Playing house in the anime world

Chiba Nizhiyu was the first to discover Gojo Aiko. He didn't know whether he should be glad that Gojo Aiko was not in danger, or be glad that the murderer did not encounter Gojo Aiko.

Otherwise, the murderer would not just be lying on the ground, but would have been taken away by an ambulance.

Half an hour ago, he followed Kudo Shinichi and the other three up the mountain and first arrived at the shrine. Since there was nothing interesting to see in the shrine, they chose to leave directly from the back door and head to the resort.

As a result, just as he reached the door, he heard a girl's cry for help coming from the woods next to him. As a bodyguard, he couldn't leave Suzuki Sonoko too far, but he couldn't just ignore someone calling for help.

So Suzuki Sonoko suggested that they could go together to see the situation.

As a result, he had just taken a few steps when he was bumped into by a man with a knife. Naturally, Chiba Erzhiyu snatched the knife from him and beat him up, and then he fell to the ground.

They originally thought that this was just an ordinary attack case, but Kudo Shinichi found a large amount of drugs, signal jammers and other things on the murderer.

This was not an ordinary case. It was obvious that the murderer was well prepared. Suzuki Sonoko thought someone was trying to assassinate her, so she quickly contacted the police and her family.

As a result, just as they finished calling the police, Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui arrived.

The two of them recognized at a glance that the person lying on the ground was the criminal suspect they were going to monitor next.

But he clearly bought a ticket for the afternoon train?

In short, after confirming that the suspect was still alive and his injuries were not serious, everyone waited here for the ambulance to arrive and figure out the current situation.

"Aiko!" Chiba Nizhiyu picked up Gojo Aiko and looked at her left and right. After making sure that she was fine, she felt relieved.

"Did Aiko just take this road?!" Suzuki Sonoko was shocked. After all, the murderer was hiding in the woods by the roadside!

But why is Gojo Aiko alone?

"What's wrong with this road?" Aiko Gojo took a look at the guy lying on the ground and guessed that the person who had been hiding nearby and peeping at her and secretly harboring murderous intent should be him.

Although I don't quite understand why he didn't attack me just now, I'm just a powerless kid. Logically speaking, I should be the perfect target, right?

"Nothing, nothing!" Suzuki Sonoko quickly shook her head, fearing that hearing things like murder would be bad for the child's mental health.

"Where are your family members?" Yamato Gansuke discovered that Gojo Aiko was really alone and not with her parents, and instantly felt that they were very suspicious.

"Behind you." Aiko Gojo looked calm.

Yamato Gansuke turned around and found Rengoku Kyojuro and Kocho Kanae walking out of the shrine.

Chiba Erzhiyu had sent messages to both of them long after the incident happened.

"Ahaha! How embarrassing!" Rengoku Kyojuro scratched his head, "I actually got lost in the mountains!"

Kanae Kocho was also a little embarrassed. After receiving the news, they went up the mountain. Of course, they did not go up the steps of the shrine, but took a shortcut and went up the mountain from where there was no road.

As a result, the two of them got lost in the mountains!

Both of them, who had rich experience in wilderness survival, were very surprised by this.

However, because they were in a hurry to get to Aiko Gojo, they did not think about it too much and put this issue behind them for the time being.

"You just left the child alone? The murderer might have targeted her!" Yamato Gansuke was very emotional.

Suzuki Sonoko and her group did not let the murderer succeed because they brought a bodyguard. Moreover, they have strength in numbers, so even without a bodyguard, they could have dealt with the murderer. As long as they can hold on for a few minutes, he and Uehara Yui will happen to pass by here.

But if the murderer targeted Aiko Gojo, then we’re doomed!

After learning what happened here, Rengoku Kyojuro and Kocho Kanae were terrified and apologized repeatedly.

"But... we are not Aiko's father and mother~" Kocho Kanae touched Gojo Aiko's head, "We are brother and sister!"

It was only at this time that Yamato Gansuke realized that Gojo Aiko and the other two did not look alike.

