My tenants are monsters

This time, the special class headed by Ichiro Nishihei rushed to the scene in person.

Next, it's time for investigation and evidence collection.

In fact, normally speaking, Shiraishi Rin, as a non-staff member of the special class, is an outstanding "folk exorcist" in the districts near Arakawa, and even the entire city of Tokyo. The testimony she provided is already very convincing.But because this matter involved the tenants in Shiraishi's apartment, Shiraishi Rin, as an indirect party, needs to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, after Nishihei Ichiro greeted Shiraishi Rin, he chatted with Ogino Yoshie, the Iwata couple, and Hayami Iris in turn, except for the last zombie lady who made Shiraishi Rin sweat secretly. They are all veteran actors who have been fighting for a long time, and they behaved calmly, completely unable to see that each of them is a ghost.

Of course, the most important piece of testimony came from Misato Shimoshima.

The policewoman initially stayed at Baishi's apartment for the purpose of investigating several cases near the apartment.To this end, she had spent a lot of time in contact with the tenants in the apartment, and more or less found out some information about the identities and personalities of the tenants.

Although later, because he discovered the extraordinary things about Shiraishi Rin, he focused his attention on Shiraishi Rin, but after all, he lived here for several months, living above his head, separated only by a ceiling and a wall The Centipede Tripitaka, I have a superficial understanding.

In Shimoshima Misato's cognition, Ogino Yoshie and Iwata's family are normal ordinary people. Although Mimiko Mizunuma has a weird personality, she is just an ordinary otaku manga artist. They all seem to be out of tune with other people, and there are quite a lot of weirdness in speaking and doing things.

Previously, Shimoshima Misato didn't take these things too seriously. After all, in her opinion, no matter how special Baizu Dazang is, it is impossible to be more special than Shiraishi Rin.

But now, combined with the fact that this guy's body is a centipede monster, the suspicion of Baizu Dazang has been completely confirmed.

"So... how do we find him?"

Nishi Ping Ichiro asked Shiraishi Rin this question.

Honestly...

This thing is actually not easy to do.

Before the arrival of the special class, Rin Shiraishi took Mitsui Toshiichi and others to 303 again, carefully checked the various layouts in the room, and confirmed that Baizu Dazang hardly left any traces of life in the room.

As a long-standing centipede monster, this guy doesn't have any living habits such as losing hair or cutting his nails. He doesn't seem to cook at all, doesn't watch TV, doesn't play with mobile phones, and doesn't even read books... All these habits are taken alone. It may not be a big deal to come up with one, but together, it is incompatible with the human beings living in modern times.If it weren't for the mess in the room, if someone who doesn't know the inside story came over, he might not be able to tell that there was a person living in 303.

That is to say, Baizu Dazang usually lives in seclusion and has no habit of entertaining guests, so few people are aware of these abnormalities.

However, Shiraishi Rin was still a little puzzled.

Could it be that Bai Zu Da Zang really doesn't need to eat?

It's true that spirit-type ghosts don't need to eat, but entity-type monsters have a need to eat. It stands to reason that at least they should have the need to chop meat.

Unless, instead of eating it several times like the spider essence before, it was eaten whole in one go?

Looking back, when the Ogino mother and daughter saw Mozuku Daizo swallowing Matsumoto Yoshiyasu a few months ago, they did see this guy swallowing the whole person without spitting out the bones at all, and the digestion ability was so strong.If there is anything else he can't digest, it's probably only the metal zippers, jewelry, and electronic devices on those people's clothes...

"Wait, clothes?"

Shiraishi Rin suddenly thought of a detail——

Just a few months ago, when she had just traveled to this world, she had received a task of [dragging the sewer].At that time, after the workers opened the partition of the sewer, they found that there were a lot of rotting food residues and shredded clothes inside.

Could it be...

Food scraps can also be explained by food that is not used to humans, and most of the other tenants in the apartment are ghosts, and several of them have no need to eat, and only pretend to buy from outside to pretend to be humans Rice, so food residues are not necessarily related to Bai Zu Da Zang.

But shredded clothes are different.

If it is as Shiraishi guessed, then Bai Zu Da Zang may have been eating people quietly a few months ago, and that mission may be a reminder given by the system!It's just that my understanding of the supernatural level was too scarce at the time, so I didn't find this doubtful point!

"Then recently, because of the shedding of their skins, the demand for food has increased significantly. Simply relying on 'hunting' near the apartment is no longer enough to maintain the needs, so the target is on these people who are relatively close to the apartment... "

With the birth of this idea, the cause and effect of the whole incident became logical.

