Chapter 609 Threat from the Murderer
Yuya and Miyano Shiho came to Junya Kazematsu's house.
Yuya asked straight to the point: "Mr. Kazematsu, do you know the headless mummy in Tokita's house?"
"Oh, of course I know." Feng Jichun had no intention of hiding anything, "That mummy has been passed down since ancient times. It is the guardian deity of this village."
"Guardian angel?" Youye was stunned. No, what kind of good person would regard a mummy as a patron saint?
Feng Jijun also continued: "In this village, including my family, each of the four families has a mummy, and there is another one in the church in the center, a total of five mummies."
"Five mummies?" Youye frowned slightly. If there were five mummies, why was the fifth mummy written on the paper instead of the sixth?
"Can you show us the mummy in your house?"
"of course can."
Feng Jijun also took the two of them to the basement, where there was a coffin of the same style as the one in Tokita's house.
When the coffin was opened, a mummy was revealed without its right shoulder and left hand.
Yuya asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that all five mummies are missing some part?"
Feng Jiejun also nodded: "Yes, you are indeed a famous detective. You have guessed it. Every mummy has a head or a hand, or a defect on the body. They are all incomplete."
Yuya was silent. Why was it missing? And why would such a mummy be placed in the house?
Considering my previous speculation about revenge...are they really the guardian gods of the village?
···
After a day of investigation, there was no progress. No tools were found for beheading, nor was Dou Wuzi found.
It wasn't until the next day that things took a turn for the worse.
Yuya had just finished breakfast and was walking outside when he saw several police cars parked in front of a white building.
Is that...Fuyuki Sanzi's home?
Having a bad feeling in his heart, Youya hurried into the house.
"Detective Kamiya, you're here." Yamamura So's face looked a little ugly, "Another person was killed. It was Fuyuki Sanko. A note was left at the scene, saying 'It's not over yet, the fifth mummy'."
"No one noticed anything unusual last night. We found a syringe at the scene with heroin inside. I guess the victim was killed while in a trance while taking drugs. In addition, the condition of the body is a bit strange..."
Yuya's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that she also had a part of her body cut off?"
Yamamura Cao showed a surprised expression: "How do you know? Yes, her right hand was cut off."
Yuya frowned and said in a deep voice: "There should be a mummy in this house as well. Have you found it?"
Just then, a police officer ran over: "Officer Yamamura, we found a coffin in the basement, and there is a mummy inside!"
When we arrived at the basement, the coffin had been opened and there was indeed a mummy inside.
And just as Yuya guessed, this mummy had no right hand, which was exactly the same as the cause of death of Fuyuki Sanko.
It is now basically certain that the murderer killed people for the purpose of revenge.
And he deliberately used the same death method as a mummy. There must be some secret behind this.
Yuya once again went to ask Jun Fuujiya, but the latter refused to say anything and insisted that the mummy was the guardian of the village.
Yuya angrily shouted, "What guardian angel? Two people have already died, and their deaths were exactly like mummies. Do you still think they are guardian angels? And Kabuto Kiriko, I'm afraid she has also been killed!"
Feng Jichun was also silent for a while, and finally said: "I have said it many times, the mummies are the guardian gods of the village, and their deaths are just the murderers doing it to scare us!"
You was speechless. Since Feng Jijun refused to reveal the secret of the mummy, he could only investigate it on his own.
He first returned to Fuyuki Sanko's home and carefully examined the mummy in the basement. He was surprised to find that it was not the legendary mummy at all, but... a burned corpse!
When we arrived at Tokita's house, we found the headless mummy, the same one as the one at Fuyuki's house, which was also a burned corpse.
Yuya's intuition told him that the other three mummies were probably in the same situation. It seemed that these five mummies were not handed down from ancient times at all.
He told Yamamura Cao about his discovery and asked him to send someone to perform an autopsy on the mummy.
Coming to the church again, You also met Makino Shuri here.
"Teacher Makino..." Yuya walked up and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Makino Hiiragi looked sad and murmured, "Who did this? What on earth is the fifth mummy?"
He excitedly grabbed Yuya's shoulders: "Kamiya-san, please, aren't you a famous detective? You must find the murderer who killed Wakaba!"
Yuya nodded heavily, took a few steps forward, looked at the bed where Tokita Wakaba had lain in the church, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer."
"I trust you...be careful!"
Makino Hiiragi suddenly screamed and threw Youya to the ground.
Boom! There was a loud noise, and Youya, lying on the ground, could even feel the ground shaking.
He stood up and looked at the huge cross on the ground less than half a meter away from them. He swallowed his saliva and said to Makino Hiiragi with lingering fear: "Thank you, Mr. Makino."
Looking at the location where the cross fell, it happened to be where Youye had just stood. If he was hit by the cross, he would probably be seriously injured if not killed.
Makino Shuu shook his head: "It's okay, it's the teacher's duty to protect students."
He looked up at the top of his head. The cross is a decoration on the top of every church. He was puzzled: "Why did this cross fall down?"
Yuya walked to the cross and found the words written on it in bright red: "Stop interfering in other people's business, or your life will be in danger. The fifth mummy."
Makino Hiiragi showed a worried expression: "Why not just forget it? I can't let you get into danger."
Yuya put one hand in his pocket, a sneer on his face, looking at the bright red words on the cross and said lightly: "Teacher Makino, don't worry. I have solved so many cases, and it's not that I haven't been threatened. I have also been in danger several times."
"But it's the detective's duty to find out the truth, and I will never let the murderer go unpunished."
"Besides, you have challenged me head-on. I will expose the truth even if it costs me the honor of being a famous detective!"
