Transparent or not?

This question flashed through Shizuku's mind for a second, and then she came up with the answer.

It must be transparent!

Why not transparent?

It’s so fun to cause trouble!

I remember that in the original work, Hiei didn't recognize Setsuna because the person who transplanted the evil eye to him gave the condition that Hiei could not recognize his sister, and Hiei himself didn't seem to have any reason to recognize Setsuna.

But what does this have to do with me?

People just said that Feiying cannot recognize his sister, not that the sister cannot recognize Feiying.

Even if I am enlightened, what can you do to me?

In the original novel, the people who knew about this were all Feiying's companions, so since he threatened others not to tell anyone, no one would tell anyone. But it's different now. I don't care about your shit. I don't know you, a gloomy little dwarf. To me, the request of a cute beautiful girl is definitely more important.

If you don't agree, come and hit me. I'll pin you to the ground and rub you a hundred thousand times.

Of course, even spoilers depend on timing, and there is no point in telling Setsuna now. And Shizuku is not sure where the plot of Yu Yu Hakusho is at right now, so she doesn't bother to care. But since she has been targeted by the spirit world, she will meet Hiei sooner or later, and when that time comes, she will just break the window paper and see where Hiei will run.

So Shizuku finally agreed to let Setsuna stay, and she also gave her a bracelet to cover up her own scent. In this way, even if Hiei had great ability, he would not be able to find Setsuna. When the two met, Shizuku took off the bracelet - hehehe, what kind of expression would Hiei have at that time, she really wanted to see it.

As for whether Feiying would get angry with him...if he is not afraid of death, why not give it a try?

Just like that, there is now a new member in Shizuku's office - the people currently living here include a human, a kirin dragon, a vampire, and a snow woman.

Well, this feels less and less like a place for humans.

Although for Shizuku, as long as the girl is pretty and cute, her race doesn’t matter.

In the following days, the office had a peaceful period. However, soon, another investigation was commissioned, and this time the commissioning agency was... the Metropolitan Police Department.

“Haha…”

Walking into the Metropolitan Police Department, Shizuku yawned. She noticed the eyes of the police around her. It was no wonder that a young girl wearing a uniform came to the Metropolitan Police Department. It was quite unusual. Now Shizuku has begun to consider whether to establish an official relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department like the original Conan did in the Conan world... It's better than being treated as a victim's family member or a criminal suspect every time she enters the door.

Thinking of this, Shizuku walked into the elevator, reached out her hand, pressed the button for the fourth floor underground, and then pressed it five times. Then the elevator started and moved downwards. Soon, the elevator reached the fourth floor underground, but did not stop there. Instead, it continued to move downwards. At the same time, the number of floors on the elevator disappeared, and then the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound.

Shizuku walked out of the elevator door and walked forward along the corridor. Soon, at the end of the corridor, a place with a sign that read "Police History Compilation Room" appeared in front of Shizuku. It looked like a data management library.

This is Shizuku's destination, and also the most mysterious unit of the Metropolitan Police Department - the "Police History Compilation Office". As mentioned before, this department specializes in investigating various difficult cases and similar urban legends and rumors. Their establishment is based on a theory called "FOAF".

"Friend of a friend."

Strange and fascinating, half-true urban legends are passed on by word of mouth between friends of friends - known as "friends of friends."

We often see this kind of rumors in real life, such as those on Tianya Ghost Stories or Zhihu’s supernatural section.

"A friend of mine heard that..."

"My dad's friend once experienced something like this..."

"My friend was running long distance before..."

"My friend's wife said it happened in their hospital..."

Such urban legends are everywhere, of course, many of which are not very convincing when you think about them, and some are quite contradictory. For example, the woman in the red raincoat, according to urban legend, will appear on rainy nights and ask if you want to wear a red raincoat. If you say yes, she will kill you and dye the clothes red with your blood.

If you don't agree, she will keep following you until you agree.

It sounds like a very scary story, but if you think about it carefully, you will find a loophole in it. That is, since the person is already dead, how do people know that it was Red Raincoat who killed him? Could it be that Red Raincoat was so kind that she allowed him to leave a suicide note before he died?

The biggest problem with this kind of story is that the whole story is told from the perspective of a third party, which feels like someone telling others a story based on a horror movie they have watched. After all, in reality, it is generally impossible for a third party to be present in this situation.

