I
revived Claudia, who had fainted with a shameful face covered with sweat,
tears, drool, and semen, by giving her a little energy drink from the demon
world.
Then,
at the request of Jolanda, whose anger had not subsided at all, I made Claudia
spread her labia with her fingers while spreading her legs in the shape of М,
and let her tell me what happened yesterday.
「I-It's
really embarrassing...」
「Then,
Master, we'll go with plan B, "Change her name to Poop Claudia..."」
「Yay!
I love M-shaped spread legs!」
It
seems that Claudia didn't want to be called that, so she gave a twitchy smile
and raised her voice in desperation.
Then,
to summarize Claudia's story about yesterday--
・Shiratori-san
said something about Tachioka-kun's sister.
・She
followed Tachioka-kun's sister because she was acting suspiciously.
・To
hide her face, she wore Jolanda's cap.
・When
she was following Tachioka-kun's sister, she came across the scene of the
murder.
・The
victim was Kobayashi-sensei, who was stabbed in the side with a knife.
・Next
to him was Taka-chi, who had been beaten to a pulp.
・She gives
her cap to hide Taka-chi's battered face.
・The
man who beat her up was Kobayashi-sensei.
・Taka-chi
said she was being blackmailed.
・When
she called the police and ambulance, Taka-chi told her to let her go away.
Every
time the cap was mentioned, Jolanda's brow would twitch and her body would
jolt. And because of her pale skin pigmentation, even her blue streaks are
clearly visible like 4K resolution.
「Well,
well, Jolanda, I'll ask Taka-chi to return the cap for you」
「...Please」
After
appeasing Jolanda, I turn to Claudia again.
「So,
where's Kobayashi-sensei's phone?」
「Can I
stop doing the M spread while I take it out?」
「Sure」
I nod,
and Claudia lets out a sigh of relief.
Then,
she walks over to her undressed clothes, fumbles in her pocket and grabs the
phone in its black case.
As I
hold back Jolanda's persistent harassment who says, "Then you're Poop
Claudia", I pick it up and press the side button, which brings up the
security lock screen.
The
security lock screen is so-called "Pattern", which is unlocked by
touching four of the nine dots with a stroke.
When
I'm not sure what to do, Claudia snatches the phone from my hand and says,
"This isn't security at all".
「There's
still some oil on the screen」
She
said, looking at the phone's LCD from the side, and easily unlocked the
security.
As I
make up my mind to change the security lock method of my phone, I tap the photo
app.
「Oh
my... this is terrible」
「It's
terrible...」
Peeking
at the screen from either side of me, the Detective JK sisters simultaneously
scowled.
In the
picture, Taka-chi's face is a wreck. She is holding up a piece of paper with
her name and address written on it, with her legs wide open, her chest covered
with nosebleeds, and a half-crying face.
As I
went through more images, more and more came up.
In
addition to Shibata-san, there is another student who looks familiar. In
addition, there are four other women of varying ages, all of whom I don't
recognize at all.
All of
them are holding up a piece of paper with their names and addresses written on
it, their faces swollen from the assault.
Seriously,
it makes my face tense. It feels like blood is flowing back. I don't think I'm
qualified to say that, but I can't allow it. That's what I thought.
「Well,
it's called karma, isn't it? It's like he deserved to get stabbed. Maybe he's
already dead」
As
Claudia cowered, I instructed Jolanda to "Call Ryoko".
◇ ◇ ◇
Following
Master's instructions, I put on my suit for the first time in a long time, and
stepped directly into the station through "The Door".
The
police are never closed. However, at five o'clock in the morning, there are no
police officers to be seen in the hallway.
When I
opened the door of the department, three people who had been looking at their
laptops side by side looked up at me.
The
one operating the PC is Kutaragi-kun, a young man who joined the department
last year. Standing next to him are the Chief and Inomoto-senpai.
「Terashima!
What's wrong?」
The
three of them looked surprised, but I pretended to be a little flustered and spoke.
「I
heard that the victim of the harassment case was murdered, and I was wondering
if it might have been Nakamura's work...」
The Chief
immediately frowned.
