It takes about an hour and a half by train from Tokyo.
Kiryu left from the platform with a backpack on his back. This time the work may not be so violent, so it would be inconvenient to carry a hatchet with him.
With Kirisaki Suimei here, Kiryu suspected that he might not have to worry too much.
In front is an old street with old-fashioned houses.
But just after walking for a while, Kiryu found that he was lost. He had to call Kirizaki Suimei, and then walked to an old-style bungalow according to the other party's directions.
Morishita Residence.
There are very tall trees planted in the yard, and the brick walls are covered with vines, but in terms of spookiness, the Oshikiri family villa is even better.
The feeling here is that no one lives there.
Kiryu rang the doorbell, and while waiting he heard the sound of the summer wind blowing the leaves in the yard.
rustle~
A little weirdly cold.
"Hey, junior!"
A lively voice came from afar.
Short hair, sportswear, short stature and often a wicked smile on his face.
Mamiya Yuxiang, I haven’t contacted her for a while, and I didn’t expect to meet her again here.
"I strongly recommended you to Kirisaki-sensei." She winked at Kiryu, looking like she was asking for credit.
Although the other party is not a top beauty like Fujino Terumi, she can still be regarded as Xiao Jiabiyu, and the winking expression made Kiryu feel a little shaken.
Unfortunately, there was no formal bowing and introduction between the two parties, so Kiryu could not see the favorability of the other party on [social].
It shouldn't be low, right?
Although he is an old-looking man with some bad traits, it does not prevent Kiryu from being a little bit more beautiful. No one wants to deny his charm.
"Thank you so much" Kiryu said.
"Kirizaki-sensei is waiting inside. We have invited many experts here this time, so we can have a great time."
Mr. Kiryu, Yuka Mamiya, led the way half a step ahead.
"What is the situation?" Kiryu asked: "Kirisaki-sensei didn't explain clearly on the phone."
"It must be a poltergeist," Yuka Mamiya said uncertainly: "Actually, I just arrived not long ago. It is said that at night, things in the room will move inexplicably."
After entering the entrance hall and taking off his shoes, Kiryu followed Mamiya and walked inside.
Although it looks like a shabby house from the outside, the interior decoration is very stylish, and visually it is priced beyond the reach of Kiryu.
"I can get 50,000 yen this time, how much should Kirizaki-sensei and the others get? It seems that we need to get the name of psychic detective out as soon as possible."
In fact, if he had enough money, he would love to open his own practice.
But going to school is also very important. After all, the system name is "haoxuesheng". Whether a good student or a poor student, there is no doubt that the student's identity is very important.
"Hello!"
A young woman serving tea appears.
"You are Mr. Kirisaki's student, right?"
"Yes" Kiryu nodded: "I'm here to help."
"Welcome" the woman introduced herself: "I am Noriko Morishita. Everyone is resting in the living room. Please come here."
The two followed Morishita Noriko into the living room.
The person who appeared made Kiryu stunned.
In addition to Kirizaki Suimei, there are also the miko Matsuzaki and the powerful monk who met in the previous fox fairy incident.
In Kiryu's impression, Matsuzaki Miko is an absolute imitation, but the monk's strength is very good.
"Oh, it's you, Kaidan Radar~" Miko Matsuzaki waved in greeting.
As soon as he walked in, Kiryu could smell the scent of the other party's famous brand perfume.
"Long time no see, half-baked miko-san," Kiryu replied unceremoniously.
The friendly atmosphere is about to be broken.
"Ahem." Kirizaki Suimaki knew that the current situation was not good. He coughed twice in embarrassment and asked proactively: "Can you help arrange our accommodation, Mrs. Kana, we should be in the house for a while."
Only then did Kiryu notice that there was another woman in the room. She was wearing heavy makeup and her brand-name perfume smelled no lighter than Matsuzaki Miko.
Mrs. Chanel nodded.
But it was not her who was busy, but Noriko Morishita.
A group of people went upstairs.
In fact, in addition to arranging accommodation, everyone also wants to investigate this bungalow.
"Is there really a poltergeist?" Yuka Mamiya approached Kiryu and whispered, "I think that cold Mrs. Kana is weird."
