[Death] Acacia inkstone

When Sakurai Kaoru walked slowly to the dining table with a cup of black coffee, everyone else had already started eating.

She gently put the exquisitely crafted white porcelain cup on the table, and glanced at Dong Shilang who was eating toast with some resentment: "Captain, why didn't you call me when you left? I was the last one to arrive again." .”

Dong Shilang glanced at the huge dark circles on her face: "I've knocked on the door."

"There is no one who can wake someone up just by knocking on the door." Kaoru Sakurai gave him a disdainful look, clearly saying in his eyes, "Captain, you are so inconsiderate of your subordinates, what you did is too much."

"what!"

Suddenly there was a scream in the dining room, the voice was high-pitched and piercing.Sakurai Kaoru was taken aback and almost dropped the fork on the ground.

After a crackling sound of broken porcelain, Rina Takeuchi stood up in a panic, bent down and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, I was too careless and broke the teacup. I'll go clean it up right away."

There are still bloodshot eyes in her eyes, it can be seen that she didn't sleep well last night.

She was about to squat down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, when Huayuan Izumo quickly took the broom over and said, "Rina, let me clean this place. You scratched your hands so carefully."

Rina Takeuchi raised her head with a dazed expression, and after a while she quickly stood up and nodded, "Thank you, Izumo."

Hua Yuan smiled softly at her, his pretty face became more gentle and charming: "Your nails are so beautifully painted, it would be a pity to be scratched by a broken teacup."

Rina Takeuchi has always been unsociable, coupled with her ordinary appearance, it is rare to hear people praise her.Looking down at the rose-dyed nails, she smiled from the bottom of her heart: "You are so kind, this nail polish was actually given to me by Lingmei when she came back from her last vacation."

When everyone was seated again and began to eat, the previously stagnant atmosphere eased.However, everyone here seemed to have reached a consensus invisibly, and they never mentioned what happened last night.

But Sakurai Kaoru was born to be a spoiler, since they all avoided it, she insisted on mentioning it.

But God still didn't give her this chance, because by coincidence, Rina Takeuchi's cell phone rang.

London bridge is falling down,

falling down, falling down.

London bridge is falling down,

myfairlady.

……

Rina Takeuchi's face became extremely terrified when she heard the song ringing again, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone to cut off the ringing, then rushed out the door like crazy without saying a word.

"Listening to the sound, it seems like she knocked over four chairs before reaching the entrance..." Kaoru Sakurai stuffed the rest of the toast into his mouth: "Um...and broke a vase."

Dongshiro turned his eyes back to the dining table from the direction where Rina Takeuchi disappeared. Everyone was obviously frightened by the ringing of the bell, and no one spoke for a while.

"Rina, she... did you change the ringtone to this?" Kaga Yiren had a stiff smile on his face. Although as a male policeman, he has always been quite courageous, but now that people are panicking, he can't help but be caught. The atmosphere was somewhat infected.

"No way..." Akiyama Suzumi snuggled into his arms tightly, her face pale.

"Could it be Rina's prank?" Compared with the others, Huayuan Izumo seemed a little calmer, but still showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Probably not." The speaker's name is Ikeda Kazuki, an old man in his 50s. Although his hair is half white, he is in good spirits: "Miss Hua Yuan, you are not in our team. You may not know it. Ms. Takeuchi is introverted, I think it is impossible for her to direct and act in all of this."

"That may not be the case." Nishiura Iwata still looks like an elegant and noble successful person: "When I was dancing with Ms. Takeuchi yesterday, she told me that she was actually looking forward to our vacation on Datura Island."

"She said that she actually likes exciting games, but she doesn't know everyone well, so she didn't show this side to us."

Akiyama Suzumi finally regained her composure, and she let out a breath: "Maybe it's true, anyway, since the recording last night, she alone had the most intense reaction."

<<

"Captain, I finally remembered why I think the name Datura Island is very familiar." Kaoru Sakurai took out a small knife from nowhere and began to peel apples.

She is the one who most looks like a tourist among this group of people.No, according to her temperament, she was originally here to travel.

Thinking of this, Shiro Dong feels that he has always been helpless recently.

"Datura." She continued to peel the apple freely, with a smooth gesture, as if she didn't notice the gazes from the whole table to her: "It means Datura."

"The translation of this island is actually called Mandala Island. I remember that Mandala has another name——"

"—the angel's horn."

Kaoru Sakurai paused when she was peeling the apple, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Captain, you actually know this?"

Shiro Dong ignored her exaggerated expression, and looked at the others with a serious expression: "There is a line in yesterday's recording that says 'the angel's horn will sound from this moment'. Maybe it refers to the mandala."

The atmosphere that was finally eased became tense again in an instant, everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme, and if there was a little more sparks, it would explode.

