The breaking news of a corpse in the basement of the opera house quickly spread throughout the program.

The first to get excited by this news was not Miku Hoshino, but Hidetoku Saki.

"I'll just say that this kid seems to be crazy and wants to cover up the existence of this basement, and it must be to destroy the evidence that he has actually killed more people!"

"But I didn't expect that kid to hide a corpse in this basement, it's really a little untasteful!"

A little unflavorful?

Whether it was Hoshino Mirai or Majima Kazusa, when they heard these three words said by Hidetoku Saki, the urge to punch him rose in their hearts.

But there was no need for Hoshino Mirai to do it himself, her assistant and housekeeper Old Man Fang Tian suddenly threw a heavy punch directly into Hidetoku Saki's face.

This punch was so powerful that it directly hit Hidetoku Saki and rolled to the ground... Even his teeth were chipping.

"What are you doing, old man?" Hidetoku Saki was extremely embarrassed by this punch, and when he wanted to stand up and fight back, he was suppressed by Mr. Fangtian's terrifying eyes.

"I punched this on behalf of the victim and the victim's family!"

Mr. Fang Tian said as he wiped the blood stains on his white gloves with a handkerchief.

"Some people have said that detectives are ghouls who can only survive by eating the dead who keep appearing... And I'm talking about people like you just ghouls! Don't let people like you tarnish the detective profession! ”

Hidetoku Saki actually wants to refute, do you think that private detectives were originally a noble profession?

But a rising star like Hoshino Miku, the prefix in front is indeed not a private detective, but more like those clever chivalrous people created in detectives, who regard the truth as their own truth.

"Fang Tian... Please check if there are any other corpses in this basement. ”

Hoshino's reaction was much colder than when she first went down to the basement, and when she instructed Old Man Fang Tian to check if there were any other corpses in this underground space...

Majima and Sasa led her directly, along with Kiyoki Airu, who was both scared and wanted to see, to the corpse covered by a white cloth.

The corpse has begun to emit an extremely eerie smell...

Because Hoshino Mirai and Majima Kazusa are often exposed to this taste, they have long been used to it, and only Kiyoki Airu is retching while still holding on to the corners of Majima Kazusa's clothes and is unwilling to let go.

Kazuya Majima also saw what this idol lady meant... I'm sick and scared, but I just want to see it!

And when Hoshino Miku saw the corpse wrapped in a white cloth, she originally thought in her heart... I can finally make Ye Falcon deflated! I can finally hit the guy who humiliated himself on the train case!

But Hoshino Miku wasn't excited at all at this time... On the contrary, a thought took over Hoshino's mind, and that was...

Is that all? Hayabusa, is this the answer you gave me? You fought with your life just to hide that you actually killed one more person? ’

Hoshino Miku knew that she shouldn't be disappointed at this time, but the disappointment was constantly spreading in her heart.

She was disappointed with the mystery, as if she had gone on a grand tomb expedition, only to find the latest version of her smartphone.

The point is that Hoshino Mirai already has a smartphone, and there is more than one.

You can't think of it that way... This is a great disrespect to the dead.

Hoshino mirai dispelled the disappointment caused by this mystery that anyone could guess as much as possible, and began to do what he should do as a detective.

"The corpse doesn't look like it's in the expansion stage, but the temperature here is estimated to be around zero degrees Celsius and minus a degree, and it's a large ice vault... So it's normal for the corpse to not show signs of swelling. ”

Hoshino Miku spat out a mouthful of white mist as she spoke, and it was only then that she realized that the temperature here had dropped below zero.

This is probably due to the fact that the temperature in Tokyo is already extremely low during this season, and the facilities located underground to keep warm here have long since ceased to operate, so it has become a natural cold storage.

Fortunately, Mr. Fang Tian was prepared, not only adding a down jacket to Hoshino Miku, but also to others... Including the recording team that came down with them, they brought a lot of blankets to keep warm.

"Majima Police, I'm going to lift the white cloth... The ensuing scene can be terrifying, and those who can't bear it immediately avoid it. ”

Miku Hoshino brought his assistant butler and handed over the forensic gloves, ready to lift the white cloth to confirm the identity of the deceased.

