Chapter 2883 Lies and Truth (I Am so Hot Now that I Have to Take a Bath Twice a Day)
Shizuku neither cared nor cared about Nausuke Nueno's plan to use the 100,000 yen. To her, a mere 100,000 yen was no different from 10 or 20 yen. After separating from Nausuke Nueno, she quickly drove to the next destination——the home of Marie Mizunuma.
Mizunuma Marie lives in a very old apartment. According to the administrator, she has always lived with her two daughters. Mizunuma Marie is also very good to her daughters, but she doesn’t know Why, they left suddenly.
"suddenly?"
"Yes."
While leading Shizuku towards the end of the corridor, the apartment manager said in a low voice.
"I don't know when they disappeared. In short, the mother and daughter disappeared suddenly...Actually..."
Speaking of this, the apartment manager lowered his voice.
"I've heard people say that Ms. Marie abused her own child."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yeah, Miss, you don't know. In fact, after that, someone found Mizunuma Marie's eldest daughter, Mimiko, dead at home. What a pity."
"The cause of death? Have the police come to investigate?"
"The police came to investigate, but it seems that they died of illness or something... Sorry, I don't remember that clearly."
While talking, the apartment manager took out the key and opened the door.
"It's here."
Shizuku pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside is a somewhat narrow apartment room, which is basically a hallway + kitchen, and then a living room + bedroom, which is even smaller than the houses allocated by state-owned enterprises back then. However, from the pictures drawn by children on the wall, we can see the living conditions here.
But for Shizuku, the most important thing is...
"not here."
Feeling the seemingly invisible cold atmosphere around her, Shizuku frowned. Her purpose was to find the hiding place of the evil spirit, but the evil spirit didn't seem to be here. But at least she still has some clues, that is, there is indeed a cold aura here, indicating that even if the evil spirit didn't regard this place as his lair, he had stayed here for a while.
"Jingle Bell…………!!"
At this moment, Shizuku's cell phone rang, she turned on the cell phone, and soon Nasuke Nueno's voice came from inside.
"Hello, is this Kasugano-san?"
"it's me."
"I'm Nueno. I talked with the people in the orphanage and found out something incredible."
Having said this, Nausuke Nueno's tone became serious.
"According to them, Ms. Mizunuma Marie may be suspected of abusing her own child."
"What about the evidence?"
Hearing this, Shizuku's expression didn't change, because the manager of the apartment just said the same to him. But that is just a rumor after all, and there is no actual evidence.
"Her youngest daughter Nanako was often injured, and they were all cuts, so people in the welfare agency also suspected that Marie Mizunuma had abused her daughter."
"But that's just suspicion."
Shizuku knows that Japanese government agencies are at the level of fathers in this regard, unlike China, where children belong to their own family, so they can beat them whenever they want. If the staff of the Japanese government suspect that the parents or caregivers are suspected of abusing and beating the child, they can forcibly cancel the parents' custody of the child and hand the child over to a welfare agency or find another person for adoption.
According to Nausuke Nueno, Mizunuma Marie's youngest daughter, Nanako, has been to the hospital for treatment several times, all because of lacerations caused by sharp weapons, so it is normal for both medical staff and staff to have such suspicions.
"No evidence?"
"No, according to them, Mizunuma Marie took good care of her two daughters. During their hospitalization, they often took care of them without sleep and food. They didn't look like people who would abuse their daughters, but..."
"Do you suspect that Mari Mizunuma has a mental illness or a dual personality?"
"After all, it's not impossible. Of course, it may also be possessed by evil spirits."
Indeed, as Nausuke Nueno said, this possibility is not impossible. Mizunuma Marie is a single mother who takes care of two children alone and works to support the family. Obviously, she is under a lot of mental pressure. If she developed some kind of schizophrenia or dual personality symptoms as a result, then her behavior would be understandable.
"Then what did Nanako Mizunuma say?"
"Nanako can't talk."
Narusuke Nueno's voice sounded a little low.
"Perhaps it was because of the blow that was too great. She is completely silent now. I can't answer any questions I ask."
"That's it...it's already late today, let's meet up at the hospital tomorrow."
"Hospital?"
"That's right, the hospital where Mizunuma Marie worked before her death, and I heard that Mimiko Mizunuma's autopsy was also performed there. I will go to the nearby police station to retrieve the file records, and then we will meet up in the hospital."
After giving instructions, Shizuku put down the phone and stared at the room in front of her.
Indeed, after hearing the information collected by Nausuke Nueno, it is easy to suspect that Mizunuma Marie is the murderer who abused her child, and also killed her daughter Mimiko, and then fled. The resentment of her daughter Mimiko, who was killed by her, formed an evil spirit, and then launched a murderous revenge.
So is this really the case?
