"Huh? What video? How inexplicable? ”

Hearing Officer Twilight's words, Kudo Shinichi frowned.

Just before he could ask anything, the phone had already hung up.

After a moment's hesitation, Kudo Shinichi still opened the mailbox.

But after clicking on that video, his face changed instantly.

"How is that possible?!"

The man in the picture is the Yayoi Kusama that Kudo Shinichi is looking for.

But he was in a dimly lit room at the moment, and he seemed to be unconscious.

He had been strapped to an iron chair with a wrist-thick chain, and a rusty device was attached to his head.

That's when it happened.

Woo-la-la!!

Suddenly, there was a high-pitched, shrill sound of electricity in the video, like the kind of noise that an old-fashioned TV would emit when it loses its signal.

Shinichi Kudo covered his ears in some pain.

But the noise soon died down.

An eerie figure wearing a smiley mask appeared on the screen behind Kusama.

"Hah! Welcome to the video, I am the judge of this trial, twenty faces. ”

He said in a hoarse voice with a smile, "Of course, I would be happier if you were willing to call me a smiley face." ”

"Now in front of you is our protagonist, the person on trial in this trial, Yayoi Kusama."

At this time, Yayoi Kusama on the chair also slowly opened her eyes.

"This is ......"

When he came back to his senses, he found himself shackled to an iron chair.

There was a device on his head, and something was stuffed in his mouth, and his mouth was full of the smell of blood and rust.

There was also a pain in his shoulder.

Shinichi Kudo watched the video, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Twenty faces? Inquisitor? The person on trial? ”

What does this self-proclaimed "smiley" guy want to do?

At the same time, the video was also posted on several forums online.

After clicking on the video, many netizens were also full of doubts, and they posted their own complaints.

"Twenty faces? What the hell? ”

"Is this some kind of spoof video? It seems to be a lot of fun! ”

"Hey, why do you feel like that person is a little familiar? The name is exactly the same, as if it were my psychiatrist. ”

Some people on the forum have already begun to recognize Kusama's identity.

The video continues to play.

"Kusama-san, hello~"

A hoarse voice sounded in the dim space, causing Kusama to suddenly feel a sensation.

That guy...... Is it right behind you?

Kusama frowned, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

The smiling face said in a frivolous tone, and explained: "Today, I will judge you, and the trial is for murder and instigation~"

Hearing this, Kusama was stunned for a moment, and then let out a sneer.

"Trial? What, are you playing role-playing? ”

The smiley face ignored Kusama Yayoi and continued to say in a smiling voice:

"Yayoi Kusama, male, 36 years old."

"Three years ago, the first crime was committed, and after luring the patient to his home, he fell into a coma, put him in a steamer, steamed for three hours, and steamed to death."

"Two years ago, in an old building at the foot of a suburban mountain, you instigated a person to kidnap a girl......"

"...... a year ago"

"...... three months ago"

"...... two months ago"

"In the past three years, in order to satisfy your own desires, you have brainwashed patients with psychological defects, instigated them to kill more than a dozen innocent people, and those people have been eaten by you."

The tone of the smiling face is very flat, telling the sins of Yayoi Kusama word by word.

Kusama's brows gradually furrowed, and her face became gloomy and watery.

"How do you know these things?"

Except for the first crime, he instigated others every time, and was careful not to leave any clues.

How could this masked guy know in such detail?

At the same time, the forum also completely exploded.

The extremely cruel crimes made the netizens on the forum unbelievable.

"Huh, cannibalism? Really?! ”

"This ...... Doesn't it sound like it's fake, don't you see him admit it all? ”

"But don't jump to conclusions until you have evidence."

Off the screen, Shinichi Kudo was also watching the video.

Jingle Bell!!

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Shinichi Kudo answered decisively.

"Brother Kudo, have you finished watching the video?"

"No, I'm watching."

Kudo Shinichi said with a solemn expression: "Officer Twilight, what the hell is going on with this video?" ”

The voice on the other end of the phone was also a little muffled.

"I don't know very well, but when the police officer sent this video to me, the video had already spread on the Internet."

"Among the crimes read by the masked man is the victim of the gourmet case, so I wanted to ask you if you have any clues."

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi's face instantly became ugly.

"Yayoi Kusama is a real gourmet, and that smiling face kidnapped him before me!"

"What?!" Officer Twilight's loud voice came from disbelief, "So, is that smiling face true?" ”

Kudo Shinichi rubbed his forehead with a little headache.

"I don't want to admit it so hastily, but that guy should be right."

If Kusama had really committed so many cruel and criminal acts, perhaps......

At the moment when the bold idea arises, Kudo Shinichi immediately shook his head, and then stared at the video screen closely.

Kusama's space is small, with two windows on the wall that are covered by wooden panels.

The planks weren't the right size, the windows weren't completely sealed, and there were some crevices.

"Wait! It's ......"

Shinichi Kudo's eyes widened as he stared at the window, and a flash of red light caught his attention.

Although the pixels of the video are poor, you can faintly see the flickering "optical flow" and the red "ン高" lettering.

"Tsuka? Teidan High School (ディダン High School)? ”

Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he called again: "Officer Twilight, you have someone to check if there are any abandoned buildings near Teidan High School where you can see the river." ”

"Good! I'll go now! ”

Kudo Shinichi turned back and continued to stare at the video feed.

At this time, although it felt that the current situation was not good, Kusama remained calm.

"Twenty faces, smiley faces, right?"

"What do you want, is it money, is 10 million enough?"

As she spoke, Kusama was still shaking her body, trying to break free from the chains that were tied to her wrists.

"Ha, I don't need money, money doesn't make me feel satisfied."

The smiley face didn't seem to notice, but let out a chuckle: "I just have a question, I don't know if you can answer it for me." ”

Feeling the loose chains, Kusama squinted her eyes slightly, and also showed a smile.

"Tell me, I'd love to help you out."

"Mr. Kusama, I'm curious, what are you thinking when you enjoy your food?"
