Nine a.m.

That is, an hour and a half after receiving a police call.

As a law-abiding citizen whose murder has not yet been discovered, Rosetta is very cooperative and agrees to the request to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, which may also be because he wants to get the latest information.

He was one of the last visitors before the escape from Prison No. 3.

He, the guy who had just committed a new murder, was received by the officers of the Antchuan City Police Station and walked into the local police station openly.

“…… After assisting Mr. Tsubakiyama in completing the materials, I followed Arakawa-senpai out of prison, and to be honest, I didn't know about the 'escape incident' until this morning, when I learned about it. ”

In the interrogation room, Rosetta truthfully explained all her experiences, telling everything during the prison visit, but hiding her special feelings for Ishiizaki.

"And what about after you leave prison? What did you do again? ”

The officer in charge of the transcript knocked on the table and only conducted some routine questioning, and did not seem to regard him as a relevant suspect involved in the escape.

"Do you need to ask even such questions about your private life?"

Rosetta asked casually, then took a sip of the water on the table before replying: "After leaving the prison, I got into the car of Arakawa-senpai, and made a U-turn from the prison all the way back to the city. ”

In order to prevent the police from Reiko Arakawa, Rosetta had already made up a set of statements that could not be verified in advance as to what he was doing during that time, and made relevant preparations in advance, including the medicine and medical records he mentioned, there was no way to falsify it.

In this era when informatization is not yet popular, the mature urban monitoring system has not been covered in big cities like Tokyo, let alone small cities such as Antgawa City, so Rosetta is not worried about his rhetoric being punctured by any evidence.

The only flaw in his made-up rhetoric is going to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

It's a pity that the diazepam drugs he used to buy in large quantities because of insomnia were prescription drugs, and he also went through the back door of the hospital through the relationship when he found this purchase channel, so he never left specific documents.

Even if the police went to the pharmacy to ask, they could only get information that he had indeed gone to buy medicine at night that day, but there was no way to know that he had actually passed a few hours after getting out of the car and killing people.

Logically speaking, there was really no problem with this set of statements, and the police officer in charge of the transcript just nodded, and recorded it for the people from above to read it.

"Okay, you can go out, your Arakawa-senpai who came over around the same time as you should already be waiting for you outside."

Reiko Arakawa has also arrived?

Catching this information, Rosetta felt a little lucky, if he didn't prepare in advance in this regard, and deliberately concealed the experience of that period of time, he was afraid that when the two transcripts were submitted and compared with each other, the suspicions on his body would become "suspicions", even if he really had nothing to do with the prison escape, he couldn't let himself have the final say.

For the moral bottom line of the Yingzhou police.

I believe that living in this country does not trust anyone.

Whether it is a local ancient Chinese or a foreign consortium, they can easily rely on power to make this supposedly just institution serve their own selfish desires.

As for Rosetta himself, who had just been attacked, he didn't dare to put his life in the hands of the Yingzhou police who were leaking everywhere, he could be sure that if he could plan a large-scale prison escape and manipulate monsters to kill people at will, there must be an internal response from Ishiizaki in the police system.

Of course.

He has not forgotten his original purpose of taking such a big risk to come to the police station.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he did not leave the interrogation room immediately, but asked the police officer who made the record as if he was curious: "Now that I have cooperated with you to complete the record and proved that I am not suspicious, you police officers should always tell me a little basic information about the prison escape incident." ”

"The news only said that there was a serious prison escape, but it didn't say what the seriousness was, and as a law-abiding citizen, I felt that I should have the right to know about my life."

Probably because of Rosetta's positive and cooperative attitude since entering the interrogation room, the police officer in charge of the transcript did not show any resistance to the suspect, but quickly revealed a little information.

"I'm not in charge of the field, and I don't know much about the specific situation over there, if you want to ask this, I can only tell you that you two are quite lucky to leave this group of people in the end."

“…… How so? ”

Rosetta raised her eyebrows, thinking of Ishiizaki's style of sending monsters to kill him just because he was suspicious, he had a vague guess.

"They're all dead."

The police officer in charge of the transcript said in a somewhat unbearable voice: "Just after the two of you left, almost half an hour, there was an explosion from the inside of the third prison, whether it was the prison guards guarding the prison, the prisoners in the prison, or the people who came to visit the prison, most of the corpses were found in mutilated shapes, and some of them still had traces of being gnawed by something. ”

"If you leave any later, I'm afraid you'll be left inside completely, so that's why I said you two are at least quite lucky."

