Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

In the eyes of outsiders, Hina Amano is a genuine Sunshine Girl.

How could that madman serial killer, motivated by sacrificing people to change the weather, possibly overlook such an obvious target?

“I don’t think so,”

Yozora tapped his fingers lightly on the counter, speaking calmly.

“Yukino-san, you are too superficial, limited by the thinking of normal people, and haven't considered things from the perspective of the serial killer.”

Hearing this, Yukino frowned slightly.

“How can a normal person think from the perspective of a madman? Unless they are also a madman.”

“Heh, wouldn’t you know it,”

Yozora seemed to have been waiting for this sentence, immediately replying with a smile.

“It just so happens that I’m not exactly a mentally normal person either.”

Yukino Yukinoshita was speechless.

“Looking at you, why do you seem so proud of it?”

“Ah, a small talent, nothing to mention.”

Yozora waved his hand, then smiled and said.

“Coincidentally, I have a friend who is also not quite mentally sound, and he's very professional when it comes to finding criminals.”

Saying this, Yozora took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

The ringtone only sounded briefly before it was immediately answered.

The familiar, smiling voice of Light Yagami came from the other end.

“Yozora-kun.”

Yozora didn't choose to exchange too many pleasantries but went straight to the point.

“There’s something I need your assistance with.”

Light Yagami on the other end of the phone didn't hesitate at all and replied directly.

“Then tomorrow at nine in the morning, still Kyoto City, let’s meet at that café we went to before.”

“OK, then we’ll talk in detail when we meet tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but ask curiously.

“Who did you call?”

Yozora casually replied: “An acquaintance from Tokyo.”

“Eh?”

Hearing the name Tokyo, both Saki Kawasaki and Yukino Yukinoshita were stunned and said in unison.

“You just said one sentence, and they're willing to come all the way from Tokyo tomorrow morning? That's too…”

Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if something in her heart had been touched.

Just saying that you need assistance, without even clarifying what the matter is, and they agreed to come all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto City tomorrow morning.

To be honest, Yukino was shocked.

Such a relationship…

Could it already be considered the real thing?

“What nonsense are you thinking about?”

Noticing Yukino's thoughtful expression, Yozora seemed to see through her thoughts and deliberately emphasized.

“It’s a guy, not a girl, don’t have those weird ideas.”

“Oh, is that so.”

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's appearance, pretending to be nonchalant while still harboring doubts, Yozora secretly swore in his heart.

Sooner or later, I will let you and your sister Haruno taste my big guy together.

… …

The next day, at nine in the morning.

“Yozora-kun.”

Seeing Yozora enter the door of the café, Light Yagami, who was sitting at a table, immediately stood up and waved with a smile.

“Light.”

Yozora slowly walked over and sat down opposite Light Yagami.

Before he could speak, Light Yagami smiled first.

“Before we talk about serious business, first congratulations on getting first place in the joint exam.”

Hearing this, Yozora didn't show much surprise but chuckled and asked in return.

“Oh, you already knew? You have good connections.”

Light Yagami pushed one of the two cups of coffee in front of him towards Yozora, still with a warm and kind smile on his face.

“Of course, my father is, after all, the Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department. It is said that he may be promoted further in the near future. Even within the private Shuchiin Academy, there are many children of my father's friends. I have been keeping in contact with them recently.”

Yozora nodded noncommittally.

“Making friends… That doesn't seem like your personality.”

“Friends?”

Hearing this word, Light Yagami's smile became even brighter, but his eyes revealed undisguised contempt and disdain.

“How could I possibly become so-called friends with that group of boring guys who only want to gain power?”

“Boys and girls of this age are very foolish. Coupled with my identity as the son of the Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department, with a little guidance, I can obtain a lot of useful information.”

“I'm just using them.”

Yozora didn't make any comments on Light Yagami's approach and went straight to the point.

“The reason I called you here is very simple.”

He looked directly into Light Yagami's eyes and said softly.

“Are you familiar with the Sunshine Doll Killer case?”

Light Yagami nodded.

“Yes, even though I don’t currently have the ability to sanction criminals outside of Tokyo, I do pay attention to some of the more famous ones.”

