Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 37 Cherry Blossom Crossing, Death Cross!

  In the evening, Mubetsu-cho.

  The place where the cordon was pulled up, the third team of the investigation team has taken over here, and they are closely investigating everything at the scene of the crime.

  On the street that is two streets away from the cordon, a young man in his thirties walked in front, pulling on his slippers. His face was full of signs of alcoholism and staying up late, his clothes were sloppy, and his face was full of impatience.

  Behind him was an old woman in her fifties, wearing a shabby singlet in the cold autumn wind, babbling about something.

   "It's so annoying! Shut up!!"

Suddenly, the slovenly young man turned around abruptly, roaring angrily like a ferocious beast: "How many times have I said, can you take out your pension and pay it back for me first? Don't let those debt collectors pay you back?" Are you happy to force your only son like a mouse? Is there a mother like you in the world?"

  The old woman was baffled by the yelling, and said cautiously, "That little pension is for your father's hospitalization. Mrs. Long, my mother must... make money as soon as possible to help you pay off your gambling debts."

   As she said that, she lowered her head and took out an old wallet from her pocket, and took out some scattered money of more than 2,000 yen, with guilt and apology on her face.

"Mom is old and has no education. This is the money Mom earned from working in an izakaya this week. You can use it first. When it's cold, eat something warm at night. You can't always eat cold food because you have a bad stomach. Don't go there again." Casino."

The young man snatched the money, counted it in his hands quickly, clapped his hands and stuffed it into his pocket, sneered and said: "Oh, if you don't want to give it a try, how can I pay back the money? You can wash it in an izakaya." Plate? It takes eight lifetimes to pay back the money! Didn’t you see how fierce those debt collectors are?”

   "I think you are just hoping that I will be beaten to death on the street before I go up, so that you can be relieved soon!" At the end, his tone was full of impotent and furious resentment!

   Bad luck bad luck!

  Luck is fine!

  I can’t help at all at home.

  Life is really unlucky!

   Turning around and leaving, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, and kicked over the trash can on the side of the road with a bang.

  Behind him, the old woman stood there in a daze, opening her mouth to explain something on her lonely face.

  But in the face of the reality of no money,

   It seems that they are all so pale and feeble again.

  But the next second, there seemed to be exclamations from other pedestrians on the side of the road.

  I saw the young man walking in front full of resentment, his face suddenly became a little dull.

  The red light on the front sign was dazzling, and he walked onto the road just like that. A moving truck was approaching at high speed on the road behind the corner of the street ramen shop.

  The moment she heard the exclamation, the old woman raised her head with difficulty, and her cloudy pupils suddenly lost focus.

   "Ryuta!!"

boom-!

  The next brake, the screech of brakes and the sound of the front of the car hitting a heavy object sounded almost simultaneously.

  Hoo-!

  The young man who seemed to be breaking free from a nightmare suddenly staggered and crashed into the red light pole on the opposite side of the road. Before he recovered, his heart suddenly burst into an unknown fire!

   "Which **** dares"

  He was about to yell at something, but the moment he turned his head, he stopped abruptly.

The whole person was stunned in place as if struck by lightning, his mouth opened involuntarily, and he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry, the exclamation of the passers-by around him and the words that the moving truck driver said to him after he hurried down all disappeared. By the ear.

  In the pool of blood on the roadside under the setting sun, a hunchbacked old woman was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and the bright red blood bubbling from the back of her neck dyed her gray hair red in an instant.

  In a flash, he realized what had just happened—he was hit by that speeding moving truck at the moment of life and death,

one person,

   pushed himself from behind.

"mom"

  He opened his mouth like a fish dying of thirst, but found that he couldn't even utter the simplest syllable, and his eye circles instantly turned red.

  Diagonally across the road, among the crowd of onlookers.

"Pity."

  The snake Guiwu wearing a gray mask watched all this silently, and sighed inwardly.

   "The Holy Master should prefer young souls and blood, but at this time, it is impossible to pursue perfection, as long as it can meet the needs of gestation."

  Thinking of this, Snake Guiwu stared back at the pool of dark golden blood on the side of the road that was coated with a dark golden color by the setting sun.

  The old and frail woman just now was obviously just an ordinary person, but she could burst out with thrilling speed and strength at that moment.

   Such blood food.

  The Lord should be satisfied, right?

   he thought so.

   three minutes later

  The blocked Mubetsu-cho intersection.

