Chapter 103 Smile
There is no wind today, the sun is just right, and the sun shines warmly on the ground. It is a rare good weather in this cold winter.

The bustling crowd and the endless stream of cars on the street are constantly passing by.

On Saturdays and Sundays, office workers and student parties will take advantage of this time to go shopping and relax their tense spirits.

Two little girls in beautiful little dresses and scarves around their necks were talking together.

"Hey, Xiangjiang, you bought a lot of things today."

"Well, because I'm going to attend a comic exhibition in two days, I bought a lot."

"Really, it's amazing, why don't you take me there with you, I want to see it too."

"Okay, I'll take you with me, then we'll pick out a cosplay dress for you later, shall we?"

"Okay, okay, I know there is a store with very beautiful clothes and the price is not expensive, let's go there in a while."

"okay."

"What do you think I should choose to look better, why don't you say anything, whether it's a fox girl or a witch."

The little girl at the side accidentally glanced at the person on the roof opposite when she turned her head, "How strange?"

"what?"

"Lizi, what are you looking at? So focused?" Her eyes followed the direction of her eyes.

Just a few seconds after talking like this, the figure on the opposite building kept moving, and had reached the edge of the floor, and then...
Jump down!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The whole street exploded like a drop of water dropped into a hot oil pan.

Shouts, brakes, and calls for help kept ringing out.

It is not an exaggeration to jump off such a high floor and be smashed to pieces.

The back of his head landed on the ground, and blood mixed with brains continued to overflow from the back of his head. The violent collision caused the blood of the deceased to splash in jets.

The girl who was only two steps away from the deceased, wearing a misty blue down jacket, had a lot of blood spots on her originally clean clothes, and even splashed a lot on her face.

If she hadn't dodged to the side in time after hearing the movement behind her, she might have stayed here together.

Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention, this unlucky girl is Sanada Ling who finally unblocked and slipped out to play.

Sanada Ling stared at the dead on the ground, her face showed no pain, her hands were on her chest, without any resistance injuries.

Generally speaking, people who commit suicide will regret the moment they jump, their bodies will struggle involuntarily, and finally they will resist with their hands and fall face down to the ground.

Unless it is the kind of person who is so desperate that he has no memory of life, he will fall down without any resistance.

But why is he laughing?

Sanada Ling looked at the curved corner of the dead boy's mouth, and his face was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was still young, how could there be such a big intention of death.

His dark pupils stared at the continuously flowing blood, and it didn't feel like a simple suicide case.

Of course, in the eyes of the people around, Sanada Ling's thinking expression was considered to be that the little girl was too frightened and frightened out of her wits.

After receiving the report call, the police station immediately notified the higher-ups, and sent the nearest patrol to maintain order at the scene and protect the traces around the deceased.

After receiving the news, Toyama Ginjiro stopped returning to the police station. He happened to be near the scene of the crime. The car slammed the steering wheel and drove quickly to the scene of the accident.

Provoking the warning bar on the outside, "What's the situation at the scene, is there any clue to the identity of the victim?"

"Minister Toyama."

The policeman raised his hand to salute, "The situation is not very good. The child was also wearing a school uniform with a smile on his face. He died on the spot."

He lowered his voice and added, "It's exactly the same as the previous ones."

Toyama Ginjiro looked at the victim who was put into a body bag, his expression was not very good, and they got together again.

"Others, did the people at the scene find any clues?"

Police officer: "We are inquiring. At that time, there was a little girl who was splattered with blood. She was very frightened. The police officer in the mountain was comforting her. Would you like to go and see? It's right there, the girl in the blue coat little girl."

Toyama Ginshiro followed his fingers and looked over, "I'll go and have a look."

When I got closer, I realized that this frightened little girl looked familiar, "Alice?"

Sanada Ling raised her head, "Minister Toyama, good day."

Officer Yamauchi asked in surprise, "Minister Toyama, do you know this child?"

Toyama Ginshiro nodded, "Well, go and do it, she will leave it to me."

"Ok."

Toyama Ginshiro looked at the blood stains all over the little girl, "Why did you run into this again?"

Sanada Ling was wiping the blood on her face with a handkerchief. Hearing this, she gave him a helpless look. Was this what she thought? It just appeared in front of her so suddenly, and she couldn't help it, "It just so happened. "

Toyama Ginshiro thought of the previous cases, all these things were put on you alone, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear the psychological pressure long ago.

