Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

Sure enough, there is No.3 missing person...

Akiya, who confirmed this information from Officer Keibe's phone call, gritted his teeth, put it away, looked at Natsume, and found the key to his house from the inside of the schoolbag: "Natsume, I have to leave early with Dazai now, Kosuke and Shinji..."

"Please rest assured and leave it to me," Natsume took the key from Shuya, raised his head and said seriously, "I will send them home properly."

The house he rented in Yokohama is just across from Sakuraniwa's house, so it's not a problem at all to take the two kids who just finished tennis training camp with them when they go back today.

"Then I'll trouble you, there are still some egg tarts in the refrigerator that can be used as snacks." Standing up from the seat, Shuya walked towards Dazai who was waiting in the corridor after hearing that he was going to continue working, waved casually In order to wave goodbye to Natsume and Natori, "I will leave first, and I will treat you and Mr. Kitty to have a snack when I am free next time."

And when he is free, he has to discuss with Xingsuke what is going on with the strange name of the "Autumn Straight Ball" move.

When Qiuya took Dazai back to the large warehouse garden area that he found at noon, the Minour police officer who contacted him was already standing at the door waiting for him.

"Officer Jipu, how is the current search situation?" Qiu Ye ran forward to join the police officer, and then nodded to the security guard who was two taller than him at the door this morning. , passed the entrance of the warehouse park in front of him, "Have you determined which warehouse they went to after entering?"

There are many warehouses in this warehouse garden, and Qiu Ya could only confirm that they went in before, but did not confirm which one they walked into.

"Temporarily confirm that the warehouse where they last appeared is the warehouse with the number C13. It is full of sports equipment. It is obviously a modified training ground." Minpu led Qiuya to the C13 warehouse, pushed the door open and walked in. It's a warehouse full of investigators looking for evidence of tiny hairs.He looked behind Qiu Ye, "This is..."

Sakuraba was the only member of the Armed Detective Agency who came from Yokohama this morning. However, apart from him, there was a tall, thin man in a beige trench coat behind him.

"He's also a member of the Armed Detective Agency, so he's my senior." Knowing that Police Officer Minura wanted to keep the case confidential, Qiu also explained in this way to prevent outsiders from knowing more information.

"Ah, so..." Jipu looked at the tall young man with casual movements and said with emotion in a young voice.This man is more like a protector or guardian than Sakuraniwa's senior.

"Ah——Is the relationship between Shuya and I just senior and junior—" Dazai, who had squatted down after entering the warehouse and explored on the equipment, complained in a drawn-out voice.

"Well, it's still my boyfriend." Qiu Ye said in a flat tone, and added another sentence as if nothing had happened, and then squatted down to check the situation in the warehouse.

Inexplicably, I felt like I was being loved by the Jipu police department who showed off his face: "..."

"Cough--" The middle-aged uncle cleared his throat, took the floor plan of the warehouse from the inspector and began to examine it carefully.

From this point of view, the reasoning that this man is the protector of Yingting is still correct, and he is still considered a treasured sword.

"Warehouse C13 has been rented out since the end of June. Because of the consideration of the safety of customers, the manager of this warehouse company has not come to check it for a month and a half. Therefore, logically speaking, there will only be missing people in this warehouse. and traces left by the suspect.”

Officer Jipu looked at the file form that he had just retrieved with the search warrant and said to the two members of the detective agency, "Now the job of the investigators is mainly to collect the hairs left in the warehouse, and compare them to determine whether the two missing persons are left behind or not." and whether there is any hair left by the suspect."

"Then once it's confirmed, the result should be almost out, right?" Qiu Ye looked at the document in Officer Jipu's hand and blinked.

"Well, although it is possible to compare it, it is still unknown whether the prisoner can be found, Xiao Qiuya," Dazai answered him. Qiu also answered for him, "Finding the DNA of the third person here can indeed confirm that he is a criminal, but if he has not committed crimes before, the police department will not include his DNA file."

And if there is no sufficient evidence, even if you meet a suspect, the other party may refuse to provide your own hair for comparison.In this way, if no evidence is found, even if DNA is found here, it will be useless.

"That's it..." Qiuya scratched his chin, looked at the police officer who was nodding helplessly in agreement with Dazai's words, and asked the next question: "Is there any record of the identity of the person who leased the warehouse? A pseudonym, but maybe you can get a clue from it?"

After all, this case was originally classified as the two athletes who couldn't think about it. They ran away from home and disappeared voluntarily. Maybe the suspect will show a little negligence here.

"It's obviously a pseudonym, and it's not a name at all," Minura handed over the document in his hand to Qiuya to check, pointing to the grid on the renter's identity, "Look, it says "Natsu (なつ)" , The other party didn't even use the name to rent, just the code name. "

Qiu Ye frowned when he heard this title, looked down at the document to confirm that the Chinese character for 'Xia' written on it was indeed summer, and repeated it softly: "... Xia (なつ)?"

Does this word have any special meaning to the prisoner, or... his name itself has this word?

"Ah, I basically know what kind of person the kidnapper is."

