Chapter 60

Near ten o'clock, the sun is hidden among the thin clouds, like a bright white cocoon.

The Kishimoto Police Department walked out of the gate of Yakuoji Temple.

The strong sunlight made him subconsciously rub his eyes.

Many tourists gathered in front of the square, and the direction of the parking lot was full of colorful tourist buses.

Police Department Kishimoto walked down the stone steps.

His footsteps cannot be said to be brisk, and the continuous high-intensity work these days has already made him feel a little tired.

"Miss Miyuki, why haven't you returned since it's almost noon today?"

"Oh, the car broke down, I'm waiting for the rescue from the car repair company."

There are two people talking on the side of the road.

This happened to be on the way forward, and the Kishimoto Police Department's eyes stopped for a moment.

A monk from Yaowang Temple and a woman with short hair.

The woman was wearing gray overalls, a single ponytail, and a baseball cap... When the Kishimoto Police Department walked over, they could faintly smell fish.

It's her.

A vague object figure appeared in Mr. Police Department's mind.

Most of the vehicles entering and leaving Mount Takao are tourist buses, and there are also many small vans transporting food up the mountain.

After Tachibana Jun disappeared, the Kishimoto Police Department did not fail to check these vehicles.

The woman named Miyuki is the owner of a seafood shop in Kamakura, and she regularly delivers seafood to Shishioji Temple every Wednesday.

Out of professional vigilance, the Kishimoto Police Department had paid attention to Miss Miyuki.

However, after the investigation, it was found that her life trajectory did not overlap with Tachibana's family, and her behavior during this period was normal, and she had been in the seafood business with Yaowangsi for more than a year, so the suspicion of committing the crime can basically be ruled out.

It's impossible to start the layout a year ago... The Kishimoto Police Department sighed tiredly, and walked to the place agreed with Tachibana Kiyoaki.

It was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre case after working in the industry for so long.

Shenyin...or the Tengu kidnapped people.

But there are no tengus in the world, right?
Why does it become the work of the Tengu when it is passed on?
It's just a matter of location.

Police Department Kishimoto thought about it.

It is precisely because there has always been a legend of a tengu in Yaowang Temple that people who disappear here are considered to have encountered a ghost.If the police can't solve the case, then the rumors of "Tiangou kidnapping people" will become more mysterious, and the real suspect will be able to get away with it.

Of course, the role of the police in this is most likely to be a funny role that is responsible for setting off the atmosphere.

Kishimoto Police Department is not afraid of being laughed at.

It's just that such a case is in his hands, and he will never forget it for a long time, which will definitely affect the investigation of new cases.

There is a crooked appearance in front of the stone steps.

Police Department Kishimoto raised his head and looked straight out.

In the middle of the crooked stone steps, flower beds and trees are planted, and the straight-line distance between the front and back stone steps is less than ten meters.Among them, the width of the flower beds is about three meters, and the rest are sparsely planted with zelkova trees.

Legend has it that Tengu have lived in Mt. Takao since ancient times.

If an unusual fire lights up in the mountains in the dark night, a wonderful scene will appear.

This is called "Tengu Yudeng".

The mountains are pitch black at night, and if the light is turned on at this location, it can be seen from far away.

This is just a gimmick to attract tourists. There are no tengus in the world... The Kishimoto Police Department looked around for a long time before walking into the flower garden.

The glare of the sun shone down.

The greenery of the zelkova trees is spreading.

Basking in the sunlight shining through the cracks in the leaves, the three enjoyed sweet pastries while drinking cold drinks.Seeing Mr. Police Department coming in, the young man waved his hands and greeted him refreshedly: "Police Department Kishimoto, you are really slow in coming."

Mr. Police Department has a square face with a wide chin, a broad chest and thick arms.

He was wearing an open-necked jacket and coat, and his black shoes were frayed, giving the impression that he had not been home for ten or eight days since he started the case.

"The Jidao son who came to join in the fun is very annoying..." The Kishimoto Police Department reluctantly responded to Tachibana Kiyoaki's greetings, and began to scan the surrounding environment.

The bushes were soaked with days of rain, and the ground was slippery and covered with fallen leaves.The stones on the high ground are also covered with thick and black moss, which is as slippery as the back of an animal.

"Have the police searched this area?" Tachibana Qingxian asked.

"There must be. The focus of our search is the area with dense vegetation below..." Kishimoto Police Department said in a professional tone. Choose to do it in this kind of place."

As he spoke, his eyes moved to the top of the pothole.