But he didn't think much about it, because he always felt that Gojo Aiko and Rengoku Kyojuro's colored hair was dyed, and maybe their original hair color was the same black hair as Kocho Kanae.

After a moment of chaos, the ambulance arrived and the murderer lying on the ground was sent to a nearby hospital, and everyone was transferred to a hot spring hotel.

Although the suspect in the serial murder case was caught in the act, it does not mean that the case is over, because they cannot prove that there is only one murderer. What if they are a team?

And what if the suspect is not the serial killer, but just happens to be a bad guy? Although this situation is outrageous, it is not impossible.

So, Yamato Gansuke and his friends started to get to know the situation with Kudo Shinichi and his friends.

Since Aiko Gojo almost became a victim, she was also pulled in for questioning.

"Hear any cries for help?" Yamato Gansuke looked confused. They searched the woods on both sides and found no one else except the murderer.

"Yes, and it's obviously a girl!" After Chiba Niyuu defeated the murderer, Mao Lilan and the others went to look for the girl nearby, but they couldn't find the girl who was calling for help.

"Sure enough, he is..." Uehara Yui remembered that one of the common points of the serial murder case was that many victims heard cries for help and went out or entered an empty corner to check the situation and were then killed.

Because one of the cases took place at a holiday villa, the one on the mountain, and the owner and his family of five were killed. Since there was a surveillance camera installed at the door, the police saw what happened.

It was late at night when the incident happened. The proprietress was on duty at the front desk alone while everyone else had gone to bed. The surveillance showed that she heard something and picked up the phone. Because the surveillance was blurry, they tried hard to identify that the proprietress had entered the police number, but she did not press the dial button in the end, but walked out of the door. The person who walked into the door next was the masked and armed murderer.

In addition, there were similarities in several other cases, so they speculated that most of the victims may have heard the cries for help, and then were lured by the murderer into an empty secret place and killed.

They speculated that the cry for help might have been audio recorded by the murderer, but since everyone who heard the sound was already dead, they didn't know whether their speculation was correct.

"No, it's not the sound of a recording. The sound is very clear and doesn't sound like a recording." In response to Yui Uehara's question about whether the sound sounded like a recording, Shinichi Kudo gave a negative answer.

"But... the murderer is a man? No one was found nearby..." Uehara Yui began to think about what was going on.

Since the murderer is still unconscious and has to go to the hospital for a physical examination to make sure he is alive, it is impossible to interrogate him now.

"Could it be that the murderer imitated a girl's voice asking for help?" Aiko Gojo was holding the chocolate given by Yui Uehara and felt very curious about this reasoning scene.

"It is very difficult to imitate the voice of the opposite sex, but it is indeed possible in theory. We can only wait until the murderer wakes up and ask him." Zhu Fu Gaoming did not expect that the suspect would be arrested in this way, but he always felt something was wrong.

This suspect is the only survivor of the last Nagano No. 2 case. Because he was drunk and feeling unwell at the time, he temporarily left the homestay where he was gathering with friends and went to a nearby hospital.

Within just ten minutes of his departure, two friends and five staff members in the B&B were all killed. However, since the victims were killed in their rooms, the suspect did not look for his friends after returning to the B&B after buying stomach medicine at the hospital. Instead, he chose to go directly back to his room to rest.

So he didn't find out until he woke up the next morning that everyone except himself had been killed.

He was therefore listed as a suspect even though he had an alibi.

Because in all the previous cases, the murderer did not let go of anyone at the scene, and the murderer had obviously investigated in advance. In a previous case, there was also someone who happened to be absent and thus escaped the murderer's first wave of massacre, but the murderer did not let him go, but waited for him to come back at the scene.

This shows that the murderer knew how many people were there in the place he was going to attack, and he had no intention of letting anyone go.

Especially since the suspect claimed that he had only been away for about ten minutes. In such a short period of time, the murderer probably just killed other people, and maybe they haven’t even left the B&B yet!

