I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

"Ms. Shida, don't you know? Half a year ago, this incident was reported in the Asahi Shimbun. Many people came to Kosuge Town to commemorate Mrs. Sakurada."

Oshima Masao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was normal for the elite of the Asumimi Group not to pay attention to these folk affairs.

He sat on the bicycle seat, one foot on the pedal, the other foot supported, raised his police hat, looked at the Sakurada family, and said with some regret.

"Mrs. Sakurada is a respected elder in Kosuge Town and the former president of the town association. She is kind and polite, gentler than my grandmother, and very respected by us."

"It's a pity that three bad boys broke into her house half a year ago. Those three bastards, not only robbed her money, but also killed her!"

"Damn it!"

He hammered the handle of the bicycle with some regret. "When I arrived, the old lady was already dying. Many of her cats seemed to have died to protect her."

Hitano Yu heard this and interrupted, "How are the three bad guys now? Have they been caught?"

"The three bastards were arrested within two days, but because the people who ordered them were far away in Southeast Asia, they could not be arrested. In addition, two of the criminals were under the age of sixteen and one was under the age of eighteen."

"Therefore, although they were arrested half a year ago, they will not be sentenced until the beginning of next month. They are currently detained in Kosuge Detention Center, which is in that direction, about three kilometers away from here."

Oshima Masao pointed to the southwest.

"Was it someone from Southeast Asia who ordered this?"

When mentioning Southeast Asia, Higashino Yu immediately thought of those places where people of the human race gather. It's not surprising that they can do such things.

Oshima Masao sighed.

"The country is now aging rapidly, and young people work hard but don't make much money. However, many elderly people have experienced their golden years and have quite a lot of wealth. Most of them have the habit of storing cash at home, so they are targeted by those people."

"They obtain the information of these widowed and widowed elderly people from banks through illegal means, and then instruct those bad people in the country who are not doing their jobs to break into homes and rob. The funny thing is that they have to hand over the money immediately after the robbery. Guess how much they can get from this robbery?"

"Less than 50,000 yen per person. For a few tens of thousands of yen, they are really a group of hateful and pathetic bugs who are responsible for the serious crime of burglary or even murder."

Oshima Masao said with gritted teeth, and then looked at Sugida Natsuko who was staring at the Sakurada family in a daze: "Ms. Sugida, do you have any questions?"

Sugida Natsuko came back to her senses, "No, Inspector Oshima."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

He nodded, rang the bell, and rode away on his bicycle.

Dong Yeyu looked in the direction of the detention center, thinking, and probably guessed why Xiaoying committed crimes in this circle. It was probably unwilling to accept it.

Those three underage bastards obviously could not be sentenced to death.

In fact, let alone the island country, even in Shenzhou, these three bad guys would probably not be sentenced to death.

Modern society is very cautious about the death penalty. As long as it is not a serial killer or a major crime that endangers social security, the death penalty will basically not be imposed.

It is even possible that they will be given a lenient sentence because they are minors, and they will come out to harm people again after being locked up for a few years.

After Oshima Masao left, Shida Natsuko was silent for a few seconds, walked quickly to the Sakurada family, pushed open the gate and went in.

She still didn't believe that the old man who claimed to be Sakurada Wakako just now was a legendary soul that no one had ever seen, and she had to see the evidence with her own eyes.

Otherwise, what if the person she just met was just a thief or someone else?

This matter is so serious that it must be verified immediately and reported to Asumimi Goro. This is the first supernatural incident that Asumimi Sanae has encountered in all these years, and it concerns her personal safety.

Crash!

"Excuse me."

Natsuko Sugida pushed open the shoji door of the living room next to the edge again, said softly, took off her flat-soled ladies' leather shoes, and revealed her feet wearing 20D black stockings.

As soon as she stepped on the wooden floor, she frowned immediately.

Here, when did there become so much dust?

She raised her feet and took a look. The translucent stockings that were shiny and delicate and showed her fair skin were covered with thick dust. She clearly remembered that the floor here was very clean and waxed just now.

Natsuko Sugida's intuition began to warn her. She took a deep breath and walked into the living room resolutely.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. The body that had just been exposed to the sun was suddenly covered with a cold shadow, which made her shiver. In just a few steps, it seemed like she had come to another world, quiet, dead, and dim.

Except for her footsteps and breathing, nothing could be heard.

Natsuko Sugida glanced at the table where she had just sat, and there were several empty teacups on it.

She picked up her own cup and took a look, and was shocked to find that it was full of dust and spider webs.

Natsuko Sugida had been afraid of these gods and ghosts since she was a child, so she stayed away from horror movies. When she grew up, she was not afraid of the dark, so she gradually sneered at her childhood fears.

But at this moment, the horror of childhood came again in an unexpected way. This strange and familiar fear made Natsuko Sugida's legs tremble and she was a little unsteady.

But when she thought about the safety of Asumi Sanae, she mustered up the courage to step into the corridor.

In some of the light coming in from the window lattice, you can see golden dust flying, which makes people have the urge to run into the wall and run into the light to escape from the darkness.

She took out her mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, stepping on the creaking stairs, and the dull sound made it seem like stepping on her heart.

After arriving on the second floor,

"Mrs. Sakurada? Are you there?" Natsuko Sugita asked in a low voice, but no one answered, so she raised her voice a little higher, exposing her trembling voice.

"Mrs. Sakurada, I am Natsuko Sugida."

Natsuko Sugita mustered up the courage to search for a while and came to a room and found a small shrine with a black and white photo on it.

She first put her hands together and bowed, then shined the light of her phone on the photo, and found that the old lady she had met ten minutes ago was now in the photo.

"ah?"

Natsuko Sugada looked at the photo blankly, her delicate face pale, she stood up unsteadily and staggered back a few steps.

As a result, she felt as if something grabbed her foot. Without paying attention, her body lost her balance and fell to the dusty floor with a thud.

"ah!"

The remaining tight sanity was completely broken. She screamed and ran downstairs, crawling on the ground.

Glancing at Natsuko Sugada who entered Sakurada's house alone, Higashino Yu shook his head.

Just now I thought she was a supporting character who could survive half an episode, but now it seems she was too overestimated.

Half an episode?

Five minutes!

And according to the normal plot, you will hear her crying for her father and mother in about ten minutes.

However, Mrs. Sakurada became so kind and kind as a spirit, so she shouldn't harm anyone.

Therefore, Higashino Yu is not worried about Sugada Natsuko's safety - it would be better to die.

Then he began to give his mature and prudent advice to Sanae tomorrow.

"This is the situation. This matter is beyond our control, Your Highness. Nekomata is too dangerous. How about finding other monsters? I know there are some-"

"Danger? I came here from the other side of the curtain to eradicate evil. As the owner of the mirror moon and the guardian of the night, how can I be afraid of a mere Nekomata?"

Tomorrow I saw Sanae categorically rejecting the timid fox's slander.

She had finally found a living monster that existed not just in rumors, so she was not willing to give up easily.

"Since Sakura will come back," she thought for a moment, "I decided to come here these nights to wait for her."

"My knight, will you follow me?"
