I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

"Eh? Why?"

"Just look at this and you'll know——"

Serabel took out her phone and waved it in front of her.

"Did you see that the local meteorological station in Izu has just issued a heavy rain warning? If we go back now, it should be too late, but if we go to the night market... By the time we finish eating, our whole bodies will probably be dry except for the neck. "

Japan's night market food stalls are said to be covered, but they are actually not much different from open-air ones.

Just like those ramen carts on the roadside, it just has a roof extending about one meter from above, and then hangs a few curtains down.

That thing is fine for shading the sun, and it's fine for creating a private atmosphere on a psychological level, but when it comes to protecting against heavy rain, forget it.

Oyster, oyster, Dahme fell to death (waving hands).

"That's right. If it's going to rain heavily, there's nothing we can do." Suzuki Tomoko took out her phone and looked at the weather forecast and said, "Although it's a bit of a pity, Izu is not far from Tokyo. Thinking about it in the future, there will be many opportunities, and we are here today. I didn’t bring an umbrella when I came out, so it wouldn’t be worth it if I got wet on the road and caught a cold when I went back.”

"we can only do this……"

Since my mother has spoken, Yuanzi can only agree.

But it just so happens that if I go back now, I can almost make it in time for dinner at the hotel, so I still have something to eat.

So everyone turned back and started walking back little by little.

At this moment, Serabel suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by in front of him, and before he could see it clearly, he disappeared into the alley on the left.

that seems to be...

"What's wrong?"

Tomoko Suzuki noticed something strange about him and asked aloud.

Serabel shook her head and didn't say anything. She just took out a pair of special black gloves from the left and right pockets of her pants and put them on.

"Not sure, just keep walking, I'll go take a look around."

"it is good."

Not intending to ask what exactly happened, Suzuki Tomoko chose to trust without hesitation. While letting Serabel leave the team alone, she gave a silent look to Xiaolan and Sonoko beside her, and continued to move forward pretending that nothing happened. Go.

On the other side, Serabel, who ducked into the alley, found his target in less than 20 seconds.

——Tao Xie Masahiko.

He was still wearing the same khaki short-sleeved shirt he had worn when we first met him in the morning. His originally meticulously combed back hair became a little messy under the influence of the afternoon heat, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from his forehead.

Especially the sneaky and hunched posture of walking through uninhabited alleys, and the small movements of his right hand from time to time to touch the dagger-shaped bulge hidden under the hem of his shirt on his lower back.

No need to think, it’s him.

The distance between the two sides was exactly one building. Without hesitation, Serabel used her excellent physical ability to quietly take off in two steps, jump off the wall, and jump up to the iron fence walkway outside the second-floor building. She ran through it and jumped down. , the movements are smooth like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

Dao Xie Masahiko, who was so focused that he thought he was in a perfect stealth state, only heard two sounds from the iron frame above his head. Before he could even raise his head to see what was going on, he felt a strong arm clamping around his neck. At the same time, the other hand grabbed his wrist, scissored it, and held it behind his back.

Even the dagger he subconsciously pulled out was knocked out by a powerful kick and flew to the side, landing with a clang.

The next moment, Serabel's emotionless voice sounded from behind.

"You were the murderer in the woods near the fireworks display last night, right?"

"What are you doing... uh, this voice... why is it you? And what are you doing? Let me go quickly. Can you have something to say..."

Even though he was caught in the act, Dao Xie Masahiko still planned to pretend that he didn't know anything, forcing a harmless smile on his face that was still decent for the time being.

But this smile was soon completely distorted by the sudden severe pain.

rattling.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Dao Xie Masahiko's eyes suddenly widened, his two eyebrows stood up ferociously and twisted together, his body trembled violently, and his mouth desperately wanted to open up and shout out.

"Ohh Ohh ohh--!"

His mouth was tightly covered by a big hand wearing a tactical glove, and all the pain seemed to be on a valve, making him unable to even scream freely.

Serabel let go of the former's completely twisted thumb, placed it on the still intact index finger, and sighed lightly.

"I'm not a policeman, and I don't have that much patience, so I suggest you answer honestly. It's going to rain soon."

"Or you can choose to refuse to answer, then I will kill you right here."

"So, if you want to die, just say it. Do you understand?"?

Chapter 191 Killing someone?Do you think I care?

The so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart. It can be said that the fingers are the parts of the body that people use most in daily life, and they are also very fragile parts.

Once three or more fingers, including the thumb, are severed, the hand is almost considered useless.

So after having two index fingers broken off in succession and being pressed against the wall by Serabel with one foot on his neck, Dao Xie Masahiko was finally willing to cooperate.

"I, I said! What do you want to ask...I, I, I said..."

His upper and lower teeth kept fighting in his mouth, and he could hardly speak coherently under the severe pain.

Serabel lazily riddled and asked straightforwardly.

"First question, was the murderer I saw near the fireworks display last night you?"

"W-what? Murderer? What on earth are you talking about? Yesterday I..."

Dao Xie Masahiko stumbled and started talking again, but after hearing this teasing, he seemed to still want to absolve himself.

