31 Midnight Terror
◎Hiss, it’s still a gang crime!◎
The upstairs was a place that Chiheko Hanano had never set foot on, of course, that was also because she was too lazy to move before.
It was the middle of the night and Chihoko Hanano was climbing the stairs alone. The cold wind seeped in through the gaps in the window that was not closed tightly, making a buzzing sound that was inexplicably creepy.
Could it be that... there really was a murder and dismemberment case on campus...?
As a senior novel lover, Chihoko Hanano has a very rich imagination and likes thrilling plots. Now it is a dark and windy night, and she is all alone. It can be said that she is sleepy and has found a pillow. The atmosphere is full!
Although Hanano Chiheko looks useless at ordinary times, when the critical moment comes, she will still run unwaveringly on the narrow path to death!
Chihoko Hanano swallowed and walked forward nervously.
The orange cub in Hanano Chiheko's arms, who had just been pulled out of the warm cat bed, seemed to feel Hanano Chiheko's heart trembling, and licked Hanano Chiheko's hand sleepily.
"Huh..." Hanano Chiheko stroked the kitten's head in her arms, her heart and soul feeling profoundly healed. "I'm so glad I have you, my dear little orange cub."
When Hanano Chiheko walked to the corresponding house number, she was slightly stunned.
Archives...
This place feels so familiar. After a moment's thought, Hanano Chiheko suddenly felt her head buzzing along with the sound of the wind.
Isn't this... the perfect place to destroy a fake identity in a classic suspense novel? ! !
Chihoko Hanano leaned over the door and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a very faint human voice inside.
Since communication is needed...it means there are at least two people inside!
Chihiro Hanano subconsciously stepped back in a hurry, but the orange cub in her arms seemed to be anxious because of Chihiro Hanano's sudden change of mood, and suddenly cried out.
"Meow!"
A loud cat's cry instantly resounded throughout the corridor. Unless the people inside were deaf, they would definitely have heard it!
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Chihoko Hanano's back. In the situation where the enemy outnumbered her, the desire to survive made her turn around and run.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of "bang bang bang" running footsteps came from the end of the corridor. Just by listening to the sound, I knew that the person coming must be a big and strong man.
And there are accomplices!
Chihoko Hanano was caught in a dilemma while holding the cat. The only exit to escape downstairs was the one at the end of the corridor. Chihoko Hanano was now trapped in a jar.
In a flash, a crack appeared in the door of the archive room beside Chihoko Hanano.
Chihoko Hanano's pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately looked towards the crack in the door vigilantly, but instantly met a pair of eyes staring at her in the darkness.
Chiriko Hanano:! ! !
The person in the corridor ran to the door of the archive room, looking around with dark eyes, "Eh? I just heard a cat meowing."
"Mimi...Mimi, come out quickly, uncle has some dried fish here~"
The burly janitor searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace of the kitten, so he had to leave in disappointment. Before leaving, he accidentally glanced at the tightly closed archive room.
The crisis was resolved and everyone in the archives room breathed a sigh of relief.
The silver moon was like a hook, so that the room was not too dark to see people clearly.
The orange cub in Hanano Chiheko's arms jumped down when she was struggling, approached the golden retriever leading the room, and rubbed his trouser legs gracefully.
Fūya Rei bent down and skillfully touched the cat's head, then he took the opened file in his hand, which he had not yet put back to its original place, and slid it quietly under the gap in the desk.
Zhu Fushigure Jingguang and Juzi strangely share the same fate - they are dragged into the middle of the night by Amuro Toru, who can't sleep after returning home, to do some shameful things.
Zhu Fujingguang rubbed his arm that had just withstood a flying kick from Hanano Chiheko, and looked helplessly at Hanano Chiheko, whom he had not seen for only one night.
"Kurosawa-chan's boxing skills have really improved a lot."
"Jingguang, Ling?"
Hanano Chiheko was surprised for a moment, then realized, "Why are you guys here?"
Zhu Furuya Jingguang glanced at Furuya Rei, coughed lightly, and with a faint smile on his face, he patiently explained, "Recently, the Kawafuji Group has suffered a large theft. Furuya Rei and I have some clues about the culprit, but we lack evidence. So, Furuya Rei and I came here together to search through the past files of several suspects for some conclusive evidence."
Hanano Chiheko had an inexplicable feeling that something was amiss. She looked at Furuya Rei with a half-doubt, "You... are looking for evidence in the middle of the night?"
