Good guy, forget it, he can't afford to mess with such a terrible creature as the "Holy Maiden" warrior.

"What are you doing! Come in quickly, the scene has been cleaned up!"

Hearing the shouting inside, Hayama Hayato and Hikigaya Hachiman looked at each other, and immediately walked towards the inside of the building.

The chairman's room on the top floor of the Kurosaki Chamber of Commerce Building, Hayama Hayato felt a bit of a bit of chill as soon as he stepped into this room.

He looked around and saw two ice sculptures of men standing in the center of the room. One of the men had joy on his face, and the other had horror on his face.

At the same time, in a corner of the room, a broom-headed man in denim was leaning against the wall with his head lowered and his forehead resting on his index finger. One leg was slightly bent off the ground, and he was standing on one foot in a strange POS pose. Out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Hayama Hayato found that Hoshino Chiyo and Hikigaya Hachiman who entered the room turned a blind eye, as if this man did not exist.

So he also acted as if he didn't see the strange broom-headed man.

"Hayama, Hikigaya, you two come over to see if your ability is similar to that of the stand-in messenger you met last time." Hoshino Chiyo, who was standing next to the ice sculpture, greeted.

After the two of them observed closely for a while, Hikigu Hachiman said a little uncertainly: "It is true that freezing is used as a means of attack, but isn't the stand-in messenger already imprisoned in the Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Not only was he imprisoned, but he became a vegetable. The support department still can't explain why." Chiyo Hoshino added angrily.

"Could it be a substitute with similar abilities?" Hayama Hayato asked.

"Indeed, the abilities of the stand-in messenger are all kinds of strange, and it is normal for two stand-ins with similar abilities to appear. But there is a high probability that the same stand-in did this case." Chiyo Hoshino said with certainty.

"Why?" Hayama Hayato asked curiously.

"Ahem!" Chiyo Hoshino raised his head slightly, then puffed out his chest, and said with a look of being a good teacher: "Generally speaking, the impact of substitute ability is divided into the indirect impact of its own ability and the direct impact of external ability."

"To give a simple example, there are also two stand-ins that use freezing as a means. One of them can create ice blocks out of thin air to attack or freeze the target directly with a strange ability. Such abilities usually cancel the ability of the stand-in messenger or leave the range. Then it gradually fails.”

"And the other is like this case, even after the stand-in messenger leaves, it still has influence."

"According to the report written by Hikigaya before, the ability of that killer Yoshino's stand-in, Kirito Xueya, is to use the stand-in as an extremely cold ice fog to indirectly make the surrounding environment cold, and then use freezing attacks. The ice sculptures have been preserved until now."

"Hayama, how likely do you think it is that two stand-in messengers with similar abilities and types will appear in Chiba City at the same time and commit crimes one after another?" Hoshino Chiyo asked Hayama Hayato.

"It should be very low." Hayama Hayato thought for a while and replied.

"No need, I'm sure it was done by the same stand-in! I guarantee it with my personality!" Hoshino Chiyo waved her hand and said proudly.

"Oh——! Captain, you are amazing!"

Hayato Hayama clapped his hands very well, and Hikiya Hachiman immediately applauded along with him when he saw this.

"Hahaha, no need to applaud." Hoshino Chiyo patted Hayama Hayato on the shoulder and said, "As a newcomer stand-in messenger, there are still many things you don't understand, and I will teach you slowly in the future."

"Okay captain, I really only know a little about stand-in messengers, and I need more advice from the captain in the future." Hayama Hayato said honestly.

"Don't worry, I've always been generous to our third team." Hoshino Chiyo patted his swollen chest and laughed.

"Hey! Did you forget something?"

A voice full of resentment suddenly came from a corner of the room.

"Who?!" Very upset that the harmonious atmosphere of the team just created was destroyed, Hoshino Chiyo turned his head to look, and then showed a disgusted expression: "Tsk, it's Kimura, why are you here?"

"What do you mean I'm here! Isn't the captain in front of you let me watch the crime scene?" The broomhead youth shouted after hearing Hoshino Chiyo's words and took off on one foot.

