Or maybe it's just because of the old-fashioned decoration that it looks very old.
Because there was no light on, the room looked dark and eerie.
And in such an environment, the "rustling" sounds coming from the basement gave people an even more creepy feeling.
I don't know how long it took, but on the stairs leading to the basement, a girl with her hair loose and wearing the junior high school uniform of Sakuraba Girls' Academy, with a panicked and frightened face, hurriedly ran out of the dark basement.
However, just when the girl was about to walk out of the stairs leaving the basement and saw the door to the room right in front of her, a hand suddenly stretched out from the dark basement and grabbed the girl's ankle that was still on the stairs——
Suddenly, because one of her feet was caught, the girl who was about to reach the first floor jumped forward and fell down the stairs due to the inertia of her body.
However, since her upper body had already reached the first floor, the girl who still had the remaining hope clung to the floor of the first floor and tried to climb towards the door that was just around the corner.
However, such actions are ultimately in vain.
The hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbed the girl's ankle, and pulled her back into the dark basement——
"Please, let me go!"
Finally, when she turned back to look at the dark and scary basement that she had managed to escape from, the girl looked desperate, crying, and begged with a trembling voice.
However, such pleading did not change the other party's actions. The hand that grabbed his ankle instead pulled him harder towards the dark, hell-like room.
In response, the girl's survival instinct made her work harder to squirm and crawl out.
But the door that symbolizes hope is getting further and further away from me.
Finally, when only her outstretched hands were left, and they were about to be dragged away from the stairs connecting the first floor, the girl's astonished eyes showed deep fear——
"Help...Help! Help me...Is there someone..."
Even though she knew that shouting like this would not help, the girl at this moment could only shout like this with a voice that was close to hoarse.
However, the result of shouting like this is that the girl can only watch the scene of the door disappear from her sight faster, and in the end she can only see the steps of the stairs diagonally upward and the dim ceiling——
"No...no!"
Trembling, the girl's reason was gradually taken over by the desire to survive——
"Anything is okay...I am willing to do anything! No...please...please you! Mr. Akechi!"
Hoarsely, the girl said these words as if she was resigned to her fate.
Then, the hand that was still pulling him hard stopped pulling at this moment.
But instead, another hand stretched out from the darkness, and without mercy, pulled off the skirt of the girl's uniform. Then, the buttons of the top were pulled and broken——
In this villa deep in the mountains, no matter how noisy it is, no one will notice any abnormal noise.
…
"This is the third one..."
On the edge of the creek in the suburbs, on the outside of this area, a long isolation belt has been built by the police who came over.
Officer Memu from the Metropolitan Police Department looked at what he found in the creek in front of him, his face looked very serious and he murmured.
Also, all the police officers present seemed to be suppressing unspeakable emotions at this time.
Miwako Sato, who was standing next to Officer Megure, could not help but nodded seriously after listening to what Officer Megure said, and reported the report seriously in a heavy tone:
"Yes... the severed limbs... still belong to the same minor according to visual inspection. And the wounds also show signs of life. I'm afraid it will be the same this time..."
Saying this, Miwako Sato's expression seemed to be suppressing her anger.
"Um……"
Officer Megure, who closed his eyes and seemed to be praying for something, made a heavy sound to signal Sato Miwako to stop talking, and then said in a deep voice:
"Take it back first... Just like the previous two times, ask the person who reported the crime not to make this matter public..."
"But!"
Hearing this, Sato Miwako shouted anxiously:
"This is already the third time. If we keep hiding it like this, there will be more victims!"
"Sato! This is an order!"
Officer Megure also said very angrily, which made Sato Miwako stunned for a moment and said nothing more for a while.
Then, Officer Megure pulled down the brim of his hat and calmed down before continuing:
"I can understand your feelings... However, now that we can't even determine the identity of the victim... no, even the life or death of the victim, rashly making this matter public will cause panic! And...
"
With that said, Officer Memu looked at the police officers who were cleaning up the scene and said with some seriousness:
"At least now, I can know that the criminal in these three incidents must be the same person! Not some psychopathic copycat criminal!"
Speaking of this, Officer Memu relieved his heavy heart and ordered:
"In short, continue to investigate all medical facilities in Tokyo. If no findings are found, expand the investigation to nearby districts and counties - this is also an order issued by Akechi Police!"
…
"But, Miss Kyoko, how are you going to ask the students? Even if they know something, since the police haven't even investigated it, it is estimated that even if Miss Kyoko is investigating as a detective, it will be difficult for them to speak.
"
Although he was very concerned about the text written on the inner side of Miss Kyoko's thigh that he just saw, in order not to reveal where his eyes had just glanced, Yin Tate Ousuke could only suppress his curiosity and changed the topic.
"Hmm... I should call myself a family member of the 'Girl with Last Words' and ask questions to the classmates and teachers in the staff room."
Regarding this question, Miss Kyoko thought for a moment and said.
"'Girl with Last Words'?"
After hearing Miss Kyoko's words, Yin Tate Ousuke asked slightly surprised.
"It's 'the girl who left the last words and jumped off the building to commit suicide', or 'the girl with the last words' for short."
Regarding the abbreviation she chose, Miss Kyoko seemed to be very satisfied and nodded, looking very proud:
"Anyway, Mr. Osuke, can you please wait here? There seems to be a bench there, please sit there and wait."
Miss Kyoko said, pointing to a bench not far away, far away from the area where students gathered, and not visited by students.
"Ah...oh..."
Considering that it is inconvenient for me to move now, and because of my status, it is inconvenient for me to go out and ask the students, this arrangement is considered thoughtful.
So, with the support of Miss Kyoko, Yin Tate Osuke sat down on the bench——
"Then, I'll go and come back. If I don't come back within an hour, please come and save me."
Just when he was about to go over to ask, Miss Kyoko suddenly said something like this, which shocked Yin Tate Osuke's face——
"Huh? Do I want to save you?"
"You're kidding."
Miss Kyoko smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't come to rescue me. Just help me tell Mr. Mingzhi that the mission failed."
