Spell Upgrade System

Probably because Shikatori Hiiragi said that she didn't know the way to the police station, Matsuda Jinpei called someone to pick her up.

When arriving at the police station in the dispatched police car, Shikatori Hiiragi somehow felt that she had done something bad and was caught. This was her first time at the police station.

After entering, someone took her to a room to wait for someone. At this time, Matsuda Jinpei had not yet arrived, and Shikatori sat for a while bored. A few minutes later, someone brought a cup of tea in. For some reason, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. .

Fortunately, it's not pork chop rice...

Shikatori Hiiragi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and was surprised to find that it was actually a cup of herbal tea.

In the hot summer, even staying in an air-conditioned room still makes people feel a little irritable. The cool tea slips through the dry throat, and Shikatori Hiiragi feels that his mood is not only a little better than before.

Matsuda Jinpei didn't keep her waiting for too long, and after a few minutes, someone opened the door and walked in.

The man in a black suit sat down opposite her, and when he saw her, he raised his lips slightly, and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Perhaps because he knew that he looked a little stiff sitting here, Shikatori Hiiragi could only answer: "Okay."

She wasn't afraid of anything, but a place like the police station was really tense.

More than ten seconds passed, and when Shikatori calmed down a little, Matsuda Jinpei felt that it was almost the same, "Recall what happened to you at that time, and then tell me everything."

After hearing this, Shikatori Hiiragi told Matsuda Jinpei exactly how she got into the car and what happened after she got off the car.

"...that's all of the above."

Matsuda Jinpei was thoughtful, and asked her again: "That guy...I mean the kidnapper, did he tell you anything before?"

"Yes," Shikatori Hiiragi nodded, and recalled, "I was in the car, and he asked me what I was doing at this time, and if I ran away from home. I said no."

"Is there any more?" Matsuda Jinping quickly wrote it down on the paper, and then continued to ask her.

"He asked me how old I was again, and I said I was probably going to high school soon."

Hearing Shikatori Hiiragi's words, Matsuda Jinpei paused the pen in his hand, and continued to record in the next second.

About to be in high school... what do you mean?

One has to be admitted to high school. Even if the school goes directly to the middle school, the word "probably" will not appear, because no one will know whether they are about to enter high school.

Although it also meant that she didn't want to say it, but Matsuda Jinpei felt that the possibility was less.

Shikatori Hiiragi thought for a while, and then said: "Also...he said that he could make a lot of money by selling me to the port of Mafia."

She didn't know if she could be rich, but she only knew that Shinkansen tickets were quite expensive, and it was obviously too much to send her to Yokohama and let her ride back at her own expense.

"So that's the case. Maybe those three women were also sold to the port of Mafia earlier. This is very important information."

Only then did Katori Hiiragi know that the women who were abducted before have not yet been found, and only hope that the port Mafia will not do too much to them.

This should be... the question is over, right?

Shikatori just relaxed for a moment, and the next second Matsuda Jinpei asked: "However, if you have a mobile phone, why didn't you call the police? According to what you said, you had time to make a call at that time."

Shikatori Hiiragi:! ! !

What did she say?Should she say that she actually wanted to do two tricks with the kidnapper! ?

...obviously not.

Shikatori Hiiragi thought for a moment, and seemed to be a little surprised to reply: "Ah... I forgot!"

If ordinary people saw her surprised expression, they would probably not doubt the authenticity of her words.

But of course a policeman of Matsuda Jinpei's level would not be fooled, I just think she is very good at acting.

He could see clearly at that time that there was no trace of fear on Shikatori Hiiragi's face at that time, and it wasn't like being frightened and dumbfounded, it was just plain as usual, and it could even be said that there was no expression.

And looking at the movements of her hands, it seemed that she was about to fight back.

Furthermore, how could someone's first reaction after he was almost kidnapped be to refuse the police to make a statement. Although he knew that something was really wrong with her at the time, what things can be ranked outside of his own safety?

The black-haired man exhaled, and looked at Shikatori Hiiragi with eyes of the same color: "Don't lie in front of the police, it will be exposed."

Shikatori Hiiragi was startled, thinking that she hadn't been able to fool her, but she really couldn't think of what to say.

At that time, she simply wanted to test her own strength. After dealing with spell power these days, she had never once fought a human being. How could she know what level her current strength was at?

She can be said to have no fear at all, because compared to humans, those curse spirits are obviously much stronger.

The abductor didn't give her the aura of a strong person she was familiar with, such as Nakahara Chuya and Gojo Satoru, and she had become a lot stronger during this time, so she judged that she could win.

In fact, she also had the idea of ​​knocking someone unconscious and sending her to the police station. Since that person dared to abduct her, it meant that he must have never done anything like this, but time did not allow it.

Besides, even if she really can't beat her, she still has a back hand. She has a lot of cards that can make her escape successfully.

Shikatori Hiiragi didn't say a word, as if acquiescing.

