Evening, Twilight Town.

The place where the cordon has been pulled up, and the third team of the investigation team has taken over here, closely surveying everything at the scene of the crime.

Two streets away from the cordon, a young man in his thirties walked in front of him with slippers, his face full of signs of drunkenness and staying up late, his clothes sloppy, and his face full of impatience.

He was followed by an old woman in her fifties, wearing a shabby single dress in the cold wind of late autumn, babbling about something.

"I'm sick of it! You shut up!!! ”

Suddenly, the sloppy young man turned around suddenly, and roared with a fierce beast on his face full of anger: "How many times have you said it, can't you take out your pension and help me pay back the money first?" Would it be nice to let those debt collectors make your only son look like a rat? Is there a mother like you in the world? ”

The old woman was yelled at for a while, and said cautiously, "That pension is your father's hospitalization money, Mrs. Long, mother must be... Be sure to make money as soon as possible to help you pay off your gambling debts. ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and took out an old wallet from her pocket, and took out more than 2,000 yuan of scattered money, with guilt and apology on her face.

"Mom is old and has no education, this is the money Mom earned from working at an izakaya this week, you take it first, eat something hot at night when it's cold, you can't always eat cold when you have a bad stomach, don't go to the casino again."

The young man snatched the money, counted it in his hand, clapped his hand and stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a sneer: "Heh... If I don't give it a go, what will I pay back? Just because you're washing dishes at an izakaya? It takes eight lifetimes to pay back the money! Don't you see how fierce those debt collectors are? ”

"I see that you are just hoping that I will not be beaten to death on the street, so that you can be freed as soon as possible!" In the end, his tone was full of incompetent rage of resentment!

Bad luck, bad luck!

Forget about luck!

I can't help at home.

Life is really unlucky!

The more he thought about it and left, the more angry he became, and he slammed over the roadside trash can.

Behind her, the old woman stood stunned, her lonely face opening her mouth to explain something.

But in the face of the reality of no money,

It seems that they are all so pale and weak.

But in the next second, there seemed to be exclamations from other pedestrians on the side of the road.

I saw the young man who was walking in front and was full of resentment, and at some point his face suddenly became a little sluggish.

With a blinding red light on the sign in front of him, he stepped onto the street with a moving truck speeding down the corner from the ramen shop.

The moment she heard the exclamation, the old woman raised her head with difficulty, and her cloudy pupils suddenly lost focus.

"Ryota !!"

Bang!

In the next moment, the screeching sound of brakes and the sound of the front of the car hitting a heavy object sounded almost simultaneously.

Whew!

As if the young man who had broken free from a nightmare stumbled suddenly and hit the red lamppost on the other side of the road, and before he could come back to his senses, a nameless fire suddenly broke out in his heart!

"Which bastard dares to ......"

He was about to curse something, but the moment he turned his head came to an abrupt end.

The whole person froze in place as if struck by lightning, his mouth opened involuntarily, and he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry, and the exclamations of the surrounding passers-by and the words of the moving truck driver to him after hurrying down all disappeared from his ears.

In a pool of blood on the side of the road at sunset, a slender old woman lay on the ground, her eyes closed, and her gray hair was dyed red with red blood gushing from the back of her neck.

In the flash of light, he reacted to what had just happened - he was hit by the speeding moving truck in a moment of life and death,

There is a person,

Pushed himself from behind.

"Mom..."

He opened his mouth like a thirsty fish, but found that he could not even shout the simplest syllable, and his eyes instantly turned red.

......

Diagonally across the road, in the crowd of onlookers.

"It's a pity."

The gray masked snake watched all this silently, and secretly snorted in his heart.

"The Holy Lord should prefer young souls and blood, but at this time, it is impossible to pursue perfection, it is good to be able to meet the needs of conception."

Thinking of this, the snake returned to staring back at the pool of dark golden blood on the side of the road, which had been plated with dark golden blood by the setting sun.

The old and frail woman just now, obviously just an ordinary ordinary person, was able to burst out with thrilling speed and power at that moment.

Such a blood food...

The Holy Lord should be satisfied, right?

He thought so.

......

Three minutes later...

The blockaded intersection of Twibetsu-cho.

