Chapter 302 The Secret of Hexagonal Village
If it is really what he thought, then someone will definitely be killed next...
But what is the purpose of the murderer?
Kill according to the characteristics of each corpse.
After thinking about it, Fujino asked Fengji Junya: "Uncle Fengji, besides people in the village, does anyone else know about these mummies?"
"I don't know that."
Uncle Fengji looked a little strange: "Only the owners of the various museums in our village know the secrets of these patron saints. Others should be unaware, and according to the rules, other museum owners cannot tell them. You have also discovered this. I learned this secret, so I brought you here to see it."
"Is that so?"
Fujino paid attention to Fengji Junya, and at the same time thought secretly in his heart.
Obviously, the murderer must be very familiar with this village.
Otherwise, he would not have known that the skylight on the top of the church could just hang the bed up and kill Ruoye.
Now, the only one who fits the characteristics of the murderer is Kabuto...
After thinking, Fujino opened the system task interface:
[Detective Professional Mission: Rokkaku Murder Case
Mission goal: Solve the murder case that occurred in the church
Mission reward: 100 million yen·[-] detective reputation points]
Judging from the fact that the mission has not yet been completed, the murderer is definitely not Kabuto Zi.
If it was really her, then the system task must have been completed long after he revealed the method of committing the crime, and after the police determined that Dou Wuzi was the murderer.
The time also came in the afternoon.
Coming out of the basement where the mummies were stored, Fujino returned to the guest room of the Tokita family.
"hateful……"
Fujino scratched his head, but had no clue about this murder case.
He has basically restored the killing techniques.
But the murderer could never be identified.
From the point of view of the method, Dou Wuzi is the most likely to realize this method, but she is not the murderer.
If he disappeared, he might have been killed by the murderer.
According to the current situation, there is no one who matches the suspect who killed Ruoye...
All have alibi.
Could it be possible that Ruoye could have killed him?
Fujino quickly discarded this idea.
It would be reasonable to say that Dougiroko killed Tokita Wakaba.
But killing yourself is a bit unjustifiable.
…………
At noon, another body was found.
Isshiki Tonao of Colorful Glass House was found dead in the refrigerator of his home, with his right foot chopped off.
On his back, there is also written "The revenge of the seventh corpse is not over yet".
According to the investigation by the police who came here in the morning and stayed in the village, and the forensics department personnel, Isshiki Tonan died in the afternoon. He died after being stabbed through the heart with a knife and cutting off one of his legs.
However, due to the large scope, the few policemen who stayed in the village for the time being were unable to conduct alibi investigations.
Fujino immediately found the secret room in the villa and checked the mummy inside.
Just as he had guessed, the mummy in the secret room had no right foot.
Corresponding to the murdered Isshiki Tonan.
"Curse! It must be a curse!"
As soon as Fujino returned to the scene of the crime, he saw Tokida Shisan shouting crazily: "It must be their curse! All six people on that day will be killed!"
"Six people that day, curse?"
Fujino looked at Tokita Shisan who walked away immediately after muttering to himself crazily. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, feeling a little confused.
From the current point of view, the people who were killed were all related to their own mummy.
It's just that Tokita Jusan's words about "that day" and "them" made Fujino a little confused...
Is it possible that these mummies have any direct connection with these museum owners?
If this is the case, it would conflict with what Uncle Fengji said had been passed down from ancient times.
Before Fujino could think clearly.
Immediately, another body was discovered.
It's Sanko Kusanagi of Ivy Hall.
The cause of death was exactly the same as that of Isshiki Tonan.
They were all stabbed in the heart and then had their legs chopped off.
But the leg that was chopped off was her left leg.
On the curtain at the side, there is also written in blood [The blood of the seventh corpse's revenge has not been drained yet]
Fujino found the secret room as usual and checked the mummy.
As expected, this mummy lost its left leg.
However, Fujino keenly discovered something about this mummy.
Those are the teeth of this mummy, which show signs of being treated with modern medical and dental equipment.
From the traces, Fujino was able to judge that these corpses should have survived in recent decades, rather than being passed down from ancient times...
"In recent decades?"
Fujino stared at the corpse lying peacefully in the sarcophagus.
His mind immediately recalled the pastor and his family who were killed in a church fire 27 years ago...
Judging from the bones of the corpse, it was indeed a female corpse.
She is quite comparable to the pastor's daughter.
But why did they leave the body of the pastor's daughter in their mansion?
Thinking of this, Fujino became more and more confused.
But he could feel that he was getting closer to the secret of this village.
At the same time, the identity of the murderer is also directly related to this series of secrets.
…………
After briefly discussing the case with the police, Fujino did not mention the traces found on the mummy.
Instead, he returned to Shitian's house, intending to ask Shitian Shisan about the curse.
But the other party was not at home, so Fujino searched around the village and finally found Tokida Shisan.
However, I found that the other party's behavior was a bit suspicious...
Fujino followed him through a nearby forest and a winding steep forest path, crossed a fence with a no-entry sign, waded through a swamp, and came to an endless grassland. '.It's just that the shape of these grasses is very strange, different from normal plants, and it is obvious that they have been carefully cultivated.
"Curse, it's all because of these damn weeds!"
Tokita Shisan knelt on the ground and hammered the ground with both hands: "If it weren't for these hateful 'golden apples', Ruoye wouldn't have..."
