Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 118 The Bizarre Adventure of Sakura Ruriko (Part [-])
After frightening Nishimoto Ken out again, Sakura Ruriko tidied up the scene and left Nishimoto Ken's house.

This trip has been very rewarding for her.

Nishimoto Ken has already told the truth about the death of Keiji Aso 12 years ago.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, Keiji Aso's family did not die by self-immolation at all, but were killed by others.

The people who killed them were the same reasoning as before, and they were Nishimoto Ken, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kameyama Isamu and Kawashima Hideo who claimed to have witnessed the scene.

Although what happened 12 years ago has been clarified, the matter of Isamu Kameyama and the current case are still confusing.

According to Ken Nishimoto's confession, he firmly believed in the curse of the piano, and believed that Kameyama Isamu and Kawashima Hideo were cursed to death.

Seeing Ken Nishimoto's frightened appearance and hollowed out body, it is hard to imagine that he will be able to deal with the tall and burly Hideo Kawashima.

The likelihood of him committing a murder out of guilt is greatly reduced.

It is worth noting that in order to repent and pray for his life, Nishimoto Ken also said some dirty things that are unknown.

For example, he himself is jealous of Keiji Aso's talent, Isamu Kameyama covets Mrs. Aso's beauty, and so on.

So even if there was no murderous incident, these four people did not have any kindness towards Keiji Aso.

Here he mentioned one thing about Heiyan Chenji, he said that Heiyan Chenji has an unusual obsession with power.

Keiji Aso had a better relationship with Isamu Kameyama back then, so he was on his side in the election for the village chief, and Kuroiwa Tatsuji was very dissatisfied with this.

Based on this inference, Tatsuji Kuroiwa seems to have little hope for the village chief election this time. Will he take the opportunity to kill Hideo Kawashima and blame Masato Shimizu to eliminate political enemies?

Anyway, as long as the case can't be solved, the nasty things from 12 years ago may not be completely uncovered. Besides, he is still the village head now, so some things can be suppressed.

Of course, if Masato Shimizu knew what happened 12 years ago, he might do the same.

Therefore, the second stop of Sakura Ruriko chose Kuroiwa Tatsuji's mansion. From the perspective of distance, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's house is also relatively close to Nishimoto Ken's house.

After all, Kuroiwa Tatsuji is the current village head and a wealthy family. It is also a villa and mansion. The scale and ostentation are much better than the haunted house of Nishimoto Ken.

It seems that because Kogoro Mori gave the warning in advance, the villa is heavily guarded, while Sakura Shuli turned around and couldn't find a place for ordinary people to enter or exit.

Is Yingshu Liulizi an ordinary person?
Of course not!

The title of Sakura Ruriko is "Magician's Sacrifice".

[Title] is something that Jin Tianyi and Er didn't have, so it's not a decoration.

Yingshu Liulizi hid in a nearby woods, found a clean place, and drew a magic circle on the ground. She closed her eyes, knelt down in the magic circle and prayed, and after a while, her body A layer of blood mist emerged.

The blood mist became thicker and thicker, slowly enveloping the entire magic circle, and Liu Lizi gradually disappeared.

The blood mist is getting thicker and thicker, and it seems to be congealed gradually, and it is still churning and wriggling.

In the end it looked like a wall made of flesh and blood, and it was still alive.

If this is seen by others, the appointment will be frightened.

After a while, the blood mist gradually thinned, and finally dissipated. The strange thing is that Sakura Liulizi, who was originally in the magic circle, also disappeared.

In fact, Yingshu Liulizi sacrificed her body just now, and now exists in the form of a ghost.

(Her soul is still pinned on the cloak. This so-called ghost form refers to a collection of ghost-like consciousness.)
At this moment, Yingshu Liulizi has no entity, so naturally she will not be seen by others. It is easy to sneak into Heiyan Tatsuji's house and eavesdrop.

The only problem is that this state cannot affect the entity, it can only be used to sneak in and eavesdrop, and it can only exist in the dark. According to the current season, it will automatically disappear around [-] o'clock in the morning.

There are two ways she can be revived while in ghost state.