The captain of the third team, Rin Nishirin, received the notice, and his face suddenly darkened.

He was surveying the scene at the tram intersection and never imagined that the tram had been suspended, and that such an accident would happen again under their noses two streets away.

"Damn! These bastards are so arrogant! ”

"Are you provoking us?"

“......”

The faces of the people in the third team were not good-looking.

Although judging from the news that came back, it seems that the son left in anger after a mother and son had an argument on the road, and was pushed away by his mother when he was hit by a car, but his mother was killed.

It sounds like it's just a tragedy brewed by a traffic accident, but everyone present is a superpower, so they naturally know that behind this series of coincidences is definitely not that simple.

At this time, the silent Nishirin Chitetsu was thinking about the same problem as Higashinohara.

Plotting a fake suicide case.

From two or three a year, there are now three in three days..... The guys seemed to be getting more and more anxious, as if they were about to get close to some kind of goal.

But their purpose...

What exactly?

Unable to figure it out, Xirin Chitetsu felt a little bored in his heart, always feeling that something was about to happen, and it was likely to happen under his nose.

But I don't know what to do.

At this time, there was a cumulonimbus cloud like a mountain surge overhead, and occasionally a pale electric python swept through the dark clouds, and there was a faint thunder in the distant sky.

"What do we do next?" The vice-captain Yu Ogami couldn't help but step forward and ask.

After a moment of silence, Nishirin Chitetsu looked at the cherry blossoms blooming around the tram intersection in Twibetsu-cho, which may be about to wither after this autumn rain, and frowned:

"The murderers behind the murder of these suicides have been at this intersection for so long, and even when we sealed it off again, they chose it not far away...

Do you really think this is a provocation? ”

The deputy captain was stunned for a moment, and pondered, "If it's not a provocation, it means that this intersection has any special significance to the murderer behind the scenes, but what would it be?" ”

"I don't know."

Xirin Chitetsu shook his head, and said with a slight narrowing of his eyes:

"But judging from the urgency of the murderer, it may not be long before we know the truth, and today the entire Sanban team is working overtime to guard this crossroads."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the media reporters who were not far away and watched the long guns and short cannons flying away, frowned and said, "Inform the colleagues of the search section to cordon off the surroundings tonight, and no pedestrians are allowed to approach, especially those reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”

"It's the captain!"

Tail echoed the voice.

......

Just when the third team decided to wait for the rabbit tonight, the reporters who had been at the tram intersection had already arrived at the scene of the latest "traffic accident" two streets away for the first time, and they all rushed to start reporting it.

"Death's scythe has fallen again! Death Cross Thriller Car Accident! ”

"The young man attempted suicide and his mother died, and Sakura fell in Twilight Town, and the Grim Reaper reappeared!"

"Exclusive reveal! The hidden truth that is not known after a series of traffic accidents. ”

“......”

When Higashinohara saw the news, he immediately realized that Satoru Aragaki's inference was stuck in a stereotype.

Because in the past few years, the accidents in Twilight Town have all happened at that tram intersection and committed suicide by jumping off the rails, and after the train stopped running today, they subconsciously thought that at least nothing would happen again today.

But they ignore one thing.

traffic suicide accidents,

You don't necessarily need a tram.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara hurried back to the apartment with the two small knives he had just bought, wanting to call Satoru Aragaki and Xia Li who were together today.

But when he came to the Aragaki Detective Office on the third floor, he found that the gate was closed and the van downstairs was gone.

After thinking about it, Higashinohara reacted, most likely because the two of them saw the news and saw that he was not there and rushed to the scene first, so if he wanted to go to the scene again, he might have to take a few tram stops.

These two are unreliable!

Would you like to check it out yourself?

Higashinohara vaguely felt that something was going to happen tonight, even if it wasn't for the commission of Ryoka Kame, with the experience of transforming the sin value into free attribute points last time, he was also ready to move in his heart.

Gotta go tonight!

Higashinohara made a decision and no longer hesitated.

When he went downstairs, he didn't forget to go back and change his clothes, and put on the dark gold dragonfly mask he brought back from the dinner party at the Odaiba villa in the rain that night.

This is a very necessary barrier and protection for him who is not strong enough to deal with the secret hostility at the moment, and so far it seems that only the deceased Nishimaru Miri knows his true identity.