Matsuda Jinping looked at her: "You don't plan to say it, and we can't force you. We can only say that if you encounter this situation next time, you must call the police as soon as possible, understand?"

Shikatori paused: "Okay, I see..."

...Is it finally time to go now?

At some point, Matsuda Jinpei heard a voice from the communicator on his ear: "Officer Matsuda, we have already checked, and there is no such person as Shikatori Hiiragi."

Matsuda Jin's face remained unchanged, his eyes paused for two seconds on Shikatori Hiiragi's face, and then he asked her, "What's your name?"

"Shikatori Hiiragi, I have registered before." Shikatori Hiiragi said.

Matsuda Jinhei put down the water-based pen: "May I ask, are you from Kawasaki?"

Shikatori Hiiragi was still wondering why the other party asked such a question at first, and what did it have to do with the case in the early hours of this morning, but he quickly realized——

She seems to be a black household.

Thinking of this, Shikatori Hiiragi suddenly became a little flustered, could it be that he asked this question because he knew about it?

But she was just making a record as a victim, why did they check this kind of thing?

At this time, Shikatori Hiiragi could only answer truthfully: "No... I moved here from Yokohama."

After learning that Shikatori Hiiragi is from Yokohama, all this seems to be explained. The chaos in Yokohama is recognized by the whole of Kanagawa and even Japan. There are too many people without identities there.

Probably because he had guessed the background of some girls, Matsuda Jinpei unconsciously softened his voice: "When?"

"A week ago." Shikatori Hiiragi took a sip of herbal tea.

"Why are you here?"

People who can come out of Yokohama are more or less rich or powerful, at least it can show that her life is not so miserable.

"There are important things, but you can't talk about them."

At the same time, another voice came out of Matsuda Jinpei's communicator: "I found it, Hiiragi Shikatori, died in the war in Yokohama seven years ago, father Kazuhiko Kazuhiko Kazuhiko, mother Junko Shikatori, real name Fujisaki."

Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath and closed the case. Since she is still sitting here, the development of the matter is probably that Shikatori Hiiragi, who was abandoned by her parents, met a kind person and was rescued. She did not leave Yokohama alone until a week ago.

Seven years ago, Yokohama was at the end of the war. At that time, it was indeed more chaotic than it is now. Even ordinary people could not eat a bite of food. It was common for people to starve to death.

So it is not a very puzzling thing to abandon the only son in the family.

"If I said, we can help you get back your identity information and even find your parents, would you choose to trust the police?"

Matsuda Jinpei said so.

Shikatori Hiiragi paused slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't.

Sure enough, they secretly investigated her.

However, she really couldn't understand why the police cared so much about her identity. It is reasonable to say that things like this should not be included in the case record or recorded.

Of course she wanted to have her own identity, and she also wanted to find her parents, run to them and ask them why they abandoned her.

But what if this kind of thing comes to fruition?

After a few seconds, Shikatori Hiiragi listened to the ticking of the clock in the room, and finally got the answer.

"No need," she said.

She seemed to have hesitated for a long time, and she seemed so determined that she didn't seem to hesitate at all.

Matsuda Jinpei didn't show a very surprised look, but just looked at her straight, silent, as if waiting for her next sentence.

"It's not that I don't believe in the police. I just want to have nothing to do with this identity that has died in the past. I don't want to see my parents who abandoned me. I won't forgive them. But I also met more important people. The truth is that it doesn't matter more..."

Shikatori Hiiragi said a long series of words in one breath, after thinking about it, he decided to end this topic: "I think I'm doing pretty well now."

"I see, you see it very openly." Matsuda Jinping said with a smile, as if expressing respect for her attitude.

*

Before leaving the police station, Matsuda Jinpei asked Shikatori Hiiragi if he wanted to give her an additional new identity, but Shikatori Hiiragi refused.

Shikatori felt that if she applied for a new identity here, she would most likely become a resident of Kawasaki City, but she is from Yokohama, and this has not changed from beginning to end.

If we really wanted to give her an identity, then she also wanted to be a resident of Yokohama.

Whether it is war or chaos, Yokohama is still the land where she grew up, there is no doubt about it.

Watching the girl outside the window get into the car to take her back, Matsuda Jinpei sighed as he looked at the information his subordinates had just found out.

Shikatori Hiiragi's parents, Shikatori Kazuhiko and Shikatori Junko, one of them is a person with supernatural powers. He was forced to serve in the Japanese war seven years ago. His only son was supposed to be sent overseas to be trained as a labor force, but he was involved in the war before. died in the accident, and his parents died unexpectedly a few years later.

...how should I say this?

Shikatori Hiiragi's parents deliberately abandoned her in order not to send their child to foreign labor, and reported false information that she was dead.

Probably hope that some orphanage or kind-hearted people can pick her up.

Matsuda Jinpei hesitated.

Should he tell her the truth?