Thinking of this, Shizuku stared at the room in front of her. Then, her pupils dilated slightly, and then time began to flow backwards in Shizuku's eyes... Soon, the scenes of the past emerged.
After a while, Shizuku closed her eyes and nodded slightly.
"So that's how it is, that's how it is..."
While saying that, Shizuku turned around and walked out of the room, then closed the door.
This time, she didn't even turn her head to look at the shadows that appeared vaguely in the room.
The next day, when Shizuku came to the hospital, Nausuke Nueno was already waiting there.
"You're finally here, Ms. Kasugano."
Seeing Shizuku's appearance, Narusuke Naruto could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I want to inquire about Mimiko Mizunuma's records, but the hospital refuses to agree..."
This is a matter of course, how can you, a primary school teacher, let you check the patient files at will?
"I did find the death record of Mimiko Mizunuma."
Shizuku handed the file over.
"According to the conclusion of the police autopsy, Mimiko Mizunuma died of an asthma attack."
"asthma………?"
"That's right, you should know that asthma patients will suffer a lot when they have an asthma attack. If they don't get timely treatment, it's not surprising that they die."
"So when she got sick, her mother wasn't by her side... In the end, Mimiko died alone like this."
Looking at the photos in the file, Naruto Nue could not help sighing, he didn't notice that Shizuku was staring at him with a weird smile at the moment.
And when Nausuke Nueno raised his head, Shizuku also looked away.
"Anyway, from the current point of view, this family is likely to be the source of the death call. Now that Mimiko Mizunuma is dead and Mizunuma Nanako is in the orphanage, the only missing person is Mizunuma Marie. We have to find Mizunuma Truth painting is the only way to find out the truth."
"But her colleagues at the hospital don't know where Marie Mizunuma went..."
Having said this, Nausuke Nueno seemed to remember something.
"By the way, her colleague once said that Marie Mizunuma used to go home except for the hospital, and she spent most of her time in the old hospital!"
"The old hospital?"
"Yes, it's abandoned now, but it hasn't been demolished yet...!"
"Then let's go to the old hospital."
Shizuku didn't care about Nueno Nausuke's words, and quickly made a decision.
Soon, the two drove to the old Kagami Hospital. Just as Nueno Mingsuke found out, the old hospital had been abandoned and closed. But this is naturally not a problem for Shizuku, she directly smashed open the blocked door, and then the two walked into the hospital like this.
"........."
"Miss Kasugano, do you feel it?"
"certainly."
Walking into the hospital, Nausuke Nueno began to ask with a solemn expression, and facing his question, Shizuku nodded slightly. Although there seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface, as soon as the two of them entered the hospital, they felt a wave of Weird and cold aura.
Then the two looked at each other, slowly walked up the stairs, and walked into the depths.
Following the direction of the aura, the two of them came upstairs all the way. At this moment, suddenly, in the originally silent corridor, there was a strange ringing sound from the mobile phone.
"Ding -- ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong..."
"........."
The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone at this moment seems to be deliberately luring the two of them, but neither Nausuke Nueno nor Shizuku are obviously not the ones who will shrink back because of this. They walked straight forward and walked along the room where the sound came from. Entering a room, at the same time, the ringing stopped abruptly.
"Look there, Ms. Kasugano!"
At this time, Nausuke Nueno seemed to have discovered something, and shouted while pointing at a box not far away, only to see a hand stretched out from the box, holding a mobile phone, and this hand had already As far as corruption, it looks like it's been sitting here for a while. At this moment, Nue Ye Mingsuke also hurried up, opened the box, and saw a woman's rotten corpse curled up in the box, with only one hand stretched out, grabbing the phone.
"This...could it be..."
"——————————————!"
However, just when Nausuke Nueno was surprised, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, stood up, roared and grabbed Nausuke Nueno in front of him.
As an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been petrified in the face of the changes in front of him. However, Mingsuke Nueno is a teacher of spiritual power after all, and he has slain demons and demons countless times, so naturally he will not be as cowardly as ordinary people. Facing the attack in front of him, he hurriedly backed away, and then took out the scriptures with his right hand.
"Look at the trick, the white-clothed spirit is bound to curse!!"
Accompanied by Nueno Nausuke's furious roar, the scripture in his hand instantly turned into a circle, restraining the erupting evil spirit. At this moment, the evil spirit also screamed, being restrained and unable to move.
"Damn evil spirit, obediently ascend to heaven!! Nanwu's great compassion and great compassion to save the suffering and the great inspiration..."
Accompanied by the sound of Nue Ye Mingsuke chanting the incantation, the originally irritable evil spirit gradually calmed down, and Nue Ye Mingsuke was also chanting the mantra, trying to make her ascend to heaven.
