After he finished washing up, he checked the missed calls on his phone.

He saw Shiraki Saya's name in the missed calls, so he took the initiative to call back.

"Miss Saya, what's wrong?"

"Kuragi-kun, a new psychopathic killer has appeared in Tokyo. We received a report early this morning that a female corpse appeared in Hushan Park. The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. She is a student of Hemu High School."

"I'll be there right away."

"Remember to have breakfast first."

Saya Shiraki reminded, probably because she was afraid that Shirakawa would not be able to eat after seeing the corpse.

Shirakawa did not act pretentiously, and directly took out bread and milk from the refrigerator to make do with a meal.

Ever since he had a half-sister, Yuko Kuraki, his refrigerator has never lacked breakfast and ingredients. Every once in a while, Teacher Yuko would replenish it for him.

If he didn't already have a girlfriend, he might really be moved by Teacher Yuko.

Shirakawa put on his coat, quickly left the apartment, and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Psychopathic killer? Why did he appear at this time? I hope he doesn't arouse the suspicion of Officer Maori.

I really have nothing to do with this killer.

However, does this mean that I can meet Tsuboi Ikki in advance?

Today's update is over, everyone go to bed early, good night, see you tomorrow!

The 2nd Smiling Face Murder Case (3K per update, please subscribe)

Shirakawa rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible.

Maori Shuichi saw that his eyes were obviously complicated, as if confirming Shirakawa's guess.

"I just said two days ago that if a psychopathic killer appears, you can go through a special process to meet Tsuboi Ikki. It's not long before this kind of murder case occurs, Kuraki-kun, this is really a coincidence."

Although this sentence was said in the tone of an onmyoji, coupled with Maori Shuichi's unusually serious expression, it made the surrounding police officers suspicious.

"Kuraki-kun, this is still a student of your school. Are you the legendary high school student of the god of death? Wherever you go, the murder will happen there?"

A young police officer looked at Shirakawa curiously.

Shizuka Nakayama immediately defended his idol's image and said, "What does this have to do with Kuraki-kun? If he was just an ordinary person, no one would notice him even if a murder happened around him. It is precisely because Kuraki-kun is excellent and has participated in solving the case every time that everyone has the illusion that wherever he is, there is a murder."

Many police officers felt that what Shizuka Nakayama said made sense.

Shirakawa ignored their ridicule and walked towards the morgue while asking about the deceased.

"The deceased's name is Takezawa Riho. From the student ID found in the backpack, we know that she and you are both students of Hemu High School."

"Takezawa Riho?"

Shirakawa listened to this familiar name.

The head of the broadcasting department, Takezawa Riho, who has a refreshing short hair, delicate eyebrows, plump lips, and a tall figure!

Shirakawa recalled the scene when he first met her yesterday. At that time, the girl confidently introduced herself and generously gave them the broadcasting studio.

Her voice is very nice, like a clear spring in summer, and she often appears in the campus broadcast in the morning and afternoon.

When Shirakawa saw the girl again in the morgue, her fair and pretty face had turned blue-black.

The left and right corners of her mouth were bent upward at 45 degrees, and her lipstick was smeared beyond the edge of her mouth, like a smiling clown.

She lay quietly on the workbench of the old forensic doctor Mr. Nozawa Ryosuke, who told Shirakawa,

"The time of death was 0:00 this morning, and the cause of death was rupture of the carotid artery, excessive blood loss and brain shock. She was not violated before death, and there were no other fatal injuries on her body. Her ankle was fractured, and there was undigested food in her stomach. The details need to be tested again."

Shirakawa made a preliminary guess through the description of the forensic doctor.

The deceased died in the early morning, perhaps around 10 o'clock, while eating a midnight snack.

She was probably asked out for a midnight snack and then killed.

"When she was found, she knelt on the ground with her hands clasped together, as if she was praying in a church, and there was a wooden cross tied to her back."

