Don't play games with crazy vests

Gojo Satoru and the others went to the scene of the No.13 case.

The black and yellow cordon has not been removed yet, and the apartment where the murder case just happened is very deserted. Many people who need to pass by consciously avoid this place, and even some wealthy tenants in the apartment Choose to move.

After all, this panic-stricken serial murder case is really weird.

All kinds of gossip spread on the Internet.

This serial murder case is almost spread as a cult, and it is tinged with occultism. It is no wonder that the users who live in the apartment where the No. 13 case happened are all in danger.

Holding the certificate issued by the relevant department in his hand, Gojo Satoru got the key of the apartment building rented by Kitanojiro from the landlord, took Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi into the apartment, and arrived at the place where the crime happened very smoothly. a scene.

After opening the door, the crime scene that the three saw had not been cleaned up in any way, and still maintained the chaotic appearance of a single man living in it.

Very real, and enough to make people intuitively feel the character of the victim.

——Is a typical Japanese single working person.

Even Edogawa Ranpo could infer the victim's general personality and recent experience just by glancing at the small dining room connected to the open kitchen.

"It's a little weird."

Edogawa Ranpo frowned, thought for a while and then said: "It seems that Kitanojiro has been short of money for a long time."

He adjusted his glasses: "But before he died, Kitanojiro felt that he suddenly became rich for some reason."

"It's not the money you get from winning the lottery or gambling." Edogawa Ranpo bit the chocolate bar and added.

In the open kitchen that can be seen at a glance, there is still half a pack of vegetarian ramen left on the cooking table, and the half-open refrigerator has been blacked out, but you can still see half of it from the convenience store in the empty refrigerator. The rice balls that I can't eat but are reluctant to throw away.

This is the poor point of Kitanojiro.

But there are many strange points, the biggest detail of which is the delivery slip on the table in the living room.

There are almost too many courier orders being stapled together.

You can vaguely see the information on the courier bill, and at a glance, Kitanojiro bought all expensive things.

This is too contradictory.

Gojo Satoru led Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi to the only bedroom in the house.

This bedroom was the first crime scene where the deceased was found.

Although the body has been sent to the dissecting room of the family, the white traces and fixed lines on the bed clearly show the appearance of Kitanojiro's body when it was found after his death.

It was lying on the bed, holding his head in his arms, with a "peaceful" face.

Arriving at the scene of the first crime, Gojo Satoru slowly opened his mouth and revealed the important clues he had: "After Nitzi's anatomical comparison, she found a special energy in the previous twelve corpses."

"Although Glass smokes and drinks, ah, no, she quit smoking recently, but she is a very professional doctor anyway." Gojo Satoru said and nodded: "Her appraisal results are credible."

The corners of Fukuzawa Yukichi's mouth twitched unconsciously.

——I had no doubts about the conclusion, but Gotjo Satoru said that there is no silver 300 taels here. These words completely make people suddenly doubt whether it is reliable or not!

Edogawa Ranpo was not as worried as Fukuzawa Yukichi, he nodded slightly, he was really listening to Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru was actually a little unspeakably nervous, and he started to run the train out of habit.

After saying something casually, Gojo Gojo coughed lightly and pulled back his wandering attention.

"I have come into contact with this kind of energy."

Gojo Satoru didn't say where he came into contact with this strange energy, and the two members of the detective agency didn't ask.

Gojo Satoru travels all over the country and abroad, so it's normal to see more things.

"But the strange thing is that I can confirm that in all of Japan, the last owner of this energy died a few years ago."

The blue eyes hidden behind the blindfold flashed coldly: "Someone is using this energy to make troubles."

Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes.

There was a flash in the emerald green pupils.

He concluded—

Gojo Satoru is telling the truth, the owner of the mysterious power died a few years ago, and the relationship with Gojo Satoru is very unusual.

Ah Wu is a god who can achieve the Wujo Enlightenment of Shenyin Wujo without making a sound.

His power itself has the characteristics of concealment.

If it wasn't for Gojo Satoru being familiar with him, Jiarui Jiazi got a little inspiration from Gojo Satoru and her reversal technique itself was special enough. It can be said that they might not be able to discover the circumstances in these cases.

Gojo Satoru thought about being caught off guard by God again.

He said lightly: "As long as this power is used properly, it is enough to hide everything in the world."

"Why are there only thirteen cases? Another possibility is..."

"Enough energy to cover up the murderer's evidence was exhausted by the murderer."