"But even if you search carefully, it's hard to find this pothole." He squatted by the side of the pothole, carefully observing the traces of the hole.After finding that there were only traces of rain washing and water at the bottom, both inside and outside the cave, he frowned and said while taking pictures: "In this case, fingerprints cannot be checked, and hair for DNA identification cannot be collected. Ah, how can you prove that Tachibana Jun fell..."

Matsudaira held the cup of tangerine water in her small hands, her cheeks puffed up slightly: "Well, it's fine if he falls down..."

"Why did Tachibana Jun step on the flower garden..." Kishimoto Police Department said in confusion.He turned his head and looked at the blond girl with slightly green eyes, "Normally, no matter whether you go down the mountain or up the mountain, you should walk according to the stone steps. Why did he go straight through the middle of the stone steps?" flower garden?"

Matsudaira raised her slender long eyelashes and stared at him: "You are so stupid, not as good as Ah Qing!"

"..."

Kishimoto's eyes twitched.

Then he looked at the "Ah Qing" in the girl's mouth.

Ju Qingxian was lying on the non-slip mat, with her arms bent as a pillow, and her expression was very comfortable.The insides of his arms were so white that even the veins showed through, and in the sunlight that sifted through the leaves, he looked like a cat ready to yawn at any time.

This boy probably also thinks I'm stupid... Kishimoto Police Department has this idea inexplicably in his mind.

It's not that exaggerated.

Ju Qingxian didn't think he was stupid.

But he didn't regard him as an experienced criminal policeman.

"Before coming to Mt. Takao, my sister and I went to Kiryu's house and learned something about it..." Tachibana Qingxian rolled his eyes, revealing the boy's characteristic eagerness to reason, and told what he had learned. The information and my own reasoning were explained in detail.

During this process, Ju Qingxue gently combed his hair, her eyes sparkled, and she felt proud of her younger brother.

After hearing his words, the Kishimoto Police Department was a little surprised: "You mean, this place is where the Tengu appeared?"

"Here, you can watch this."

Ju Qingxian handed over the phone.

The few photos on the screen show the wear marks on the connection between the trunk of the zelkova and the branches.The kind of traces that are similar to strangle marks can be seen at a glance as the wear and tear left by ropes and the like.

The Kishimoto police department pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Very good reasoning, many places coincide with my thoughts."

"What do you think?" Ju Qingxian asked with interest.

"I don't think there are any tengus with long noses in the world." The Kishimoto Police Department maintained its professionalism, and looked at Tachibana Qingxian completely at the eyes of his peers. Only two people disappeared in the mountains. Cases: not dead or dead, traces or bodies were hidden.Did not die or died, was kidnapped or the body was transported down the mountain.Based on the premise that the police conducted a week-long search of the mountain and found nothing, I believe that whether Tachibana Jun is still alive or not, he is no longer in the mountain. "

Well, maybe.

No, it should be said, it must be so.

"I think so too." Tachibana smiled, and tapped his cheek with his index finger, "As for how Tachibana Jun went down the mountain, I have reasoned before, and the conclusion I came to is to go out on the paved road."

Police Department Kishimoto was silent.

It's not that he hadn't imagined it this way, but he checked all the vehicles going up and down the mountain during that time, and found nothing unusual.

"Can you show me the road monitoring during this period?" Ju Qingxian asked suddenly.

Kishimoto Police Department hesitated for a while, but still chose to shake his head: "Sorry, you don't have this authority."

Ju Qingxian didn't bother, she had expected it a long time ago, and looked up at her sister: "Did you see that? Xiaoxue, I have already said that detectives are a bad job with no future. After this case is over, hurry up and go Be a cop."

That tone, as if he was a brother.

"Okay, okay, listen to you!" Ju Qingxue pinched his cheek fondly.

Kishimoto Police Department looked at her with some surprise.

This is an intellectual beauty with a cool and soft face, with long black hair that is soft and shiny.In terms of age, she is at least ten years older than the boy, but she is like a younger sister in front of the boy... What a strange relationship.

The woods became a little quieter.

Police Department Kishimoto and Tachibana Kiyoaki were thinking about sorting out the case information, and Yui Matsudaira was eating a cream cake bought at a stall in the square.She usually eats high-end fruit desserts in Ginza or Roppongi. Compared with the cakes from this country stall, the taste is really different.

But let's be honest, it's nice to sit in a dirty grove and eat brioche.

The cake was not delicious at all.