Kaoru Sakurai took a bite of the apple unhurriedly. She just likes to stir up troubles: "In Western legends, mandala blooms near the execution ground, recording every moment when life gradually disappears like a calm bystander. .Therefore, it also represents unpredictable death and love, and is the cursed flower."

"Ah." Sakurai Kaoru looked at the atmosphere that exploded in an instant, and smiled comfortably: "I shouldn't talk about this at this time, I'm so sorry everyone——"

Before she finished speaking, she was dragged out of the hall by Dongshiro.

"Captain, you can be so rough sometimes." Kaoru Sakurai took his forearm back from the captain's hand. His movement was a bit rough just now, and the place where he grabbed it was still painful.

"You really think it's still a prank?" he asked her with a hint of exasperation in his voice.You know, here is the culprit of the murder case, and after the recording incident last night, he felt even more strange.But she still acted like a normal person.

He had a premonition in his heart that this trip in name was likely to develop in an uncontrollable direction in the end, which was dangerous and unpredictable.

"Otherwise?" Sakurai Kaoru really didn't take these things to heart. The environment setting of a group of people besieging an isolated island is actually a very common mystery novel routine.She thought it was reasonable to interpret this as a deliberate survival game.

"Look at Takeuchi rushing out in such a panic just now, no one chased her immediately. It's clear that this is just a game."

Dong Shilang also noticed this, but he always felt that there seemed to be a delicate relationship between those people in the criminal investigation team.He felt that they were actually a very loose group, which had to be maintained due to some ulterior factors.

"It's too early to draw conclusions now." He frowned, the sun shone on him, but it made him more cold and serious: "You have to be more careful——"

"--what--"

There was another scream, and Kaoru Sakurai almost felt that they were here to explore a haunted house.

She tilted her head to observe the captain's reaction, but only saw his back pulling away.

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?" She complained in a low voice, and walked slowly towards the source of the screams, and gnawed on a tooth of watermelon as she walked through the hall.

<<

Akiyama Suzumi fell to the ground, tears of fright rolled down her face, her makeup was already worn out.

One or two steps away from her, Toshiro reached out and pressed Takeuchi Rina's carotid artery.

The person who was obviously seen not long ago has turned into a lifeless corpse at this moment.Her eyes were wide open, her face was twisted and convulsed, and her mobile phone was dropped not far from her, probably she was using it before she died.

Dong Shilang was about to take the phone over to have a look, but was snatched away by a white hand.

"There is a new message." Kaoru Sakurai lit up the screen and glanced at it with interest.

"This is evidence." Shiro Dong stood up and patted the dirt on his body, reminding her to put the phone in a transparent bag quickly, so as not to destroy the original fingerprints.

Kaoru Sakurai didn't mind, instead, he swipe the screen to enter the password.The phone vibrated slightly in her hand, and her expression looked a bit worried: "Well...the password is not her birthday."

Although she always ignored his words, Shiro Dong still felt a little annoyed: "Sakurai, this is evidence."

"Captain, it's useless. We might all be dead by the time the police arrive." When she said this, she was still staring at the screen intently, and she tapped several sets of numbers one after another, but they were all incorrect.

"What can we do? Takeuchi adjusted the text message to a mode where the content is not displayed on the screen. There is no need to pay attention to privacy so much, right?"

Dong Shilang couldn't help but slander: Only in this way can we prevent people like you who don't pay attention to other people's privacy.

"Huh?" Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she stared straight at Akiyama Suzumi who was still sitting on the ground in a panic and didn't recover: "Akiyama, when is your boyfriend's birthday?"

"August 8th." Akiyama Suzumi seemed to have lost her soul. Although she answered smoothly, she didn't immediately realize what she said.

Kaoru Sakurai hurriedly entered 0811, and she unlocked the password just like that.The lock screen picture used a seascape picture with high sky and wide clouds, the password was someone else's boyfriend's birthday, and the desktop picture turned out to be Takikawa Aoba's profile face.

Rina Takeuchi would be such a person, completely beyond her expectations.

The skill of pretending to be pure is really not shallow, and it is really hard to judge people by appearances.Kaoru Sakurai snorted coldly and opened the message.

Builditupwithwoodandclay,

Wood and clay, wood and clay,

Builditupwithwoodandclay,

My fair lady.

Wood and clay will washaway,

Washaway,washaway,

Wood and clay will washaway,

My fair lady.

The weird singing sounded again, but it was different from the previous two times. This time the tune was obviously brisk, and the voice was not ethereal, but rather nice.

Sakurai Kaoru raised his head, and smiled awkwardly at the crowd who cast their eyes one after another:

"Sorry, I couldn't help but started singing while I was reading."
