Shiho, who had made up his mind, was walking towards the door of the hotel alone.
At this time, there were a lot of people entering and leaving the hotel. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shiho considered just blending into the crowd and leaving the hotel.
After calming down his mind and pretending that nothing had happened, Shiho slowly walked towards the hotel door——
As long as you leave here, there is still a chance...
only……
Thinking like this, Shiho knew very well in his heart that this accidental exposure would never end so easily, but now that it was over, he could only resolve the current crisis first...
However, before Shiho could walk out of the hotel door, a feeling suddenly surrounded Shiho.
Suddenly, Shiho's face turned pale, his eyes stared, and he stood there blankly, and his body began to shiver involuntarily——
Such a breath!
Shiho held his hands in front of him in fear, his body crouched and trembling uncontrollably——
It’s unmistakable! It’s the breath of organization!
But why is it so fast!
Shiho, who was shrouded in this aura, was horrified beyond measure, and her sensitive intuition was feeling the aura slowly spreading towards her from the direction of the hotel door——
No! There’s no way to escape!
The desperate Shiho had only one thought in her mind. At the same time, she mustered up her last courage, turned around and ran back to the hotel...
In this regard, Xiao Gaoyuan, who had been quietly following Shibao and feeling a little worried, was also very surprised when he saw Shibao's sudden abnormal behavior——
That sudden reaction...could it be that she felt something?
Reminiscent of the situation in the original work, because of her background in the organization, she was still very afraid of the organization after escaping from the organization. She was extremely sensitive to the organization's aura and could keenly sense the existence of the organization.
So, she can already feel the organizational atmosphere here!
But why is it so fast!
Obviously, not long has passed since she was photographed, right?
Thinking like this, Xiao Gaoyuan turned around and chased in the direction of Shiho, thinking about various possibilities in his mind——
Is it possible that there are members of the organization who happen to be nearby? So they were able to get here in such a short time?
Damn it! In this case, we can only find another way to take her away from here!
Thinking about it, Xiao Gaoyuan suddenly realized that he could not keep up with Zhibo now. After a while, he completely lost her trace, and she did not return to the guest room...
I used the guest room phone to call Shiho's cell phone, but got a power-off notification.
For a moment, Xiao Gaoyuan couldn't help being stunned——
Is it possible? She thought...
Damn it! Why is it that at this time, even I have become smaller? There is no way to make this state end quickly! In this state, even if you want to do something, it is too difficult...
…
On the live stage, the curtain has fallen.
On the inside of the curtain, like a puppet with its strings broken, Shou Hualian's body was lying on the ground in a strange posture.
Around the body, the police who had arrived were busy, and no one except the relevant staff could approach.
Hualian's mother, Meiling, was slumped next to the body, sobbing.
"Hua Lian, who killed you? Tell me! I will avenge you!"
Misuzu glared fiercely at Kagami and Sumika who were standing next to the stage, still wearing their performance attire.
It seemed that the two of them couldn't stand being stared at like this, so they turned away.
"I can't forgive! I will never forgive you! I know that one of you is the murderer of Hua Lian! You must not want Hua Lian to win, so you just kill her, right? Hurry up and confess!"
Meiling glared fiercely and walked towards the two of them.
But Miwako Sato still clamped her arms from behind and tried her best to stop her movement.
"Ms. Shou, I understand how you feel. But please leave the task of finding the murderer to us!"
Miwako Sato couldn't help but say.
"Mom, calm down!"
Hualian's sister Meimei also cried and stopped her mother from doing stupid things.
"How can I calm down! Let me take revenge! Meimei, come and help me too!"
Hysterical, although Misuzu was held back by Sato Miwako, she still kept trying to rush towards Kyomi and the others, roaring angrily.
Seeing this, both Jingmei and Sumika couldn't help but retreat in fear, but in the end they couldn't leave the scene that was now controlled by the police.
Looking at her mother who became crazy with hatred due to excessive grief, Meimei became even more sad and collapsed on the ground.
"Sato, who are they?"
At this time, Officer Megure noticed the chaos here and couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Ah, Officer Megure."
When Sato Miwako saw Officer Megure approaching, she couldn't help but feel relieved and replied:
"They are the victim's mother and sister."
"That's right..."
In response, Officer Memu looked at the two unconscious people sympathetically and couldn't help but say:
"Ma'am, I sympathize with you very much, but it's our job to arrest the criminal."
"No! I don't want it! I want to avenge my daughter with my own hands!"
At this moment, Misuzu was even more frantically trying to get rid of Sato Miwako's hand. With this momentum, she seemed to want to die together with the two people in front of her.
"There's really no way... Sato, please take her to the hotel's infirmary to rest for a while."
Officer Memu frowned and said with a headache.
"I see."
Miwako Sato nodded and dragged Mizuzu, who was still crying, to the bottom of the stage.
"Miss, are you okay?"
After seeing the emotional Meiling being pulled away, Officer Megure began to question Meimei, who was crying on the stage.
"Um……"
Meimei nodded as she cried, held out Officer Memu's hand, and stood up reluctantly.
"Police officer, I brought the person in charge of the conference."
Takagi Wataru and Miura walked over from the side of the stage.
"How could this happen... it's too bad."
Seeing Hualien's tragic death again, Miura covered his face with his hands and said with some regret.
"I just heard that Miss Hualian received a threatening letter this morning. Is it true?"
Officer Megure looked at Miura seriously and asked.
"Yes."
Miura nodded in response.
