Chapter 622: Have you seen enough? Go back to class

"Wooden man?!"

In the cemetery where the police had set up a cordon, as the boy was observing the condition of the corpse, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The boy looked back and found two young girls in school uniforms outside the cordon, one of whom he happened to know.

It was Kogumaru.

It seemed to be time for school now. Xiao Wuhuan was wearing a school uniform and holding a black schoolbag in his hands. He was standing outside the cordon and looking at the boy in confusion.

Next to Kokarasuma was a girl wearing the same uniform as her. They were of similar age and were obviously classmates.

"Go back to class."

After just a glance at Xiao Wuhuan, the boy withdrew his gaze and spoke at the same time.

Strange, what was he thinking about just now?

"Wait! Are you in trouble again?"

But Xiao Wuhuan did not listen to the boy and leave obediently. Instead, he approached the cordon and made a move to climb over.

"Karasuma-san..." Seeing this, her classmate tugged at her sleeve with some concern, as if he felt it was not a good idea to get involved in police affairs like this.

"It's okay, Akina, I know that person..."

As Kougamaru said this, she actually pulled up the cordon and walked in. The classmate she called Akina had no choice but to follow her in.

Seeing this, several detectives nearby wanted to step forward to stop them, but they took no further action. Instead, they looked at each other and then at the boy who was still squatting beside the corpse.

After all, over the past six months, Kokarasuma had been frequently working together with the boy and Hatoyama Keiko. Even the most obtuse detective had been able to figure out the identity of this girl who looked like a foreigner after learning from various sources.

Although trespassing into a murder scene was indeed against the rules and regulations, they did not dare to stop them forcefully without the boy's support.

"How is it? Is it troublesome? Do you need my help?" In the moment when the detectives hesitated, Xiao Wuwan quickly jumped to the boy's side and asked excitedly.

Ever since the incident on the set half a year ago, she seemed to have suddenly opened the door to a new world and began to like the feeling of being a detective solving cases. Whenever she got the chance, she would rush forward desperately.

It's just that the boy's whereabouts are not fixed, and he is often nowhere to be found in the university when he is busy. In addition, the boy's abnormal reasoning ability makes it so that even if she occasionally encounters a case with the boy, it will end up being a situation where she has just got a clue and the boy has already "passed the case", which is a completely unpleasant experience.

Having finally run into him today, Xiao Wuhuan will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"babble!!"

However, with this thought in mind, Xiao Wuwan just took a look at the body in front of the boy, and her face turned pale with fright. Her body trembled subconsciously, and the classmate who followed her in directly covered his eyes with his hands.

After all, the corpse at the scene, with its bizarre and terrifying shape and blood all over the ground, does have a considerable visual impact.

Although he had accompanied the boy to several different murder scenes in the past six months, this was the first time that Kougamaru had seen a body that had died like this.

"Is she, is she dead?" With his brain stuck, Karasuma stuttered and asked a question that even he felt was stupid.

"Well, if she doesn't have any special abilities that can save her, then I think she is definitely dead."

After saying this, which he wasn't sure if it was a joke or not, the boy finally stood up and turned his gaze toward the two girls beside him again.

"Okay, if you've seen enough, go back to class."

The boy's voice was still calm and indifferent, but there seemed to be some concern in his words.

"me……"

"Mr. Baihe! The person is here!"

At this moment, the detective who was previously ordered by the boy to bring back the first person who discovered the body and also reported the case came back.

Behind the criminal police, there was an ordinary middle-aged man. The man was dressed in ordinary clothes, had ordinary looks and an ordinary figure. He was the kind of character that would be forgotten at a glance if thrown into a crowd.

He seemed to be the gravekeeper of the nearby cemetery.

"Are you the first person to discover the body?" Without looking at Xiao Wuwan and her classmates, the boy looked at the gravekeeper and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Officer."

The gravekeeper looked up at the boy, then lowered his head and replied.

His tone was steady and his expression was calm. He was not affected by the corpse next to him. I don't know if it was because he had seen it before, or because he had been dealing with cemeteries for many years and had become numb to these things...

"When did you find the body?" the boy continued to ask without correcting the gravekeeper's wrong name.

"About an hour ago, when I was finishing my final round of the cemetery and preparing to go back to bed, I noticed an extra 'person' here.

Because this ‘person’ had been kneeling here for several minutes without moving, I was a little worried so I came over to take a look, and then I found that she was dead…”

"What time do you usually patrol the cemetery at night?"

"This is usually not fixed. Anyway, between midnight and six in the morning, we usually patrol once or twice every night."

"And last night?"

"It happened twice. The first time was at one in the morning, and the second time was at five in the morning, which was when I found the body..." the gravekeeper replied.

