It took a lot of words for Paine to get Sayuri Inoue to give up the idea of ​​helping him clean the house. Before he understood the haunted houses and ghosts in this world, Paine didn't want to meet these things at all. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand in danger. Although Paine was not a gentleman, even a villain would not be stupid enough to commit suicide.

After sending Sayuri Inoue back to her home, Paine returned to the hotel. On the way, he finally had time to open the paper ball thrown to him by Shinozuka Kaoru. When I opened it, I found it was an email address.

Although mobile phones and chat software have become popular in East Nine District, people are still more accustomed to using email for communication.

"It's not because I'm handsome that you want to flirt with me, right?"

Paine suddenly had a strange idea. Back in the hotel room, Paine turned on the old desktop computer in the room, and there was a loud fan sound coming from the old iron case.

"This crappy computer should be cleaned out."

Paine complained, and then he logged into his email and sent an email to that email address.

"Shinozuka Kaoru-san?"

Paine received a reply quickly.

"Xiaolin-kun, I didn't expect you to reply to me so quickly. (o゚ω゚o)"

"Why are you exchanging email addresses with me like this? You can be more open."

"That's to prevent your childhood sweetheart Sayuri Inoue from becoming jealous. (^_^)"

Shinozuka Kaoru is obviously very good at using kaomoji, after all, people in this world have not yet mastered such things as emoticons.

"What are you doing for that?"

"Please don't get me wrong, although you are very handsome, I have no intention of pursuing you≧◠◡◠≦"

"Is that the connection between classmates?"

"Kobayashi-kun, do you still remember Shinozuka Kazunari≥Ö‿Ö≤?"

Shinozuka Kazunari? Naturally, Paine had no impression, but he suddenly remembered that he had seen this name in Kobayashi Shinichi's notes. Shinozuka Kazuki was the senior who recommended Kobayashi Shinichi to enter the otaku profession. Not long after he was introduced to the profession, he was admitted to Tokyo National University.

"Of course I remember, he is my senior and takes good care of me, so you are..."

"I'm his sister."

"Hahaha, it turns out there is such a relationship. How is Senior Yichen doing now? Ever since he passed the university entrance examination, the contact between us has gradually become less and less."

Paine started to fight haha.

"he died."

Shinozuka Kaoru no longer uses kaomoji.

Paine didn't know how to reply for a moment, and it took him a while to reply.

"This...it's unbelievable. Senior Issei is still so young. Did he encounter any accident?"

"Xiao Lin-kun, there is no need to hide it from me. You should know the cause of my brother's death. People in your profession will always encounter accidents. I looked through my brother's diary and I know that you are working as a house master."

Good guy, forget it if Kobayashi Shinichi writes a diary, because this can also be regarded as Paine's guide for beginners. But what diary did you, Shinozuka Kazunari, write? Who would be a serious person to write a diary? It seems that this guy is not serious either.

"Now that you know everything, then Senior Yichen must have encountered a truly dangerous haunted house. This is how the home master's profession is, and accidents will happen if you don't happen to happen."

"My father died of illness when I was a child, and my mother remarried. We, brother and sister, have always lived at my grandparents' house. When my grandparents passed away, it was my brother who was trying his best to provide for me to live and study. After my brother died, I was left alone. A diary and a bankbook.”

"Please grief."

Paine didn't know what to reply.

"Xiaolin-kun, my brother mentioned the friendship between you and him many times in his diary. He thinks you are a junior with great potential. The reason why I transferred from Tokyo to Kochi Prefecture is to find you. I hope you can help me. Solve the mystery of my brother’s unexpected death.”

"This... I am also very sad that senior Yi Cheng died unexpectedly, but it is normal for the house master to die in a haunted house. The ghost thing itself is a mystery."

Paine had no intention of getting into trouble until he understood what was going on in the world.

"But when my brother was found, only his lower body was left in the room, and the upper half of his body was missing."