  The captain of the third team, Nishi Rin Chitetsu, received the notice, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

  He was surveying the scene at the tram intersection, he never thought that the tram was out of service, and such an accident happened again under their noses two streets away.

   "Damn! These **** are too arrogant!"

   "Are you provoking us?"

  “.”

  Everyone in the third team didn't look good.

  Although from the news that came back, it seems that a mother and son had an argument on the road and the son ran away in anger. After being hit by a car, the mother was pushed away by the mother, but the mother died.

   It sounds like it was just a tragedy caused by a traffic accident, but everyone present is a superpower, so it is natural to know that there is absolutely nothing that simple behind this series of coincidences.

  At this time, the silent Xirin Qiantetsu was thinking about the same problem as Higashi Nohara.

  Planning a fake suicide case.

  From two or three incidents in the previous year, now three incidents occurred within three days. These guys seem to be getting more and more eager, as if they are about to approach some kind of goal.

   May be their purpose

What exactly is it?

   Unable to figure it out, Xi Lin Qiantetsu felt a little bored, always feeling that something was about to happen, and it was likely to happen under his nose.

  But I can't figure it out at all.

  At this time, cumulonimbus clouds appeared above the head at some point like an uphill mountain. Occasionally, pale electric pythons flitted among the dark clouds, and there was a faint thunder in the distant sky.

   "What shall we do next?" Deputy captain Yuu Oue couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

  Nishirin Chitetsu pondered for a while, looking at the cherry blossoms blooming around the tram crossing in Mubetsu-cho, which may be about to wither after the autumn rain, frowned and said:

   "The murderers behind the plot to forge these suicide cases have placed the location at this intersection for so long, even when the intersection was blocked by us and committed crimes again, they chose a location not far away

   Do you really think this is a provocation? "

  Vice-captain Yuu Ogami was stunned for a moment, then pondered, "If it's not a provocation, it means that this intersection has some special meaning to the murderer behind the scenes, but what could it be?"

"I am not sure."

  Nishirin Qiantetsu shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said:

   "But judging from the eagerness of the murderer, it may not take long for us to know the truth. Today, the third team is working overtime to guard this intersection."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the media reporters who were watching the long guns and short cannons flying not far away, frowned and said, "Notify the colleagues in the search section to seal off the surrounding area tonight, and no pedestrians are allowed to approach, especially It’s the journalists who are afraid of chaos.”

   "It's the captain!"

  Yu Ying said at the end.

   Just when the third team was determined to sit back and wait tonight, the reporters who were originally at the tram intersection had already arrived at the scene of the latest "traffic accident" two streets away for the first time, and they rushed to report.

   "The scythe of death fell again! Horror car accident outside the death cross!"

  "The youth attempted suicide and his mother died, and the **** of death reappeared after Sakura fell in Mubetsucho!"

   "Exclusive reveal! The hidden truth behind consecutive traffic accidents."

  “.”

  When Higashinohara saw the news, he immediately realized that Aragaki Satoru's deduction had fallen into a stereotyped thinking.

  Because in the past few years, the accidents in Mubetsu all occurred at that tram intersection and committed suicide by jumping off the rails. After the tram stopped running today, they subconsciously thought that at least nothing would happen today.

   But they overlooked one point.

   traffic suicide accidents,

   You don't necessarily need a tram.

  Thinking about this, Higashinohara hurried back to the apartment with the two small knives he just bought, wanting to call Aragaki Satoru and Xia Li who were together today.

   But when he came to the Xinyuan Detective Agency on the third floor, he found that the door was closed and the van downstairs was gone.

   After thinking about it for a while, Higashinohara realized that the two probably rushed to the scene first after seeing the news and seeing that he was not there. Then he might have to take a few tram stops if he wanted to go to the scene again.

   These two are unreliable!

  Do you want to go see it yourself?

  Higashi Nohara vaguely felt that something was going to happen tonight, even if it wasn't commissioned by Kame Ryoka, he was also eager to move after having the experience of transforming evil points into free attribute points last time.

   Must go tonight!

   Higashinohara no longer hesitated after making a decision.

  When he was about to go downstairs, he didn't forget to go back and change his clothes, and he also put on the dark gold dragonfly mask that he brought back from the dinner party at the Odaiba villa in the rain that night.

   This is a very necessary barrier and protection for him whose real strength is not enough to deal with the secret hostility at the moment, and so far it seems that only the deceased Nishimaru Miri knows his true identity.

