Investigators choose to throw the script in a shredder

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The man in the sand-colored windbreaker has a handsome face, standing on the street is a sharp weapon to attract the opposite sex and some of the same sex.

But his face was flushed from coughing, and he leaned forward and backward, just wanting someone to call the emergency department, for fear that it was some kind of terrible disease transmitted through coughing.

Ruke patted Osamu Dazai who was coughing endlessly on the back, showing a bit of helplessness: "It's almost done, I've been out for almost half an hour, don't you stop? Someone is watching you and calling an ambulance. "

"Ahem, this is a physiological reaction! Ahem..." Osamu Dazai started coughing.

[Ru Ke: What a delicious dish. ]

[kp:? ? ?Do you deserve to talk about other people's dishes? ? ? ]

[Ru Ke: kp, you are super swimming! ]

[kp: Hehe. ]

Liu Ke patted it twice perfunctorily, and then began to look for his destination - the fishing tackle shop he visited yesterday.

The fishing tackle shop doesn't have long legs, so it's still where it should be, Rick stood at the door of the fishing tackle shop together with Osamu Dazai who was coughing endlessly.

[kp: Sulker reconnaissance 701D100=87 failed]

Looking at this store with new eyes, Rick still didn't see anything special.

Ordinary signboards, ordinary doors, and ordinary templates.

[kp: Osamu Dazai reconnaissance 801D100=52 normal success]

Osamu Dazai covered his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Ruke-kun, do you want to go in? I don't suggest you go in."

Rick: "What did you find?"

"Many, for example," Osamu Dazai said in a soft voice, "that old man should be dead by now."

[kp: Sulfur inspiration 801D100=40 difficult success]

The unique breeze mixed with water vapor blowing by the river bank, mixed with a certain disgusting smell, just by smelling is enough for investigators to have the illusion that they are almost fainting.

"I'll go and have a look." Ruk didn't listen to Osamu Dazai's advice, and stepped forward to push open the door of the fishing tackle shop.

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

The uncontrollable coughing sound disappeared completely, and the man in the sand-colored windbreaker with curly hair stood still and watched Rick enter the fishing tackle shop.

The wind on the river bank rattled his clothes, and he didn't take a step in that direction.

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

Liu Ke walked into the fishing tackle shop he had been to once, and was immediately overwhelmed by the stench as soon as he entered.

[Ru Ke: Do a reconnaissance. ]

[kp: Sulker reconnaissance 701D100=29 difficult success]

The store furnishings were not much different from what he had seen before, except for a dark red bloodstain on the ground, leading from the counter to the corner behind the store.

Rick followed the blood trail.

Just as he had speculated in the hotel before, this store does not have a second floor, nor does it have a vast backyard, it just has a small compartment.

There is a ginger-colored kennel in the cubicle, and a notched dog bowl is placed in front of the kennel, which must be the place where the old man kept his dog.

Next to it is a low table and two cushions, one old and the other new.

The end of the bloodstain is not here, but behind a curtain of blue and white checkered.

The stench of the compartment has already forced Rick to cover his nose, and even breathing through his mouth can faintly feel the powerful smell.

Rick stretched out his hand and pushed aside the slightly worn-out curtain—there was a half-open closet and a puddle of blood in the narrow space.

[kp: You have witnessed an incredible bloody scene, perform SC, subtract 1 for success, and subtract 1D4+1 for failure]

[kp: Sulfur inspiration 801D100=74 success, sanity minus 1]

[kp: Sulfur Remaining Sanity 59]

The blood in front of him couldn't distinguish the facial features and limbs at all, just like the photos of the victims' bodies he had seen, let alone the appearance, it was impossible to confirm whether they were human or not.

The blood on the ground dried up and solidified into a nearly black splatter shape.

At first I thought it was just a bad photographer, but I didn't expect that to be the case.

Liu Ke felt that he couldn't judge all the corpses in this shabby state with one example, and had to have more samples...

After finding a clean place to stay, Rick called Police Officer Nagase.

"Officer Nagase, I'm Rick, I have something to ask of you..."

"About what you mentioned before, the victim you visited the grave for four years, does he have any other relatives or friends?"

"I need to verify his body, can I dig the grave?"

[kp: Sulker's speech skill 651D100=10 is extremely difficult to succeed]

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

"Yes, it will be buried properly. The original grave is in the hills of Yokohama where you can see the sea. The place of death is near the sea. There is a wooden house between the hills and the sea. His name is -"

"Oda Sakunosuke."

At the watcher's blind spot, Rick reached a consensus with the police officer.

Liu Ke hung up the phone, thinking that there is no more careful and appropriate investigator than him in the world.

Before excavating the grave, he even deliberately confirmed that the owner of the corpse had no relatives or friends, so as not to hurt the feelings of the survivors who were still alive.

[Ru Ke: I will never step on a mine this time! ! ! ]

[kp: Sulker reconnaissance 701D100=11 extremely difficult to succeed]

At the junction of the gore and the closet, there is a corner of white paper.

Rick carefully avoided the filth, reaching for the piece of paper——

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

[kp: Sulker lucky 801D100=74 success]

A group of tangible shadows rushed towards Rick's arm from the inside of the closet, but was stuck by the narrow old closet, making it difficult to move for a while.

[kp: You witnessed an indescribable monster, perform sc, minus 0 for success, minus 1D6 for failure. ]

[kp: Sulker Inspiration 801D100=31 Difficult success, sanity minus 0. ]

[kp: Sulfur Remaining Sanity 59]

Under the light, Rick could see clearly the true face of the assailant, who could even be said to be the direct cause of the indiscriminate killing in Yokohama.

