I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3493 Shrine

"It's indeed quite suspicious." Linton nodded and said.

Even though it hadn't attracted much attention from Linton before, the bankruptcy in the past two years caught his attention.

Because if this series of events are related to the investigator's predecessor, then it seems that he disappeared more than two years ago.

Then after he disappeared, the shrine that was related to the case immediately went bankrupt. It can only be said that it was too coincidental.

It just so happened that many of the serial murders were related to this shrine, and the shrine just happened to close down at this time. Linton didn't believe in so many coincidences. This shrine was really quite suspicious.

Of course, if we have to say that the owner of this shrine is, for example, the serial killer, and that he disappeared because he killed someone and ran away or died in an accident, then that can be explained.

But Linton is not a policeman, so why not just go over and take a look? He doesn't need any evidence when he is looking for someone.

"Let's go and take a look at the situation." Linton said directly.

Linton decided to go and see the situation in person this time, so he and Aizen came to the gate of the abandoned shrine. As for Asuna, Fubuki Tornado and others, Asuna still needed to learn cooking from Fubuki to prepare for tomorrow's test, so there was definitely no need for so many people to come.

This shrine is a small shrine that is common in Japan. It is really quite small. There are many small roadside shrines like this in this area. After all, it is said to have eight million gods, right?

The shrine is built on a small hill. To call it a small hill is an exaggeration because you can reach the shrine by walking up about a hundred steps from the roadside.

There are no other buildings around the shrine, and there is a forest behind it. There are quite a few buildings around the road leading down the stairs, which should all be residential houses.

I have to say that the environment around this shrine is quite good. After walking up the stairs, you can feel the complete silence. To be honest, there are not many places with such an environment in Tokyo.

The shrine is a wooden Japanese courtyard. The front yard should be a place for people to worship. There is an obvious square money box with a rope on it. According to the Japanese worship tradition, a bell should be hung on the rope. The process of defeating is to throw coins into the money box first, then ring the bell and worship the gods.

But now the bell is gone, and the cash box is covered with a wooden board, which obviously means that money cannot be put into it.

I mentioned before that this shrine is closed, and it is obvious that everything around it is telling the same truth. This place has obviously been deserted for a long time. Not only is there a layer of dust on the building, but even the ground is covered with a layer of dust and a layer of black impurities that should be left by rotting leaves.

Behind the cash box is probably the main hall. I don't know what god is enshrined there. Linton certainly doesn't recognize it. There are two other houses next to it. Linton guessed that they were where the people in the shrine lived in the past.

Linton closed his eyes and scanned the area with a circle. The entire shrine was just as he had sensed with his aura before coming here, there was no life in it.

"Did you find anything?" Linton asked Aizen beside him.

"The composition of spirits in different worlds is actually not the same. I also know whether the spirits in this world are the same as ours." Aizen said.

When Linton asked him this, he must have been asking if he had scanned any spirits, since Aizen's main job was a god of death.

Although the breath sensing and circle can't detect anything, they are still entities, what if it is a spirit? As far as Linton knows, the slit-mouthed girl in the legend seems to be a spirit. It is a girl who was disfigured by a slit and then committed suicide, and turned into a ghost-like existence. However, the reason for the disfigurement seems to be the same as the reason for the clown's disfigurement, and there are thousands of explanations.

But unfortunately, it seems that Aizen has not found anything like a spirit.

This is not very strange, after all, the spirits of the God of Death are very special. According to the original statement of the God of Death, the basic composition of their spirits is spirit particles, which belongs to a spiritual worldview with its own system.

Linton does know soul spells from other worlds, such as the world of the Shaman King. Unfortunately, his ability to detect souls in this area is really poor. Even if he has purchased A-level spiritual power, he is not very good at detecting souls.

Linton pushed open the door and walked into the main hall. As soon as he opened the door, there was a pile of dust, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

Normal police would not look for anything else after seeing this situation, after all, it was obvious that no one had been there. However, Linton might not be looking for a human, so he did not mind this situation.

"Is there anyone there? Or a ghost?" Linton asked directly into the room.

At the same time, he also observed the situation inside the hall.

In the middle of the temple, there was indeed something like an altar, probably the god enshrined here. But Linton didn't know what it was, just a small statue that looked like it had a lot of hands.

The statue was really small, about the size of a basketball, and it looked a little funny to be placed on this seemingly large altar. There was a wooden plaque next to it that looked like a tablet, with some words on it, but I didn't know if it was the name of the god or something like that. Anyway, Linton really didn't understand much about religion.

There was silence in the hall, and no one answered Linton's question.

Linton was not in a hurry, and said directly to Aizen next to him: "It seems that there is no one. Let's find an engineering team to blow up this place tomorrow."

Aizen didn't say anything, just nodded.

The two of them finished talking here and turned around as if they were going to leave directly. However, just as they turned around, a voice suddenly sounded behind Linton.

"Sir, do you think I'm beautiful?" This was a female voice that sounded quite pleasant, as if just by listening to the voice one could tell that the person speaking was a beautiful woman.

Linton smiled and turned around. Was he really scared? Of course, if there was really no reaction, Linton was going to ask Asuna to find an engineering team to flatten this place. If there was a problem here, someone or a ghost should come out to interfere. If no one interfered, he would just think that they had found the wrong place.

However, I didn't expect that the ghost here was so impatient. He popped out as soon as Linton finished speaking.

Theoretically, a woman suddenly appearing in such a deserted place, even if she was a beautiful woman, would definitely be quite scary. But Linton smiled instead, which made the slit-mouthed woman who deliberately scared him a little confused.

"You ugly bastard, cut here if you have the guts." Linton said, pointing directly at his head.