   Just as Higashinohara was rushing to the scene of the crime, there was also a woman riding a motorcycle wearing a black leather jacket and a helmet, speeding all the way through the crowded streets of Shinjuku.

  I don't know when, the rain fell, and the woman's charming eyebrows felt a little cool. She raised her hand and put down the mask in front of the helmet, but her eyes were always fixed on the front.

   Something is wrong.

   One offense is enough.

   She Xun Shazhi thought to herself.

  The sky is getting dark.

  The lights on the side of the road come on.

  Near the Mubebetsu Tram Crossing, the honking sounds of cars and the noise of pedestrians all disappeared.

  In fact, with the lessons learned in the afternoon, with the cooperation of the traffic department, several streets around the tram intersection in Mubetsu have been blocked tonight.

Although the onlookers smelled a special smell from the actions of the Metropolitan Police Department, but Nishi Rin Chitie ordered them all to disperse with force, leaving only some scattered soldiers from small newspapers standing on the road in the late autumn night rain Under the eaves of the side shop, they rubbed their hands and breathed out the heat.

  I really miss the bed at home

  But I really want to make a big news about promotion and salary increase.

**** it!

   These police officers are not playing tricks, are they?

  Under the cherry tree at the intersection.

  Xilin Qiantie stood upright in the drizzle holding an umbrella, her two thick eyebrows drooped slightly, and the old monk seemed to be in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking.

   "Captain Xilin! Have a hot cup."

  At this time, the vice-captain Yuu Oda ran over with a large bag of milk tea to give a cup to each of the colleagues on duty who were on duty in the night rain by the side of the road, and then trotted to Xi Rin Chitetsu to hand a cup.

Oda Yuzha put on the straw and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, the economy is in a downturn in this world now, and Yakuza has gone to change careers. When I just bought milk tea, I found out that the owner of the milk tea shop was actually taught by me before." guy."

  “Many times, it’s not that people can’t walk the right path, they just need to experience enough lessons.”

  Xirin Qiantetsu said this after being silent for a moment, but what emerged in his mind was the heart-piercing sloppy young man who was crying on the side of the road in the afternoon.

The pattering rain is getting bigger and bigger, the black ripples on the water beach on the road reflect the turbid yellow street lights above the head, the night wind in late autumn blows through the cherry blossom trees, and the cherry blossoms are falling, and this intersection, which is rarely quiet in the bustling city, becomes quieter and deeper .

   "Captain, do you think there will be something going on here tonight?" Oda Yu suddenly asked a little uneasy.

  Xirin Qiantie said calmly, "If there is, I hope not; if not, I hope there is, otherwise we may have to stay here tomorrow night."

  Yu Oda was taken aback for a moment, and said with some resentment, "It seems to be the truth, it seems that it is not a good thing, eh? Why is that girl over there still there?"

  Xirin Qiantie looked away after hearing the words, and couldn't help frowning immediately.

  He remembered that the petite girl who was wearing a black high school uniform and was about the same size as a primary school student was the family member of the victim who he saw worshiping the portrait in the alley next door when he drove over in the afternoon.

   Have you left yet?

  This is not a good place.

  Nishirin Qiantetsu sighed and waved at the girl.

In the night rain, Ryoka Kame, who was covering herself with a **** umbrella, noticed the gesture of Sirin Chitetsu, and she couldn't help but froze because of her natural cowardice, and nervously grasped the long knife at the waist under the big umbrella. walked over step by step.

  However, just as Kame Ryoka stepped onto the zebra crossing and walked to the middle of the road.

   Without warning!

   A gusty night wind blew across the street.

  A few October cherry trees full of trees and flowers at the intersection suddenly shook violently, and large swirling cherry blossoms rushed towards Ryoka Kame, who was holding a **** umbrella at the intersection, like a surging pink wave.

  Ryoka Kame quickly squatted down, holding the **** umbrella in her arms tightly with her delicate arms, and stood up again after the night wind passed.

  But when she looked at Xi Rin Chitetsu across the road again, she found that the latter's sight and attention were no longer on her.

  At this moment,

  Everyone around her turned their eyes away from her.

  Cherry Blossom Crossroads in rainy night.

   At some point, a group of strangers wearing white long-eared rabbit masks emerged in groups from the darkness in all directions like ghosts at night.

  Walk ahead,

   It was a middle-aged man wearing a gray mask.
