While Wakadie served tea to the Twilight Police Department and Officer Sato, Chiya took the file bag handed by the Twilight Police Department and pulled out a stack of files, each with a photo of the victim on the cover.

Qianye looked at it silently, until she saw a photo of a young policewoman on the cover of one of the files. Qianye picked up the file and asked the Twilight Police Department, "What is this?" ”

When the Twilight Police Department saw the photo on the file in Qianye's hand, his eyes turned red, and his tone also revealed grief and indignation: "This is a police officer from our search class, a kind-hearted girl. In order to catch the murderer, he volunteered to be used as a bait to lure the murderer to appear, but he didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, the twilight police department covered her face and said with a little choked up: "By the time we found her, she had fallen in a pool of blood, her abdomen was torn open, and her liver was taken away by the murderer." At that time, she was not dead at the time, and she said a "き" with her last breath and died, and we have no way of analyzing what she wanted to say. Mr. Chiba, if you can help us, please make sure that I can catch the murderer with my own hands and give these victims justice! With that, the Twilight Police Department once again touched his forehead to the floor and made a big salute to Chiya, and Officer Sato on the side also saluted Chiya like the Twilight Police Department.

Chiya put down the file and said to the Twilight Police Department and Officer Sato, "You two, please get up, you don't need such a big gift." I already have some clue about this. ”

"Really?" The Twilight Police Department and Officer Sato suddenly raised their heads and looked at Chiya with a look of hope.

Qianye nodded, pointed to the file with his finger and said, "Judging from the fact that the victim's abdomen was torn and the murderer took away the liver, it is likely that the perpetrator was the demon fox." ”

The faces of the Twilight Police Department and Officer Sato showed shocked expressions, and they asked in disbelief, "Demon fox?" How is this possible? Are there really youkai in this world? ”

Chiya looked at the unbelievable Twilight Police Department and Officer Sato, smiled and said, "Youkai have lived in this land since ancient times. The Heian era is an era of coexistence between shemales. It was a well-known fact that the day belonged to humans and the night belonged to demons, and the big monsters had no scruples about causing trouble to the world. Monsters have never left us, they live in this world, but you have not found it. ”

When Officer Sato heard Chiya say this, he suddenly interjected with excitement: "Is it true that the legend that Minamoto Yorimitsu killed the wine swallowing boy in the Great River Mountain, Watanabe Tsunade cut off the arm of the Ibaraki boy, and the great onmyoji Abe Harumi captured Tamamo before the story is true?" ”

Qianye looked at Officer Sato inexplicably, and asked in a strange tone, "Officer Sato, what do you think is true and what is false?" If you're asking if these stories really happened, I can tell you that these things did. But if you want to ask if these things are as recorded in the legends, I can only say that the legends may not be credible. ”

Senya's words made Officer Sato a little confused, and the Twilight Police Department on the side interrupted Officer Sato and asked Chiya, "Mr. Chiba, how are you sure it's a demon fox?" ”

Qianye opened the file and pointed to a photo of one of the victims' corpses and said to the Twilight Police Department, "I like to eat raw liver, which is a unique habit of demon foxes. In addition, the policewoman she just said was 'き' before she died, and the pronunciation of the fox is exactly 'きつね'. ”

After listening to Qianye's explanation, the Twilight Police Department suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "Is this the case? Matsuda, did she finally leave a clue with her life...... Then Mr. Chiba, how can I catch the demon fox? After saying that, the Twilight Police Department looked at Qianye with burning eyes.

"It's not a regular behavior for demon foxes to hunt and eat raw liver." Qianye didn't directly answer the question of the Twilight Police Department, but explained the habits of the demon fox: "Raw liver is a source of mana for the demon fox, not a necessary food. And usually, demon foxes are more likely to tempt men to hunt raw liver. In this case, the predation of the girl's liver will only occur when the demon fox needs to accumulate a lot of mana to grow a new fox tail. Judging from the number of victims, the mana required by this demon fox is very huge, I am afraid that it is not an ordinary demon fox, and it is even more capable of being an enemy of extraordinary people, so I do not recommend that you rashly become an enemy of it. ”

Hearing Qianye's words, the Twilight Police Department gritted its teeth and said indignantly: "Is it just to let this demon fox do whatever it wants and kill more innocent people?" Speaking of this, the Twilight Police Department suddenly stared at Chiya and asked, "Mr. Chiba, you are an onmyoji, right?" You're a very capable onmyoji, right? ”

Qianye seemed to anticipate what the Twilight Police Department wanted to say, smiled and asked him, "Twilight Police Department, do you want Zai Xia to arrest this demon fox?" If I make a move, your Metropolitan Police Department will be a joke, right? I couldn't catch the criminal, so I found an onmyoji to come out and said that it was a monster who was causing trouble. The uninformed public would speculate like this, right? ”

The Twilight Police Department looked at Qianye with a serious face, and said to him, "Mr. Chiba, if you can subdue this demon fox, please make a move." Even if the Metropolitan Police Department becomes a laughing stock, it is better than letting the demon fox continue to cause chaos and more innocent people will be harmed. Speaking of this, the Twilight Police Department seemed to have made up its mind: "Let me bear all the consequences and responsibilities arising from this." ”

