My tenants are monsters

"Hello? Sister Shuangdao?"

"Is it Xiao Lin? I've heard about Takaichi Shimizu."

Shimoshima Misato straight to the point and straight to the point: "I have already asked Mitsui Juichi and the others from the Arakawa Police Station. According to what they provided, Shimizu Takaichi should not be directly related to the girl's disappearance. The perpetrator is probably someone else. In addition, it cannot be completely ruled out that Momo Yamamoto himself lost contact with the outside world due to some intention...

In short, the truth of the case needs further investigation, but it is not a big problem. If there are any new clues in the future, I will contact you in time. "

"That's it...then thank you Sister Shuangdao."

Bai Shilin listened patiently to the female policeman's words, and then thanked her.

Before she was about to hang up the phone, she asked by the way: "By the way, I don't know where Sister Shuangdao is now?"

"Oh, I'm in Shizuoka Prefecture right now, and I'm assisting the special department here to deal with the spider nest in Joren Waterfall... It may take a day or two before I return to Tokyo..."

VOLUME 275: Chapter [-] The Situation Sudden Change

The situation was similar to what Rin Shiraishi had guessed. The person sent by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to the Izu Peninsula was indeed Misato Shimoshima.

The disappearance of Yamamoto Momo was originally a matter of the Minamisenju Police Station, but after the incident involved Shiraishi's apartment, the situation was another matter.The female policeman probably learned of this situation through the news channels in the police system, so she made this call to communicate with Shiraishi Rin, which is also intentional.

Since the matter was not serious, Shiraishi Lin felt relieved and prepared to go to bed early and go to West Tama County early tomorrow morning according to his original plan.

She even packed all the things she needed to bring to visit her aunt this time.

however……

The next day, when Shiraishi Rin finished her breakfast and was about to pack her schoolbag and set off, Shiroshima Misato suddenly called her again.

"Hello? What's the matter, Sister Shimoshima?"

"A little new situation has appeared..."

Shimoshima Misato took a deep breath, and then explained quickly: "Just after nightfall last night, the Arakawa Police Station received a new call to the police, saying that another person disappeared near Minamisenju, and Yamamoto Momo The murderer of the incident may be the same person, and the time of the incident may also be the same day! This is likely to be a serial murder case, and the murderer has not stopped committing crimes until now!"

"?"

Rin Shiraishi was slightly startled, and took a few seconds to digest what Shimoshima Misato said, and then opened his mouth: "So, Sister Shiroshima, you are calling to say..."

"So, on behalf of the special section, I would like to ask you, if you can use circle light to help the Arakawa police station find the whereabouts of the murderer."

Shiroshima Misato's reply was expected by Shiraishi Rin.

So far, the objects she has searched with round light are almost all ghosts and monsters active in Arakawa District and several nearby districts. The same should be true for serial killers or kidnappers.It's just... this matter is definitely not something that can be done in a short while.

If the truth can be revealed before New Year's Day, it is estimated that the action is already fast.

In other words, if you decide to help...

Shiraishi Rin's trip to West Tama County that was originally scheduled to take place today was basically ruined.

"……never mind."

Shiraishi Rin hesitated for a moment before the two choices, and sighed.

Compared with visiting my aunt, things here are obviously more important.If Momo Yamamoto and the others were just kidnapped and not killed, they should start searching now, maybe they can find their whereabouts and rescue them.

On the contrary, if the best rescue time of these two days is missed, there may be a new batch of victims.

With this in mind, Shiraishi Rin first responded to Shimoshima Misato, then called his aunt, made up an excuse and explained it, promising to leave after the matter here is over. West Tama County.But the time is different. If it goes well, it can be done tomorrow, but if it doesn’t go well, it will have to wait until after New Year’s Day.

Although Ryumi Kawasaki was a little disappointed, she quickly agreed and asked Rin Shiraishi if she needed help.

By the time the call was over, the police car from the Arakawa Police Station had already arrived at the door of Shiraishi's apartment.

This time it was not the two policemen who led the team yesterday.

