Entering the hotel room, Asumi Rimi played the recording on her phone.

Nishimura's real name listened very carefully, not letting go of any small sound, and even listened to it three times in a row.

"How is it, my senior police officer, have you found anything?" Asumi Rimi put away her phone and mocked coldly.

Nishimura's real name didn't even look at her, as if he didn't hear what she said at all. He looked at someone aside and said, "Koji, is it a ghost?"

"Because it's just a recorded sound, I can't tell." Li Xuehao shook his head. In fact, he was more inclined to think it was the sound made by something under certain conditions rather than a ghost, because if a ghost had stayed in this area, then no matter

No matter what, it will leave evil aura, he discovered it early on.

"If you can hear the real voice, can you tell?" Nishimura's real name heard another meaning in his words and asked immediately.

"Yeah." Li Xuehao nodded.

"Okay, let's wait here until 9 o'clock." Nishimura raised his hand and looked at his watch, "it will be 9 o'clock in ten minutes."

Azumi Rimi stared, but could not express her objection. It was a pity that her sweet date was ruined.

Li Xuehao didn't say anything. In fact, it was not unacceptable for him to accept this situation.

It's just that the atmosphere between the three of them in the room was too weird, and they didn't speak to each other.

Ten minutes passed in silence among several people, and finally, it was almost 9 o'clock.

"Woooo~~oooo~~" As the time reached 9 o'clock on time, a strange and terrifying "crying" suddenly sounded without warning.

Nishimura Mana and Asumi Rimi both trembled. They looked at each other and saw a trace of fear and nervousness in each other's eyes.

Li Xuehao, however, focused his gaze and quickly came to the window. He raised his head and looked somewhere in the building opposite. The whining sound continued.

"Koji, where is the ghost?" Nishimura Makoto came over excitedly, thinking he had discovered something.

"It's not a ghost." Li Xuehao immediately gave up her unrealistic fantasy.

"Not a ghost?" Nishimura's real name was startled. Rimi Asumi, who was following him, was also stunned. It was not a ghost. What made that sound?

"Yeah." Li Xuehao nodded and pointed to a place about 7 stories high in the building opposite. There was a recessed corner there, which seemed to be for the air conditioner. The sound came from there, "I'll go there and have a look."

As he spoke, he jumped out of the window to the horror of the two of them.

"Koji——" Nishimura Mana and Asumi Rimi exclaimed at the same time, and they even reached out to grab him.

However, they made a mistake, and what made them even more unbelievable was that someone who jumped out did not fall down, but flew up like a big bird.

this……

Nishimura Mana and Asumi Rimi were dumbfounded. He, he, he... actually flew up. What kind of joke is this? Although they had known for a long time that someone had some special abilities, they didn't expect that he could actually fly.

Li Xuehao didn't care about the fact that he could "fly" when they saw him. Anyway, he had already demonstrated many special abilities in front of them before, such as being able to see ghosts, and being able to walk through walls, so adding "

"Can fly" would at best appear more magical.

Flying to the recessed corner on the 7th floor, Li Xuehao stood gently on the edge and found that there was an air outlet. The machine inside had been started and the fan blades were constantly rotating.

In the open space in front of the air outlet, there are two magnets with a metal whistle sandwiched between them, only the size of a little finger. The weird and miserable "Woo" sound comes from this metal whistle.

Seeing this, the mystery has been revealed.

But the problem also arises. Although it is not the cry of a "female ghost", it is still man-made.

Because if it was a coincidence that the metal whistle fell here, how could it happen to be caught between two magnets? It was like it was fixed on purpose. This was obviously designed by someone in advance to make this weird "female ghost" cry

The news spread out, and in front of the metal whistle, there was something like a trumpet. The mouth of the trumpet was facing the hotel where Asumi Rimi stayed.

In other words, the person who designed this "female ghost" cry was aiming at the hotel.

Li Xuehao picked up the metal whistle and two magnets. He found that the whistle had signs of being worn. It was probably because of this that it made such a unique sound.

Through the air outlet, he looked inside. It was a room similar to a warehouse. There were a lot of things accumulated in it, such as rice, flour, grain and oil, and some cardboard boxes that seemed to contain something. They were full.

After thinking about it, he had no intention of going in to find out. Since it was not caused by ghosts, he should leave the matter to the police.

Going down from the seventh floor, Li Xuehao returned to Acheng Rimi's room.

The two girls in the room saw him coming in from the window, and their strange eyes wandered over him. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Li Xuehao knew that it was the scene of him flying up that shocked them. He didn't want to explain anything. He raised the thing in his hand and said to Nishimura's real name: "Officer Nishimura, the cry is coming from this device."

Nishimura's real name came back to his senses, and he and Asumi Rimi came to him, looking at the magnet and metal whistle in his hand: "This?" Both of them couldn't believe it, or in other words, this was too different from what they expected.

It’s different. How come there are no ghosts?

"Yes." Li Xuehao responded, and demonstrated it again in person, waving the airflow into the metal whistle, and suddenly, a strange cry of "woo woo" sounded in the room.