Looking at the Twilight Police Department in front of him, Qianye seemed to be moved by his spirit, thought for a moment and asked, "The Twilight Police Department seems to have practiced kendo?" ”

The Twilight Police Department didn't know why Chiya asked, but she still replied, "I joined the kendo club when I was in high school, and I didn't give up practicing after becoming a police officer, and I just got the qualification for the sixth dan of kendo some time ago. ”

"I didn't expect the Twilight Police Department to be a kendo master." Chiya nodded at the answer of the Twilight Police Department, and said to Ruodie, "Ruodie, go and bring the 'ghost cut'." ”

The Twilight Police Department was a little confused, so he asked Chiya, "Mr. Chiba, who are you?" ”

Qianye looked at the Twilight Police Department and explained, "There is still a prayer ceremony to be presided over tomorrow, and I can't take time to assist Officer Twilight in capturing the demon fox." But in order to prevent the demon fox from continuing to make trouble, I can still provide you with some help. ”

When the Twilight Police Department heard that Qianye couldn't withdraw for the time being, it was difficult to hide the look of disappointment on his face, but he was still a little comforted to hear that Qianye was willing to provide some help.

Officer Sato asked excitedly, "Is the 'Oni Kiri' that Mr. Chiba just mentioned the famous knife that cut off the arm of the Ibaraki boy recorded in the legend?" ”

"That's right, it's the famous knife that Watanabe Tsunade relied on to cut off the arm of the ghost god Ibaraki Boy at the Gojo Ferry - 'Oni Cut'." Chiya confirmed Officer Sato's suspicions and explained to the Twilight Police Department, "'Onikiri' once cut off the arm of the Ibaraki boy, so it has the power to fight demons. You take it with you, and if you encounter a demon fox, 'Ghost Cut' will naturally send a warning. With your strength in the Twilight Police Department, as long as you don't fight hard with the demon fox, it won't be a problem to fight off the demon fox with the help of 'Ghost Cut'. Stay here and take a break, and then capture this demon fox completely. ”

Hearing Chiya say this, the Twilight Police Department hurriedly thanked Chiya and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Chiba, you have helped us a lot." ”

"Where, as an onmyoji, sitting in Tokyo, it is the responsibility of the next to prevent demons from harming the world. I didn't find out that the demon fox was messing around, and it was already an oversight below. Qianye said modestly.

At this time, Ruodie walked in with a long wooden box with a charm attached to it, and placed the wooden box in front of Qianye.

Chiya reached out and removed the charm and opened the wooden box, which contained a dark blue brocade sword pouch tied with red rope. Chiya reached out and untied the red rope and pulled out a black-handled Katana from the sword pouch. Chiya took the Oni Cut and said to the Twilight Police Department, "'Oni Cut', formerly known as Mustache Cut, is one of the two famous knives that Gen Manchu used to defend the world, and the other famous knife knee cut is a pair. Later, the two knives passed into Minamoto Yorimitsu's hands, and he handed over the mustache cut to Tsunade Watanabe. Legend has it that Tsunade Watanabe used a mustache to cut off the wrist of the oni god Ibaraki Boy at the Gojo Ferry, so the mustache cut was called 'Oni Kiri', and later Kiso Yoshinaka used 'Oni Kiri' to kill ghosts in Togakure Mountain. It can be said that Onikiri is a famous knife that represents the protection and slaying of demons. Dusk Police Department, I hope you don't insult this famous knife. After saying that, he handed the 'Oni Cut' to the Dusk Police Department.

The Twilight Police Department hurriedly took over the world-famous knife with both hands, held it in his hand, and after carefully looking at it, he held the famous knife tightly, but he still asked Qianye with some uncertainty: "Mr. Chiba, with this knife, can you really fight against the demon fox?" ”

Qianye nodded and said: "'Ghost Cut' is psychic, and it will warn when it encounters demons." And for demons, 'Oni Cut' is a knife that can easily cut off the body of a demon. ”

Although the Twilight Police Department still had some doubts in their hearts, they looked at Chiya's burning eyes and held the famous knife "Oni Kiri" in their hands, and finally chose to believe Chiya.

"Then we'll take our leave, take the liberty of bothering, and ask Mr. Chiba for your forgiveness." After putting away the "Oni Cut", the Twilight Police Department said goodbye to Senya with Officer Sato.

"I'm not far away, please be careful with everything and don't fight hard with the demon fox." Qianye told the Twilight Police Department.

After the Twilight Police Department and Officer Sato left, Wakadie stood behind Chiya and asked, "Master, why did you lend 'Ghost Cut'?" ”

Qianye's eyes were a little fluttering, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Ruodie, do you think that demon fox needs to hunt the raw livers of more than a dozen girls at one time?" ”

Ruodie thought for a moment and replied: "Except for Lord Yuzao who was sealed by his master in the past and Lord Yuzao who was captured and killed by his master and Lord Qingming, I'm afraid that no demon fox will need such a huge amount of mana, master, are you worried?" ”

"It's been 400 years." Qianye's eyes looked into the distance, and there seemed to be nostalgia and worry in his eyes.
