Coroner Ke Xue

The next day, deep in the mountains of Gunma County.

A short-haired girl wearing mountaineering clothes and hunter boots, dressed like a tourist, was leaning alone on a huge rock on the top of the mountain, looking down at the endless sea of ​​trees at her feet, as if she was quietly waiting for something.

She is Nanatsuki Yuesui.

A former high school detective, now a potential murderer.

All this is related to the "Lavender Room Murder Incident" a year ago.

"Lavender House" is a famous country villa in the Shikoku region. The owner of the villa is a local wealthy family.

A good friend of Koshimi Nanatsuki used to work as a maid in this wealthy gentleman's house.

Later, the eldest daughter of this family committed suicide behind closed doors in her bedroom due to personal reasons——

This was an ordinary suicide case.

The police initially confirmed that the deceased died of suicide.

However, a certain high school detective who assisted the police in investigating the case made a random analysis.

This simple suicide case was abruptly analyzed into a "secret room murder case."

Koshimi Nanatsuki's friend, the maid, unjustly became a murderer in the eyes of the police.

She was wronged and could not redress her injustice. She felt desperate and depressed, and unfortunately she chose to end her life.

Koshimi Nanatsuki lost a good friend because of this.

And after the subsequent investigation, she personally confirmed that this was an ordinary suicide case.

Her friend is innocent, and the secret room murder techniques that the "famous detective" randomly analyzed are fundamentally untenable.

Worse.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also found very obvious evidence at the scene. Just one look could confirm that this was not a secret room murder.

She didn't believe that the "famous detective" would not notice this evidence.

This means that the irresponsible guy probably knew that there was something wrong with his reasoning and knew that this case was not a secret room murder——

But in order to protect his reputation as a "famous detective", he insisted on wrong reasoning in front of the police without correcting it.

In the end, the innocent maid became the murderer in a case that was not a murder at all.

In other words, her friend who died unjustly was equivalent to being killed by this so-called "famous detective".

"It's a good time."

Koshimi Nanatsuki silently recited this bastard's name in his heart.

Although the local police have kept the identity of the "detective" secret, after several months of secret investigation, she has also successfully mastered the identity of the murderer:

Junya Tokizu, 18 years old, is a famous detective from Hokkaido. It is said that he has successfully solved more than 300 cases so far.

Just looking at the number of cases solved, he is really a genius who surpasses his peers.

But Koshikoshi Nanatsuki knew that this person was a cold-blooded, ruthless, morally corrupt person who was just trying to gain fame.

For the sake of the reputation of the famous detective, this bastard was able to ignore the law, ignore morality, ignore the truth, and ignore the cries of innocent people.

According to the principle of "house of thousands of cockroaches":

Among the more than 300 cases that Tokizu Junya solved, it is unknown how many of them were unjust cases caused by him like the "Lavender Room Murder Case".

How can we maintain good security with such insects?

He no longer deserves to be a detective.

Not even worthy of living.

In order to avenge her innocent friend, and in order to prevent this guy who was seeking fame from continuing to create more unjust cases, he had to die.

With these thoughts in mind, Koshimizu Nanatsuki's thoughts gradually became extreme.

Finally, as a famous detective, she began to practice "Sherlock Holmes" backwards, sliding step by step into the abyss of crime.

At this moment, she was only one step away from completely falling into the abyss.

All preparations for the killing were made.

Just wait until then Jinrunzai comes to your door.

"coming."

Over the water, Nanatsuki faintly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the forest path.

Through the branches and leaves of the tree, you can vaguely see a young man with long hair walking slowly towards this side.

Here you go, Shijin Runzai.

"Oh, famous detective."

Nanatsuki, who crossed the river, sighed softly:

After she changed her profession and became a prisoner, she realized how easy it was to deal with famous detectives.

All the famous detectives, including the original herself, had a more or less relaxed mentality of treating case commissions as detective games.

No matter who the client is, there is no need to even identify the client——

All it takes is to send an anonymous email from an unknown source and write a few enigmatic and well-written code words to arouse the curiosity of the famous detectives.

And whether it's a haunted house in the city or a country villa.

Whether it is an isolated island overseas or a deep forest and barren mountain.

The detective will always come to your door.

When traveling to such isolated and uninhabited wilderness, where the sky and the earth are unable to function, they often don’t even bring a satellite phone with them.

If the enemy sets up a trap and ambush in this barren mountain, no one will even know if he dies outside.

And Koshimi Nanatsuki is now playing this enemy.

