Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 265: The Whisper of the Dead
Even though Fushimi Shika was a well-informed person in his two lives, he was still stunned at this moment.

The main reason why he kept tinkering with this wooden box was because of the strange stitching on the tail, which said "breeding corpses". Coincidentally, when the assistant was taking the props, he was watching and found that the size of the secret compartment was just enough to hold a corpse...

Who can resist unboxing this?
He originally thought that after opening it, he would find an incorruptible corpse of some kind from the Tantric Buddhism, or at least he would be able to see a wonderful tool for communicating with spirits. Who knew it would be such a weird thing.

Fushimi looked it up and down, and guessed that it was the same as the three tree men in the garden pavilion. It seemed that this tree man was neither planted nor carved, but raised from corpses, which was even more disgusting than before.

Seeing this scene, everyone had different expressions.

Yuan Yuzi took a deep breath, and all kinds of terrible speculations popped up in her mind; Yazaki Momo took out her camera and started to take pictures; the assistant was panicked, covering his mouth and nose and backing away; Ono Ken just came out of the bedroom, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost...

Seeing his assistant's behavior, Fushimi Shika realized that this thing was poisonous, so he immediately pulled Yuan Yuzi back and covered her mouth and nose.

When he retreated, other people also reacted and there was a sudden chaos in the hall. Ono Xuan wanted to go back to the room to inform the mistress, and the assistant Jun would rather get soaked than leave the old house. Fushimi Shika and Minamoto Tamako had the same idea and rushed over at the same time to catch people.

The assistant was thrown to the ground, with Fushimi Shika on top of him. Gen Yuzi spoke very quickly, "You have the right to request to contact your family or hire a lawyer. You can remain silent about questions related to this case, but you must answer questions directly related to the case truthfully..."

Fushimi Shika looked surprised and turned around to ask, "What are you mumbling about?"

"Huh? Isn't that what we taught during the orientation? After arresting a suspect, we first read out the rights according to the usual practice..."

"Too amateur, watch me."

Without saying anything, Fushimi Shika slapped the assistant twice, one on each side, until he was dizzy. He then asked in a stern voice, "Tell the truth! What is your purpose?!"

The assistant was about to speak when Fushimi Shika slapped him twice, making him see stars. Yuan Yuzi quickly grabbed his arm to stop his partner from using lynching: "Stop hitting him! He's about to confess..."

"What do you know? He is deliberately showing weakness to make you lower your guard so that he can take the opportunity to escape... This behavior is resisting arrest. It is in accordance with the regulations for me to hit him a few times." Fushimi Shika lied.

Yuan Yuzi was not a fool, so how could she be fooled by such nonsense? She spoke again to stop him and calmed him down.

Fushimi Shika refused to give in, pulled out his police gun from his waist, and shouted that he would shoot anyone who resisted arrest; Yuan Yuzi was shocked and asked him when he took the gun. Fushimi Shika explained casually that he had never returned the police gun, and it was too troublesome to register it in the equipment room every time, so he might as well lock it in the bedside table and wait until the routine inspection before taking the gun back to the police station.

Yuan Yuzi was very angry and claimed that this was a violation of the rules. Police officers must turn in their equipment during their leave. How could he hide it? The police station's rules and regulations clearly stated that this was a major hidden danger! Moreover, the suspect had lost the ability to resist, so how could he be shot to death? Isn't this intentional homicide!

"I don't care! I have tolerated this group of charlatans for a long time. Today I must kill him and take it as a way to eliminate harm for the people!" Fushimi Shika was very excited. He took off the safety and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the assistant's forehead. He looked like he was having a mad attack. Yuan Yuzi was so scared that her face turned pale and her voice was shaking. She kept persuading Fushimi Shika to calm down. One of them took the initiative to play the bad cop and the other played the good cop unintentionally. With a few words, they broke down the assistant's psychological defenses. The latter confessed everything in one go, fearing that he would be punished if he spoke too slowly.

"That, that's Nue tea..."

The assistant confessed tremblingly that he had been an apprentice of Onoue Feng for five years. During these five years, he had basically figured out all of Onoue Feng's tricks, except for the "whispering of the dead" in the spiritualist ritual, which he could never figure out.

The so-called "ghost's whispers" is to use a spiritualistic ritual to let the client see the deceased with their own eyes - because of the separation of Yin and Yang, the living cannot hear the voice of the dead. The Okaesu acts as a medium, speaking on behalf of the ghost and communicating with the client... This process is called the ghost's whispers.

At first, the assistant thought it was some new scam; but before long, he found that it was not just some specious rhetoric. The client actually saw the dead soul, so he paid a large sum of money to pay for it. As a result, the reputation of Tail Sew also rose.

The assistant wanted to find out the secret. As long as he could figure out the method of "the whispering of the dead soul", he could get rid of the Osaka Seam, start a new business, and go to Hokkaido to be a psychic, and he could also make a lot of money...

However, Onoue never mentioned the core "business tightness". Every time the assistant asked indirectly, she would scold him and tell him not to have any messy ideas and to be an apprentice for ten years. She would naturally pass on her legacy when she was old.

The pie was drawn too bluntly, and the assistant couldn't chew it. He thought that the best years of youth in life only lasted for ten years, so how could he waste it on an old lady with a weird temper?
He made up his mind to observe day and night, spy on him secretly, and take the initiative to take care of Ooue Feng's daily life. After watching him for two years, he finally found a clue.

Before each spiritual ceremony begins, Onoue would personally make a cup of tea for the guests, saying it was for calming the mind, and he never let his assistants do it for them.

The assistant thought there was something wrong with the tea and wanted to find out where it came from, but he found that Ooue had never purchased tea publicly... Ooue must have some secret channel or some secret recipe, and the mystery of the 'whispering of the dead' lies in it.

The assistant couldn't wait any longer, so he secretly installed a camera in Onoue's house, ran the wire into the sewer, and squatted under the manhole cover to spy - wireless technology was not so popular in those days, and the wired camera alone was very expensive, and it cost him a lot of his savings.

At that time, he endured the stench, stared at the black and white screen, and finally found a clue.

Oue no Hibiki went into the bedroom closet in the middle of the night and stayed there for half an hour. When she came out, she had a small bag in her hand, which was probably tea leaves.

The next day, Onoue Feng was still drunk and did not return home.

The assistant took the opportunity to sneak into her bedroom and carefully opened the closet door. A strong stench hit him in the face. The ground was covered with a layer of soil. A man's body was half buried in the soil, and the upper half of his body was covered with fungal spots that looked like tree bark.