Nishimura Mana and Azumi Rimi shuddered again and stared at the metal whistle. The facts were in front of them, and they couldn't help but not believe it.

"Is this deliberately designed by someone?" Nishimura took a look at the metal whistle and magnet device and realized that he was a police officer after all, so he immediately became alert.

"Yes, and he should have come to this hotel." Li Xuehao recounted the scene he just saw, and also shared his guess.

Nishimura's real name nodded, and his expression became solemn: "Actually, we have already investigated before coming here. Someone wanted to buy this hotel some time ago, but the owner did not intend to sell it. I heard that the other party also used some despicable means, but

After the boss called the police, the other party stopped."

"So you suspect that the other party wants to drive away the guests of the hotel in this way, so that the boss has no business to do, and finally has to sell it?" Li Xuehao continued.

"This is very likely." Nishimura nodded, "Anyway, thank you for this matter, Koji, we will investigate in this direction."

"Then there's nothing wrong, I'll go back first." After the matter was resolved, there was no need for Li Xuehao to stay.

"Wait a minute." Nishimura Mana and Asumi Rimi said at the same time.

"Huh?" Li Xuehao looked at the two of them.

Nishimura Mana and Asumi Rimi looked at each other and made some gestures to each other, as if they wanted to encourage the other to speak first.

Li Xuehao saw the "embarrassment" between the two and said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it."

"Ahem!" Nishimura's real name coughed lightly and took over the conversation, "That's right, we are very curious about who you are. Not only can you see ghosts, but you... can also fly?"

I'm afraid the last question is what they really want to know.

Li Xuehao smiled softly: "Actually, that's not really flying. It can only fly short distances. If it takes a long time, you can't do it." Although he didn't mind being known by two people about his "magic", he didn't want to be regarded as "magical".

Come to worship "gods" and try to portray your own "deficiencies".

"Oh." I don't know if the two of them really understood. Nishimura's real name looked at Asumi Rimi, and they seemed to be communicating with their eyes.

Li Xuehao said goodbye again, but this time the two of them did not keep him and let him leave.

After coming out of the hotel, he had a strange intuition. Nishimura Mana and Asumi Rimi seemed to be less hostile to each other. Nishimura Mana, who was supposed to leave with him, actually did not leave, but stayed with Asumi Rimi.

There was no telling what was being whispered in the room.

He shook his head and prepared to go back to the "Kindianichi" B&B. Hiroshi Aoki, who was waiting outside the hotel, came over and said, "Manaka-kun!"

"Hello, Officer Aoki." Li Xuehao greeted politely.

"Officer Nishimura..." Hiroshi Aoki looked inside the hotel, but Nishimura's real name didn't come out, obviously he was a little surprised.

"She is investigating inside and may have to wait until she comes out," Li Xuehao said.

"I see." Aoki Hiroshi nodded. Seeing that he wanted to leave, he asked, "Does Manaka-kun want to go back now?"

"Yes, there is a kendo competition tomorrow. I want to go back and rest early." Li Xuehao said.

"Then I won't bother you." As soon as he heard about the business, Aoki Hiroshi gave up the idea of ​​asking what he wanted to ask.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Li Xuehao vaguely felt that he might want to ask something, but after all, it was the first time they met, and he didn't want to deceive him about Nishimura's real name. In fact, Aoki Hiroshi's mentality was already rare in his opinion.

Well, even though he knew he was his "love rival", he didn't show any hostility at all.

…

After a night's rest, all the students at Sakurano High School were in high spirits. There was a big battle today, and everyone had to maintain a high spirit.

The only one with a more decadent spirit is Fuyuan Junlang.

Li Xuehao knew that he went out alone again last night and came back after 5 o'clock this morning. He looked even more depressed than yesterday.

This guy is really true. He knew it was a national competition, but he still dared to go out and have fun. Even if he wanted to go, he didn't know how to exercise restraint. He was probably in love with Akasaki Kiyora, so it was understandable that he was too excited and couldn't control it.

.

Today Sakurano High School has only one opponent, and that is last year's third place in the country, Terao High School in Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture.

In the past two days, I lived in the same B&B as Terao High School and met several times. We all became familiar with each other.

But it was just a familiar face. Every time the two parties met, although it was not tense or hostile, it was not a friendly atmosphere either.

After breakfast, everything was ready. Led by Fukuoka Toshiro and his eldest wife Kurone, the group came down from upstairs.

Coincidentally, I met someone from Terao High School again, and they were also ready to go.

"Hello, Coach Furumura." Toshiro Fukuoka walked to the kendo coach of Terao High School and bowed.

"Coach Fuyuan, I'm going to ask for your advice today." Coach Furumura also showed a rare smile, but compared with his usual stoic image, he felt it was better not to smile.

"You are too polite. I should be the one learning from you." Fukuoka Junlang said politely.

Coach Furumura seemed very satisfied with his attitude. He talked to him in a senior tone about his experience in the national competition, such as why he shouldn't be so nervous and should relax as usual. He probably saw Fukuoka Toshiro today.

His energy was even worse than yesterday, and he thought he was overly nervous again and had insomnia.