Next, Rin Shiraishi tried to collect some furniture from the Centurion House, as well as fragments of bottles and jars, and used them as a medium in turn to try to use the round light technique.After trying six or seven times in a row, I finally saw a little picture on the mirror.

Picture quality is blurry.

Volume 284: Chapter [-] Reimbursement of Public Funds

Blur is second, and the more important issue is that the picture shown in the mirror is changing rapidly this time, and the duration is very short. After only seven or eight seconds, the picture in the mirror is covered by white smoke. Shrouded, nothing can be seen.

"This is?"

Ichiro Nishihei looked at Rin Shiraishi suspiciously.

Shiraishi Rin was also looking at the picture in the mirror, and after thinking for a while, he slowly explained:

"...Baizu Dazang should be still moving now, and the demon power on his body is surging, which interferes with the use of the round light technique. In addition, the aura left on these evidences is very weak, so there is no way to accurately detect him. s position."

Compared with the Inugami who were searching before, Hyakuzu Dazou is just starting to escape, so he is probably running with all his strength like a frightened bird at the moment. For the present plan, the only way to wait for him to stop is to use the round light technique to see if he can His position is locked.

As for what to do if Baizu Dazang is caught... Shiraishi Rin hasn't figured it out yet, and he doesn't plan to think about it before he has even written his horoscope. He can only wait for the turning point of the matter to surface before making a decision .

After such a busy work, the time has come to the evening.

sunset.

It wasn't until Kawasaki Ryumi called that Shiraishi Rin remembered that he was going back to West Tama County today, so he quickly connected the phone and explained it in the microphone.

If there is no accident, this trip must be in vain.

Leaving aside the matter of tracking Bai Zu Da Zang, Shiraishi Rin needs to participate in person. Just how to repair the big hole in the wall is a very headache for her.It can only be said that fortunately Bai Zu Da Zang hit the wall where the windows were installed, not the load-bearing wall, so at least there is no need to worry about the wall structure of the entire apartment being damaged.

Otherwise, things may become more troublesome.

However, considering Kawasaki Ryumi's acceptance of supernatural news, Rin Shiraishi did not say the reason too directly. He only said that his apartment showed signs of cracking due to disrepair for a long time, and he needed to find someone to repair it in time. During this period, as the owner of the house, I cannot leave casually.So the original plan to go back to visit before the year was postponed until the next year.

——After the New Year, there are still ten or so days of vacation, and I will definitely be able to take a day or two to go back.

Kawasaki Ryumi was a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything, just reminded her to be careful.

After the phone call, Bai Shilin returned to the room, and before the sun had completely set, he used the round light technique in front of several special police officers.

The picture detected this time has finally changed.

It is no longer a rapidly changing light and shadow, but a turbulent river, and Baizu Dazang himself seems to be resting temporarily by the river.

"This river... is it the Sumida River?"

Rin Shiraishi tried to deflect the screen, but he didn't see any landmark buildings, but if Centipede Dazang is still in Tokyo, then the position he is in now is probably the last time Inugami and Yoshie Ogino fought Sumida River.However, I can’t tell which section of the river it is in, because the Sumida River is still quite long, spreading for thirty or forty miles, running through several districts in the north and west of Tokyo, and finally merging into Tokyo Bay. The last time Shiraishi Rin went It's just a part of it.

Ichiro Nishihei ordered his subordinates to take a few photos, and then compare and screen them on the computer.

However, the results of this screening were very general.

A total of more than 30 suspicious areas have been found, all of which are similar to the results detected by the circular light technique, and it is difficult to determine which one it is.

If you go down one by one, then so many suspicious areas distributed in different river sections are put together, basically it is almost the same as walking along the entire Sumida River.

Therefore, through the Metropolitan Police Department, Ichiro Nishihei applied for secondment of police forces from Arakawa and several nearby district police stations, and began to search these areas.

Although the ordinary police do not have the ability to deal with supernatural events, they have enough manpower. It is not a problem to simply search for clues. After finding the clues, Shiraishi Rin, Nishihei Ichiro and others will rush over immediately.It would save time than they start now and turn around these dozens of suspicious areas one by one.

Before the search results came out, there was nothing wrong with Shiraishi Rin.

So she stepped aside and began to contact workers to repair the outer wall of 303.

In addition, the fallen trees in the grove outside have to be dealt with by forest workers.

