Supernatural/Anime Crossover: Where Did My Romantic Comedy Go?

Daisuke Kousaka fell into deep thought.

The others remained silent, waiting for his decision.

"it is good!"

Daisuke Kosaka gritted his teeth and agreed, but then immediately stated his requirements:

"However, I can only let you look from outside the fence; you can't go inside. That's a requirement of the rules and regulations."

"no problem."

Kujo Toru readily agreed.

Anyway, he wasn't a traditional high school detective; he was just going to check if there were any lingering resentments or foul air at the scene to confirm whether any new non-human entities had intervened in the matter.

"Then come with me."

Daisuke Kosaka stood up abruptly and walked towards the back of the police station.

Because Akiyama Shoji was still in the evidence-gathering stage of prosecution and had not yet been formally sentenced, he was simply detained in the police station's internal detention center after the announcement was made, and was not transferred to prison.

This made it easier for Kujo Toru to conduct his investigation.

After all, Ichizaki had no acquaintances in prison, while Daisuke Kosaka was able to make most of the decisions at the police station.

The walls were painted snow white.

The lights were so bright they hurt my eyes.

There were three or four small rooms on both sides of the corridor, which contained nothing but beds and toilets.

The room in the far corner was sealed off with a yellow warning tape.

Kujo Toru remained silent, but a gentle light shone in his eyes as he silently surveyed the room before him.

The air was very clean, without any resentment or foul smell.

Everything seemed normal, as if Qiushan Ying's death was truly a natural one.

But the problem is...

Someone just died last night, how could there be no trace of the deceased at the scene?

It's not like several days have passed; those remnants have naturally dissipated.

"Have you figured anything out?"

Daisuke Kosaka turned his head to look at Toru Kujo.

Instead of answering his question directly, Kujo Toru made a new request:

"Can I see the security footage from last night?"

"Come with me."

Daisuke Kosaka turned around and led him toward the guard room by the door. Superintendent Ando had already pulled up the surveillance footage.

"You can take your time reading, I'm going out for a smoke."

With Ando around, Daisuke Kosaka no longer needed to follow Tetsu Kujo around all the time, so he decided to go out for some fresh air.

Just as he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly looked at Kujo Toru:

"By the way, Kujo, have you discovered any new murder cases lately?"

A question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.

Kujo Toru felt that he was being smeared in some way.

"no!"

He replied to Daisuke Kosaka in an annoyed tone:

"I was busy all night the day before yesterday, and I rested all day yesterday and didn't go out."

Natsukawa Masaki covered her mouth and chuckled.

As the only person present who knew the true situation of Kujo Toru, she could roughly guess what impression the two police officers had of him.

"Really……"

Daisuke Kosaka sighed in disappointment:

"I'm counting on you to perform well and help me solve a problem."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Superintendent Ando knocked on the wall, his tone very serious:

"Kousaka-senpai, while I understand your desire to catch the culprit as soon as possible, Kujo is just a high school student. It's already excessive to ask him to investigate Akiyama Shoji's death. How can we rely on him for something like this?!"

"Um, I'm sorry."

Daisuke Kosaka straightened his back. Although his junior had said something that sounded almost like a reprimand, he wasn't angry; instead, he accepted it earnestly.

"I was a little too hasty."

Natsukawa Masuzu and Kujo Toru exchanged a glance, understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

In the end, it was Natsukawa Masuzu who took the initiative to speak:

"Superintendent Ando, ​​may I ask what specific case this is?"

During the statement taking, she put her social skills to the maximum. Although she couldn't say that she and Superintendent Ando were completely close, they were certainly quite familiar with each other.

However, the other person was clearly a person who followed the rules. He first glanced at the preoccupied Daisuke Kosaka and asked for his opinion:

"Kousaka-senpai, may I ask?"

"Go ahead and say it." Daisuke Kosaka waved his hand. "We were going to release a statement tomorrow anyway, and this matter is also somewhat related to Shoji Akiyama."

"Is it related to Akiyama Shoji? Didn't he die suddenly?"

Kujo Toru slowed down his dragging of the monitoring progress bar and subtly flicked Suzumoto Koko, who was curiously looking up and listening.

"It has nothing to do with him personally."

Superintendent Ando explained, leaning against the wall of the duty room, and began earnestly:

"Copycats, do you know what that means?"

Natsukawa Masaki nodded subconsciously:

"Imitating or copying the criminal behavior of others usually occurs in antisocial personalities who idolize certain criminals."

Superintendent Ando glanced at her with some surprise, not expecting such a high school student to give such a standard answer.

"Yes, last night, someone in Hanamigawa Ward called the police after they discovered a dismemberment scene. No clues were left at the scene."

