"There is a murderer among us......"

Indifferent eyes glanced at the people gathered in the hall in front of him, Junsha slowly took off the gloves that had been dyed scarlet in the middle of the autopsy, threw them into the black garbage bag next to the round table in the hall, and then solemnly announced-

Alas, I'd love to say it again, but it doesn't apply in the current situation. In fact, the Mori no Yokan where we are at this time is a semi-enclosed space that cannot be called a 'Blizzard Mountain Resort'. Not only is there smooth communication and free access, but there is also a Sinnoh champion sitting on the scene, if such an occasion can be called dangerous, then there is no safe place in the world. The elements of 'closure' are also pitiful, especially in the attic of the Western-style Pavilion where Miss Xena witnessed the tragedy, the small room on the roof is not locked at all, and it is almost as undefended as a big tongue shell that has used the "Shell Breaking" move. Not only can outsiders freely reach the roof of the Western-style building from the sky, but even the dense forest that originally sealed off the surrounding area of the mansion has been cut down earlier today, and the window glass of the Mori-no-Yokan is difficult to clean because it is close to the dense forest, and dust has accumulated on the outside for many years, so it is even more difficult for people inside to notice the movement of the outside world. There is no need for a special Pokémon that has mastered flying skills, just an ordinary human with a little climbing experience needs to come over and have the opportunity to climb to the top of the Western-style pavilion along the window frame and outer wall. Therefore, based on the above circumstances, we cannot rule out the possibility of outsiders committing crimes. ”

The night was deep, and the meal had already passed, but none of the people present were interested in enjoying the feast, and the meals prepared by the giant vines in the kitchen were naturally not on the table, and all of them were sealed in plastic wrap for the next day.

Everyone listened quietly to the police officer's speech on an empty stomach, but their eyes did not fall on Jun Sha, who made the speech, but couldn't help but frequently look at something with a strong sense of existence next to Jun Sha.

The object was placed on top of the chair, resting on a makeshift bath towel, which had been white by this time, had been stained with a dark red stain.

"Of course, there is a more important reason why I say that there are no murderers among us, in addition to the above reasons......"

Jun Sha did not shy away from raising her hand directly, and even put her ungloved palm directly on top of the bloody thing. Many of the people present saw their eyelids jump wildly.

"The more important reason is that - well, the thing Xena found on the attic food shelf wasn't really a human head."

。

Rewind the clock to a quarter of an hour ago.

At that time, the maid Xena, in order to replenish the kitchen ingredients, climbed the roof attic to find what she needed to go to the giant vines.

And as soon as she opened the unlocked door of the attic, she immediately smelled an ominous, salty, rusty iron smell.

At first, she thought it was something rotting in the storeroom, so she hurriedly turned on the light in the attic and followed the smell to find it. Then she saw the thing on the wooden shelf, and screamed in fright.

Head!

A bloody hideous human head was silently placed in the dark corner of the attic!

The seasonings that were usually stored on the single-layer shelves were pushed aside from side to side, and the bloody head under the neck was just like this, with its eyes wide open, and it was placed between a group of bottles and cans of different heights. In the pale light, the wide-open, cloudy eyes were like dead ghosts.

Is this a prank? It must be a prank! Someone must have put this head wax figure here to be scary...... As soon as such a hope rose in Zina's heart, it was instantly extinguished by the cold water called the truth.

Before she knew it, Xena had reached out her palm and reached out to that terrible thing—

The human head is lifelike, but it is clearly too dead to die. When your fingertips touch your cheeks, you can feel the cold touch and feel the presence of pores - this is real human skin! It's not a wax figure or any other model that can simulate it!

Looking down, the wooden frame under the skull, and the ground beneath it, were now dark red, emitting a terrifying smell of blood, and it was impossible for any red pigment or artificial plasma to simulate such a chilling bloody aura. In fact, it was this pool of blood that attracted Miss Zina to notice something strange in the attic as soon as she entered the door.

Whoever came to see this terrible scene with their own eyes would immediately make up the blood in their brains and flow out of the section of the neck, gathering a large blood-red puddle directly below the wooden frame.

But by the time Xena found the scene, the dark red puddle was nearly dry, and the blood on the ground was somewhere between a viscous liquid and a semi-congealed colloidal clot.