It was a mass of light gray, wriggling and trembling at a certain frequency like a living thing, it was stuck at the front of the closet and stretched out two sharp front claws, the tip pointed consciously at Rick's outstretched hand.

Liu Ke has no doubt that once this thing gets out of trouble, he will immediately become Yang Guo.

Calm took control of Ruoke's body for a moment, he picked up the white piece of paper, and quickly left the bedroom-like space before the unknown monster broke free.

"Kaka——" There was a loud crashing sound from the wooden closet behind him.

"Thrilling—" The ear-piercing noise, like a steel wire passing through glass, chased after him, getting closer and closer.

[Sulfur: Giao!That thing can run out! ]

[kp: Come on~]

In an instant, the monster arrived behind Rick, and the stench and murderous aura rushed over.

[kp: Sulker lucky 801D100=41 success]

[kp:? ?Claw strike 601D100=71 failed]

[kp: Sulker dodges 251D100=19 success]

Occasionally people not only step on shit, they step on shit.

The slain old man's eyes were blinded for a few seconds by Zaitan Zhiling, and Blessing Ruke narrowly escaped from the claws of the monster.

[Ru Ke: Are you so unhappy that I am alive? ]

[kp: No way, generally unhappy. ]

[Sulker: ...]

Clearly realizing that there is only a life-and-death enmity between KP and the investigator, Rick quickened his pace a bit.

After all, the fishing tackle shop is a small shop, and Ruke rushed out of the shop, only to find Osamu Dazai standing there motionless.

[Ru Ke: Are you blind! ! ! ]

"What are you in a daze for, Dazai! Run!"

Not caring about anything else, Ruk grabbed Osamu Dazai's arm and ran away from here.

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

Osamu Dazai died a lot, and Ruk couldn't move after less than two meters, so he had to stop: "Brother! Are you stupid! Why don't you be more active in running for your life? Suicide doesn't have to involve killing your entire body." Don't stay!"

"Well, I'm not sure what you mean, Rick. What exactly are you trying to avoid? Is there a dog in there?" Osamu Dazai nodded his chin in the direction of the fishing tackle shop.

Rick turned around to look.

The door of the fishing tackle shop that he hastily knocked open swayed, but no gray lump sprang out of it.

No dogs either.

The pungent stench in the air was endless, proving that it was not a fantasy of Rick.

"Dazai, didn't you see a bunch of gray kitchen scraps chasing after me?" Ruk asked unwillingly.

Osamu Dazai: "No, I just saw you, Ruk, rushing out like your ass was on fire, and it hurt so much to catch him."

Ruk let go of Osamu Dazai's hand, and opened his other hand - the hard white paper was crumpled in his palm.

"Dazai-kun, you must not have imagined what I found inside."

"Corpse."

"...Is it okay to cooperate with me a little bit?" Ruke choked on Dazai who didn't show face, "There's also this."

Rick unfolded the crumpled white cardboard and turned it over to see a black and white photo——

"Dazai-kun, isn't this who, who, who?" Ruke said "who" for a while, but he still didn't say the name on his lips.

"Fujiki Yoshikawa," Dazai Osamu attached the name of the person in the photo, "it is the son of the grandfather. From the degree of wear and tear of this photo, it is at least a few years ago. It must be often held by the grandfather. , the faces of the people in the photo are a little blurred."

Liu Ke was numb: "Doesn't this mean that this person died long ago? Why is he included in the police's victim record? Or it happened in the past two months... Can a person die twice?"

"Maybe, the thought of returning to this oxidized world inexplicably after death makes me shudder," Dazai Osamu hugged himself, "It's so pitiful, this Fujiki-kun, if the second death has not reached the end, will you die?" It's even more pathetic."

Liu Ke realized later: "Dazai-kun, are you trying to remind me of something?"

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

"It's not so important that it can be called a 'reminder', it's just a suggestion." Osamu Dazai closed his eyes facing the scorching sun, "Ruke, Tsurumigawa is very suitable for suicide. Today is also a good day, if not Try to get into the water before tomorrow comes."

"What, I wonder why you are so kind to me for the first time, what to ask and what to answer, and you are here to preach for a long time?" Ruk felt that his expectations had failed, and he rolled his eyes behind Osamu Dazai, "Suicide or something is just Forget it, I can't commit suicide in my life."

"Ruke is really extreme. Did you already know the end of your life before the dust settles?"

"No, I don't know, I don't know at all," Ruk turned on the phone and patted Osamu Dazai on the shoulder casually, "I don't even know the end of the universe, how could I know that."

[kp: Dark cast? ? ]

"Puhaha," Dazai Osamu suddenly laughed out loud, "Ruke, you also have times when you're witty, hahaha!"

"...Are you praising me?"

"Yes, yes, don't accept my compliment carelessly, you are very talented in being funny." Osamu Dazai jumped on Ruke from behind and hung on him, "Hey, I suddenly found out that Ruk is much shorter than my partner Kunikida!"

Is it an illusion, Osamu Dazai seems to have become arrogant?

"Dazai-kun, I'm going to dig the grave next, if you want to preach..."

"Digging the grave!" Osamu Dazai's eyes brightened by [-]%, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"

Like a brat who sees ice cream, messing around.

Ruk had no choice but to take him with him.

"Then, who is that unlucky man who is about to be visited by us?"

"A victim whose name has a subtle literary flavor." Thinking of Officer Nagase's words, Rick said the name boldly, "Oda Sakunosuke, how about it, you can tell it's the name of a writer with literary talents just by hearing it." ?”
