Episode.2 Hiiragi - Oblivion (Part 2)
[Thank you for the reward of 'Second Yuan is My Home', 'Ghost Night' and 'Earth Jun' local tyrants!] Thank you for the commuter pass of 'Earth-kun' and 'Jun-kun'! The latter's ID is a little subtle~]
[Then, this volume will be very frustrating and suspicious of death...... Be prepared...... By the way, ask for a count! 】
Seize that moment, which moment? Of course, it refers to the moment when the truth is seen clearly, but for the three people present, such a moment has long ceased to exist.
This is the scene of the crime, Nangong Hiiragi, Ara Ryagi, and Battlefield Hara Heiyi all arrived after the crime, and there is very little information that can be collected.
Judging by the information obtained so far, Hiiragi only knows that this is a reasoning game, and the ultimate goal is to figure out the purpose of the deceased girl in front of him.
It's hard for anyone to understand the current situation, right? Even if he said that he wanted to find out the purpose of the girl, there were really too few clues provided......
Besides, this is not a closed room murder case, and it is impossible to determine who the criminal is, so let alone further investigation.
"Araragi-kun, do you have a mobile phone? If you have a mobile phone, call the police now, tell the police the location of the victim, and then we will leave the place. ”
"Huh? It's okay to call the police, but ah, Battlefield Hara, what is the reason for us leaving? ”
"Did you forget to bring your brain when you went out today? Araragi-kun. ”
"I carry it every day."
"Oh?"
Battlefield Hara had a surprised expression, an obvious mockery.
"Since we have brains, please think about it, we are only the second or third discoverers at the scene of the crime, and we don't know any other information and clues, so what's the point of staying here to be interrogated by the police? It's going to be exams in the near future, right? Is it okay not to review? ”
"Review is definitely needed, at this point, I can only ask you and Hanekawa, but we met a victim who was killed, and it doesn't feel good to leave like this."
"We didn't know much about it before, but it was limited to 'before the killing', 'during the killing', and 'during the killing'. We all know the rest of the 'killing results', and the person in front of us is the prisoner. ”
There's no chance to interject.,Just being accused of being a prisoner again.,Hiiragi also thought about how to refute.。
Not to mention that there is a certain chance that he will be mistaken for a criminal by his actions just now. Just being the first to arrive at the scene and get a knife with your hand is enough to be proof.
Unfortunately, the fingerprints of a person named 'Nangong Hiiragi' have been left on it.
Since you don't exist in this world, fingerprint surveys are meaningless, right?
Actions that don't make sense, actions that can't be proven, Hiiragi also has a certain advantage in this regard.
Besides.
Hiiragi also thought of a reason to prove his innocence......
"Looks like you've all misunderstood something. Because I, like you, approached the victim after seeing her for examination. ”
"Your last words are still explanatory, are you saying that your presence here was also an accident?"
"Exactly, it's great that you can understand that."
"I understand, you want to use the accident as an explanation to excuse yourself."
Battlefield Yuan tilted his head and pointed to the corpse that was still lying there, rightfully immovable
"The moment Ararakagi-kun and I saw you, you had the weapon in your hand to kill the victim. His trouser legs were stained with blood, and he looked panicked when he saw us. ”
"That's just normal people, and don't you notice? The victim's blood has clotted, and after humans lose their lives, their blood will clot in thirty minutes, and now it's about summer, so it's going to slow down a little bit, and the blood will have clotted by the time you bump into me, which means ......"
Wrong. Araragi looked at the sky
"It's the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the temperature is a little colder than before, and even the 'Red Leaves Front' has appeared, so what this little brother wants to say is. This girl was dead before you arrived, right? ”
"Yes, yes, can you let me go now? ...... to death."
Not only the left hand, but also the right hand is in a state of distortion, and the lack of congestion leads to some paralysis and soreness.
Araragi let go of Hiiragi's hand. This made Battlefield Hara sigh.
It's night, and there aren't many people on the road itself, so it will take some time to be spotted by other passers-by.
"I didn't expect to take a shortcut but ran into this problem, and when I thought of the 'Red Leaf Frontline' in Ara Liangjun's mouth just now, I couldn't help but think of the maple leaves of the Kamihara family."
Blood-red, or, rather, somewhat light red maple leaves.
Incidentally, Japan's 'Autumn Foliage Front' is located in Hokkaido, Japan, and gradually moves south to the Kyushu region as the temperature drops, and is roughly distributed in the mountains and rivers and gardens of various places.
Since there was nothing to be gained by talking about it here, the crowd decided to call the police first.
Hiiragi didn't have a mobile phone, and the battlefield didn't seem to have it with him, so this task naturally fell on Ara Ryoki.
