There is little point in continuing to pursue it.

After Mitsui Shouyi roughly explained the situation, he stood up:

"If there are no other questions, then Miss Shiraishi and Mrs. Ogino, you can go home. But please try to keep your phone open in the past few days, and we may contact you again.

If Naoki Nakamura makes any threatening actions towards you in the future, you can also contact me at any time, and we will deal with it as soon as possible. "

"Then I would like to thank Officer Mitsui."

Rin Shiraishi thanked her, then stood up, got into the police car with Ogino Yoshie, and was sent all the way to Minami Senju.

the other side.

Mitsui Shouichi stood at the gate of the police station, watched the police car go away, and then let out a soft breath, then turned around and went upstairs along the steps, returned to a small meeting room on the third floor of the police station, opened the door and entered.

In the small room of [-] to [-] square meters, there were three policemen, sitting scattered on both sides of the long table.

In front of everyone is a newly printed report, which is the result of a busy night of forensic medicine.

Next to it is a small blackboard covered with photos and notes.

"What do you think of this autopsy report?"

Seeing Mitsui Shouichi coming back, an old policeman in his forties spoke first.

Judging from the seat position and the style of the cherry blossom badge on the police uniform, this old policeman is obviously the highest rank among all the people present, reaching the level of "police department".

The other two and Mitsui Shouichi looked at each other, and one of them responded: "According to the results of the on-site investigation, Nakamura's death was indeed accidental, and the only strange-looking scratch was also on the face. It is fatal, and there is no factor that can prove homicide, but...

It's a bit too strange to be stabbed to death by a branch.It's almost like a plot in a movie. "

"Although it is very strange, since it has already happened, there is no need to question it. After all, there are too many murders with twists and turns these days, and any kind of death may appear. Compared with those bizarre deaths in the past, Nakamura's one is considered ordinary. that's it.

I'm just worried about..."

The old policeman crossed his hands: "Minami Senju [-]-chome has had two... no, four incidents in a row in just a week or two. Compared with the previous situation in that area, this is very unusual."

"Four ups?"

"Yes, apart from Mr. Gu Chuan a few days ago and Nakamura last night, there was another incident that happened at the junction of [-]-chome and [-]-chome. A young man who lived alone was found dead in his bedroom for no reason. The cause of death was dehydration all over the body. When he was discovered, he had already turned into a mummy. No trace of a third party was found at the scene...

That kind of death is even more bizarre than that of Nakamura this time.

In addition, colleagues from the traffic section found Yoshiyasu Matsumoto in the surveillance video at the intersection near [-]-chome. disappeared……

It is not yet certain whether his disappearance is related to the existence of the Shiraishi apartment, but the chances of survival are slim. "

"What Mr. Takagi means is that you still suspect that Miss Shiraishi has something wrong?"

The policeman who spoke just now looked up at the old policeman.

Section Chief Takagi shook his head: "That's not true. There are indeed some people who are more likely to be exposed to events involving death than ordinary people, such as the Kudo detective from Mihua Town a few years ago. The situation of that person is comparable to that of Shiraishi Rin. It is much more serious. In just three days, he encountered five murders in a row, and almost wherever he went, he would be killed. At one point, the Metropolitan Police Department listed him as a high-risk person and implemented 24-hour strict surveillance...

It would be too arbitrary to conclude that they are suspected of committing a murder based on this alone.

However, judging from the information we have so far, some changes that we have not seen may have really taken place in the Minamisenju area.

Maybe……

It's because of 'that stuff'. "

Volume 42: Chapter [-] Special Lesson

When they heard "that kind of thing", the expressions of several criminal policemen present changed a little.

As police officers of the Criminal Division, many of them have heard of or looked through the files on "that kind of thing", and even dealt with such incidents with a special department of the Metropolitan Police Department.Although in those few operations, the ordinary policeman of the district police station was only responsible for assisting and did not need to personally participate in them, but in retrospect...

It is by no means a wonderful memory.

Mitsui Shouichi also pondered for a while: "If it's really that kind of thing, I'm afraid the matter is not something we can solve... Section Chief Takagi, do you need to contact the special section immediately?"

Section Chief Takagi nodded slowly: "That's what I thought, but it still needs to be approved and signed by the director. Mitsui, please sort out the investigation records of these two incidents together with the previous two incidents as soon as possible. Report to the director together to decide whether to invite people from the special section to conduct targeted investigations in the Minamisenju [-]-chome area.

If things turn out as we suspect...

Then Nakamura's death may not be an isolated case, and more victims will appear in the future, and there needs to be a response as soon as possible. "

"clear."

Mitsui Shou nodded, and left the meeting room with another old detective, and then got busy again.

……

By the time the police car brought her back to the downstairs of Shiraishi's apartment in Minami-senju, the sky was already bright.

Shiraishi Rin and Ogino Yoshie said goodbye in the corridor, opened the door and returned to Room 101 where they lived.

With the click of the lock on the anti-theft door, the three black, white and orange kittens in the cardboard box meowed.

"Are you hungry again so soon..."

Bai Shilin originally wanted to go back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep, but hearing the more and more urgent yelling of the three kittens, he could only brace himself up, went to the kitchen to rush a bottle of milk powder, and then put the three kittens The cats were held in their hands one by one, and fed one by one with a pacifier.

——This thing was also bought by the way when she bought a cat climbing frame last time.

During this process, Shiraishi was keenly aware that the attitude of the three kittens towards him seemed to be a little different.