Just when Qiu Ye frowned more and more deeply, and kept looking at the Chinese character for "Xia" and began to tangle with himself, a voice from beside him interrupted his thinking, and he came back after wandering around the entire warehouse Dazai.

"Just now I looked around and confirmed two good news." The man stretched out his hand in front of Police Officer Keibe, smoothed Qiu Ya's frown, and then looked at the police officer with a tangled expression as if he had done nothing just now Sir, "The first good news is that the two missing athletes should not be dead by now."

"...Why?" Minura asked hard to break away from the scene of being shown to love.

"Obviously isn't it? The on-site inspection did not show any blood, but the ground and the large amount of dry water on the sports equipment turned out to be salt, that is, the sweat of the two athletes—they were lured to this place on their own initiative. Training." Dazai stretched out his hand and tapped the surface of the equipment that still had white crystals, and then wiped it on Minbe's police uniform with a look of disgust, "That's the abductor who brought Sato and Suzuki here to carry out a large number of Not the physical training on their training list."

After all, for these two athletes who have just suffered setbacks and are in the cooling-off period given by the coach, it is very easy to succeed in persuading people to come over with the reason of "new look in the next game".

Dazai looked around, looked at the equipment that was obviously sweating a lot and said, "The prisoner should be a person who has suffered setbacks and can no longer continue as an athlete, but at the same time he doesn't have a coaching certificate or something, that's why he is here. would do such a thing.”

Probably also an enthusiastic person who wants to help others continue to compete on the road-but this method is obviously wrong.

Shuya thought for a while and followed Dazai's train of thought, then tried to say, "Does that prove that the prisoner was also an athlete before, or at least had received competitive training before?"

So he has the self-confidence that he can become a coach, and even this warehouse training ground may have been rented out by him for his own use at the beginning.

"Bingo~" Dazai hugged Qiuya from behind and said to the police officer, then stretched out his index finger and waved in front of Minura, "Looking at the amount of dust, the prisoner took the two athletes away for more than a week. It is estimated that they were caught by the Internet. Scared by rumors of 'Shen Yin', I was worried that I would be found and left."

After all, some of the traces left at the scene indicated that the prisoner felt "cowardly" inside - for example, the six-meter-high window next to the warehouse was completely out of reach of humans, and the windows that could not pass through were tightly sealed with tape .

"So, is there any way to quickly identify the 'fake coach'?" Jipu sighed, and looked at the man who had reasoned about the case not long after he arrived at the scene, "In fact, the profiler of our city police Tell the same reasoning as you, saying that the prisoner should be tall, strong, and have competitive experience or something. But there is still no way to immediately lock his current position, right?"

Although the two athletes are not in danger for the time being, they still need to find their location quickly-after all, under unscientific training, it is easy to ruin their competitive career.And they are still very young, and their life dreams have just begun.

"This is the second piece of good news." Dazai smiled and stretched out his middle finger, making a gesture of 'two'. "As long as one of the consecutive cases is found out, the rest will be revealed."

Under the puzzled expression of Police Officer Minoura, "What are you talking about", Dazai smiled and lowered his head to look at Qiuya who had learned something in his arms, and also smiled, "The third disappearance The case happened in Yokohama, which is more than half an hour's drive from Tokyo, so this 'disappearing athlete case' will be classified as the Yokohama City Police, right?"

"Ah, that's true," Minoura nodded, "Now because the third case did happen on August 8th, which is the same date as Sakuraba speculated before, so I reluctantly classify that case as serial abduction. .Although it is easier to classify it into our city police department in Yokohama, but what happened?"

In Minura's eyes, this 'convenience' is simply the difference of being able to issue a search warrant more quickly and no longer needing to apply for a few hours.

"After all, Yokohama is where the office of our armed detective agency is located," Shuya said. "Although I am not as good as Ranpo-senpai who went to Hokkaido on a business trip, I still have some confidence in Yokohama."

After all, it took him more than a month to leave information on the intelligence network that only he could read in the streets of Yokohama.

"...If you are sure that there are no more clues you need here, then we will rush back first," Jipu said, looking at the couple who smiled confidently inexplicably, "It will take some time for the trace inspection department to compare the hair. The results will be sent back to Yokohama directly. And now at the Yokohama Police Station, my subordinates are doing their best to keep the informant waiting for me to go back."

After all, the Yasui police department followed Edogawa Ranpo of the detective agency on a business trip, and he also came to Tokyo early this morning to investigate the case, so there are not many people who can make decisions there, and they can only wait for him to go back.

"Well, I don't know any information about the third athlete." Qiu also nodded, agreeing with this opinion.

When he returned to Yokohama with Dazai in the police car, Qiuya actually thought that the rest of the disappearance case was to find out the coach who did not have a coach certificate but trained people indiscriminately, and those who were overtrained The task ends when the athlete finds out.

However, what he didn't expect was that after returning to the Yokohama Police Station, he encountered unexpected things in his first step.

All the people who came to report the case were people he had seen before. Qiu Ye's eyes passed by those three people one by one, and finally fell on the sporty college student standing next to his cousin who he was most familiar with among the three. .

"West City...?"