"Come with me. The second time is also at the police station. This case is not a simple suicide. It is the fourth case. If you are not busy, let's go to the police station together."

Perhaps your arrival can bring us new ideas and solve the case as soon as possible. With such a big way of killing people, the police department can hardly stand the pressure of public opinion.

Sanada Ling put the handkerchief in her pocket, "Okay, let's go."

On the way to the police station, Sanada Ling stopped by the shop to buy a coat. She didn't really want to wear blood-stained clothes to work.

As soon as Sanada Ling stepped into the police office, she felt a gloomy atmosphere, surrounded by smoke, as if she had entered a fairyland, if it wasn't so suffocating.

The smell of second-hand smoke couldn't be blocked through a mask, but Sanada Ling didn't show any disgust on his face.

There is no other reason, I am used to it, when they encountered cases that could not be solved, they would also rely on smoking to refresh themselves, and she would do the same.

I have no addiction and no hobbies, but I will come to one when I am extremely irritable.

Toyama Ginshiro coughed lightly, and took Sanada Rei directly to the office of the Headquarters of Hattori.

Knocking on the door and entering, Hattori Heizo turned his back to the office, put his hands in his pockets, and looked out the window expressionlessly.

"Pingzang, I brought back a helper for us."

Hattori Heizo turned his head and saw the person behind Toyama, who else is not Alice?
Staring at her for a while, "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came to Osaka?"

Sanadaling sighed softly in her heart, "Walking around casually, I went back in a while, I didn't expect to come across a case by chance."

Toyama Ginjiro added, "When the No. 4 victim committed suicide, she fell right behind her."

Hattori Heizo glanced at her again, without saying a word, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear, what kind of luck is this.

He raised his hand to let the two of them sit opposite each other, "Since all of you are here, you should also listen to this case."

I’ve come here, so I can’t make a trip in vain, no, shopping is not enough, so let’s go to the police station in Osaka.

Hattori Heizo picked up a folder on the top shelf of the desk and handed it to Rei Sanada, "Let's take a look."

Sanada Ling took it and opened it. On the first page of the folder was a photo of the deceased, with a smile on his face, lying flat on the concrete floor, with a pool of dark red blood stains behind his head.

Hattori Heizo's face was gloomy, "Now it can be directly determined that this series of cases is a serial murder case, and the murderer is the same person or the same organization."

"Half a month ago, I received a call from the police officer in the jurisdiction. In the area under his jurisdiction, there was a series of unusual suicide cases in a junior high school, and the victims were very similar, which attracted great attention from the local area."

"All the victims were students of the school. Wearing school uniforms and smiling, they jumped from different tall buildings in the city and died calmly."

"During the investigation in the school, these victims were just nodding acquaintances, and some of them didn't even know each other. They were of different ages and circles."

"And during the investigation, we found that this suicide case was as early as two months ago. A freshman jumped off the school's teaching building. She also had a strange smile on her face, but she was not wearing a school uniform."

Sanada Ling has already turned to the earliest case analysis. The photo in the upper right corner is not at the scene of the crime, but a passport photo. The thick bangs block most of the brows and eyes, the face is stiff, the eyelids are drooping, and the corners of the mouth are bent Typical evasive face.

"Did no one call the police to investigate?"

"I checked," Toyama Ginshiro answered, "When we discovered this case, we interviewed all the people related to this girl, and their evaluation was not very good."

"Solitary, weird, indifferent, neurotic, these are all the impressions of her classmates and teachers. She has no friends in school, and no one has seen her walk in with other people. She often walks alone."

"The academic performance is not very good, and the family situation is also very bad. The parents divorced and reorganized their families. No one cares about this ex-child. It was an uncle who took her away when he saw her pitiful, but her aunt was not very happy. That is to say."

"There were indeed bruises left by long-term violence on the injury report at the time. While suspecting her aunt, school violence was not ruled out."

"The reason why I didn't notice this is because almost everyone thought that she couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed and committed suicide. No one in the family came to the school to make noise because of her affairs, so they just paid some money and let it go."

Listening to the analysis, Sanada Ling glanced at the time of death on the autopsy report. He fell to his death around eleven o'clock at night, and the small broken school did not have a night shift guard patrolling. It would be early when the person was found the next day. Thoroughly.