It was an acquaintance—Shouichi Mitsui who had dealt with Rin Shiraishi several times in the past two months.

Now that the incident has gone from being lost to a series of crimes, it must not be handled by the Minamisenju Police Station. The criminal team of the Arakawa Police Station has already taken over the case immediately.

Ogino Yoshie also heard the movement, and went out to take a look. After Rin Shiraishi explained the matter to the cat's mother, he went out alone with Mitsui Shouichi and got into the police car, and then all the way to the Arakawa police station.On the way, Shiraishi Rin roughly talked about the conditions for using the round light technique.

Compared with looking for ghosts and ghosts such as dog gods, circle light technique is actually more convenient in finding people.

Because the date of birth of human beings is fixed, it is on the resident certificate or other relevant documents, and it is basically true and reliable, unlike many monsters who will disguise their identities.As for the belongings, it is easy to find them from the family members.

So not a while after Shiraishi Rin came to the police station, Mitsui Shouichi's colleagues brought corresponding evidence from the homes of Yamamoto Momo and others.

Next, Rin Shiraishi found a mirror, pinched his handprints, and began to use spells.

The procedure went smoothly.

Can……

When the picture began to be displayed on the mirror, Shiraishi Rin was startled for a moment, then opened his mouth slightly, and his face became a little stunned.

The picture that appeared in the mirror...was pitch black.

This is not the first time she has encountered this situation.

The real first time I encountered it was when I helped the special department investigate the whereabouts of the murderer in the [Arakawa Park Human Skin Tattoo Case], and the picture that appeared in the mirror was the same.At that time, Rin Shiraishi was still a little surprised about the reason for this result, but after several attempts and repeated verifications during this period, she has basically confirmed that there are no more than two possibilities for this pure black picture——

The first is death, and it is the kind where there are no bones left. For ghosts, it is to be beaten to death.

Rin Shiraishi has only encountered one case of this possibility so far, which is considered an isolated case, so the conclusion is not very convincing, it is just a high probability event.

The second is being sealed. She has encountered this situation twice. Basically, the ghost involved in the unsolved case has been subdued by an exorcist in Tokyo. There was no contact, so the special department didn't know about it, so the case has been suspended.

When it comes to humans, these two things need to be changed.

Because under normal circumstances, in homicide cases or even supernatural cases, there will not be such a situation where the soul is scattered. On the contrary, the possibility of human beings being eaten by ghosts is relatively high.For example, the Inugami from before, and the spider spirit who appeared at Jinglian Waterfall a few days ago, all have the habit of eating people.Shiraishi Rin is not sure what the result will be if she goes to investigate the whereabouts of those eaten by them, but according to her estimation, there may be a situation where the mirror surface turns black.

In addition, if the killed person was buried deep in the ground, or poured cement and sank to the bottom of the sea, then there should also be the possibility of this happening.

To determine which is the real situation, the sample size needs to be increased.

"How many missing persons are involved in this case?"

Rin Shiraishi turned to Mitsui Shouichi and asked.

Volume 276: Chapter [-] Clues in the comics

"Three."

Mitsui Shouichi pondered for a while before answering: "Two of them were reported by definite family members, that is, the two cases that police officer Shimoshima told Miss Shiraishi, and the other one was discovered during our investigation. , but it has not been [-]% confirmed yet. For the time being, we can treat them all as a series of serial disappearances."

"Those missing persons are all girls?"

"No, two women and one man, and there is no clear social contact with each other. They should be strangers who have no or very little intersection."

"Eh?"

Bai Shilin was slightly taken aback.

Unexpectedly...isn't it?

This answer was a bit beyond her expectation.

She originally thought that the motive for this disappearance was lust. After all, she had seen that Yamamoto Momo before. In the middle, and then find a chance to faint and take it back, as a possibility of being imprisoned.There have indeed been many such incidents in Japan.

——Of course, the possibility of this cannot be completely ruled out. After all, some people's sexual fetishes are rather strange. There is also the possibility that men and women can take it all, but the probability should not be that great.

"Then... let's try the other two. Have you collected their personal items now?"