But they also investigated the relationship between the two friends and other staff in the homestay at the time and the suspect, and did not find any grudges or enmity between them.

However, they found out one thing in common with the previous cases, that is, these victims were basically engaged in jobs related to providing accommodation services in hotels, B&Bs, holiday villas, etc.

Including the suspect himself.

Therefore, the motive for the crime is most likely related to this. There may be some conflict that they are not aware of.

Of course, it is also possible that the murderer is simply a madman who chose people who work in a hotel simply because he does this job and is more familiar with the working order and environment of the hotel.

As for why he killed his friend? Considering that this case was different from all the previous cases, maybe something happened in the middle and he suddenly decided to kill his friend.

Or maybe, he didn't actually consider those two people as "friends".

Kudo Shinichi listened to the case for a long time and seemed to be thinking about something.

Although all previous cases were related to the hotel industry, he felt that the murderer might not simply choose people in these industries because he was familiar with them.

Aren’t they the exceptions?

They have nothing to do with the hotel industry. At most, Suzuki Sonoko's family may own a few hotels.

But she herself was not involved in the management and operation of the hotel, so logically, she should not be the target of the murderer, because the murderer was not familiar with Suzuki Sonoko at all, and his experience in hotel management was completely useless.

Although it is also possible that the murderer was desperate and wanted to make one last effort after discovering that he was being closely watched by the police, and then randomly selected these unlucky guys.

But could someone who could pull off so many meticulous cases really be so stupid?

When Aiko Gojo saw that they started to discuss the case and the topic became increasingly in-depth and she began to lose track, she took out her cell phone and boredly looked through the messages in the group.

Then she saw the photo that Zhu Fu Jingguang posted in the group five minutes ago.

The photo shows a tunnel entrance, and it looks like they are preparing to go down.

Did they discover the laboratory? !

Aiko Gojo continued to flip through the pages out of curiosity and discovered that it was not a laboratory, but the effect might be similar.

Because this is a basement and there are a lot of weapons in it.

Could this also be the organization's arsenal? !

Aiko Gojo was shocked!

Chiba Niyuu saw that Gojo Aiko was scrolling through her phone suddenly faster, and guessed what must have happened, so he secretly took out his phone.

Zhu Fu Jingguang continued to send photos to the group. They found a tunnel at the end of the basement and planned to follow the tunnel to see where it led to.

I always feel it's a bit dangerous... Aiko Gojo doesn't really understand what's going on with this mountain, and how come there is a tunnel?

Zhufushi Takaaki was discussing the case with Kudo Shinichi, but suddenly out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Gojo Aiko holding a cell phone with a shocked look on her face.

"The case we are discussing cannot be told to others casually." Zhufu Gaoming reminded them, although he thought Gojo Aiko would not tell others casually.

"Okay~" Gojo Aiko responded casually, and then continued to watch with relish the live broadcast of Zhufu Jingguang's tunnel exploration in the group.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Chiba Niyuu who was also happily holding his cell phone, and immediately became curious.

Although peeking was very impolite and immoral, he still walked over resolutely.

Then he happened to see a new photo posted by Zhu Fu Jingguang - an old man was pointing a gun at the camera with a ferocious look!

"Danger!" Kudo Shinichi was so scared that he shouted out.

Gojo Aiko was also startled, but she was startled by Kudo Shinichi.

"Where is Mr. Hikaru now?!" Kudo Shinichi thought that Morobushi Keimitsu was in danger, and rushed to rescue this top-notch chef.

Zhufu Jingguang gave himself the pseudonym "Gojo Hikari".

Then, Morofushi Kagemitsu immediately posted the next photo, which was a photo of an old grandfather being pinned to the ground by Oda Sakunosuke, with the beard on his face crooked.

This old man is not an old man, his face is fake!

Kudo Shinichi found that his worries seemed to be in vain, and, it turned out that Mr. Oda Sakunosuke was so skilled?
