[Death] Acacia inkstone

"Mr. Hitsugani, this is the villa." The girl who spoke was wearing a well-tailored police uniform, and her slender figure was well outlined.When she said this, she raised her head slightly, and the soft sunlight shone on her fair cheeks, which made her already beautiful face even more colorful.

Even though the person in front of him was a policewoman from the Karakura Town Police Station, Toshiro didn't look at her very much.He turned all his attention to the mansion a few steps away:

Exquisite wrought iron gates, a three-story western-style building, and a garden designed by professional horticulture.

There is another tragedy.

The pool of blood all over the place could no longer stimulate Dong Shilang's nerves.All he can do is sigh for the dead, and hunt down the murderer with all his strength, and——

Find the whereabouts of Sakurai Kaoru as soon as possible.

The winter plums in the courtyard bloomed exceptionally well, and several branches even stretched beyond the fence, blooming a little bit of crimson wantonly in the winter sunlight.

Dongshiro checked the garden several times, but there was almost nothing there except for the large expanse of sunlight.He remembered that Kaoru Sakurai liked this kind of weather the most.

She has always loved the cold winter sun best.

"A murder occurred in the eastern part of Karakura Town."

Since the Miemen case, Dong Shilang's sleep quality has not been very good.And when he was woken up by a small sound from the living room at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and when he was upset and wanted to go to the balcony to get some air, he saw Kaoru Sakurai who had just put on his coat and was carrying a bag and was about to go out.

He frowned: "When did it happen?"

Sakurai Kaoru waved the mobile phone in his left hand at him: "About half an hour ago."

"Did the captain wake me up?" Seeing him in his pajamas, she smiled apologetically: "My current job is around the clock. You know, I have to be on call at all times. But next time I will Watch out, Captain."

"It's okay." He shook his head, indicating that she doesn't need to care about these things: "Another murder case?"

"Hmm." Sakurai Kaoru nodded: "It was discovered during Huayuan's night patrol. The scene she described was very similar to the previous cases. I think it should be the same person."

"Has the entire criminal investigation team been mobilized?" Toshiro couldn't help but see Takigawa Aoba's thin but sharp back in his mind.

"Huayuan said that she can't contact Takigawa for the time being. But this is the fastest time to find out the case so far. I think maybe the murderer will leave some clues at the scene." Sakurai Kaoru picked up the vertical hanger hanging by the door Putting on the scarf she was wearing, her complexion is not very good, but her mobility has not diminished at all: "Captain, I have to go first. At this time, even arriving at the scene a second earlier is a turning point."

"Captain, just wait for me to come back and bring great progress to the case."

These were the last words she said to Toshiro before leaving the apartment.

Toshiro regretted that he didn't go to the scene with Kaoru Sakurai at that time.

Although he didn't want to believe it, he knew that something unexpected happened to her this time.

Huayuan Izumo is not only outstanding in appearance, but also outstanding in ability.Although Dong Shilang is unfamiliar with her, he has always had a high opinion of her strength.

He originally thought that with her at the scene, Sakurai Kaoru's on-site investigation work should go smoothly.

<<

"Mr. Hitsugaya. Kaoru Sakurai is missing."

When Shiro Dong recalled the call he received from Hua Yuan in the morning, he couldn't believe what he heard was true.

Huayuan told him on the phone that after she and Sakurai Kaoru met in front of the villa where the incident occurred, Sakurai told her to contact Takikawa Aoba, and said that he was very important to the detection of the case.And when she returned to the villa with Takikawa Aoba an hour later, she could no longer find Kaoru Sakurai.

He hung up the phone after saying a few hasty words, then left immediately, rushing to the crime scene against the clock.

The decoration in the villa is quite elegant and exquisite, and it also highlights the cruelty and violence of the murder case.

Dong Shilang bent down to check the red spots on the necks of the corpses one by one, and they were the same as the previous four.Although there were many remains of bullet casings on the floor, and other forensic doctors in the police station also ruled that the cause of death of all the people in this villa was shot, Dongshiro knew very well that those bullet marks must be deception, and their real cause of death was They are all inseparable from the strange erythema.

He felt that Kaoru Sakurai should have inspected these corpses like him.But he still had no idea where she was going.

A similar situation happened two years ago. She intervened in criminal investigation cases in this world without authorization. She obviously didn't have any fighting skills, and she didn't even have a pistol for defense, but she chose to meet the prisoner alone.

If he hadn't read the message she left from the clues and arrived in time, she might really have to be buried under the gun.

And now she is still going her own way, how many lives does she think she has, and can she be squandered like this?

And who swore to him that the incident two years ago would never happen again?

Takigawa Aoba has led other investigators to carry out fingerprint forensics work on the scene, and each instruction is clear, concise and orderly, but he did not express anything special about the disappearance of his subordinate Kaoru Sakurai.

He still does what he did two years ago.

