Chapter 311 The Headless Case

"Sir, a major murder occurred at Horikawa High School!"

Soon, with the report of the special assault force, Sakai's thoughts were drawn back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"...The monks of the Kinkakuji Temple were found dead in the school hall. All the corpses were decapitated with sharp blades above the head, and no monks' heads were found at the scene."

Under the gaze of Sakai, the special raid team introduced the details of the murder case.

"Headless corpse?"

Hearing the circumstances of the murder, Sakai couldn't help but murmured.

The headless murder case had been recorded in the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

More importantly, not long ago, Sakai saw the description of the headless female corpse from "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes".

If he had come to Kyoto, Sakai might have only regarded all of this as a murderous method of a perverted killer, but after getting in touch with Keiko Watanabe, Sakai quickly judged that all of this may be the same as "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes" There is a certain connection between the described headless female corpse.

"Arrange the Metropolitan Police Department to block Horikawa High School. No one is allowed to enter the school until the investigation results are out!"

Sakai's original mission in Kyoto was to investigate and cover up Keiko's incident in the time capsule.

Although Keiko Watanabe, who was the target, was already trapped in the laboratory because of the phone.

However, Sakai was clearly aware of the particularity of Horikawa High School, where the incident took place.

Judging from "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes", Keiko in the time capsule is obviously not a product of some coincidence. Perhaps Horikawa High School, which is the source of the incident, is the key to everything.

……

Horikawa High School, the school gate.

The cordon pulled up by the police sealed off the gate. Looking at the policemen who appeared at the gate, passers-by had curious eyes on their faces.

Not far away, there are even more people gathered, constantly looking at the situation of the school.

If it weren't for the deterrent uniforms worn by the policemen in the surrounding Metropolitan Police Department, they might have broken into the school long ago.

"It's the same way to die again!"

School, inside the auditorium.

Yamamoto couldn't help frowning as he looked at the headless corpses that were randomly piled up together and soaked in a lot of blood on the floor.

"This time, could it be the hand of the statue again?"

Looking at the headless corpses of the Kinkakuji monks, the Metropolitan Police Department police officer who was also in charge of the previous investigation of Tanaka's headless corpses couldn't help but speak.

"Hasn't the Metropolitan Police Department already studied the broken plaster statue and determined that it is just an ordinary statue, and there is nothing unusual about it at all."

Although, because of the testimony of Inoue and others, the Metropolitan Police Department paid some attention to the broken statue at the scene.

However, as follow-up reports come out.

But it made the seemingly clear case become complicated and confusing again.

"In my opinion, rather than saying that the statue killed people, I would rather believe that it was done by a certain psycho killer."

"According to the security guard at Horikawa High School that day, the chanting sound of the Kinkakuji monks continued until the morning, and they also saw the sitting figures of these monks this morning..."

Listening to his colleague's words, Yamamoto's eyes fell on the solidified black bloodstain on the auditorium floor.

"If the monk continued to perform rituals for half a day, then obviously the death time of the corpse at the scene does not match, so..."

"...So, the only possibility is that after the resurrected headless statues cut off the heads of the monks of the Kinkakuji Temple, they continued to perform rituals as they did before."

Entering the auditorium, Sakai interrupted Yamamoto's words and judged.

"In the case of Tanaka's death before, Inoue once mentioned that he had talked with Tanaka, who was confirmed dead at that time, more than once, and he stayed with him in the art department for a period of time, that is to say, those resurrected After getting the head, the headless statue will play the role of head owner to some extent..."

Everything that Sakai said was based on what the Metropolitan Police Department had obtained from the previous trial of a no-nonsense case.

"However, the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation proved that the composition of the plaster statue is just ordinary plaster, and there is nothing special about it?"

Looking at Sakai who appeared at the scene of the crime, a policeman from the Metropolitan Police Department said unwillingly.

"I originally thought that after experiencing Keiko's case, people from the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department would be alert."

Frowning, he glanced at the Metropolitan Police who opened his eyes.

A look of disappointment flashed across Sakai's face.

And at this moment, the special assault force appeared by his side.

"Report sir, it has been investigated, and all the headless statues originally located in the art department have disappeared."

"what?!"

Hearing the report from the special assault unit, the Metropolitan Police Department next to Yamamoto suddenly showed a mixed expression of astonishment and annoyance.

Because the corpses were all in the auditorium, he actually ignored the investigation of the old school building and missed such an important clue.

Not paying attention to the annoyed looks of the people in the Metropolitan Police Department, Sakai nodded slightly after listening to the report of the special assault force.

"Continue to investigate. Those missing statues will not go too far. People will go to Kinkakuji Temple to ask if the monk in charge of Horikawa High School's religious affairs has returned to the temple. At the same time, search the vicinity and ask if anyone can see the monk who can appear nearby."

For these headless statues, Sakai did not show too much panic, but gave orders calmly.

It has been seen from Tanaka's case that although the headless statue's action and killing mode is weird, it is not too strong, at least not as deadly as Keiko.

Once the opportunity is seized, even high school students like Inoue and the others can easily destroy it.

The reason why the monks of Kinkakuji were killed by these headless statues was because of their fear of them.

Following Sakai's order, members of the Special Assault Force moved quickly.

But in the auditorium, Sakai's eyes turned slightly and landed on the principal beside him.

So many things happened in Horikawa High School that even the monks who were invited to perform rituals were all killed.

The headmaster was obviously completely desperate.

He knew that with so many murders, the future prospects of Horikawa High School were doomed to be worrisome even if they continued. With the spread of various rumors, the future school would become worse and worse.

"Mr. Principal, I need your help with something, I hope you can cooperate with my work."

Of course, the future of Horikawa High School or the principal is not what Sakai cares about.

He walked up to the principal, stared at the pale man, and then spoke out his request.
