My tenants are monsters

The cat abuser died at the hands of wild cats, I think... maybe this is karma. "

Shiraishi Rin's tone was understated.

But when the policemen heard it, their colors changed slightly.

karma.

This religious term sounds a bit mysterious, but it is the best explanation for the scene in front of you.It is an indescribable irony that the cat abuser finally died at the hands of the wild cats he had ravaged.

However, before the specific test is made, it is impossible for the police to fully believe the explanation given by Rin Shiraishi.

Especially since there were not many cameras in this block, and in the dark environment in the middle of the night, it was difficult to confirm the truth of the matter in a short time.

"I'm sorry, please Miss Baishi to go back to the police station with us and write down the situation you just said in words. After our personnel inspect the scene and confirm that Nakamura's death has nothing to do with you, we will send You sent it back."

Mitsui Shouichi coughed, and said to Shiraishi Rin: "In addition, this matter involves a life, we may need to contact your guardian, can you tell me his phone number?"

"My guardian is not in Tokyo."

When he said this, Shiraishi Rin recalled his former aunt in West Tama County.

In fact, she didn't want to bother that aunt. After all, this incident was an accident, and she didn't kill the person. It's a bit too much to ask the other party to take a few days off to go to Tokyo for nothing.In the memories left by her predecessor, that aunt was very kind to her, almost treating her as her own. When her predecessor came to Arakawa District to find a school, she was also busy.

Ogino Yoshie next to him seemed to see Shiraishi Rin's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just tell me, Officer Mitsui.

As long as what Miss Lin said is true, then this matter has nothing to do with her, and there is no need to contact her guardian.And if there are indeed suspicions, it is not too late to make further plans.Anyway, Miss Rin's guardian isn't here now, is she? "

"OK then."

Anyway, Shiraishi Rin is considered a minor now.

And the chance of innocence is relatively high, Mitsui Shouichi didn't make it too hard for her, first took someone to follow Shiraishi Rin, went back to the apartment to look at the smashed glass and Molotov cocktails, collected evidence, and then took her and Ogino Yoshie Back to the Arakawa police station.

During this process, Ogino Sachiko reached out and grabbed the corner of Shiraishi Rin's clothes, as if she was struggling to say something.

"Don't worry, Sachiko."

Bai Shilin rubbed the little girl's head, and said softly: "Aunt Ogino and I just went out to help the police uncles, and we will be back soon, just wait at home with peace of mind."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Yuta Iwata next to her again: "Mr. Iwata, while Mrs. Ogino and I are out, I will trouble you to take care of the apartment. If there is anything wrong, you can call me Telephone."

"it is good."

Iwata Yuta nodded.

Sachiko Ogino also pursed her lips, and regained her composure under the comfort of her mother's eyes.

The police car quickly drove out from [-]-chome and headed towards the police station.

Volume 40: Chapter [-] is so sad

The area of ​​Arakawa District is not too large, and its shape is long and narrow. Most of the main places are concentrated in the south.

The location of the Arakawa police station is next to the city hall, only three or four miles away from Minami Senju.

After arriving at the police station, Shiraishi followed a policewoman to make a statement, Yoshie Ogino added a few words beside her, and the two of them were taken to a lounge. The policewoman handed them two cups of hot water and waited. .

During this process, Shiraishi Rin did not speak, but silently calculated in his heart.

Her current thoughts are actually not on Nakamura, but on the pair of cat ears she saw on Ogino Sachiko's head before.

Sachiko...

Is it really a cat demon?

Could it be that the [Cat Demon Bloodline] that appeared when the system mall was refreshed for the first time was hinting at Sachiko's identity?Is this little girl the [Cat You] in Japanese legend?

This guess subverted Shiraishi Rin's cognition a bit.

But once this is the premise, the slightly weird details before are easy to explain——

Because she is a cat demon, Sachiko especially likes to eat cat food;

And the meow that the department store scares away the spider came from Sachiko's mouth;

As for why Sachiko seemed so terrified every time he saw Nakamura...it was probably because Nakamura had too many dead cats entangled in him, which to some extent had a deterrent effect on cats like a natural enemy.Just like the butcher's knife in the hands of a butcher makes ghosts fear;

Also because she is a cat demon, Sachiko was able to act together with those stray cats, as if they were connected with each other, and launched revenge against Nakamura tonight.

Then the problem comes...

As a mother, Yoshie Ogino, could she also be a cat demon?

When he was in the woods before, Shiraishi Rin did see a little black and gray arrogance from Ogino Yoshie and Iwata Sadako.

But it was really just "a little bit", and there was already a lot of yin energy gathered in the grove, so she was a little uncertain whether those qi flames emanated from their bodies or were simply "yin qi" at the scene of the incident. " Attached to the body.

And as far as Shiraishi Rin is on the way to and from the police station, using [Yin Tong] to see the picture, this black-gray Yin Qi is actually everywhere, like a basic ingredient mixed in the air, Only the concentrations in different regions are different.

There seem to be many near the grove and Shiraishi apartment, but there are relatively few near the Arakawa police station.

Therefore, for the time being, we can only say that there is a high probability that this single mother is a cat demon.

Theoretically, as long as one of Ogino and his wife is a cat demon, the child born will have the blood of a cat demon, which is the so-called "half demon".

Although Rin Shiraishi has never seen this kind of existence with her own eyes, it is not uncommon in those anime works of her previous life.And as an ordinary human being, having lived with monsters for a long time, it is reasonable to be contaminated with some of the latter's monster power.