Through understanding, Kiryu knew that three women now lived in this house.
Noriko Morishita, her sister-in-law Kana Morishita, and an 8-year-old girl Morishita Remi.
It is said that Morishita Noriko's brother is the president of a certain company, and the company is also established abroad.
This... is definitely a big deal!
It's a pity that I can only get 50,000.
After arranging their accommodation, the witch and the monk acted first. One of them was chanting sutras in the living room downstairs, while the other was holding talismans and posting them around the house.
Sometimes Kiryu Ichizu wonders why a folklorist like Kirizaki Suimei would be associated with two people who engage in feudal superstition.
"We didn't come together." Faced with Kiryu's doubts, Kirizaki Suimei introduced: "I received a call from President Morishita. We have friends we know. It seems that the two of them went through other channels."
So teacher, your appearance fee is the highest, right?
Kiryu didn't say this.
He was bored and tried to use chest expansion exercises to increase his attribute points.
"Remei, it's time for some snacks~"
Mrs. Chanel is holding a piece of cake.
Remi must be the 8-year-old little girl. He is holding a doll, the kind of doll that closes its eyes when lying down and opens its eyes when it stands up.
When Kiryu was a child, he tried to dismantle one of his female classmates' dolls. There were heavy objects in the doll's eyes.
The anthropomorphic doll reminds him of a horror movie, Annabelle.
So he always stayed away from this kind of thing, and got angry just looking at it.
"Remi?"
Mrs. Chanel's tone became softer: "Would you like some snacks?"
Remi just shook her head.
Soon, Mrs. Chanel lost her patience and glared at her, turned around and left.
Mamiya Yuuka walked over and communicated with Aimi in a low voice, but the voices of the two of them were too low and Kiryu didn't hear them. He didn't dare to go over, lest he look so vicious and scare the children into crying.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the monk and the miko came back together.
"I have finished removing the spirits," the monk said confidently.
"I have already dealt with the spirit," Matsuzaki Miko hummed.
They are enemies in the same industry, and both of them want to take the credit for removing spirits. This reminds Kiryu of the old fortune-teller he met at a crossroads in his previous life.
I really hope the two of them figure out who will suffer a bloody disaster, maybe they can watch a fight between a monk and a witch.
The two of them didn't fight, they just snorted a few times and turned away like children quarreling.
Miko Matsuzaki also disappointed Kiryu, who seemed to be more powerful when fighting against her.
At night, after a simple dinner, no one went back to the room to sleep.
They were here to help deal with the poltergeist. Even if the monk and the witch really succeeded in getting rid of the ghost, they would have to stay for a day or two to prove it.
If the task is not completed, it is estimated that the task will not end so easily.
Mamiya Yuka approached Kiryu: "I was chatting with Remi this afternoon and found that the child has a very strange personality."
"An 8-year-old child is an age even a dog would hate." Kiryu didn't find it strange at all.
"No, Remi is very resistant to Mrs. Kana... She told me that Mrs. Kana would poison her snacks." Yuka Mamiya said in a low voice: "I suspect that the so-called poltergeist may be Mrs. Kana or Remi. of."
"Did you tell Kirizaki-sensei?"
"Well, as I said, the teacher asked me to wait first," Yuka Mamiya said, "the teacher is still suffering from jet lag."
It seems that she regards Kiryu as an audience. An excellent detective needs an audience. The sleepy Kirizaki Suimei ignores her, and the monk and the miko are strangers.
Kiryu smelled the light shampoo scent of Mamiya Yuka, and couldn't help but feel that what Mamiya Yuka said was somewhat correct.
This seemingly discordant family cannot deny that there are people behind the scenes.
"ah!"
Suddenly there was a scream.
Several people rushed over immediately.
The living room was a mess, the sofas and tables were overturned, and cups were broken on the floor. Noriko Morishita stood at the door in panic, pointing tremblingly at the room: "Here he is again!"
Mamiya Yuka whispered in Kiryu's ear: "Now I'm afraid I have one more suspect, Morishita Noriko!"
Looking at Mamiya with an "I am a detective" expression, Kiryu wanted to say something. There are only three residents in the house, and you have doubted them all. How can you still look confident?
