Scum Coercion

"I'm afraid not, because that person is wearing a mask. But because she has a ponytail, I think it's a girl."

Hearing my assertion, Shion stroked her chin with her hand.

"A mask? It seems that the other party is very vigilant."

"What caught my attention the most was that when she rushed towards me, she kept saying things like 'killing a couple'."

"what?"

Zi Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.

Then her hand slapped excitedly on her thigh.

"Okay, then I can think of the murderer's motive."

"Uh... what is it?"

"Because all the victims were lovers, and the murderer was talking about killing the lovers when he acted, so the purpose of her crime must be to vent her jealousy towards the lovers."

"Yes."

I also clapped my hands excitedly, feeling that I was Sherlock Holmes reincarnated, and I came to a conclusion so quickly.

And Zi Yuan immediately showed a heavy expression on his face.

"It looks like we're going to arrest the criminals right away. If the news spreads that there is a lunatic who attacked a couple in the village and is still at large, it will deal a major blow to the village's tourism industry."

"It is said that the criminal is going to be arrested, but all we know is that the murderer is a single woman, and we don't know more, and I think this is too extreme, purely because of jealousy that others have a love object. Murder or something..."

Hearing my muttering, Shion suddenly let out a cry of enlightenment.

"I know, it's a wraith!"

"What, what wraith?"

I blinked blankly, while Ziyuan entered the reasoning mode on her own, I saw her sometimes looking at the table top, sometimes looking at the ceiling, and from time to time she made a cute "um, um" sound from her mouth.

At last she stood up from her chair.

She turned her gaze to Xiaomei first.

"Mei, you know that, right? Evil spirits will sneak in when people are weak."

"Ah."

Xiaomei nodded calmly.

"Then, a single woman in the village fell into great loss and low self-esteem because she couldn't find a partner, which happened to give some ghosts wandering around the village a chance to possess her. In principle, it's like..."

Ziyuan didn't speak any more, but turned her gaze to Jasmine who was sitting aloof and enjoying herself.

I get it right away.

Wraith possession and succubus parasitism may be similar things in essence.It's just that compared to the weak wraith wandering in the wild, the succubus soul with the medium of the cross is more powerful and difficult to get rid of.

"That is to say, someone in the village has been parasitized by a resentful spirit."

"Well, think about it quickly. Recently, there are some people in the village who have such obvious characteristics, that is, they are single and not in a good relationship, and they seem to be looking forward to a relationship."

"I did think of someone."

Xiaomei, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke.

"who is it?"

Ziyuan questioned her with great interest.

"you."

Xiaomei, who was holding the bear, narrowed her eyes and pointed at Ziyuan.

But my childhood sweetheart quickly blushed and became furious without mercy.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Don't get excited, what Ziyuan said is only one possibility..."

Fortunately, I caught Ziyuan from behind, otherwise it would lead to another tragedy of internal strife.

In short, I yelled "Stop!!" in the outpatient room that turned into our temporary combat conference room to make everyone quiet and listen to me, and then I put on a leadership look and raised my hands high.

"Listen to me, everyone, since we have identified quite a few characteristics of the murderer, it is imperative to find her out and maintain the peace of the village."

"Well, but how are we going to find her?"

"Heh heh heh, this is not difficult, because according to my knowledge, the unmarried local young women in the village who are not married, and those who have a difficult relationship, are the most suspicious—"

My fingers stretched straight towards a certain void.

As if thinking of the same place as me, Ziyuan and Xiaomei opened their mouths at the same time as me, and the names they said were——

"Oleander."

·······

"Oleander, Oleander, are you home? Open the door!"

Next, we agreed on a plan, and we split up and did our own things with each other.