The scene of wet dead leaves and some unknown bugs crawling around is not a beautiful scene.

Ke Songping only felt like it.

Maybe it was the rare time she escaped from Songping's house to play outside, or maybe Ah Qing was by her side, which made her feel that even the unaccustomed earthy smell was refreshing.

Time slowly came to noon.

The cool breeze blowing slowly brought a slight tiredness.

"Although I'm sorry that I can't show you the surveillance, but in any case, I am very grateful for the ideas you provided." The Kishimoto Police Department stood up, bowed slightly to Tachibana Qingxian, and then turned and walked out of the woods.

"Ha, let's go back too..."

Ju Qingxian yawned and stood up.

After Ju Qingxue stood up, she frowned slightly.

"I'll help you." Ju Qingxian stretched out her hand caringly, wrapping her arms around her sister's slender waist.

"okay……"

Xiaoxue's face began to turn red again.

"Shoulders." Ju Qingxian said in a low voice.

"What, what..."

"I said, put your hand on my shoulder."

"Oh, oh..." Ju Qingxue answered a few syllables in a low voice, stretched out an arm hesitantly, and put it lightly on his younger brother's shoulder.

"and many more!"

Matsudaira put her hands on her hips and stared her eyes wide.

"What about me?" She asked Ju Qingxian eagerly, "Why don't you help me?"

Ju Qingxian turned her head and looked at her fresh and clean face like pale flower petals: "Clean up the things on the floor and take them back to the room."

Matsudaira was obviously very unhappy, and muttered in a low voice: "I am also a sister..."

Ju Qingxian had already walked away with Ju Qingxue.

"Humph!"

The girl stomped her feet angrily.

Damn puppy, I will punish you for licking Xiaowei's jiojio tonight!

"Ah Qing," Ju Qingxue pressed half of her body on her younger brother, "Xiao Wei is also our partner after all, please be polite to her."

"How should I put it..." Ju Qingxian felt the softness of her sister's waist, and said absent-mindedly: "In a team, each member has their own division of labor. For example, I am the brain responsible for thinking, and Xiaoxue is responsible for action." Xiao Wei is the appendix, responsible for getting in the way at critical moments..."

"..."

Ju Qingxue had strange eyes.

Biting her lip, her shoulders shook for a while, but she couldn't hold back in the end, laughing so hard that she lay on top of her brother.

On the edge of the crowded square, Soichiro Yagyu with long hair was lying on the railing, basking in the sun with a piece of grass in his mouth.

Seeing Ju Qingxian and Ju Qingxue coming up, a very familiar smile filled his face that needed to be beaten.

"Hey, Master Qing, good afternoon." He greeted enthusiastically, "This place is a bit evil, please don't run around. Don't ask me how I know, I don't know what's going on. Tengu competed with a sword, and ended up waking me up in pain..."

Oh.

Only then did Ju Qingxian know.

It turns out that the system simulates the reality of swordsmanship practice, and the simulated party will also feel it... What if the object of my simulation is Xiaoxue?

Ju Qingxue noticed that her younger brother's gaze was a little strange, and she couldn't help but said, "Uh, what's wrong with you? Did you think of any clues?"

"Xiaoxue, we two siblings, I advise you not to be ignorant of good and evil!" Ju Qingxian raised an eyebrow at her sister, and smiled wickedly, "If you threaten me with force in the future, be careful of me in the middle of the night!" kidney."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaoxue's white and tender fist brushed the tip of his nose.

"You engaged in a sneak attack again!" Ju Qingxian was very dissatisfied.

"Warning once!" Ju Qingxue shook her fist and raised her eyebrows at him proudly, "If you dare to contradict my sister next time, I'm not joking with you."

The noon sun reflected on her face, shining brightly and radiantly.

Different from her seriousness and indifference in front of outsiders, in front of her younger brother, she can always reveal her inner softness.The slightly parted red lips seemed to be trimmed bangs, and a few strands of hair carelessly hung down on the forehead, like the soft fur of some kind of cute animal.

"Sister, hurry up and find someone to marry." Ju Qingxian said seriously.

At this time, Xiaoxue didn't know what strange things were going on in her younger brother's mind.

"..."

Ju Qingxue was stunned for three seconds before reacting.

There was a touch of blush on that clear and beautiful face.

The sun shone on the delicate face of melon seeds, reflecting a healthy and warm color, the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and the eyebrows were also curved into a pair of light moons.

So lovely!
Tangerine clearly thought to herself.