Shiraki Saya showed Shirakawa the photos taken as soon as the body was found, and attached a simple description.

"Kuragi-kun, are you familiar with this girl?"

Mouri Shuichi asked.

Shirakawa shook his head, "I just met her yesterday. She gave me the impression of a confident, cheerful and helpful girl."

The cross behind the girl in the photo reminded Shirakawa of Fujino Heiji, the psychopath who worshipped Tsuboi Ikki and whose heart was finally replaced by Takeshima Mie.

When he killed Ezaki Yuki, he cut a cross-shaped wound on her chest, which seemed to be a kind of belief.

I hope I'm overthinking it.

Shirakawa was really scared. It was Tsuboi Ikki in prison who couldn't wait to see him, so he guided his believers to commit crimes outside.

Mouri Shuichi considered that the two were in the same college. If they were too familiar, it would affect Shirakawa's judgment of the case, so he asked this question. After getting a negative answer, he continued to discuss with the forensic doctor.

Taking advantage of the moment when others were talking about the case, Shirakawa conducted an appraisal of the deceased.

[Character: Takezawa Riho]

[Intelligence: 6]

[Charm: 8]

[Physical Strength: 4]

[Detailed information:

18 years old, from Tokyo, a third-year student in Class A of Hemu High School. She comes from a wealthy family. Her father, Takezawa Yoshimitsu, is the founder of Takezawa Foreign Trade Company and a well-known wealthy businessman in Tokyo. Her mother died early. She is the only daughter in the family and is the beloved daughter of Takezawa Yoshimitsu.

She has excellent academic performance and has always been in the top ten of her grade. She is generous and has a good personality, but she is a bit like a goody-goody.

She likes voice actor teacher Hideko Umezawa the most and hopes to become an excellent voice actor. Therefore, she has long served as the director of the broadcasting department of Hemu High School. The broadcasting equipment of the broadcasting department was funded and purchased by her father, and she cherishes it very much.

She suffers from mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and has to clean the broadcasting equipment at least three times a day, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable all over.

Her boyfriend Yanagisawa Hiroshi is also a student of Hemu High School. The two met in swimming class. At that time, she almost had an accident because of cramps in her feet underwater. She was rescued by Yanagisawa Hiroshi, who is good at swimming. Therefore, they fell in love at first sight and soon established a romantic relationship.

A month ago, Yanagisawa Hiroshi proposed to take a leave of absence because of his father's serious illness.

Because of her wealthy family, she often generously treated her classmates in the broadcasting department to meals and organized team-building activities, which were all paid for by her, but she was envied because of this.

She once received a threatening letter from the broadcasting department member Kitano Maaya in her shoe cabinet, and also received love letters from her classmates Morishita Ryoichi and Ozeki Yuta. 】

[Evaluation: A poor girl who has not had time to realize her dream, but you are not innocent. 】

Shirakawa frowned slightly. What does not innocent mean?

The girl's life seems very ordinary, and she has no grudges with others. At most, she is envied because of her generous personality and wealthy family.

Or is there some hidden information in it that I didn't see.

Shirakawa rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly smelled the aroma of coffee.

Shiraki Saya had already made a cup of coffee and handed it to Shirakawa.

Shirakawa took the disposable paper cup, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Kuraki-kun."

Shiraki Saya smiled.

Shizuka Nakayama suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He only remembered to take a small notebook to record, but forgot to make coffee for Kuraki.

After Maori Shuichi finished discussing with the forensic doctor, he led everyone out of the morgue.

"The murderer did not leave fingerprints or any clues. If he is not an experienced veteran, it must be a premeditated murder that has been planned for a long time."

Shizuka Nakayama analyzed seriously.

Maori Shuichi nodded, "Mr. Nakayama, the last call of the deceased was to a man named Yanagisawa Koichi. You go and bring this person here."

"Got it! Senior."

Shizuka Nakayama saluted, said goodbye to Shirakawa, and left the Metropolitan Police Department with two police officers.

