Chapter 302 The Secret of the Village

Chapter 302 The Secret of Rokukaku Village

If it is really as he thought, then someone will definitely be killed next...

But what is the purpose of the murderer's killing?

The murders are carried out according to the characteristics of the corpses of each family.

Thinking, Fujino asked Fengjie Junye: "Uncle Fengjie, do other people know about these mummies besides the people in the village?"

"I don't know about that."

Uncle Fengjie looked a little strange: "The secrets of these guardian gods are only known by the owners of each hall in our village. Others should not know about it, and according to the rules, other owners cannot tell others. You also discovered this secret, so I brought you to see it."

"Is that so?"

Fujian paid attention to Fengjie Junye, and thought secretly in his heart.

Obviously, the murderer must be very familiar with this village.

Otherwise, he would not know that the skylight on the top of the church could just hang up the bed and kill Ruoye.

At present, the only one who meets the characteristics of the murderer is Kabuto Kiriko...

Thinking, Fujino opened the system task interface:

[Detective Career Task: Rokkaku Village Murder Case

Task Objective: Solve the murder case that occurred in the church

Task Reward: 1 million yen · 100 detective reputation points]

From the point of view that the task has not been completed, the murderer is definitely not Kabuto Kiriko.

If it is really her, then the system task must have been completed long ago after he revealed the method of committing the crime, and the police confirmed that Kabuto Kiriko was the murderer.

The time has also come to the afternoon.

Coming out of the basement where the mummies are stored, Fujino returned to the guest room of the Tokita family.

"Damn..."

Fujian scratched his head. He had no clue about this murder case.

He has basically restored the method of murder.

But the murderer cannot be determined at all.

From the method, Kabuto Kiriko is the most likely to achieve this method, but she is not the murderer.

If she disappeared, it is very likely that she has been killed by the murderer.

According to the current situation, there is no one who meets the suspect of killing Wakaba...

Everyone has an alibi.

Could it be that Wakaba killed herself?

Fujino quickly discarded this idea.

It would be reasonable to say that Tokugawa killed Tokita Wakaba.

But killing oneself is a bit unreasonable.

…………

At noon, another body was found.

Isshiki Torao of the Colored Glass House was found dead in his own refrigerator, with his right foot cut off.

On his back, it was written [The revenge of the seventh corpse is not over yet].

According to the police who came here in the morning and stayed in the village, and the investigation of the forensic department personnel, Isshiki Torao died in the afternoon. He was stabbed in the heart with a knife and one leg was cut off.

However, due to the large scope, the few police officers who stayed in the village could not do an alibi investigation at the moment.

Fujino immediately found the secret room in the villa and checked the mummy inside.

As he guessed, the mummy in the secret room had no right foot.

Corresponding to the murdered Isshiki Torao.

"Curse! It must be a curse!"

Fujino had just returned to the crime scene when he saw Tokita Jusan shouting crazily: "It must be their curse! The six people on that day will all be killed!"

"The six people on that day, curse?"

Fujino looked at Tokita Jusan who was talking to himself crazily and then left. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling a little confused.

From now on, the people who were killed are related to their own mummies.

It's just that Tokita Jusan's words 'that day' and 'they' made Fujino a little confused...

Could it be that these mummies have a direct connection with these museum owners?

If so, it would conflict with what Uncle Kaze Festival said that has been passed down since ancient times.

Before Fujino could think clearly.

Soon, another body was found.

It was Kusanagi Sanko from Ivy House.

The cause of death was exactly the same as Isshiki Torao.

Both were pierced through the heart and their legs were cut off.

But her leg that was cut off was her left leg.

On the curtain beside, it was written in blood [The blood of the seventh corpse's revenge has not yet dried up]

Fujino found the secret room as usual and checked the mummy.

As expected, this mummy lost its left leg.

However, on this mummy, Fujino keenly discovered something.

That is, the teeth of this mummy have traces of treatment with modern medical dental medical equipment.

From the traces, Fujino can judge that these corpses should have survived in recent decades, rather than the so-called ancient times...

"Recent decades?"

Fujino looked at the corpse lying peacefully in the sarcophagus.

In his mind, he immediately recalled the pastor's family who died in a church fire 27 years ago...

From the bones of the corpse, it is indeed a female corpse.

It can match the pastor's daughter.

But why did they leave the body of the pastor's daughter in their mansion?

Thinking of this, Fujino became more and more confused.

But he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the secret of this village.

At the same time, the identity of the murderer is directly related to this series of secrets.

…………

After briefly discussing the case with the police, Fujino did not mention the traces found on the mummy.

Instead, he returned to Tokita's house, intending to ask Tokita Shisan about the curse.

But the other party was not at home, so Fujino searched around the village and finally found Tokita Shisan.

However, I found that the other party's behavior was a bit suspicious...

Fujino followed him through a nearby forest and a winding steep forest path, crossed a fence with a no-entry sign, waded through a swamp, and came to an endless grassland. '.

It's just that the shapes of these grasses are very strange and different from normal plants. They have obviously been carefully cultivated.

"Curse, it's all because of these damn weeds!"

Tokita Shisan knelt on the ground and hammered the ground with both hands: "If it weren't for these hateful 'golden apples', Ruoye wouldn't have..."

