"Sir, a major murder occurred at Horikawa High School!"

Soon, with the report of the special emergency attack troops, Sakai's thoughts were pulled back to the police station.

"...A monk from Kinkaku Temple was found dead in the school auditorium, with all the corpses cutting their heads off by sharp blades, and no monks' heads were found on the scene."

Under Sakai's gaze, the special emergency attack troops introduced the specific situation of the murder.

"Headless corpse?"

When Sakai heard about the murder, he couldn't help but murmur.

The headless murder case has been recorded in the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department.

More importantly, Sakai only saw the description of the headless female corpse from "Miscellaneous Notes of Kyoto".

If he had arrived in Kyoto, Sakai might have only regarded all this as a perverted murderer's killing method, but after contacting Keiko Watanabe, Sakai quickly judged that all this may have some connection with the headless female corpse described in "Miscellaneous Notes of Kyoto".

"Arranging the Metropolitan Police Department to block Horikawa High School, no one is allowed to enter the school until the results are investigated!"

Sakai originally came to Kyoto to investigate and cover up the incident of Keiko in the time capsule.

Although Keiko Watanabe, who is the target, has been trapped in the laboratory due to the telephone.

However, Sakai clearly realized the particularity of Horikawa High School itself, which was the place where the incident occurred.

Judging from "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes", Keiko in the time capsule is obviously not the product of some coincidence. Perhaps Horikawa High School, which is the source of the incident, is the key to everything.

...

Horikawa High School, at the gate.

The cordon pulled up by the police blocked the door. Looking at the policeman appearing at the door, curious eyes appeared on the faces of the pedestrians.

Not far away, there were gathering people constantly looking at the school situation.

If the uniforms on the surrounding police officers in the police station had such a deterrent effect, they might have already entered the school.

"It's the same way to die again!"

School, in the auditorium.

Yamamoto couldn't help frowning when he looked at the headless corpse piled up randomly and soaked in the floor with a lot of blood.

"This time, it's not the statue's hand again?"

Looking at the headless corpses of these monks in Kinkaku Temple, the police officer of the Police Department, who was also responsible for the previous investigation of the headless corpse of Tanaka, couldn't help but speak.

"The Metropolitan Police Department has not conducted research on broken plaster statues. It is confirmed that it is just an ordinary statue with no abnormalities at all."

Although, due to the testimony of Inoue and others, the Metropolitan Police Department attached some importance to the broken statues on the scene.

However, as the follow-up report comes out.

But it made the case that seemed clear and confusing again.

"In my opinion, rather than a statue killer, I would rather believe that it was the act of some perverted murderer."

"According to the security guards at Horikawa High School that day, the chanting of monks from Kinkakuji Temple continued until the morning seat, and they also saw these monks sitting this morning..."

Listening to his colleague's words, Yamamoto's eyes fell on the solidified black blood mark on the auditorium floor.

"If the monks keep rituals for half a day, it will obviously not match the death time of the corpse on site, so..."

"...So, the only possibility is that after the resurrection headless statues cut off the heads of the monks in the Kinkaku Temple, they continued the rituals as they were before."

Walking into the auditorium, Sakai interrupted Yamamoto's words and judged.

"In the previous death case of Tanaka, Inoue mentioned that he had talked with Tanaka who had confirmed his death more than once, and was still in the art department with him for a period of time. In other words, those resurrected headless statues will play the role of the head master to some extent after they get their heads..."

Everything Sakai said was based on the interrogation of the previous headless case obtained by the Metropolitan Police Department.

"However, the investigation and prove that the plaster statue's composition is just ordinary plaster, and there is nothing special about it?"

Looking at Sakai who appeared at the crime scene, a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department said unwillingly.

"I originally thought that after experiencing Keiko's case, people from the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department would be alert."

Frowning, he swept over the police officer in the police station who spoke in front of him.

A look of disappointment flashed across Sakai's face.

And at this moment, the special emergency attack troops appeared beside him.

"Report to the Chief, it has been investigated and all the headless statues originally located in the Art Department disappeared."

"What?!"

Hearing the report of the special emergency attack troops, the police officers at the police station on the mountain side suddenly showed a look of shock and annoyance.

Because all the bodies were in the auditorium, he actually ignored the investigation of the old school building and missed such an important clue.

He did not take the annoyed expression of the police department to heart. After listening to the report of the special emergency attack troops, Sakai nodded slightly.

"Continue to investigate, the missing statues will not go too far, and ask people to go to Kinkakuji to ask if the monks in charge of the Horikawa High School rituals have any return temples, and search for nearby questions to ask if anyone saw a monk who could appear nearby."

Sakai did not show too much panic about these headless statues, but calmly issued instructions.

It has been seen from Tanaka's case that although the headless statue's murder mode is strange, it is not too strong in itself, at least not as fatal as Keiko.

Once you seize the opportunity, even high school students like Inoue and others can easily destroy it.

The fundamental reason why monks in Kinkaku Temple were killed by these headless statues is because of their fear of themselves.

With Sakai's orders, members of the special emergency attack troops quickly launched operations.

In the auditorium, Sakai's eyes turned slightly and fell on the principal on the side.

So many things happened in Horikawa High School, and even monks who were invited to perform rituals were killed.

The principal was obviously completely desperate.

He knew that with so many murders, Horikawa High School's future prospects were destined to be worrying. As various rumors spread, the future schools became worse and worse.

"Mr. Principal, I need your help in some things. I hope you can cooperate with my work."

Of course, Sakai is not concerned about the future of Horikawa High School or the principal.

He walked to the principal, stared at the pale man on his face, and then spoke out his request.