At 8:30 in the morning, the family of the deceased, Takezawa Yoshimitsu, rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.

This is a middle-aged man with thick black hair, wearing a brand-name suit and a meticulously tied bow tie, but his face is full of wrinkles, and he looks much older than his actual age.

When passing by Shirakawa, Shirakawa keenly smelled the residual perfume of a woman on him.

There was a trace of red on the collar of his shirt.

Shirakawa guessed that it must be a mark left by a lady.

It seems that this successful businessman who has been single for a long time was probably having a party with female friends when his daughter went out last night. After receiving the news this morning, he rushed to the scene without even changing his spare clothes.

Takezawa Yoshimitsu looked at his daughter's cold body in disbelief.

After experiencing emotions such as denial, doubt, affirmation, sadness, and pain, only anger remained.

He cried and roared,

"Who is it? Who did it! I must find you out and let you endure the most cruel torture in the world! I will kill you! I will kill you!"

Although Takezawa Yoshimitsu was a little out of control and said some crazy words, almost everyone present could understand him.

A father who just lost his daughter, no matter what he said, it was not enough to show that he had a problem.

On the contrary, this is the behavior of a normal person.

"Mr. Takezawa, please don't get excited. Please hand it over to our Metropolitan Police Department. We will catch the criminal and bring him to justice."

Shiraki Saya comforted.

Yoshimitsu Takezawa wiped his tears and sobbed, "Riho is an angel. Who is so cruel to treat her like this?"

"Mr. Takezawa, do you have any enemies? Or have you offended anyone?"

Mouri Shuichi asked.

Yoshimitsu Takezawa seemed to be lost in thought. After about a minute, he shook his head,

"I have offended many people. How can you not offend people in business, especially competitors, but they will not hurt my family."

"Has Riho Takezawa mentioned anything special to you recently? For example, she was followed or had a bad relationship with her classmates?"

Saya Shiraki asked.

Yoshimitsu Takezawa hugged his head with both hands and said painfully,

"I am usually very busy with work, and I have enrolled Riho in many cram schools. In the past month, I have rarely had time to communicate with Riho. It was my negligence, my negligence."

After that, Saya Shiraki took Yoshimitsu Takezawa, who was gradually recovering, to take a statement.

Shirakawa waited for Shizuji Nakayama to come back in Shuichi Maori's office.

He sent a message to Yano Shinmi on Line.

As a friend of the deceased, Yano Shinmi should know Takezawa Riho very well and might be able to supplement the results that the identification technique did not identify.

Yano Shinmi replied to the message almost immediately.

[Riho-chan has been behaving normally recently. Except for the fact that she gave you the key when she borrowed our studio yesterday, there is nothing wrong with her.]

[Huh? No, I remember that she told me two days ago that her father opposed her dating Yanagisawa-kun. She cried very sadly, but she is very filial and seems to have really decided to break up with Yanagisawa-kun.]

[She is usually a very enthusiastic person. Yanagisawa-kun must like her willingness to help others. Poor Yanagisawa-kun must be sad. I heard that his father is still lying in the hospital. What a pitiful person.]

[Shirakawa-chan, why did you suddenly ask Riho-chan? Did you want to thank her for borrowing our studio yesterday?]

Yano Kokomi obviously didn't know that Takezawa Riho had been killed. In order to prevent Yano Kokomi from rashly intervening in the case with other detective agency friends to find out the truth for her friend and getting into danger, Shirakawa chose to hide it from her.

[Yes, we should think about it carefully. ]

After receiving this message, Yano Komi replied with a thinking field mouse emoticon.

Shirakawa typed another line of text.

[Are you familiar with Kitano Maaya from the announcement department?]

Yano Komi replied [No, but Ryota should be familiar with her, Ryota and her are both in Class A.]

Shirakawa ended the chat with Yano Komi, clicked on Shima Ryota's avatar, and sent a message to ask about Kitano Maaya, a member of the announcement department.