“We investigated the victim’s background all night last night. She was an ordinary female student at Haneyama High School with no known enemies. An unsigned love letter was found among her belongings.”

"The murderer is imitating Shoji Akiyama!"

Natsukawa Masaki's expression was very serious.

"Correct."

Superintendent Ando gave an affirmative answer and continued speaking:

“A mere few days after Akiyama Shoji’s announcement, a copycat crime has already occurred. If the perpetrator is not found soon, the social impact will be very negative.”

Kujo Toru instantly remembered the vengeful spirit he had exorcised during his morning run earlier that day.

"In short, we will issue a notice tomorrow, telling you high school girls to try to go to and from school in groups, not to accept strange invitations, and not to go to remote places."

Daisuke Kosaka took over the conversation from Superintendent Ando, ​​his face grim, and then looked at Masuzu Natsukawa:

"I remember you're also a student at Haneyama High School, right? Be careful when you go out these days, especially since you're connected to Akiyama Shoji's arrest. Be careful that copycat doesn't take any risks."

"It's alright." Natsukawa Masaki looked relaxed and winked at Kujo Toru: "I'll be a student at Soubu High School starting next week. Kujo-kun will take me home from school, so nothing will happen."

-----------------

Volume 1: Chapter 106 Summer, Fireworks, and Me Under the Tree

Kujo Toru looked up from the screen and glanced at her.

Natsukawa Zhenliang crossed his arms over his chest and smiled proudly.

After learning that Kujo Toru was a student at the General Affairs High School, she began to consider transferring schools.

This whole week has been spent on this.

Fortunately, her nominal father didn't really care about her at all. He only mentioned the incident of a girl falling from a building at Haneyama High School, and then he immediately agreed.

Then, they used their financial power to quickly streamline the relevant processes.

Starting Monday, she became a student at Soubu High School.

I'm quite a clingy guy, you know, Kujo-kun~

The smile on her lips grew even sweeter, and Natsukawa Masuzu couldn't help but hum a soft hum.

This is the perfect opportunity to strengthen your relationship, so hurry up and say yes, Kujo-kun!

"Actually, I'm also very afraid of being confronted by the murderer, so please stay away from me."

The boy's calm voice made Natsukawa Masaki's smile freeze on his face.

Now, the person who was covering their mouth and chuckling became Inspector Ando.

These two are really interesting...

It couldn't help but remind her of her high school days.

"Are you scared?"

Natsukawa Masaki's azure eyes were filled with doubt.

Kujo Toru's words were utterly perfunctory.

He broke into the haunted school building in the dead of night, tore apart a swarm of snakes with an arrow and exorcised the vengeful spirits, scaring the dismemberment murderer Akiyama Shoji so much that he fled everywhere. The way he wielded the knife was more like a murderer than a murderer. How could someone like that be afraid?

Xia Chuanzhen felt that if anyone believed this, they would have it for life and could go and sell that person's health products.

Kujo Toru turned his attention back to the computer screen.

I dragged the progress bar of last night's surveillance video little by little with the mouse, trying to find anything strange.

However, his words remained completely emotionless as he replied to Natsukawa Masuzu's words:

"Although I often discover murder cases and go for walks in secluded places in the middle of the night, I am actually just an ordinary high school student. I am very timid and have never even watched a horror movie."

Because horror movies are all fake, it's not as interesting as encountering a ghost in real life, right?

Natsukawa Masaki glanced sideways and silently muttered a complaint to himself.

She wanted to continue making a move and take the initiative, but then she noticed that Kujo Tetsu's expression had turned serious.

The mouse in my hand drags the progress bar back and forth.

The images on the screen kept repeating.

"Have you found anything?"

Driven by curiosity, Natsukawa Masuzu leaned down, her left hand on the table and her right hand on the back of the chair.

His chest gently pressed against Kujo Toru's shoulder, the scent of shower gel filling his nostrils.

Upon hearing this, Daisuke Kousaka, who was smoking outside, quickly threw down his unfinished cigarette, stomped it out, and rushed inside. He and Inspector Ando looked at Toru Kujo.

"No."

Kujo Toru didn't even blink.

Despite saying that, the others did not show any disappointment, but waited for him to continue.

Pulling the progress bar back again, this time Kujo Toru chose to slow down.

The time displayed in the upper right corner of the monitor is 3:20 AM today.

In the scene with a fluorescent green hue, Akiyama Shoji, dressed in a striped outfit, is lying quietly on the bed, sleeping soundly.

For the next five minutes, he remained in that position without moving.

Natsukawa Masami's eyes were sore from staring, but she still couldn't see anything wrong.

Instead of a clear understanding, a knowing glint flashed in the eyes of Daisuke Kosaka and Superintendent Ando.