Just as Higashinohara rushed to the scene of the crime, there was also a woman on a motorcycle wearing a black leather jacket and a helmet, speeding through the crowded streets of Shinjuku City.

I don't know when, the rain crackled down, and the woman's charming eyebrows felt a little cool, and she raised her hand to lower the mask in front of the helmet, but her eyes were always staring ahead.

Something wrong.

One offense is enough.

Snake Saori thought to herself.

......

It's getting dark.

The lights on the side of the road come on.

In the vicinity of the Twibetsu-cho tram intersection, the sound of car horns and the noise of pedestrians have all disappeared.

In fact, thanks to the experience of the afternoon, with the cooperation of the traffic section, several streets around the Twibetsu-cho tram intersection have been blocked off tonight.

Although the onlookers smelled a special smell from the Metropolitan Police Department's actions, they were forcefully ordered to disperse them all, leaving only some small newspaper rangers to stand under the eaves of roadside shops in the late autumn night rain rubbing their hands and snorting hot.

Damn it!

These cops can't be tricky, right?

I miss the bedding at home!

But it seems to be a big news, a promotion and a salary increase.

......

Under the cherry blossom trees at the crossroads.

Xi Rin Qiantetsu stood straight in the drizzle with an umbrella, his two thick eyebrows drooped slightly, and the old monk didn't know what he was thinking.

"Captain Nishirin! Drink a cup of warm. ”

At this time, the deputy captain Oda Yu ran over with a large bag of milk tea and gave a cup to each of his colleagues who were on duty in the night rain on the side of the road, and then trotted to the side of Rin Nishirin Chitetsu and handed over a cup.

Oda Yuza put on the straw and said with a smile, "Tut, now that the world is in a recession, Yakuza has gone to change careers, and when I just bought milk tea, I found out that the owner of the milk tea shop was actually a guy I had taught me before." ”

"A lot of times, it's not that people can't follow the right path, they just need to experience enough lessons."

After being silent for a moment, Xi Rin Chitetsu said this, but what came to mind was the sloppy young man who was crying on the side of the road in the afternoon.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the black ripples of the road beach reflect the turbid yellow street lamps overhead, the late autumn night breeze blows through the cherry blossom trees and the cherry blossoms fall for a while, and the rare quiet intersection in the downtown area is becoming more and more quiet and deep.

"Captain, did you think there would be a situation here tonight?" Yu Oda suddenly asked with some uneasiness.

Xi Rin Chitetsu said calmly, "If there is, I hope there isn't; If not, I hope there is, or we might be here tomorrow night. ”

Oda Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said a little stupidly, "It seems that this is the truth, it seems that it is not a good thing, eh?" Why is that girl still there? ”

Hearing this, Xirin Qiantetsu looked at it, and immediately frowned.

He remembered that the petite girl in a black high school uniform who was about the same size as an elementary school student was the family of the victim he had seen in the alley next door when he drove in the afternoon.

Haven't left yet?

It's not a good place.

Nishirin Chitetsu sighed and beckoned to the girl.

......

In the night rain, after Riaka Shirin noticed the gesture of Nishirin Chitetsu with a big black umbrella covering herself, she couldn't help but stiffen her body with a cowardly nature, nervously held the long knife at her waist under the big umbrella, and walked over in small steps.

However, just as Ryoka Kame stepped onto the zebra crossing and walked to the middle of the road.

Without warning!

A gust of night wind blew through the streets.

Several October cherry trees full of trees and flowers at the intersection shook violently, and a large number of flying cherry blossoms rushed towards the dekame with a big black umbrella at the intersection like a rushing pink wave.

Ryoka Kame hurriedly half-squatted, her delicate little arms tightly hugged the big black umbrella in her arms, and waited until the night wind passed before she stood up again.

But when her eyes looked back at the West Rin Chitetsu across the road, she found that the latter's eyes and attention were no longer on her.

At this moment,

Everyone around her looked away from her.

A cherry blossom intersection where the night rain drifts.

At some point, a group of strangers wearing white long-eared rabbit masks emerged in droves from the darkness in all directions, like ghosts of the night.

At the forefront,

It was a middle-aged man wearing a gray mask.

......
