Enter the apartment.
The room is in the architectural style of the last century, and its age is comparable to one-third of the history of the United States.
The two stopped in Room 202. They didn't find any other residents along the way. It was probably because a resident died suddenly, causing the already dilapidated apartment to have fewer and fewer tenants.
"I remember that the landlord is obliged to tell the tenants about the haunted house where people have died." Kiryu Yiyi looked at Reiko Asakawa taking out the key to open the door and asked: "And the information about the house should also be recorded on the housing agency's information. If It would be a crime not to inform."
"Click" the door lock opens.
As Asakawa Reiko opened the door, she explained: "They have a special method."
"special?"
"It's a small trick used by real estate agents and landlords. I only found out after investigating."
Entering the entrance, she explained while taking off her shoes: "Indeed, Japan has laws that require you to inform the next tenant of a house where someone has died. But as long as the previous tenant is still alive, then theoretically, The landlord can choose not to disclose the condition of the property before that time."
"It is said that after every death, the landlord, Mrs. Gu Guan, will choose to rent the house to foreigners for a short period of time, because there are many foreigners coming to Tokyo to work, and this kind of house is very cheap, so it doesn't matter if it is a haunted house, as long as it is enough It’s good if it’s cheap, and foreigners often change their residences when working, which just meets the landlord’s requirements.”
"That is to say..." Kiryu Yiyi understood clearly: "If someone rents a house for a short period of time and then moves out, then the house that has been destroyed by others will be changed to the previous tenant who left safely in the agency's information?"
"That's right."
"The Japanese old lady's disgusting trick." Kiryu Yiyi fired a map cannon without any hesitation.
Reiko Asakawa showed an awkward and impolite smile.
Although she felt the same in her heart, on the surface she still wouldn't say it directly like Kiryu Ichiru.
Enter the room.
The interior is very clean, with almost no furniture.
"Someone just moved out of this house not long ago," Asakawa Reiko said: "It is said that a poor painter couple lived here, but the husband of that family hanged himself not long ago, so the wife also moved out as soon as possible. .”
Kiryu turned his head left and right to study. He didn't feel any demon, evil, or gloomy atmosphere here.
It's a very peaceful room.
But the more this happens, the more it feels wrong.
After shaking his head slightly at Asakawa Reiko, indicating that there was nothing special, he said, "I'll go to the bedroom to take a look."
"Then, I'll go to the kitchen!"
The apartment is not big, with one bedroom, a kitchen, and a living room.
Nothing was left in the bedroom. Just like the first impression when I entered the door, it was very clean.
"ah!"
Reiko Asakawa suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" He rushed over and saw Reiko Asakawa sitting at the door of the kitchen, pointing tremblingly at the wall.
"It scared me just now. If I look closely, it looks like a scar on wood."
On walls or furniture made of logs, you can often see scars on the wood, and some even look like some kind of weird patterns, which can make people who live alone late at night think of all kinds of horror stories in their heads.
Kiryu Yiyi looked in the direction pointed by Reiko Asakawa.
There are red patterns.
"It doesn't look like a scar on wood." He came closer and stared at the pattern: "It looks like the outline of a woman, as if it were painted on it. This is a painting!"
It is a painting that makes people unable to take it away after just one glance. Even if they close their eyes, they will keep redrawing it in their mind, making their hair stand on end!
And it looks like it was painted with blood and is dark red.
But it's probably not blood, because blood will coagulate and turn black, and it won't stay red all the time.
There are no other problems except that the painting technique makes people feel physically uncomfortable.
"I don't see the problem yet, let's go."
"Um!"
The two left the apartment, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance on the roadside.
"Tejima?"
"Boss!" Teshima Kotaro saw Kiryu Ichijo and greeted him excitedly: "Why are you here?"
He also noticed that Reiko Asakawa next to Kiryu Yishi bowed and said hello out of politeness to the elderly: "Hello."
Asakawa Reiko nodded slightly: "Hello."
"I'm working. By the way, your home is near here?"
"I work part-time around here," Teshima Kotaro said, "I also worked as a delivery boy at a ramen shop some time ago."
He came closer to Kiryu Yiyi and whispered: "Some time ago, I came to this apartment to deliver ramen, and then the man died that day. The police even looked for me for this."
Kiryu Ichizu stared at Kotaro Teshima with a very strange look.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Tejima touched his face in confusion.
"You're not pretending to be someone else, are you?"
"ah?"
Tejima said excitedly: "How is that possible!"
"The Tejima I know, if he knew about a certain incident, he would tell the world about it."
The big mouth leaks out everywhere. If you carefully investigate the rumors in the school, more than 80% of them can be seen jumping up and down Tejima participating in communication.
"Boss, don't talk about me like a gossip girl!" Tejima yelled very aggrievedly, and then whispered: "The reason why I didn't mention it is actually because I felt that the apartment building was very weird. If I hadn't happened to be working nearby today If I were passing by and saw you again, boss, I would not walk in front of this apartment building."
"Weird?"
"It's very uncomfortable anyway." Tejima nodded.
Kiryu Yishi himself did not have this feeling.
After chatting with Tejima for a few more words, Tejima hurriedly said goodbye because he had to work part-time.
"Let's stop here for today's investigation."
It only takes dozens of minutes to drive back, and since she has a son to take care of at home, Reiko Asakawa cannot stay up late to investigate.
After returning to the detective agency, Kiryu rode his motorcycle home.
As soon as he entered the door, Kamishiro Miyoko immediately came over and twitched his nose slightly.
"It smells like a woman's perfume."
"Don't look like you're trying to catch your wife." Kiryu complained.
"Want to have a big dinner?"
Kamishiro Miyako pointed at Kiryu Ichijo's pocket: "Those two coupons for high-end restaurants."
"Well, that's fine"
Speaking of which, since I came to this world, I haven't had many big meals. Most of the time I just eat a rice ball, a rice bowl, or fried rice.
A high-end western restaurant.
A woman was smiling and chatting with the foreign blond man in front of her while eating.
"Thank you very much, Father John, otherwise I don't know what I would do..."
Father John shook his head slightly: "This is just a preliminary exorcism. If you want to eradicate the curse, you need to pray and bless it. This will take a whole night, and the two of us have to be alone in a room, so you need to trust me enough. Because in order not to hinder the transmission of divine power during the process, the two of us may not be able to wear clothes."
The woman's cheeks turned red: "Of course I believe you, Father."
While the two were chatting about the exorcism ritual, a young man and woman sat down at the next table.
"I didn't expect it to be so luxurious."
The neighbor table sighed loudly.
Father John's mouth twitched, and the woman sitting opposite him complained softly: "It's so shameless to speak loudly in public."
After hearing these words, Father John turned his head and just opened his mouth to persuade the other party to be quiet.
However, he saw more than thirty female ghosts surrounding the man and woman.
There is also a girl in white with long hair covering her face, standing on the speaker's shoulders.
The air became quiet at that moment.
"Gudong~" Father John swallowed.
"I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent." Father John stood up abruptly: "I'll take my leave now."
"But, Father John!" The woman stood up: "What about the exorcism ceremony?"
She also trotted after him, and the ground made a "dongdong" sound.
Kiryu, who had just sat down, looked at the handsome foreign priest running away from the next table, followed by a strong woman wearing a long, tight-fitting skirt with pleats. He sighed: "Westerners The taste is really strong.”
