If it's really the same as he thinks, then there will definitely be people killed next......

But what is the purpose of the murderer's murder?

Killings are carried out according to the characteristics of the corpses of each family.

Thinking about it, Fujino asked Junya Kazesai, "Uncle Kazesai, do anyone else know about these dried corpses besides the people in the village?" ”

"I don't know."

Uncle Fengsai's face was a little strange: "The secrets of these guardian gods are only known to the owners of the various pavilions in our village, and others should not know about it, and according to the rules, it is impossible for other pavilion owners to tell it, and you also discovered this secret, so I will take you to take a look." ”

"Is that so?"

Fujino paid attention to the wind festival Junya, and at the same time thought secretly in his heart.

Obviously, the murderer must have been familiar with the village.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have known that the skylight on the top of the church was just right to hang the bed and kill Wakaba.

Now, the only one who meets the characteristics of a murderer is Foggy......

Thinking about it, Fujino opened the system task interface:

[Detective Career Mission: Murder in Hexagonal Village.]

Objective: Solve a murder case that took place in a church

Reward: 1,000,000 Detective Reputation】

Judging from the fact that the mission has not yet been completed, the murderer is definitely not a foggy man.

If it was really her, then the system task must have been completed long ago after he said the modus operandi and the police determined that Dou Wuzi was the murderer.

The time also came in the afternoon.

Coming out of the basement where the dried corpses were stored, Fujino returned to the guest room of the Tokita family.

"Abominable ......"

Fujino scratched his head, he didn't have a clue about this murder case.

He has basically restored the method of killing.

But the killer could not be identified at all.

In terms of technique, Doukiko is the most likely to achieve this technique, but she is not the murderer.

If he disappears, it is likely that he has been killed by the murderer.

As things stand, there is no one who is a suspect in the murder of Wakaba......

All have an alibi.

Could it be that Wakaba killed himself?

Fujino quickly threw the idea away.

If it is said that Tsukiko killed Tokita Wakaba, it would be reasonable.

But it's a bit unreasonable to kill yourself.

…………

At noon, the body of another person was found.

The Ichishiki Yin man of the Color Glass Museum was found dead in the refrigerator of his home, and his right foot was cut off.

On his back, it was also written that "the revenge of the seventh corpse is not over".

According to the police who came here in the morning and stayed in the village, and investigated with the officers of the forensic section, the time of death of Isshiki Yin was in the afternoon, and he died after being stabbed through the heart and cutting off a leg.

However, due to the size of the area, the few police officers who remained in the village for a while were unable to do an alibi.

Fujino immediately found the secret room in this villa and checked the dried corpses inside.

Just as he had guessed, the dried corpse in the chamber had no right foot.

Corresponding to the murdered Isshiki Yin man.

"Curse! It must be a curse! ”

As soon as Fujino returned to the scene of the crime, he saw Tokita 13 shouting frantically: "It must be their curse!" All six people on that day will be killed! ”

"Six people that day, cursed?"

Fujino looked at the madness and muttered to himself, and then left straight away Tokita Thirteen, his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, feeling a little confused.

As it stands, the people who were killed were connected to their own dried corpses.

It's just that Tokita Thirteen said 'that day' and 'they' made Fujino a little confused......

Could it be that these dried corpses have some direct connection with these owners?

If that's the case, then there is a conflict with what Uncle Katsuri said that has been handed down since ancient times.

Haven't waited for Fujino to figure it out.

Immediately, another body was found.

It is the third son of Kusanagi of the Ivy Museum.

The cause of death was the same as that of Isshiki Yin.

They were all pierced through the heart and their legs were cut off.

It's just that her severed leg is the left leg.

On the curtain on the side, it was still written in blood that the blood of the seventh corpse's revenge had not yet dried up.

Fujino found the secret room as usual and examined the dried corpse.

As expected, the corpse lost its left leg.

It's just that on this dried corpse, Fujino keenly discovered something.

That is, the teeth of this dried corpse, which have been treated with modern medical and dental instruments.

From the traces, Fujino can judge that the survival time of these corpses should be in recent decades, not the so-called ancient times......

"In recent decades?"

Fujino's gaze was fixed on the corpse lying peacefully in the sarcophagus.

His mind suddenly remembered the pastor's family who had been burned to death in the church fire twenty-seven years ago......

Judging by the skeleton of the corpse, it is indeed the corpse of a woman.

It's a match for the pastor's daughter.

But why did they leave the body of the pastor's daughter's in their mansion?

Thinking of this, Fujino became more and more puzzled.

But he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the secret of this village.

At the same time, the identity of the murderer is also directly related to this series of secrets.

…………

After briefly discussing the case with the police, Fujino did not mention the traces found on the dried corpse.

Instead, he returned to Tokita's house, intending to go to Tokita Thirteen to ask about the curse.

But the other party was not at home, so Fujino searched around the village and finally found Tokita Thirteen.

However, he found that the other party's behavior was a little suspicious......

Fujino followed him, through a nearby forest, a steep forest path that winded, over a fence with a no-entry sign, and over a swamp to an endless 'meadow'.

It's just that these grasses have a strange shape, and unlike normal plants, they are obviously carefully cultivated.

"Curse, it's all because of these abominable marijuana!"

Shi Tian Thirteen knelt on the ground and hammered the ground with both hands: "If it weren't for these hateful 'golden apples', Ruoye wouldn't have ...... it."

