"Is it really impossible to return to normal life?"

【You are dead】

"I hate trouble."

【You are dead】

"It's really mechanized, forget it, do you have any other functions?"

[Energy can be used to create a blank identity card]

"do you have anything else?"

【Blank ID card】

"Ah, I see, I see..." Leaning against the wall of the balcony, Miyazaki Tomomori lowered his eyes and smiled at the busy crowd below, "I am very good at changing and distorting, but ah -"

He instantly gave up on himself, "I'm really not good at talking to people, bondage or anything like that doesn't suit me at all, let's change the task!"

Miyazaki Tomomori is dead, he himself knows this very well, the probability of death in a plane crash is almost 100%, even he himself gave up struggling, who knows that he is bound by a system when he is about to die, it is this system that is too mechanical , a troublesome batch.

Asking him to change the world line without telling him what the original world line looks like, and there is still a bond——

How could a guy like him who died without anyone mourning him be bound? This is definitely embarrassing him!

"How much energy is there? How many identity cards can be created?"

[One thousand, you can create a blank identity card...]

"Is there nothing else? What if the vest overturns later?"

[Your ability command can solve this problem, and please note that the character setting on the identity card will affect the role you play...]

"I know, I know..." Tomomori Miyazaki replied with a drawn-out voice in his heart, "I will do it."

What is the most important thing about an organization?Except the heart is the brain.

Thinking about the lack of Hao in this inexplicable world, he said with a bad taste.

"The first name should be Keigo Higashino."

"An organization is called a law."

……

The ground was covered with heavy snow in winter, and a murder in a closed room occurred in the hotel. The modus operandi was very similar to that of the devil more than ten years ago.

The police detective in Osaka walked to the door of the hotel and took a puff of a cigarette irritably. He looked at the emotionally ups and downs next to him and comforted him: "Not every case can be investigated clearly."

"But senior, this murderer has been out for more than ten years, we, we haven't found him yet." The policeman said sobbingly, "When will my mother be rehabilitated?"

"There will be such a day." The detective looked at the gloomy sky and said with a sigh.

The serial murderer Button, who has been silent for a long time in Osaka and committed 14 murders in [-], has appeared again. I don’t know if he can be arrested this time.

"Senior, can you really be sure that Button is the one who committed the crime this time? Is it really him? Didn't it mean that he has gone silent?"

"Ah, that's right, I'm sure it's him..." Throwing the cigarette butts into the trash can, the police detective said, "The other party is targeting women in white shirts, and the first button on their chests has also been taken away." , even the modus operandi is exactly the same.”

"That's it, that's it." The policeman named Murakami clenched his fists and leaned against the wall, lowering his head and muttering, "Mother..."

"Murashita, Murashita, come here."

"Ah, I'm here." Murakami restrained her emotions, nodded to the senior next to her, and walked in.

"You are Murakami, right?"

"Yes, yes." Murashita Qing held his breath and looked at the dark-skinned person next to him, his eyes lit up instantly, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Hattori Heiji?"

Hattori Heiji is a high-student detective in Osaka. He is as famous as Kudo Shinichi. The two are collectively called "Kudo in Kanto, Hattori in Kansai". They are quite famous detectives.

"Ah, I'm Hattori Heiji."

Somewhat uncomfortable with the overly enthusiastic eyes of the other party, Hattori Heiji lowered his hat and coughed lightly and asked, "I heard that you are responsible for recording the statement, so I want to ask if you have any clues that you missed."

"Clues..." Murashita Qing scratched her head, with a hesitant look on her face, and said after a while, "I always feel that the guest at 20 seems to have some clues."

"20, it's next door to the victim, and his name is Keigo Higashino."

"Ah, yes."

When Hattori Heiji passed by, Mr. Keigo Higashino was leaning against the wall and smoking a cigarette, with a casual expression on his face like a bored pedestrian waiting for a tram, without the tension of being at the scene of a murder at all.

The fine black hair was attached to the other person's forehead, and he seemed to have noticed Hattori Heiji's gaze. He pushed his black glasses and looked over calmly.

What kind of sight is that, like a god in the sky is scrutinizing a mortal, plain and sharp, as if seeing through a person's soul with one glance.

"Is this the legendary boy detective Hattori Heiji?" Keigo Higashino stubbed out the cigarette, as if he had finally found something, his black eyes lit up instantly, a polite smile appeared on his face, but his actions Quite boldly came over.

Obviously, when we met for the first time, he seemed to be a calm and rational person who handles interpersonal relationships quite well, but when he really got along and talked, he was like a child.

Hattori Heiji's personality is also quite cheerful, so he didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Mr. Keigo Higashino, I heard that you seem to have some clues that you didn't say."

"Ah, it's not a clue..." Higashino Keigo looked up at the camera in the corridor and asked, "Did you find the suspect in the surveillance video?"