「Who's
the one who leaked the investigation information...」
「There
is no one in the department who is informed of this, sir. But I've got a few
informants myself... and one of them just happened to be among the onlookers」
「Anyway!
You're in the middle of hiding, but if you come here, you'll end up being
targeted by Nakamura!」
The Chief
still the same as an instant water heater. He's usually mild-mannered, but when
he gets angry, his voltage rises quickly.
Inomoto-senpai,
whose arm is hung from his neck with a plaster cast, appeases him with a wry
smile.
「Well,
sir, please consider Terashima's feelings. I can understand how you feel when
you hear that there has been a big change in the case you were in charge of,
and you can't stand still. It means you have a strong sense of responsibility」
「Inomoto...
you're really soft on Terashima, you know that?」
「Haha...
sorry」
Inomoto-senpai
said without a hint of embarrassment and turned his head towards me.
「Terashima,
it looks like this has nothing to do with Nakamura. And just to correct your
information, Kobayashi-shi is in critical condition, but not dead yet」
「No
connection?」
「Yes,
we've already secured the culprit」
「Secured?
Is that so?」
「Yes,
he's in a parking lot about two kilometers from the scene. Seiji Aota,
ex-boyfriend of the receptionist who was murdered the other day」
「What!?」
At
this unexpected comment, I stiffened with my mouth hanging open.
「The
ex-boyfriend... You mean, the one you said you couldn't arrest because he had
an alibi?」
「Yeah,
that's right. He's still being interrogated, but he's a tough guy with a lot of
bluff. At this point, he's confessed to almost everything. Now we just need to
find out the rest」
Now
that he had said that, I could imagine what had happened.
「You
mean... Is it a contract Killing?」
「Yes.
The receptionist was strangled with bare hands, though no fingerprints were
found. According to the forensics, the killer was a big man, nearly two meters
tall. From here, we'll be able to identify anyone who fits the profile and is
related to Kobayashi's couple」
「So it
wasn't the work of the devil, huh?」
When I
said this, the Chief spat out.
「I
think it's much more demonic than the devil. Kutaragi, show him that thing」
「Yes,
sir」
The
young Kutaragi-kun hurriedly tapped a key, and a website with green symbols on
a black background appeared.
It
seemed to be a BBS, but the displayed characters are not clear, as if they are
corrupted.
「It
seems to be a BBS where Aota exchanged information about a murder. I don't know
anything about this kind of thing, Kutaragi, please explain」
Kutaragi-kun
took over the conversation with a bit of joy when Inomoto-senpai asked him to
explain. I guess he is good at this kind of thing.
「I
think there's a program distributed somewhere to make it readable, but it looks
like the input text is displayed in a special font. I can read it this way, so
I'll use this for now...」
With
that, he selected a certain area of the mysterious symbol and copied it. When
he pastes it into a text editor, he changes the font to MS Gothic.
Then,
miscellaneous exchanges in Japanese appeared in the text editor. The contents
are various, and seem to be mostly about the sale of illegal drugs. I find a
few cryptic words that I recognize.
「So, I
will check back, but for now, in yesterday's posts... there it is, I think」
As I
looked at the monitor, Kutaragi-kun turned his head in panic, probably because
my chest hit his shoulder.
What's
written on the monitor, after much complaining about the non-fulfillment of the
contract, is an ultimatum: "if you don't do it today, I'll tell the police
everything".
The
reason why he wrote "Sage" is probably to let us know that his identity is
unknown.
Surprisingly,
it even gives instructions on when to pass this point.
「How about
the crime...?」
I
looked up, and Inomoto-senpai nodded his head.
「The
culprit has a very detailed knowledge of Kobayashi-shi's activities. Besides,
he's a big man, nearly two meters tall」
Kutaragi-kun
tilted his head suspiciously.
「Anyway,
I wonder what it is. The word "Derau" that keeps popping up in the
instructions...」
「...could
be a code word for something, like grape... grape」
The Chief
said gravely, putting his hand on his chin.
