"The scene of the crime seems to be related to hot springs, and even the strange smell on the mountain comes from a strange pool of spring water, is there something related to this?"

Kiyosuke frowned slightly, thinking, and slowly walked through the dim streets, it was already early in the morning, and the street lights in the village had basically been extinguished.

"According to the police officer just now, this is the third murder in the past month, but I forgot to ask him if the first two were also found in the hot springs."

Kiyosuke shook his head, he patronized the breath in the blood pool just now, and he forgot to ask for clues, but it didn't have much impact, and it would be the same if he went to investigate it himself during the day tomorrow.

"Hot springs... Bath..."Kiyosuke muttered to himself, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, but it still needs to be investigated before it can be determined.

After walking in the dark for a few minutes, Kiyosuke suddenly stopped and stood in front of a dark alleyway.

"Isn't Your Excellency still showing up?"

Quiescence.

In the dark streets, I don't know when a pin drops can be heard, and even the usual rare insect chirping and frog chirping have disappeared, and the silence is like a dead field.

"Your Excellency has been following me ever since I left that room."

"Could it be that Your Excellency thinks I'm blind?" There was a hint of coldness in Kiyosuke's eyes, and a word quietly appeared in his right hand at some point, and in the faint moonlight, it shimmered slightly.

The air in the field was suffocated, and just as Kiyosuke's patience was about to be exhausted, a voice finally came from behind him.

"Click, click..."The sound of slippers came, and Kiyosuke turned to look.

'Smack.. Smack..' The vicissitudes of life man applauded and exclaimed, "Should I say that I really deserve to be a young dragon, my perception is so keen, I thought I had hidden it well." ”

The man who spoke was one of the passers-by who had been watching outside the house with Kiyosuke half an hour ago, but Kiyosuke had no special impression of him.

"What is your purpose, you may as well say it directly, why follow me all the time." Kiyosuke frowned and spoke.

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong."

"I just want to see how strong the young dragons who have been in the limelight lately are, and by the way, tell you some secrets." The man smiled mysteriously and slowly walked in front of Kiyosuke.

Kiyosuke looked deeply at the man in front of him, and instead of taking the word back into the weapon space, he stared at the man to see what he wanted to say.

......

Half an hour later, Kiyosuke returned to his room in the hostel.

Sitting on the tatami mat, Kiyosuke closed his eyes and wanted to meditate, but what the man had just said flashed in his mind.

"Kiyosuke-san, do you know why the villagers just now spontaneously gathered downstairs."

"What do you want to say?" Kiyosuke frowned, and it was indeed very strange to think about it carefully, why a scream in the middle of the night would attract hundreds of villagers.

Even if everyone knows that there is a murderer in the village recently, it should be like the middle-aged police officer said, lock the doors and windows and stay at home.

Thinking about it carefully, the passers-by just now were indeed not quite right, and their expressions did not seem to be fearful, but more like a sigh of relief.

"Because they're here to pay tribute."

"They... But they were all sacrifices for sin. The man's voice suddenly became a little erratic, and the expression on his face gradually became hideous.

"Tribute?" Kiyosuke frowned, what is this, the man's words completely interrupted his train of thought just now.

"This is a man-eating island, and if Kiyosuke-san doesn't want to get into trouble, it's best to leave this island early tomorrow morning."

"In the next good words to persuade each other, I also hope that Qing Jiesang will think twice."

After the man said this, his feet began to retreat, and he slowly melted into the darkness in front of Seisuke.

Kiyosuke didn't stop him from leaving, but the strange way the man disappeared made him a little curious, it didn't seem to be some kind of body, it was more like turning himself into darkness itself.

"Whew~" Kiyosuke opened his eyes and exhaled, the thoughts in his mind were a little messy now, and he couldn't sink into meditation for a while.

Originally, he thought he had found the connection, but after the inexplicable man appeared, he interrupted his already smooth train of thought.

"No, the spring water on the mountain should have something to do with the baths in the village." Kiyosuke frowned and decided to take a look at the hot spring inn where the accident happened early tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Kiyosuke closed his eyes and re-entered meditation.

The next morning, the sun rose over the coastline east of Mt. Rebun, and the morning sun shone softly into the village, seemingly blowing away the gloom of the previous night.

During the day, the village looks quite normal, and although there are fewer tourists than usual, the main streets are quite lively.

After breakfast, Kiyosuke set off for the first murder scene, which was the bloody hot spring inn.

Half an hour later, Kiyosuke came to the downstairs of the hotel, the surrounding area had been sealed up, but no one was guarding it anymore, it was on the outskirts of the village, and the surroundings were very deserted.

Kiyosuke jumped over the fence, tore off the seal, and walked into the hot spring inn.

As soon as he opened the door, a thick bloody qi rushed towards Kiyosuke, Kiyosuke frowned, and 'Yi' guarded his body, isolating the smell of blood dozens of centimeters away.

"This bloody gas is too heavy, it doesn't look like more than twenty people have died at all." Kiyosuke said secretly in his heart.

After sweeping it with the 'god', Kiyosuke noticed that the air in the hotel was even faintly glowing blood-red.

The smell of blood at this level was more like a spray that had been minced and made into spray by more than 20 people, constantly swaying around the hotel.

The interior of the hostel is not messy, everything is arranged in its place, and it does not look like it has been slaughtered.

Walking through the courtyard and the wings, Kiyosuke came to the place where the male soup at the back of the inn was, which was the scene of the crime.

Many days have passed since the first case, and the scene of the hotel has long since been dealt with by the police, leaving only a clean bath and some blood stains that have not been cleaned up still emitting a rancid stench.

After spending half an hour investigating the inn, Kiyosuke stood by the bath and looked at Mt. Rebun not far away.

This hot spring inn is not far from Mt. Rebundake, so to speak, at the foot of Mount Rebundake, and after inspecting the springs in the baths, Kiyosuke is even more sure of his thoughts.

"The source of this spring should be the same as the spring on the mountainside." A glint flashed in Kiyosuke's eyes.

If he was not mistaken, the other crime scenes were probably also in the bath, and they were also of the same origin as the spring on the mountainside.

But to be on the safe side, Kiyosuke decided to look at all the crime scenes first.