As for the person Hoshino wants to avoid, of course, it's Kiyoki Airu... But even if this idol lady is afraid that she is about to tear off Kazusa's coat, she has no intention of avoiding it.

Hoshino Miku didn't be polite after the warning, and directly lifted the white cloth covering this corpse with his hand!

Come on... Hayabusa, let me see what kind of identity this deceased person is from, so that you can cover up the fact that this corpse is here even if you are desperate.

Not surprisingly, the deceased was a woman who was still wearing... Costumes? It should be said that it is a singing costume.

The deceased was wearing an extremely delicate idol singing costume, and from here, it can be preliminarily judged that the deceased's identity before his death was the same as Kiyoki Airu, a singer?

But the face of the deceased looked extremely miserable... It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a blur of flesh and blood, as if it has been repeatedly hit in the face with some blunt object.

The deceased's facial features had been completely beaten by this blunt object, none of the teeth in his mouth were intact, and his eyebrow bones and the bridge of his nose had been completely cracked.

In this way, the identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed by the appearance alone.

"It's rude."

Hoshino Miku gently shook the deceased's cold hand, and after silently reciting the 'Death Mantra' in his mouth for a while, he began to check the deceased's physical condition.

First of all, the deceased must have resisted violently before she died, and Hoshino Miku confirmed that all ten of her fingers were sprained and fractured to varying degrees, and the bulging ulna on her fist also showed signs of soft tissue contusion.

Under the fierce resistance of the deceased, the clothes on his body were intact for the time being, and they were not invaded*...

But the pain in her body was no less than the humiliation caused by the invasion*, and the deceased had bruises of varying degrees all over her body.

In particular, the face must have been choked behind the neck, and he was beaten ten times and a hundred times with a blunt object...

In the end, the cause of death was that the neck was strangled for a long time, and finally suffocated to death.

"This is no longer just killing, but torture!"

Hidetoku Saki couldn't joke when he looked at the corpse's shocked appearance.

"Before he died, the deceased was choked by the neck and pushed to the ground, punched to death!"

Just when Hidetoku Saki wanted to loudly reprimand Hayabusa, that damn beast, for killing an innocent girl like this, Hidetoku Saki discovered a strange place.

"Wait a minute, the part of her rib on the right side is dented, there is not only one murderer, but at least one other murderer is beating her at that time! Don't...... Xiaoye Falcon, what he wants to hide is that he still has an accomplice?! "Hidetoku Saki reasoned here, and suddenly felt that all the puzzles had been solved!

Oh, yes! The truth that Ye Falcon tried his best to hide is that there is actually a real murderer at large in this homicide.

"Detective Hoshino, am I right?"

When Hidetoku Saki just wanted to confirm with Miku Hoshino... only to find that the reasoning queen lady was stupid in place.

"Little Detective Hoshino? Hey little detective... Looking at your surprised expression, did you make a new discovery? You're talking! ”

Hidetoku Saki's offensive look was directly grabbed by Mr. Fang Tian, and then signaled that he dared to say a word, and a new punch was about to hit him in the face again.

Majima and Sasa, who were a little worried about Miku Hoshino, who was suddenly frozen in place, patted Miku Hoshino on the shoulder with her hand.

"Miss Hoshino?"

"The murderer is not him..."

Hoshino Miku didn't realize the hand that Majima Kazusa had on his shoulder at this time, but looked at the scars on the female corpse in a daze, and kept repeating the words 'the murderer is not him'.

It should be said that it is a mudra... The most striking scar on the female corpse's body was a huge handprint that grabbed her neck.

The handprint, which had already formed a bruise, had begun to show signs of blackening, which contrasted sharply with the pale skin of the corpse.

And the most devastating thing about this handprint is that there is a dented scar on the index finger of the handprint, which indicates that the owner of the handprint is wearing a ring.

That alone is enough for Hoshino Mirai to piece together ... Most of the truth is gone.

But when Hoshino Miku discovered this truth and thought about it, her emotions broke down a little.

"Who is the murderer? Miss Hoshino, what did you find? Kazusa Majima hurriedly asked.

"The murderer who killed this victim... It's not a Konoha Hayato. ”

Miku Hoshino said with a strong heart.

