"But in that case, why did you notice Nozomi Mizuhara? At the time, you probably didn't know what happened to Mina Isano, right? Also, before you came into contact with Nozomi Mizuhara, you didn't know that 'Mr. Wise' was also in contact with her, right? ”

After reading the content of what the castle jade said in its entirety, Takato thought about it and couldn't help but raise a trace of doubt.

In this regard, Shirotsuka Jade couldn't help but open the diary, and said somewhat reasonably:

"The main reason, of course, is that this diary mentions something that interests me. Anyway, I've got the diary, so of course I'll have to take a look at it. ”

"So, what is there in this diary that makes you want to get in touch with Mizuhara Nozomi in person?"

Gao Yuan said, and couldn't help but be a little curious, looking at the diary book in Shirotsuka's hand.

In this regard, Shirotsuka Jade had no scruples, and directly handed the diary in her hand to Gao Yuan, and said with some surprise:

"Although this will reveal the privacy of the customer a little, if it is Mr. Takato, I want to tell you that there should be no problem."

As he spoke, Shirotsuka Jade turned the pages of the diary to one of the pages, pointed to one of the words, and said slowly:

"That's where Mina Isano mentions, she saw a comic book treasured by Mr. Wise, where the protagonist chops off the limbs of the heroine and makes her a girl who belongs to the protagonist - this plot makes Mina feel very romantic."

Soon, Jotsuka Jade's fingers quickly swiped over the corresponding content of what he said on the corresponding page of the diary, and then turned a few more pages, pointed out a passage in it, and continued:

And then there's this, she mentions that on this day, a junior high school girl from Sakura Hakura Girls' Academy also read the manga at 'Mr. Wise', and by looking at her student ID, Mina learned that the girl's name was Nozomi Mizuhara. It is because of these two paragraphs that I wanted to get in touch with Nozomi Mizuhara in person. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Following the movement of the castle jade's fingers, Gao Yuan quickly finished reading what she said, and then asked puzzled-

Although according to this statement, the method by which the protagonist in the comic cuts off the limbs of the heroine is exactly the same as the real situation, if he knows this clue now, although the possibility of a coincidence may not be ruled out, he must be curious about it.

But before that, it shouldn't be possible for Shirotsuka Jade to know the details of this case, why did she want to contact her in person at that time because Nozomi Mizuhara had read that manga?

However, when Gao Yuan asked this doubt, Jotsuka Jade's expression became very serious, and he couldn't help but say a question that surprised Gao Yuan very solemnly:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, do you know the 'Gus Group'?"

"An international criminal organization whose main means is the theft of counterfeit gemstones!"

Frowning tightly, Gao Yuan was unexpectedly surprised-

Of course I know this name, and I will never forget it casually, after all, when I was on Mermaid Island, I suffered a big loss at the hands of this organization!

"Mr. Gao Yuan really knows......"

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Shirotsuka Jade confirmed with some understanding, as if he had already affirmed that Gao Yuan knew this, and then slowly continued:

"So, does Mr. Gao Yuan know...... Choming off a person's limbs while they are alive is actually a means for the 'Gus Group' to deal with traitors! ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's brows furrowed even more, and he looked at the castle jade with a solemn face, very surprised that she could say such a thing that seemed to be very secret.

"The 'Gus Group' is an international criminal organization with strong religious overtones, and their members will hold corresponding ceremonies when they join the group or when they are promoted. But again, once such an organization is joined, it is not so easy to quit, and if a member wants to leave the group, he or she must also be baptized by the corresponding ceremony of the rank he originally held within the group...... And cutting off limbs is the highest standard exit ceremony of the group.

"However, in general, in the face of such a life-threatening ritual, there is basically no one who chooses to quit when they reach that level within the group, so this ritual of amputating limbs is rarely performed...... But ......"

Saying this, Jotsuka Jade's expression also looked very serious, and when she said this, she couldn't help but be silent for a moment, closed her eyes slightly and sighed softly, and then said:

"If it is faced with traitors who choose not to accept the ritual and flee directly, once the group finds them, it will directly carry out this highest-level ritual to show the maintenance of the dignity of the group."

"So, what are you suspicious of when you see the contents of that manga?"

Seeing that after Jotsuka Jade said this, he didn't continue to speak, and Gao Yuan couldn't help but look solemn:

"And why do you know so much about this kind of thing!"

Staring at Shirobuka Jade's eyes, Takato seemed to want to see something from her face.

"Because I've encountered it."

Without avoiding Takato's gaze, Shirotsuka Jade also looked into Takato's eyes and replied very seriously:

"When I was in the U.S., I had an incident related to the Gus Group chasing down a traitor, so I know that."

Said in the affirmative, but didn't seem to want to explain in more detail, Shirotsuka Jade just told Takato why she knew about it.

And after hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him more carefully-

After all, his previous encounter with the "Gus Group" on Mermaid Island, even with the help of Nakagawa Dazang, did not have any detailed understanding of that group at all......

But now, the girl in front of her, who is still in junior high school, would know this kind of thing, so what has she experienced before!

"You were in the U.S. before?"

As if a little curious, Takato was a little curious about one of the things she had just said.

"Well, I lived in the United States until I went back to my country for junior high school."

Jade Shirotsuka replied frankly.

"That'...... Do you have anything to do with the 'Gus Group'? Why do you care so much about things that might be related to the 'Gus Group'? ”

Gao Yuan asked—

After all, the content of the comics is really intrinsically related to the real "Gus Group's" methods of dealing with traitors, to be honest, from my own point of view, I think it's probably just a coincidence.

And just a few accidental clues can make her put into action to investigate, and it is obvious that she is extremely concerned about this matter.

