Chapter 313 Reading Records
"Today is the last day."

In Endo's room.

Hearing Shimada's description of last night's experience, Endo in front of him reminded him in an extremely calm tone.

"what?"

Hearing these words from Endo's mouth, Shimada's face was a bit astonished.

But he quickly realized that the expression on his face became paler.

"You mean..."

Nodding, Endo stared at Shimada in front of him: "The other party crawled into your room and delivered the last suicide note, which means that today is the last day mentioned in the suicide note, 'I, Shimada' both One of them is bound to die."

"No, I don't believe it."

On the opposite side, Endo explained everything in an almost indifferent voice.

However, Shimada's face was full of excitement.

"This is just a suicide note. Maybe the other party is a perverted lunatic. Just call the police and arrest him. Why, why did this happen to me."

Shimada is just an ordinary high school student, and under the threat of life and death, it is not too surprising to collapse.

"..."

In the room, Endo watched all this indifferently.

He looked at Shimada, who was covering his head with a look of despair, and an inexplicable smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

tuk tuk-

"Shimada-kun, I have your phone number."

However, just as Shimada was on the verge of despair, there was a knock on the door by Endo's mother from outside the room.

Pushing open the door, she looked at Shimada with a look of despair and Endo who was watching coldly, with a look of astonishment on her face.

After being disturbed by Endo's mother, Shimada did not collapse after all.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his chaotic emotions, and then looked at Endo's mother outside the door, and asked with a pale smile.

"Whose call is it, Mama Endo?"

"It's not very clear."

Seeing Endo's mood gradually stabilized, the worry on Endo's mother's face was a little less, she shook her head and replied.

"In short, the other party named you and said they were looking for you. They should be people who know you well, maybe your family members."

Hearing Endo's mother's answer, Shimada went downstairs with some doubts in his heart.

"Hi, I'm Shimada..."

When he came to the phone, he took a deep breath before reaching out to pick up the receiver.

"Run away!"

However, when Shimada picked up the phone, a hurried voice came from the microphone.

"The person you saw is not the real Endo!"

……

"Officer Sakai, everything you want should be here."

Horikawa High School.

Taking Sakai to a slightly old library, the principal pointed to the books and materials on the bookshelf and carefully explained.

"This is the library of the old school building. After the new teaching building was built, the teacher in charge moved most of the books to the library of the new teaching building. Most of the books left in the old school building were Some reference books that have nothing to do with teaching or materials that have been eliminated, some of which are orphans left over from the early days of the school. When the school celebrated a few years ago, the school originally planned to find the history of Horikawa High School from it, but because some things happened The accident was not completed, but these were sorted out and placed separately in the library of the old school building..."

In the library, while listening to the principal's introduction, Sakai glanced at the books on the bookshelf that were obviously filled with history.

Before, from "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes", he had noticed some unusual descriptions about Horikawa High School.

However, "Kyoto Miscellaneous Notes" records the rumors of the entire Kyoto, and the content of Horikawa High School is only about the female corpse.

Sakai wanted more detailed records about Horikawa High School, so naturally he could only start with the school itself.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Principal."

Nodding his head, he said something to the principal beside him, and Sakai immediately withdrew his gaze and put it back on the books in the library.

"Then, Officer Sakai, if there is no business for me, can you allow me to leave for a while? Regarding what happened at Horikawa High School, I still need to report the situation to the school's board of directors."

Looking at Sakai who was flipping through the books in front of him, the principal hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said.

Such a big thing happened in Horikawa High School, he naturally needs to report it to the board of directors.

Facing the principal's request, Sakai did not answer, but just nodded his head as a tacit consent to his request.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Officer Sakai."

After being allowed, the principal heaved a sigh of relief. He bowed to Sakai in the library to thank him, and then hurriedly left the old school building.

In the library, with the principal leaving.

The entire library of the old school building fell into silence again.

But in this silent library, Sakai focused on the books in his hand.

Although the principal mentioned that most of the materials have been moved to the library of the new teaching building, there are still a lot of books left in the old school building. If it is not because of the school celebration, the school has already sorted it out in advance. Sakai alone wants to find useful information from these books for investigation, that is to find a needle in a haystack.

Turn the pages of the book in your hand and look at the content recorded on it.

Soon, Sakai found some useful information for him.

According to the "Horikawa Ancient Records" in his hand, since ancient times, the place of Horikawa seems to have been popular with ghosts. The earliest strange talk about Horikawa was in the Edo period. It is said that Horikawa was ravaged by ghosts at that time. Many murders often occurred due to the relationship between them. The people living here were very disturbed at that time, so they pooled money and invited an onmyoji to deal with it. After the onmyoji eliminated the ghosts, Horikawa's theory of ghosts gradually dissipated.

Regarding the homicide of ghosts and ghosts, due to historical reasons, Sakai could not judge whether it was really all done by ghosts or someone pretended to be ghosts after the murder.

However, it can be seen from "Horikawa Koki" that Horikawa has had some special features since the Edo period.

Perhaps those onmyojis wiped out the ghosts at that time, or the ghosts disappeared without a trace for some reason.

But, again for unknown reasons, now they're back again.

Closing the "Horikawa Koji" in his hand, Sakai began to look for the content of the next book without stopping.

The books and materials sorted out by Horikawa High School are very complicated, and not all of them are useful for Sakai's investigation. In the book, I saw several records about Horikawa High School.
