More than an hour later, Kiyosuke came to the last crime scene, which was also a private house, but the owner of the house, the deceased himself, was a bachelor, and he was the only one in the family, so he was found by his neighbors two days after his death.

"Isn't there too much hot spring in this village?" Kiyosuke frowned, he had already seen that at least a dozen homes had hot springs.

Hot springs are actually groundwater, and as a small island, is the number of hot springs in the village a little too much?

After inspecting the scene of the crime, as Kiyosuke expected, the hot springs here are also of the same origin as the springs on the mountainside, not only the source of the water, but even the spring water has the same strange smell, but the hot springs in the village are much lighter, and if you don't explore carefully, you won't notice it at all.

Now that you understand the relationship between the spring and the murder, it's probably certain that most of this youkai is related to the spring, but there are so many youkai related to the spring that Kiyosuke can't confirm which one it is for a while.

If it is analyzed according to the spring water, Kiyosuke can also analyze several suspected youkai by comparing the characteristics of legends and murders.

But what the strange man said last night completely disrupted his analysis, and he didn't find any tribute-related monsters in the data.

"Looks like we'll have to go to the spring on the mountainside to investigate." Kiyosuke turned his head to stare at Rebungaku in the distance, thinking silently.

After investigating in the village, the time also came to noon, and Kiyosuke found a random restaurant in the village, and after lunch, he went up the mountain to see the strange spring.

A notice of last night's incident has also been issued in the village, and the police said that it was a perverted homicidal incident, reminding the villagers to pay attention to safety, not to travel alone, and to close doors and windows at night.

Kiyosuke ate ramen silently, today is the second day he came to the island, he planned to complete the goal in seven days, but he didn't have a clue yet, he just found a little clue and was overturned, which gave him a bit of a headache.

For that strange man, Seisuke couldn't find out his identity either, and the system with too few features couldn't be compared at all, or rather, there were too many suspected objects.

After taking out a thousand yen from his wallet and placing it on the table, Kiyosuke got up and left the ramen restaurant, ready to return to the mysterious spring of Rebundake to investigate.

And the strange man has been put behind him for the time being, and Kiyosuke believes in the results of his own investigation more than that.

If his analysis is correct, then there is a good chance that he will be able to fight the mysterious youkai head-on after entering the spring, but that is also Seisuke's purpose.

But the moment Kiyosuke walked out the door, a hint of familiarity caught his attention.

"It's the breath of that female corpse!" A cold light flashed in Kiyosuke's eyes, but he didn't expect this female corpse to dare to come out to do evil during the day.

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment he felt the breath, Kiyosuke kicked hard under his feet, and his figure jumped hundreds of meters away with a slight sway, which was where the breath came from.

"Bang~" Kiyosuke kicked open the gate and rushed straight towards the hot spring in the backyard, most of the houses in the village were of the same structure, so he knew where the hot spring was as soon as he entered the door.

"Evil beast!" Kiyosuke burst into a shout, and the words had been condensed in his hands at some point.

At this time, in the courtyard, there was already a male corpse soaked in the bath, but his body had not yet been decomposed.

In the center of the bath, there was a body that seemed to be condensed with red blood, leaning against the corpse that had begun to melt.

A cold glint flashed in Kiyosuke's eyes, and the words in his hand continued to flicker with a pulsing electric light, and in just an instant, his sword came in front of the red figure.

"Crackling~" The violent electric light flashed, and Kiyosuke seemed to be holding the thunderbolt in his hand, and a text seemed to be condensed into a lightning entity in his hand, and the crazy beating electric light slashed directly at the figure.

"Fake!" Kiyosuke's face sank, and the moment he approached, he sensed that something was wrong, this body wasn't here at all, it was just a shadow, not even a doppelganger.

But this knife has been cut, and if the knife light is allowed to cut out, it will not only be a problem for this house, but the surrounding houses will probably be destroyed by his sword light.

Kiyosuke gritted his teeth and forcibly changed the direction of the sword light, and the sizzling electric light turned around and blasted towards the sky, like a thunderbolt going upstream.

"Boom~" The belated sound of thunder and lightning came, and almost no one in the village knew what was happening, only that the thunder seemed to be very close, and it was particularly deafening.

"It's thundering, is it going to rain?"

"It's a sunny day outside, how can it be thundering?!"

The villagers poked their heads out, not understanding where the thunder came from, the sky was clear and the sky was clear, and there were very few clouds, how could there be thunder.

Seisuke stood by the hot spring with a calm face, not expecting that he would be tricked by a shadow.

"No, it shouldn't be a simple shadow, if I come a little later, the corpse will be melted." Kiyosuke's eyes narrowed as he looked at the male corpse in the pool.

This man, I am afraid that he is the first person to leave a whole corpse since the incident, can be used as an important clue to investigate, after all, the other corpses are fragmented, and even the cause of death cannot be found.

And he didn't find nothing, although the shadow disappeared, but Kiyosuke felt her breath up close for the first time.

This made Kiyosuke even more sure that the cause of this incident should be related to the strange spring, and the spring water in this village seems to come from the same spring.

If he wanted to find the monster's true body, he still had to go to the strange spring on the mountainside.

Although there are still many mysteries about the incident, Seisuke is no longer ready to investigate further.

His goal is to find the youkai and slay it! It's not the case that comes to solve the case, it's the job of the police.

After contacting yesterday's sheriff with the terminal, Kiyosuke prepared to leave the scene and go to the spring on the mountainside again, this time to investigate a little deeper.

But at this time, the man appeared in front of the house at the scene of the crime last night and blocked his way again.

"The tribute was interrupted before it was eaten, and you were already hated by her."

"Now you can't leave if you want to, Kiyosuke-san."

The man shrugged his shoulders and looked at the depths of the doorway that had been kicked by Kiyosuke with a smile, from where it seemed that he could look directly at the scene of the crime.

"Who are you?" Kiyosuke frowned, this strange man seemed to know something, and he was the first to bring up the so-called tribute yesterday.

"I'm just a poor person, but Kiyosuke-san, with such a strong talent, it would be a pity if I was left here." The man sighed.