However, at this moment, Shizuku suddenly spoke.
"Do you think it is behind the death call?"
"this……………"
Facing Shizuku's question, Nausuke Nueno was also dumbfounded for a while, in fact he didn't have time to think about this question at all just now. It was simply because of this evil spirit's violent attack that he instinctively fought back in self-defense.
"Then I'll leave that to you, and I'll take care of this."
As she spoke, Shizuku stretched out her hand, and with her movement, a pitch-black sword slowly emerged from the void, and then Shizuku clenched Frostmourne in her hand, turned around and threw it out!
"Shua—————————————!"
The pitch-black sword instantly turned into a flash of lightning and flew forward, and was nailed to the wall with a shrill scream. Only then did Nausuke Nueno discover that a girl's ghost was being nailed to death by the pitch-black sword. Between the walls, he couldn't stop struggling.
She is the eldest daughter of Marie Mizunuma who died of asthma, Mimiko Mizunuma!
"Miss Kasugano, what are you doing!?"
Seeing this scene, Nausuke Nueno was taken aback, but Shizuku didn't care about what he said at all, but walked towards Mimiko Mizunuma slowly with hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
"Poor Mimiko... What a poor child, because of an asthma attack, but no one cares, and finally died tragically... What a pity... At least everyone thinks so, but it is true ?"
"You... what do you mean?"
Hearing Shizuku's words, Nausuke Nueno was a little surprised, but Shizuku glanced at him.
"Don't you have ghost hands? Mr. Nueno? You can go directly to Ms. Marie's memory, won't everything be clear?"
"..."
Hearing Shizuku's answer, Nausuke Nueno hesitated for a moment, then he stretched out his ghost hand and connected to the memory of the evil spirit in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the memory of Mizunuma Marie.
In the memory of Mizunuma Marie, she did not abuse her daughter. On the contrary, in order to take care of and raise her two daughters, Mizunuma Marie has been working hard. But what troubled her was that her little daughter Nanako was always injured at every turn. At first Marie thought it was just an accident, for example, her daughter accidentally touched a knife or sharp object while playing at home, but with this situation The repeated appearance also made her feel puzzled.
Marie also consulted a doctor and was told that children sometimes choose to self-mutilate in order to attract the attention of their parents. She is not sure whether her youngest daughter Nanako belongs to this kind.
However, on this day, Marie knew the truth.
On that day, Marie returned home a little later than usual, but when she opened the door and walked into the room, she saw her eldest daughter, Mimiko, holding a sharp knife and making wounds on her younger daughter.
Seeing this scene, Marie was stunned.
She never imagined that her eldest daughter, who looked frail and sickly and suffered from asthma, had such a terrifying side.
She pushed Mimiko away almost angrily, and then hugged Nanako preciously. And Mimiko seemed to be greatly stimulated by her mother's discovery of what she had done. Soon, her asthma broke out again, but Mimiko couldn't pick up the respirator. She fell to the ground and looked at her mother in despair. , I hope she can save herself.
If it is normal, then Marie will definitely save her daughter without hesitation.
But now, in the eyes of Marie, it is not her daughter lying on the ground, but a cold-blooded and ruthless demon.
So she hesitated for a moment, finally hugged Nanako, turned and left the house, leaving Mimiko there alone.
Then, as recorded in the file, Mimiko died of an asthma attack.
However, she didn't really disappear.
Instead, he turned into an evil spirit and started a new killing journey.
"........."
Seeing all this, Nue Ye Nausuke was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes. He originally thought that the truth would torture and kill his daughter, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret behind it?
"So, the death call is not any message or anger from the deceased at all, it's just her entertainment, Nueno-sensei."
Shizuku's voice continued to reach Narusuke Nueno's ears.
"Did you know? Every time Mimiko stabbed her sister, she would give her a candy. In the mouths of those who died before, I also found a candy."
At this moment, Shizuku had already walked up to Mimiko who was struggling in pain, staring at her with a smile on her face.
"So you understand, Nueno-sensei? She kills those people, the same as she hurt her own sister. She just takes pleasure in this behavior --- and makes a living from it."
"..."
Nausuke Nueno looked at Mimiko's ghost with a complicated expression, and was silent for a moment.
"So, what are you going to do with her?"
"I have my own way."
Shizuku chuckled, and stretched out her hand to grab the hilt of Frostmourne's sword.
"Now, it's time for her to taste the pain."
As Shizuku's voice fell, the next moment, the howling cold wind burst from the blade and quickly turned into a whirlpool. In this way, Mimiko's ghost was entangled, torn, and completely swallowed by the whirlpool.
After a while, everything returned to tranquility.
Shizuku withdrew Frostmourne, and turned to Nausuke Nueno.
"My work is over, Nueno-sensei, how about you?"
