Truth is everywhere within range

"While I was working so hard to deal with those mold bodies, I didn't expect you to be having afternoon tea here?"

Kuroda Jun stood at the table, slightly angry.

She was originally expressionless, but her frowning look made Qiao Qiao feel a little cute.

"I'm sorry, sister!"

Kuroda Makoto subconsciously wanted to put down the waffle in her hand, but after thinking about it, she didn't do it immediately.

"How about you come and eat too?"

Qiao Qiao pointed to the snacks left on the plate.

"you"

Kuroda Jun was speechless.

But Qiao Qiao had already asked the clerk to order a cup of black tea.

"If those moldy bodies find out that we, the people from the shrine, are having afternoon tea here, it will be troublesome again!"

Kuroda Jun said this, but still sat down.

The black tea and snacks are so delicious.

Qiao Qiao looked at Kuroda Makoto before and felt that the discipline in the shrine should be quite strict, and girls like them might not have the chance to eat these desserts.

Kuroda Jun is probably the same.

"Just take a sip to warm yourself up."

Kuroda Jun didn't know whether he said it to Qiao Qiao or himself.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea.

"!"

The hair on his head stood up.

"Well, it just tastes like normal."

Kuroda Jun put down the tea cup and picked up a small biscuit.

"!!"

The shape of Du Mao turned into an exclamation mark.

"It's not particularly delicious."

While he was talking, his hands continued to take it.

"But, patrolling in the afternoon requires a lot of physical strength, so I have to replenish some."

I'm sitting here drinking black tea and eating biscuits, which makes sense.

It probably means something like this.

"I always feel that Chun is different from what I have seen before."

Kitashirakawa Rika said while enjoying the waffle in Qiao Qiao's mouth.

Ten minutes later, the three of them finished their snacks and walked out of the shopping street.

The area they were responsible for patrolling today was an area near Uji-Yamada Subway Station. It was mostly a residential area, and the pedestrians on the road were all old people, with almost no young people seen.

A city that is growing old can indeed be called Ise.

Kuroda Jun took the lead. They entered the subway station, understood the situation with the staff, checked the yin energy here, and took notes. They felt similar to the community police officers who specialize in strange incidents.

When leaving the subway station, a man suddenly appeared in front of Kuroda Jun.

"Hello, I am Aoki from "Japanese Weird Weekly". You should be Jun Kuroda and Makoto Kuroda from the Kuroda family, right?"

The man was about forty years old, with slightly curly hair and deep wrinkles on his face when he smiled. He was wearing a long dark trench coat and was holding a camera in his hand.

Click click click click——

The Kuroda sisters may not have noticed, but Qiao Qiao could sense that when the reporter approached the two of them, the camera in his hand had already taken several photos.

""Weird Weekly"? We are very busy, please don't disturb us."

Kuroda Jun didn't like reporters at all. He only looked at them politely and prepared to leave.

"In fact, Fujinami Shinji had no reason to kill Kashiwagi Ayako. As a descendant of the Fujinami family, there was no need for him to use this method to seize power. Moreover, I have investigated and found that Fujinami Shinji and Ikeda Kyotaro had a very good relationship in private. This won’t happen between two people.”

The reporter kept talking, which made Kuroda Jun very unhappy.

"These are all rumors, please leave."

she yelled.

The elderly people around looked over, which actually made the reporter even more excited.

"Furthermore, I also know that Ise Shrine has received a threatening letter asking you to stop holding this year's New Year Prayer Festival."

The reporter's words stunned Kuroda Jun.

Her eyes flickered, she glanced at Qiao Qiao, and then left directly with Kuroda Makoto.

Qiao Qiao stopped the reporter.

Not far away, police officers from the subway station came out, seemingly preparing to drive away the reporter.

"If you have anything to tell me, you can contact me here. This is my business card. I live in a hotel next to the subway station. You can find me by stating my name."

The reporter handed a small piece of paper to Qiao Qiao, then left and disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Threatening letter?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the business card. It was indeed Takashi Aoki, a reporter from "Japanese Weird Weekly".

"Miko Kitashirakawa, do you know about this?"

He asked while following Kuroda Jun.

"I don't know much about this matter, but the shrine has been receiving similar letters. Most of them are simple pranks, and a few are from monsters or humans controlled by weirdness. There are also occasional attacks on the shrine. showed up, but there was no big problem.”

Kitashirakawa Rika replied, she was also a little confused.

"Is the relationship between Kyotaro Ikeda and Shinji Fujinami really good?"

Qiao Qiao put his business card in his pocket. There were still more people around the subway station, but it was still far less than on the streets of Shinjuku.

"The two of them are from the same period. Well, Chun is also from the same batch, but I was still young at that time and can't remember clearly. There should be no major conflicts."

Kitashirakawa Rika also doesn't understand people's hearts very well.

She briefly talked about the two of them.

Fujinami Shinji and Ikeda Kyotaro have almost no intersection in the shrine. On the one hand, they are responsible for different areas, and on the other hand, due to the dispute between the Fujinami family and the third force, the younger generations of these three forces have gradually Alienation.

Qiao Qiao listened and patrolled behind the Kuroda sisters.

Despite the killings in the city, for most people, life remains the same.

After the patrol, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Then let's go back now."

Kuroda Jun clapped his hands.

"Ise feels so big."

Kitashirakawa Rika also followed Qiao Qiao around the patrol area today.

"This is just a small area of ​​​​Ise, and Ise itself is a small city."

Qiao Qiao said.

"If you go to Tokyo, you can see bigger and more prosperous cities."

"Tokyo, I really want to go there."

Kitashirakawa Rika said with longing.

Of course, Kitashirakawa Rika knew that such longing was just longing.

As the chief priestess of Ise Shrine, she will be bound to this land for the rest of her life and cannot leave.

Just like Amaterasu Omikami hid in Ama Iwato, Kitashirakawa Rika was also imprisoned in the Arakesuri Palace by the rules.

Qiao Qiao said nothing.

At this time, Kuroda Jun's cell phone rang.

"Hey, yes, I'm...what?"

Kuroda Jun's expression was a little uncertain.

She put down her phone and called Qiao Qiao and Kuroda Makoto who were about to go back.

"If something goes wrong, let's go directly to the Mandu Canteen."

The Manchurian Canteen was a place they passed by during their previous patrol.

"what happened?"

Qiao Qiao smelled something wrong.

"Someone died, a reporter."

Kuroda Jun said.