"How do you know?" Murakami asked in surprise.

They all talked downstairs about the case. After cross-examination, the hotel guests asked them to return to their bedrooms to wait for the arraignment. How did this guy know the situation.

"Isn't it normal to know?" Seemingly not expecting Ao Murashita to ask such a simple question, Higashino Keigo said naturally, "If there are suspects, you should allocate part of the police force to hunt them down now, instead of wasting time here .”

"That's true, may I ask if you are a detective?" Heiji Hattori has not met such a keen guy for a long time. When he saw Keigo Higashino at first glance, he felt as if he had seen a template in a book. detective.

"Yes." Higashino Keigo raised his eyebrows, diluting the indifferent aura on his body, as if he had finally found someone who could understand each other, and the other party said straightforwardly, "There is no need to look for the surveillance video, there is nothing in the surveillance video. There may be a suspect."

"Why do you say that?" Xu was overwhelmed by Keigo Higashino's natural tone before, Murashita Ao unconsciously put on the honorific.

"I heard the lady next door open the window yesterday."

"Clam?"

"I was just packing up my things and preparing to leave when I heard the waiter screaming, so I was the second one to arrive at the scene of the crime. The heating was turned on in room 206, so it is impossible for the victim to open the window for no reason. "

While talking about Keigo Higashino, he led the two people who followed him unconsciously to Room 206.

"The victim's residence is on the second floor. In addition, the hotel has not installed central air conditioners for a long time. They are equipped with ordinary hanging air conditioners. The exposed exterior of the air conditioners is a good rock climbing point."

Hattori Heiji asked, "You mean the prisoner climbed up from the first floor?"

Keigo Higashino: "Of course, you can go and see the outside of the air conditioner. Although the other party has considered the problem of cleaning the heavy snow, the outside of the air conditioner is not within the scope of cleaning. The prisoner played a guest role as a cleaner. The outside of the air conditioner in 206 and 106 is very clean. "

Hattori Heiji nodded in understanding and suddenly asked, "You already know the criminal law."

"I know." Higashino Keigo said calmly, he stopped the previous analysis and looked at Hattori Heiji.

It is a rare thing for two detectives to reason together on a case. Higashino Keigo has never encountered it before, so after finishing part of his reasoning, he also hopes that Hattori Heiji can continue his reasoning, just like playing a two-player game .

"If according to what you said, the prisoner left through the window, then there is a problem with the kettle filled with water placed in the window."

Hattori Heiji pondered for a moment and said, "Is it ice? The other party used ice to fix it on the glass and made a bayonet. The ice stuck on the window melted under the high temperature of the air conditioner and water vapor. The melted water dripping on the window sill would only make people think It was because the water tank was too full and overflowed, and because the windows would automatically close and get stuck, it was faked as a secret room to kill people.”

"But the next question is that the window can only be opened from the inside. How did the prisoner open the window before?"

"It's very simple..." Looking at the other party approvingly, Keigo Higashino, who was quite satisfied with Hattori Heiji's reasoning, took out a cigarette from his pocket and played with it on the bed, and replied casually, "There are two prisoners."

"Two people?" Hattori Heiji was stunned.

"That's right, you've overlooked one thing with your preconceived notions. Think about the other party's killing methods. Although they are all fatally stabbed at the neck and have stab wounds all over the upper body, there is one thing you have overlooked."

Putting the cigarette away, Keigo Higashino said lightly, "The wound on the victim's body."

"The wound on the victim's body, ah, there is a knife wound on the wrist. What does it matter if the other party is indeed suicidal?"

Higashino Keigo: "It has a lot to do with it. She has depression and committed suicide more than once. The victim is an accessory. This is just a perfect death of the victim. She and another prisoner are just simulating a crime."

"Simulated crime?"

"She came to Osaka for a trip, but she didn't have much clothes in the suitcase. Instead, she brought a lot of cosmetics. When she died, her expression was calm and her makeup was perfect. Coupled with her depression, this was a joint crime. If I guessed correctly, the victim should have relatives Once killed by buttons, she probably wanted to lure the real buttons out with the prisoner."

"Do you have evidence?" Murashita Qing couldn't help asking while looking at Keigo Higashino.

"Evidence?" He didn't seem to expect the other party to ask such a question. He paused and answered directly, "Chat records, she should have made an appointment to meet the prisoner. Although the chat with the prisoner has been deleted, she should be able to tweet After all, I want to leave a memory in the world when I am about to die."

"Ah, by the way, you can look for the family members of the victims who were left behind after Button committed the crime. After all, it is difficult for strangers to have thoughts about a serial killer, and criminals will also want to know the whereabouts of Button. I will return to the scene of the murder, right, Murashita-kun."

What a perfect reasoning, Murashita Ao stopped in her tracks.

He thought, if the other party was here ten years ago, it would be fine.
