Aoba Tong stared at the table without saying a word. After a while, she said, "Officer Wuyuan agreed with our approach, doesn't it mean that you...have doubts?"

Aoba Hitomi was right.

Misaki Kirihara picked up the mineral water on the table a little irritably, just unscrewed the bottle cap, and put it down irritably.

——Yeah, if she hadn't been suspicious, she wouldn't have agreed to this.

Kanno Ken's next actions are very important.

Whether it's to pretend to be calm and patiently accept a placement that is too long to be wrong, or... to respond "normally" after a short wait - it matters.

Kirihara Misaki thought so, and sat down on the chair a little tired.

The case of beheading is no longer a case that can be dealt with in a search class. No matter from which angle you start to investigate, it makes people feel powerless.

As if there was nothing to say, Misaki Kirihara pondered for a moment and asked, "What if... we agree to hand over one or two death row prisoners? I mean... the kind that will be executed soon."

Aoba Hitomi raised her hand and touched the bluetooth earphone hanging on her ear, then sat down beside Kirihara Misaki.

"It's useless."

Kirihara Misaki was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Aoba Hitomi: "Huh?" - She didn't understand.

Aoba Hitomi listened to Fernando's voice in the earphone and sighed: "The murderer's tactics must have been upgraded. Officer Kirihara can check the recent missing persons. Among them, there must be victims who can be dealt with together."

"Without new cases, why can you be sure that the murderer has escalated?"

"Because of time." Aoba Hitomi narrowed her eyes, trying to see Misaki Kirihara's expression: "It has been several days since the last case, the case of 'Sachiko' can directly reflect the murderer's way of committing the crime. More detailed refinement. He knows we can't dig him out of the crowd with common sense, so he won't stop. We've lost him..."

"Remember that in the first meeting, Fair..." Aoba Hitomi paused in the middle of her words, and changed her mind: "Is that the post we showed you? It's about the 'Eye of Truth'."

Kirihara Misaki nodded, pursed his lips and frowned.

- To be honest, it's a bit over the top.

"That post is probably sent by the murderer. I remember that several young people died in Sendai City during the slashing case. If they have the same characteristics... they all lost their eyes. Officer Kirihara, you must have seen those The corpses, the corpses were beautifully placed, and even looked very peaceful. The murderer thought he was standing on a high place overlooking all living beings, and took from them what he thought was most valuable in a gesture of pity..."

"In fact, the only connection between those cases is the eyes. If it was done by different people..." Aoba Tong said, pulling the corners of her mouth and trying to smile: "That's a good thing, the most terrifying one. The assumption is...they did come from different people - but they were accomplices. Maybe the killer's modus operandi escalates to the end and we're just going to find a bunch of dead bodies without glasses, or...even dead bodies Nothing, just eyes."

Misaki Kirihara felt a chill when he heard the words - a gang?Only eyes left?

"Then how to find it?" Kirihara Misaki asked subconsciously.

Soon he leaned back in the chair and sighed again - there is no way to know if there is a body, if there is no body... it would be countless disappearances.

"That's why... we have lost the murderer..."

Aoba Hitomi sighed - in this case, she was just a small translator, and incidentally, she was a microphone for Fernando.

From the point of view of ordinary citizens, she could not imagine that she was in an extremely dangerous city - if Fernando's speculation is correct, then... there will be countless missing persons born, and they...

Simply distinguishing between the real missing and the victims of the case can be exhausting.

Aoba Hitomi hopes Fernando is wrong, preferably terribly wrong.

Misaki Kirihara looked up at her, and saw the powerlessness and regret in Aoba Hitomi's eyes through the heavy lenses, she opened her mouth: "If you start..."

Kirihara Misaki stopped halfway through her words.

There is no "if".

No matter how desperate the situation is, in a normal world one shouldn't use death row prisoners for experiments, even if... that death row prisoner should have been executed today - it's hard for them to move, but that's all.

and so!

whoever it is!

If there is really a force that ordinary people can't understand, then come to a person who is equal to the murderous gesture! - At least this way, the slaughter will stop.

Kirihara Misaki thought so, and couldn't help but feel annoyed at her hopeless hope.

Getting up from the chair, Misaki Kirihara said dryly, "I'll look for the missing case file that was reported recently."

Before Aoba Tong could respond, she lifted her foot and left.

In fact, Misaki Kirihara still has many questions. One of the questions that I want to sit down and discuss the most is... How did Hitomi Aoba and the people behind her come to these conclusions?And...are they really believable?

But the priority is still to find the missing.

——One thing she absolutely agrees with is that the murderer will not stop, and will even speed up the pace.

Without a new murder, there is only one possibility.

- They failed to find the victim.

At the same time / a hotel in Sendai

Fernando took off his headphones, yawned, and decided to go out for a while.

Although things at work seem to be hitting a bottleneck, life still has to go on happily - Fernando is an hedonist and will never embarrass himself in anything.

Kanno Ken's words...

Assuming he's calm enough, I'm afraid imprisonment doesn't mean anything to him either.

The point is!

Whether Kanno Ken is on the murderer's side or not, he is definitely not acting alone - maybe Kanno Ken will calm down and give a completely normal response, but his companions may not be able to remain steady even when Kanno Ken loses contact. Forward.
