Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 261: Death of the Psychic

The two looked at each other and immediately returned to the lobby.

Gen Yuzi pushed the door open and before she could ask what happened, she saw the body of Onoue Feng at first sight - the latter was slumped on the sofa, soaking wet, his face was pale, his mouth was wide open, and his chest had stopped moving.

It was Ono Xuan who screamed. She pointed at the seam on the tail and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a while.

The others were startled by her scream and returned to the lobby. Only Fujiwara Takashi was still in meditation in the reception room. After hearing the scream, he panicked and practiced even more seriously.

Faced with the murder case, Gen Tamako's DNA moved. She didn't care to be afraid and rushed over to check. She confirmed that Mrs. Onoue's heart had stopped beating and her iris had dilated. She couldn't feel her pulse with her hand. She was dead and her heart sank.

Then, she began to investigate the cause of death. In front of everyone, she pinched Mrs. Onoue's face and looked at her again and again: there were scattered hemorrhages on the conjunctiva of the deceased's eyes, mushroom-like foam on her mouth and nose, and purple bruises around her lips. If nothing unexpected happened...

"He drowned," said Yuan Yuzi.

Ono Xuan covered his mouth and nose, took a step back, and couldn't help but exclaim again.

How could a healthy and living person drown in the lobby?
After asking around, Gen Yuzi realized that no one was in the lobby: she and Fushimi Shika were of course not talking, while Mrs. Kiko and Ono Ken were in the bedroom, discussing whether to transfer the old house; the assistant had been holding back for a long time, so she went out to smoke two cigarettes; Yazaki Momo ate too much honeydew melon, felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and went to the toilet...

"Could it be, could it be that it is really the young lady's ghost who killed Mrs. Onoue?!" Ono Ken's voice trembled.

When the spiritual ceremony was interrupted just now, Mrs. Onoue also had the same abnormality. She vomited a large amount of clear water from her stomach, as well as a carp...

Thinking of this, Ono Xuan turned his head and saw that the carp on the ground had turned white.

If it was hearsay, Yuan Yuzi might be afraid and suspect that it was an evil spirit; but now someone died under her nose, she had to get to the bottom of it no matter what - even if there really were monsters and demons in this world, Yuan Yuzi had to find proof of their existence!

She immediately called for reinforcements and wanted the local police station to help investigate the scene.

However, the police informed that the mountain torrents had blocked the road and two police officers had lost contact on the road. They were asked to stay indoors and not leave rashly. The police could only arrive at Wulin Temple after the rain stopped at dawn.

Hearing this, Yuan Yuzi was not afraid, but became even more excited.

Isn't this a classic plot in detective novels? A murder occurred in a mysterious villa. Everyone panicked, but found that the road was blocked by mountain torrents and the police could not arrive. The murderer hid among the innocent people and continued to commit crimes before dawn. For a time, everyone was in a panic...

This is her favorite scene from Stormy Hill!!
Yuan Yuzi was deeply involved in the situation, and a sense of mission suddenly arose in her heart. Now she is the great detective that everyone is looking forward to, and everyone is counting on her to solve this mysterious case. She can't bring shame to the Toshima Ward Police Station!

"The ghosts of the dead are asking for our lives, that's all nonsense!"

She spoke loudly, looked around, and said: "There is a murderer hiding among us..."

Logically, the extras should have said: "Great, it's Detective Okko, we're saved!"; "What? How could it be possible? Who could commit a crime under such circumstances?"; "No matter what, I'm leaving anyway"... In short, similar lines can arouse readers' expectations and highlight the great image of Detective Okko.

However, the reality was more bleak than she had imagined.

Momo Yazaki raised her camera and took pictures of the corpse non-stop; the assistant looked terrified, slumped in the corner, covering her face with her hands, muttering to herself; Ono Ken and Princess Kiko huddled together, both looking uneasy, talking in low voices, and no one knew what they were talking about.

Gen Tamako turned her head, hoping that Fushimi-kun would say something to support her, but she saw Fushimi-kun knocking on the wooden box, as if he was preparing to pick up the props of the deceased.

Well, it doesn’t matter if no one supports her, Detective Tamako has taken over the case anyway!

Gen Yuzi took out a small black book from her pocket, found a quiet room, and proposed to interrogate everyone one by one. The others had no objection and all cooperated with the investigation. The first person to be interrogated was Ms. Ono Ken, the housekeeper, maid, and cook of Wulinan.

Yuan Yuzi sat upright on the futon, her face tense and ruthless. She asked seriously, "Excuse me, was Miss Ono with Mrs. Kiko the whole time when the incident happened?"

Ono Xuan hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth: "We separated for a while because after the spiritual ceremony, there seemed to be a strange sound coming from upstairs. I was worried, so I went upstairs to check..."

Gen Yuzi remembered this. She also heard it at that time. There seemed to be a sound of a sliding door being opened on the second floor. She originally thought it was the noise caused by Fujiwara Hō, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Ono Xuan paused and continued, "After going upstairs, I found that Miss Akishino's balcony door was open, and the rain was drifting in, and the tatami was soaked..."

"Who opened the door?" Yuan Yuzi asked, "Did you see anyone acting suspiciously?"

"I don't know," Ono Ken shook his head. "There's no one in the room. I looked around and Mr. Fujiwara is still in the reception room...but his condition is a little strange."

"Hmm? Tell me in detail." Yuan Yuzi frowned.

Ono Ken gave a brief description, and after listening to it, Gen Tamako felt that this was a suspicious point, so she wrote it down in her small notebook: "Section Chief Fujiwara's behavior is abnormal."

Then, Gen Tamako asked a more pointed question: "What was your relationship with Miss Akishino when she was alive?"

"its not bad, right……"

"Did you ever argue?"

"No, I still know my limits," said Ono Xuan.

Gen Tamako asked some more details, such as how Princess Kiko contacted Mrs. Ageonue and when this old house was inherited. Ono Ken knew nothing about it. Mrs. Kiko did not report everything to her, so it was normal for her not to know these things.

Seeing that nothing valuable could be obtained from the interrogation, Minako asked Princess Kiko to interrogate her. As the latter was a member of the royal family, she did not dare to be disrespectful and maintained courtesy during the interrogation.

As usual, her first question was what Princess Kiko was doing when the incident happened. There was nothing suspicious about the latter's answer. She was in her room considering whether to transfer the old house.

Afterwards, Gen Tamako asked Princess Kiko if she really believed that there were ghosts in the world. Princess Kiko thought for a moment and said, "I think... No, I hope there are."

"why?"

"In this way, I can see them again." Princess Kiko sighed.

Minamoto Tamako's face showed understanding. The "they" here probably refers to Prince Akishino. It seems that Princess Kiko still has deep feelings for her late husband.

Then, she repeated what she had asked Ono Ken, and Mrs. Kiko answered them one by one:

She did not take the initiative to contact Mrs. Onoe, but she recommended herself. She heard that she had a good reputation, so she agreed to hold the spiritual ceremony at home. This old house was adopted by her after the death of Prince Fumihito. Before the lawyer counted the inheritance, she and her husband had visited and lived here many times.

Finally, Yuan Yuzi showed his true colors and asked, "Excuse me, where did you get the tea you served us this morning?"