Coincidentally, the school's equipment is aging, the monitoring equipment is out of order, and there is no money to repair it, so I don't know anything about what happened that night.

Sanadaling tapped the folder twice with her fingertips. What a coincidence, the equipment is aging, and it doesn't break sooner or later, but it happened on the day of the accident.

"Where's her body? How did you deal with it afterwards?"

Toyama Ginshiro: "The family members were taken away from the police station and directly cremated."

"What about the rest of the victims?"

"Except for today, they are all at the local police station."

Sanada Ling flipped through the victim's information, and there were strange smiles on their immature faces. If they hadn't joined some cult organization and were brainwashed, there might be another possibility.

"Hey, do you think it's very likely that these people were hypnotized?"

Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginshiro met eyes, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Sanada Ling closed the folder and placed it on the desktop, "I want to go to the autopsy room first, and then go to the local police station in the afternoon, is that okay?"

Hattori Heizo nodded, "Yes, I will send someone to take you there later."

When Sanada Ling got up to leave, she stopped, took out a work card from the drawer and handed it over, "It will be much more convenient for you to wear it."

Sanada Ling reached out to take it, and pinched it directly to the edge of his collar, "Thank you, I'll go first."

"Go, Yuan Shan, protect her."

Toyama Ginshiro nodded, "I understand."

They hope that this child can help them solve the case as soon as possible, but the premise of all this is that she will not be harmed at all. Calling people over is to brainstorm ideas, not to bring disasters to others out of thin air.

Sanada Ling left the office and followed Minister Toyama directly to the dissection room.

On the stainless steel bed, there is a human silhouette under the white cloth sheet, "Shigang Forensic Doctor."

Forensic doctor Shi Gang, who was recording the data, turned his head and stood up immediately, "Minister Yuanshan, why did you come here in person?"

Toyama Ginshiro: "Just come over, is the autopsy report out?"

"It's out, it's out, I'm recording, what news do you want to know, I'll just tell you directly."

Without waiting for Minister Yuanshan to inquire, the forensic doctor Shigang opened his mouth and said all the information he had obtained from the autopsy, "The deceased fell from a high altitude and landed on the back of his head, hemorrhage in the brain, shattered occipital bone, massive hemorrhage in the chest caused by severe impact, contusion of soft tissue, excessive blood loss. Many, fractures all over the body, and the final cause of death was excessive blood loss.”

"Other than that, there are no other obvious injuries on the body."

Sanada Ling took two steps forward, put on disposable rubber gloves, lifted the white sheet, and fixed her eyes on the corpses, scanning them one by one.

A forensic diagnosis can't be wrong, but she prefers to find out on her own.

There were times when the dead told her far more than the living.

Forensic doctor Shigang was stunned for a moment, he wanted to speak to stop this child who appeared out of nowhere, and he saw the work card on her collar, so he couldn't speak rashly.

He could only look at Minister Toyama with blank eyes, "This, this"

Toyama Ginshiro patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, leave it to me here, you can continue to write records."

Forensic doctor Shigang just sat back in front of the computer in such a dizzy state. As soon as he put his fingers on the keyboard, the door of the dissection room was suddenly opened from the outside, accompanied by a familiar loud voice, "Forensic doctor Shigang, has the autopsy report come out yet? I want to see it."

Before Shigang's forensic doctor could speak, Hattori Heiji rushed over and saw two people next to the deceased.

"Uncle Yuanshan and Alice?!"

Sanada Ling raised her head and greeted the astonished young man, "Hatchet-kun, long time no see."

Hattori Heiji looked around her twice, "You, her, you." Why are you here?

Toyama Ginshiro coughed lightly with his fist on his lips, and explained briefly, "The deceased jumped from the building and fell right next to Alice. I went to the scene to find out the situation and brought her back."

Hattori Heiji frowned tightly when he heard this, and said to Sanada Rei with a complicated face, "Next time you want to come to Osaka, call me in advance, and I will pick you up."

You, the magical magnetic field, every time you come to play alone, you will be involved in a big case as soon as you come. If you are a timid person, I am afraid that you will never want to come to Osaka for the rest of your life.

Then I thought of something, and added, "Our Shitennoji Temple in Osaka is very famous. If you have time, would you like to pay your respects?"

Sanada Ling re-covered the white sheet and threw the gloves into the waste basket, "Okay, I'll go and have a look when this matter is over."
