Watanabe and Nakamura entered the room, took out white gloves from their pockets and began to work, checking in various ways, and telling Inoue and Kurihara to stand at the door and not move.

Tsukasa Kurihara really stood with Inoue and waited at the door.

Inoue was still thinking about what he had just seen. Why, obviously he saw Sato's head in a different place, but when he looked through the window on the second floor, there was nothing, impossible.

Tsukasa Kurihara looked at him next to him, Inoue felt the two of them meeting their eyes, and Kurihara took the opportunity to speak: "Excuse me, is there something going on here?" ”

Inoue asked before answering, "Are you new here?" ”

"Ah, yes. I'm new to the job, and I'm not very familiar with the residents here, so who are you? ”

"I'm Inoue."

"Inoue-san, I'm so sorry I didn't greet you at the first time." Tsukasa Kurihara bowed slightly with an apologetic and flattering smile on his face.

After getting Tsukasa Kurihara's sincere apology, Inoue felt much more comfortable, plus he knew more information than Tsukasa Kurihara, and Inoue felt a sense of superiority rise in his heart, coughed twice and began to pretend to explain the current situation to Tsukasa Kurihara.

"Look, the police are coming, and they tell you to get up and open the door in the middle of the night, something big must have happened." Speaking of the back, Inoue unconsciously lowered his voice, "The occupant of this house, Sato-san, may have been killed." Extremely cruel means. ”

"Ahh What's going on? Homicide? How is it possible in this society now? Tsukasa Kurihara opened his mouth wide and looked shocked, extremely cooperative.

The listener's performance greatly stimulated Inoue's desire to express himself, and he then told Tsukasa Kurihara everything he could know. There is a certain exaggeration in it, but it is enough for Tsukasa Kurihara.

Inoue saw someone die, the way of death of decapitation, blood splattered. However, when the police came, the scene of the crime returned to calm, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, not even the body was seen.

The vanished Kiritaro. Tsukasa Kurihara immediately remembered the prefix of Kiritaro's strange talk.

Disappearing, how will it disappear? Tsukasa Kurihara's mind was racing.

"Watanabe-san, nothing." On the second floor, Nakamura, who had completed the investigation on the first floor, reported to Watanabe, "There was no owner in sight, and there was no crime scene." ”

"Hmm." Watanabe nodded, "Same with the second floor. ”

There was no crime scene and no homeowner, but the light in the bedroom on the second floor was on, and the mattress was a mess, as if someone had slept and then got up. There is a pair of leather shoes with their heads facing inwards at the door, and there are cotton slippers in the bedroom, all of which show that the owner's home is in the room.

But the two looked inside and out, and there was no sign of anyone else. In addition, if there are people in the house, it is impossible for the homeowner not to appear except for the vegetative person who has no five senses.

After all the circumstances were ruled out, only one fact remained—the owner of the house disappeared, was in his own home, and suddenly disappeared. Combined with Inoue's performance, Watanabe roughly pieced together an explanation.

The murderer somehow covered up the scene of the crime, hiding the victim's body, the blood at the scene, and the tools of the crime. Maybe it's in this room, it's just a trick.

It is also possible that the victim is not dead, but is just hidden, and the picture that Inoue sees is just an illusion, or an illusion of human vision. Watanabe has experienced countless visual tricks, and many of the clues in front of him are invisible due to various distractions.

The current situation made Watanabe's back a little chilly, and he unconsciously remembered the case ten years ago when he gave up his heart to fight. At that time, it will be the same, the murderer is unknown, the scene of the crime is uncertain, only the body that was brutally dismembered. There are also broken families left behind.

At the beginning, Watanabe was full of confidence, and even approached the truth for a while, and he almost found a clue. As long as he is given clues, he will definitely be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

But he was not given this chance.

The case was later taken over by the Ministry of Public Security, saying that it was related to foreign terrorism. Although I was unwilling, I couldn't help it, and I kept an eye on the follow-up development of the case without transitioning. After being taken over by the Ministry of Public Security, the secrecy of the case gradually improved, and finally reached the point where it was impossible to reach Watanabe's level.

In the end, all he knew was that the deceased's family had disappeared.

The family that was eating with him an hour ago has disappeared, just like the scene now. Obviously, all the details show that there are people, but you can't see where they are.

"Watanabe-san, Watanabe-san?" Nakamura shouted.

Watanabe came back to his senses: "Hmm. The situation is already obvious. Although the person is missing, there is no crime scene and no bloodstains, so it can only be temporarily judged to be missing. ”

"But we have to investigate later." Watanabe said, "I was in contact with the householder, his social relationships, and his family situation. Follow the procedure and report to the team first. ”

"Understood."

Although it was not a homicide, Nakamura was also happy to have a disappearance case between the grandmothers crossing the street, and he took out a notepad and began to handwrite the main points.

Watanabe still desperate to find something, went back to the bedroom again, and stood in the center to look left and right. The cotton slippers placed in front of the window, and the window with the curtains open, he stepped forward to lift the bed, and a concave pit was clearly visible.

Watanabe affirmed: "Someone's." ”

Watanabe's brows tightened as he struggled to explain the current situation in his experience, and a voice suddenly sounded next to him as he immersed himself in thought.

"Watanabe Criminal."

Watanabe's body tensed violently, and when he looked sideways, he found that the apartment administrator, Tsukasa Kurihara, didn't know when he came to his side. Watanabe's face was gloomy, and with his acuity, he wouldn't have reacted to anyone else getting so close. Watanabe was silent for a moment before saying, "You'd better not wander around the room." ”

"Is it because it's the scene of the crime? Someone died. ”

Watanabe looked at him.

"Inoue-san told me." Tsukasa Kurihara explained, "I saw someone dead, but there was nothing, a supernatural event that transcended common sense. ”

After explaining, Tsukasa Kurihara said, "Watanabe Criminal, do you believe in strange talks?" ”

"Strange talk?" Watanabe quickly understood what Tsukasa Kurihara meant, "You mean these are all inhuman things?" ”

"Do you believe it?"

"We police officers can't believe this kind of thing. Behind every case must be someone doing something wrong. Watanabe said, "What's the use of putting all the unsolved cases on the ghosts?" And what is the use of modernization? And it turns out to be true. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara smiled: "That's right, in essence, ghosts and ghosts are controlled by people behind their backs." But you're believing in weird talk. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara's last sentence was very affirmative.

"Huh?" Watanabe raised an eyebrow.

"If you don't believe me, you can't be the first to see me."

"Huh?"

"That's why you're here with me."

"Come to ····· Here? ”

Watanabe wakes up from a conversation with Tsukasa Kurihara and suddenly notices that his surroundings have changed.

A large amount of fog rises in the room.
