A Sorcerer in the Detective World

Near Mochizuki's house, in front of the vending machine.

Mihara Koko held Mikako's hand, stuffed coins into the vending machine, and pressed the oolong tea button.

A few seconds later, with a soft sound, two cans of oolong tea appeared at the exit. Yonehara Koko took out the oolong tea, turned to Mikako next to her and asked, "Mikako, do you want something to drink?"

"No, no need." Mikako shook her head, and then asked in a low voice, "...Aunt Akiko, did the videotape capture how my sister was killed by the bad guys?"

Yonehara Koko's movements froze, and she held the drink can firmly with her plain white palms. After a long silence, she softly said: "I'm sorry, Mikako, I didn't protect Minako..."

"...This is all my fault, it's all my fault..."

…

"Damn it! Damn it! It's so abominable! People who are so evil to the core must be punished!" In the living room of Mochizuki's house, Sonoko waved his fist angrily.

Masao Mochizuki covered his face and cried, and Nanatsuki Koshizui thought solemnly: "... Regarding these two scumbag teachers, they will definitely be punished as they deserve. The video tape left by Minako Mochizuki is the most direct evidence. , they can't escape even if they want to..."

"...However, compared to this matter, what I am more concerned about is who discovered this videotape and then hid it?"

"...According to what was captured in the video tape, the camera was not moved until the tape was taken. Who was the first person to discover the camera? First of all, the police can rule it out. If they find the video recorder while searching for evidence, If so, I will definitely confirm the contents carefully, and we will not let these two scumbag teachers go unpunished..."

"...Secondly, we can also rule out those two scumbag teachers. If they were scumbag teachers, they would definitely choose to destroy the contents of the videotape instead of hiding this kind of evidence. Moreover, even if they hide it temporarily, they will definitely hide it in the future. I will go back to get it, there is no way I can stay there for three years..."

"In this case, who is the person who hid the video tape?"

Tsukamoto Sumi, Sonoko, and Mochizuki Masao were all stunned for a moment. Tsukamoto Sumi said in surprise: "Could it be that there were other people present when Minako Mochizuki was killed?"

Shu Yunwen thought for a moment, then sighed softly and said: "...There may not be anyone, but there is a ghost..."

"Ah?" Tsukamoto Sumi, Sonoko, Mochizuki Masao and others froze for a moment, then thought of who the "ghost" Shu Yunwen was talking about, Tsukamoto Sumi couldn't help but asked: "...Yunwen-kun, you You don’t want to think that the video tape was hidden by Minako herself, right?”

Shu Yunwen nodded, and then explained: "... Everything that follows is just my guess..."

"...Mr. Mochizuki, you said before that Minako's body was discovered by several teachers in the early morning of the next day, right? Moreover, among those teachers were Sugiyama and Shimoda who killed Minako, right?"

"That's right." Mochizuki Masao nodded.

"...In this case, the possibility is very high." Shu Yunwen continued, "...I guess that after Minako died, she still retained her consciousness and stayed there and did not leave. Several teachers found out After Minako's body was found, Sugiyama or Shimoda accidentally discovered the camera hidden outside the window..."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was stunned for a moment and asked: "...They discovered the camera?"

"...Yes." Shu Yunwen nodded, "The two of them must have been shocked after discovering the camera. They wanted to find an opportunity to secretly get the camera to see what was captured in the camera..."

As Shu Yunwen was talking, Mochizuki Masao suddenly said "Ah" and said excitedly: "I remember it! At first, Akiko said that not long after Minako's body was found, Sugiyama and Shimoda called the police They left the ballet studio for reasons such as "an ambulance" and "calling security"..."

"...They should be trying to get rid of everyone else,

Is it convenient to retrieve the camera outside the window? " Yuesui Nanatsuki pinched his chin and turned to look at Shu Yunwen.

Shu Yunwen said: "That should be the case. However, what was just captured on the videotape in the camera, but the process of Minako being killed by them, is also the most direct evidence. What would Minako do if her soul was also present at the time? ?”

"...Does that need to be said? Of course, we must do our best to protect the videotape from being taken away by Sugiyama and Shimoda." Sonoko answered immediately.

Shu Yunwen nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. So Minako took the video tape one step ahead and hid it..."

"Ah..." Tsukamoto Sumi and Sonoko both exclaimed, and then heard Tsukamoto Sumi ask, "But, but Yunwen-kun, didn't you say that ordinary souls have no ability to move objects at all? Minako originally It’s just a new-born soul, so it shouldn’t have the ability…”

Shu Yunwen replied: "Under normal circumstances, she does not have this ability, but if the surrounding environment is filled with gloomy energy, it is a different matter."

"...Didn't I just say it in the car? There is a special terrain of bipolar ghost cave between Aipido Elementary School and Teidan Elementary School. Affected by the power of the moon, it is limited to the fifteenth day of each month on the lunar calendar. When the month changes, the nights at Tedan Elementary School will be full of Yin energy from the first to the fifteenth hour, and the nights at Abedo Elementary School from the fifteenth to the thirtieth hour will be full of Yin energy."

"Minako was killed three years ago on March 21st, February 30th on the lunar calendar. On that night, the entire ballet classroom was filled with gloomy energy, so even if she was a freshman who was just killed, Ghosts can also move lighter problems..."

"...But, but...since she hid the videotape herself, why didn't she find an opportunity to take it out and hand it over to the police? The police will definitely investigate after receiving the call, right? As long as the police find the videotape, then Everything will naturally come to light..." Sonoko asked eagerly, Tsukamoto Sumi and Mochizuki Masao were also looking at Shu Yunwen, waiting for Shu Yunwen's answer.

Before Shu Yunwen could speak, Nanatsuki Koshizui beside him had already thoughtfully answered for him: "...That...probably because she couldn't take it out at that time. "

"That's right." Shu Yunwen glanced at Nanatsuki Koshizui and continued, "Teacher Yonehara and the others found Minako in the early morning. When the police received the alarm and rushed to Acupido Elementary School, it should have already been dawn. Bipolar Ghost Due to the topographic characteristics of the cave, all the Yin Qi will return to the ground during the day. Without the strong Yin Qi around, Minako is just an ordinary newborn ghost without any abilities..."

Yuanzi continued to ask: "What happens after that? As long as she waits until night comes, can't she take out the tape and give it to others?"

"...That's impossible." Shu Yunwen shook his head, "The day she was killed was the 30th day of the second lunar month, and the next day was the first day of the lunar month. Half a month after her death, the Yin Qi in the Bipolar Ghost Point They were all transferred to Teidan Elementary School. There is no Yin Qi in Aido Elementary School, and even her basic survival is in doubt..."

Tsukamoto Sumi and Sonoko were all stunned, while Shu Yunwen continued: "...In a place with thin Yin Qi, it is very difficult for ordinary newborn ghosts to survive. However, Minako absorbed a lot when she just died. Yin Qi, so it lasted for half a month. Unfortunately, after surviving this half month, Mochizuki Minako's complete soul became a broken remnant soul, leaving only some remaining instincts from her lifetime to guard the scroll. Crucial videotape..."

"Then, her soul began to chase the survival instinct, unconsciously following the Yin Qi as it moved between the two schools. However, because there was no tape in Didan Elementary School that she had been guarding, she kept looking there..."

"...Do you know? When I found Mochizuki Minako at Teidan Elementary School last night, she could only repeat one sentence mechanically. That is..."

"…'Have you seen my belt?'…"