"Okay, okay, let's take it as it is." Hoshino Chiyo waved his hands, and introduced to Hayama Hayato nonchalantly: "This is also Kimura, a member of our third team."

"Obviously there is such a thing! Forget it, I have a lot of handsome guys, and I don't care about you with the captain." The broomhead youth straightened his clothes, lifted the broomhead, and then walked in front of Hayama Hayato, raised his head and nostrils to the sky and said:

"I am the deputy captain of the third team of the Special Affairs Bureau's Senshou Branch, Kimura Takuya, who is known as the Prince of Fire, you can call me Kimura-senior from now on."

"Our third team does not have the position of vice captain." Hoshino Chiyo interjected from the side.

"Captain——! Why do you always tear me down! I'm the oldest member of the third team. Isn't it worthy of being the vice-captain? How will newcomers think of me after you say this! I'm a senior, a senior!" Broom The young man jumped angrily and shouted.

"Our third team doesn't engage in such messy things as seniors and juniors. Hayama, you don't have to care about what Kimura said. Everyone is an equal partner in the team." Hoshino Chiyo said to Hayama Hayato.

"Why is this—a newcomer finally arrived." The broom-headed youth murmured with his head down like a wilted eggplant.

"Good captain, and hello Kimura-senpai." Hayama Hayato said hello to Kimura Takuya very politely.

"Senior Kimura?" Hearing Hayama Hayato's greeting, Kimura Takuya, who had been sluggish, immediately cheered up. He came to Hayama Hayato's side in the blink of an eye, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Hahaha, you are very good, not as rude as that guy with dead fish eyes all day long, I will cover you in the Secret Affairs Bureau from now on! If someone bullies you, just report my name!"

"Okay, okay, don't waste time, let's go back to the case." Chiyo Hoshino interrupted Takuya Kimura's speech, and said seriously.

At this time, Hikigu Hachiman, who had been silent by the side, said, "Is it possible that the person I saw in the studio with Hayama was not the real substitute messenger?"

"You mean the real stand-in messenger has been hiding nearby, and the one we caught back was a scapegoat?" Hoshino Chiyo said quickly, eyes lit up.

"Yes, let's not forget that Kimura, who was guarding the killer Yoshino at that time, was stunned by a strange stand-in messenger." Hikigu Hachiman reminded.

"That's right, the real stand-in messenger was hiding nearby at that time. The reason why he took the risk to stun Kimura was to make the killer Yoshino shut up completely and destroy the evidence!" Hoshino Chiyo concluded.

"What stun, I was attacked, a shameless sneak attack!" Kimura Takuya shouted from the side.

After listening to everyone's inferences, Hayama Hayato slightly raised his hand in front of everyone and said:

"Um... you said, could it be a double who can take over the ability of someone else's double, and committed this crime after stealing the ability of the killer Yoshino?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Hoshino Chiyo said categorically after hearing the words: "Even if the double's ability is so exaggerated and outrageous, there will be no such cheating doubles that directly snatch other people's doubles for use."

"I mean maybe..." Hayama Hayato said cautiously.

"No possibility! If there is such a BUG-level double, then I will never get married for the rest of my life!" Chiyo Hoshino said without hesitation.

19 Lock the target

Facing Hoshino Chiyo who had spent so much money, Hayama Hayato immediately shut up honestly.

Hoshino Chiyo glanced at Hayato Hayama who was convinced by him with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and said, "Since we have determined who the murderer is, then we only need to find the real body of the stand-in messenger."

"Oh? Captain, you already have a clue?" Hikigu Hachiman asked in surprise.

"It's not sure yet." Hoshino Chiyo shook his head, and continued: "There are only two clues about this strange substitute messenger."

"One is to hire or pretend to be the killer Yoshino to attack Hiki Valley in order to find the existence of the remains."

Speaking of this, Hoshino Chiyo subconsciously glanced at Hikigaya Hachiman, only to see Hikigaya Hachiman bowed his head and remained silent at this moment.

