When Higashinohara saw the news, he immediately realized that Aragaki Satoru's inference was stuck in a fixed mindset.

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

But they ignored one thing.

traffic suicide accident,

A tram is not necessarily needed.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara quickly rushed back to the apartment with the two Kodachi swords he had just bought, wanting to call Aragaki Satoru and Charlie who were with him today.

But when he arrived at the Aragaki Detective Office on the third floor, he found that the door was closed and the van downstairs was missing.

After thinking about it, Higashinohara realized that the two of them had probably rushed to the scene after seeing the news and seeing that he was not around. Then he would probably have to take a few more train stops to get to the scene.

These two are unreliable!

Do you want to go and see it yourself?

Higashinohara vaguely felt that something was probably going to happen tonight, even if it wasn't Shikame Ryoka's request, he was already ready to move after the experience of converting sin points into free attribute points last time.

Must go tonight!

Higashinohara made his decision and no longer hesitated.

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

This is a very necessary barrier and protection for him, whose current real strength is not enough to deal with the secret hostility. So far, only the deceased Nishimaru Miri seems to know 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 through the crowded streets of Shinjuku District.

At some point, raindrops fell, and the woman felt a slight chill between her charming brows. She raised her hand and put down the mask in front of her helmet, but her eyes were always staring ahead.

There are some errors.

Once is enough.

Snake Ghoul Saori thought to herself.

...

The sky is getting dark.

The lights on the roadside are on.

Near the Kubetsucho Tram Crossing, the honking of cars and the noise of pedestrians have all disappeared.

In fact, based on what we learned this afternoon, and with the cooperation of the people from the Traffic Division, several streets around the Kuribetsu Tram Crossing have been blocked tonight.

Although the onlookers smelled something special from the Metropolitan Police Department's actions, Xi Linqianqianzhi forcefully ordered them all to be dispersed, leaving only a few stragglers from small newspapers standing on the road in the late autumn night rain.

Rubbing hands under the eaves of a side shop and enjoying the heat.

Damn it!

Are these police officers just trying to be mysterious?

I miss my bed at home so much!

But there seems to be big news about a promotion and a salary increase.

...

Under the cherry blossom trees at the crossroads.

Xilin Qiantie stood upright in the drizzle with an umbrella, his thick eyebrows drooping slightly, as if the old monk was in trance and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Captain Xi Lin! Have a cup of hot drink."

At this time, deputy captain Oda Yuu ran over with a large bag of milk tea and gave each of his colleagues on duty a cup in the rain on the roadside.

Oda Yu put on the straw and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, the world's economy is in recession now, Yakuza has gone to change careers. When I just bought milk tea, I realized that the owner of the milk tea shop was actually taught by me before.

Guy."

"Many times, it's not that people can't take the right path, they just need to experience enough lessons."

Xilin Qiante said this after being silent for a moment. What came to mind was that slovenly young man who cried heartbrokenly on the roadside in the afternoon.

The drizzle of rain is getting heavier and heavier. The black ripples on the road surface reflect the yellow street lamps overhead. The late autumn night wind blows through the cherry blossom trees and a burst of fallen cherry blossoms. This rare quiet intersection in the busy city becomes more and more quiet and deep.

.

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

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

Oda Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily, "That seems to be the truth. It seems like it's not a good thing to have it or not, eh? Why is that girl over there still there?"

Xilin Qiantie looked around after hearing this, and suddenly couldn't help but frown.

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

Haven't left yet?

This is not a nice place.

Xilin Qiante sighed and waved to the girl.

...

In the rain at night, Shikame Ryoka, who was covering herself with a big black umbrella, noticed Sairin Chitetsu's gesture. She was timid by nature and couldn't help but stiffen. She nervously held the long knife at her waist under the big umbrella.

Walked over step by step.

However, just when Shikame Ryoka stepped on the zebra crossing and reached the middle of the road.

Without warning!

A strong night wind blew through the streets.

Several blooming October cherry trees at the intersection suddenly swayed violently, and large swaths of flying cherry blossoms rushed towards Shikame Ryoka who was holding a big black umbrella at the intersection like a surging pink wave.

Shikame Ryoka hurriedly squatted down, holding the big black umbrella in her arms tightly with her delicate little arms. She waited until the night wind passed before standing up again.

But when she looked back at Xilin Qiantetsu across the road, she found that the latter's eyes and attention were no longer on her.

At this moment,

Everyone around them turned their attention away from her.

A crossroads of cherry blossoms in the rainy night.

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

The one who walks in the front,

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