Lu Xin turned on the flashlight and shone it: "Really...really hurt."

"Both of you are bleeding." She searched her bag for a tissue and pressed on Baijiu's arm to stop the bleeding.

"what!!!"

Ms. Little Orange suddenly screamed.

"where!?"

"How are you!?"

"Excuse me, what happened to you?!"

Relying on the sound just now, Lu Xin determined Xiao Cheng's location. Soon, she locked her position and shone the light on her.

Ms. Xiaocheng looked horrified, with a long wound suddenly appearing on her face, and blood was dripping on the ground with a faint sound.

She looked at her blood-stained hands and was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She just stood there stupidly.

Could it be that... the one who did all this was Kamaitachi! ?

After a while, Lu Xin and Baijiu calmed everyone down and took them back to the hotel in an orderly manner, giving priority to bandaging their wounds.

"Are you still in pain?" Lu Xin looked at Baijiu with heartache.

Baijiu waved his hand and sat up straight: "This kind of minor injury is nothing to me."

Baijiu took Lu Xin's fair hands and warmed her with his hot palms: "As long as you are not hurt, it's fine."

"He Ye, are you sure you want to call the police?" Heiji looked at the time.

"Yeah!" He Ye bandaged Xiao Cheng's wound: "The police just said that they will be here soon."

Xiaolan asked sincerely: "But will the police really believe that we were attacked by a sickle-weasel?"

"Whether they believe it or not, they don't care." Xiao Cheng said tremblingly, "At least three people were injured."

Xiaolan comforted: "But don't worry, this is Gunma Prefecture."

“But it should be under the management of Nagano Prefecture, so the people coming should be the Nagano Prefectural Police.”

Why do I feel like... I'm going to see that confused policeman again.

Because logically speaking, hasn't Nagano Prefecture been busy with the press conference on the Woman in Red, a major case that spanned fifteen years?

"Boom boom boom!"

The proprietress knocked on the door and poked her little head out.

"Um, the police are here."

"Hi!!" The hurried footsteps became louder and louder.

"I am Officer Yamamura from Gunma Prefecture! I will be making my official debut here from now on!"

Heiji half-closed his eyes and covered his forehead helplessly: "Shouldn't this be considered under the management of Nagano Prefecture?"

Shancuncao introduced it energetically: "Because this place is located right at the junction of two counties, it is actually under our jurisdiction!"

"What? Officer Yamato, Officer Morobushi, and that beautiful sister officer didn't come..."

Kazuha and Xiaolan sighed, their expressions clearly showing disappointment.

"I thought I could meet the beautiful police officer Yui." Lu Xin also followed up with a symbolic sentence.

"Etc., etc!"

Yamamura Cao stepped forward and questioned, "What do you mean by being so disappointed?"

He straightened his back and said proudly, "Since the monster is Kamaitachi, then it's just my turn as a monster hunter!"

"Did Yamamura Cao come out personally?"

The room was completely silent, everyone was watching Shancuncao silently going crazy as if he was a fool.

He put his hands behind his back and walked around the room: "However, in this scientific age, we can take the orbital elevator and go to space."

"Things like the so-called sickle-weasel simply cannot exist."

"Well, now, everyone, please take me to the warehouse that you claim was attacked by the kamaitachi."

His face inexplicably turned red with shame, and he pouted his lips, looking at them with a sly expression: "Anyway, it's probably you who made a mistake."

Led by the proprietress, they returned to the room that had just been attacked.

"You came to this warehouse looking for an ancient sickle, and this light bulb broke."

"In the darkness, someone took advantage of this opportunity to cut Mr. Yiyu's arm and the back of the hand of the young boy with an Osaka accent."

"As for the writer, Ms. Xiaocheng, her left cheek was scratched in an instant."

"Yes." Xiao Cheng glared at him fiercely: "So can you please stop shining the flashlight on me!"

Yamamura Tsao was unmoved, he just moved the light source slightly downwards: "Did anyone hold a blade or something like that in their hands at that time?"

Xiaocheng rolled his eyes and looked at Shancuncao impatiently.

Dalang seemed to sense the tense atmosphere and gestured with his hand, “Basically, the ancient sickle was in my hand at the time.”

"When I found it and held it in my hand, the light bulb broke."

"Oh!!" Shancuncao suddenly realized.

"Then this must be your doing, right?"

"I advise you to tell the truth. It will be beneficial to both you and me if you confess your guilt early."

Shancuncao frowned: "You swung the sickle in the dark, and then——"

"Stop!" Baijiu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and said coldly, raising his injured arm: "If he really swung like that, I wouldn't have suffered such a minor injury."

"To put it bluntly, I might end up in the ICU right now."

Lu Xin calmly analyzed: "In that case, why not investigate and see if there is any blood on the sickle."

"You don't have to tell me that. I will certainly investigate."

Yamamura Cao added: "But at that time, was there someone standing next to the light bulb, waiting for an opportunity to break it?"

Baijiu snorted coldly: "It is possible, but I didn't see it."

"No one." Lu Xin tied her hair into a ponytail and pointed to the back: "The three of us were standing at the entrance at that time."

"Everyone was staring at the sickle that was found not long ago before the light bulb broke."

"I see..." Shancun Cao covered his chin and thought: "Is there only one light bulb?"

"No." The boss lady explained: "There is another light bulb next to the entrance, but when I came into the warehouse today, I found that it was not on."

Yamamura Cao crossed his arms and said, "Come to think of it, this warehouse wasn't originally locked, right?"

"Yes, because the door of the warehouse itself is already very dilapidated, and it can only be used for storage at most."

"It's just old, discarded rice that's scheduled to be disposed of."

Baijiu raised a doubt: "But, isn't that sickle worth 10 million? Why......"

"That's just what my late husband said. The old man thought it was just ordinary scrap metal."

"Because a few days ago, the warehouse was robbed by thieves again."

"So I was planning on getting a new door and adding a lock."

Then again...why haven't I seen the old man?
