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

Most police officers were sent out to visit residents around the area where the missing person was active.

He was called back by Aoki An.

Following Aoki Yasu's call, the police captains split into three groups and quietly sneaked into the three locations marked on the map under the cover of night.

The target is the basement, and the basement floor and walls must be investigated.

Two of them are deserted at night.

It provides some convenience to the police departments cooperating in the investigation.

Only in "Mi Zhai" was there someone inside.

It's just a room on the second floor of the house.

Aoki An called the police captain who came with him and found an excuse to talk to the owner of the house. Following the natural visiting process, he asked the residents in the house if they had seen the missing child, and observed their reactions.

With the police chief coming, the Mi family naturally did not dare to be negligent.

Aoki An took this opportunity to sneak into the backyard and begin investigating.

In fact.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Qingmu An smelled a different scent.

It was a foul smell, very faint and light.

However, after years of service as a police officer, Aoki An has a very sensitive sense of smell.

It was because of this that Qingmu An's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

A terrible premonition spread in my heart.

Aoki An became extremely anxious.

Chapter 221: Who is the evildoer?

Aoki An followed the smell and came to the house at the back of the yard.

The door to the back room was locked.

Aoki An calmly took out the lock-picking tools from his pocket.

The lock was useless to Aoki An.

The lock is opened by just twisting the slender tool on the lock for a few seconds.

When he pushed the door open, Aoki An discovered that this was a room for storing miscellaneous items.

Qing Mu An closed the door gently and took out a flashlight to feel around.

Looking around, there were many boxes stored in the house, which contained ordinary table salt and some desiccants.

After searching the house for a while, Aoki An found a passage leading underground.

He crept down cautiously.

Discovered that there was an open area underground.

In other words, this place has not been specially developed and decorated.

The walls are made of thin wooden boards, as is the floor.

The stench of the dead body became stronger here.

But it's just a little stronger.

Immediately afterwards, Aoki An took the pickaxe he carried with him and casually pried open a board on the ground.

It was pitch black below, and he had to take out his flashlight to illuminate the area.

This photo.

What caught my eye was the face of a mummy.

Aoki An's hand trembled and he almost dropped the flashlight.

There are dead bodies here...

The other brothers can withdraw, and some can go back to fill out the formal search warrant.

The rest of you should come here.

Aoki An looked around vigilantly and walked to the corner.

I turned on my phone and saw that the signal was full.

Aoki Yasu called Tachikawa Momoki, explained the situation briefly, and also told Tachikawa Momoki the specific address of the house.

Aoki An chose to lean against the wall to make the call because he was worried that someone would attack him from behind while he was on the phone.

Now, after making the phone call, no sneak attack happened, and Aoki An felt a little relieved.

however……

Just as Aoki Yasu stood up from leaning against the wall.

The fragile wall behind him seemed to be stimulated by something and "tightened" along with Aoki An's movements.

Immediately afterwards...

With a slight "crash" sound, several boards of the fragile wall broke.

A large pile of fine white sand fell from the back wall.

Seeing the pile of white crystal powder, Aoki An widened his eyes in horror.

This is simply not the type of soil that could possibly be found on the land here.

With a rustling sound, more and more white powder fell, and finally a small human figure popped out from behind the white powder.

Aoki An's eyes widened. He wanted to scream, but he covered his mouth with his hands.

He saw clearly...

What came out of the wall was a dried mummy.

In child form... a mummy.

The head of this mummy is very dry, and the corpse has become a skeleton. The part below the neck is carefully wrapped in linen, just like an artifact unearthed in ancient Egypt.

With trembling hands, Aoki Yasu sent messages to other police inspectors who followed him, including the police officer who pretended to visit the Ya family.

Aoki An couldn't stand it anymore.

He picked up the tools in his hand and started hammering on the wall.

There is a mummy on three of the four walls.

More than just the wall was chiseled.

Aoki An also dug the ground.

Seven mummies in total...

The originally clean and spacious basement instantly turned into an archaeological site.

What evildoer is responsible for this?

The truth seems to have surfaced.

These white crystals are large amounts of salt.

After dehydrating the bodies and burying them in a pile of salt, the odor will be much less.

Why did the murderer kill them?

Why did the murderer mummify the body?

What does this mean?

After receiving the message from Aoki An.

The inspector who was visiting upstairs immediately took control of Ya Hiroki.

The rest of the police officers also rushed over.

A cordon was quickly set up here.

Like wolves smelling meat, the crazy reporters began to gather information frantically, and then reported the intelligence they had as soon as possible.

Overnight, everyone knew about it.

The next day.

Shuyue and Kanda Yui came to school together.

During this period, birds brought in some gossip.

Shuyue walked on the school road while listening to the birds' reports.

After hearing this, Shuyue's expression disappeared.

When they arrived at the teaching building, Shuyue looked at Kanda Yui who was walking beside him, "Ya Hiroki was arrested by Aoki Yasu."

Kanda Yui looked confused.

They were just discussing Ya Hongshu's suspicion last night, and had no intention of interfering in this matter.

Sayuri Araki only provided a tiny clue.

How did Aoki Yasu do it?

Shuyue continued, "You two slept last night, but Inspector Aoki came to visit again after his investigation. I refused the meeting, so he didn't get to see me, but he took the map that Sayuri had marked earlier."

Kanda Yui asked in surprise, "Did he investigate according to the instructions on the map?"

"Yes." Shuyue was also a little surprised, "Maybe this is fate."

Three circles and three noun clues helped Aoki An find the victim's body.

However, this is not enough to convict Ya Hiroki.

Hiroki just lived there, but he was still a child.

Aoki An is once again facing the problem of juvenile delinquency and must be in a state of panic now.

After explaining the situation clearly on the first floor of the teaching building, Shuyue and Kanda Yui no longer discussed Ya Hiroki.

Shuyue didn't know Ya Hongshu in the first place, so he didn't want to pay too much attention to this matter.

After arriving at Class 4.

Chi Shang Jingyu, as usual, greeted Shu Yue with a smile.

Shuyue nodded and smiled as a return gesture.

During the break, Shuyue and Kanda Yui were still sitting in their seats.

The students in the class formed their own small groups and gathered together to whisper.

They all mentioned something about Class 1's Ya Hongshu.

However, Ya Hongshu is just cooperating with the investigation now.

There is not much evidence to prove that he is the murderer.

at the same time.

In the reception room on the second floor of Yinyue Group’s office building.

Aoki Yasu came again and he knew that Shuyue and Kanda Yui had already gone to school.

But Aoki Yasu also knew that Sayuri Araki was on leave from school, and when she was not taking exams, she was working in the company.

Aoki Yasu came here to seek help from Araki Sayuri.

Unfortunately, in Shuyue's absence, Yanzhu blocked Qingmu'an's way.

"...How can you let a child do something like investigating a case? Isn't that your job as a police officer?"

Yan Zhu looked unhappy and expressionless, as if the dark night was dead silent.

Her complexion looked radiant under the pale light of the reception room.

She is elegant, yet full of ghostliness.