One o'clock and five o'clock... The victim died at about three or four o'clock. Coincidentally, the time of his two patrols of the cemetery in the early morning coincided with the time when the murderer committed the crime in the cemetery.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything. Since the murderer planned to commit the crime in this place, he would naturally observe the gravekeeper's nightly patrol habits.

Although the grave keepers say that the patrol time is not fixed, those who do this kind of work for a long time will generally gradually form their own habitual time. It is impossible for it to be completely random.

The murderer might have been certain of this and knew that the gravekeeper would not appear at that time, so he chose to commit the crime at that time.

There is no obvious breakthrough in terms of time, so the next step is to make a breakthrough in the identity of the deceased and the crime scene.

Who was the deceased? Why did the murderer choose to kill her here? What is the special meaning of tying the body of the deceased into this "praying" posture?

"Hey, Akina, look at the face of this corpse..."

Just as the boy was thinking about this in his mind, Kogumaru, who had been listening silently beside him, suddenly spoke.

"She looks... similar to Kyoko-san?"

Chapter 623 She understands Xiaoshu’s thoughts!

"Hey, Akina, look at the face of this corpse. Doesn't she look like Kyoko-san?"

Just as the boy was silently sorting out the clues in his mind, Xiao Wuwan beside him suddenly said this.

【Apricot? 】

Hearing the voice, the boy turned to look at Kogumaru.

Up to now, the police still do not know the identity of the deceased.

Although the boy did not need to mention this matter deliberately, the detectives launched an investigation as soon as they arrived at the scene. However, the death of the deceased was too "clean". Not only did he not have any clothes on his body, but he also could not find any identification documents.

Although the deceased's face did not suffer any deliberate damage, it still takes time to search and investigate.

"Eh? Apricot?!"

Hearing Kogumaru's voice, the frightened classmate behind her suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the corpse in front of her for the first time.

At the first sight, the girl named Akina was stunned and her face turned pale.

"No, not really! She is Kyoko!"

Unlike Karasuma who was slightly face-blind to East Asians, Akina recognized at a glance that the tragically dead body in front of her was that of their classmate Anzi.

The boy frowned slightly when he heard this, then turned to look at a criminal police officer next to him.

The criminal policeman immediately understood what was meant and turned around and left to investigate the information.

"Do you know the deceased?" Then the boy looked at Xiao Wuwan and the other man and asked.

"If it's Anzi, then we know her! She is our classmate and in the same class!" Xiao Wuhuan nodded repeatedly.

"She must be Kyoko!" Akina, who was hiding behind her, responded in a fearful but very sure tone:

"Although, although she has no clothes, her face, hair, and body are all the same as Xingzi's! There's no mistake! Xingzi she, Xingzi she..."

Well, the random passerby who was killed tragically is now a classmate.

Later, the boy learned from Kokarasuma and the other boy that although this girl named Anzi was in the same class as them, she was usually domineering and a bit like a gang leader, so her relationship with the other two was not very good.

It should be said that it's not just these two people. This classmate Xingzi seems to have a bad relationship with all the classmates in the class and doesn't have many friends.

"Does she have any enemies?"

The boy listened to the two people's story quietly and asked. He seemed to feel that it was not good to use such a statement to treat the two high school girls, so he quickly changed the topic:

“It’s just someone with whom we don’t have a good relationship.”

"a lot of!"

The one who answered the boy was Akina. Maybe because the boy was standing next to the corpse, the female high school student kept hiding behind Kokarasuma with only her head showing.

"Since junior high school, Xingzi has always had a bad relationship with her classmates! Many girls in the class were bullied by her!

It was the same after I entered high school! Xingzi always liked to bully other students! I heard that she even had contacts with some students from other schools..."

Xiao Wuhuan did not interrupt. After all, she had just returned to Japan half a year ago and was not clear about these past events.

[Are you a problem student with poor relationships on campus? ]

As the boy listened to Akina's description, he glanced at the girl's body at his feet.

This kind of situation is indeed prone to retaliation, but no matter how much revenge is done, it should not be to the extent of making the corpse look so weird. This does not seem to be a simple vent of anger...

"I, I also heard that during the holiday before entering high school, there seemed to be another girl in the school who was often bullied by Xingzi and finally jumped off the building to commit suicide..."

At this time, Akina added something, which made the boy keenly grasp a clue.

"Jumped herself off the building? What's her name?"

Ordinary bullying and abuse may hardly lead to vendettas, but once a murder is caused, the situation will be completely different. The possibility that the family of the deceased will retaliate against the bully will increase rapidly.

"I-I don't know..."

This time, Akina did not give an answer.

"Because the girl who jumped off the building was not in the same class as me, I only heard about it at that time..."

The boy didn't ask any more questions.

Most schools would try their best to block the news when encountering such a thing. I don’t know if this is normal, but for him, this little bit of news is enough, at least it provides a direction for investigation.

"Mr. Shirakawa."