She just sent an anonymous letter of entrustment to Tokizu Junya, explaining in code words that she had accidentally obtained a treasure map, and hoped that "The Great Detective Tokizu Junya" would come to Gunma County to meet with her. Together, she deciphered treasure maps and searched for treasures in the mountains.

Code words, treasure maps, treasures.

Putting these eye-catching keywords together, Tokijin Junya was like a shark that smelled blood, rushing over regardless.

"You're finally here -"

Koshimi Nanatsuki sneered in his heart, but his face was very enthusiastic:

"Mr. Tokijin."

"Are you the client this time?"

Tokijin Junya wore the air of a famous detective, his eyes full of conceited indifference:

"Yes, the code words in your letter are quite good."

"Haha." Koshizui Nanatsuki agreed with a smile: "You're flattered."

"Please forgive me for being rude and testing your reasoning ability in this way on the invitation."

"It doesn't matter." Tokijin Junzai snorted disdainfully: "If I can't even decipher your code word, why should I come here?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just take out the treasure map."

"I'll try to crack it out by the afternoon."

"This way we can get down from this hellish place before the sun sets."

Tokijin Junya's tone was full of confidence, as if the crack to the treasure map was just within reach.

Of course, Koshimi Nanatsuki didn't have any treasure map to show him.

She just replied with a kind face:

"I'll bring you the treasure map right away."

"But Mr. Tokitsu"

"Before coming here, you didn't tell anyone about this treasure hunt commission, right?"

"of course not."

Tokijin Junzai glanced impatiently:

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"The fewer people who know about the treasure, the better. I understand this without you reminding me."

"That's good." Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled.

Haha, he is indeed a fool.

Without revealing the itinerary to others in advance, I ran alone into the deep mountains and forests.

This is simply helping her achieve the perfect crime.

"Mr. Shijin, you are really thoughtful."

"Let's talk."

She pretended to look for the treasure map in her bag while chatting with him intentionally or unintentionally:

"Actually, I have always been a fan of Mr. Tokijin, your genius high school detective!"

"I have seen all the cases you helped the police solve in the past."

"Really? Haha, stop being so polite."

Seeing such a beautiful girl unabashedly showing his admiration for her, Toki Jinjunzai couldn't help but feel excited.

"No, that's not a polite comment."

"I have studied you carefully."

Koshimi Nanatsuki's smile quietly became dangerous:

"Especially the famous secret room murder case you solved in Shikoku, that's the one"

"The Lavender Room Murders in the Locked Room."

"Xun, lavender house?"

The smile at the corner of Toki Jinjunzai's mouth suddenly solidified.

His expression suddenly became a little subtle:

"Yes, yes."

"You have also paid attention to that case."

"Of course I have paid attention to it." Koshizui Nanatsuki's eyes gradually turned cold: "Not only have I paid attention to it, I also went to see it in person."

"I also found several rusty screws at the scene."

"From the rustiness of the screws, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance——"

"Mr. Tokijin, the secret room killing technique you mentioned is simply not true."

"This is not a secret room murder at all, but an ordinary suicide."

"You, you" Tokijin Junya's expression suddenly changed: "What are you talking about? Damn it."

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Just a third-rate detective."

Koshimi Nanatsuki completely tore off his mask:

"With my ability, I can still notice the problem with those screws at a glance."

"Mr. Tokijin, as a genius detective who has successfully solved more than 300 cases, you can't even notice such obvious physical evidence, right?"

"I" Shijin Runzai was already a little incoherent.

His eyes were evasive and he didn't dare to answer, but his face as pale as paper said everything.

"You do know."

"You know your initial reasoning was wrong and you know the suspect was wrongly accused."

"But in order to preserve your reputation as a famous detective, you still chose to convince the police to believe your wrong reasoning and let an innocent person serve as a stepping stone for your reputation!"

"The results of it?"

"You forced that innocent maid to death——"

"Killed my best friend!"

At the end of the sentence, Koshimi Nanatsuki's delicate face was twisted with anger.

And faced with her indignant scolding.

After being caught off guard and panicked, Tokijin Junya's reaction was:

"W-what are you talking about?"

"What wrong reasoning, what injustice to innocent people"

"I think these are all your delusions, right?!"

He steadfastly denied all the accusations and even emboldened himself to shout:

"hehe."

"Put away the recorder you hid."

"I have never made any wrong reasoning at all, nor have I deliberately wronged any good person——"

"It is impossible for me to be misled by the trap you set and tell any negative testimony against me here."

"." Keshui Nanatsuki was silent for a while.

Tokijin Junya's shameless remarks made her so angry that she couldn't help laughing:

"Hahahaha, Shijin!"

"You still think that I set this trap for you just to set up your testimony?"