As the time is approaching New Year's Day, many workers are already preparing to go home for the New Year, so it is not as convenient as usual to find someone to come to work.Just as Shiraishi was arguing with the person in charge of the decoration company on the phone, Nishihei Ichiro who was next to him came over: "Miss Shiraishi, are you going to repair the outer wall of the third floor?"

"Yes what's the matter……"

"If you don't mind, leave this matter to us to deal with."

Ichiro Nishihei smiled, and then explained a few words.

When the special class usually deals with various supernatural events, it often encounters such things, such as a street light pole being broken, a green belt being burned, or even the road surface cracking, and the wall collapsing... These emergencies are commonplace, Sometimes it even happens in the downtown area, so the special class is already familiar with all kinds of land washing, and has a very close cooperative relationship with the forestry, road conditions and other management departments.

Under Shiraishi Rin's gaze, Nishihei Ichiro made a few phone calls, talked for a while, and then nodded to her:

"Don't worry, they will come over tomorrow morning to check the situation and determine the repair plan."

"Is that so... how to calculate the cost?"

Rin Shiraishi thought of this key question.

Ichiro Nishihei smiled slightly, and said casually: "You don't need to worry about this. You are also a non-staff member of our special class now, and you have helped us deal with so many supernatural events. Of course, this kind of trivial matter can be directly reimbursed."

"……That's good."

Shiraishi Rin originally thought that she might need to use the "salary" of working in special classes to offset the deduction, so she can actually accept it. After all, if she is asked to find a decoration company for repairs, it will cost a lot of money.

But since the head of the special course wiped out the fee so generously, she naturally didn't need to continue to entangle, after all, a blank ticket is always a good thing.

until night.

Searches conducted by the Special Division have not yielded much results.

Instead, Misato Shimoshima rushed over from the Izu Peninsula.

Volume 285: Chapter [-] Conversation with Mimiko

The last time Shiraishi Rin, Nogi Maki and others returned to Tokyo from the Izu Peninsula, it took about two and a half hours, but that was the case of taking a bus.And if you take a private car, you can hurry all the way, and you can shorten the time to about one and a half hours.

Therefore, Misato Shimoshima only set off in the afternoon, but returned to Shiraishi Apartment before eight o'clock in the evening.

The female policeman rushed over in such a hurry, firstly because the matter on the Izu Peninsula was almost dealt with, and secondly because such a big incident happened in the apartment, as a tenant, she was also half of the party involved, and she was always outside Hanging is also not good.And Rin Shiraishi asked her about the spider lair after she came back from Shimoshima Misato, and was told that it had been properly handled.

Originally, as long as no second spider spirit appeared, it would not be difficult for the special class in the Izu area to take care of some aftermath matters.

Therefore, Shiraishi Lin felt relieved and began to concentrate on investigating the matter of Baizu Dazang.

After making full preparations, she used the round light technique for the third time.

But this time the detected picture was a pitch-black scene.However, it is different from the previous detection of Momo Yamamoto and others. The darkness this time is mainly due to the dim light. After all, it is already night. , so naturally only such a result can be obtained.

Rin Shiraishi told Misato Shimoshima and Ichiro Nishihei about this situation.

By the way, Ichiro Nishihei didn't plan to go back to the police station today, but borrowed a room from Rin Shiraishi, and took a few special police officers to settle here temporarily.Firstly, I can look for an opportunity to investigate the clues of 303 again to see if I can find any clues about Baizu Dazang, and secondly, I can also share the security work of Baishi Apartment, after all, such a sensational supernatural event just happened.

Shiraishi Rin could only accept this kindness.

——She couldn't tell the truth that all the remaining tenants in the apartment were not human beings.

The room used for Ichiro Nishihei and others to stay temporarily is in 201 next to Shimoshima Misato, which is the place where Koukawa used to live.

After the death of Mrs. Gu Chuan, Shiraishi Rin sorted out his belongings and handed them over to the Arakawa Police Station, asking the latter to hand them over to Gu Chuan's relatives. However, the remaining beds and furniture were not handled in this way, and they are still kept. If it is generally complete, you can directly live in Paidahui.

The night passed peacefully.

Blink to the second day.

Early this morning, Bai Shilin woke up and finished washing, and was about to make some breakfast to fill his stomach. By the way, he would get a copy for the temporary special police officers upstairs, when he heard a knock on the door outside. As soon as it opened, the figure of Ogino Yoshie appeared in the aisle, with a gentle smile: "Xiao Lin, I have already made breakfast for five people, do you want to help you deliver it to those upstairs?"

"Eh?"