In the past few days, apart from the white cat, the black and orange kittens were not friendly to her, and even a little ignorant.Even when they are feeding, sometimes they try to touch them twice, but they will deliberately avoid them.

But now, when these guys saw her performance, they seemed to be seeing a mother cat. They kept meowing and pulling up one by one, licking her palms, which made Shiraishin a little flattered.

If nothing else, this change should be brought about by [Animal Affinity].

Judging from the settlement of these two [Special Missions], the final rewards of such missions will basically include an item or skill related to the mission goal, but it does not have to be directly related, and it can also be reversed. .

For example, Kou Chuan’s quest reward is the dagger that killed him, while Nakamura’s quest reward is an affinity characteristic that is completely opposite to the cat abuser.

This rule may be used in future special tasks.

But now, aside from [Blooded Dagger], [Animal Affinity] doesn't seem to have much effect except for petting cats.

After all, besides black and white tangerines, Shiraishi Rin does not plan to keep any new pets anymore, nor does she plan to become a pet doctor, zoo keeper, or animal trainer in the future.For the following professions, [Animal Compatibility] is the perfect match they dream of.

unless……

Cat demons are also considered "animals". With this passive, can you increase your favorability when feeding Sachiko next time?If so, it would be useful.

Well, you can find a way to do a comparative test to see how much it can be improved.However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test, the interference of other factors has to be considered.

"His..."

While thinking, Bai Shilin suddenly felt a slight dull pain in her fingers, but the bottle was already empty. The little black cat struggled to spit out the head of the bottle, and then lightly bit her fingertips.But because these kittens are still too young, their teeth haven't grown well, so there is nothing unusual except for a little tingling.

"Don't bite, or I will hit you."

"Is biting someone a way to express friendship..."

Shiraishi retracted his fingers, and put the little black cat back into the cardboard box, thinking that he didn't know if there would be bacterial viruses in these kittens, and he still had to ask Sachiko when he could bring three of them. The kitten is vaccinated.In addition, deworming in the body must be done as soon as possible. I heard that this kind of thing is still very important for domestic cats.

Also, teaching the three kittens to urinate and defecate at a fixed point should also be put on the agenda. With the [Animal Friendly] feature, it should be much easier to do these things than ordinary shit shovelers.

While thinking about it, I heard a knock on the door.

Bai Shilin stood up, walked to the entrance, looked out of the cat's eye, and then opened the door: "Xingzi, are you here? Are you here to see Xiaobai and the others?"

"No, I'm here to find you, sister Rin..."

Sachiko Ogino put her hands in front of her body, and lightly tapped her two index fingers together, as if she hesitated to speak.

Bai Shilin didn't care, turned around and let go: "Come in, just close the door."

Sachiko took off her shoes at the entrance, and followed in with only a pair of white socks. She was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Well, Elder Sister Rin, I'm here to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

Under Shiraishi Rin's gaze, Ogino Sachiko struggled a few times, and finally made up her mind and said, "Actually, what happened last night... was done by me."

"Ok?"

Shiraishi had thought in advance that Ogino Sachiko might come to him to explain, but he didn't expect the little girl to admit it so simply. After carefully observing the little girl's expression, she squatted down, faced Sachiko, and looked directly at this The little girl with a nervous face said, "You mean, when I went out last night, the figure that jumped out of the corridor was indeed Sachiko...

And your real body is indeed a little cat demon? "

"Eh? Sister Rin, how do you know this..."

When Shiraishi Rin said the first half of the sentence, Sachiko didn't have much reaction, but when he said the second half, the little girl opened her eyes in surprise and took a step back.

Seeing her panicked appearance, she really looks like a frightened kitten.

"Actually, sister, I also have some special abilities."

VOLUME 43: CHAPTER [-] THE SECRET BETWEEN THE TWO

Rin Shiraishi smiled, and stretched out his hand to touch Sachiko's ear - at this time, Sachiko Ogino was still in human form, so the touch of the ear was no different from that of a human, only a little softer.

"Sachiko, you may not know that my eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see. When I was in a department store last time, I saw you, and there was a pair of fluffy eyes. cat ears."

"!"

Sachiko Ogino opened her eyes wide again in surprise, covered her ears with her hands, but didn't cover them completely, and her mouth faltered a bit.

In this state, the little girl's ears moved dexterously, getting closer to the shape of a cat.

Seeing Sachiko's appearance, Rin Shiraishi couldn't help but laugh.

But she also knew that now was not the time to tease Sachiko, after thinking for a while, she asked a question that she had considered at the police station, "You came here to apologize to me, mother asked you to do it ?"

"No, this matter It has nothing to do with my mother."

Sachiko shook her head and said bluntly.

Shiraishi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Well, it seems that Yoshie Ogino has no intention of a showdown. Admitting that she is a cat demon is just Sachiko's personal behavior. To be precise, Sachiko didn't admit it. The little girl came to her to confess about Nakamura's death. It's not about telling Rin Shiraishi about her identity, let alone about Yoshie Ogino's plan.

After judging this point, Rin Shiraishi temporarily stopped the idea of ​​further asking Yoshie Ogino's true identity.

After all, the relationship between her and Sachiko is not as familiar as Ogino Yoshie and Sachiko. If the topic involves Ogino Yoshie, then Sachiko will most likely tell her mother the question she asked later.But if Rin Shiraishi didn't take the initiative to mention it, but Sachiko said it "unintentionally"...

That's another story.