Shiraishi Rin asked again.

Of course, these things had been prepared a long time ago, they had already been packed in evidence bags by the police, and they were delivered to the table immediately.

Soon, Shiraishi Rin checked the whereabouts of the other two missing persons.

The result obtained is exactly the same as Yamamoto peach.

This result was actually predictable, because among the few missing persons, Yamamoto Momo disappeared the closest to now. If even her whereabouts cannot be found, let alone the rest of us.And this result can also rule out the possibility of "sunken corpses at the bottom of the sea".

——Unless a certain gangster deliberately seeks revenge, the possibility of several people being sunk in a row is extremely slim.Judging from the investigation results of the Arakawa Police Station, the missing people have almost no intersection in their lives, and normally there is no possibility of offending the gang.

So……

"Sure enough, did you encounter a ghost or an exorcist from the evil sect?"

In this case... how should we continue to investigate?

Shiraishi Rin tapped his fingers on the table, looking at the messy pile of evidence on the table, silently thinking about the next strategy.Mitsui Shouichi and the others next to her didn't speak, as if they were afraid of disturbing her thinking.

Just then.

Shiraishi Rin felt the phone vibrate a few times in her trouser pocket, as if someone was calling her.After hesitating for a while, Rin Shiraishi stood up and said hello to Juichi Mitsui, then went to the side and took out his mobile phone, glanced at the number on it, and frowned slightly: "Hey, is it Sachiko? Why did you suddenly call me?" , is there something wrong?"

This number was handled by Rin Shiraishi when she bought a mobile phone before, and it was given to Sachiko. At first, it was to deal with the Kumamoto incident and ensure that she could get in touch with Sachiko at any time before the incident was resolved.Later, after Kumamoto died, Sachiko wanted to return the things, but Shiraishi declined, so the number remained in the hands of the little girl.

However, Shiraishi Rin was a little puzzled when the little girl called him at this time.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

It seems that the voice of Xixi Suo Suo can be heard.

After a few seconds, I heard Sachiko's voice: "Sister Rin, I'm at your house right now, with Sister Huali... Sister Huali found something unusual and wants to ask me to tell you."

"Ok?"

The clue was... discovered by Asakura Huali?

In Shiraishi Rin's puzzled expression, Xingzi heard the microphone and continued to say: "Sister Huali said that she had read a cartoonist's cartoon on the Internet before, and you know it. Then the cartoonist Recently, I updated another work, the content in it is quite strange, there may be something you need now..."

Probably because she was afraid that Rin Shiraishi had ears on the partition wall, Sachiko's words in the microphone were relatively cryptic.

But Rin Shiraishi understood right away: "Is it Mimiko's updated manga?"

Is it related to the Yamamoto Momo incident?Could it be...

With doubts, Rin Shiraishi opened the mobile browser, and then entered the URL that he had seen before in the search box, and relying on his own impression, he found the homepage of Mimiko Mizunuma's manga, and clicked on the latest one. renew.The moment the black-and-white manga was refreshed on the screen of the mobile phone, Shiraishi Rin's pupils shrank, and a feeling of horror arose in his heart.

"This is……"

The content of this comic is about a serial disappearance case.

In terms of the storyline, it’s actually lackluster. It’s nothing more than a tragic story about a young girl who encounters a ghost on her way home alone, and after being tailed for a while, escapes to no avail and is eaten by the other party—— That's right, it's the kind of "eating" in the literal sense.

The perpetrator who followed her and finally ate her in a deserted alley was a very long centipede.

Although the plot is very simple, even to the point of rudimentary, but because of Mimiko Mizunuma's extremely realistic brushstrokes that make people feel horrified, Shiraishi Rin can basically rely on his own brain power when seeing these pictures , to directly reproduce the content of the story depicted in the picture in my mind, this feeling is a little scary.

——By the way, Mimiko Mizunuma has always been unknown on the manga website, and it is also related to her painting style, that is, the picture is scary, but the content is simple, so it is not interesting for readers who pursue storytelling. It's too scary for readers who are looking for excitement.
