Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner
Chapter 294 Ghost Dancer
Chapter 294 Ghost Dancer
Once these words were spoken, Pandora's box was opened.
The passengers were talking about how they could walk out of the bonfire unscathed, which seemed miraculous to everyone. You know, the temperature in a bonfire can reach nearly 1000℃, which can burn a person to charcoal in a blink of an eye!
As a professional photographer, Mao Liqi could not stand such misunderstandings, so he quickly explained that this was the effect of the shooting.
After hearing this, everyone understood.
But there were still one or two idiots who couldn't understand it and argued, "But the woman in the film is obviously bigger. She clearly walked out of the bonfire!"
"Well, I've also recorded a clip explaining the situation. Please take a look..."
After Mao Liqi finished speaking, he found that things started to get weird here. Instead of dispelling everyone's confusion, his explanation made them more and more confused.
"I understand, but why is she so big?"
"..."
"I understand the logic, but she clearly walked out of the bonfire."
"..."
"I see. I now understand everything. This woman knows magic and is not afraid of being burned by fire!"
"..."
Mao Liqi couldn't stand it anymore, he slapped the screen and yelled, asking everyone which sentence they didn't understand. The passengers were just teasing him, but when they saw that he was really angry, they all kept silent.
Yuan Yuzi quickly said a few words to comfort him, saying that the matter was not important: "If someone jumped out of the bonfire, someone around would probably notice it, right? For example, this gentleman..."
She stretched out her little hand and pointed at the passerby on the screen. The other person approached the dancer and obviously looked back at her: "Is this gentleman here?"
Everyone at the scene turned their heads and looked around, and an innkeeper in a kimono stood up. He was the passerby in the picture. He was delivering food, passing by the bonfire, and glanced back.
"I didn't see the dancer, I just saw that little girl..."
The innkeeper was very confident, claiming that he only saw Hira Sakurako, not the dancer. Gen Tamako asked around, and found that no one among the more than 100 people present had seen the dancer - even the musicians on the parade said they didn't know her.
Weird.
Everyone was talking about it for a while, thinking that the camera might have captured a ghost, and that the poor innocent girl was seduced away by the ghost.
From this, we can infer that the charred corpse in the bonfire was the dancer, which is why her soul walked out of the flames.
Everyone's story sounded very convincing, and the travelers suggested that Yuan Yuzi and others should first find out the identity of the charred corpse, resolve her unfulfilled wishes, and help her become a Buddha... In this way, maybe she would return the child.
The hotel owners remained silent, perhaps because they were worried that ghost stories would affect the tourism business, and they did not participate in the discussion at all.
The crowd in the banquet hall was clearly divided into two groups, one group was chatting animatedly, while the other group was silent.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuzi took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and reviewed what had happened from the beginning, and found two suspicious points.
First, where did the charred corpses in the bonfire come from?
Normally, the woodpile should have been prepared in advance. The person in charge of the evening party loudly emphasized that before the fire was lit, the temple's novice monks had checked it again and again and there were definitely no Tibetans inside.
In the past, there have been cases of children climbing in to play, so every year before the bonfire party begins, there will be someone responsible for checking. Second, how did the dancer Heping Yingzi disappear in the crowd?
No one present, whether tourists or the boss, witnessed the departure of Hira Sakurako and the dancer. In addition, the identity of the dancer remains a mystery, as passers-by insisted that they did not see her even though she passed by them.
The more she investigated the missing case, the more bizarre it became. Gen Tamako became increasingly upset. The more she worried about Sakurako, the less she could think calmly.
The passengers discussed for a while and became a little tired.
They had eaten the big melon and satisfied their curiosity. Now it was time to take a break, so they all stood up and prepared to leave.
Yuan Yuzi wanted to stop them, but everyone was here for tourism and they had already done their best by cooperating with the investigation. There was no reason to force anyone to stay up late, so she could only watch the people involved leave the banquet hall.
Before leaving, several passengers suddenly remembered Fushimi Shika's promise, and they came forward to ask:
"By the way, wasn't there a grand prize? What is the prize?"
Fushimi Shika put his hands in his sleeves, sat cross-legged on the futon, looked at his nose and heart, and said calmly: "The prize is your conscience... Through cooperating with the investigation this time, your moral level has been further improved, and your conscience is great."
The passengers looked at each other, said "you are sick", and left the East China Sea Pavilion.
In a blink of an eye, only a dozen middle-aged people were left in the banquet hall, all of them hotel owners. They were also ready to leave, but unexpectedly, Yuan Yuzi suddenly spoke up and asked about their progress in counting the number of people.
"I've checked three times, no one's missing..."
"That is to say, if the customers disappeared, I would definitely be more anxious than you."
"It's true that no one has ever seen that dancer. As for that little girl... maybe she was really abducted by a ghost?"
……
Gen Tamako really couldn't think of any clues, so she could only ask Fushimi Shika for help.
Once the case reaches a stalemate, it's time for the stupid assistant to provide inspiration to the wise detective! Although she hasn't figured out the trick yet, as long as she goes to the scene and investigates carefully, combined with Fushimi-kun's "unintentional words", she will be able to reveal the truth in one fell swoop!
Fushimi Shika remembered it clearly. They had been turned away several times before. The innkeepers were very arrogant... Of course, he was not holding a grudge! He was just recalling the case. At that time, the innkeepers had seen Hira Sakurako, Mizutani Hiroshi and Mori Kei. They should have had a deep impression of them. How could no one notice how Hira Sakurako disappeared?
He glanced over the heads of the crowd. Except for a foot fetishist who liked sweaty feet, the guilt levels and bad habits of the others were quite normal, and could even be said to be below average.
Of course, Fushimi Shika knew that the sin value was just a reference item, and he still hadn't figured out the criteria for determining the sin value.
Thinking of this, Fushimi Shika asked everyone what questions Ping Sakurako had asked during her visit.
The hotel owners looked at each other in confusion, and after a moment they answered truthfully, claiming that Hira Sakurako was looking for a woman named "Koizumi Mizuha".
Gen Yuzi knew about this in advance, so she was not surprised. She knelt beside the screen and watched Fushimi Shika continue to question: "So what did you answer?"
No one responded, so Fushimi Shika had to randomly pick someone to answer. The latter said reluctantly, "He disappeared. What else is there to say?"
"I see."
Fushimi Shika did not delve into the matter, but instead asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "So, in your mind, what kind of person is Koizumi Mizuha?"
