After we broke up, my ex asked me to attack her

Chapter 341 As long as the criminal is not a human, he will not be arrested!
"Come to think of it, I haven't asked for your names yet."

"Why are you so polite all of a sudden?"

"What, what are you doing? I'm a good daughter of Showa who will repay a favor! What's so strange about wanting to know the name of my benefactor?!"

"Kagura Hikaru."

"Ai Komori!"

"I'm Mizuno Yuna. I'm not very talented, so please give me your guidance."

The above is the conversation that took place when the three people were going down the mountain.

They were on their way to the murderer's house.

Premise 1: This rural town is very small, with a population of less than a thousand people, and neighbors all know each other well.

Premise 2: The deceased shrine maiden, Mizuno Yuna, has seen the murderer's face and knows who he is.

Answer: There is no need for any reasoning, just go directly to the murderer's house to arrest him. There is no role for a detective in this novel at all!
Kagura Hikaru has already made a plan.

Simply put, first use your excellent eloquence to break their defense, and if there is resistance, use force to break their defense a second time.

Then comes the search for key evidence. It can be imagined that the evidence is most likely near the murderer's home. Look for a well. If the well mouth is found to be sealed, then you have found the right way. After breaking it, you will find the body.

The next step is to call the police and put the criminal in jail. When taking the statement, just say it was a revelation from God or something to fool the criminal. If the criminal dares to sue him for damaging property, the legal knowledge and lawyer skills in his head will come in handy, and he can then ask him for compensation for mental damage, causing him to break down for the third time.

This is Kagura Hikaru's perfect arithmetic classroom.

Unfortunately, we encountered setbacks at the first step.

".I've been knocking on the door for five minutes."

“No one answered.”

"Gah, gah, gah!"

In the sound of the crow that Komori loved to imitate, Kagura Hikaru helplessly discovered a fact.

Thirty years have passed, and the murderer may not still be in the same place, it is very likely that he has moved.

From the outside, this remote bungalow located at the foot of the mountain, far away from the center of the town, is indeed almost in a state of abandonment. The door is covered with sand blown by the wind, and it has obviously not been cleaned for a long time, and even weeds have sprouted.

Moreover, because of the unreasonably high outer wall, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside the house, and it was impossible to determine whether there was no one there or someone was deliberately ignoring the response.

"Oh, aren't you a child of the Kagura family? Why are you here? Do you have something to do with the owner of this house?"

At this time, an old man carrying a basket on his back happened to pass by and asked while touching his straw hat.

There was no trace of Komori Ai and Mizuno Yuna in his eyes, he was just looking straight at Kagura Hikaru.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask if this family has moved?" Kagura Mitsuru asked.

"Yes, about twenty years ago, I moved to the city because I got married."

"That's right."

"What do you want from him?"

"I just heard some uncertain news. It's nothing serious. Go ahead and do your thing."

Kagura watched the old man walk up the mountain and shook her head at the shrine maiden.

Now it seems that this is not the time to be optimistic.

The murderer ran away.

"Well, don't be discouraged, this kind of thing does happen!" Mizuno Yuna smiled and patted Kagura Hikaru's shoulder, "He just slipped away temporarily, the opportunity will definitely come!"

".makes sense."

As long as the criminal is alive and active in this country, there will be a day when he will be brought to justice.

"Anyway, let's sneak in and make sure the body is still there."

Kagura looked around to make sure no one was around, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to climb over the wall. "Bridge sack!" Mizuno Yuna stretched out her right hand and sternly stopped him, "Breaking into a private residence when no one is around is a crime, young man! You'll be caught by the police!"

".What are you talking about?"

Kagura Hikaru looked confused, "It's not a crime if you don't get caught. Isn't that common sense?"

"Where on earth did you get this kind of common sense? Tadmor Military Prison?!"

"Then what do you want to do? If you don't first ensure that the most important evidence of the crime exists, it will be meaningless to unilaterally accuse the murderer."

"So don't be so anxious, young man. I never said I wouldn't confirm it."

"?"

The witch straightened her chest and patted it proudly, "Criminal law is a law set for humans, so as long as the criminal is not a human, he will not be arrested!"

Has even the awareness of being a human being disappeared? Time is truly terrifying.

Kagura Hikaru was thinking of something rude and allowed the shrine maiden to pass through the wall and invade the murderer's house.

Come to think of it, even if he went in, the person who would finally confirm whether there was a body in the well would be the ghost Mizuno Yuna. He couldn't just smash open the wellhead before the police arrived, as that would destroy the evidence.

And if by chance there is someone in that house, the witch, who is like air in the eyes of ordinary people, will easily be ignored, killing two birds with one stone.

After waiting for a minute, Kagura Hikaru saw Mizuno Yuna coming out with a complicated expression.

"How about it?"

"Yes, that is indeed my body." The witch said intermittently.

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"No."

Kagura nodded: "I understand."

For the ghost to see his own corpse after thirty years, and it was murdered, seemed to be too much of a shock. On the way home, the witch, who had always been lively and actively talking to people, actually lowered her head and thought without saying a word.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, although Kagura Mitsuru felt it was troublesome, he still started talking to her, hoping that it could help divert attention.

"Hey, you wanna follow me all the way home?"

"Hmm? Is it not possible?" The witch looked up.

"Come to think of it, you said before that you were an earthbound spirit. How come you could come here? Don't you find it strange?" Kagura Mitsuru looked back and saw that the foot of the mountain where the shrine was located was already far away.

"I am indeed a ghost, after all, I really can't leave this village." The witch defended, "Before I died and turned into a ghost, I didn't expect the range of activities of the ghosts to be so large."

"Then why are you staying at the shrine instead of being with your family?"

Kagura Hikaru's question caused the miko to remain silent for a moment.

"My family left ten years ago, or they are buried deep in their hometown. I guess there is no chance for us to meet again."

"Really? That's a pity."

".Ahem, how is Kagura's family? Is he happy?"

"It's not so bad. My parents cheated on me. My father cheated on me with my stepmother. My mother remarried with an ex-girlfriend who we broke up with in middle school. My grandfather who I was very close to passed away recently. That's about it."

"."

"So heavy—there are words written on your face."

"Brother, I didn't expect that appearance is not the best indicator of a person's character. You have had such a painful past at such a young age." The witch covered her mouth with tears in her eyes.

What does "Don't judge a person by appearance" mean?

"Would you like to borrow my shoulder? I'll let you lean on me anytime!"

"That's no need."