"Officer, I just found this in Miss Hualian's lounge!"
Seeing that the topic mentioned threatening letters, Takagi Wataru took out a transparent evidence bag containing folded white paper from the inside of his suit.
"Hmm. What... My beloved Hua Lian, tonight... those who disobey me will only die..."
Officer Megure quickly read the word "death" at the end of the threatening letter and frowned.
"This is text typed using a computer and a printer..."
Officer Memu read the threatening letter carefully, thought for a moment, and winked at the nearby Forensic Division police officer:
"Go and investigate the model of the printer and the stores where you can buy it."
"OK."
After the police officer took the threatening letter with his white-gloved hand, he sealed it back in the evidence bag and quickly left the scene.
"But then again, why didn't you contact the police despite receiving the threatening letter?"
Officer Megure stared at Miura seriously and asked.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."
Miura wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and replied with some anxiety.
"But it turned out to be a murder case, and it was broadcast nationwide!"
Officer Megure scolded sharply.
"Yes, yes... I'm really sorry..."
Facing Officer Megure's momentum, Miura lowered his head feebly and said so.
"Officer Megure, I am also responsible for this matter."
"Huh?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side. Officer Megure turned around and saw Shinichi standing there.
"Ah! Isn't this Kudo!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Officer Memu's serious face:
"I haven't seen you for a while! Why are you here? Besides, what do you mean when you say you also have responsibilities?"
Officer Megure said with some surprise.
"I am replacing Uncle Maori as Miss Hualien's bodyguard."
Shinichi explained.
"Bodyguard? What's going on?"
Officer Memu said doubtfully.
"Mr. Miura first went to Uncle Mori's office with a threatening letter to seek help from him, and he accepted the request. However, he stepped on the stairs of the office and broke his ankle. So I took over as my replacement.
He got it."
Shinichi said, hiding Xiaolan's role as a bodyguard.
"Moori has a broken bone?"
Officer Megure frowned and said:
"Hmm...it really suits Maori's style. He must have been so excited to hear that he could serve as the bodyguard of a beautiful woman, so that led to such a result, right?"
Officer Memu couldn't help but smile bitterly as he imagined the scene at that time.
"That's right, that's why I say you are also responsible..."
Officer Megure said with some understanding.
"yes."
Xin Dian nodded.
"I can understand that you feel you are responsible. However, now is not the time to investigate the issue of responsibility. The first step is to arrest the criminal. Of course you will also assist in the investigation, right?"
Officer Memu couldn't help but ask.
"certainly."
Shinichi affirmed:
"However, the matters I assisted in the investigation are still the same as last time. I hope the police officers will not make them public."
"Well, if you say that, of course there is no problem. But then again, did you see the moment Miss Hualian fell to the ground?"
Officer Megure asked.
"Yes, I saw it."
Xin Dian nodded.
"Then can you tell me more about the situation at that time?"
Officer Megure said.
"yes."
Shinichi said, pointing to the kite string tied to Hualien's hands and feet, and explained:
"The prisoner tied Ms. Hualian's hands and feet to the Wia with kite strings like a puppet."
Officer Memu looked carefully and saw that the kite strings were entangled with the wires connected to Hualian's waist belt.
"Once Wia was pulled up, Miss Hualien's body was hoisted to the beam, but at that time a dagger was already inserted into her chest."
Shinichi continued, and then Officer Memu bent down, looked at the ivory-handled dagger inserted into Hualian's chest, and couldn't help but say:
"That's it..."
"Well, the audience started to commotion after seeing that. After Miss Hualien's body was pulled to the ceiling, the wire fixed to the pulley suddenly disconnected, and Miss Hualian fell to the floor."
Shinichi responded and described what happened next.
"Well, that's right. Judging from the fact that the dagger was stabbed into the chest, the murderer's killing method was just as predicted in the threatening letter."
Officer Memu couldn't help but think.
"Yes, the way her body was hung up was just as predicted, like a puppet on strings."
"Um."
After listening to Shinichi's explanation, Officer Megure couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
"Police officer, in fact, this knife was prepared by the victim for self-defense."
Shinichi added.
"Hey, why does she carry such a dangerous thing?"
Officer Megure looked surprised.
"Miss Hualian, who received the threatening letter, wanted to use it to fight the prisoner."
Shinichi couldn't help but explain.
"Huh? She is really a competitive girl."
Officer Mumu couldn't help but say.
"yes."
Shinichi also agreed with what Officer Megure said.
"If we don't have such a strong competitive spirit in this 'Miss Japanese Style' competition, we won't be able to persist to the end."
After listening to what Officer Memu said just now, Meimei couldn't help but interject.
"is that so……"
Officer Megure replied to Meimei's words in a tone that was hard to agree with, and then couldn't help but ask:
"So, is there anyone who hates your sister very much?"
"That's a lot."
Meimei said while glaring at Jingmei and Sumika on the edge of the stage.
Being stared at by Meimei like this, Jingmei and Chengxiang lowered their heads unconsciously.
Shinichi also looked at the two people, and at this moment, he felt someone tap his shoulder.
Looking back, Shinichi saw Dr. Agasa standing behind him.
"What's wrong?"
Shinichi asked doubtfully.
"actually……"
Dr. A Li said, pulled Shinichi deep into the stage, and whispered into Shinichi's ear with a sad face:
"I just saw that Xiao Ai's mood was not quite right..."
…
At this time, in the hotel staff locker room, a young man with short blond hair and dark skin put on the clothes of a hotel waiter and walked out of the locker room...
