Chapter 1017 1025 [Kudo Shinichi's Shark Spirit] Added to the leader [Book Friends 2039]

Mao Lilan quickly rushed to the activity room of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society" and took a quick look. There was no one in the room.

She was about to run back to the classroom to reunite with Suzuki Sonoko and the strange Hattori Heiji, but before turning around, she suddenly saw something and was stunned.

——There was a pink object lying on the floor near the computer desk. It was a small square piece and looked very familiar.

They walked over, picked it up, and saw that it was a disk. The label read "Seven Wonders" - this was one of the materials that Sakuragi Ruriko had given them before.

Yesterday, after announcing the mission, Sakuragi Ruriko gave them two things. One was a thick bound volume of the conference journal. The other was this disk.

Logically, neither item could be taken out of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society" activity room. However, after "Miss Miyano" was killed, the bound volume of the society's journal and the disk disappeared.

"...It turns out the disk fell here." Mao Lilan walked over and picked it up.

I was hesitating whether to read the contents to see if there was any message left by the deceased.

But when she stood up, something on the wall swayed slightly with the wind created by her movement.

"……Um?"

Mao Lilan put down the disk and looked closer to the wall. She saw a hair. There was a poster on the wall promoting the "Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society". The hair stuck out from the corner of the poster. It looked like the person who put up the poster didn't pay attention and accidentally got the hair on it.

Mao Lilan, who likes neatness, reached out her hand and tried to pull out the hair.

I pinched it and applied force, and the edge of the entire poster suddenly moved.

Crash——

A corner of the poster fell off with the broken wall, revealing a dark hole in the wall. Mao Lilan looked over subconsciously and unexpectedly met the sight of a skeleton - there was a body buried in the wall.

Mao Lilan: “…”

Mao Lilan: “…………”

Mao Lilan: "Ahhhhhhh Q皿Q——!!"

“Crunch—”

The slight sound of the floor was covered by her terrified scream. Someone walked quietly behind her.

The masked man stared at the high school girl in front of him and ruthlessly raised the huge hammer in his hand.

…

On the other side, under the wall outside the school gate.

Jiang Xia and Kudo Shinichi talked to Officer Kenmochi for a while, trying to get some information out of him.

Officer Kenmochi looked at the two young men. Perhaps the combined detective skills of the two men were barely enough. The officer hesitated for a moment and took out a small notebook from his arms.

"The missing 'Initial Sensei' that we just mentioned, he disappeared thirty years ago, and there were indeed no other students who disappeared with him at that time.

“However, ten years ago, a female student suddenly disappeared and has not been found to this day.

"That student's name is Aoyama Chihiro, and she's also a member of your 'Mysterious Phenomenon Research Society'. When we visited the school, many people said that she had become a victim of the 'After School Magician'... There was literally no clue at all - your school is good in every way, except that it loves to make up stories. Everything can be turned into an incredible horror legend."

Officer Kenmochi was complaining to himself when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and his expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Xia looked at him, realized something, and looked up at the street.

The police car that had just gone away suddenly turned around and drove back.

The next second, Officer Kenmochi hung up the phone. He looked at the two detectives with an extremely serious expression: "Something happened at school again!"

…

The three of them quickly ran to the door of the printing room.

——Just now, Officer Kenmochi received a call saying that a murder was suspected to have occurred here.

Just like when the body was found in the "unopenable biology classroom" that morning, students still rushed over after hearing the noise and gathered at the door to watch the excitement. However, compared to that time, it was already school time, so there were not many people blocking the door of the printing room.

Jiang Xia had just arrived at the printing room, and before he could see the situation clearly, he suddenly felt a figure rushing towards him.

He was startled and raised his hands across his body.

Then he accurately caught Suzuki Sonoko, who was almost scared to death because of her hairband.

Suzuki Sonoko grabbed his arm and wiped her eyes while sobbing: "Xiaolan, Xiaolan she..."

"?!" Kudo Shinichi was startled, pushed through the crowd blocking the door, and rushed into the printing room.

The originally tidy room was now littered with messy papers, with bright red handprints on the papers, as if bloody hands had crawled over them. In the middle of the room, a large amount of papers were piled together, covering a bulge. A human figure could be vaguely seen from the bulge.

Jiang Xia walked past Kudo Shinichi who was standing at the door in a daze, and quickly ran to the bulge. He stared at the long strip and studied it for a while. He carefully opened one side and saw Mouri Ran's face.

There was not much blood on the girl's face, and her expression looked very peaceful. The ghosts were also apparently quite friendly to her, and they were very martial and first bounced her off the line before beating the model without any worries.

"..." Jiang Xia touched Mao Lilan's artery politely.

After a moment, he turned around, met the different looks from his two classmates, and shook his head gently: There's no hope.

Just after shaking, Jiang Xia paused.

——A few traces of murderous aura suddenly emanated from Kudo Shinichi.

"..." Jiang Xia stood up, walked to his neighbor, patted his shoulder hard, and said in a deep voice, "Win this game."

Kudo Shinichi was silent for a long time, then nodded vigorously.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at this passionate scene and was a little infected.

She wiped away her tears with her sleeves and stood up again: "We must catch that bastard 'magician'!"

…

Although the death of a companion is heartbreaking.

But this undoubtedly also inspired the detective's fighting spirit.

In just one day, all three of them were gone. In addition to Haibara Ai and Mao Li Ran, Hattori Heiji also seemed to be completely hopeless - he seemed to have given a wrong answer in the reasoning link, and unfortunately he was assimilated into a passerby in high school.

"The cause of death was a concussion caused by a skull fracture, with very little bleeding." Jiang Xia went to the police station and brought back some information. He thought, "It seems that the murder weapon was some kind of blunt instrument wrapped in cloth. Although the body was found in the printing room, it looks like a serial murder case of the 'Seven Mysteries'. However, judging from the murder weapon used and the traces at the scene, the printing room was not the first scene. She might have been transferred here from somewhere else."

Kudo Shinichi no longer has any murderous intent and has regained his rational state.

He nodded. "The murder weapon was deliberately used to reduce the amount of bleeding and facilitate the transfer of the body... The murderer is quite experienced."
