Inspector Kudo was just putting out his cigarette as he passed through the numerous obstacles set up by the Japanese police and arrived at the crime scene. He took a deep breath as he looked at the scene where only half a body was left in the elevator.
He had just rushed over from Chiyoda District, and when he learned that a suspected supernatural event had occurred, his fingers couldn't help but tremble, and he felt extremely regretful.
It's not that Inspector Kudo Shizheng has never experienced extraordinary events. On the contrary, he is the first police officer in Japan to come into contact with extraordinary events.
The Yamata no Orochi and Hydra incidents a year ago left a deep impression on him, and he no longer wanted to be involved in any extraordinary events.
But unfortunately, a year later, the incident happened again. As the future leader of the police, Inspector Kudo was attracting much attention and had no choice but to take charge and solve the problem.
"What's the situation now?"
Inspector Kudo was asking the forensic doctor at the scene in a depressed tone. He didn't know the details of the case. He was talking on the phone with the old priest of Sengen Shrine the whole time and had no time to understand the situation.
"Senior, the deceased is Kitahara Sosuke, male, 34 years old, 167cm tall, of normal development, yellowish skin, with black cadaver stains. He was severed at the waist and hips, and the body showed signs of being torn..."
Biting and biting again, it's really difficult to deal with.
The extraordinary incident a year ago was also related to biting, which made Inspector Kudo couldn't help but have some wild thoughts, and the connection between the two cases began to become clear.
However, this alone couldn't be considered an extraordinary event, so Inspector Kudo said, "Where's the elevator surveillance? Turn on the footage."
"Kudo-senpai, please look."
At this point, a young Japanese police officer held a computer and played the elevator surveillance footage, whispering, "According to the surveillance footage at the main gate, at 9:34 last night, the deceased, Kitahara Sosuke, and his neighbor Watanabe Masao entered the elevator together. But...but from the surveillance footage, there's no sign of the elevator ever being activated from 9:34 onward!"
Just as the young policeman reported, nothing happened in the surveillance video. The elevator was empty and there was no one in sight.
Inspector Kudo was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "How was the body found?"
"Please look."
The young policeman began to fast-forward the surveillance video until 9:51 when it returned to normal, and he stopped talking.
In the surveillance footage, Kitahara Sosuke's body fell from the ceiling of the elevator out of thin air, torn into pieces, and blood flowed freely, dyeing the entire elevator red.
"Ugh~"
The several young female assistants who came with Kudo Shizheng were all nauseated, but the battle-hardened Kudo Shizheng remained calm and rationally asked, "What about the neighbor who entered the elevator with Kitahara Sosuke? Where did he go?"
"Senior, we have visited Watanabe Masao's home. His wife said that he did not return home last night and his phone was unreachable. We don't know where he went."
The young police officer whispered, "We suspect that Watanabe Masao may have some connection to this case. He may also have died, like Kitahara Sosuke, somewhere we haven't discovered yet."
"It's troublesome."
Inspector Kudo sighed deeply, rubbed his temples, and came to the elevator where the crime occurred. Looking at the dried blood scab inside, he suppressed his nausea and ordered his subordinates, "Dig this elevator out for me!"
A supernatural event has already occurred. Who would dare to go in and investigate at this time?
Therefore, Inspector Kudo thought that it would be best to move the entire elevator out first, as ensuring safety was the most important thing.
But before Inspector Kudo could continue to say anything, his work cell phone suddenly rang. He opened the phone in annoyance. Before he could speak, the voice on the other end of the phone said hurriedly: "Kudo, something big has happened!"
Inspector Kudo recognized the voice as coming from his immediate superior, and his expression immediately froze. He asked sternly, "Superintendent General, what happened?"
"A well-known young actor in Shibuya was found dead in his home, his body cut into hundreds of pieces!"
The Superintendent of Sakura said hurriedly, "After investigating the case and the scene, there is absolutely no sign of any intrusion by outsiders. That young actor...most likely committed suicide!"
Dismemberment into a hundred pieces turned out to be suicide?
Inspector Kudo simply didn't believe this news and found it ridiculous and absurd.
But this statement came from the Chief Superintendent, the highest-ranking official in the Japanese police force. It was the most official and authoritative response from the Japanese police, making the incident even more confusing.
At this moment, Superintendent Kudo seemed to have thought of something and immediately spoke up, "By the way, the priest of Sengen Shrine said that the goddess Hashimoto Moku has arrived in Sakura City. Superintendent General, have you seen her in person?"
"Her Highness Hashimoto Moku has arrived in Sakura City? That's wonderful!"
The Superintendent General was obviously unaware of this news. When he heard what Inspector Kudo Masaru said, he immediately felt relieved and quickly issued an order: "Alright, you don't have to be responsible for the case anymore. From now on, fully cooperate with His Highness Hashimoto Muku in handling the situation!"
After saying that, the Superintendent hung up the phone in a flash, leaving Inspector Kudo standing there in a daze.
Inspector Kudo Shizheng: ???
No, I don't even know where Princess Hashimoto Maoku is, so how can you pass the buck so easily?
Inspector Kudo said that it was very sudden and he was unable to react in time. He could only say that a high-ranking official can crush people.
