Yumi Matsuda's whole body was cold, and every inch of her skin felt like static electricity. Goose bumps appeared in less than a second.
As heads rolled, their pale faces still showed intense fear. This was a security guard in the parking lot. Although he had no hat, Yumi Matsuda still recognized this uncle who occasionally helped her back the car into the parking lot.
However, at this moment, there were only two bloody holes left at the eyes of the head.
It took almost all of her strength to suppress the urge to scream. She looked in the direction where the head was rolling, but she didn't see any other bodies, and there was no murderer there.
Yumi's face was pale. She tried her best to suppress her rapid breathing and looked around. It seemed that the entire parking lot was empty except for her.
In fact, only a few seconds had passed from the time the head was discovered to this moment.
With gritted teeth, Yumi pressed the remote control to unlock it.
The "beep~" unlocking reminder made Yumi's heart skip a beat. The sound was very obvious in the parking lot at that moment.
He walked around to the driver's seat, opened the door, rushed into the driver's seat, closed the door and started the vehicle.
This action was done in one go, showing his best performance since he passed the driving test.
"Woo~~"
With a step on the accelerator, the Honda car backed out of the parking space like crazy.
"Bang~" it hit the car behind.
Without caring about the vibration and dizziness, or the damage to her own car or other people's cars, Yumei immediately shifted into forward gear and rushed forward.
A strange black shadow flashed in front of the car.
“Ah!!!” “Woo~~”
Like many terrified female drivers, Yumi Matsuda screamed but kept her foot on the accelerator.
There was a "bang" sound as if something was hit, but also as if the car was just shaking.
Ten seconds later, the rotten Honda car crashed through the automatic sensor railing and rushed out of the parking lot of the TV station building.
"Hello, hello... Ho hoo... Police, Metropolitan Police Department, someone has been killed here..."
After racing on the road for several minutes, Yumi Matsuda still couldn't speak clearly, and she couldn't even get rid of the goose bumps on her body.
The suffocating fear she had just felt was extremely strange. The moment she saw the shadow, it was as if an outburst of terror came from the depths of her soul.
More than half an hour later, although extremely reluctant, Yumi Matsuda returned to the underground parking lot of the building.
But she was no longer alone.
Not only was there a cordoned off area at the crime scene, but there were also many police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and some staff members from the TV station building watching from the outside.
Yumi's grandfather Masamoto Matsuda was also there to comfort her.
“Click”, “Click”, “Click”…
Under the illumination of a flash, the head was photographed from all angles.
A police officer in a windbreaker stood at the starting point of the bloodstain with a frown, looking from there to where the head was.
Where were the other bodies? Why was there only so little blood?
The man looked up at Matsuda Yumi, whose expression was still not looking good.
"Ms. Matsuda, when you came down just now, did you see the head rolling?"
Hearing the police officer ask her, Yumi recalled for a moment and then nodded her answer.
"Yes, I found Mr. Ikebe's..."
"According to your previous description, you didn't see any other parts of the body or the murderer, right?"
Yumi Matsuda hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. If you remember any important news, please let us know as soon as possible. Now you can go home and rest."
Masamoto Matsuda nodded to the police officer, then spoke to his granddaughter with concern.
"Yumi, are you injured after the car crash? Let's go to the hospital for a checkup. Your parents have canceled their vacation and rushed back from abroad."
When Yumi Matsuda turned around with her grandfather, she heard the word "bump" and suddenly thought of something.
"Wait a minute! Officer, I remembered something!"
Hearing the shouting, the police officer in the windbreaker and a female police officer came over.
"What is it, Ms. Matsuda?"
Yumi went back and told others about the black shadow she saw while driving as if she was dazzled.
Listening to the description, which was full of words like "maybe", "seems", "uncertain", etc., the policewoman couldn't help but ask a question.
"Ms. Matsuda, did you really hit that thing? Was it an illusion caused by your fear?"
People may have hallucinations when they are extremely frightened, including intuition and vision. For example, when some people are very scared, they may feel that there are eyes watching them in the dark. The shadow of a pillar may also be mistaken for a monster by Yumi in that situation.
"Well... I'm not sure..."
"Ms. Matsuda, you said you felt the car hit it?"
