Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

This matter was finally pushed out of the Tokyo Police Department like a ball, and it was resolved satisfactorily.

After that, Qing Mu An felt awe for Shu Yue and Yun Yusuan.

If he really encounters difficulties at work, Qingmu An will be the first to seek help from Yun Yusuan.

After all, Yun Yu is a professional Taoist priest, so maybe he can find some clues through metaphysics.

As for Shuyue, to be honest, Aoki An is still a little scared of him.

Since we met by chance today, let’s seize the opportunity.

Aoki An whispered, "...It's like this, I'll use A to represent this missing boy..."

Aoki An spoke softly, as if he was telling a story.

It is said that this boy, A, helped his mother deliver items for the Ullambana Festival to his grandmother's house half a month ago.

In Japan, there are very few children like Shuyue who have a driver to take them to school every day.

Most children have been crossing the road and taking the tram to and from school by themselves since they were very young.

Therefore, adults are very confident that their children can travel alone.

A boy went to deliver something to his grandmother as his mother asked, and then disappeared.

After boy a went missing, his mother called the police. The police chief immediately learned about the situation and visited boy a’s grandmother’s home.

Grandma said she hadn't seen boy A for a whole day.

Available road surveillance showed that the child had safely gotten on and off the vehicle.

But nowadays, road monitoring equipment is limited.

The inspector searched the entire area but found no clues.

The case was promptly reported to the higher police station.

As a result, the case summary showed that this was the seventh case of missing teenagers since the summer vacation.

Tachikawa Moki believes that there is a high probability that these cases are related.

In other words...it is very likely that it was done by the same person.

Based on the surveillance footage he could access, Tachikawa Momoki felt that the boy must have disappeared after getting off the bus.

Now all the police officers are out, holding the child's photo, and investigating the surrounding area starting from the bus stop, trying to find anyone who has seen teenager A.

It was finally found that teenager A got on and off the bus normally and there was nothing unusual during the period.

After getting off the bus, boy A bought a glass of fruit soda at the snack shop behind the station.

There were no clues after that.

The case is now at a standstill...

When Aoki Yasu came, he brought a lot of information.

I hope Yun Yu can "calculate" the clues of the missing person.

You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.

Instead of being like now, where everyone is in a state of panic.

After listening to this, Shuyue was not very interested in this matter, but he seemed to have thought of something, so he handed Aoki Yasu's file to Kanda Yui.

Out of habit, Kanda Yui listened carefully to Aoki Yasu's description just now.

Kanda Yui looked through the information given by Aoki Yasu. She stroked her chin and said, "...these seven missing persons are of the same type."

Aoki An looked confused. Of course he knew that they were of the same type, both teenagers and both male.

However, Kanda Yui added: "The time intervals between the cases are regular, and the murderer's level of crime is extremely stable, with a strong personal touch."

When he heard this, Qing Mu An looked at the quiet girl beside Shu Yue with some surprise.

But Kanda Yui continued, "The murderer should be a local... Judging from the information of the recent missing person..."

Kanda Yui pointed at the photos on the investigation report.

This is what the missing person's room looks like, and the police who visited took pictures of it.

Kanda Yui said: "The police found a large number of comic books and membership cards for the comic cafe in his room, as well as the latest PlayStation released in the past two months, which also contained our new game "Angel Symphony".

"From this, we can infer that this child is a fan of comics, music and games."

"He often goes to the comics cafe, but judging from other photos, his family is not well off. Where does his pocket money come from?"

Chapter 217: The Child Who Has No Money to Buy Comics

At this time, Aoki An looked at Kanda Yui with great admiration and replied: "Your inference is correct. This child cheated his sister and aunt out of money just to buy comics."

"After being beaten up, he stopped cheating people out of money, but because of his age, there wasn't much work he could do."

"So he collected scrap and old books to sell for money. The PlayStation was cheaper than previous game consoles, so his mother gave him some money to buy it."

"He was so happy that he never left the house before, so he took the initiative to help his mother deliver things to his grandmother's house, but... he never came back."

Aoki An sighed.

No matter how you look at it, this missing child is a good kid. Although he made mistakes in the past, he has corrected them now.

At times like this, when a child goes missing, the whole family is devastated.

Kanda Yui frowned and said, "If we give this information to Sayuri, she should be able to find the body, right?"

"Ah?" Qing Mu An looked confused.

Shuyue glanced at Kanda Yui and smiled, "Then... let's go back to the company to find Sayuri first."

Shuyue knew Kanda Yui very well, and she was probably able to handle this matter independently.

However, because of what she had seen and heard, Kanda Yui did not want to bear the limelight and risk alone.

The current Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri.

We make money together, shoulder problems together, and go to jail together...

Xiaoshan quickly drove them to Yanzhu's company.

It was afternoon now.

School ends early.

Other companies are still operating normally.

