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity in order to eliminate the evidence of the crime, leaving no useful clues. The police shouldn't have been able to find him so easily, and what worries him is the woman who has escaped.
At this time, a news feed pops up on the phone screen.
"The day before yesterday, a fire broke out in an express hotel, resulting in the death of a woman......" Su Cheng's eyes fell on the photo of the deceased before his death, and his face suddenly changed.
The female deceased was the woman in black who fled from under his nose that day, and the time of her death was in the early hours of the same day.
Coincidence, or conspiracy?
In Su Cheng's opinion, this accident is strange everywhere, the rooms of this express hotel are wooden structures, and once the room catches fire, the fire will spread in the shortest possible time. Oddly enough, the fire seemed to only burn down the room where the woman was, and the fire was quickly extinguished.
And that woman is also a player of a horror game, and her physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, how could she die in the room so easily.
By all indications, the woman most likely died of murder.
It's just that this murder case is related to Su Cheng?
"Maybe that woman provoked a powerful enemy, not necessarily related to me." Su Cheng rubbed his temples and cut off all kinds of distracting thoughts.
There have been so many things that have happened lately that I can't help but feel a little nervous.
So, Su Cheng took advantage of the school holiday to arrange a trip for himself to relax his tense nerves.
Mainly because Ryosuke Araki gave him an experience voucher of a local 100-year-old homestay, and he can stay at the homestay for free for one night.
Two hours later, Su Cheng got off the bus in Yamanashi Prefecture and followed the guidance of the navigation to an ancient village near Yamanashi Prefecture.
By the time he arrived at the village by car, it was completely dark, the village was sparsely populated, and he had walked for a long time without meeting a single person.
Walk down a deserted country street lined with ordinary two-story houses. These houses are made of wooden and look old.
"That B&B should be near here, why don't you see the signboard?"
As night fell, the dim street lamp shone on Su Cheng, pulling out a long black shadow behind him.
At this time, a mist suddenly drifted away, as if to clothe the village with a hazy veil. The cold breeze blew on Su Cheng's neck, like a pair of cold hands caressing his neck.
"Where have all the people in the village gone, and they can't find anyone to ask for directions."
As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, he happened to see a rickety old woman walking slowly on crutches under the street lamp in front of him. From behind, the old woman was short and full of silver hair, and she looked very old. Due to the inconvenience of the legs and feet, the walking speed is slow.
This old woman should be an old man in the village, and she must know where the homestay Su Cheng is looking for is.
So, Su Cheng chased over to the old woman and asked, "Old woman, may I ask which direction is the long-lived hut?" ”
At this moment, the old woman's face turned.
Under the dim streetlight, he saw the old woman with a cat's face......
"Staying in a cottage for a long time? Turn left and go a hundred meters ahead. Due to her age, the cat-faced old woman spoke very slowly, but she was still very patient to show Su Cheng the way.
Su Cheng was cold, and he couldn't bear to show any unusual emotions.
"Thank you."
If the identity of the cat-faced old woman is revealed at this time, or she is very frightened, she is afraid that she will encounter some unexpected horror incidents.
Although this cat-faced old woman was eccentric, Su Cheng didn't feel any malice in her.
"Kid, you're going to stay in the cottage?" The cat-faced old woman squinted, her blue-green pupils refracting an eerie glow in the night.
"Uh, what's the problem?"
Looking at the expression of this old woman, it seems that there is something strange in this homestay?
The cat-faced old woman shook her head and said nothing, and continued to walk forward on crutches.
Su Cheng walked a few steps past the old woman, suddenly realized something, turned around and saw that the old woman was gone.
With the speed at which she walked, it was impossible for her to disappear behind Su Cheng so quickly.
The atmosphere in the village is becoming more and more eccentric.
But by this time, the bus back was gone, and he had to stay here for one night.
Five minutes later, Su Cheng found the long-lived cottage with his luggage.
From the outside, the Kuju cottage looks like an ordinary Japanese-style single-family house, with a courtyard in front of it with a persimmon tree and wildflowers plucked from the nearby mountains.
This B&B looks very sophisticated and comfortable, and if you are close to the bustling attractions, there will definitely be many tourists who choose to stay here.
But in this desolate village, there are not many guests.
"Is anyone there? I'm a guest who made a reservation today. Su Cheng rang the doorbell outside a few times, and soon a young woman with beautiful hair in a bun walked out of the homestay.
"Sorry, I forgot to call you in the kitchen just now to give you directions, please come in first."
The young woman opened the door with an apologetic face and led Su Cheng through the courtyard to the entrance.
Su Cheng noticed that the proprietress should be less than thirty years old, tall and tall in traditional clothes, and her appearance was not very stunning at first glance, but between her eyebrows was a faint mature and charming style.
Because of the experience just now, Su Cheng couldn't help but look at the proprietress a few more times, and was sure that she was a living person and not some bull ghost snake god, and he was immediately relieved.
It's good not to be a ghost, otherwise you have to be on guard against being attacked by ghosts at night when you sleep at night.
"You sit in the living room for a while, and I'll clean the room right away." The proprietress didn't seem to notice Su Cheng's strange gaze, and left the living room on tiptoe.
Su Cheng walked around the living room for a while, and suddenly a ball played by a child rolled at his feet.
"Brother, can you play with me for a while?" An ethereal voice sounded in the corner of the living room, and Su Cheng saw a child about five or six years old looking at him timidly in the living room.
This child has black hair and black eyes, looks very cute, and looks no different from ordinary boys.
It's just that he feels lonely and lonely in this child, who seems to be eager to play with people.
Su Cheng's heart moved, picked up the ball and handed it to the child, rubbing his cold face, "Brother has something to do now, I will play with you later." ”
The child nodded obediently, took out a persimmon from his pocket and handed it to Su Cheng, and said expectantly, "Thank you, brother, Mrs. Yuan is waiting for you upstairs." ”
Yuan Tai happily beckoned to Su Cheng, ran out of the living room and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Su Cheng sat cross-legged in the living room and watched TV boringly, and put the persimmon on the table.
At this time, a noisy laughter came from the corridor, and Su Cheng saw seven young men and women who looked like tourists walking into the living room.
"You're also a guest at this guesthouse, right? I'm Daisuke Miyazaki, please advise. ”
Among these people, a fat man with black-rimmed glasses sat down next to Su Cheng, picked up a ripe persimmon from the table and brought it to his mouth.
Click.
As soon as he took a bite, thick juice flowed down the corners of his mouth.
It's just that instead of juice, it's crimson blood......