"I... am not sure..."
Yumi wasn't sure about anything now, especially after hearing what the policewoman said.
The officer looked at her and smiled.
"Okay, we understand. Thank you again for your cooperation. Go home and rest."
After the old and young of the Matsuda family got into another car and left, the windbreaker officer returned to the isolation zone at the scene.
The policewoman was already carefully observing the front of Yumi Matsuda's Honda.
"How is it? Are there any signs of impact?"
The officer came over and saw the policewoman paying attention to a small scratch on the bumper.
"That's all, but I suspect Ms. Matsuda may have rubbed against a wall in her panic."
"Well, track down all the vehicles that left the parking lot before. I suspect the remaining bodies are hidden among them, but the heads were left behind due to negligence or some other reason."
"Also, apply for a search warrant and, with the cooperation of the TV station, search the TV station building. I suspect the dismemberment scene is somewhere upstairs."
"Okay, senior!"
…
The Matsuda family's house is an antique-style villa with an independent courtyard. It has wooden floors, tatami mats and sliding doors everywhere, but the outer corridors are equipped with aluminum alloy glass to prevent wind and rain.
After this incident, Yumi Matsuda, who was supposed to get off work at 8 o'clock, got home with her grandfather at almost ten o'clock.
Old people are not as energetic as young people, so Matsuda Masagami went to bed first. Although Yumi seemed to have recovered in front of her grandfather, she was still panicking in her heart and couldn't sleep at all.
So I was watching TV alone in the living room.
"Woof woof woof~" The hybrid Shiba Inu in the yard suddenly barked, and Yumi's heart was suddenly lifted.
"Dongdongdong~"
"Ms. Matsuda, open the door for me."
When Yumei turned around, she found a pretty girl in a high school uniform standing outside the aluminum sliding door in the corridor.
"Ms. Matsuda, I am the daughter of Makino Teru. Please open the door for me!"
Makino Teru is a senior at the TV station who takes good care of Yumi. He saw that the girl vaguely resembled him, which made Yumi less wary.
Good looks are a natural advantage, and perhaps it is also because Yumi Matsuda is a little afraid of being alone. It would be cold for a weak girl standing outside, so he opened the door for her.
"How did you get in? The gate is so open."
The latter ignored the question after coming in and said straight to the point: "Ms. Matsuda, you are in danger!"
"ah?"
She suddenly thought of the previous murder case. Could it be that this girl knew who the murderer was?
The female high school student didn't seem to want to be misunderstood, so she explained to her solemnly.
"You've been targeted by a monster!"
"ah?"
The second "ah" was much more confusing than the first one, and Yumi Matsuda was a little confused.
"monster?"
Is it the murderer's nickname?
She had already planned to go back and get her cell phone to call the police and provide clues.
"Um!"
The girl looked outside, closed the aluminum alloy glass porch door, walked into the living room very familiarly, sat down, and placed her backpack on the low table.
The girl's series of actions seemed very sophisticated, as if she was saying, "I am not just an ordinary high school student."
When Yumi saw this, she frowned, went in to get a drink from the refrigerator, and then sat down at the table.
"I'd like honey grapefruit tea, thank you!"
Such a sociable girl, Yumi handed her the lemon tea and waited for her next words.
"Don't disbelieve me, Sister Matsuda."
After drinking the honey grapefruit tea, the girl changed her name from Miss Matsuda to Sister Matsuda in a short period of time.
"There are monsters in this world! I only discovered this half a year ago, and the mediocre people in the temples and shrines in this country are all just for show!"
The girl spoke with confidence, her tone tinged with arrogance and a hint of disdain.
This sentence made Yumi realize that the "monster" just now was not a nickname, but it was a bit absurd.
"I remember Makino-senpai's daughter's name was Chana, right?"
"Yes! My name is Makino Kana, just call me Kana."
I vaguely remember that Senior Makino had complained to me a long time ago that her daughter was too immature. She used to smile and say that high school students were of this age. Now she somewhat understood.
However, Japan's animation industry is a major cultural symbol, and even Yumi herself is obsessed with it. It is normal for a young girl to love these things, but she shouldn't joke about murder cases. This is very bad!