Serabel didn't want to continue listening. She exerted a little force on her fingertips and made another crisp sound. At the same time, she didn't forget to cover her mouth firmly again.

As expected, the next second Daoxie Masahiko's body trembled violently and twitched again, and an inhuman roar burst out from his lips and teeth that were forcibly sealed.

"Woooooooooo! You are... lynching! I want to call the police! Let you... be punished by law!!!"

Rattling, rattling.

The sweet crisp sounds came one after another, and Serabel did not even intend to say a word, and without mercy, she twisted off the remaining two fingers of Dao Xie Masahiko's right hand.

It was very funny. He was obviously sneaking around in a nearby alley with a knife, but he was actually caught trying to act stupid.

Do you have a look that looks easy to deceive?

Glancing at Dao Xie Masahiko, who was spasming all over, rolling his eyes and almost frothing at the mouth, Serabel said the cruelest words without any psychological burden while changing her mouth shape.

"Next, switch to your left hand."

"Don't... please, don't..."

Dao Xie Masahiko was really convinced this time, and every word in his words revealed the embarrassment of a bereaved dog.

"I really say, it was me, it was me who did it..."

"reason?"

"Because the ex-girlfriend who dumped me had brown hair..."

"Is this the same reason for targeting Sonoko?"

"Yes……"

At this point, Serabel was a little shocked.

He originally thought this guy was some kind of perverted murderer who specifically targeted young women, but he didn't expect the reason to be so simple.

What to say.

Just... Although this guy's target selection logic gives people a "woc psychopath" feeling, his own reason for killing is already mentally retarded. When the two are combined, it gives people a seemingly reasonable feeling.

To put it simply, nothing surprising is done by a psychopath.

Serabel suddenly remembered the news she read last night.

"The murder case that happened at this time last year..."

"It's me, it's me too, the deceased is my ex-girlfriend."

There was no need to wait for the questions to be asked, Dao Xie Masahiko took the initiative to tell them all.

Now he doesn't care at all that his crime will be discovered. The only thing he wants is to let the police catch him.

At least no one in the police station would break a prisoner's fingers at every turn.

"So you admit all your crimes?"

"Yes, yes, I admit it!"

"Um……"

Serabel pondered.

He was actually just thinking about whether there were any more questions worth asking, so as not to be troublesome if he looked back and found that there were still things he hadn't asked.

However, these brief and sporadic seconds were interpreted by Taoist Masahiko as hesitation.

He actually tried to negotiate terms with Serabel.

"Well...as long as you let me go, I promise that I won't trouble you again...and I won't report you to the police!"

what?

Serabel was stunned by this guy's speech.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you promise not to cause trouble to them?Why don't you report yourself to the police?

Do dead people speak so forcefully these days?

"Oh, you misunderstood. I just thought about it and thought about anything else I wanted to ask, but now it seems that there should be none... Then, farewell."

Every word that Serabel said clearly reached the ears of Tao Xie Masahiko. He noticed that the sole of the shoe on his neck was getting harder and harder, and the fear of death instantly enveloped him.

He actually cried loudly.

"Stop! You are killing someone intentionally! This is a crime..."

"Do you think I care?"

Before he could say the word, Serabel stepped hard, and with the clear sound of his cervical vertebra being broken, Tao Xie Masahiko's voice suddenly stopped, the look in his eyes disappeared instantly, and his head hung weakly to the side.

"What are you shouting for..."

After muttering softly, Serabel let go of her foot.

The corpse lost its only support and fell to the side. The arm was thrown to the ground with inertia and stretched out. The fingertips facing forward less than ten centimeters were exactly where the dagger was kicked away not long ago.

The layout of this scene, no matter how you look at it, looks like a gangster who tried to take out a knife to commit murder in an alley, but unexpectedly encountered a tough opponent, and ended up being killed instead of doing anything.

As for the police... those guys have been looking for a common murderer for a whole year without getting any clues, so how can they catch him?

After scratching her head and wandering in a circle, Serabel turned her head to look at the dark corner deeper in the alley, covered her mouth and yawned.

"Hey, I've been watching for so long, it's almost time to come out."

……

On the other side, Suzuki Tomoko and others continued walking for a while after temporarily separating from Serabel.

In order to wait for Serabel, Yuanzi deliberately slowed down his pace.

Seeing that almost two or three minutes had passed, Serabel hadn't come back, and the dark clouds on the horizon in the distance seemed to be approaching, and she couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"Mo~ Where did Sera-kun go? Why is everyone gone?"

"Maybe you have something to deal with temporarily?"

Xiaolan actually didn't know what happened, so she just guessed casually.

Conan pursed his lips.

He probably knew what Serabel had done, but even if he said it now, it would be meaningless.

Tomoko Suzuki looked up at the sky and said to the three minors.

"It looks like it's going to rain soon. Yuanzi, you can just take a taxi back. Do you have any money?"

"Yes, but yes..."

Sonoko nodded. As one of the richest young ladies in Japan, she was never short of money.

"But mom, are you going anywhere alone in this weather?"
