Ms. Quan, who is male

Izumika Kikida borrowed the phone number alone, and also stated that he was making a multinational phone call, but he promised to finish the matter as soon as possible.

Kunikida agreed exclusively.

But before that, he called to notify his partner who was searching nearby, explaining his current location, and a very informative sentence: "The fourth victim was found."

Huh?

The fourth victim?

Quan blinked and looked at the guy who was lying on the ground.

The man had no breathing, his chest was not undulating at all. His eyes were kept wide open and he would never blink again.

Looking back carefully, when the other party fell down just now, it made a "pong" sound, like the sound of a hard solid falling to the ground, rather than the sound that people with muscles and fat can make.

The other person's body is very stiff and unnatural, and is particularly strange. To describe it, it feels like a model puppet in a clothing store, and no matter how you move it, it will not change. The whole person is like being frozen, but the body is

There is no frost, no chill.

After Kikukida Dubu informed his partner, he lent his cell phone to Izumi who wanted to call, and asked him casually: "Why are you here?"

"I just got home from get off work."

Kunikida Dubu is puzzled: "Have you moved? Also, isn't the cafe you worked in before very far away from here?"

Quan explained that after he encountered a follower and murderer breaking into the house last time, he moved. Because of the injury on his chest, he kept in the hospital for a long time, so he directly asked the cafe owner to resign.

However, after he recovered from the injury, he changed to a new job and now works in the personnel department of a certain company.

Kunikida Dubuya naturally heard of the name of that company, but he didn't know that the company was under the Hong Kong black name. The reason for Izumi's moving was reasonable, so he didn't understand the truth.

Before the detective agency's companions arrived, Kunikida Dubu began to check the body of the man who fell to the ground.

He carefully checked the other party's clothes pocket to see if he could find anything suspicious.

Quan watched him check, but he didn't forget to call Zhongyuan Zhongya, explaining why the phone call was suddenly disconnected.

Because it was a strange number, Izumi also mentioned it and said that she had borrowed Kunikida Dubu's cell phone to call him.

I heard that Izumi is calling him on Kurokida's Dubuk's cell phone, and Nakabara didn't know what to say for a while.

There is no one else in this little devil's physique who always runs into dangerous events. And... Why is there Kurokida from the detective agency everywhere?

It seems reasonable to contact the body that suddenly appeared on the way home of Quan and the detective agency appeared nearby. But...

In the Central Plains, it was inexplicably very unhappy.

"Since you are fine and have nothing to do with you, then go home early." Zhongyuan Nakazu also reminded.

"Yeah, I know. If nothing happens, I'll be dead?" Izumi agreed well, but the man squatted beside Kōkida Dubu and saw how he searched.

"..." Isn't this tone just like when he was talking about something, and I was watching the cartoon with a casual voice, and it was exactly the same? The perfunctory meaning is simply too obvious, right?

The back grooves in the Central Plains also creaked.

I simply don't understand why Quan stayed and dealt with trouble.

Not only him, but also the expression of Kurokida's unique expression that borrowed his mobile phone was a bit hard to describe.

How to say...

When I heard Hitomi call "Mr. Nakaya" opposite, he didn't think about it at all. He contacted the port mafia directly - yes, that's right, the guy who once punched him in the bar bathroom.

He said, why did Quan suddenly have overseas friends who need to contact him?

But I think things will be unpredictable in the future.

When Izumi was followed by the admirer, and then the murderer broke into the house. I heard that this "Mr. Nakaya" appeared in time and rescued him.

Now it seems... these two people have really become friends?

If Kurokida Dubu knows that after the last kidnapping of Mizuno Nagataro, Tanizaki Junichiro sent his grandparents and grandchildren back to the hospital, and the acquaintance who came out to pick them up was Nakahara, I don’t know what his expression would be.

Also, if he knew that these two people were no longer simple friends, but were lovers living together, the expressions on their faces would definitely be even more exciting.

However, in the current view, those are all irrelevant things. What is more important now is the corpse that suddenly fell to the ground.

After a single step of inspection, Kokida found no abnormalities in that person's clothes, and it could even be said to be clean.

There is no key wallet or cell phone, which is exactly the same as the previous three victims.

"Four people have been killed within a week." Kunikida's Dubu's face was not very good.

Quan was curious, so he asked a few questions.

