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

Chapter 342 Policeman, it's him
The farewell ceremony for the body will be held on time at eight o'clock in the morning.

At the Kagura family, Kagura Hikaru knelt on the tatami, together with her grandmother, father and stepmother, watching a monk chanting sutras to the portrait and coffin.

The coffin was surrounded by flowers, which filled the room with a light floral fragrance, diluting the smell of decay of the elderly.

Maybe it was the smell of a corpse, he didn't know.

The chanting was surprisingly long; they knelt for at least half an hour.

After the ceremony, with the help of the funeral company staff, Kagura Mitsuru and his family watched the coffin being loaded onto the hearse and prepared to be sent to the crematorium for cremation.

When the hearse was being carried on, many villagers came outside to bid farewell. Some of them had been seen yesterday, and there were also many new faces. Upon closer inspection, there were actually more people than yesterday.

This made Kagura Hikaru realize that the funeral that day was not just a whim of the neighbors, and his grandfather might be unexpectedly popular in this village.

Thinking this, he glanced at the crowd casually.

Suddenly, Kagura Hikaru's gaze froze and she looked straight at an unremarkable middle-aged man in the crowd who was smoking a cigarette.

Then he suddenly turned his head to look at the unknown ghost witch beside him, and found that she was also looking over there with a complicated expression on her face.

"Is it him?" Kagura Hikaru lowered his voice.

The witch hesitated for a few seconds and nodded heavily: "It should be correct. I have never forgotten his face in all these years."

In fact, even if the shrine maiden was not sure, Kagura Hikaru would not admit her mistake.

Because that person was the middle-aged man he saw in the prophecy picture who was suspected to be the murderer!

When I first heard that he had moved away, I thought it would take a lot of effort to find him, but I didn’t expect that we were really destined to meet.

The hearse of the funeral company started up, and Kagura Hikaru's father walked over and said, "We are going to follow the car to the crematorium, do you want to come over?"

"I'll wait for you at home." Kagura said this while looking in other directions.

"Okay, if you don't make it back in time, you'll have lunch by yourself."

"understood."

Kagura's father, stepmother and grandmother got in the car and followed the hearse. The villagers around also left one after another, including the middle-aged man.

But Kagura Hikaru had already locked onto him, and almost as soon as he turned around, she reached through the crowd and grabbed his arm.

"Hmm?" The man turned around and looked at Kagura Hikaru with dissatisfaction, his tone quite impatient, "What's the matter?"

"Tanaka Koichiro, thirty-two years ago, at night, at the Yamagami Shrine, you tried to steal the money from the money box. After being discovered, you hit the shrine maiden Mizuno Yuna on the head with a wine bottle and dumped her in the well. Is that right or not?"

Kagura Hikaru's voice was not loud, just the volume of a normal conversation, but what she said was like a high-yield bomb exploding in the man's heart.

His expression changed drastically, and his entire face and ears turned visibly red, a sign of extreme nervousness, and he subconsciously struggled to break free from Kagura Hikaru's hand.

[This little devil, how did he know!? ]

[Damn it, should I kill him to silence him? But there are so many people around, it’s not good, if they hear it, they will be suspected! ]

Along with the mind-reading content, the memory of a man dragging a girl in a shrine maiden's costume in the dark was also transmitted.

A cold light flashed across Kagura's eyes.

These things are enough to prove this person's suspicion. As expected, he is the murderer who killed Mizuno Yuna.

Tanaka Koichiro tried to suppress his voice and growled, "Little friend, I advise you not to talk nonsense. It's unwise to accuse someone of being a murderer without any evidence, but—"

"The evidence is in your well. You threw Mizuno Yuna into the well and sealed the well mouth with cement." Compared with the excited murderer, Kagura Hikaru's face was calm at the moment. She spoke the truth that made the man tremble as calmly as a robot, "In fact, you didn't kill her on the spot that day. She was trapped in the well and starved to death."

"you"

Tanaka Koichiro's face changed again, turning blue and white.

"What's going on? What are the Kagura kids talking about?"

"Mizuno Yuna, you're talking about the one from the Mizuno family who disappeared thirty years ago."

"Hey Tanaka! Is what he said true!?"

"No wonder no one could find the body. If someone had murdered him and hidden him away, he would have been dead!"

Many villagers came to the farewell party, and Kagura Hikaru did not control the volume, so what happened was heard clearly by the people around him, and they soon started talking about it.

There were basically no young people present except Kagura Hikaru (and Komori Ai). Everyone clearly remembered the big accident that happened thirty years ago.

Suddenly, many people looked at Tanaka Koichiro with strange eyes.

"Haha, haha, you guys don't really believe this, do you? This is just the kid's nonsense!" Tanaka Koichiro was sweating profusely and shouted in a funny way, "How can a teenager find out the truth about a murder case that happened thirty years ago? Even if he's a famous detective, he can't do it. There are no clues at all!"

This sounds like a logical defense, but to people like Kagura Hikaru, it sounds like a provocation.

Yes, thirty years have passed, and even if there were clues, they have long been buried by time. It is not so easy to find the truth now - but if there is a plug-in, things will be different.

"I told you, the evidence is in your well." Kagura Hikaru was unmoved. He took out his cell phone and dialed the police number. "Hello, is this the police? I found a body. Please come immediately."

"Hey! Don't mess around, this is unreasonable, you don't have any evidence at all!!"

When the man heard Kagura Hikaru calling the police, he immediately got angry.

Although he said that, he knew very well in his heart that the facts were just as the high school student in front of him said.

The well in his hometown hides a murder that happened thirty years ago.

No matter whether Mizuno Yuna died in the shrine or in the well, the result was the same, he killed a person!

This was the secret the man intended to take into his coffin, and he even fled the town under the pretext of getting married.

Unexpectedly, during a routine visit to relatives in the countryside and the excitement of a funeral, his deepest secrets were bloodily revealed by an inexplicable high school student.

What on earth is this!!
Confusion, astonishment, anger, fear, a series of negative emotions surged up in an instant.

In a very short period of time, Koichiro Tanaka thought of himself being thrown into prison and his wife and children being separated from him. He almost lost his mind and punched Kagura Mitsuru who was reporting the case without thinking.

"shut up!"

However, Kagura Hikaru had already anticipated his counterattack, and took a step back to avoid the punch, with a cold expression on his face, and was still holding a mobile phone in his hand, talking to the police on the other end: "Yes, yes, it's here, you guys hurry over. Okay, I'll wait here."

The villagers around reacted at this time. Several men rushed up and held down Tanaka Koichiro, twisted his hands behind his back, and pressed him to the ground, unable to move.

This guy's reaction was so violent and he was going to attack a child, which made him even more suspicious.

Most of the villagers here knew Mizuno Yuna. She disappeared without a reason that year, and no one thought that she was killed by the villagers. At this moment, they looked at Tanaka Koichiro with anger in their eyes.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Let me go! I'm not the murderer, this kid is just talking nonsense! Hey!"

After hanging up the phone, Kagura Hikaru looked at the smiling shrine maiden next to her and breathed a sigh of relief.

The murderer was successfully captured.
