Shizuku boarded the plane to the United States with the intention of traveling.
In her opinion, this is just another activity that needs to be done by yourself. Moreover, although there are many ghost movies in the United States, the power level is far inferior to that of Japan. Whether it is Jason, Freddy or any other ghost, it can be easily dealt with by Shizuku without any effort.
So when Shizuku got on the plane, she was in a good mood.
It wasn't until a brightly dressed brown-haired woman sat down next to Shizuku that her entire mood suddenly fell into an icy cave.
"Hello, Miss Kasugano. I am Ryoko Yakushiji, a counselor of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
“…”
Looking at the hand that Yakushiji Ryoko extended to her, Shizuku curled her lips and then shook her hand.
"Hello, Yakushiji Councillor, I'm Kasugano Shizuku... I've heard of your name for a long time, and it's such a coincidence..."
"Yes, actually, I am personally somewhat interested in the case that Ms. Kasugano is planning to investigate."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shizuku raised her eyebrows, then she glanced at the man sitting behind Yakushiji Ryoko, who was dressed in an extremely ordinary manner.
"I thought the Yakushiji Counselor was going on a date with her boyfriend."
"That's my subordinate."
In response to Shizuku's teasing, Yakushiji Ryoko's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"As a boss, you should take your subordinates with you wherever you go, and share life and death with them. This is a qualified leadership style."
"In that case, isn't it better to go to France than to the United States?"
It is obvious that Shizuku will not be suppressed by Yakushiji Ryoko like this.
"Going to Paris for a romantic honeymoon, maybe even taking a maternity leave, is better than going to the United States, a dangerous place with shootings everywhere and more deaths from shootings than car accidents each year."
"That doesn't matter. I can go anytime I want. But now, I'm more curious about your itinerary."
Having said that, Yakushiji Ryoko narrowed her eyes and stared at Shizuku.
"Besides, I came here only after receiving an order from the Metropolitan Police Department. As long as the order is given, I will jump into the water no matter how difficult it is. This is the professional spirit of the Japanese."
……Depend on!
After hearing Yakushiji Ryoko's answer, Shizuku was smiling, but she was still thinking. She went to the United States this time, not without consideration, in order to find a reasonable excuse for herself. Shizuku finally decided to study the "Crystal Lake Murder Case" as the theme and cooperate with the American police in the investigation. In this way, at least she had a legitimate reason and would not be kicked out by the other party.
Of course, in order to achieve this goal, Shizuku also went through the procedures of the Metropolitan Police Department. It can be said that her trip to the United States this time was a semi-business trip, but it was at her own expense.
But Shizuku forgot that she was not the only one who had the ability to make the Metropolitan Police Department go around in circles.
Yakushiji Ryoko is the mastermind who holds the power of life and death in the Metropolitan Police Department.
Previously, Inspector Inudo of the Police History Compilation Office had reminded Shizuku that she had been involved in Yakushiji Ryoko's cases twice in a row, and the other party had been keeping an eye on her. At that time, Shizuku was also cautious for a long time, but after all, the two parties had not met, so Shizuku forgot about it.
She didn't expect that this woman was so petty. If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have gone through the process through the Metropolitan Police Department... Otherwise, Yakushiji Ryoko would probably not have seized the opportunity to get involved.
After a brief conversation with Yakushiji Ryoko, Shizuku stopped chatting with her. Although she didn't know why Yakushiji Ryoko followed her, she just had to do her own thing. As for whether this person wanted to take revenge or something... that was her own business, and it had nothing to do with Shizuku, right?
Although Shizuku thought so, the reality was just as bad as she expected. After the plane arrived in New York, Yakushiji Ryoko followed Shizuku like a tail, with her man following her to the ends of the earth. Whether Shizuku was talking to the FBI officer or looking up information, she was persistent...
"Hey, Mr. Yakushiji, since you have so much free time, why don't you go to Times Square or Fifth Avenue with your boyfriend?"
Shizuku naturally had a way to deal with Yakushiji Ryoko, which was to grab Inspector Izumi next to her and open fire. Anyway, she knew that the two were definitely a couple, and it was probably just one of them who didn't realize it. But it didn't matter. To deal with someone like Yakushiji Ryoko, you have to take advantage of her weakness.
"You can go to that kind of place anytime. Besides, the scenery in the United States is extremely boring. There is no history or culture. Everywhere you look, there is a third-rate temperament of nouveau riche."