Kunikida Dubu did not hide it. They had not yet figured out the rules of the murderer's attack. If they told Izumi, they could also be prepared for him - although they didn't even know how the murderer committed the crime now.

Kunikida described the whole story in just a few words.

It turned out that yesterday evening, the armed detective agency suddenly received a commission from the military and police to ask them to help investigate the "Frozen Man" incident.

There is such a synonym, mainly because when the three victims were found in different places, they were like this office worker in front of them, and they were as hard as if they were frozen into ice.

The victims were dressed neatly and dressed decently. But when they were searched, they found nothing, and it seemed that they were deliberately "cleaned up" by the murderer.

Although there was nothing in the victims that could prove their identity, the police took some time to investigate their relevant information.

A student who just went to college, a deliveryman at a freight company, and a cashier at a supermarket.

There are men and women, ranging in age from eighteen to forty-seven. These three people don’t know each other, and they don’t seem to have any connection on the surface, whether they are living places or where the bodies are found.

The police investigated the surveillance camera near the place where the body was found and discovered something very strange.

These victims came to the discovery place themselves. At that time, they moved freely, and their physical flexibility and softness were no different from those of normal people.

But when they walked out of the monitoring range, they found a secluded corner, with their hands close to the seam of their pants and their backs against the wall. They were so well-behaved, like primary school students who were punished to stand up - the reason why they discovered this,

It was because the police saw this scene from the dash cam of a nearby taxi.

After that, they did not take any action. They were discovered by passers-by and called the police.

The victim's body stayed at the moment of death, as if the time on his body had been suspended forever.

The police investigation work cannot be carried out smoothly, and even the forensic doctor cannot give the victim's approximate death time based on the status of the body.

Such a strange way of death is undoubtedly something that ordinary people can do.

Helplessly, the police, who couldn't find a place to attack, simply applied and entrusted the armed detective agency to help.

After the armed detective agency took over the incident, it first went to the place where the victim's body was stored.

By touching them, Dazai Osamu initiated a disqualification in the world, and the abilities that had been acting on them disappeared. The corpses were no longer stiff, and they soon showed different degrees of decay and corpse spots.

Dazai Osamu said that this is what their bodies should be after they die.

He also said that the extraordinary abilities acting on the victims are more like "packaging" the moment they die and forcibly putting them on them. Time passes, but it is still reflected in the "packaging"

Under their bodies.

The forensic doctor conducted a smooth examination this time and speculated that their death was the time.

What is terrifying is that these people died earlier than they appeared in the surveillance! In other words, when they walked to a remote corner and "stopped" they had already died!

After listening to Kunikida's unique narrative, Izumi pondered for a moment.

He actually...has always had a question.

"Mr. Kunikida..." Izumi finally decided to speak out.

Kunokida said without looking back: "Hmm?"

"Didn't you notice..." Izumi hesitated and said something that had always felt something was wrong after watching Kunikida from the side.

"What did you find?" Kunikida frowned and looked back at Izumi.

Then he saw Quan stretching out his hand and pointing at the victim's tight collar... No, to be precise, it was the small exposed skin on his neck.

He said in confusion: "Did you find...a purple pattern here?"

Kunikida Dubu was stunned at first, then looked at the place where Izumi pointed, and said strangely: "What? Where? No!"

"..." Quan frowned without a trace.

A sudden light of inspiration appeared in Kunikida Dubu's mind. He reached out and unbuttoned the victim's collar tightly, revealing the skin from his neck to his collarbone - it was clean and there was nothing.

The purple pattern in Izumi's mouth did not exist at all. Although Kunikida Dubu didn't think he was lying or joking, just in case, he still asked cautiously: "Did you read it wrong just now?"

Quan shook his head.

He looked at the purple pattern entrenched on the victim's neck, pursed his lips and said, "It's a purple butterfly, located between the neck and the collarbone..."

He said, his fingers still wiggling in the air, and he made a move to circle the position of the thing for the invisible KUKIDA.

"..." Then why can't he see it, but Quan can see it?

Kunikida looked at Izumi alone in silence, with a very solemn expression.

Quan was very calm, and he had some premonition.

He stood up and walked to a car parked by the roadside.

Today he was wearing a one-shoulder dress, with his neck and collarbone exposed.

Therefore, through the exterior rearview mirror, he could clearly see that, like the victim lying on the ground, there was also a huge, charming purple butterfly entrenched from his neck to his collarbone.
