Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

Could it be... this is the legendary black bodyguard?

But he still hurried over.

"My name is Ninomiya Kinji, acting as president. I heard you two are planning to go directly to the scene, right? We have a special car ready. This incident has a serious impact. The children there are all missing from the surrounding towns in recent years.

That place has been abandoned for quite a while. We chose it because they offered a cheap price and there were some young and strong people in the town. We didn't expect such a big incident to happen. It's my responsibility..."

He came up wanting to admit his mistake, but fortunately he didn't come up with any tricks to shirk responsibility. This guy is pretty good. I heard that he is kind to others and works extremely hard. That's why all the other shareholders were beaten up and handcuffed, and after the middle-level clerical staff were cleared out, he was elected by his fellow workers to contact the upper management.

"Very good, let's go to the scene quickly."

Chapter 366 You can’t do this! No!

Kerry flew directly to Hokkaido in two hours, but there was chaos in Tokyo because of their actions.

It was discovered that the team was divided, one person went to the southernmost part and the other went to the northernmost part, and the entire police system was in chaos again.

Combined with the recent case of children being dumped dead in an abandoned factory in Hokkaido and their actions at the music festival.

The Metropolitan Police Department speculated that there must be a major incident and immediately contacted Kirito hoping to find out the situation.

After knowing the general situation, people were immediately sent to the two places.

Not only that, some other people were also extremely anxious.

After discovering that there was someone next door, the excited Yuno Agatsuma was busy at home for half an hour, making beef stew in red wine that she made herself.

Just say that she made too much and my mother asked me to bring it over.

As a result, she just put on her gloves and walked out the door with the pressure cooker.

I saw a person next door talking to Ob, a string of letters.

"Huh? I heard that dear went back to Tokyo? Is he not here?"

Wu Jialuo curiously peeked into the house.

"He's not here, and you don't have to take what he says so seriously."

Xiangzi hesitated for a while. She thought anyone could tell that Krina on the boat was joking, but she didn't expect the girl to be so serious.

"Oh, I know you're joking, dear, but it's okay not to get married. I just want to have a baby with him, right?"

Wu Jialuo continued to stretch his neck and look intently, with an expression that said there was something wrong.

"Besides, just because he didn't agree doesn't stop me from pursuing him."

Xiangzi looked a little unhappy as he was about to go out with the list in his hand.

How shameless!

Inwardly, I criticized the girl in front of me for having such distorted values.

Teacher Daxiang had a cold face.

"I told you, Danzo is out."

"Okay, okay, don't be so fierce."

Wu Jialuolu walked away somewhat disappointed, looking back every few steps.

After she left, Xiangzi noticed that Yuno was holding a big pot and looking at him with her pupils shaking.

"Yuno, have you and your family adapted to living here recently?"

Facing this little fan girl who seemed to be his, Xiangzi showed a gentle smile.

"Well, I'm quite used to it. This is some extra beef brisket that Mom made. Let me bring you some."

"Oh, Ms. Xiguo? Then thank her for me. However, Danzo and the others are not here, so I have to go out now.

I'm a little sorry, you can give it to Lihuajiang over there. By the way, I really need you to take care of Xiaomu's matter before. How is she?"

"Ms. Ruoye is still recovering and is in good health..."

Yuno stared at the receding figure with lifeless eyes, speaking like a puppet.

"Oh, that's good. Thank Reina for me too. I'm leaving now. Let's go, Shiro."

Looking at Xiangzi wearing a pink helmet and riding away in the distance, Yuno could no longer hold back. The pressure cooker in her hand fell to the ground, and a small amount of soup spilled out.

What? What? What? Why would a woman suddenly call Danzo-sama "dear"? "Stab you to death, stab you to death, stab you to death, this is too much, too much..."

"That's too much!" An angry cry came from the street entrance, making Yuno say what she thought she had said without realizing it.

When she listened carefully, she realized it was a male voice. She looked up and saw a tall, red-haired high school student and a small, elderly man kneeling in front of two men at the street corner who she had observed for several days and was certain were plainclothes police officers.

"I! I was here first! It's okay if I met them first! It's okay if I saw my father first! Why! Why did that idiot dad go out with them first! Quack!"

"It's Yujiro, why don't you fight in my underground arena! You can't do this! No way! Are you abandoning me? Arrange a special plane for me to Hokkaido immediately!"

Yuno shuddered all over at the noise. She lowered her head and picked up the pressure cooker, ready to wipe it or send it next door. The rest of the things could only be dealt with slowly.

...On the other side, in Hokkaido, a small town at the foot of Mount Aibetsu.

Section Chief Ninomiya parked the car and opened the door for a few people. Kerry and Kazuma, who were unaware that Tokyo was in chaos at the moment, got out of the car.

The first feeling everyone has when arriving in Hokkaido is the coolness. Although Japan is not a big country, it is a long strip, so in Hokkaido, even in the hot summer of early August, the perceived temperature is only around 27°C.

Right in front of us is the factory that was originally scheduled to be acquired. In fact, the acquisition intention was decided by the previous president.

It just so happened that the Shinomiya family ceded their shares and withdrew their people, so Kirito came to take over, and the contract was signed, so he was too lazy to change it. Anyway, Kerry and his people had no shortage of cash flow.

This place had already been blocked off by the Metropolitan Police Department, with cordons and anxiously busy police officers everywhere.

There are several little kids involved, this is no small matter.

Even the neighboring Higashikagura Town sent police support.

Many policemen came and went, investigating the surrounding traces, but found nothing.

Not far away, you can hear the crying of the victims' families as they are comforted by the police.

I don’t know if that cry was the final despair after countless days and nights of searching for my child who had gone missing, with no peace of mind and no sleep.

