The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 726 Hope and Despair (29)

"Old man." Qian Xiaoyi parked his motorcycle, walked over and greeted Ashiya Yoshisuke, then turned to look at the priest and asked, "Who is this..."

Ashiya Kichisuke said, "Father Kamino is also an exorcist. He was the one who found Fushigi's... body."

"Hello, Mr. Psychic Detective. I have heard of your name a long time ago." The priest said, "I am Kamino Yoshiyuki, a priest at a church nearby. Mr. Fushiki's matter... is really regrettable."

He looked worried, as if he was grieving the death of his colleague.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Father Kamino said: "Before I found Mr. Fushiki's body, I was still in the church because I was holding a memorial service for a believer who unfortunately passed away tonight, so the church was closed very late at night. When I was in the church checking whether the doors and windows were locked, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be movement outside."

"Noise?" Qian Xiaoyi was a little confused.

Father Kamino glanced at the nearby police and whispered, "That's right... we psychics were able to detect that kind of movement... I thought Mr. Fushigi was fighting an unidentified enemy at the time, so I immediately went out to check the situation."

"Why do you say the identity is unknown?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Didn't you see the murderer?"

"No." Father Kamino shook his head and sighed, "When I came out and rushed to the scene, Mr. Fushiki had already collapsed here... When I came, he seemed to still have a breath and wanted to tell me something, but before he could say it, Mr. Fushiki passed away..."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Why is he here?"

Father Kamino shook his head: "I don't know, but it is very likely that he was being chased by the enemy, and then he suddenly remembered that I was nearby, so he wanted to ask for help... but it was still a little short... If I could have noticed the abnormality faster, maybe Mr. Fushigi would not have died so easily."

"Father Kamiya, don't blame yourself." Qian Xiaoyi said, "It was his own unauthorized actions that caused the disaster... Father, did you really not see any trace of the enemy?"

"No." Father Kamino shook his head. "I've heard about him too. He should be hunting down the saints of the Church of Hope, right? Maybe when he was hunting down the saints, Mr. Fushigi underestimated his opponent's strength, which led to this situation... Now we can only rely on the police investigation to see if they can find any clues."

"Where is the body?" Qian Xiaoyi looked around.

Father Kamino said, "They have been sent away. Because I was the first person to discover him, the police needed me to stay and take a statement. After I found Mr. Fushigi, I first called an ambulance and then the police, but it was too late."

"How was he killed?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Where's the murder weapon? And where's the knife in his hand?"

"No." Father Kamino shook his head: "Whether it is the weapon that killed him or the weapon you said he took, none of them were at the scene. It is possible that the murderer took them away."

"Really?" Qian Xiaoyi fell into deep thought.

At this time, Xing Changrang appeared in front of them. He greeted Qian Xiaoyi: "Hey~ Great detective, Heitaro."

Without waiting for Qian Xiaoyi to respond, he turned to Ashiya Jisuke and said, "I've checked the surrounding area, and there are no traces of my knife."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ashiya Kichisuke nodded, and then explained to Qian Xiaoyi: "Because this matter involves the demon sword of the Xingchang family, I also called Arang over in addition to you."

Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Can we go and see Fuki Yin's body?" "It should be no problem." Ashiya Jisuke said, "Father Kamino will also go to the police station to take a statement in a while, let's go together, I will find someone I know and ask him to make some concessions and allow us to see Fuki's body."

"That's good." Qian Xiaoyi looked at the scene where Fu Muyin died. At present, he really couldn't get more information from here, but Fu Muyin's death...itself was a clue. Why did he die here? Was there a saint nearby? Or...

He looked at the amiable Father Kamiya, who was talking to a police officer and did not notice Qian Xiaoyi's gaze.

Thanks to Yoshisuke Ashiya's help, they arrived at the door of the Metropolitan Police Department's autopsy room. The forensic doctor will conduct a thorough examination before giving a detailed investigation report.

Even in the middle of the night, the forensic doctor was still busy working. Fushigi Yin had committed several murders before, so after knowing his identity, the police did not dare to be negligent and immediately started working around the clock.

After waiting drowsily for a while, the forensic investigation results finally came out.

"The cause of death is..." Xingba took the report and looked at it carefully, then was shocked: "How is it possible! Are you sure?"

"What?" Qian Xiaoyi frowned, leaned over to check, and read: "...the cause of death was suicide?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke was also very puzzled: "Suicide..."

Modern trace detection can easily simulate the situation at the time from the deceased. According to the angle of the wound and various traces, that kind of wound can only be caused by the deceased himself.

Hoshiba Rang said: "It's so weird. Even if Fushigi Yin lost the support of Miss Yoko, he wouldn't be so weak. He was actually controlled by the enemy to commit suicide? This is too exaggerated. How strong is the enemy? In this case, there is no evidence left, let alone finding the murderer through various clues."

Ashiya Yoshisuke said worriedly, "Even the demon sword was taken away by the murderer. This is really difficult to deal with. If the enemy uses it against us, the situation of the Blue Oni will happen again. We must find the whereabouts of the sword as soon as possible."

"Being controlled... and then committing suicide? Is that really the case? Is there another possibility?" Qian Xiaoyi thought silently.

After a long moment, he asked, "Can we see the body with our own eyes? Perhaps we exorcists can discover something?"

"Yeah." Ashiya Jisuke nodded: "I think so too."

After Yoshisuke Ashiya's intervention, they were allowed to enter the autopsy room and see Fushiki Haru's body.

It was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Qian Xiaoyi felt the reality completely. It seemed that Fu Muyin was really dead.

Inuyama Heita, who had been following silently at the side, now felt nauseous. He remembered seeing a living person who was still alive and kicking, but now he was lying on the dissecting table. This contrast, coupled with the smell of blood in the air, made Inuyama Heita cover his mouth and run out of the door, as if he was going to the toilet to vomit.

"Hey, great detective, why did you bring Heitaro here?" Hoshiba Rang complained, "This is not a place for children to visit. Look, you've scared him."

"My fault." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Young people have been a little arrogant recently, so I brought him here to see the real world, that's all."
