Chapter 17 Inujiro made great achievements (Part 1)

Unable to get what he wanted from the school staff and teachers, Paine had to go back to the principal's office to find Echizen Nanjiro. But Paine was in vain this time - he found that the office was empty, and Nanjiro Echizen had left the principal's office.

After asking the guard, Paine learned that just an hour ago (when Paine was still questioning other school staff and teachers), Echizen Nanjiro hurriedly drove out of the school.

"The principal seems to be in a hurry. I see that he is driving with one hand and answering the phone with the other."

The person in the school most likely to know the answer suddenly left the school, which caught Paine slightly off guard. He regretted why he didn't go back to Echizen Nanjiro immediately to interrogate the situation. At least he knew something about the fire. Moreover, Paine did not believe that Echizen Nanjiro really thought that the seven murders were coincidences. Echizen Nanjiro must know something, but he was unwilling to say it.

"Speaking of which, when Nanjiro Echizen rushed us out of the office, he was answering the phone."

Paine recalled the details before they left the office. When they closed the door, he heard Nanjiro Echizen say to the other end of the phone: "Well, yes, I have already taken care of that matter..."

"Is it those school directors? It's not like that. The reason why Echizen Nanjiro became the principal is because he is the chief director of the school board. If it were other school directors, Echizen Nanjiro would not have to use the words of respect at all. language."

Paine felt he had grasped the point. Echizen Nanjiro, or the people behind him, must know more secrets about the abandoned Tokuhiro High School building. Anyway, there are still three days left, and there is no way that Echizen Nanjiro will not come to school. Then I will use the mind trick to make him confess honestly. Isn’t that rare thing, the Hannya Mask, within easy reach?

Paine was in such a good mood that he stopped going back to the classroom. Anyway, he was not interested in classroom life. He chose to go back to the hotel to have a good rest first. The repeated use of mind-bewitching techniques made him mentally exhausted. He needed to replenish his mental and physical energy.

Paine fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow when he returned to the hotel room, but his sleep was not peaceful. He always had some weird dreams. One moment, he dreamed that Sayuri Inoue turned into a man-eating ghost. The next moment, he dreamed that Shinozuka Kaoru shouted, "Kill the Demon" and slashed him with a knife. The next moment, he dreamed of Echizen Nanjiro proudly. He told him that he had actually planned to use the old school building to open a for-profit haunted house.

All in all, these are some pretty ridiculous dreams. After an unknown amount of time, Paine was woken up by the sun hitting his face. He struggled to get up and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. The cold water cleared Paine's mind a lot.

Paine wiped his wet hair with a dry towel and opened the computer to check his mailbox, because Inujiro had previously claimed to use relationships and channels to search for information.

"I don't know if that unreliable guy can do it."

Paine opened the mailbox and found that Inujiro had sent an email.

The name of the email is "All the information you want is here! The water in the old school building is deep! Be careful!"
