Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 367 Analysis of the Murderer's Residence

He observed carefully, the warehouse is about [-] square meters, it is a small and medium warehouse.

But almost all the Murderer's furniture is crowded together...not so densely, but almost overlapped.

The iron frame bed was stuck in the corner, the broken sofa was stuck in front of the iron frame bed, and there was a cabinet behind the bed, which meant that the murderer had to step on the sofa to go to bed.

More than a dozen mobile phones and more than 30 large and small schoolbags were neatly placed above the iron frame bed, which made Arakawa wonder whether this murderer slept on the schoolbag at night?Even if you take out everything in the bag, don't you feel panicked?
The small kettle with batteries is also placed on the sofa, and money, various feminine hygiene products, watches, perfume, blush and other items are also neatly placed on the sofa, because there is water in the ground, and it will not be good if it falls. So the murderer still used a wooden board to block the edge of the sofa to prevent things from falling.

In such a large warehouse, the murderer's "room" is less than five square meters.

So many things, crammed into one place.

It seems that this guy has been locked up in a small place for a long time, so when his living place becomes larger, he doesn't know how to tidy it up, so he can only place these "trophies" in the original way.

But what made Arakawa Wang curious was that the money was fine, so why keep these cosmetics and sanitary napkins?Is it strange?

Is the murderer a woman?
There is such a possibility.

Then he opened the drawer and found some clothes inside. It looked like they had been washed, but his washing skills were not good enough. The clothes were not very clean, but there was a smell of perfume, which must have been those girls' perfume.

And this thing that looks the same as the bedside table is actually the wardrobe of the murderer.

He opened it layer by layer, with clothes on top, then pants, underwear, and socks.

Including his schoolbag and other things, he rummaged through them, but couldn't find anything that could prove the murderer's identity.

He sighed, and was about to put the things back in place. If he couldn't find it, it didn't mean that others couldn't find it either.

There will be other more professional people coming tomorrow, maybe they can find something that the killer missed.

But he can now be sure that this murderer has been locked in a narrow and claustrophobic space for a long time, and he should go back to find a place with less space in a short time.

This information is not very useful. The search range can be expanded to almost the whole world. Capsule hotels in Japan can only accommodate one person to lie down, but in Tokyo alone, there are more than [-] such hotels, and there is a high probability that the murderer will not go In that kind of place, he would definitely choose a place that was narrow but had room for him to keep the corpse.

That kind of person takes pleasure in killing, and he can't stop.

Nozomi Arakawa picked up the last sock and threw it into the drawer.

But he froze for a moment, and took out the sock again.

Because he felt strange when he picked up the socks, and there seemed to be some hard flake objects inside.

He took it out of the sock and saw that it was a photo.

The photo is not big, only four or five inches, and it is very old, with traces of being folded, and because it has been cropped, there are irregular jagged edges around it.

But Arakawa was stunned.

Because there is only a little girl in the photo.

The girl only had half of her body, she seemed a little shy, she didn't dare to appear in front of the camera, she shyly hid behind someone...

But Nozomi Arakawa recognized it!

That shy girl is none other than Qianyue Qiuxue! !

Why does this murderer have Qiu Xue's photo?

Nozomi Arakawa was stunned. Sure enough, the murderer targeted not only the exorcist, but also the Qianyue family...

... * ...

In the middle of the night, Qiu Xue bid farewell to Police Officer Sasaki.

She left the cup on the table, got up from the sofa, and went to the library on the east side alone.

Taking out the key to open the door of the library, she stepped into it, came to the place where the penultimate bookcase on the left was next to the wall, and gently pressed her palm on the dark red brick wall in the fifth row and fourth row .

This is the magic workshop of Qianyue's family. She recited the syllables silently, and the blue light slowly emerged. The wall seemed to be a reflection of the water surface, and it started to fluctuate, and finally a deep passage appeared.

As Qiu Xue stepped in, the candle lights on both sides of the passage automatically lit up.

Through the long corridor, she finally came to the fork.

But this time, she was going to the right.

There was a line of English on the photo that Sasaki showed her. What made her decide to come here was not the content of the text, but the text itself, the crooked and ridiculous font.

"No..." She took a deep breath at the fork, "It can't be yours."

At this moment, a hoarse and violent roar came from the depths of the passage on the right.

When Qiu Xue heard this voice, she immediately felt at ease.

That's right, it's just that I'm suspicious, that person can't escape.

She turned around, ready to go back, but didn't move.

The handwriting...is exactly the same.

This thing can be imitated, but not exactly the same.

She was too familiar with that handwriting, it was the owner of this handwriting who held her hand and taught her to write her name, not a man named Chizuki Tokiomi.

Time has passed, and Qiu Xue's handwriting has been very beautiful, but because the man has been in the dungeon all year round, he has not been able to get any chance to learn knowledge.

It's not that she doesn't give it, but that she doesn't dare.

After so many years, she didn't even dare to approach this passage, otherwise she would still be reminded of the memory that she couldn't bear to look at directly, which was an eternal shadow in her heart.

"Just take a look... I want to make sure he's really still there."

Qiu Xue stroked her heart to calm down her beating.

She came to the wooden door at the end of the passage, put her finger on it lightly, and took a deep breath.

No matter what kind of situation she sees next, she will face it bravely.

The barrier on the door stopped working, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened with creaking sounds...

Qiu Xue was stunned.

... * ...

"Hello, Arakawa-kun?"

On the way home from Wang Arakawa, he had just finished telling Akira Nakazawa what he understood about the murderer when Kosuke Kishimoto called him.

"I'm here, tell me something."

"Arakawa-kun, do you know about the murder that happened in front of Qianyue's house?"

"Of course I know what happened in front of my house, what's wrong?" An ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"When we placed Mizumoto, we found that her back was engraved." Kosuke Kishimoto's voice was almost squeezed out of his throat, "A line of English, which translates to 'I am free'."

Nozomi Arakawa pursed his lips.

He swore that he must chop this murderer into meat paste.