"Strangled the victim's... It was one of the four ministers killed by Hayato Koba in the previous opera house homicide! I remember the name was called Norimori Misasa... He was wearing a gold ring on his right hand at the scene of his death, and although I can't say it right away, if I had sent it to the forensic examiner, I would have found the minister's fingerprints on the victim's neck. ”

"And then..."

Hoshino said as he pulled open the victim's sleeve and looked at the handprint that was also deeply imprinted on the victim's right arm.

"This mudra belongs to Minister Uda Shoshi, and the nails of his thumb are very long, so if you grab someone's arm too hard, a small pinch mark will appear here..."

When Hoshino Mirai said this, the truth was already clear, this victim was beaten to death by the four ministers!

On the other side, Ye Falcon was also stupid because of this corpse, and at this time, Ye Falcon followed the detective in the underground secret room in the state of the spirit of the eagle falcon.

Originally, Ye Falcon just asked to put an item that could be associated with the identity of Rei Mochizuki.

But who knew that there was an extra corpse directly ... But Ye Falcon soon realized that the corpse did not appear out of thin air.

It's that she's here! This body was the last victim of the 'Ring Case'...

"But if that's the case, then the leaf falcon... Xiaoye Falcon, why did he fight for his life... Cover up the existence of this corpse? ”

Kazusa Majima asked Miku Hoshino at this time... The question that pierced her heart and almost shredded it.

"Because... Because..."

Hoshino Miku adjusted his breathing several times before finally choking up and telling the truth.

"Because he wants to keep the victim's reputation."

When Miku Hoshino tells this ultimate truth...

Her mind was already filled with 'What the hell did I do?' ''What the hell did I do?! ''I'm such an incorrigible guy!'' The thought of self-blame, which was almost devouring her, was occupied by a huge sense of guilt.

"What reputation?"

Hidetoku Saki on the side didn't understand the logic for a while, but his stupid question further stimulated Hoshino's near-collapse mood.

I saw her shouting directly at Hidetoku Saki...

"Do you understand how important a girl's innocence is to her? Whether in life or after death! Maybe there are a lot of people in our country who don't care about this thing! But she! This victim is clearly very concerned about his innocence! It's even more important to her than her life! ”

Hoshino Mirai pointed to the victim who was already lying on the ground at this time, and even though her face was beaten to a bloody blur, the clothes on her body were still intact.

This is the proof that this victim defended his innocence with his life.

"I can understand what Hoshino-sama meant."

Kiyoki Airu walked to the deceased's side at this time, and didn't care about the deceased's miserable death, so she shook her cold little hand and said.

"She should also be an idol singer like me, an idol like us... It is to create a character on the stage that fans can like, whether it is real or false, practicing singing and dancing day and night... It's all about being able to show the fans their most charismatic and energetic side on stage. ”

"And we definitely don't want to... I must not let such a miserable death... If the fans knew that if I would die a miserable death like this, I would rather just rot in a corner that no one knows, at least... It's enough to keep the way I sing on stage forever in the hearts of the fans, not like this..."

These words of Kiyoki Airu are completely heartfelt.

But this also stung Hoshino Mirai even more at this moment...

The words muttered by Majima and Yarn on the side gave Hoshino Mirai a heavy blow to his heart that was now close to collapse because of self-blame.

"A girl's reputation... Is this what Ye Falcon has to defend even if he does not hesitate to fight for his own life? ”

And Miku Hoshino suddenly seemed to remember something... Immediately turned his head sideways and asked Kikuchi Akari in the distance.

"Did you capture everything that's happening here?"

"Shoot... Shoot it down! The whole people of this book are... Witnessed this scene. Kikuchi said.

It's completely finished! There is no room for redemption!

So you're satisfied, Hoshino Miku? Shredding the mask of the Hayabusato in disguise.

The secret he wanted to defend with his life was indeed displayed in front of the audience... But are you satisfied now? A heartfelt question tortured the detective's heart.

I fool! Arrogant and willful to the point of incurable calamity! What have I done now?

This detective lady has been since the train case... Once again, the SAN value was reset to zero because of the leaf falcon, and he fell into a state of mental breakdown.