- Signs of gnawing?

From the policeman's answer, Rosetta keenly captured the important keyword, if there is such a feature left on the corpse, it means that the existence of the corpse dog is indeed directly related to the prison escape incident and the deeper Ishiizaki people.

This made his speculation indirectly proven, and a series of questions were pointed at 'Ishiizaki', the strange man with sunglasses that concealed the different color in his pupils, and a beast tooth necklace on his chest, giving people a sense of extreme danger.

After finishing a question, Rosetta asked, "Have you police guessed about the culprit of the prison escape incident?" ”

The police officer in charge of the record shook his head: "In such a short period of time, how can there be results, not to mention that a heavy rain has passed, even if there are any traces, they have long been washed away, at most, according to the direction of the explosion, it can be inferred that among the culprits, there are at least a few people inside the prison." ”

'Inside the Prison......

For some reason, Rosetta immediately thought of Masao Takiyama, according to the prison guard, he was not the first person to go to see him at that time, and before him, there is a great possibility that the last person to see Masao Tsubaki was Ishiizaki who met in the corridor and was about to leave.

The background of the No. 3 Prison in Antgawa City, while waiting, Reiko Arakawa once talked to him casually.

In the past, the prison was nameless, but what changed it was the foundation established by the prison's biggest sponsor, Masao Tsukiyama, who had been transferred from the prison in Kyoto.

Therefore, in the waiting room of the prison, a series of works by this great writer will be prepared, and when Masao Tatsuyama is looking for folklorists to draw materials, there are no prison guards watching him.

If this great writer also became a criminal accomplice of Ishiizaki.

Then, all the clues that Rosetta has on hand are all connected.

The timeline is that Ishiizaki first went to the prison and reached some kind of unknown cooperation with Masao Tsubakiyama, and then he accidentally ran into himself on the way out, and then sent a corpse dog to attack, and at the same time prepared to escape from prison, and the great writer should be in harmony with the outside.

But......

After this was established, more questions followed.

If he simply wanted to escape from prison, Masao Tsubakiyama obviously had countless opportunities before, but if he did this, all the prestige and wealth he had accumulated in the outside world would be in vain.

- Then what conditions did Ishiizaki use to impress him?

With the explosion of the prison.

Rosetta knew that this clue was temporarily cut off here.

Even though there may be any recording equipment in the interview room, under the explosion, I am afraid that in the end, there will be nothing left.

However, being able to complete the whole picture of the matter to this extent is actually far beyond Rosetta originally expected, and just confirming that there is indeed some unknown cooperation between Masao Tsubakiyama and Ishiizaki has already led him to find a new direction to investigate.

Rosetta is not the kind of character who likes to sit back and wait, and he will not wait until Ishiizaki is free to attack himself.

His pursuit of those grotesque and bizarre things also stems in part from his strong sense of unease in being in a "different world".

And now that someone is even more threatening to his life, even if it is to relieve the uneasiness in his heart, he must continue to investigate this matter until the other party is dead and can no longer threaten himself.

Maybe it's "psionic energy", which is such a dangerous ability.

When he realized that he had stepped into the dark side, Rosetta felt that his body and mind were gradually alienated with the awakening of spiritual energy, and those things that bound him in the past were just chains that did not exist at all from beginning to end.

If we say that law and morality are the protections that mortals set up to protect themselves.

For those who possess the extraordinary power of 'supernatural powers' and even 'psionic powers', these things naturally become a cage that binds them.

Humanity's desire for freedom is like a rolling stone on a high mountain.

Once the 'shackles' wrapped around the body are broken and you have engaged in such a thing as murder, then when you encounter the same and similar situation again, the fear of killing will never be the same as before, but will subconsciously think of this 'shortcut' to solve the problem the fastest.

If this dependence on "shortcuts" is also a mental illness.

Then after breaking the shackles for the first time and obtaining spiritual energy, Rosetta was already infected with this 'disease' that had no cure.

To alleviate the suffering of this hopeless terminal illness.

He knew that he might just have to find a short-term tranquilizer called 'peace of mind' to bring him a threat...... Completely eliminated!