Japanese with a weird tone came from behind the door.

The three turned around and saw two foreign men wearing black robes with forbidden patterns, obviously like monks from foreign countries.

The older monk held a thick scripture book in his arms, and the assistant who was slightly behind him was obviously younger, holding a long black piano case in his hand.

Wujo Wu raised his eyebrows: "I don't believe in religion, I don't accept preaching, goodbye."

Block the words of the two foreigners directly, and prepare to issue an expulsion order for strange people.

Although Gojo Satoru is also a "guest" of this apartment.

The young assistant had never heard such impolite words. His face drooped obviously, and he opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by the old monk who was one step ahead.

"You may call me John, boy."

The old man with unilateral golden glasses showed a kind smile.

"In fact, after hearing about this strange case in your country, we immediately rushed over from across the ocean."

Old John tried to explain to the three standing in the bedroom that they were not hostile, but just came to help out of humanitarianism.

"I am an ordinary Christian who believes in Catholicism, and I am also an exorcist who was sent to work in Japan this time."

Old John didn't mention his series of shining resumes, but introduced himself as an old man with rich exorcism experience in a down-to-earth manner.

"Exorcist? I thought it was just a job in movies."

Edogawa Ranpo answered curiously.

"Believers don't need to worry about the troubles of demons all the time, so some inside information is enough for us exorcists to know. This is our responsibility, isn't it?"

He even winked mischievously.

It's like ordinary people in Japan wouldn't think that there are serious monster extermination masters in this era.

"In our core church, there have always been sacred objects watching the demons appearing in the world and trying to make trouble. It is our responsibility to stop them."

Old John's gray cloudy eyes were very clear at this moment.

"Originally there were no demons in your country, but just a week ago, while listening to my Lord's warning, the church received a message—"

"A newborn demon is at work in Japan on the other side of the ocean."

"It's our responsibility and I think we should all be looking into it, so wouldn't it be a good thing to cooperate?"

Old John was full of sincerity.

It seemed that this foreign priest had learned a lot about things they didn't know.

That said, everything makes sense.

After such a long time, not only the Japanese police, but even their local forces did not have any breakthrough clues that could come forward to reveal this case.

This case, which had nothing to do with other forces, became more and more famous in the outside world.

Many people have already speculated that this case may be a signal of the emergence of some new force.

Otherwise, it is impossible to imagine such a situation where no one can really find the abnormality.

The presence of Old John explains these anomalies.

——No one is willing to admit that they are useless. Compared with the unknown, they will only accept this field that they are not familiar with, so they are confused.

Old John said the devil was at work.

A professional exorcist came to help.

Because he is a demon who drifted from the west for unknown reasons, the crime he committed used strange power. It is normal for people from other power systems in Japan to find no abnormalities.

"Demons are eloquent bastards. They like to use humans the most, coaxing humans to make deals with their souls."

Old John went on to say: "I feel a strong demonic atmosphere here."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded, he believed what Old John said based on his own judgment, and even sorted out and analyzed it.

He concluded: "If the devil is really of this character, then he should not be far away now."

"If you compare the devil to a human being, then he is a typical anti-social personality criminal, and he is now gleefully monitoring us."

"Faced with such a 'perfect' crime, he will definitely want to see the distressed expression of the investigator to please himself."

Edogawa Ranpo didn't care about these two missionaries who suddenly appeared.

These are just tool people who provide him with clues.

Only Gojo Satoru frowned.

He didn't think it was just a simple incident of demons haunting.

Gojo Satoru accurately caught the loophole in Old John's words.

"The demons came from the west for unknown reasons."

In other words, demons should not exist in Japan.

Gojo Satoru knew that the last time a demon appeared in Japan was more than 100 years ago.

Later, due to some reasons, a large number of missionaries with special abilities and creatures such as demons and vampires left in the West.

There is only one vampire academy that exists in Japan due to some legacy issues.

This problem is actually very serious.

But Old John's attitude is obviously to avoid talking about it.

What's more... Gojo Satoru couldn't let go of the discovery of adding Nitro.

That energy is indeed Ah Wu's.

This is the point Wujo Satoru attaches the most importance to.

After Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning was completed, the number of useful clues increased significantly, and he deduced where the demons should be observing them almost instantly.

——The devil's evil taste, absolutely, absolutely must be observed with the naked eye nearby.

Edogawa Ranpo ran out directly.

It's been a long time since there was such an exciting reasoning case for him.
