Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Toru Amuro drove the car, with Monáe Mingetsu sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them were speeding on the road to Gunma Prefecture. Toru Amuro had no choice but to slow down the car because of Akatsuki's motion sickness.

When Ming Yue missed vodka so much, they arrived at the Tougami Forest in Gunma Prefecture.

Toru Amuro drove slowly along the forest path, looking at the not-too-dense woods around him and said, "If I remember correctly, there should be a hotel called 'Aoi House' in front of here. Where should we go to ask?"

Mingyue looked at the slowly receding scenery outside the car window and said lazily: "Well, a few days ago someone saw a man with long hair in red looking for the owner of this hotel."

"Is there something wrong with that person?" Toru Amuro tried his best to make the vehicle move forward more smoothly, but the overall road condition was not very good, with serious bumps. He glanced at Ming Yue on the passenger seat.

Ming Yuesheng leaned on the back of the chair helplessly, holding on to the seat belt with both hands, barely keeping herself from tipping over.

"A hotel is opened next to a suicide shrine, and the business of the hotel in autumn is not very good. If such a unique person suddenly appears, it is difficult not to attract people's attention." Mingyue said.

Amuro Toru thought about it for a while, but then raised another possibility: "Maybe you are here for tourism?"

"But the next day a man wearing a hat and a big beard appeared again. He also came to see the hotel owner." Mingyue was stunned.

Toru Amuro looked at the uncomfortable Mingyue and said, "How about we get out of the car and take a walk?"

Mingyue's purple eyes met Toru Amuro's worried eyes, and she thought for a while and said, "I think according to the current situation, I may not be able to walk such a long way, so it would be better to drive there slowly."

"I can hold you or carry you on my back." Toru Amuro stopped the car.

Monáe Mingyue moved her gaze out of the car window, looked at the slowly falling leaves and said, "Mr. Amuro, we don't know each other very well, and I'm not used to being held or carried by strangers. Besides, I parked the car in this forest and... Not a very good plan.”

"Okay, but what happened when those two people came to find the innkeeper?" Toru Amuro started the car and continued on the bumpy forest road.

Mingyue told the information she knew: "The long-haired man in red paid 100,000 yen to entrust the hotel owner to take care of two things. One was a briefcase that he would come back to get even if he died the next year, and the other was a letter written in blood. A curse letter written.”

Toru Amuro frowned and said, "How do you know about such an entrustment?"

“Because the next day the bearded man came to the innkeeper to ask for something, and the innkeeper gave the man a letter as the man in red with long hair asked.

"After the bearded man read the letter, he tore it into pieces angrily. After that, the hotel owner put the letter together and saw the content above. He felt very uneasy. He went to a bar to drink two days ago and told the bartender when he was drunk.

"The time is right, so I came over to investigate and see if I found anything."

At this time, the two people in the car saw a warning sign in front of them and a fallen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The car drove slowly to the side of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the two got out of the car to check the situation.

Judging from the situation where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fell to the ground, it seemed that it was just these days, because some of the still green moss was suppressed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The warning sign is also new and says "Do not lift it up!"

Mingyue leaned on the car and tilted her head to look at Toru Amuro, who was looking around. However, except for the area near Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, many places were covered by fallen leaves.

"Mr. Amuro, do you know anything about this?" Mingyue pointed to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who fell to the ground.

Toru Amuro thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't really believe this, so I don't know much about it. I just heard that there are legends about bewitching people in the forest of gods. After all, the versions of this kind of ghost incident are different in many places."

Mingyue kicked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who fell to the ground, "So this means someone is pretending to be a ghost?"

"Hey! Don't kick it. Even if you don't believe it, at least it is a Buddha statue. Judging from the degree of corrosion, it should be considered to be quite old." After Toru Amuro bowed, he continued to inspect it.

"The fallen Bodhisattva, Mr. Amuro, does this look like he is performing a great ceremony of bowing to the ground?" Mingyue said, standing in front of the fallen Ksitigarbha, "But coupled with the words on the warning sign, it is really hard to figure out."

Toru Amuro looked at the warning sign and said, "But things like this are actually very common. Some people also like to carve some confusing words on the stone walls, and some witches like to do strange things."

The two of them cast their eyes on the warning sign.

Tohru Amuro said: "But this warning sign is really new."

"Maybe this is a sign indicating who hid the treasure." Mingyue felt that she couldn't see anything anymore, turned around, opened the passenger door, got in the car, and continued to nestle herself in the seat.

Toru Amuro also stood up, patted the dust on his trousers, got in the car, and fastened his seat belt, "By the way, what's the content of the curse letter written in blood?"

"The letter said 'I will curse you to death', and the innkeeper said he was scared to death when he saw it. The suicide shrine, the fallen Jizo, the curse letter written in blood..."

"It's a bit scary. How do you want to approach the hotel owner? I have the identity of a private detective. Do you want me to help you?"

"No, we can just stay in the hotel." Mingyue looked at the looming hotel in front of her.

Toru Amuro tilted his head, but didn't say anything. The vehicle drove slowly along the forest path.

