Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 157 Information and Clues

Since there was no way to obtain information from the child's ghost for the time being, Yang Liu could only turn to look for other breakthroughs.

Fortunately, Miyamoto Yugye was not useless in the past few days. He obtained a lot of information through observation and inquiries.

For some reason, this vengeful spirit did not have much aversion to him, and even "stayed" here because Miyamoto Yugye was willing to give it a toy.

Yang Liu checked and found that the rusty chain on the ghost's ankle was broken, which meant that it was not an earthbound spirit from the perspective of the spirit.

In other words, if this vengeful spirit wanted to, it could leave at any time, but now it has inexplicably entangled Miyamoto Yugye.

After collecting a lot of information, Yang Liu stroked his chin and thought for a while, then came up with a "bad idea":
"According to my judgment, this ghost probably thinks of you as some important person in its memory. Judging from the age of the ghost's spirit and your current age, it is likely that you were his brother or a similar person when he was alive...Aren't you an only child? I heard that you only children all want to have a brother or sister. If that doesn't work, just think of him as your brother. Anyway, this little guy shouldn't hurt you."

"!!!"

Miyamoto Yugye didn't say anything, but the blue veins on his forehead already represented his attitude.

"Okay, okay, you're asking for too much. I'll try to find some other clues." Yang Liu waved her hands, looking like "I really can't do anything about you."

Miyamoto Yugye was so angry that his expression twisted and his teeth were grinding: "Teacher...you are too irresponsible, aren't you?!"

"Actually, my idea is very feasible, but you just don't like it..." Yang Liu shook her head helplessly.

Miyamoto Yuye was about to say something, but Yang Liu suddenly raised her hand to block his mouth and stopped him from speaking: "Shh...listen."

Miyamoto Yugye was stunned and also pricked up his ears, and immediately heard a faint sound.

The two followed the singing to the door of Miyamoto Yugyeong's room. Miyamoto Yugyeong wanted to open the door and go in, but Yang Liu silently shook her head to stop him.

The intermittent voice had a meandering melody, sounding like a slightly off-tune nursery rhyme:

"...The eye in the crack of the door...Don't be discovered..."

Yang Liu and Miyamoto Yugye looked at each other.

"Have you heard this nursery rhyme?" Yang Liu asked.

Miyamoto Yugye shook his head vigorously: "Teacher, do you really think this is a nursery rhyme? This tune sounds too weird, doesn't it?"

"Hey!" Yang Liu waved her hands. "Ghosts are all the same. Let's continue with the previous topic. If my guess is correct, although I can't get close to it, you should be able to get a lot of information from it."

"Ah? Me?" Miyamoto Yugye pointed at himself in confusion.

Yang Liu smiled and patted his shoulder: "Yes, the burden of saving a child's soul is on your shoulders! Don't worry, I will summarize the information you need to ask for you."

"No...but...Teacher, I asked you to help me exorcise ghosts at the beginning, right?" Miyamoto Yugye was a little reluctant.

It has not been long since he became a supernatural being, so deep down he still has a great resistance to ghosts and the like.

"There is an old Chinese saying: The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Go ahead, young man. I'm counting on you."

Unfortunately, Miyamoto Yugye's resistance was futile. After preparing a bunch of questions, Yang Liu patted him on the shoulder and pushed and kicked him into the room.

Fortunately, Miyamoto Yuye himself was quite reliable. Soon he guided the ghost to obtain some other information according to the note left by Yang Liu.

"He said he couldn't remember a lot of things, he just remembered his name was Koji.

Just as you thought, he does have an older brother, so he wanted to find the train toy because it was a gift from his brother's scholarship... The rest is not clear. "

Yang Liu nodded slightly as she listened to Miyamoto Yuye's report, and her eyes were also fixed on the ghost in the room.

Many people always have some misunderstandings, thinking that children don’t understand anything, so when they talk about something, they will subconsciously ignore it - even if they were also children themselves.

In fact, children know more than people think, especially children like these who have lived in difficult conditions since childhood. They will mature earlier than ordinary people think.

Just like now, although Koji's spirit didn't seem to move, his subconscious behavior of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people outside the door had been noticed by Yang Liu.

"I have a brother... and my obsession is related to the toys my brother gave me."

Yang Liu was thinking in her heart, her face remained calm, but her voice was slightly raised:
"Scholarship? It sounds like his brother is doing very well in school."

Miyamoto Yugye was slightly startled by the change in Yang Liu's tone, but he also reacted after being prompted by his eyes: "Well, after all, he can get a scholarship, so he must be a good student with good academic performance."