The reason why the maid was so impressed was that the moment she confirmed that it was a living human head, she was immediately frightened and sat down, and was sitting next to the bloodstains, almost touching the terrible liquid.

Just when Xena's mind was dazed and her thoughts were spinning, a white-gloved palm lifted her up from the ground, it was Officer Junsha in a police uniform.

Behind Miss Police Officer, there were also people in the hall with surprised faces—Maidan, Hayden, and Steward Ah Ying did not show up, and the rest of the people were all attracted to the roof by the girl's screams.

"Don't call the police just yet, it's a bit weird."

Miss Junsha, who was holding Xena, showed a calmness worthy of her uniform when facing the murder case.

But at this moment, the first words that came out of her mouth were very confusing to the maidess.

It was a terrible, fierce, blood-drenched human head!

Behind the scenes of every bloody head, there is a pair of empty shoulders above, which inevitably announces the occurrence of a murder.

There should be no reason to hide from the police!

And the police officer also gave her own reasons at this time-

"The head showed no signs of decay for a long time, and the blood on the ground had not completely dried up, suggesting that the murder had taken place not far from now. But the attic was too clean for the amount of bleeding from the severed heads, and it was clear that it was not a place for murder or beheading. Therefore, the most plausible explanation at this moment is that someone killed the man somewhere outside the attic, cut off his head, and then carried it to the roof of the Mori no Yokan and placed it on this wooden shelf. ”

"And he...... Why did he do it? ”

Neil asked in a trembling whisper, as if talking to himself. I don't know if he was asking about the criminal's motive for committing the crime, or if he was confused about the reason why the other party put his head in the Mori no Yokan after committing the crime.

"In general, such brutal beheadings are likely to be for demonstration. But if it is to show off the ferocity, the prisoner should choose a more conspicuous position...... For example, the indoor lobby on the first floor or the entrance connecting the roof to the second floor is in the middle, well...... Hanging a rope in front of a window glass is also an effective deterrent. But instead of doing so, the prisoner put his head in the corner of the dark storage room. Miss Xena, I look at the traces of use in this attic, you probably haven't used this pantry much, right? ”

Suddenly hearing her name, the maid who had just gotten up from the ground trembled, and stuttered for a long time before answering—

"Big, most of the food is in the refrigerator in the kitchen, and it's almost used up before I come here to get the storage portions. Normal frequency, uh...... I will come here once in about a week. ”

"Well, it's about what I expected." Junsha nodded, "If you put the head in this attic, it's likely that no one will notice the anomaly until a week later, which is too inefficient for demonstrations." And if we rule out the possibility that the murderer placed the head in order to show his ferocity, what exactly did the prisoner hide the head in the attic of the Mori no Yokan? ”

Xena, Neil, and Venesha looked at each other.

"Framed, framed, or attacked." Zhulan Champion said calmly, "No matter which one of them, calling the police center in Momoyo City is not a perfect choice. ”

"That being said, part of the reason why I asked you not to call the police is out of selfishness." Junsha said suddenly.

"Although I also do intelligence search and other work, the department I work in is different from the police in the ordinary sense. The reason why I came to this forest house was also due to an order from the department. ”

Junsha, who has always been called Miss Police Officer, stretched out her hand and pointed to the bloody human head.

"You told Miss Maid before, right? My job is to investigate the relationship between this Mori no Yokan and the Milky Way Pack, an evil organization that once ravaged the Sinnoh region. ”

Everyone followed Junsha's fingers and looked back at the deceased's head. Since the head was severed from the neck up, the Adam's apple could not be seen, and there were no obvious gender features in the hideous face of the deceased, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female. But on top of the bloody skull section, there is a flush bangs with a somewhat rustic shape.

Miss Junsha's calm voice sounded, and there was a hint of self-deprecation between her words-

"It just so happens that my hair is the same hair color. However, this kind of dark green hair with short bangs in the style of pulling and pulling silk doesn't you feel a little familiar? ”

How can it not be familiar, it's just that the bloody picture of everyone being killed and beheaded before was shocking, and they didn't think about it for a while.

At this time, it was broken by Jun Sha's words, and everyone was shocked. Wellnessa, who had never spoken before, couldn't help but be the first to exclaim, and directly announced the guess in her heart-

"Could this dead man be a subordinate of the evil organization Galactic Regiment?"