Yakushiji Ryoko spoke without a care in the hotel lobby. Fortunately, no one around could understand Japanese. But looking at the embarrassed expression of Inspector Izumi Da behind her, it was clear that what she said was obviously not a nice thing.
However, Shizuku also deeply agreed with this.
"That's right. What Americans can't change is the ruthlessness of desperadoes. They call it the cowboy spirit, but to put it bluntly, it's just the essence of criminals on the run."
Shizuku also shrugged her shoulders and looked away.
"Well, I'll take my leave now...By the way, girls should show their honest side occasionally. If you just rely on tsundere to cover it up, be careful that the duck in your mouth will fly away. After all..."
At this point, Shizuku smiled innocently.
"The Yakushiji Counselor is not young anymore. If we delay any further, I'm afraid he will miss the right time to get married."
After saying this, Shizuku nodded at Yakushiji Ryoko, who was standing stiffly in place, then turned and left.
Although Yakushiji Ryoko is considered a very popular heroine, it is a pity that she is already 27 years old... Well, in the eyes of some people, she is no different from an old lady.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yakushiji Ryoko was knocked down by her, Shizuku quickly left the hotel, took a car to the airport, and then took off in a helicopter and flew to Crystal Lake decisively... She was not interested in entangled with the other party for too long. Although Yakushiji Ryoko was not a bad teammate, Shizuku was unwilling to be involved with her.
Her attitude towards Yakushiji Ryoko is the same as her attitude towards Lina Inbass. It would be fun to watch the fun from afar with such people, but it would not be fun at all if you were dragged into it yourself.
After arriving at the Crystal Lake community, Shizuku immediately went to the local police station to investigate and inquire, and in fact, it was not much different from what she remembered from the movie. According to the records of the local police, a massacre occurred at the campground of Crystal Lake, in which eight people died and one survived. According to the description of the survivor, a tall man wearing a baseball mask was the murderer of this case, but the police searched for a long time and could not find any trace of the murderer.
Plus, nothing happened around Crystal Lake after that, so the police just filed it away as some kind of serial homicide case.
Shizuku was not surprised by this. In the early 1990s, criminal investigation technology was not very advanced, especially in a vast and sparsely populated area like the United States. In fact, in addition to Crystal Lake, similar serial murders often occur in the United States. For example, the most famous "Zodiac" killer is a typical example. He not only killed many people, but also sent letters to the media.
However, after years of searching by the US police and the FBI, they still came back empty-handed. Geography is a big limitation. To put it bluntly, in the US, a serial killer can drive around in an RV and kill wherever he goes. Afterwards, he can hide in a remote or abandoned factory valley town, and the police will be completely at a loss.
So in the eyes of the American police, the Crystal Lake murder case is actually similar to these similar serial murder cases. Of course, the local police scoffed at those superstitious legends - that's strange, they would rather the place be abandoned directly. After all, as long as no one goes there, no one will die.
And the dead will also increase their workload.
Unfortunately, it is private land, and there are always people who are not afraid of death and do not believe in evil and want to regroup here. Shizuku also learned from the local police that the ownership of the Crystal Lake campground has been transferred to someone else, and the other party is currently building a new camping training base...
Well, if you don't seek death, you won't die. This truth is universally true.
It’s a pity that some people don’t know.
After investigating the surrounding situation, Shizuku drove to Crystal Lake and began a pilgrimage to the holy land.
but……
"Hmm... It feels like a very ordinary lake, nothing special."
Standing on the shore of Crystal Lake, looking at the campsite across the way, Shizuku couldn't help but frown and whisper to herself. She had just sensed the entire Crystal Lake, but to her surprise, she didn't sense anything here. No demonic energy, no magic power, and no spiritual power.
However, according to the movie, the Crystal Lake itself seems to possess some kind of powerful power, which is why it was transformed into a murderous demon after Jason's death.
However, when Shizuku explored, she found that everything seemed normal here, no different from an ordinary lake.
What on earth was going on? Did I take the wrong path?
But this is clearly Crystal Lake, right?
Anyway, let's go to the campground and check out the situation...
“Boom boom boom…”
Just as Shizuku was thinking, suddenly, a huge propeller roared, Shizuku looked up and saw a helicopter approaching in the sky not far away. Seeing this scene, Shizuku couldn't help but sigh.
Without even looking, she knew who had come here.
She really refuses to admit defeat.
