Chapter 43 It Was Just an Accident
"I'd say it even if you didn't."

Bai Chuan carefully pushed the dagger away from his neck with one finger, "Maybe it's because of the preparations for the festival, the shrine's defenses are more lax than I imagined, even if it's you... um, even that cold-faced person Miss Sister should also be able to sneak in smoothly."

"I lost my way while looking for the toilet, so I easily slipped into the apse and sat on a crooked-neck tree until the end of the ceremony. Then I discovered a very strange thing. Longevity woman was walking alone Back to the apse."

"What's wrong with this?" Miyano Shiho found that Bai Chuan, who was pinned to the neck by Qin Jiu with a dagger, didn't have the slightest look of fear on his face, so he naturally lost his previous panic, and asked curiously.

"Actually, it's okay, but it's just that a 130-year-old man can walk carelessly like this without anyone's support, no matter how you think about it, he cares a little bit!
And I waited until dark and didn't see Miss Shimaobi Junhui.You want to say that Changshou Po is strong and can walk like flying. I admit it. Could it be that she can take a bath by herself, cook and wash clothes by herself?Even if all the physical qualities are satisfied, what about the spirit?

It is impossible for a 130-year-old man to be as energetic as a child. Lao Pi is only in his 70s, and he can't help but doze off during meetings, let alone an old man twice his age. "

"What do you mean?"

Gin narrowed his eyes, and the skin on his face and hands can be resolved with makeup. As long as he controls his time well, Belmode can indeed play someone shorter than himself to a certain extent, so the longevity woman is likely to Is it a disguise, and that's why they only met Changshou Po for 10 minutes?

Bai Chuan shook his head, "I wasn't sure, so I searched the temple again. I found a fire in the warehouse, and the short-haired receptionist I saw this morning and the other two women were doing weird sacrifices inside."

"That Miss Naoko?" After a short memory, Miyano Shiho remembered the appearance of the short-haired female receptionist, "Her behavior and behavior are completely different from Miss Shimaobi, obviously she is not a real priestess, she should just be a temporary receptionist who plays the role of priestess." Bar?"

"Who knows? Anyway, Miss Naoko presided over this small ceremony. Listening to the conversation between the three of them, the fire that broke out in the warehouse at this time last year was not accidental, but man-made."

Although he was firmly pressed to the ground by the gin, Bai Chuan reluctantly made a movement of shrugging his shoulders.

"Last year, because they failed to get the arrow of the dugong, they locked the longevity woman in the warehouse and lit a fire while drunk, hoping to see if immortality was true. As a result, the longevity woman appeared as scheduled the next morning. Inside, there was an extra corpse without a lower body.

From then on, the three of them believed in the mermaid legend, and today they didn't get the dugong's arrow. They thought they were cursed for killing the mermaid, so they came to the warehouse to perform sacrifices, hoping to get the mermaid's understanding and pray for blessings. "

"And then?" Miyano Shiho listened with great interest, completely treating all this as listening to a story.

"Then there is no more. They accidentally lit the hay during the sacrifice. When they were about to escape, one of the women called Saori suddenly said that the fire was the test of the mermaid, and the three of them needed to be baptized to be forgiven.

As a result, the three women walked into the flames and burned themselves to death as if they were in a daze. "

Bai Chuan said that the degree of magic is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination.

"I took advantage of the fire and sneaked into the apse. There were beds, toiletries, clothes, etc., but there was obviously only one trace of life, and one of the two toothbrushes was already covered with dust. By the way, I And found these."

As Bai Chuan said, he stretched out his hand to his bosom, and Qin Jiu quickly sent the dagger forward, stopping the act of taking something out of his bosom, and then turned to look at Xue Li.

"You come."

Miyano Shiho was also polite, and stretched out his hand to pull out a cloth bag from Shirakawa's arms.

"In it is a set of unfinished masks, and a book of disguise experience. There are at least three types of fonts on the experience. It is obviously a treasure handed down from the family. It may be that the work of playing the longevity woman has lasted for more than ten years or even longer. The experience The last few pages of the book should have been written by Ms. Shimaobi Junhui. If I roughly calculate the time, it happened to be about a year ago.

Tomorrow morning we can find out when Shimao Dai Junhui's mother died. If it happens to be about a year ago, then everything will be over.Or go to the back mountain to see if there are any tombs with no names written on them, and dig them out to have a look. "

Gin put away the dagger, and at the same time let go of Bai Chuan's right hand, seemingly satisfied with the results of this investigation.

"By the way, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, I even stole a dugong arrow and prepared to take it back for testing."

Looking at the slightly rough prop at the bottom of the cloth bag, Gin silently stuffed it into his coat pocket.

"Return trip tomorrow."

After confirming that the so-called mermaid legend was just a farce, Miyano Shiho yawned and went back to his room to sleep.

When only Bai Chuan and Qin Jiu were left in the room, the familiar dagger was placed in the familiar position again.

"You did a lot of unnecessary things!"

"Senior, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Bai Chuan looked at Qin Jiu with a smile, and was not at all surprised that his little tricks were discovered.

"Hmph!" Qin Jiu didn't say much, but just poked the dagger forward again.If it wasn't for the fact that the external turmoil hadn't subsided, he would use a more direct weapon to talk to Bai Chuan now.

"Well, I did kill those three women." Bai Chuan held up his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Actually, what I said is the truth, but the order has to be changed."

"I sneaked into the apse before the ceremony, and in addition to those things just now, I also found Shimao Junhui's investigation on the cause of her mother's death. She was sure that the murderer was Saori Monri, but she was not sure if there were any accomplices.

I used Saori Kamenori's nervousness to convince her that the mermaid had come ashore for revenge.The woman really found her accomplice, and the result of the discussion between the three was not to hold a sacrifice to appease the mermaid's anger, but to set fire to burn the mermaid ashore to death.

But after setting the fire, the three people found that the door of the warehouse was locked at some point, so they could only die in the flame they ignited with their own hands with unwillingness and despair. "

Bad taste.

Qin Jiu put down his dagger again, and did not doubt Bai Chuan's words.

Rum once showed him the autopsy report of a novelist, the cause of death was frightened to death.More than [-]% of that incident was caused by the seemingly innocent and harmless young man in front of him.

Therefore, Qin Jiu thinks that he has always been aware of Bai Chuan's true character, a lunatic who likes to create all kinds of accidents to satisfy his perverted desires.

"I don't care about your little hobbies, but if the existence of the organization is exposed, I will kill you without hesitation!"

"Don't worry senior, everything is just an 'accident'."

In the shrine, Shimao Junhui, who finally extinguished the fire, returned to the room stroking her sore shoulder, and saw the open safe at a glance.She rushed forward in two or three steps, carefully inspecting the items stored inside.

A few minutes later, Shimao Junhui knelt down on the ground with a daze, anger and a little disengagement.

There are indeed some things missing in the safe, but there are more things that came out. There is evidence that Saori Kadori, Naoko Kuroe, and Sumi Ebihara burned the warehouse a year ago, as well as a confession letter signed by handprints. And a photo of the three praying peacefully amidst the raging fire tonight.

At the bottom of these evidences is a card with a line of off-white words that seem to be writhing

[Mission completed, the price will be paid by the mermaid—Professor Q]