"I have to say, Kenji's hot cocoa is quite effective." Furuya Rei smiled slightly and showed Hanano Chiheko the file of one of the suspects in question. "Here, it's freshly made. Curious?"
Chihoko Hanano took it and took a look. Although she was not close friends with the suspect, he was indeed a member of the Kawafuji team.
Even so...
"Then how did you get in? Could it be..." Hanano Chiheko paused, "You are the police, is this really okay?"
"Is correct procedure really that important?" Furuya Rei said calmly, his eyes filled with a stubborn determination to eliminate evil and promote good. "Willn't everything be alright as long as the criminals are caught in the end?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fushigi Jingguang, who was behind Furuya Rei, raised his eyes and looked at Furuya Rei with a hint of disapproval.
Hanano Chihoko herself was already in a gray area. She wasn't so obsessed with whether correct procedures or correct results were more important in law enforcement. She shrugged immediately and said, "So... are you done?"
"There are two more people." Furuya Rei said matter-of-factly.
"Okay then." Hanano Chiheko walked to the window and turned to face Furuya Rei and the others. "Then you guys go ahead and do your thing. If you don't mind me watching from the side, do you?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was surprised for a moment. "Logically speaking, when encountering something like this, shouldn't most people leave the scene immediately to avoid being exposed and implicated?"
Hanano Chiheko nodded thoughtfully, then burst out laughing. "It's exciting, isn't it? I think it's more fun to stay here and be your 'accomplice' than going back home and counting sheep while lying awake."
After Hanano Chihoko finished her admiration with bright eyes, she turned around and met Furuya Rei's eyes, which were slightly worried.
Chihoko Hanano sensed something, smiled slightly, and looked directly into Rei Furuya's eyes.
Chihoko Hanano couldn't stand the kind of look that looked down on people and worried about their downfall. When she spoke again, her words were unconsciously thorny.
"Why, Mr. 'Justice' Police Officer, do you have anything to say?"
Fūya Rei laughed at himself, "How could it be..." Then he and Zhufu Jingguang continued to squat down and look through the files.
Dark clouds that blocked the moonlight gradually gathered. Chihoko Hanano looked at Furuya Rei who was carefully searching through the archives, and was slightly distracted.
If one day, this police officer who hates evil knows my true identity, I wonder what expression he will have when he looks at me again?
Chihoko Hanano lowered her eyebrows, and her long eyelashes cast a deep shadow in her eyes.
I guess... I'll be very disappointed. Using Hanano Chihoko's sixth sense from years of reading romance novels, I can predict that there might even be...
Hanano Chiheko suddenly closed her eyes, clearing her mind of the subconscious desire to escape. She smiled her usual smile, walked up to the two busy people, rolled up her sleeves and said casually, "Is it that hard to find? Come on, let me give you a hand!"
After successfully finishing the task, Fūya Rei's expression relaxed slightly compared to before. "No, there's no need to bother Miss with her personal help."
Chihoko Hanano was restrained by Rei Furuya. Chihoko Hanano was dissatisfied and resisted, but her resistance was unsuccessful.
Zhu Fujingguang, who was still concentrating on finding evidence, looked at the two childish guys who had just graduated from kindergarten in front of him, sighed, and was about to lower his head to look for it again when he was almost hit by the fist of "Sword Without Eyes".
Zhu Fu Jingguang: ...
Under the attack of Morofushi Kagemitsu's creepy smile, Hanano Chihoko and Furuya Rei obediently stopped and looked for the files with great concentration.
The evidence collection work was completed, the three people successfully retreated and perfectly disguised the scene.
"I wonder what your instructor Onizuka would think if he knew that all the knowledge you learned was used to eliminate traces." Hanano Chihoko sighed while holding a cat.
Fūtani Rei was speechless for a moment. The resentful Morobushi Kagemitsu just wanted to take a nap. Even his expression didn't change much, let alone any reaction to Hanano Chihoko's words.
Hanano Chiheko recalled tonight's magical experience, which was similar to a horror movie, and was still excited: "If there are any exciting activities in the future, you must take me with you!"
As soon as Hanano Chiheko finished speaking, she inadvertently turned her head and happened to meet the look of the gatekeeper who was waiting for the rabbit to come to her. He happened to see the rabbit bump into the tree on its own. She suddenly stopped and gasped.
The gatekeeper looked at Hanano Chiheko, then at Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu on either side of Hanano Chiheko, and raised his eyebrows. "Next time there's something exciting, take me with you!"