Shiro Dong frowned slightly dissatisfied, and walked towards the basement.

Takigawa Aoba's appearance is eye-catching but his personality is extremely indifferent. His traits are well-known in Mao and even in Seireitei.Naturally, Dong Shilang also knew it, but he was indifferent to the loss of contact with his subordinates, which made Dong Shilang somewhat disagree.

Dongshiro has been the captain for decades, and has experienced countless life-and-death battles. Companions have always been very important to him.Therefore, although he recognized Takigawa Aoba's outstanding ability and extremely high talent, he didn't like his selfish and indifferent behavior style.

But it is such a person who can be taken into consideration by Sakurai Kaoru.

He smiled bitterly in his heart:

Her thoughts are really always unpredictable.

<<

The basement is cold and dark, with a thick layer of dust on the shelves.

Probably because no one has entered for a long time, and no one came to change the light bulb in the basement when it was broken.Dong Shilang turned on the flashlight helplessly, he really did not expect such a luxurious mansion with such a gorgeous exterior decoration to have such a dilapidated and gloomy place.

There was also a thick layer of dust on the floor.This is a good thing for Dongshiro.

He took photos around with the flashlight, and sure enough, he soon found a series of footprints—it should be left by Masaurai Kaoru.

The footprints continued until a bookshelf against the wall.

There is only this series of footprints in the entire basement, and they are all one-way.Toshiro can be sure that there must be a secret room behind this bookshelf, and Kaoru Sakurai is there.

In fact, he had seen similar dark room designs several times when he was in the world of souls. It is not surprising that there are one or two secret rooms in the aristocratic families full of open and secret conflicts.

Dongshiro cast the light on the bookshelf, and took out the few books with the least dust.Accompanied by the creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other, the bookshelf automatically slid to the left, revealing the wall behind it—more precisely, a door with an electronic combination lock.

Due to the protection of the dust cover, there is no trace of dust on the cipher.Their criminal investigation team always needs to wear gloves when they enter the scene, so Sakurai Kaoru's fingerprints will naturally not appear on them.

Even so, it is not difficult for Winter Shiro to obtain the password.

Constantly changing the order of the four keys with the most wear and tear, Shiro Dong quickly tried out the password.

The door lock opened with a click, and an old rusty smell came over the face.

"team leader?"

It was Sakurai Kaoru's voice.

Shiro Dong shone the light following the sound, and sure enough, he saw Kaoru Sakurai squatting on the ground alone, as if he was looking for something.Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief: "We thought you were missing."

Sakurai Kaoru took tweezers and pinched into the cracks of the floor for a long time but found nothing. She raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "The door will automatically close after I come in. There is no signal and sound insulation here. I didn't know you were looking for me." .”

Her disappearance turned out to be a false alarm, and Dongshiro was actually a little angry at her actions.But when she thought that at least she was safe and sound, her mood was a little calmer.

He glanced at Kaoru Sakurai angrily: "You disappeared at the murder scene for several hours, and we couldn't contact you. What do you think we will think?"

A little embarrassment appeared on Sakurai Kaoru's face: "I...haven't really thought about it that way."

Dong Shilang felt that he was a little angry for a while.

"Captain, close the door first."

"Then turn off the light."

Dongshiro gave her a strange look.He didn't see any light when he first entered the secret room, and now she asked him to turn off all the light sources, he really didn't guess what she was up to.

A few seconds later, the small secret room was plunged into darkness.

"It's a good thing I'm not claustrophobic or anything."

"What on earth are you going to do—" Dong Shilang stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. He originally wanted to ask what her intentions were, but when he saw the faint blue light spot gradually brightening in the darkness I understand it myself.

She wanted him to see these faint traces of Reiatsu that had remained for a long time.

"These traces existed a long time ago. You can only see a little bit in complete darkness." Kaoru Sakurai walked up to Dongshiro, and the rustling sound of cloth rubbing was very clear in the silence.

Toshiro tried to perceive the Reiatsu, but he couldn't tell because the remaining Reiatsu was too weak.

With the crisp sound of metal impact, Sakurai Kaoru handed something into his hand: "Reiatsu is attached to this."

Toshiro turned on the flashlight, and saw that what Kaoru Sakurai handed him was a shackle with a half chain attached.He weighed it, and felt that it was heavier than ordinary iron: "This material...seems very special."

"Captain, do you feel that the shackles give people the feeling, a bit like the murderous stone in Jinglingting?" Sakurai Kaoru whispered in his ear.

Winter Shiro nodded.The murderous aura stone is a special material used to suppress the spiritual pressure in the prison, and the shackles in his hand can absorb and retain the spiritual pressure for hundreds of years. It can be seen that in terms of performance, it should be more effective than the murderous aura stone. More than anything.

"This is not something in this world." Kaoru Sakurai said lightly, and the voice came from the darkness: "It is impossible for all iron objects in this world to last for such a long time without decay."
