"What are you still standing there for? Call Ayatsuji! Tell her to hurry over to the annex!"

”

"Ah, okay, okay! Hibiki, use the intercom to tell Ayatsuji to hurry up!"

"No, no, she's probably on the other side of the mountain. There's no signal on the walkie-talkie."

Fujiwara Yu approached the surveillance screen and felt a little strange when he saw Rie Kano sitting on the ground with her back to the camera. Logically, even if he was scared, he would run away when he saw such a scene.

Or did she believe it was all a prank and therefore never acted? Could it be that the murderer was taking advantage of Rie Kano's knowledge that it was a prank show to carry out his own crime plan?

"Even if we could get in touch, it would be useless. The murderer has a weapon. Besides, even if we were driving as fast as we could, in this blizzard, it would take at least ten minutes to get there."

As soon as Fujiwara Yuu finished speaking, Rie Kano's voice was heard again on the surveillance camera. Just from her voice, one could tell that she was really scared, so scared that her voice was trembling.

But he couldn't tell whether it was acting or... real emotion.

When they saw Yuki Yasha swinging her axe and chopping directly at Kana Rie, everyone present except Fujiwara Yu and Yamato Kansuke closed their eyes. Hayami Reika was so scared that she curled up her body and even covered her ears, not daring to hear the sound.

In the surveillance footage, Rie Kano fell with her back to the crowd, and the splattering blood announced her death.

This was simply a live broadcast of a murder, and the crime was committed in front of two police officers.

Fujiwara Yuu raised the corner of his mouth, with an unclear meaning in his eyes:

"...You're really brave."

But don't let me catch you.
