"So, see you tomorrow, Endo."

At the fork in the corner, Shimada waved to his friend.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Nodding, watching Shimada leave, Endo was silent for a moment before turning around and walking towards the school.

He had a premonition in his heart that the guy who secretly sent his suicide note would definitely appear again.

This time he will never miss the opponent and run away again.

When I returned to school, due to time, there were still many students like Endo in the school who had not returned.

"Have the police not gone yet?"

Endo's eyes flashed over the police car that was still parked in front of the school gate.

Speaking of which, even Endo was a little nervous when such a tragic murder occurred in the school. If he hadn't been able to let go of the guy who wrote the suicide note, he might not have come back after this situation.

"Um?"

Thinking in his mind, Endo retracted his gaze, but inadvertently saw a hiding figure in the corner not far from the school.

The other party looked a little strange, but it was obviously not the guy he was looking for.

Therefore, Endo just secretly wondered in his heart, and suppressed his curiosity and avoided the guards at the school gate secretly returned to the school.

"Huh~"

Looking back at the school guard at the school gate, Endo breathed a sigh of relief and tightened the bag in his hand, then came to the teaching building in two steps.

With yesterday's experience, Endo did not take off his shoes again this time.

Hiding at the corner of the corridor, he held his breath and began to wait patiently for the target to appear.

...

"...If possible, I would rather the whole case be just a simple murder case, rather than involve other existences, because in this way, it will be easier when the investigation results are announced to the public, rather than..."

Old school building, art room.

Yamamoto rubbed his forehead and said with some headache.

Based on Japan's strong bureaucratic style, they often like to conceal the problem rather than publish it. This time, the same is true for the incident in Keiko in Shiguang Capsule. Although the Kyoto Police Department reported it to the cabinet as soon as the incident was discovered, the instructions conveyed from the Police Department were to prevent the news from leaking out at all costs. Even if the instructions made by the Police Department had lost their meaning before they arrived.

Because of the strange story of Keiko Watanabe, it has long been spread to the entire Horikawa High School campus.

However, the Police Department still did not waver at all.

In other words, even if there are new arrangements, it must be waited for the Metropolitan Police Department to complete the assessment.

From this point of view, it is very consistent with the traditional Japanese bureaucratic style.

"If the public knows that the death of Horikawa High School is related to ghosts and gods, the public opinion of the people will definitely explode. At that time, we, the police officers in charge, will be under great pressure and may even bow and apologize in front of the media."

"At our level, we can't bow on TV. Even if we bow, we will be higher-level members of the Nakamori Police Department or the Metropolitan Police Department..."

"What's more, as long as we don't tell, who will know the truth?"

Shaking his head, Yamamoto did not think that the people were eager for the truth.

In the old school building, after covering the blood from the crime scene, he moved his sore neck, swept across the motionless statue around the art room and turned away.

“…”

In the dark art room, with Yamamoto and others leaving, the whole room fell into its original silence again.

And in the dark shadows, the fingers of the headless statues standing quietly in the room seemed to move slightly.

...

Come out of the old school building.

The police officer responsible for guarding at the door immediately tied the rope in his hand to the door, and hung a slogan "No entry" on it, warning the students and teachers in the school that if the investigation results did not come out, the entire old school building would remain in this state.

The person in charge of Horikawa High School did not make much statement about this.

After all, the old school building was no longer in use a few years ago. Except for the murdered teacher Tanaka who was still able to use it, other teachers will basically not enter it again.

Compared to the lockdown of the old school buildings, the school manager obviously cares more about when this case will be in the end.

After all, such frequent problems are not a good thing for the entire Horikawa High School.

"At present, there is no way to confirm it. In short, we will notify the school as soon as the investigation results come out."

"I hope the Metropolitan Police Department can complete the investigation as soon as possible."

After talking to the person in charge, Yamamoto and others were about to get in the bus and go back after leaving the school gate.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Police!"

However, at this moment, the figure that had been hiding in the corner rushed out.

"I am Gao Shan, a reporter from the "Kongbao Newspaper", and I want to ask you a few questions!"

Holding a reporter's certificate and calling himself a reporter from Kyodo Newspaper, the man looked at Yamamoto who had walked out of the school, with a long wait expression and couldn't wait to ask questions.

“…”

Looking at the reporter Takayama who suddenly appeared in front of him, Yamamoto's first reaction was to be stunned.

As an ordinary policeman in the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department, he does not have much experience in contacting journalists.

"As far as I know, Horikawa High School still has many unexpected deaths so far, from the initial student deaths to the recent death of a teacher, Mr. Police, can you tell me the truth behind all this?"

At the first time the reporter appeared, Yamamoto was at a loss.

But he was an experienced policeman after all, so after reacting, he immediately shook his head and gave a standard answer: "Sorry, there is nothing to tell."

Faced with Yamamoto's attitude, the reporter Takayama was not discouraged at all, but continued to ask: "However, as far as I know, there is a strange connection behind every death case in Horikawa High School, and the way of death is not simple. The most important thing is that a few days ago, a body that has been twenty years old in the Shiguang Capsule was accidentally found in a class reunion at Horikawa High School. Is this telling that all the death cases that occurred in Horikawa High School are not simple..."

The case of Keiko Watanabe is the source of everything.

It is also the most difficult to hide among all cases, because there were many people participating in the class reunion at that time. Even though the police department tried hard to control it later, it still could not stop all the news from leaking out.