But there may be real crimes hidden in these rumors.

This is the place dedicated to investigating urban legends and absurd rumors.

Shizuku walked to the iron gate and knocked, and soon a lazy voice came from inside.

"Come in."

"Excuse me."

As she spoke, Shizuku opened the door and walked into the room.

At first glance, this place is indeed in line with the "Police History Compilation Room". In the endless hall underground, there are rows of neatly arranged bookshelves with many records and books on them. Of course, if you don't look carefully, you might think that the bookshelves are all police history records, but Shizuku, who has visited here before, knows that the tens of thousands of books here are all records of various "FOAF" events.

The true records of urban legends such as the "woman in the red raincoat" and the "slit-mouthed woman" can be found here.

It can be said that for those paranormal enthusiasts, there is no better "library" than this one.

It's the officially certified one.

"Hey, you're here, Shizuku-chan."

Seeing Shizuku coming in, a woman who was half lying on the sofa and looked quite lazy, speaking with an Osaka accent, waved at her boredly. She was holding a tabloid in one hand and staring at the TV screen in front of her - it was broadcasting a live horse racing.

"I thought it was illegal for police officers to bet on horses."

Shizuku sat on the sofa and glanced at the live horse racing broadcast on the screen, while the latter laughed.

“A little gambling can cheer you up. Betting on horses isn’t a big deal… Ahhhhh come on, come on, come on! Hurry up--!!”

As the horse race on TV crossed the finish line, the woman in front of me suddenly collapsed on the sofa. The whole room was dead silent, with only the commentary on TV echoing.

"The Emperor of the East Sea! The Emperor of the East Sea! He won the G1 title in his first fight! His future is bright!"

"Nine times out of ten, you lose."

Shizuku silently took the remote control and turned off the TV, looking at the woman lying next to her like a dead fish.

"So, Inspector Inudo, you didn't ask me to come here just to watch you lose money, did you?"

“…”

Hearing this, the police inspector named Inudo Ranko turned over and sat up, then took out a bag of information from the side.

"Of course not... Never mind. I asked you to come this time because I need your help with something."

Having said this, Inudo Ranko stared at Shizuku.

"Do you know Sunrise Mountain?"

"Sunrise Mountain?"

"Yes, it is a very famous place, but of course it is not a good one... Rishang Mountain used to be a suicide site, and people often went there to commit suicide. Later, a disaster happened on the mountain. We don't know what it was, but anyway, after that, no one lived in Rishang Mountain anymore."

"Then what?"

"Not long ago, the local government tried to develop this place by using Rishang Mountain to develop tourism projects."

"...Using a suicide sanctuary to create a tourist attraction? The kind that you can't return from?"

After hearing this, Shizuku was speechless. What’s wrong with the Japanese brains?

"Who knows? Maybe they had too much money to spend. Anyway, they went up the mountain and started the reconstruction work. Various accidents happened along the way. There was even a landslide in the end, which buried the hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain and killed many people. According to records, the owner of the hot spring hotel also hanged himself after that."

“…”

"Not only that, the local government tried to dig a tunnel afterwards, but the tunnel collapsed three times in a row, resulting in many casualties. In the end, even the rescue team members who went to rescue people disappeared. So the local government had no choice but to block off Mt. Hikami and the surrounding area. Then they compiled the incident report and handed it over to the Metropolitan Police Department, and then we took over the handling."

"No wonder, after all, so many people died..."

Shizuku also took the file bag and opened it, looking through the information inside. If it was just one accident with many casualties, it would be understandable, but this day on the mountain, there was no peace from beginning to end, and people died almost every now and then... And the local government didn't care?

Of course, it was impossible for so many accidental deaths and disappearances to disappear without a trace, so the case files were handed over to the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department passed the problem to the Police History Compilation Office...

This is a tourist attraction. How do I introduce it?

"Dear tourists, please be careful where you step. You are standing right now at the place where the innkeeper committed suicide..."

Is there really anyone who would take this kind of trip?

You must be sick in your brain.

"So you want me to conduct a detailed investigation, right?"

"Yes."

Inspector Inudo nodded.

"Please, Miss, this kind of thorny trouble can only be handled by you. After all, we don't have any special mysterious powers. If we rush into such a thing rashly, I'm afraid we won't have enough lives."

"Understood."

Hearing this, Shizuku also put away the document bag and stood up.

"I'll take care of it."