The first way is to return to the Reasoning Research Society within the time limit, and use the reasoning research society's once-a-month status recall ability to restore your state to the state before using the sacrifice, that is, resurrection with full blood.

The second is the return of the soul [Magic Death Cloak], and then revive in the form of a soul next to Kindaichi, and then he will bring the cloak into the reasoning research meeting to resurrect with full blood or through a long period of time to cultivate and resurrect in the cloak.

This is one of the reasons why she gave the cloak to Kindaichiji - it is convenient for resurrection.

Sakura Liulizi wandered into Heiyan Tatsuji's villa, and the security guards and servants around couldn't see her.

Even so, Yingshu Liulizi is still a little shy, after all, she is naked in the ghost state, and she is not used to being a ghost for the first time.

It was already early in the morning, and the interior of the villa was still brightly lit, as if facing an enemy.

However, Yingshu Liulizi turned around and found no valuable clues.

I don't know if it's the wrong time to come. At this moment, many people just fell asleep after a busy night, and no one whispered or had some secret conversations.

Isn't this a sacrifice for nothing?

Yingshu Liulizi broke into a large bedroom at random, but she didn't expect it to be Reiko Heiyan's boudoir.

At this moment, Reiko Kuroiwa was sleeping in Murasawa Yiyi's arms, but Murazawa Zhou Yi was not asleep, with a cigarette in his mouth, he hugged Reiko Kuroiwa with one hand, and stared intently at a metal utensil in the other.

He looked melancholy and sighed occasionally.

Yingshu Liulizi took a closer look, and found that the metal utensil looked like some kind of tool or handle, but she didn't know what it was anyway.

After a while, Murazawa put the thing down on Monday, his eyes wandered to the full moon outside the window, and he began to make gestures with his hands, which was a bit like playing the piano.

Could it be that this man can play the piano?
If this is the case, will he be related to this incident, or is it possible that he is related to Keiji Aso?
In this way, his suspicion of crime suddenly increased.

He is a young and strong man, who has the basic conditions to commit a crime; as a prospective son-in-law, he has been in and out of Kuroiwa Tatsuji's house all year round, and he has the conditions to know what happened 12 years ago; if he is really related to Keiji Aso, he even has a motive .

What's more, Hei Yanchen is mainly dead, and he can also inherit a large amount of inheritance with Heiyan Lingzi.

So Yingshu Liulizi stayed in this room for a while, hoping to find out some news.

However, Murazawa didn't say anything on Monday, but after sighing a few more times, he stubbed out his cigarette and went to sleep.

Before he fell asleep, he held Reiko Kuroiwa tightly in his arms, and it seemed that he still had feelings for her.

It's a pity that the state of Sakura Liulizi's ghost cannot affect the entity, otherwise he would have to take the opportunity to search the room.

Then she floated to the next large bedroom, which happened to be Kuroiwa Tatsuji's room.

I don't know if Heiyan Chenci just fell asleep or couldn't sleep, anyway, he didn't sleep and was lying there with his eyes open.

This is the real master, maybe there will be some clues?So Yingshu Liulizi waited in the house.

The hard work paid off, and after a while, Heiyan Chenci not only did not sleep, but also sat up.

He opened a locker in a room, which contained a safe.

The password of the safe is 1915181825. I don't know what this password means.

After the safe was opened, Heiyan Tatsuji took out a very old iron box from the safe, and then took out a piece of paper from the iron box.

Yingshu Liulizi came over to take a look, and found that it was an old black and white photo that had faded to yellow. Inside the photo was a group photo of five people.

These five people are all young people, hugging each other's shoulders, bending over and smiling brightly at the camera.

Although these five people looked like they were young, Yingshu Liulizi recognized them at a glance.

They are Aso Keiji, Kameyama Isamu, Nishimoto Ken, Kawashima Eiji and Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

(Sakura Ruriko, Nishimoto Ken and Kuroiwa Tatsuji just met each other, Kawashima Eiji's body was seen in the piano room, Kameyama Isamu's photo was seen at the funeral, Aso Keiji's appearance was in the medical file seen above.)