'Golden apple? ’

Fujino was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized.

The so-called golden apple, judging from what Tokita Thirteen just said, should be marijuana.

Immediately, he stepped forward and greeted: "Mr. Shitian." ”

"Nani?!"

Shi Tian 13 turned his head in surprise, "Who ......the hell are you?"

"A hundred years ago, a group of priests came to this village in search of golden apples, and they found golden apples and planted them here......"

Fujino glanced around, "If I'm not mistaken, those golden apples must be marijuana, right?" ”

"With marijuana on this scale, your entire village should be involved in it, right?"

Tokita 13 looked at Fujino with a gloomy face and did not speak.

"It's easy to say that you grow marijuana, it's clear at a glance."

Fujino walked forward slowly and said in a deep voice: "What I really care about is the seven corpses, after all, judging from the situation of the three corpses I saw, they are not the patron saints of the village at all, but have been burned alive by the fire in recent decades. ”

"It just so happened that twenty-seven years ago, the pastor's family in the middle of the village died in the fire...... All parts of the bodies of the seven bodies were cut off, and the body parts lost by the victims who were killed one after another were the same as the bodies of their own families. ”

After a pause, Fujino's gaze turned to Tokita Thirteen: "Mr. Tokita, you just said that there is a curse, and revenge and the like, this should be related to the death of the priest's family, right?" ”

A drop of cold sweat left on Shi Tian Thirteen's forehead, and he still didn't speak.

For something like this, it was Fujino's expectation that the other party would keep his mouth shut.

So Fujino decided to play the emotional card, looked at Tokita Thirteen and said, "Mr. Tokita, you should also want to catch the murderer of Wakaba, right?" ”

"What if...... Wakaba ......"

Shida Thirteen was stunned when he heard this, "You, are you sure you can find the murderer of Wakaba?" ”

"I'm sure."

Fujino nodded: "As long as you tell what these corpses are, and marijuana." ”

"In that case...... Okay, I'll tell you everything. ”

Shi Tian Thirteen hesitated for a moment, feeling that his only daughter was dead now anyway, and it was a dead end anyway, so he took a heart and got out of the whole situation.

One hundred years ago, missionaries who came to the village from abroad found wild marijuana and profited from it with their followers, six families living in the Inhuman Pavilion, and the priest of the church.

After the missionaries left, the seven families in the village agreed to secretly cultivate marijuana together and not let the rest of the village know about it, so as to secretly collect money.

But just twenty-seven years ago, the pastor's descendants suddenly didn't want to continue growing marijuana.

The pastor and his wife adopted seven young orphans, and it was because of those children that the pastor had the idea of stopping the cultivation of marijuana.

But this is clearly a conflict of interest with the other six families in the village.

After several negotiations, the pastor and others did not reach a mutual agreement, until the negotiations finally broke down and the pastor decided to call the police.

Then, the six curators of the village shot the priest and his wife who were planning to set fire to the hemp field.

After that, they forcibly imprisoned seven pastors' children in the church and set fire to them all.

But in the ruins of the church afterwards, the bodies of the girls were partially missing, as if they had been cut off by the claws of the devil......

After that, each of the six pavilion owners returned to their own pavilion with a corpse and hid it in a secret room.

After listening to the whole thing, Fujino's face suddenly became gloomy.

Nine people were killed in a row, and there were even seven children who were not adults.

After his death, the body was brought back to his home......

This group of people is really a beast.

But taking a deep breath and calming down, Fujino still grasped the gist of the matter: "These corpses, when you found them, were already like this, didn't you cut them open?" ”

"It's not...... We didn't do that......"

Shi Tian Thirteen's face was slightly painful, and his forehead was already soaked with sweat: "We brought these corpses back just to restrain each other, so that no one can have the intention of quitting or calling the police again...... Because that's the evidence of our crimes. ”

"I already know ......"

Fujino nodded, and the clues in his mind gradually connected: "If my guess is correct, then in fact, there are only six of these seven corpses." ”

"Only six?!"

Tokita's eyes widened.

"That's right."

Fujino explained, "If you cut off a part of each part, you make up the seventh corpse...... The one who killed Wakaba may actually be the serial murder trap set by the girl who survived the year in order to take revenge on you......"

The motive for the murder was determined, and the two had just returned to the village when they heard that the body of another person had been found.

This time, it was Foggy who died......

The fog was hidden in the armor at the entrance of the Armor Pavilion.

At this time, she was removed from her left shoulder, and her head was separated from her body.

On the back of the armor, it was also written in blood [The seventh corpse, this is the second person, the blood has not been shed enough!] 】

After the identification of the police who stayed behind, the time of death of Doukiko was about the same as that of Wakaba.

In other words, at the same time that Wakaba was killed, Doukiko had already been killed.

Fujino sneaks into the secret room of the Armor Pavilion.

"Different?"

Fujino looked at the corpse in the coffin in front of him, stunned.

The corpse lying in the coffin lost the lower half of the body, and the foggy man lost the shoulder from the left side.

This time, the pattern is completely out of order.

From Wakaba, who was the first to be killed, to Yin Nan later, and Kusanagi, all three of them lost the corresponding part of their own corpse.

But this time, there was something unusual.

But in the midst of the abnormality, Fujino smelled a hint.

"That's ...... so"

Fujino took a deep breath, looked at the dried corpse in front of him, and lowered his head: "Did you kill yourself?" ”