"The other is the attack and killing of Kurosaki Haruo, the president of the Kurosaki Chamber of Commerce, and his son Kurosaki Shio."

"In the case of the former, the Support Section has not found any usable information."

"As for the latter, the Kurosaki Chamber of Commerce is currently developing stably. Its chairman, Haruo Kurosaki, has a good reputation among the upper circles in Chiba. For the time being, there is no obvious enemy who wants to put them to death."

"Since there is no murderer who has a motive for killing in the long run, it is very likely that Harasaki Kurosaki did something recently, or Shio Kurosaki did something." Hikiya Hachiman added analysis.

"I think so too." Hoshino Chiyo nodded in agreement.

"The time of the incident, that is, last night, what did Kurosaki Harafu and his son do, is there any news?" Hikigaya Hachiman asked.

"That's why I called Hayama here." Chiyo Hoshino raised eyebrows at Hayato Hayama.

"Me?" Hayama Hayato pointed to himself suspiciously and said, "Is there something about me?"

Chiyo Hoshino waved his hand and explained: "According to the clues from the investigation by the Support Section, the father and son of the Kurosaki family went to the banquet held by the Yukinoshita family last night, and there seemed to be some disputes during the period."

"Every time these annoying chaebols encounter these things, they always say half and hide half. When they contacted the Yukinoshita family, they got a reply that someone broke into the banquet to trouble the Kurosaki family, but they said they didn't know about the specifics."

"Because of time constraints, I could only call Ye Shan who was at the scene to try to find out the specific situation at that time."

"So that's how it is." Hayama Hayato suddenly said: "If this is the case, I really know something."

"Oh?" Chiyo Hoshino's eyes lit up, and he chuckled lightly, "Then I really hit the ground running."

Hayama Hayato breathed a sigh of relief, and then told what he had learned from his father about Kurosaki Shio, Takemura, and Imoto in detail.

"Bastard, they died well!" Takuya Kimura said, patting his thigh.

Hoshino Chiyo frowned, and said, "Although Takemura and Imoto did have a motive to kill, there is a high probability that they are not the murderers who did these things. After all, if they were stand-in messengers, they wouldn't be bullied so badly."

Hikiguya Hachiman and Hayama Hayato nodded in agreement, but Kimura Takuya suddenly said loudly: "I know! The murderer must have seen this at the banquet and felt uncomfortable, so he acted as a messenger of justice , shot and killed Kurosaki and his son."

After hearing what Kimura Takuya said, Hoshino Chiyo and Hikigaya Hachiman immediately stared at him like looking at an idiot.

"Hey, hello! What kind of eyes are you looking at? Am I saying something unreasonable?" Kimura Takuya exclaimed very unhappily.

"Of course it doesn't make sense!" Hoshino Chiyo gave Kimura Takuya a blank look, and then said, "Do you think that the person who will surround innocent students with double abilities to threaten Hikigu is the so-called messenger of justice?"

Takuya Kimura thought for a while, and said with a hammer: "That's really not true! Who is the murderer?"

Chiyo Hoshino frowned, and said, "There are only so many known clues at the moment, and it is still impossible to confirm who is the real murderer. We can only continue to investigate."

"Takemura and Imoto can ask the people from the support department to investigate to see if they can find some other clues. As for us, first check the Kurosaki Chamber of Commerce building and the nearby monitors to see if we can find any suspicious persons."

"Ah~~ I need to watch the surveillance video again!" Kimura Takuya let out a scream.

Hoshino Chiyo looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with the same bitter face and the rather curious Hayayama Hayato, she said helplessly: "No way, there is not enough evidence, we can only use the method of casting a wide net to find a breakthrough, at least today we still have There is one more Ye Shan to help."

"Yes yes yes, who made us partners of justice, heroes of the people, wage earners of the Special Affairs Bureau." Takuya Kimura weakly echoed.

"Stop rambling, do things earlier and close the case sooner." Chiyo Hoshino patted Takuya Kimura and said.