"Think about it for me -"

"If it's just a testimonial, why would I ask you to meet in the mountains?"

"You" Tokijin Runzai was speechless for a moment.

Koshimi Nanatsuki's appearance of a weak schoolgirl is too deceptive.

Even in the wilderness, it is difficult for a man to be wary in front of such a harmless little girl.

Now seeing the undisguised killing intent in her eyes, Toki Jinjunzai suddenly realized:

This is a trap.

Killing trap!

"W-what do you want to do."

Tokijin Junya stepped back with an ugly expression:

"I advise you not to act recklessly."

"No, otherwise."

"What else?"

"Will you be caught by the police?"

"Sorry." Nanatsuki Koshizui smiled coldly: "Mr. Tokijin, you have helped me achieve the perfect crime."

Yes, she has almost achieved the perfect crime.

Two months ago, Koshizui Nanatsuki planned to use the old detective methods to design a murderous plot. At the "Detective Koshien" event, he would identify the target among several high school detectives and take advantage of the situation. "deal with".

But the TV station unexpectedly canceled the show.

So she had to redesign her murder plan while investigating the target's identity.

When Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought deeply, he quickly discovered:

Learn how to commit crimes with "Sherlock Holmes"

It is better to learn how to commit crimes by following "Today's Statement: Detective Lin Xinyi", which is more direct and effective.

To achieve a perfect crime, there is no need to devise any murderous plot.

Just need to clean up all traces.

Where is the crime committed least likely to leave traces for investigation?

Of course it’s the wild mountains.

A body buried deep in the mountains may not be discovered for ten to eight years.

Even if the police could discover the body accidentally, the traces at the scene would have been completely destroyed by nature.

According to the principle of "no case without a body," as long as the body is not discovered, Jin Runzai can only be treated as "missing" by the police in the place where he is registered.

Disappearance cases are much less serious than murder cases, and generally no one will investigate them.

Even if someone does check, who can find it deep in the mountains?

So just the location of the crime made Koshimi Nanatsuki's murder plan almost certain.

And since there are mountains everywhere in Japan, why was Qunma County chosen as the location of the crime?

Because Gunma Prefecture has more than just mountains.

And the police here are very special.

Koshimi Nanatsuki had checked in advance and found that Gunma County had the lowest crime detection rate in Japan.

The Gunma Prefectural Police are also notoriously incompetent and irresponsible.

It is said that there is a senior police officer here who came from a professional group. He seems to be named Yamamura Kao or something. He is only good at taking exams and has no ability to be a criminal police officer. As a negative example of "paper talk", he gradually became famous in the police system.

Therefore, it is easiest to escape sanctions if the crime location is chosen in Gunma County.

"Before I decided to take action, I also checked the local weather conditions for the next ten days."

"If the weather forecast is accurate, there's going to be a burst of rain here tonight."

"In the next ten days, the relative humidity in this mountainous area will be around 60%, and the average temperature will be above 30 degrees."

"this means"

"The footprints I leave on the mountain will be washed away by the heavy rain at night."

"And your corpse will be exposed to the hot and humid wild environment, become highly decomposed and deformed within five days, and be eaten by maggots until it turns into a half-white skeleton within ten days."

"Even if someone finds your body by then, no one will know who you are."

Koshizui Nanatsuki's tone was very calm when he spoke, as if he was stating a simple fact.

Tokijin Junya was immediately frightened and completely lost his blood.

Although the person standing in front of him was just a weak girl.

But since the other party had made such full preparations for this murder plan in advance, how could he not carry a weapon to ensure a "sure kill"?

At the thought, Toki Jin Junzai froze in place with trembling all over, not daring to run away, not daring to resist.

The conceited temperament with eyes above his head was completely gone, leaving only a look of fear.

"no, do not want."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"Please forgive me!"

"Heh." Koshikoshi Nanatsuki's expression remained calm: "Are you willing to admit it now?"

"Sorry, it's too late."

She slowly clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.

The voice and smile of her friend during her lifetime, and her pale face lying in the coffin after her death, came back and forth in Koshimizu Nanatsuki's mind.

Finally, she made up her mind.

She wants to kill someone.

Here, she seeks revenge for her friend who died unjustly.

But at this moment.

"I advise you not to do this."

An unfamiliar female voice slowly sounded next to him.

"who?!"

Nanatsuki, who crossed the river, was shocked.

She looked around suddenly and saw a few strangers sneaking out from behind a few big trees standing beside her.

Yes, there is more than one uninvited guest.

Instead, there were two women and one man, headed by a beautiful lady with beautiful heterochromatic eyes and silver hair in a single ponytail.