'Golden apples? '
Fujino was stunned when he heard this, and it suddenly dawned on him.
Judging from what Tokita Shisan just said, the so-called golden apple should be marijuana.
Immediately, he walked forward and greeted: "Mr. Tokita."
"Nani?!"
Tokita Shisan turned his head in surprise, "What on earth are you..."
"100 years ago, a group of priests came to this village to look for golden apples. They found golden apples and planted them here..."
Fujino glanced around: "If I guessed correctly, those golden apples should be marijuana, right?"
"With this kind of marijuana, your entire village must be involved, right?"
Tokida Shisan looked at Fujino with a gloomy expression and said nothing.
"It's easy to talk about growing marijuana, it's clear at a glance."
Fujino walked forward slowly and said in a deep voice: "What I really care about are the seven corpses. After all, judging from the conditions of the three corpses I saw, they are not the patron saints of the village at all, but Burned alive by fire in recent decades.”
"It just so happened that the pastor's family in the middle of this village died in a fire 27 years ago... All the body parts of the seven corpses were removed, and the body parts lost by the victims who were killed one after another this time were also related to themselves. The corpses at home are exactly the same.”
After a pause, Fujino looked at Tokita Shisan: "Mr. Tokita, you just mentioned curses and revenge. This should be related to the death of the priest's family, right?"
There was a drop of cold sweat on Tokita Shisan's forehead, but he still didn't speak.
For things like this, it was within Fujino's expectation that the other party would be tight-lipped.
So Fujino decided to play the emotional card, looked at Tokita Jusan and said, "Mr. Tokita, you should also want to catch the murderer of Wakaba, right?"
"Ruo... Ruoye..."
Shi Tian Shisan was taken aback when he heard the words, "You, are you sure you can find the murderer who killed Luo Ye?"
"I'm sure."
Fujino nodded: "As long as you tell us what these corpses and the marijuana are about."
"In this case...well, I will tell you everything."
Tokita Shisan hesitated for a moment, feeling that his only daughter was dead anyway, and that she would be the last to be born, so he decided to get out of the situation completely.
100 years ago, missionaries who came to this village from abroad found wild cannabis, and together with their followers, six families living in the alien house and the pastor of the church, they cultivated cannabis and profited from it.
After the missionaries left, seven families in the village reached an agreement to cultivate marijuana secretly without letting other people in the village know about it, and to make money secretly.
But just 27 years ago, the pastor's descendants suddenly no longer wanted to continue growing marijuana.
The pastor and his wife adopted seven young orphans. It was because of those children that the pastor had the idea of stop growing marijuana.
But this obviously created a conflict of interest with the other six major families in the village.
After several negotiations, the pastor and others failed to reach a common agreement until the negotiations finally broke down and the pastor decided to call the police.
Then, six curators in the village brutally shot and killed the pastor and his wife who were planning to set fire to the cannabis field.
Afterwards, they forced seven of the pastor's children into the church and set fire to them all, burning them to death.
But in the ruins of the church afterwards, parts of the girls' bodies were missing, as if they had been cut off by the devil's claws...
After that, each of the six museum owners took a corpse back to their own museum and hid it in a secret room.
After hearing the whole incident, Fujino's expression suddenly darkened.
Killed nine people in a row, including seven underage children.
After death, the body was taken back to his home...
These people are really beasts.
But taking a deep breath and calming down, Fujino still grasped the gist of the matter: "These corpses were already like this when you found them. Didn't you cut them open?"
"No...we didn't do this..."
Shi Tian Shisan's face was slightly pained, and his forehead was already soaked with sweat: "We brought these corpses back to restrain each other, so that no one can have the intention of quitting or calling the police again... because this is our crime. evidence."
"I already know……"
Fujino nodded, and the clues in his mind gradually connected: "If my guess is correct, then there are actually only six of these seven corpses."
"Only six?!"
Tokita Shisan's eyes widened.
"Yes."
Fujino explained: "Cut off a part of each part to form the seventh body... The one who killed Wakaba may actually be the serial murder trap set by the girl who survived back then to retaliate against you. …”
After determining the motive for the murder, the two just returned to the village when they heard that another body had been found.
The one who died this time was Kabutozi...
Kabutozi was hidden in the armor at the entrance of the Armor Hall.
At this time, her left shoulder was removed, and her head was separated from her body.
On the back of the armor, it was written in blood [The seventh corpse, this is the second person, the blood has not been shed enough! 】
After identification by the police who stayed behind, Kabutozi's time of death was similar to Wakaba's.
In other words, at the same time that Wakaba was killed, Kabutoko had already been killed.
Fujino sneaked into the secret room of the Armor Hall.
"Different?"
Fujino looked at the corpse in the coffin in front of him, stunned.
The corpse lying in the coffin had lost its lower body, while Kabutozi had lost its left shoulder.
This time, the rules were completely out of whack.
From Ruo Ye who was killed first, to Yin Nan, and Kusanagi later, what the three of them lost was the corresponding part of their own corpses.
But this time, there was something unusual.
However, Fujino smelled a clue among the abnormalities.
"So that's how it is..."
Fujino took a deep breath, looked at the mummy in front of him, and lowered his head: "Did you kill yourself?"
