"Cough, cough!"

"Bah!"

"Grass!"

The moment he opened the door, a strong, pungent, almost suffocating mint smell hit his face.

After just one sniff, Sakaki started coughing violently.

"What's wrong, Brother Sakaki?"

Megure Thirteen noticed something strange here, and quickly approached with Nakamori Ginzo and others.

"fine."

Sakaki waved his hands with an ugly expression:

"The mint smell is too strong, I choked on it."

Different from Kasuga Mao's room, this bedroom was extremely dark. The thick curtains completely blocked the sunlight. There was still dust visible to the naked eye in the air. The sheets and quilts were neatly arranged, and the cabinets and tables were covered with mint sachets.

"this"

When the thirteen or so people saw this scene, they took a step back in fright:

"What's going on?"

"Can anyone live in this house?!"

"Of course no one can live there."

Sakaki covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and walked into the room:

"Sachets are generally used to remove odors, refresh the mind, or calm the mind."

"Nothing is too much. With so many sachets, even the mosquitoes will be suffocated to death. If a person lives there for a long time, not only the body can't stand it, but the spirit can't stand it either."

As he spoke, Sakaki opened the curtains and opened the windows. Warm eyes accompanied the breeze as he passed through the room. The unpleasant smell

It immediately spread to the whole house.

"Holy shit!"

"Ahem!"

Outside the bedroom, the detectives from the forensics department standing in the living room immediately smelled the peculiar smell, their faces suddenly turned blue, and they covered their mouths and started coughing.

Is it better for a dead Taoist friend than a poor Taoist?

Sakaki has no psychological pressure on this.

Through the sunlight, he finally saw clearly the furnishings in the house.

Single bed, two cabinets, desk, lamp.

Without exception, they are filled with peppermint sachets.

He touched the window sill and the floor, and gently twisted the gray floc, Sakaki Makoto.

His face darkened.

No one has lived in this house for a long time

"Detective Demi, please do a fingerprint test on the sink."

Sakaki suddenly turned his head and ordered:

"See if there are any fingerprints of a third party."

"yes!"

Detective Demi immediately rushed into the bathroom with a paintbrush. After a while...

"Report!"

"On the sink, including the window, toilet, toothbrush, faucet, etc., we found no fingerprints other than Miss Kasuga's own!"

Just as Sakaki was about to speak, he saw that the sachet on the desk had several unnatural protrusions, as if something was pressed underneath.

Taking out his white gloves and putting them on, Sakaki immediately stepped forward, cleaned the sachet, and took it out from inside.

A photo album.

The era of photo albums is already a long time ago.

On the yellowed cover were written the words 'Memories of the Kasuga Family'.

Without hesitation, Sakaki immediately opened the photo album.

The first thing that catches the eye is a boy and a girl in a black-and-white photo. The boy is wearing an old-style breasted school uniform and a flat-brimmed hat. He is holding the girl next to him, whose skirt is hanging down to her ankles. She is smiling happily and looking a bit childish. astringent.

Under the photo, there is a note saying '1974, Boyhood'.

"These should be Kasuga Mao's parents."

The heads of Megure Thirteen and Nakamori Ginzo popped up, and they recalled with emotion:

"We also have photo albums like this at home, which are all from when we were young."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!"

Nakamori Ginzo, whose cheeks were swollen and swollen, mumbled and nodded.

"Brother Zhongmori, what are you talking about?"

Just like Bajie who saw the wordless heavenly book, Mumu Shisan didn't understand it at all.

"He said there aren't many people who still keep old photo albums like this."

Sakaki Makoto, who was looking through the photo album, said without looking back.

"Eh?"

Mumu Shisan was stunned:

"Brother Sakaki, can you understand brother Nakamori's nonsense?"

"I don't understand, I'm just talking nonsense."

Mu Mu Thirteen: "."

Sakaki, who was looking for clues seriously, of course had no intention of caring about what the thirteen or so people in Megure thought.

The photo album of the Kasuga family is arranged according to the years.

20 years ago, 19 years ago, 18 years ago

As time went by, the quality of the photos became higher and clearer, and black and white became color.

In 1975, Kasuga and his wife gave birth to a boy, named Kasuga Hunter.

Two years later, Kasuga Mao was also born.

With two children, the Kasuga family has entered the happiest period.

The number of photos also increased accordingly.

As he flipped through the photo album, Sakaki said nothing.

Megure Thirteen and Nakamori Ginzo did not dare to disturb him, so they could only wait patiently.

after a while

The photo album suddenly came to an end.

The last photo is a family portrait taken 9 years ago.

Above, Kasuga Karito, who is only 12 years old, is wearing a lion sweater, holding his sister's hand, having a close relationship, with a bright smile, and the shadows of Kasuga and his wife can be vaguely seen.

9 years ago

It happened to be the time when Kasuga's family had a car accident.

Sakaki put down the photo album and frowned in thought.

"Brother Sakaki Makoto?"

Mumu Shisan asked tentatively:

"Is there anything strange about this photo album?"

"Just talking about the photo album, there is nothing strange about it, but"

Sakaki shook his head and looked around the room:

"Kasuga Hunter, where did you go?"

"He went to Hokkaido!"

Mumu Shisan was startled:

"Didn't Miss Kasuga say that he set off this morning?"

Faced with Megure Jusan's slowness, Sakaki Makoto was quite helpless.

No fingerprints of the third person were found in the whole house. How could Kasuga Karin live here?

Life is not only about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also leaves clues.

At this moment, Sakaki Makoto has already made a bold guess

He walked to the closet, held the closet door with both hands, and opened it!

On the shelf, clothes were neatly arranged in various colors and styles.

Under the closet, many shoes and clothes were also folded and placed.

Black school uniform, small leather shoes, letter T-shirt, lion sweater.

Sakaki Makoto's face changed slightly.

Noticing the change in his expression, Megure Jusan became alert:

"What's wrong, brother Makoto Sakaki?"

"Did you find something wrong?"

"Don't you see it?!"

Makoto Sakaki widened his eyes, turned around and pointed at the clothes in the closet and said:

"These are all clothes for children!"

Shocked, Megure Jusan and Nakamori Ginzo looked at each other and suddenly understood.

Several pairs of eyes suddenly looked at Mao Kasuga, who was standing at the door with an expressionless face.

According to the information she provided, Kasuga Karito lived in this house.

But a normal person can't grow up and still wear clothes when he was 12 years old!

Just like a building that has cracked due to disrepair, the overlap of time has cracks at this moment.

"Ms. Kasuga."

Megure Jusan loosened his tie, licked his dry lips, and asked tremblingly:

"Your brother, Kasuga Karito"

"Where did he go?"

When questioned, Mao Kasuga's eyes were slightly red, and she trembled and said:

"The car accident that happened 9 years ago."

"My brother was also in the car"
