"Did you hear that Reiko encountered a peeping tom while taking a shower yesterday and is now bedridden in the dormitory?"
An interesting topic came from a table behind them. The Mochizuki trio and Miike Naeko all pricked up their ears and didn't even have time to swallow the food in their mouths.
This is the second floor of the cafeteria. After two weeks of running in, Mochizuki finally adapted to the hard life of the police academy.
The canteen has almost been explored. Today is a day off. The four of us agreed to go shopping together after dinner.
"Oh, why did I hear that she watched a horror movie, was frightened by other students when she went to the bathroom to take a shower, and is now pretending to be sick in bed?"
"It seems to be a girl. She stays in the bathroom until late every day and doesn't know what she is doing."
"But I heard that she is not from our school, and no one else has seen her."
Mochizuki looked at the girls passing by and shook her head secretly, "You can be so scared by watching a movie. Are you serious?"
However, it seems that this movie is indeed being released recently. Why don't she go and watch it?
Really, I thought I could make a fortune by meeting the second ghost!
The four of them stood up and put the empty plates in their hands into the recycling bin, picked up their bags and ran outside the school, a typical pace that would only appear when a prisoner in a labor camp is released.
I changed trains twice along the way, caught a thief, and experienced the misery of being crowded, and finally arrived at my destination - Mihua Shopping Building.
Mihua Shopping Building is a comprehensive shopping mall with a wide range of food, entertainment, and clothing.
Due to limited time, the four decided to go separately. Miyamoto Yumi and Miike Naeko went shopping together, while Mochizuki and Sato Mihoko planned to watch a movie and buy some books and other odds and ends. Finally, everyone met at the restaurant on the second floor. , have barbecue together.
"Wangyue, let's go first!"
Miyamoto Yumi took Miike Naeko's hand, waved to Mochizuki and Sato Miho, and disappeared at the entrance of the building.
Mochizuki looked at the time boredly. The movie tickets were booked in advance and she could just pick them up from the staff when entering the venue. However, it was still early and she remembered that there was a bookstore nearby.
She happened to be buying some history books. She also had a research report that she hadn't written yet and needed a lot of ghost legends to support it.
"Let's go to the bookstore first. It's still early."
Mihoko Sato has recently been supplementing her knowledge on criminal investigation. She has several books to buy, so naturally she has no objections.
"Help, catch the pervert~"
A scream came from the bathhouse opposite the bookstore, and Mochizuki and Miho Sato looked at each other, peeping in the bathroom.
I saw a man in a crisp black suit running out of the store with an embarrassed look on his face. He was holding a briefcase in his hand and covering his face to avoid the onlookers on the street.
The person who ran out after him was a girl dressed in simple clothes and wearing an apron. She should be an employee working here.
"I'm not a voyeur, I'm here to find my wife, and we agreed to meet here."
The man in a straight suit explained loudly while struggling.
Still holding a mobile phone in his hand, Wang Yue glanced at the information on it and realized that this was indeed the right place.
Shared bathing culture is relatively popular in Japan. There are many types of bathhouses open to the public. The most popular is of course the legendary shared bathing for men and women.
"Nonsense, Mrs. Fujino didn't come at all today. The appointment was canceled long ago. It was obviously you who broke in to spy on the guests inside."
The woman didn't believe the man's explanation at all. She grabbed the man's suit jacket and held her cell phone in her hand. She had obviously called the police.
Mochizuki shrugged at Miho Sato, who was eager to try. No one ran away, and someone had already called the police. They didn't have anything to do here, so it was more important to do business.
"Ah, dead!"
There was another scream in the hall, and a man and a woman ran out with pale faces, not fully clothed, each wrapped in a bath towel.
"There is a dead person, there is a dead person in the soup pool."
The woman's breathing was rapid, her legs were trembling and she was a little unsteady. Mochizuki helped her sit on a chair in the hall and turned to the man who came out with her for confirmation.
"Are you sure it's a dead person and not someone hiding inside?"
"He's dead, his face is already swollen."
The man was a little dazed, and all he could think about was that pale face. He just wanted to vomit now. He always felt that the air was filled with the smell of corpses. He shouldn't come here for a date just to save money.
Mochizuki sighed, what is this? He should have left resolutely just now!
"Miheko, call the police again."
Mikako Sato dialed the police number again. To deal with some small matters, the criminal police would not be dispatched. It would most likely be the film police, so the police had to be told the news in advance.
Seeing more and more customers running out after hearing the noise, Mochizuki sighed for the police who had not arrived yet.
I just learned some information from the staff. The soup pool here has no special features. It focuses on one feature - cheapness.
Therefore, most of the people who come here are couples with no money, or people with improper relationships, who have only one purpose, not to attract the attention of others.
In order to protect the privacy of guests, Tangchi has very few employees, and the entry and exit of personnel is very complicated. Almost all the guests in the store today are suspicious.
Most of the people who come here to take a bath are couples, and the testimonies cannot be used as supporting evidence for each other.
The only good thing is that employees have been posted to guard the front and back doors. So far, no one has escaped. There is a high chance that the murderer has not escaped yet.
Mochizuki stood at the door. The people in the hall had been tidied up. At least there were no barefoot people wearing bath towels anymore. However, if they needed to be searched later, they might have to take off their clothes again.
"Seal the scene immediately."
As soon as the police car stopped, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow coat and a yellow top hat got out of the car and gave orders to his subordinates in a strong voice.
"Hi, Officer Megure."
The police officer who was called quickly turned around and led several people to start cleaning up the scene.
The remaining personnel began to investigate the murder scene. There was still water in the soup pool. Except for the face of the deceased, other parts were still soaked in the water. His whole body was naked, and there was an obvious mark on his neck.
Mochizuki only glanced at it before retreating. She still thought the soul was cuter than the horrific corpse.
"Police officer, the deceased should be this gentleman's wife."
Mochizuki pointed at the man in a suit standing at the door and peeking in.
"Who are you?"
"Wangyue Qingtan, I happened to be wandering nearby with my friends and came across this incident by accident, so I learned about the situation in advance."
"As far as I know, the deceased often bathed here during her lifetime, and she made an appointment all morning today, but according to the staff, she was not seen coming, and a man canceled today's appointment."
Mochizuki smiled slightly and pointed at the man in suit standing aside with a pale face.
"This is the husband of the deceased. He came here today for a date according to his wife's message, but he was caught as a voyeur."
