I'm making ghost stories in Tokyo

Chapter 18 Don’t believe it
Kansai Police Department.

Nagano and Xin looked at the information in front of them, his face full of confusion.

Two video footages proved that Shiratori Masamune disappeared from the human world for several minutes and then reappeared as a corpse.

The corpse died in a strange way.

A foreign victim was captured in the photo, but his information was not found in the entry and exit visa. It was as if he appeared out of thin air.

This case is shrouded in mystery from beginning to end. According to Fujiwara Yasushi's report, this may be the third type, that is, an alien incident.

嗏

Nagano and Xin shook their heads, still refusing to believe such a thing.

As a member of the old Chinese clan of Fuso Country, he is an absolutely powerful figure on Blue Planet.

He had never heard of such things as aliens or super powers in this world.

In his opinion, this was just a particularly difficult case to solve.

He said, "Inspector Fujiwara, I admit that this case is extremely bizarre. Please let me know if you need any resources."

Nagano and Xin believe that Fujiwara is exaggerating and his real purpose is to get his full support so that he can solve the case.

Fujiwara Yasushi took a deep breath.

He really believed that there might be something unusual in this case.

He said: "Mayor, we at the Kansai Police Department are powerless in this case. I would like to request technical assistance from higher authorities."

"Nonsense!"

Nagano and Xin cursed: "Do you want Tokyo's tentacles to reach Kansai?"

Nagano and Shin are representatives of the Chinese ethnic group, while those who are opposed to the Chinese ethnic group are the new-style politicians supported by the United States.

The Kansai Local Police Bureau is one level higher than the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Bureau in the Kanto region.

How could he tolerate the power of new politicians extending into his territory?

Fujiwara Yasushi was silent for a while, then he said, "Then I will apply for the cooperation of the publicity department to let the citizens of Kansai be more vigilant and not go out at night."

Nagano and Xin still shook their heads.

He said: "Those who died are members of some extreme organizations, right?"

Fujiwara Yasushi said: "Mayor Nagano, judging from the way the deceased died, this could not be a vendetta between Yakuza organizations."

“We cannot rule out the possibility that the criminal gangs behind this may target ordinary citizens.”

Yongye and Xin walked back and forth.

He thought for a moment and refused, "Inspector Fujiwara, the number of unnatural deaths in Kansai is between 6 and 7 people every day. Even if the criminal gang behind this kills one person a day, it is nothing more than adding one to the death toll."

"I won't let the propaganda department cooperate with the propaganda."

"If it causes panic and affects the Kansai economy, the damage will be much greater than the death of a few people."

"and…"

Nagano and Xin looked at Fujiwara Yasushi coldly. Because of that incident, he promoted Fujiwara Yasushi to the position.

Now it seems that he is rebellious and difficult to tame.

This is not a good thing.

Nagano Kazuko said, "Superintendent Fujiwara, didn't I promote you to this position just to solve these little troubles?"

"Please don't make it difficult for me."

The room fell silent again.

The corners of Inspector Fujiwara's mouth twitched. He proposed the gimmick of the third kind of contact because, firstly, he really believed it. Secondly, if he couldn't convince the mayor, he at least hoped to get the cooperation of the propaganda department to make the citizens more vigilant. He could play a role in informing and feel a little relieved.

Now, both of his plans have failed.

Is the small economic loss really more important than human life?
How much economic loss would result from informing the public that the Kansai region was in danger?

On the scales, is the price of human life so worthless?
The burn scar on Fujiwara Yasushi's right forehead began to hurt again, and he seemed to be back in the fire scene.

He took a deep breath and said, "I know."

...Inside the bureau.

The conversation between Mayor Nagano and the superintendent took place in the task force office. Before the conversation, they had already kicked everyone else out.

Everyone in the police station was working in their usual offices.

"Here, coffee."

A female police officer handed Fujiwara Saeko a cup of black coffee, and Fujiwara Saeko took the coffee and thanked her.

As she stirred the coffee stick, she felt bitter in her heart.

I was busy all night last night and haven't slept yet. I still have to rely on black coffee to stay alive and alert.

After stirring the coffee, Fujiwara Saeko took a sip of black coffee. The black coffee was so bitter that her pink tongue was numb and it made her feel like her life had become bitter.

She took out the stirring stick and tried to throw it away.

"Hey?"

Looking at the stirring stick in her hand, Fujiwara Saeko had a flash of inspiration and a memory came back to her.

'I had a dream'

'I dreamed that I was being chased by Shiratori'

'Then he was beaten to death by a man with a spoon'

Fujiwara Saeko remembered that before Shiratori Masato disappeared, Uehara Tetsuya seemed to have said something like this.

spoon!

The gray-clothed man reached into his pocket and recalled in his mind the silver, iron object he took out. If it was a spoon...

Thinking back to the cause of death of Shiratori Masato, the forensic examination showed that he was hit by a small metal object.

Fujiwara Saeko shuddered. It couldn't be such a coincidence?!
No, no, no, how could there be such a bizarre thing in the world.

But Fujiwara Saeko changed her mind and realized that even Shiratori Masato could disappear before her eyes, so it wasn't that outrageous that Uehara Tetsuya had a precognitive dream, right?
Fujiwara Saeko stood up and wanted to tell her uncle about this clue.

Suddenly, she hesitated again. Is it necessary?
It was just a strange dream that gave me a premonition. How can it help the progress of the case?
Just then, the cell phone in her pocket rang.

Fujiwara Saeko picked up her phone and saw that the caller ID was Tetsuya Uehara.

After the body of Shiratori Masato appeared, Uehara Tetsuya proposed that he should stay and cooperate with the investigation.

For his safety, she arranged for Tetsuya Uehara to stay in a small hotel and placed several plainclothes police officers nearby.

Looking at the caller ID, Fujiwara Saeko's heart tightened. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

She felt both anticipation and fear.

She had a premonition that after answering this call, the world would begin a new chapter.

She picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Tetsuya Uehara said that he had a new strange dream, in which he dreamed that new monsters appeared and new victims were about to appear.

Fujiwara Saeko rushed out quickly.

……

Inside a small hotel.

Tetsuya Uehara looked at the score numbers that kept jumping in front of him.

[User: Lin Mu]

【Points: 10000】

[Owns Strange Stories: Rainy Night Killer (3), Spoon Monster (2)]

Because Master Shiratori disappeared in public, all the police officers who witnessed this scene became a steady source of points, and Lin Mu's points broke through the 10,000 mark in one fell swoop.

Tetsuya Uehara observes the movements of the Kansai Police Department from a bird's eye view of placing strange stories.

He saw a man who looked like a leader enter the police station and have an argument with Inspector Fujiwara.