"Well, this is it. Previously, this place belonged to the local government. Our company has only signed a letter of intent, so we don't need to worry about compensation."

Ninomiya stepped forward to explain the situation, but he actually had no idea why the boss came to this place.

The Metropolitan Police Department would not allow irrelevant people to enter, and as a potential landlord, he suggested that the company pay the local government a penalty for breach of contract and cancel the deal.

After all, if the families knew that the factory was related to them, who knows how they would make a fuss.

He saw that the president was young and might not understand these things.

When he was about to explain the pros and cons, he saw the person next to their boss who said in the message that he was a secretary, and he walked straight up to him.

The brown-haired boy went up and showed something, and then the police over there immediately picked up the phone and started talking. Within a few seconds, they opened the cordon and let the three people in.

"what?"

Ninomiya, who had a lot to say, was completely confused.

No, boss, how did you get in?

what about me?

He turned left and right, not knowing whether to go or not. Finally, he had no choice but to sit in the car with a sad face and wait for news.

As soon as I entered the factory, a police officer came over to explain the situation.

"Mr. Shimura, is that right? According to the latest preliminary investigation report, several of the children who were victims may have died of starvation.

The autopsy hasn't been conducted yet, but doctors have found no severe external injuries or obvious marks on the victims. Several of the deceased had moss on their fingers, suggesting they may have tried to eat moss from the abandoned factory before starving to death. This is very strange, as the local government and nearby residents claim this abandoned factory was locked year-round..."

Chapter 367 Have you seen her?

Copper-stained pipes are connected in rows, and dark, unknown stains are spreading on the abandoned assembly lines.

A single-layer cheap welded staircase connects the upper and lower floors of the abandoned factory. Every time you step on it, the soles of your shoes are covered with rust scars of different patterns.

Even though it was still afternoon, the opaque factory only had a few square windows letting in sunlight, and most of the white lines marking the victims were drawn where those spots of light fell.

It can be imagined that before those children died, they were probably looking at the outside world just across the wall but unable to leave. Perhaps the laughter of other children after school would be transmitted into the factory from those places, but they could only turn into dry bones eaten by flies here.

After hearing the results of the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation, I still have 100 or even 90 percent doubts about the Metropolitan Police Department's ability to do its job.

However, the three people present still frowned.

Keri and Kazuma exchanged glances.

They had planned to conduct a quick investigation, and if it was man-made, they would immediately execute the murderer and then rush to Kumamoto.

However, judging by the current strange situation, it is impossible to extricate ourselves so quickly, although no strange smell has been detected in this factory yet.

But, I looked at the white lines drawn where several victims fell.

Many of them fell directly at the factory entrance or at some small entrance and exit.

However, according to the results of the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation, there was no sign that the doors were locked at all. The only door that was locked all year round was the main entrance of the factory. There were many openings in this dilapidated factory that even a child could escape through.

The outcome would most likely be that someone kidnapped the children, armed them and prevented them from escaping, ultimately starving them to death.

But this seems very strange. According to the photos left by the Metropolitan Police Department members when they just took over here, there is a thick layer of dust on the factory floor, but there are only intricate footprints of children on it, as if they had moved around in this factory freely during their lifetime.

But no trace of adults' footprints was found at all.

"Is it possible that an adult used a method similar to stilts, standing on a prosthetic limb and then wearing a child's shoe on the prosthetic limb to confuse the Metropolitan Police Department, or is it a crime committed by a peer?"

Kazuma looked at the police officer who came to report the situation.

"Well, we haven't considered that at the moment."

The police officer spoke very guiltily.

"Tsk."

Kazuma feels that if there must be a human culprit, it is likely to be someone his age.

Even though the victims are all elementary school age, school bullying in elementary schools is also very terrifying. It is not impossible to trick classmates into coming here and lock them up to death.

It seemed that he also realized that his incompetence had displeased the two gentlemen from Tokyo and the terrifying man next to him.

The police officer kept wiping the cold sweat from his head and bowed his head to apologize.

"I'm very sorry. Although we didn't find any clues at the scene, people nearby would have noticed something about this kind of crime. If preliminary investigation shows that no outsiders have come to the town, we can initially suspect that this was done by a resident of the town."

"afraid!"

The police officer who was speaking felt his shoulders sink and a huge force appeared on his shoulders.

He looked up and was horrified to see the tall man looking at him with an extremely unhappy face.

"Stop saying these things here. These are things that everyone can think of. If your role is just to make noise, get out."

“This… is! Yes!”

The police officer was so frightened that he was shaking all over and was about to retreat.

"Have we let you go yet? Give me all the information we know about you."

Kazuma was called back.

Looking at Yujiro and Kazuma, he was at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat, and felt like crying but had no tears.

……

By dusk, the police officer understood the current situation and, under Kerry's orders, hurriedly visited local residents.

Only two policemen were left to guard the scene, while the rest dispersed to investigate. Most people actually returned to the police station to organize the information after collecting it.

Modern crime solving relies more on conventional criminal investigation methods such as evidence testing than on reasoning. If evidence cannot be photographed, the most common practice of the Metropolitan Police Department is to drag it out. Only when the social impact is greater will a special task force be set up to continue investigating.

Kerry and his companions did not destroy the scene at will. If this was really a man-made incident, they were not experts in solving crimes, so they should wait for professionals to arrive.

Kerry and Kazuma planned to follow the classic investigator search method. Since there was no problem here, they decided to take a look around first.

Walking out of the factory, I watched the streets gradually become less crowded at dusk.

This remote town didn't seem to have much of a nightlife, and as time went on, an uncomfortable but indescribable feeling enveloped everyone.
