Chapter 2860 Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Back in the car, Shizuku happily took out the file and began to look through the information inside.

The first is the victim——just like in the movie and the novel, there are four victims, two men and two women, two of whom are students of the same school and good friends. The man is a student in a cram school, and he is also an acquaintance.

If it wasn't for some reason, this case probably wouldn't have been transferred to the police history editing room.

The reason is coincidence.

First, all four died at the same time on the same day.

Secondly, their death patterns were unexpectedly consistent. All of them grabbed their hair vigorously, as if they were about to pull something.

In the end, the cause of death of the four people was unknown. Of course, the forensic doctor gave a scientific explanation after the autopsy. But they are not middle-aged people who are exhausted from work, nor are they old people whose bodies are already weakened, but healthy and lively young people. Four people died at the same time and in the same way at the same time, which is already a problem in itself. problem.

Of course, Shizuku also discovered the difference between reality and novels and movies.

In both the novel and the film, a relative of one of the victims, a journalist working for a newspaper, investigated the matter out of professional instinct. But in the reality of this world, it is a young policeman who is responsible for recording the case. He seems to have heard from the friends of the victim that they have seen a strange tape. On it, a woman told them that she would die in seven days. rumors, and launched an investigation into it.

Well, this is also normal, young people always want to make a big case to get ahead. Moreover, the death of the other party is extremely tragic and strange, and it is not impossible that there will always be those who do not believe in evil and want to break through.

According to the case file records, this policeman was the investigator at the scene of the two victims in this mysterious murder case. The reason there were two was because according to the records, two of the four died in their own homes. The remaining one man and one woman died in a car in a remote wilderness.

Of course, it's not that the police didn't think about the couple dying in love or being attacked, but judging from the scene at the scene, the windows of the two deceased were closed and their clothes were disheveled when they were found. And no drug reaction was detected in their bodies.

Not only that, according to police records, when the body was found, the man and woman were lying tightly on the left and right car doors, as if trying to break through the door. This made the policeman very puzzled, because generally speaking, if the two of them encountered something terrifying, they should hug each other in fright. But they did the opposite, as if they wanted to try their best to stay away from each other.

It was as if something appeared between them.

Due to the extremely distorted and fearful expressions of the two at the time, most of the police present thought that the two children died suddenly when they took drugs and wanted to have fun. However, an autopsy was performed after that, which showed that there was no drug effect, which gave the young policeman the idea to find out.

So he followed the clues and investigated the other two deceased. At the same time, he also learned about the "weird video tape" rumors from the woman's classmates, and also learned that the four of them had gone to Hakone's Pacific Paradise to stay together.

Originally, they should follow the clues, but the policeman suddenly stopped the investigation, and then submitted the entire incident record. Then the case file was transferred to the police history editing room, after all, such weird cases were their scope of responsibility.

Could it be that the policeman sensed danger subconsciously? In this case, he might live a long life.

After all, the most dead in horror movies are those idiots who have no ability to jump into the fire pit.

That is the so-called "unknown life and death".

But for Shizuku...

"It's time for the holy land pilgrimage!"

And it's different from the movie, this is the real Midnight Ring set, so I'm sure I'll go there and take a photo as a souvenir! Fortunately, the policeman was quite serious in his investigation, and even found out the room number of the villa where the victim lived in Hakone, which saved Shizuku a lot of effort to recall.

So Shizuku immediately drove to the Pacific Paradise in Hakone according to the route, then booked that room, and then......

"Ah, the tape was taken away by the guest."

"........."

Hearing the answer from the administrator behind the counter, Shizuku blinked and looked confused.

Are you kidding me?

She is ready, just like the protagonist in the movie, she is watching the cursed videotape while drinking and kneading melon seeds in this hut, and then answering the harassing phone call from Sadako, but now you tell me that the tape is missing ?

If this is a role-playing haunted house adventure, you're out of the game, I say!

"When did you take it?"

"About... a month ago?"

"........."

It is true, after all, the case in my hands is the result of the police investigation, the speed and urgency of the Japanese bureaucracy...

"Was the guest who took the video tape a man or a woman? Did you leave a record?"

