A yellow cordon was raised outside the forest 20 kilometers away from the city of Tokyo, and several police cars were parked on the muddy road outside the crime scene.

Two officers of the Forensic Identification Division, who were at the scene for the first time, couldn't stand it anymore and threw up next to the police car, and today they were afraid that they would not have the appetite to eat lunch.

Ritsu Sasashima was wearing white gloves as he rushed towards the scene of the crime, and before he could get closer, he smelled a strong smell of blood, he looked at the police officer of the forensic division who was recording, and asked aloud, "Have you confirmed the identity of the victim?" ”

When the police officer in charge of the case arrived at the scene, the police officer of the Forensic Division hurriedly reported, "The identity of the victim has been confirmed, and he is a second-year student at Hokkaido National High School. The police department, all the belongings of the victim have been put here. ”

Ritsu Sasashima looked at the makeshift table, there were a lot of items on it, he picked up his student ID card and saw the contents on it, then frowned and said, "Why do high school students from Hokkaido appear in Tokyo, shouldn't it be the school day now?" ”

"We have already contacted the staff of Hokkaido National High School, and at the beginning of the second semester, we have organized a school trip for the second-year students. The victim, Himika Mizusawa, disappeared on September 2, and the Metropolitan Police Department has also filed a case of disappearance. ”

Was he killed on a school trip? Disappeared on September 2, the body was found on September 6... But there was no obvious smell of corpses.

"Wow-"

His thoughts were interrupted by a vomiting sound, and Ritsu Sasashima turned his head to see Wataru Takagi hurriedly running to the back outside the cordon, and sure enough, just as he expected, Takagi, who saw this vicious case for the first time, would contribute breakfast to the earth.

He didn't rush to see the state of the corpse, but after examining Mizusawa Himeka's relics, he walked over to the mutilated corpse with his back facing up.

The body was missing, and the cut of the broken neck was neat, and it could be seen that it was cut with a knife.

Ritsu Sasashima's gaze shifted downwards and landed on the victim's chest. Combined with the hunting shotgun inside the relic, it appears that it was killed by a shotgun after being hit by a shotgun, and the complete shattering of the ribs proves to be a close-range shot.

"If you can't stand it, don't look at it, don't force yourself."

Yuna Hayasaka focused her eyes on the neck as much as possible, and after hearing Onizawa's words, she stubbornly bit her lip, took a deep breath and said, "I can, such a scene will happen sooner or later, and I will be mentally prepared when I become a criminal policeman." ”

"And what if more of these corpses show up at the same time?"

"What... What do you mean? ”

Ritsu Sasashima had long been aware of Hayasaka's pale face, and he didn't even dare to look at the corpse, so that he didn't notice such an obvious difference.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the victim's right hand and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you find the stitches on your right hand?" And each finger comes from a different person, with a different degree of corruption. ”

Yuna Hayasaka was stunned when she heard this, she lowered her head and looked at the victim's right hand, only to find that the five fingers were all stitched up, the degree of corruption of the thumb is the most exaggerated, and the degree of corruption of the tail finger is the smallest, and judging from the structure of the finger bones... This tail finger should not belong to women.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, she clenched her fists in disbelief and said, "So... At least five more corpses? ”

"Well, this case is extraordinary, and we have to ask the Metropolitan Police Department to send police dogs to assist in the investigation." Ritsu Sasashima stood up, scarlet eyes half-squinted, looking into the depths of the forest... The dampness in the forest after the rain makes the earthy smell worse.

Hopefully, the evidence hasn't been washed away by the rain, and the rest of the body is probably buried somewhere in the forest.

"There is no need to contact the Metropolitan Police Department, the body has been found."

This familiar voice made Ritsu Sasashima look stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar face, he really didn't expect him to appear here. The previous cases were not so big that they needed this ace of the forensic class, and if they were vicious cases, could they see him?

The black medium-length hair is tied in a small braid at the ends, and the slightly long bangs cover the black blindfold on the right eye. Wearing white gloves on his hands and a light blue shirt with the cuffs lifted, six years was enough time for him to recover from skin grafting.

During the tomb sweep in February, Ritsu Sasashima couldn't see their appearance clearly to avoid sight, but now he can meet them again as Akami Izawa. Shouldn't I be grateful, if it weren't for Rum's plan, I wouldn't have changed my identity and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department openly.

"You're Officer Hagiwara, the ace of the forensics section?"

Kenji Hagiwara pulled out a small tin box containing strawberry-flavored chewing gum. After the explosion accident six years ago, he successfully quit smoking, but it saved a lot of money.

"I can't call it a trump card, but I know your prestige in the Onizawa Police Department."

"Oh?"

Kenji Hagiwara still showed a hearty smile as before, took off his white gloves and put the gum in his mouth, and said as he chewed: "Your solving rate is very high, and the only case that has not been solved is the wolf of rice flowers... It's a pity, it's almost a 100% crime solving rate. ”

The case of the wolf of the rice flower. Is it a suspicion of yourself to bring it up? Kenji Hagiwara, who had long heard about the forensic class, had a habit of going through the files, and it seemed that he thought he had a problem with the handling of this case.

Or is it the same as before, this keen insight... I'm afraid I want to study myself thoroughly.

"Thanks for the compliment, but now is not the time to be polite."

"Well, the Onizawa Police Department, please come with me." Kenji Hagiwara was about to lead the way, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Yuna Hayasaka, and said with a smile: "Little Hayasaka, you better not go, I'm afraid you'll have nightmares at night!" ”

Yuna Hayasaka hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to compromise. If you follow Ghost Ze Chong's analysis, I am afraid that several other corpses will also be mutilated, and it is the first time she has come into contact with this kind of case, and she is indeed a little unbearable.

"I didn't expect you to be quite gentle." After walking a few meters away, Ritsu Sasashima took the initiative to talk.

"You really have to be gentle with girls, otherwise you will become unpopular." Kenji Hagiwara stretched out his hand and patted Onizawa's shoulder, chuckling, "But you're an exception, being handsome can make up for that!" ”

Ritsu Sasashima didn't know how to answer for a while, whether to be humble or accept the compliment, but this guy was obviously beating around the bush and accusing himself of not having high emotional intelligence and being ungentle with girls.

Just as he was pondering the words, a strong smell of corpses wafted in. Ritsu Sasashima frowned and looked at the corpses that had been cut out, and it was really the same as he thought, and the heads of the five corpses were gone.

"The five bodies were all found under this tree, and the murderer did not care when he buried them, and the burial was very shallow." Kenji Hagiwara explained.

"Can you identify them?" Ritsu Sasashima asked.

"The identities of two people can be basically determined, they have library cards from the library of Dongdu University, and they can be identified as long as they check the female students who have not been to school for a week or so." Kenji Hagiwara sighed heavily, vicious cases are always something that the criminal police are unwilling to face, and he reached out again and patted Onizawa's shoulder, which can be regarded as comfort.

"I'll leave it to you, my mission has been completed, don't let me down, Onizawa Police Department."

Ritsu Sasashima looked at the five headless corpses, the tip of her tongue pressed against the sharp tiger teeth, almost squeezing out between the teeth.

"I'll find out, and I won't let that guy run away."

"Well, come on."
