Chapter 290 Reporters

"See you tomorrow, Endo, then."

At the fork in the corner, Shimada waved to his friend.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Nodding his head, watching Shimada leave, Endo was silent for a moment, then turned and walked towards the school.

He had a hunch in his heart that the guy who secretly sent his suicide note would definitely appear again.

This time, he will definitely not let the opponent run away by mistake again.

Back to school, due to time constraints, there are still many students like Endo who did not go back.

"Have the police left yet?"

Scanning the police car still parked in front of the school gate, Endo's eyes flickered.

Speaking of which, such a tragic murder case happened in the school, even Endo felt somewhat uneasy. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't let go of the guy who wrote the suicide note, he might not come back after this situation.

"Ok?"

Thinking in his mind, Endo retracted his gaze, but inadvertently saw a hiding figure in a corner not far from the school.

The other party looked a little strange, but it was obviously not the guy he was looking for.

Therefore, Endo only wondered secretly for a moment, and suppressed his curiosity to avoid the guards at the school gate to sneak back into the school.

"Whoo~"

Looking back at the school guard at the school gate, Endo heaved a sigh of relief and clenched the satchel in his hand, and then came to the teaching building in three steps at a time.

With yesterday's experience, Endo didn't take off his shoes this time.

Hiding at the corner of the corridor, he held his breath and patiently waited for the target to appear.

……

"...If possible, I would rather the whole case be a simple homicide case, rather than involving other existences, because in this way, when the investigation results are announced to the public, it will be easier, rather than..."

Old school building, art room.

Yamamoto rubbed his forehead and said with a headache.

Based on Japan's strong bureaucratic style, they often prefer to conceal rather than announce their attitudes towards problems. The same is true for the Keiko incident in the time capsule this time.Although the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department reported the incident to the cabinet as soon as it was discovered, it is no surprise that the order from the Metropolitan Police Department was to prevent the news from leaking at all costs, even if the order issued by the Metropolitan Police Department , has lost its meaning before reaching it.

Because of Keiko Watanabe's weird story, it has already spread to the entire Horikawa High School campus.

However, the police department still did not waver.

In other words, even if there is a new arrangement, it must wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to complete its evaluation.

From this point of view, it is in line with the traditional Japanese bureaucratic style.

"If the public finds out that the Horikawa High School death case is related to ghosts and gods, the public opinion of the people will definitely explode. At that time, we responsible police officers will all be under a lot of pressure, and we may have to bow and apologize in front of the media. "

"At our level, we can't reach the level of bowing on TV. Even bowing is a higher level of the Nakamori Police Department or the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"What's more, as long as we don't tell, who will know the truth?"

Shaking his head, Yamamoto didn't think that the people were so eager for the truth.

In the old school building, after covering the bloodstains at the scene of the crime, he moved his sore neck, swept across the motionless statues around the art room, turned and left.

"..."

In the dark art room, with the departure of Yamamoto and others, the whole room fell into the original silence again.

And in the dark shadows, the fingers of the headless statues standing quietly in the room seemed to move imperceptibly.

……

Come out of the old school building.

The policeman who was in charge of guarding the door immediately tied the rope in his hand to the door, and at the same time hung a sign of "no entry" on it, warning the students and teachers in the school that if the investigation results do not come out, the entire old school building will remain indefinitely. Keep it that way.

Regarding this point, the person in charge of Horikawa High School did not express much.

After all, the old school building has not been put into use a few years ago, except for Mr. Tanaka who has been killed, other teachers will basically not enter it anymore.

Compared with the blockade of the old school building, the head of the school is obviously more concerned about when this case will be resolved.

After all, such frequent problems are not very good for the entire Horikawa High School.

"At present, there is no way to be sure. In short, we will notify the school as soon as the investigation results come out."

"I hope the Metropolitan Police Department can complete the investigation as soon as possible."

After talking to the person in charge, Yamamoto and others walked out of the school gate and got into the car to go back.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Police!"

However, at this moment, the figure who had been hiding in the corner rushed out.

"I'm Gao Shan, a reporter from Kyodo News, and I want to ask you a few questions!"

Holding a press card, the man who claimed to be a reporter from "Kyodo News" looked at Yamamoto who came out of the school, with an expression of waiting for a long time, and couldn't wait to ask.

"..."

Looking at the reporter Takayama who suddenly appeared in front of him, Yamamoto's first reaction was to be dazed.

As an ordinary policeman of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, he doesn't have much experience in contacting reporters.

"As far as I know, there are still many accidental deaths in Horikawa High School so far, from the first student death to the recent teacher death, Mr. Police, can you tell me the truth behind all this?"

When the reporter appeared for the first time, although Yamamoto was a little at a loss.

But he is an experienced policeman after all, so after reacting, he immediately shook his head and gave a standard answer: "Sorry, no comment."

Faced with Yamamoto's attitude, reporter Takayama was not discouraged in any way, but continued to ask: "However, as far as I know, there is a strange connection behind every death case in Horikawa High School, and the way of death is also very different. Simple, the most important thing is that a few days ago, during a class reunion at Horikawa High School, a body that had been 20 years ago was accidentally found in a time capsule. Does this explain what happened at Horikawa High School? Death cases are not simple..."

The case of Watanabe Keiko is the source of everything.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult to hide among all the cases, because there were a lot of people who participated in the class reunion at that time. Even though the Metropolitan Police Department tried to control it later, it still couldn't stop all the news from leaking out.

And the reporter of "Kyodo News" in front of him obviously didn't know where he knew about Keiko Watanabe, so he came to investigate.