When the group went to the monitoring room of the Kurosaki Chamber of Commerce, Hoshino Chiyo, who deliberately lagged a few steps behind, asked Hayama Hayato: "How is it? Do you think the things that the third team is doing are a bit boring."

Hayama Hayato thought for a while after hearing the words, then shook his head and said: "No, but it feels like a criminal investigation to solve a case."

"In fact, the third team spends most of their time looking for the body of the stand-in messenger. After all, as long as the real body is locked, according to modern science and technology, we don't need to do it ourselves in many cases."

At this time, Hoshino Chiyo cutely gestured with his hands to look like a pistol, and slammed forward a few times.

Hayama Hayato nodded deeply when he saw this: "Indeed, it is really important to hide your identity."

……

Two hours later, the team of the third team rubbed their eyes and walked out of the monitoring room.

"Not only the monitoring of the Kurosaki Chamber of Commerce, but also the monitoring of the nearby intersections, but still no suspicious person was found!" Kimura Takuya said very unhappy.

"It's really weird that the murderer can bypass all the surveillance and guards and go directly to the top floor of the chamber of commerce building." Hikigu Hachiman also wondered at the same time.

Just when Chiyo Hoshino, who was also rubbing his red eyes, was thinking about how to find clues next, the phone rang suddenly. Chiyo Hoshino turned on the phone and looked at the information on it for a while, then said in a strange tone: "Maybe it was really guessed by Kimura. correct."

"What did I guess right?" Kimura Takuya asked curiously.

Hoshino Chiyo showed the three of them the information sent by the support department to her mobile phone.

"Imoto committed suicide. Takemura disappeared after sending Imoto to cremation. More importantly..." Hoshino Chiyo swiped across the phone screen to display the content on the next page.

"When the support department went to Imoto's house to investigate, the nearby residents reported that in the morning, some of them saw the old house of Imoto's house was frozen."

"Ice?" Hikigu Hachiman's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it seems that that strange stand-in messenger really has a lot to do with Takemura, and maybe he really wants to help Takemura get revenge." Hoshino Chiyo said a little surprised.

"Hahaha, as expected, I am the smartest person in the third team!" Kimura Takuya laughed.

"Okay, don't be too happy, now we must find Zhucun first to lock the identity of that strange messenger." Hoshino Chiyo waved his hand and ordered:

"The support department has already dispatched all its strength to find Takemura's whereabouts. Our third team is now on standby and ready to go at any time."

Chapter 20 Tracking

"The monitoring of all traffic arteries in Chiba City has been fully taken over."

"All information about Kenta Takemura's appearance has been sent to the city's traffic department and related companies."

"Other members of the Kurosaki family and everyone involved in bullying Kenta Takemura have been placed under police surveillance."

……

Under the leadership of Hoshino Chiyo, Hayama Hayato and his team went to the Information Department of the Support Division located on the fourth basement floor of the Special Affairs Bureau. They saw that the hall with various display screens and electronic equipment was very busy at this time.

"Kamori, is there any news?" Hoshino Chiyo greeted Hiroto Kamori who was standing on a podium.

"It's Captain Hoshino." Kamori Hiroto shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "There is no news yet, but the siege net has been set up. As long as Takemura Kenta has not escaped from Chiba City, he will be found by us sooner or later." trace."

"Okay, then I will leave these to you. Our third team is on standby here, ready to go at any time." Hoshino Chiyo replied.

"Okay, you guys take a rest here now, I believe the support department will come up with the results soon." Hiroto Kamoru smiled, and led the third team to the rest table at the side of the hall and sat down.

"Kamori, go get busy, we'll just wait here." Chiyo Hoshino said to Hiroto Kamori.

"Okay." Kamori Hiroto nodded to Hayama Hayato and the others, and then turned and left after recruiting the members of the support department to prepare drinks and snacks for the third team.

"The entire Secret Affairs Bureau is more reliable than Kashou." Hoshino Chiyo said while drinking a drink.

"That's true." Kimura Takuya agreed deeply, and then immediately shouted: "No, I'm also very reliable!"