Immediately afterward, Light Yagami frowned slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.

“Since you also paid attention to this case, does that mean this matter is not just an ordinary serial murder case? Is there… a supernatural element involved?”

“That’s right.”

Yozora nodded slightly, telling Light Yagami about the strange traces left by the Sunshine Doll Killer at the scene, as well as the recent appearance of Sunshine Girls in Kyoto City who can change the weather.

He didn't directly say Hina Amano's name but used the words Sunshine Girl as a substitute, nor did he say that Hina was one of his assistants.

After introducing the basic situation, Yozora picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said lightly.

“It’s still as bad as ever.”

Afterward, he looked at Light Yagami, who was sitting opposite him, looking thoughtful, and smiled and said.

“This time the target is quite special. Although they possess the power of a suspected evil spirit, their style of doing things and their thoughts are completely human criminals.”

“And compared to me, an exorcist, you obviously have more experience dealing with human criminals.”

“What do you think? Do you have any ideas?”

Light Yagami pursed his lips, his slender hands overlapping his fingers, using the back of his hand to support his chin. After thinking for a long time, he slowly replied.

“My father once said that to become an excellent detective, you must be able to think from the perspective of the criminal during the process of handling the case.”

“So, after I put myself in the criminal's perspective, I discovered something very important.”

Saying this, Light Yagami paused, looked directly into Yozora's eyes, and said word by word.

“From the criminal's perspective, the human sacrifice they are performing is effective.”

Yozora nodded slightly, looking unsurprised.

“Yes.”

There was no need to say things too clearly; in fact, both of them could figure this out.

From the perspective of Yozora, Yukino Yukinoshita, Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya, and other insiders, they all know that the reason why the weather in Kyoto City has been frequently clearing up quickly recently is because of the prayers of the Sunshine Girl, Hina Amano.

But what if… from the perspective of the Sunshine Doll Killer?

Every time it rains, he sacrifices a girl in a cruel way.

And then what?

The weather clears up.

This is the perspective of the Sunshine Doll Killer.

In his eyes, the weather can clear up, proving that the human sacrifice he performed really received a response from the gods.

“However…”

Light Yagami narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.

“The accidental coincidence in the weather is not the real reason he committed such a crime. Even if ordinary people have heard of the legend of the Sunshine Girl, it is impossible to kill people just because of the unusual weather during this period.”

Saying this, Light Yagami looked at Yozora and asked.

“Do you have the crime scene photos of the five victims?”

“Yes.”

Yozora took out his phone, opened the album, and handed it over.

On the night he infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department, he naturally collected the crime scene photos that the Metropolitan Police Department had.

File transfer leaves traces.

Therefore, Yozora chose the most simple and unadorned method, which is also the most primitive screenshot method.

Taking a picture of the screen with a phone.

Seeing such a photo, Light Yagami didn't find it funny or ridiculous but looked at Yozora deeply, with a few traces of admiration in his eyes.

If it was just a crime scene photo taken by the Metropolitan Police Department, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain.

After all, although the investigation process is confidential, even Haruno Yukinoshita can use her family's connections to obtain a crime scene photo stored by the Metropolitan Police Department.

But taking a picture of the computer screen directly with a phone is completely different.

This means that Yozora once infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department and retreated safely without alarming anyone.

Light Yagami asked himself and knew that if it were him, he would never be able to do such a thing.

“Also, the autopsy report.”

Yozora also showed Light Yagami the autopsy reports of the five victims recorded in his phone.

Looking at the dozens of case photos taken of the victims' bodies and the crime scene from various angles, as well as the five autopsy reports that were basically the same except for the different victims, Light Yagami fell into deep thought.

“Yozora-kun.”

Light Yagami pointed to the relevant photos and autopsy report of the first case and said with a serious expression.

“Usually, in serial murder cases like this, what should be paid attention to most is the first case committed by the murderer.”

“Committing crimes is also a process that needs to be constantly practiced and improved.”

“The first case will leave the most flaws and expose a lot of information.”

“Especially in this kind of serial murder case with special meaning, the specific way the victim dies, from a certain perspective, reveals the murderer's true heart.”

“And the special thing about this serial murder case is…”
