Chapter 289 Bizarre Case

"Endo, let's go see what's going on there."

Posing his head, he glanced at the crowd in front of the old school building.

With a curious expression on Shimada's face, he pulled Endo by his side and walked towards the direction of the crowd.

Letting Shimada pull his sleeves towards the direction of the old school building, Endo didn't show much resistance on his face.

In fact, he wished he could spend more time at school.

"what's going on?"

Joining the crowd, Shimada glanced at the serious-looking policeman at the gate of the old school building, and asked a question to the students beside him.

"It is said that a teacher died in the art room."

"what?!"

Hearing the other party's answer, although Shimada had expected it in his heart, he still couldn't help showing a somewhat surprised expression.

"...it's Mr. Tanaka, who teaches art. I heard that some students heard cries for help from the old school building, and when they entered, they found that Mr. Tanaka was dead. Even his head had been chopped off. All the students who saw it were frightened..."

"Beheaded."

Facing what the classmate revealed, Shimada swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and looked at Endo beside him.

The surprised expression was also seen in the opponent's eyes.

The practice of beheading is an extremely cruel method even in homicide.

"...Tanaka-sensei has been preparing in the art room in order to complete his exhibition these days. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing in the end."

"Who would have done it? Cut off all the heads. This kind of killing method is really cruel."

In the distance, the expressions of several teachers were also a little sad and mixed with a little fear.

"It should be some perverted murderer who chopped off Mr. Tanaka's head. It is said that Mr. Tanaka's head was found on top of the plaster statue he made."

……

"Report, the murder weapon has been found..."

Inside the old school building, the police from the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department looked at the entire crime scene with serious expressions.

Because the whole case was so bizarre, the police officers of the police department did not dare to tell the public the truth behind it.

Except for a small number of Horikawa high school seniors who know the real reason for Tanaka's death.

The investigation result given by the Foreign Police Department is that Tanaka encountered a murderer who broke into the house in the art room and lost his life.

Looking at the sharp machete that his colleagues found, Yamamoto turned his head and glanced at the death scene in the art room.

Although the head and body of the victim had been sent out of the school immediately, even the broken plaster statue was also collected as physical evidence.

However, whether it is the blood on the ground or the headless statues standing quietly around.

All gave Yamamoto an inexplicable sense of gloom.

"Statues kill."

Suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Yamamoto glanced at the surrounding statues, then lowered his head and said to himself.

"Could it be that the students who killed the teacher were those students who appeared at the scene of the crime. They blamed everything on the statue, trying to cover up their actions with ghosts and gods?"

Similarly, the police of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department are skeptical about the statue killing that took place in the old school building.

After all, only the few students who reported the crime knew about the whole incident.

Others, including them, the police present, did not see the statue attack.

The testimonies of a few students alone are not enough to prove that all this was done by the statue. On the contrary, compared to the absurd thing of killing a statue, the students have more criminal motives.

"If it was before, I wouldn't believe in such things as statues killing people, but..."

In this regard, Yamamoto's expression was a little noncommittal.

The case of Watanabe Keiko has completely broken everything that Yamamoto has always believed in.

If there are ghosts and gods in this world who can make phone calls to retaliate against bullies, then the murder of the statue's resurrection does not seem to be a surprise.

"What's more, among the students at the scene of the crime, apart from Inoue who has always maintained a good teacher-student relationship with the victim Tanaka, the other students did not know Tanaka or even Inoue, one of the parties involved. Under the circumstances, why would they help Inoue lie."

"According to the testimonies of those students, when they broke through the wooden door of the art room to enter, Tanaka remained active all the time, and they even had contact with Tanaka at that time..."

"In short, before investigating the truth of the case, we cannot rule out the possibility that the statue killed someone."

"Also, don't you think that the statues around you do seem to give people a chilling feeling..."

……

Because of his physical condition, he asked for leave early, and Kojima didn't know what happened at school.

Under the advice of the teacher in the infirmary, he found a dermatology clinic near the school.

dermatology.

"No matter how you look at it, it seems to appear directly on the skin..."

Touching his chin and leaning towards Kojima's body, he noticed the red sutures. Even a dermatologist could hardly give a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon on his body.

"However, the shape of this bright red color gives people a feeling of being sewn on."

"But doctor, these red lines were not on my body at all before yesterday. If they were sewn on, there should be wounds on my body instead of what I have now. I don't feel much."

"This is indeed a bit strange."

Shaking his head, the doctor picked up the pliers in his hand and touched the red thread on Xiao Dao's body, and the look in his eyes became more puzzled: "Also, if it's a suture, the pliers should be able to easily cut it short, not like Now even the pliers can't cut off these red lines."

When the doctor first saw these red lines on Kojima's body, he tried to remove them, but obviously did not get very good results. These red lines were beyond imagination.

Shaking his head, he really couldn't figure out what exactly appeared on Kojima's body.

The doctor could only guess based on past experience and said: "If according to what you said, all of this is not caused by humans, then it can only be inferred that this is a rare and unknown skin lesion. Special reasons or allergies have caused the horniness of your body to change, and these things similar to sutures have appeared..."

"I still need to find out the specific reason. All I can do now is to prescribe you some common ointment for skin diseases. Try rubbing it to see if it can relieve the disease on your body."