The moment of getting off the car.

Qing Mu An looked up.

The fiery red sunset in the sky shines obliquely on the office building in front of us.

In the orange-red world that is about to set.

All the windows of the office building were dyed red by the setting sun.

Aoki Yasu followed in the footsteps of Shuyue and Kanda Yui and stepped into the lobby on the first floor of the office building.

Along the way, security guards in neat uniforms bowed respectfully to Shuyue.

Aoki An followed Shuyue with an expressionless face. The long brown windbreaker on him gave off a sense of armor.

In order to prevent Aoki An from disturbing the Rat Group's work, Shuyue called Shinki Sayuri to come out of the studio on the first floor.

Shuyue greeted Yanzhu, then took the two girls to the meeting room on the second floor to discuss the case with Qingmu An.

Shuyue did not participate in the whole process, but just provided the venue and watched silently.

Watching Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri working diligently is also a form of impromptu entertainment.

When Kanda Yui was looking at information about Sayuri Shinki, she told Aoki Yasu that Sayuri Shinki had been learning criminal psychology since she was a child and had seen all kinds of perverted cases. She understood the mentality and methods of most criminals.

Aoki An's expression is hard to describe.

Aoki An had heard from Tachikawa Momo about Sayuri Araki. She was very beautiful, but a born criminal.

She used to be protected by her mother, but now, after following Shuyue, Shinmu Sayuri seems to have become a good child.

This is what Tachikawa Momoki would like to see. It would be great if Shuyue could curb the evil of Araki Sayuri.

After Shinki Sayuri finished reading all the information.

She said the same thing Kanda Yui said in the car.

Then, Araki Sayuri said, "...This child must have been on his way to deliver something and passed by a bookstore or newsstand, so he stopped on the way before going to his grandmother's house."

Hearing this, Qing Muan frowned, "You mean..."

"His mother gave him some pocket money as a reward for his hard work, so that he could buy something to drink on the way." Shinmu Sayuri said, "When you visited here, you found that he bought a drink at the store behind the station after getting off the bus."

"This kind of fruit soda is the cheapest. After he bought this bottle and drank it, he still had some money left over from the money his mother gave him."

"Then... he came across a newsstand or something like that on the way and saw the comics he wanted to read..."

As she spoke, Araki Sayuri looked at Shuyue with a smile, "Shuyue, how much does the weekly magazine "Jump" cost?"

Before Shuyue could answer, Kanda Yui beside him immediately replied, "260 yen."

When he heard this number, Aoki An's eyes widened.

Then I heard Shinki Sayuri ask, "What about the comic book? How much is one?"

Kanda Yui immediately responded, "The common 32-carat size is generally priced between 390 yen and 410 yen, because it includes tax;"

“If it’s not a hot seller, it might be 457 yen;”

"The price of a larger 32-page single-volume edition is 500-600 yen;"

Sayuri Araki nodded. "That is to say, based on the clues provided by the missing person's mother, if you subtract the money she gave her child for the soda, he would have less than 260 yen left, which is not enough for him to buy any books..."

Qing Muan stood up suddenly, "That's right...he..."

Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri looked up at Aoki Yasu without saying a word.

Aoki An sat down awkwardly.

But I heard Sayuri Araki continue, "The child doesn't have enough money to buy books, but is attracted by the comics that come to mind. So, he will stop at the newsstand, intending not to buy anything, but will finish reading the sample books."

Many children have tried to get books from bookstores for free.

Didn't buy it, but watched it.

It’s just that you can’t collect it, but it’s normal to enjoy it with your eyes.

As she spoke, Araki Sayuri took out paper and pen.

She began writing as she spoke, "The suspect should be a thin man, so his targets are children, not adults."

"He should live near a newsstand, bookstore, or comic book cafe. We can stake out his position there."

"The crime scene was not far from my home. The victims were all thin teenagers of this age. The murderer invited the victims to play games, read comics, or eat."

"By playing to their needs, they make the victim lower their guard and then commit crimes."

Then, Sayuri Araki unfolded the map that came with Aoki Yasu's information.

This picture has already been painted with colorful colors by Aoki An and others.

However, that's why.

Sayuri Araki can accurately find the location where the recent missing person was described by An Aoki.

On the map, Sayuri Shinki circled the station where the victim got off with a pencil.

Following the station where the victim got off, we circled the store behind the station where the victim bought soda.

Next, Sayuri Araki circled the approximate location of the victim's grandmother's house on the map.

Based on the large map, Sayuri Shinki drew the possible route the victim might have taken to her grandmother's house.

Finally, we located a street that contained a bookstore, newsstand, and various general stores.

Shinki Sayuri circled the shops and said to Aoki An, "As long as you search for information about the missing person within the direction of this road, you should be able to find something."

Chapter 218 What case to solve? I just want to hang out with Shuyue