The two came to the Aoi House Hotel, and under the leadership of the hotel owner, they visited the hotel and tasted the hotel's special wild vegetable snacks. There were not many guests in the whole hotel, and most of them were talking about several more people who had committed suicide in the nearby forest.

It seems that many people died nearby. Could this hotel be a gathering place for those who committed suicide?

Mingyue and Toru Amuro looked at each other and came to similar conclusions in their hearts.

"'Kwai' is a plant that grows toward the sun. In fact, the hotel owner has saved many people who wanted to commit suicide. Even though there are few guests, he still works hard to maintain the operation of the hotel."

"It's a pity that so many people still choose to give up their lives." Mingyue stood on the second floor of the hotel and looked at the forest in the distance.

The wind blows, and the withered yellow leaves leave the branches, floating, rotating and flying in the air, like a free butterfly.

"If you really want to blame, blame the entire environment. Whether it is fraud, extortion, kidnapping, theft, or suicide, although many of them are caused by personal, life, family, etc. problems, more are caused by the entire society. question."

"Mr. Amuro, your remarks sound very much like those made by a professional member of the law department."

Amuro was shocked and said quickly: "It's just some insights from when I was a detective, but have you lost some beads in your hair? It seems that there are not as many as before."

"Well, maybe I accidentally dropped it just now." Mingyue replied quickly, but she was thinking: Toru Amuro is too Octavia, so I need to pay attention.

"We asked the hotel owner to take us around for so long, but he didn't seem to get any key information, but the owner is really nice." Toru Amuro looked at the hotel owner downstairs who was dealing with other tourists.

Mingyue watched someone bring a wooden basin to the bathhouse behind the hotel, her eyes brightened and she suggested: "Mr. Amuro, let's go take a bath. This is my first time in such a big bathhouse, so I have to give it a try." "

Toru Amuro tilted her head and said, "Did you bring a bathrobe?"

"Uh..." Mingyue had beady eyes.

Toru Amuro laughed when he saw the bright moon like this: "I'll go to the boss and borrow two sets of bathrobes."

The two went to the bathhouse in bathrobes.

Small black beads are rolling, jumping, and searching in the cracks of the floor, in the corners of the walls, and in the dusty beams.

A black bead hit a locked black briefcase while rolling. After a while, several small beads rolled over, got in through the keyhole, and came out after a while.

The small beads rolled quickly toward the bathing place, and slowly climbed onto Mingyue's hair where no one else could see it.

As Mingyue picked up the black beads that rolled to her feet, she thought to herself: I have taken them all back, and I have spent a lot of time in them. It is time to go out.

As soon as he got out of the bathhouse, he saw Toru Amuro already chatting with several employees at the entrance of the bathhouse. But when Mingyue walked out of the bathhouse, Toru Amuro's eyes fell on Mingyue.

The employees also followed Toru Amuro's gaze and looked at Mingyue.

"What a cute girl. She must be of mixed race like Mr. Amuro," an employee said.

Another employee squatted down, looked at Mingyue, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Amuro to have such a big daughter."

"Eh?" Amuro Toru and Monáe Mingyue both had beady eyes.

"No, no, no, we are brother and sister. Because of our mixed race, we may not look alike." Toru Amuro explained hurriedly.

Mingyue also said: "Yes, we are brother and sister. We are already twelve years old this year."

"Oh, you are brother and sister, but your sister looks much younger than her actual age. She is such a cute loli. I have very nice kimonos there. Do you want to go over and try them on?" He squatted in front of Mingyue. The clerk said with a smile.

However, Mingyue's scalp feels numb. Is it necessary to be so hospitable? He reached out and tugged on Toru Amuro's sleeves.

Another clerk said: "But your mother is really amazing. There is a 12-year age difference between brother and sister."

"Hehehe..." Mingyue looked at Amuro Toru's mouth twitching.

But Toru Amuro saw panic and embarrassment on Mingyue's face.

"Lovely lady, what is your name?"

Mingyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Amuro... Zero..."

Amuro Toru's whole body tensed up obviously, then she bent down, picked up Ming Yue and said, "My sister is timid, I will take her back to the room first."

"Mr. Amuro, it took a lot of effort to talk for a while."

"Children who are timid need to have more contact with people. The more contact they have, the better."

The two employees were so enthusiastic that Toru Amuro felt a little embarrassed now.

Mingyue rolled her eyes, lay on Toru Amuro's shoulder, and said weakly: "Brother, I'm a little dizzy."

"Oh, it must have been soaked for too long."

"You guys should go back to your room quickly. I'll bring you some food later. You may have low blood sugar."

The two hospitable clerks left.

Toru Amuro and Monáe Mingyue both breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness.

The two turned around and walked towards the room.

Amuro glanced at Mingyue who was playing with her mobile phone. It seemed that she was not feeling any discomfort, "You really took a long bath."

Mingyue thought for a moment, "It's not a particularly long time, is it? Are you trying to trick me?"

Toru Amuro didn't think Ming Yue could get any information. After all, he was not very old, and he also didn't understand why the organization would make such an arrangement. If this is the way the organization operates, how many kids like Monáe Mingyue are there in the organization?

Mingyue looked at Toru Amuro, who looked gloomy, what was this guy thinking? Having someone around to do the task is trouble.