Combined with what she mentioned before, she had been living in the United States before this, and Gao Yuan could probably guess a certain situation - it is possible that when she was in the United States before, something extremely important happened between Shirdsuka Jade and the "Gus Group", which had a very significant impact on her, causing her to have to return to China, so she would care so much about the affairs of the "Gus Group".

Of course, this is only a momentary conjecture of Gao Yuan, and there is absolutely no actual evidence to prove this.

After all, for Gao Yuan, as she came into contact with Shirotsuka Jade more and more, there were more and more mysteries about her.

"Mr. Gao Yuan!"

Speaking of this, Shimotsuka Jade shouted coquettishly, stomped his foot, and said depressedly as if he was a little impatient:

"Please don't ask me about my story at this time! The girl's past is not so casually asked as an interrogation! ”

"Forehead ......"

Looking at Jotsuka Jade's statement, Gao Yuan was also a little embarrassed, it was really rude to ask the little girl about the past so casually, let's turn the topic back to the topic-

"So, what did you discover through Mizuhara Nozomi?"

"I found ......"

Hearing this question, the corners of Jotsuka Jade's mouth suddenly showed a smile, like the expression of a child who had discovered something fun about to be mischievous, and then said with a smile:

"Mr. Wise is a rotten man!"

Although she knew who Shirotsuka Jade wanted to say, Gao Yuan also understood, and was sure that Jotsuka Jade was definitely pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but Gao Yuan couldn't refute anything, after all-

"Isono Mina is still a high school student, and it's shameless for an adult man to hook up with a high school girl, but it's unforgivable that he actually made a move on Yuki, who is a junior high school student!"

Shirotsuka Jade said with some indignation, and then with a somewhat regretful expression, he sighed:

"It's a pity that I didn't persuade Yuki at the time, and I didn't find a way to find out the specific information of 'Mr. Wise' from Yuki, so she suddenly changed schools without warning. And I was looking into the manga at the time, so I didn't find out about Yuki's situation in time, and it wasn't until I noticed that two girls who were connected to 'Mr. Wise' suddenly changed schools, and I felt that something was wrong, but ......"

Speaking of this, Shirotsuka Jade lowered her head very depressedly, and then looked up at Gao Yuan, and couldn't help but say:

"And after I found out that even Hazuki Yage, a lady who is similar to Mina Isono and Nozomi Mizuhara, had an accident, Mr. Takato actually appeared near Yage, so I was suspicious at the time......"

"But at this point, what has happened is irreversible, and all we can do is find the three victims and catch the suspected suspect 'Mr. Wise' as soon as possible...... At least, there is no clear evidence that the three of them are dead......"

Saying this, Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and couldn't help but say:

However, even if Mina Isono is likely to be the first victim, the identity of another victim is still unclear...... At present, only a rough direction of tracing can be determined. ”

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and thought about whether to inform the police of the existing clues first, but Shirotsuka Jade saw this and directly reached out and took Gao Yuan's mobile phone first, and couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, if you tell the police about this information now, how can you explain where you got the clues? You're not going to give me up, are you? ”

They all opened their mouths, and Shirotsuka Jade seemed to be a little angry and said.

"However, it is the most correct way to let the police grasp the clues as soon as possible, after all, there are some clues that we cannot do a more detailed investigation."

- Moreover, since the Metropolitan Police Department's Wise and Enlightened Police is also paying attention to this case, with his participation, it should be possible to break the eucalyptus faster.

Gao Yuan thought so in his heart.

"But if you tell the police these important clues now, he will definitely investigate you, and then I will be exposed......

muttered a few words in a low voice, but didn't let Gao Yuan hear it, and then Shirotsuka Jade couldn't help but say:

"No! At least you can't use your identity to give the police a clue. ”

"And what do you want?"

Frowning slightly, feeling that the castle jade was a little unreasonable, Gao Yuan couldn't help but wave his hand and asked helplessly.

"Or else!"

Shirotsuka Jade stretched out her finger, pressed it to her lips and thought for a moment, then proposed:

"Although I don't have a more detailed clue about the clues of 'Mr. Wise', I have investigated something from that comic. Mr. Takato, why don't you take me to Nanyang University in Shizuoka Prefecture tomorrow! ”

"Nanyang University?"

Hearing the name of this school at this time, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised-

After all, this school itself is quite familiar......

Hey, wait a minute, when you talk about Nanyang University, do you seem to have forgotten something......

"Why? Is that clue related to Nanyang University? ”

Takato asked.

"Yes."

Shirotsuka Jade nodded, and couldn't help but say:

"I asked from Yuki that the manga was called 'My Girl', and it was an evil manga that caused a stir more than ten years ago, and I happened to know of a major event about the 'Gus Group' more than ten years ago."

- "The Girl Who Only Belongs to Me"!

Hearing the title of this book, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be startled, and then he began to be a little dazed-

No wonder!

It's no wonder that when I got the relevant details about this incident from Officer Twilight before, some comic pictures that seemed to be related to eucalyptus popped up in my mind inexplicably, and it turned out that I actually turned over it!

It's just that I heard Miss Kyoko say that the manga was not exciting, so I didn't read it carefully, so I wasn't very impressed......

Ay!

Wait a minute, I remember going through that manga in that second-hand bookstore that day!

He had already noticed that clue at the time!

"Well...... But what does this have to do with Nanyang University? ”

Gao Yuan reversed his thoughts and asked with some puzzlement.

"Because if I have to say it, the source of that incident must be mentioned from Nanyang University 20 years ago."

Shirotsuka Jade couldn't help but say:

"This is my exclusive news! If it weren't for the fact that the guest who told me about this was no longer alive, I wouldn't have revealed it like that! ”

Saying this, Shirotsuka Jade suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, do you know where the five diamonds you saw came from?"