‘Golden apples? ’

Fujino was stunned when he heard this, and it suddenly dawned on him.

The so-called golden apple, judging from what Tokida Shisan just said, should be marijuana.

Immediately, he walked forward and greeted: "Mr. Tokita."

"Nani?!"

Tokita Shisan turned his head in surprise, "What on earth are you..."

"A hundred years ago, a group of priests came to this village in search of golden apples. They found golden apples and planted them here..."

Fujino glanced around: "If I guessed correctly, those golden apples should be marijuana, right?"

"With this kind of marijuana, your whole village must be involved, right?"

Tokida Shisan looked at Fujino with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

“It’s easy to say that growing cannabis is easy to see.”

Fujino walked forward slowly and said in a deep voice: "What I really care about are the seven corpses. After all, judging from the conditions of the three corpses I saw, they are not the patron saints of the village at all, but Burned alive by fire in recent decades.”

"It happened that twenty-seven years ago, the pastor's family in the middle of this village died in a fire... All the body parts of the seven corpses were removed, and this time the victims who were killed one after another also lost all their body parts. It’s exactly the same as the corpse in my own home.”

After a pause, Fujino looked at Tokita Shisan: "Mr. Tokita, you just mentioned curses and revenge. This should be related to the death of the priest's family, right?"

There was a drop of cold sweat on Tokita Shisan's forehead, but he still didn't speak.

Fujino expected that the other party would be tight-lipped about something like this.

So Fujino decided to play the emotional card, looked at Tokita Jusan and said, "Mr. Tokita, you should also want to catch the murderer of Wakaba, right?"

"Ruo... Ruoye..."

Tokita Shisan was stunned when he heard this, "You, are you sure you can find the murderer who killed Ruoye?"

"I am sure."

Fujino nodded: "As long as you tell us what these corpses and the marijuana are about."

"In this case...well, I will tell you everything."

Tokita Shisan hesitated for a moment, feeling that his only daughter was dead anyway, and that she would be the last to be born, so he decided to get out of the situation completely.

A hundred years ago, missionaries who came to this village from abroad found wild cannabis, and together with their followers, six families living in the alien house and the church pastor, they cultivated cannabis and profited from it.

After the missionaries left, the seven families in the village reached an agreement to cultivate marijuana secretly without letting other people in the village know about it, and to make money secretly.

But just twenty-seven years ago, the pastor's descendants suddenly no longer wanted to continue growing marijuana.

The pastor and his wife adopted seven young orphans. It was because of those children that the pastor came up with the idea of ​​stopping growing marijuana.

But this obviously created a conflict of interest with the other six major families in the village.

After several negotiations, the pastor and others failed to reach a common agreement until the negotiations finally broke down and the pastor decided to call the police.

Then, six curators in the village brutally shot and killed the pastor and his wife who were planning to set fire to the cannabis field.

Afterwards, they forced seven of the pastor's children into the church and set them all on fire and burned them all to death.

But in the ruins of the church afterwards, parts of the girls' bodies were missing, as if they had been cut off by the devil's claws...

After that, each of the six museum owners took a corpse back to their own museum and hid it in a secret room.

After hearing the whole incident, Fujino's expression suddenly darkened.

Killed nine people in a row, including seven underage children.

After death, the body was taken back to his home...

These people are such beasts.

But after taking a deep breath and calming down, Fujino still grasped the gist of the matter: "These corpses were already like this when you found them. Didn't you cut them open?"

"No...we didn't do this..."

Tokita Shisan's face showed a hint of pain, and his forehead was already soaked with sweat: "We brought these corpses back to restrain each other so that no one would have the intention to quit or call the police again... because this is our crime. evidence."

"I already know……"

Fujino nodded, and the clues in his mind gradually connected: "If my guess is correct, then there are actually only six of these seven corpses."

"Only six?!"

Tokita Shisan's eyes widened.

"That's right."

Fujino explained: "Cut off a part of each part to form the seventh body... The one who killed Wakaba may actually be the serial murder trap set by the girl who survived back then in order to retaliate against you. …”

After determining the motive for the murder, the two just returned to the village when they heard that another body had been found.

The one who died this time was Kabutozi...

Kabutozi was hidden in the armor at the entrance of the Armor Hall.

At this time, her left shoulder was removed, and her head was separated from her body.

On the back of the armor, it was written in blood [The seventh corpse, this is the second person, the blood has not been shed enough! 】

After identification by the police who stayed behind, Kabutozi's death time was similar to Wakaba's death time.

In other words, at the same time that Wakaba was killed, Kabutoko had already been killed.

Fujino sneaked into the secret room of the Armor Hall.

"no the same?"

Fujino looked at the corpse in the coffin in front of him, stunned.

The corpse lying in the coffin had lost its lower body, while Kabutozi had lost its left shoulder.

This time, the rules were completely out of whack.

From Wakaba, who was the first to be killed, to Tonao, and Kusanagi, all the three of them lost were the corresponding parts of their own bodies.

But this time, there was something unusual.

However, Fujino smelled a clue among the abnormalities.

"So that's it..."

Fujino took a deep breath, looked at the mummy in front of him, and lowered his head: "Did you kill yourself?"