Behind her is a blond strong man and a dark-haired beauty.

A whole three people were hiding behind a big tree less than ten meters away from Yueshui——

She actually didn't notice it from beginning to end!

"You, you guys."

Koshizu Nanatsuki was completely confused:

"When did you come?"

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who we are."

Curacao showed a gentle look:

"The important thing is that it's not too late for you to turn back now."

"That's right!"

Before Koshimi Nanatsuki could answer, Ireland continued:

"Miss Yueshui, I advise you not to get the shotgun you hid behind the stone."

"Stop now, you are still just 'preparing for crime'."

"And if you point a gun at Tokizu Junya and we stop you - that would be an attempted murder!"

Ireland paused slightly and then said methodically:

"Article 201 of the Japanese Penal Code stipulates that those who prepare for the crime of murder shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years. However, depending on the circumstances, the penalty may be waived."

"Article 203 of the Criminal Code stipulates that those who commit murder and attempt it shall be punished."

"That is to say:"

"You can stop going to jail now if you stop."

"If you raise the gun, you will definitely go to jail for a few years!"

"This" Koshimi Nanatsuki still hasn't responded.

Miss Yinghai, who was following Curacao and Ireland, was stunned at first:

What did she see?

In the past, Ireland only killed people for the organization.

Now he is actually trying to stop crimes with a righteous look——

He even recited the relevant laws clearly in front of criminals!

"This Noah Organization"

“Are you really here to save lives and fight crime?!”

Our worldview has been refreshed.

And two old colleagues she had met in the criminal organization were still trying to persuade the criminals to turn around:

"Stop it, Miss Yueshui."

"You still have a long life, and it shouldn't be ruined so easily."

Curacao spoke softly and began to attack his heart.

"And it's useless if you don't stop."

"With us here, there's no way you'd have a chance to pick up that gun."

Ireland directly advised Miss Yueshui to recognize the reality.

"."

After a period of silence, Koshimizu Nanatsuki finally woke up from the shock:

"Are you the police?"

"Have you noticed that I have been preparing for revenge these past few months?"

Although in theory there will be no foreigners in the Japanese police force.

But faced with such a bizarre situation, Koshimizu Nanatsuki could only think that the police had checked his water meter in advance.

"We're not the police."

"But you can understand it that way."

Curacao explains succinctly:

"At the end of the day, we're here to stop you from committing a crime."

“So, so good”

Tokijin Junya finally recovered from his fear:

"thanks, thanks!"

"Three police ladies and police gentlemen. You guys really arrived just in time!"

Regardless of whether they were policemen in Curacao or not, he thanked them as policemen in his heart.

In this desperate moment, one step away from death.

These three uninvited guests of unknown origin have simply become the savior angels in Tokijin Junya's mind.

At this moment, he was almost moved to tears.

“How ridiculous”

Looking at his enemy who was happily celebrating his new life, Koshimi Nanatsuki couldn't help but stand there in confusion for a while.

After standing still for a long time, she laughed awkwardly:

"That's why I don't want to be a detective."

"Whether you are a detective or a police officer"

"All we can do is to 'fight crime' as much as possible within the framework of the law."

"But the problem is:"

Koshizu Nanatsuki stared at Tokijin Junya with hatred:

"The law can control me, but it can't control him!"

"This guy wrongfully accused an innocent person of being a murderer and ruined a girl's life and future with just a few words."

"But the law has absolutely nothing to do with him!"

As she said that, she looked helplessly at Curacao and the others:

"You guys arrived just in time."

Junya Tokizu never officially admitted from beginning to end that he slandered her friend as the murderer even though he knew his reasoning was wrong.

In this way, even if the truth of the "Lavender Draft" is exposed, it will be regarded as a mistake in his reasoning at best and cannot be called a crime.

And even if he formally confesses in front of the tape recorder, he can find various reasons to reverse his confession in court.

It's nothing more than spending more on legal fees.

Koshimi Nanatsuki knew that Tokizu Junya would not be punished through legal means, so he thought of using lynching and killing for revenge.

it's good now

Three "policemen" popped out out of nowhere.

These three men indeed rescued her from the abyss of crime.

But they also saved that scumbag Tokijin Junya.

"Thank you so much."

Koshimi Nanatsuki's smile became increasingly bitter.

A tear appeared quietly in his eyes.

This devastated and sad look made the onlooker Yinghai unable to help but be affected by it.

Although she is a CIA investigator, she is also technically a public servant.

But the CIA is not a serious law enforcement agency after all.

Therefore, compared to the police who act according to the law, I still prefer to be a hero who wants to take revenge.

