Paine's game

While Echizen Nanjiro was speaking, the phone on his desk rang. So he directly signaled Shinozuka Kaoru and Pan to go out.

"Anyway, it's all in the information, you can read it yourself. Someone will arrange for you to enter the old school building in three days, so you don't have to go through the protective net."

Echizen Nanjiro glanced at Paine with a meaning. Paine knew that this was still the fault left by Kobayashi Shinichi: when he went to the old school building with some people, including Sayuri Inoue, to participate in the courage test, he must have climbed over the protective net.

of.

Pan and Shinozuka Kaoru left the principal's office. Before the door was closed, Pan only heard Nanjiro Echizen say to the other end of the phone: "Well, yes, I have already taken care of that matter..."

"Your haunted house agent here is also Inujiro?"

Paine said to Shinozuka Kaoru, who was flipping through the information.

"Yes, he is also my brother's haunted house agent, so I have received several haunted house commissions through him before, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable. Just because the reward was higher this time, he directly contacted me

The method and information were sold. Hey, forget it, my brother also mentioned that he is famous for being unreliable, but his basic credibility is still guaranteed. If it weren’t for the unknown haunted house agent who might be even more shady, I would have

Replaced him.

Shinozuka Kaoru said angrily.

"What do you think about this commission? Since you are forced to accept this commission, you should also have some thoughts."

"This is very strange."

Paine said, "This Principal Echizen Nanjiro is notoriously greedy and stingy. How could he be willing to offer a reward of three million yen to find a housekeeper? The general entrustment of a haunted house is to reimburse the food and beverage expenses during the period of residence, and the cash is ten thousand yen.

Tens of thousands of yen or hundreds of thousands of yen is pretty good."

"And he also added 10 million yen to each of us. My brother must have never received such a generous commission!"

Shinozuka Kaoru added.

"Perhaps the money was not paid by him at all, but was strongly requested by several other school directors."

"Forget it, there's no need to study that matter."

Paine said: "I see you have read through the information. Do you see any doubts?"

"You should also take a look. 'Gudao' did not do anything wrong by labeling the old Dehong High School building as a haunted house. If I were the school director, I would also directly abandon this land."

Shinozuka Kaoru handed the stack of A4 paper to Paine.

"One month before the fire broke out in the old school building, seven students from Dehong High School died one after another, four boys and three girls."

"The first person to die was a boy. The cause of death was suicide. He stayed to clean the house and hanged himself at the door of the classroom."

"The second person to die was a girl. The cause of death was an accident. She accidentally stepped on a ballpoint pen while going up the stairs and slipped, hitting her head on the sharp corner of the fire door that was not closed tightly."

"The third and fourth people who died were a couple. The cause of death was love suicide. The boy's father was going to be transferred to Tokyo for work. He was unwilling to leave and chose to commit suicide by taking poison on the rooftop with his girlfriend."

"The fifth person who died was a boy. The cause of death was due to illness. The vomit from an epileptic seizure blocked the trachea and he died of suffocation."

"The sixth person to die was a girl. The cause of death was suicide. She jumped from the fifth floor and broke her neck."

"The seventh person who died was a boy. The cause of death was due to illness and sudden death from a heart attack."

Paine raised his eyebrows. Seven students died in a row in a month. It would be too much of a coincidence to say that it was all a coincidence.

"What about the fire?"

"There was nothing written at all, just a news briefing at the time, saying that a fire broke out in the Dehong High School building, but there was no trace of the cause of the accident or subsequent casualty reports."
