The next morning, the third day of being stuck in the campground.
What disturbed the dream was not the cell phone alarm that was set in advance, but the sound that sounded like a quarrel.
Fujiwara Yu, who was already a light sleeper, quickly sat up from the sofa. After two days of resting with his eyes closed, he had dark circles under his eyes. When he stood up, he moved too fast and fell forward. If it weren't for the force from his arms, he might have fallen to the ground.
Miyano Akemi, who had already washed up early, saw this scene and hurried forward to help. She frowned and said in an unhappy tone:
"Mr. Yingsi, staying up all night is very harmful to your health. I'll just go and check on the situation outside. You can just sit on the sofa and rest for a while."
"no."
How could Fujiwara Yuu let Miyano Akemi go out alone? But he realized that his words were a bit too harsh. He licked his dry lips, and after a moment of silence, he withdrew his right hand that was being pulled. He lowered his head and spoke softly:
"I'm fine. It's common for detectives to keep watch all night. You stay in the room and I'll go see what's going on."
"Then I'll go to the hall and make you a cup of coffee. I think Mr. Kujo should have already prepared breakfast." Miyano Akemi couldn't resist Fujiwara Yu's persistence, so she had to use another way to make him feel better. At least drink some coffee to refresh himself, otherwise it would be troublesome if he fell in a place where no one was around.
"Yes, thank you."
As the two walked out of the wooden house, they saw Tono Eiji standing by the log dining table, clenching his fists with a look of anger on his face. He looked at Xiangshan Shengzi with dissatisfaction, who had a worried expression on his face, and shouted loudly:
"Why didn't you stop him? Madam, don't you know that this behavior is suicide?!"
"Please don't blame me for this, okay? I can't stop his stubborn temper. He insisted on leaving to find a way out. What can I do? I can't go crazy with him!
"The Holy Son of Xiangshan doesn't want to be responsible for a life for no reason. Besides, it's still unclear where Xiangshan Saburo is.
Tono Eiji was about to say something, but when he noticed Takashi Sosuke coming over from the corner of his eye, he quickly ran forward:
"Officer Yingsi, Mr. Xiangshan didn't follow your instructions last night and actually ran into the forest alone. I'm worried something might have happened. Should we split up and look for him now?"
Fujiwara Yuu never thought that someone would dare to leave alone and go to the forest at night. This behavior is really no different from suicide. You know, the forest late at night is a natural hunting ground, and the murderer hiding in the dark will never give up such a good opportunity.
I'm afraid that Sanlang Xiangshan is in great danger... But we should look for him no matter what, but we can't search separately.
Fujiwara Yu opened his mouth to ask everyone to gather, but when he looked down, he noticed that Tono Eiji's white sneakers and trouser legs were stained with mud. It was just time to get up, so why were his shoes and pants like this?
He calmly put one hand into his pocket and said in a natural tone:
"Tono, when you were jogging nearby for your morning exercise, didn't you see any suspicious figures?"
"Run, run?" Toono Eiji blinked twice in confusion. After realizing that Takashi Sosuke had misunderstood him, he hurriedly explained, "Officer Takashi, you misunderstood me. Mr. Kujo felt that it was not good to leave Mr. Kurata's body here, so he asked me to help bury him. It's in the woods over there!"

"Who told you to bury the body without permission?" Fujiwara Yu's tone became bad when he heard this. No wonder the body wrapped in the tablecloth on the dining table disappeared. He never expected that they had buried it.
"Ah...but this is what Mr. Kujo asked me to do. I...I'm sorry."
"Forget it, it's not your fault, wait a minute-"
"ah!"
Miyano Akemi, who had just opened the hall door, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise when she saw the mess inside. Fujiwara Yuu, worried about what might have happened, ran towards the hall without saying a word, saying anxiously:
"What's wrong? Are you not hurt?"
"No." Miyano Akemi pointed inside the house, frowning and saying, "The hall was hacked to pieces. Why didn't we hear such a loud noise last night?"
Tono Eiji and Koyama Seiko, who also ran over, covered their mouths in surprise at the scene in front of them and couldn't say a word. It was not difficult to see from their expressions that they were very scared and even more afraid that Jason would attack them.
Xiangshan Shengzi even felt a little regretful, wondering whether he should have left with Sanlang last night.
Fujiwara Yu had a sullen face and didn't reply, because he noticed that there were sound-absorbing sponges on the wall. This was probably something the murderer deliberately arranged before chopping the hall into this state with an axe. So there must be something in there that the murderer wanted to hide, otherwise he would have no reason to do this.
He put on gloves and walked inside, trying to find any useful clues in the damaged facilities. As he approached the kitchen, he smelled a faint scent of blood... Following the scent, he found a small stack of 10,000 yen bills stuck in the crack of the refrigerator door.
Before he could reach out his hand, Xiangshan Shengzi, who saw the banknotes, reached out first and pulled them out directly. However, she didn't expect that the end of the banknotes was connected to a fishing line. Her action successfully opened the refrigerator door, which was not closed tightly.
The body that had been forcibly stuffed into the refrigerator collapsed. Xiangshan Shengzi instinctively reached out to catch it. Seeing the bloodied body with its face chopped by an axe, she screamed—
She even threw away her favorite banknotes, staggered back and fell to the ground, not daring to open her eyes again.
“Aa ...
”
The half-curled body, already frozen and stiff, was that of Saburo Koyama, who had tried to escape from the campsite last night. It was obvious that he had unfortunately encountered the murderer in the forest, and was then brutally killed, brought back to the hall, and stuffed in the refrigerator.
The heart-wrenching screams successfully attracted everyone else to the living room. Hattori Heiji didn't even change out of his pajamas, but came here in slippers with a messy hair. When he saw Koyama Saburo's body, he was shocked and woke up from his sleepiness.
Kujo Shotaro rushed in from outside. After seeing the suit on the body, his eyes widened in surprise and he said:
"Is this Mr. Xiangshan?!"
"Oh my God, I've had enough, please save me, I don't want to die!
"Hexi Sayuri just wanted to come to the hall to find something to eat, but who would have thought that she would hear screams and witness the body falling out of the refrigerator. Now, her appetite was completely gone, and she even felt like vomiting.
Fujiwara Yu took off his camel-colored windbreaker and covered Koyama Saburo with it. His eyes fell on the open refrigerator, which was full of food and drinks, with no sign of shortage.
As expected, the murderer was someone among them, not the death row inmate Jason.
The only thing the murderer wanted to destroy... was this.