So after understanding the ins and outs of the case, she still instinctively preferred Koshimi Nanatsuki's idea.

Curacao and Ireland, on the other hand.

I saw these two former colleagues reciting the law rigidly like policemen.

My lady’s mood is really complicated:

What does this Noah organization want to do?

"Our goal is to save lives."

Curacao looked seriously and said to Koshimi Nanatsuki:

"But you misunderstood"

"The one we saved this time was not Tokizu Junya."

"It's you, Miss Yueshui."

"I don't need your help!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little annoyed: "So what if you saved me?"

"That scumbag hasn't been punished in any way!"

"No." Curacao shook his head: "He will."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ireland said immediately:

"Article 169 of the Criminal Code stipulates that when a witness under oath of law makes a false statement, he must be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three months but not more than ten years."

"Knowing that his reasoning was wrong, Junya Tokizu still provided wrong testimony to the police and deliberately misled the investigation direction of the case, which ultimately led to the innocent maid lady being unjustly committed suicide."

"The circumstances are so egregious and the consequences are serious."

"Based on the relevant precedents of the Supreme Court in the past twenty years, the court can give him the maximum penalty of ten years in prison!"

"You" Koshimi Nanatsuki choked hard.

Looking at this strange foreigner in front of me who only knows Japanese laws.

She was so angry that her mind was a little confused:

"What's the use of memorizing the law?"

"Does this mean that the law stipulates that this guy will just plead guilty?"

"If he refuses to let go in court, why should the court send him to jail for even one day?!"

Koshizui Nanatsuki simply didn't believe that Junza Tokatsu could be punished using the law.

"No, he will be punished."

Ireland nodded firmly:

"You take care of it."

As soon as he finished speaking, neither Koshizui Nanatsuki nor Tokatsu Junya could react.

Ireland suddenly took out his pistol from his arms.

boom! boom! boom!

Three streaks of fire bloomed in succession.

Wait until the bullets roar out and the smoke clears.

Tokijin Runzai reacted belatedly:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

There was a scream.

It actually doesn't hurt that much at all.

It's just that my scalp feels a little hot and a little chilly.

Then when he touched his head, he realized that three empty paths had been plowed out of his head by bullets.

The blond brawny man actually used pistol bullets——

Give him a haircut!

What kind of terrible marksmanship is this?

Tokijin Junya was so scared that he almost peed.

At this time, Ireland said to him fiercely:

"Stop pretending, asshole."

"With your acting skills, how dare you pretend to be stupid in front of us?"

"Do you know who the three of us have interrogated before?"

Ordinary agents couldn't act in front of them, let alone this second-rate detective who had been frightened by Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"Be honest and surrender to me! Tell the police clearly about all the bastard things you did!"

"otherwise."

Ireland showed the murderous spirit he had developed in the black organization.

Tokijin Junzai immediately suppressed his thoughts of complaining and betraying others.

He was so frightened that he couldn't speak and could only tremble.

"This" Koshimizu Nanatsuki was stunned:

Weren't you still reciting the law just now?

Why is the solution to the problem so crude?

He looks more like a murderer than she does!

"This can be considered torture to extract a confession."

Koshimi Nanatsuki finally reacted:

"Sir, you can scare him into surrendering."

"After he is out of danger, he can retract his confession at any time!"

"Retract the confession?"

Ireland smiled even more horribly:

"Tokijin Junzai, then I have to remind you——"

"We are really not police officers."

"Huh?" Toki Jinrunzai felt even worse.

Sure enough, Ireland smiled evilly and said:

"Detective, I suggest you find some ways to check Interpol's wanted list."

“There’s a codename ‘Ireland’ on it, and that’s me.”

Tokijin Junya: "???"

are you crazy

An internationally wanted criminal came here to enforce the law?

He instinctively didn't believe it.

But the murderous aura in Ireland makes people have to believe:

"Think about it for a while, kid:"

"If you don't want to go to jail and dare to retract your confession in court, then..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck:

"I can only send you to Tokyo Bay."

Tokijin Junya: "."

He touched his head, which had been struck bald by three bullets at close range, and thought about it for a moment.

"I plead guilty"

"I plead guilty!!"

With a plop, Tokijin Junzai knelt on the ground.

The bad guys were finally punished.

Koshimi Nanatsuki stood dumbly for a long time, and finally said from the bottom of his heart:

"Although I don't know who you are, but"

"Thank you."

Good guys are redeemed, too.

Unknowingly, the main hall Yinghai was also very engrossed in watching:

She suddenly discovered that her new job

It seems quite interesting.