The ghost, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up, smiled smugly, as if he was the one praising himself.

"but……"

Yang Liu suddenly changed the subject: "Based on what he has shown, I guess he can only make a name for himself in high school or middle school. I'm afraid he won't even be able to get into a good university."

"You bullshit!"

A childish and angry voice came, and Koji forgot his fear of Yang Liu and ran to the door "menacingly": "Brother is not like what you said, he was admitted to the ninth university, much better than you!!!"

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Yugyegu subconsciously glanced at Yang Liu, and was too embarrassed to tell Koji that the person next to her was a graduate student from the University of Tokyo.

There are seven recognized top universities in Japan, among which the University of Tokyo is the highest in level, with a status similar to that of Tsinghua University and Peking University in China. The remaining universities are slightly inferior in status, and Kyushu University is one of them.

However, the fact that Koji's brother was admitted to Kyushu University also proves that his academic level is indeed very high.

Yang Liu did not refute his words, but just smiled and squatted down, trying to make her eyes level with the other person: "I see, it was indeed my fault, I am really sorry, I sincerely apologize to you."

It seemed that he did not expect Yang Liu to apologize to him. Haoji, who had closed his eyes after he reacted because he was afraid of being beaten, opened his eyes in surprise.

But it seems that he is not very good at dealing with such things. Koji hesitated for a while and could only nod:
"……Um!"

Looking at Yang Liu who had brought the two closer in an instant, the stunned Miyamoto Yugye behind him slowly gave a thumbs up.

……

……

"This is... really incredible."

In the hospital morgue, Kazuo Kawamoto couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the corpse in front of him.

The corpse lying in front of him was one of the three students who tortured and killed the gangster old man.

Of course, the death of this college student was not caused by gangsters or anyone else. According to the investigation by the supernatural department personnel in the police station, the real cause of death was the erosion of evil spirits.

Next to Kazuo Kawamoto, the doctor he had invited was reading the results of the autopsy:

“Most of the teeth in the mouth were knocked out. Judging from the marks left on the broken teeth, the murderer must have used the lost gun to break the teeth.

Then several fingers were broken, also with a pistol, and all of them were broken violently during the attacker's lifetime.

But other than that, there were no other injuries. Judging from his expression and pupils, he must have encountered something quite frightening before he died."

Kazuo Kawamoto keenly noticed the key point: "You mean his finger was broken?"

"Yes."

The doctor lifted the white cloth covering the body, revealing a horrific pair of hands.

Each of the ten fingers was broken off at the root, with the pale bones even exposed. One can imagine that the person must have suffered tremendous pain before his death.

Kazuo Kawamoto remembered another piece of news: "If I remember correctly, the little finger of the gangster who got into trouble before was also broken, right?"

"Shouldn't you gangsters be the ones who know best about this kind of thing?" the doctor asked back.

Kazuo Kawamoto nodded and said nothing.

In gang culture, severed fingers are a symbol of apology.

If it were earlier, if someone in a Japanese gang got into trouble, they would most likely commit suicide and apologize.

But in modern times, everyone is trying to make a living, and if you do this, no one will follow you, so gradually it became a way of apologizing by cutting off fingers instead of committing suicide.

In fact, it was precisely because the old gangster was missing a finger that he was easily defeated by three college students.

Otherwise, at least he had survived the most turbulent times, and with both hands intact and a pistol in his hand, he would not be completely defenseless.

"It seems... it can be basically confirmed that the evil spirit that attacked the other party was that old man." Kazuo Kawamoto sighed, "It really caused me trouble. By the way, have you found his other two accomplices?"

“Before his death, he was browsing an underground forum called Justice League, but it has now been blocked by the police.

The police targeted two college students through his information on the forum, but the information was leaked for some reason, and when the police approached them, the two had disappeared.

Kazuo Kawamoto couldn't help but pinch his nose, feeling that dealing with these things was more troublesome than being in the underworld:
"This is really troublesome. If those two people die again, things will get out of hand. We must not let it get to that point!
Now that the identities of the two people have been locked down, let someone check them out. Let the police check their means of transportation. Mobilize all your manpower to search the small paths around the city. Since they ran, they definitely couldn't get too far!"

"Yes!"

"Also, take me to the place where this guy died. I remember it was a university dormitory?" Kazuo Kawamoto scratched his hair.

"Yes, it's the Ito Concert Hall in the Ito area."

Due to land shortage, the planning of many schools in Japan is different from that of domestic universities, and many of their dormitories are scattered around the city.

"Okay, take me there." As he said that, Kazuo Kawamoto picked up the phone.
