Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 41: Resurrection of the Skeleton

Heavy fog after snow.

Fifty-one students and fifteen instructors formed a long-distance training team. They walked along the mountain road that was covered with weeds. The snow and fog were like a thick veil, white and pitch-black.

Instructor Bai Tian made the decision, under the pretext of strengthening the trainees' character, to have them hike out of the Snow Mountain with sufficient food and water - as for the graduation exam results, they would not be announced until the statistics were settled.

The cold wind rushed in from his collar, and Xiu was frozen like a quail, shrinking his neck and following the team. He heard some students talking about Instructor Bai Tian, ​​and couldn't help complaining to his teammates: "That is to say, don't you think Instructor Bai Tian has gone too far?"

"well enough."

Miyu had her braids wrapped around her collar, and with the thick fat on her chest to keep warm, she was more resistant to cold than the boys. She said casually, "Instructor Shirata is a superintendent, a first-class police officer known as the Devil Detective in the industry, and the detective team he leads is famous for its discipline. Besides, isn't he also leading the way in front? And he's only wearing a single layer of clothing."

"Eh……"

Xiu had a bitter face. He didn't expect Miyu to speak up for the instructor. "Why would such a capable person, who hasn't reached retirement age, become an instructor?"

"I heard that he was punished for dereliction of duty, so..." Miyu's voice stopped abruptly. She glanced at the dejected Yoshimura Yu and swallowed the second half of the sentence: "I don't know the details."

"I see," Xiu turned around and teased Yoshimura Yu who was walking on the other side, "Maybe he ended up being an instructor at the police academy because he lost his gun."

Yoshimura Yu's face was tense, and his thick eyebrows were like a knotted caterpillar. The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally twice, and he quickened his pace, leaving Hide behind.

"Oh, sorry, I was just joking..."

As Xiu Ze spoke, he lowered his voice as he saw Yoshimura Yu walking away and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's not funny." Miyu exhaled a puff of white mist and changed the subject: "But you guessed it right."

"What did you guess right?" Xiu Ze was confused.

"I heard that Instructor Shirata was demoted because he lost his police gun." Miu paused and added, "I just heard it. It could also be a rumor."

"what?"

Xiu's first reaction was that he was not fired for losing his police gun, but was only demoted. How powerful must his background be? Then he heard Miyu say that it might be a rumor, and he was relieved. He thought that Instructor Shirata really didn't seem like someone who would make such a low-level mistake.

The two chatted about random things for a while, but their energy was quickly exhausted. They no longer had the heart to chat and just focused on getting on with their journey.

Instructor Shirata's destination was the small family hotel mentioned by Fushimi Shika, located 30 kilometers east of the foot of the mountain, which was the closest place to them. After arriving at the hotel and settling the students down, he borrowed the hotel's phone to ask for help from the school.

Until now, the students had believed that the hike back was part of the exam. If they knew that their instructors had completely lost contact with the outside world, they would surely panic and bring shame to the school afterwards.

Instructor Bai Tian had already agreed with all the other instructors to explain that a car had a flat tire on the road and the test items were temporarily changed.

The two instructors who were handcuffed by Fushimi Shika were extremely dissatisfied, but when they thought about how their reputation would become "the instructors who were beaten up by graduates" and "I heard they like to read pornographic magazines" if this matter got out, where would their dignity be in the future? How could they survive in school? They could only choose to cut their losses in time and swallow their losses.

As the saying goes, he who steals a hook will be put to death, and he who steals a country will become a prince. As long as the mess you make is big enough, you can get everyone to clean up your mess together.

After walking for five hours, the fog became so thick that it was impossible to identify the direction. Instructor Bai Tian had to let the team rest in a leeward place and wait until the fog cleared before setting off again.

There was a cave on the back of the cliff. Vines hung down, covering the entrance. It was a good place to avoid the wind and keep warm. The students filed in, pounding their sore muscles. Just as they were about to sit down and have a good rest, they heard a scream from deep in the cave. "-Ah!"

Meiyu fell to the ground, her face pale. The students gathered around and followed her gaze, only to see a skeleton covered with spider webs half lying in the corner of the rough cliff.

"What? I thought there was a bear..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and lost interest.

Miyu panicked and grabbed two teammates and said, "This is obviously not a body arranged by the instructor, right? There is a dead person."

Yoshimura Yu looked out of the cave with a cold face, and no one knew what he was thinking. He responded casually, "So what? There are so many people missing in the mountains every year. Isn't it normal to have one or two bodies?"

"But, but..."

"It's okay," Xiu Ze said perfunctorily, "I've already seen fresh corpses, so why would I be afraid of a few rotten bones?"

Miyu swallowed her saliva, mustered up her courage and said loudly: "It's not a question of being afraid or not. This is a case. Shouldn't we do something?"

Hearing this, the students dispersed one after another. They were too lazy to care. Since it was not a test question set by the instructor, why bother to meddle in it? The instructor would not give extra points! It would be better to save some energy so as not to fall behind during the hike.

Instructor Shirata stood up and motioned for Miu to find a place to sit and rest. As for the skeleton, he would report it to the local police station after the exam, and a specialist would come to collect it.

Miyu felt a little relieved, and sat side by side with her teammates, sighing: "I don't know if we can find out his identity and contact his family."

"That's impossible, right? It's already so rotten." Xiu Ze said.

Miu hugged her knees with her hands and whispered, "If Tamako-san were here, she would definitely be able to find out."

Yoshimura Yu snorted disdainfully.

Fushimi Shika caused him to fail the exam and was humiliated in public by the instructor. He was filled with resentment and hated Gen Tamako as well as the whole family.

Xiu Ze rubbed his arms and said with a wry smile: "Let's not talk about this topic. It feels creepy to stay in a cave with a corpse..."

As he was speaking, he subconsciously glanced back and saw that the skull leaning against the stone wall suddenly tilted, and the dark eye sockets were facing him.

"Uhhhhh!!!"

Xiu Ze was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He pointed at the skeleton and screamed, "It's moving! The skeleton is moving!"

At the moment he finished speaking, everyone looked back and saw the skull of the skeleton rotating on the cervical vertebrae, and the dark eye sockets seemed to look around. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and got goose bumps.

What's going on? ! !

The Skeletons are resurrected!!