"this……………"

Obviously, the administrator hesitated a bit, after all, the owner of the video tape came to the door right now (Shizuku’s excuse was that he lent the video tape to his friends, and then they forgot to take it back, so he came to look for it), but as The staff, if you reveal your personal privacy at will, you will be fired.

"Snapped."

Shizuku was naturally no stranger to this situation, and she took a picture of a 10,000 yuan bill on the counter without hesitation.

"I'll get the register."

So you see, if you have money, you can make ghosts go through the mill, and you can do pole dancing.

In the registration book, Shizuku quickly found the name Asakawa. The other party’s check-in time was a month ago, and he should be the guest in Room 4... It’s just because only the last name was written, so Shizuku is still not sure who this Asakawa is. Male or female.

The movie version is very different from the novel version. In the original book, Asakawa is a man with a wife and children. He is a newspaper reporter and is acquainted with Ryuji Takayama. In the movie version, although Asakawa is still a reporter, his identity has been changed to a woman, and he has become Ryuji Takayama's ex-wife, and the two have a daughter.

Of course, this may be for the sake of saving money, or it may be that the rhythm of the story is not compact enough because of not wanting to appear too many characters. But here it is impossible to tell whether the other party is a man or a woman, because the surname is just scribbled on it, but Shizuku is not helpless about this.

After returning to the hut she rented, she immediately called the Inudo Lanzi Police Department, hoping that the Metropolitan Police Department could provide her with a piece of information.

"You mean, besides those four students, there were others who died?"

"Yes, there should be, please investigate."

"How do you investigate this... You must have discovered something, is it a curse?"

"It's not really a big deal."

While talking, Shizuku told Inudou Ranko the plot of "Midnight Bell" with a smile. After all, there is no Midnight Bell in this world, and she also wanted to find someone to spoil it. As a result, what Shizuku didn't expect was that after listening to the story of the "cursed video tape" told by Shizuku, Inudo Ranko suddenly became serious.

"Really? If that's the case, I'll investigate right away!"

"Huh? You will be so active? It's really rare."

Shizuku was quite surprised to hear the Inudou Lanzi Police Department give such a quick answer. She had the impression that the Inudou Police Department was just lazy and fishing all day long, either betting on horses or drinking. Active work like this was very important to her. It's really rare.

"Of course, don't you understand the danger? If the video tape is really what you said, people who have seen the video tape must make a copy for others to watch within seven days, then things will be troublesome. And it didn’t say how many copies of the videotape, did it? If four people watch it, do all four people have to make a copy of the videotape? Or does each person have to make more than one copy?”

"This... I'm not quite sure."

Hearing this, Shizuku scratched her head. She just remembers this urban ghost story more clearly, and Shizuku originally told this story to Inudo Ranko, but she just thought it would be fun to spoil it. Now that I think about it, from the standpoint of the police, if this curse really comes true , then things will be troublesome.

No one wants to die, they will definitely copy the video tape desperately for others to watch, and then others don't want to die, and then continue to copy...

Well, from this point of view, this curse is really troublesome. From a certain point of view, it is much scarier than the Gate of the Underworld.

After all, the Gate of the Underworld is regional, and this is like a virus that can proliferate, infecting and spreading wantonly...

"I will look into this immediately."

Inudo Ranko answered with a serious attitude that Shizuku had never seen before, and then hung up the phone, while Shizuku yawned boredly, then picked up the phone and called the office, and it was Hina Saki who answered the phone Crimson, Shizuku told her that she was investigating an incident and would not go home tonight, Hinasaki Crimson also expressed her understanding of this.

Then Shizuku opened a bottle of Coke, drinking while watching the TV show in front of her to pass the time.

She knew that the bones of Sadako Yamamura were in the well below the villa, but Shizuku didn't bother to take care of it, because Sadako Yamamura's soul and thoughts had been transferred to the video tape, and the innocence in the well was bones, and Shizuku didn't I felt some aura or resentment, so I let it go.

If it's a big deal, then tell the Quantong Police Department and let her send someone to collect the bones.

"Jingle Bell…………!!"

While Shizuku was watching TV boredly, suddenly, the phone rang again, echoing in the wooden house.

When the phone rang, Shizuku jumped up excitedly.

Did Sadako's harassing phone call finally arrive? !