After calling the police and telling the specific location, Ara Rayoki put away his mobile phone, glanced at the victim, and folded his hands in silence.
Imitating Ara Ryogi's movements, Hiiragi also folded his hands.
"You...... Why are you here? ”
"Oh, just call me Nangong, if you want to say the reason for coming here, it's actually to go to the convenience store over there to buy things, but I forgot to bring money, so I only chose to go back, and finally ......"
Touching this victim, this is what Hiiragi didn't say either.
Araragi nodded, and he turned to leave, walking with Battlefield Hara towards the street on the right outside the alley.
Since there is no definite destination, Hiiragi has no choice but to follow them.
Anyway, in the eyes of this couple, they are a young man with nothing to do.
In terms of age, he is a year older than them, so he can be called 'Ernie sauce'.
At this time, a siren sounded nearby, and it seemed that the police who reported it had arrived at the scene.
But only a minute later, Araryogi's cell phone rang, and this time Hiiragi also heard the voice of the police on the phone.
[You're the one who just reported our case, right?] We arrived at the scene you mentioned, and there were no victims at all, not even blood. Pranks should be done in moderation! We've had a lot of cases lately! 】
"Huh? But! ”
Didi ......
The other party hung up the phone directly, and Ara Ryoki was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the street behind him.
"Speaking of Ara Liangmujun, your convenience bag is still there."
"That's not the point!"
Be the first to walk towards the alley where you just stopped. Hiiragi didn't hesitate and answered the scene of the crime just now.
Back to the scene of the crime? That's a bit wrong......
Because there was a girl's body in the place just now, it was considered the scene of the crime, but at this moment, in the alley, there are only some abandoned boxes and wine bottles. Nothing beyond that.
The blood is gone.
Obviously, whether it is rice water or sulfur soap, it is impossible to remove all the blood stains so easily.
"Nothing left......"
"Even the convenience bag was taken away......"
"What is that?"
Battlefield Yuan calmly squatted down and picked up the can that had fallen to the ground.
"Canned chocolate? Is there such an amazing thing in the city's supermarkets? ”
"I don't know, but this is something that my sister designated, maybe it's a new breed."
After answering Battlefield Hara's question, Araragi looked at Hiiragi.
"That...... Mr. Nangong, this is where we just stayed, right? ”
"Yes, but it's completely changed......"
"No, that's what it was supposed to be, but what really changed was the girl's corpse."
"All in all. The corpses and blood mysteriously disappeared. ”
Even the dagger that Hiiragi pulled out just now disappeared for no reason.
Cause? Unknown.
Reason? Unknown.
It's like going back in time, and the original chaotic state is restored, and the ailment is removed.
This 'anomaly' includes the girl's corpse, blood, and Araragi's convenience bag.
"It's called Nangong, right? Mr. Nangong, when you arrived here, did you find any anomalies? Because neither I nor Araragi have ever had any exact contact with that girl's relationship, have you touched anywhere? Chest? Thigh? Neck? ”
"What's the deal with the first two options? I've touched my neck, but there's no sign of being alive. ”
"The possibility of suspended animation has been ruled out."
Araragi walked to the place where the girl had been, where there were a few pieces of waste paper, and the red blood stains seemed to be long gone.
"Even if it's fake death. It's impossible to sweep away the blood so easily, we only leave this place in five minutes, and in five minutes we can clean up the crime scene and restore it to the original state, can humans do it? ”
At the same time as making this hypothesis yourself. Araragi fell silent.
Humans can't do it.
What humans can't do, weirdness can do......
"Weird, isn't it?"
Hearing Hiiragi's soliloquy to himself, both Battlefield Hara and Ara Ryoki looked at Hiiragi with serious eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, because I have some research on weirdness, and I've gotten a lot of weirdness from my predecessors before."
"Something to do with weirdness. Knowledge ......"
Araragi repeated, glancing at the scene that was still full of blood.
"It's unfolding like this again......"
Anyway, Hiiragi can already confirm that the goal this time is to figure out the purpose of the weird girl.
But where do you start?
The girl has disappeared, and it can be said that all information has been cut off.
"It's not broken."
Kindness?
Outside the alley, a young girl's voice rang out.
Sudden, abrupt, very unusual.
Looking over there, it was a pure white girl.
Sitting in a wheelchair, he said this with a big smile
"The real clues weren't here from the beginning."
The girl's voice drowned Hiiragi, and the vibrating eardrums began to scream, and the feeling of vomiting hit the whole body.
Hey? Who is she?
The memories are a little ambiguous, but they can't be forgotten......
"We'll meet again, Koya." (To be continued.) )