Knowing that Sachiko's identity is a cat demon, and looking at what the girl said before, "Dad has passed away", etc., it seems not so innocent.

"What's the matter, Miss Rin, is there something you want to tell me?"

Yoshie Ogino noticed Rin Shiraishi's gaze and turned to look over.

"...No, I just suddenly felt that we were a little unlucky, that we would encounter such things twice in a row in just one week."

Shiraishi Rin also smiled, and suppressed the thoughts that came up just now.

Regardless of whether Ogino Yoshie is a human being or something, as Sachiko's mother, she must know her daughter's identity.There must be a corresponding reason for deliberately concealing it. It is obviously not appropriate to directly pick it out when the relationship between the two parties is not yet familiar to that extent.

In particular, Ogino's mother and daughter are still the closest household to her in the apartment building, and they are also the tenants who are most likely to serve as a breakthrough point for her to further understand the real situation of the world.

Shiraishi Rin didn't want to give the mother and daughter the idea of ​​moving away to avoid disaster because of her reckless behavior.

"It's a bit unlucky, but as long as you have to be patient, it should be until tomorrow at most, and we can go back."

Ogino Yoshie didn't know the ever-changing thoughts in Shiraishi Rin's mind, but smiled and said softly: "If Miss Rin feels sleepy, you can lie down on the table and sleep for a while, and I will wake you up when someone comes over."

Shiraishi Rin is indeed a little sleepy now.

But now, obviously, is not the time to sleep.

Because there was already a heavy voice outside the lounge, as if someone was yelling something at the top of their lungs, and soon there was another sound of pushing and shoving. break in.

It's Naoki Nakamura.

Now Naoki Nakamura looks a little drunk, it seems that he just drank a few hours ago, but when he saw Rin Shiraishi, his face showed an angry look: "It was you...you killed me Son! You murderer!"

"..."

Rin Shiraishi looked at Naoki Naoki Nakamura's angry face expressionlessly, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Nakamura, don't you understand that the murderer who killed Nao Nakamura and your son was actually yourself Ah. If you don't understand this by now...

It's so sad. "

When he said the last sentence, Rin Shiraishi sighed, and looked at Naoki Nakamura with a hint of pity in his eyes.

When this change in eyes was caught by Naoki Nakamura, the man showed an even more angry look on his face, as if he had been insulted, and then he was dragged out by the two policemen who followed him.

"Sorry, Miss Shiraishi, and Mrs. Ogino, for surprising you."

One of the officers stayed and apologized.

Bai Shilin took the opportunity to speak: "Compared to that...Mr. Police Officer, I want to know more, has the investigation result come out now, and how long will we stay here?"

"Preliminary results have come out. The direct cause of death of the deceased is indeed an accident, but in order to obtain more accurate information, we still need to conduct further autopsy tests on the corpse...Please rest assured, Miss Baishi, we will restore the truth as soon as possible, and give Your fair judgment."

After a few words of persuasion from the policeman, he slowly backed away.

Shiraishi Rin sat back at the table, thoughtful.

She had also seen the scene of Nakamura's death, and her preliminary judgment was similar to what the policeman said just now, but after thinking about it carefully, there were actually quite a few suspicious points.

Only Sachiko and the wild cats, can they really do this?

Volume 41: Chapter [-] What do you think?

The answer is probably no—

If Nakamura only has the spirit bodies of those wild cats, then as long as Sachiko and the cats have the courage to kill Nakamura, or indirectly create an "accidental death", it is not difficult, but Nao Nao's spirit body is different, Shiraishi Rin himself has faced the latter in person and knows the pressure of the opponent.

So, if Sachiko had a helper, who would it be?

Yoshie Ogino?Or another tenant in the apartment, such as...

Toshio Iwata?

"This time the Iwata couple did not bring Toshio Iwata with them when they appeared, perhaps to cover up the latter's participation in this operation. In addition, one or both of the Iwata couple may have also participated in this operation, otherwise Toshio Iwata himself , shouldn’t be able to do it so neatly without leaving any traces..."

As for Ogino Yoshie...

Shiraishi Rin instinctively felt that it should not be.

Even if the latter is really a cat demon, otherwise, compared with the gentle behavior of this single mother, the contrast is a bit too big.If the acting skills are really strong enough to this level, then I'm afraid it's not just a pure performance, but close to the essence.

These doubts can only be explored after returning to the apartment building.

Next, Rin Shiraishi and Yoshie Ogino sat in the lounge for a while.

During the period, the female police officer who was in charge of taking notes just now came over to refill them with a cup of hot water.

Fortunately, it is summer now, and the temperature at night is about [-] degrees, so I don't feel cold.

But Rin Shiraishi really felt a little sleepy.

The time of Nakamura's death was around midnight, and now it's already the early hours of the night.

In addition, using the ability of [Yin Tong] also requires a certain amount of energy and stamina.

So after chatting with this single mother who was suspected of being a cat demon, Shiraishi Rin fell asleep on the table for a while.When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, and Mitsui Shouichi opened the door again and appeared in this room.

"...The autopsy has been done. According to the results of the examination and other circumstances at the scene, we have confirmed that Nakamura died because he was stuck in his throat by a tree branch, and it has nothing to do with you, Miss Shiraishi Rin.

The glass broken by Nakamura in Shiraishi's apartment in the past few days will be compensated by his father Naoki Nakamura. You can also file further lawsuits against him depending on the situation, but I personally recommend private mediation.

After all, you are still neighbors in the neighborhood, and you have not caused any casualties. Even if you really sue, Naoki Nakamura just failed to fulfill his duty as a guardian and cannot be punished too severely..."
