Accidental Death

"What's the matter, Ms. Tsujimura. Did you get scolded by your boss again today?"

After Tsujimura Fukatsuki pushed open the door of the detective agency, Ayatsuji pedestrian raised his head and looked at the wall clock on the wall: "It's an hour later than usual."

"It's not because of your business." Tsujimura Mizuki walked weakly in front of Ayatsuji pedestrians, took out his mobile phone and put it on the table, and even the tone of questioning he tried to make became less imposing, "Teacher, you did it again without authorization yesterday." Are you out?"

"Well," Ayatsuji pedestrian replied, looking at the mobile phone Tsujimura Fukatsuki brought - it was the one he had left in the coffee shop before.

He originally planned to pick it up again when he had the opportunity, but he didn't expect someone to send it back first, or through the Supernatural Secret Service Division.

This can be interesting.

"It was sent by the police department last night."

Ayatsuji pedestrians understood: "No wonder Ango Sakaguchi scolded you."

The Ministry of the Interior's Supernatural Secret Service Division and the Ministry of Justice's Judiciary Bureau and Police Agency have always been at odds with each other within the government, competing for power and profit.

As a secret organization under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Supernatural Secret Service Division is responsible for handling cases of crimes committed by people with supernatural abilities, but it adopts a different method of handling crimes committed by people with supernatural abilities than ordinary people.

A few years ago, the Ability Secret Service Division even issued a "Permission to Open Ability" to criminal organizations in Yokohama to guarantee their operations to a certain extent-this kind of behavior of only monitoring and not doing anything made many people very angry.

This time, the "extremely dangerous person with supernatural ability" escaped from surveillance and was bumped into by people from the police department, so it must be brought out again to make a big fuss.

"I guess I'll be looking for trouble later on," Tsujimura Fukatsuki said dejectedly.

Yesterday, the people from the Police Department unceremoniously belittled the Supernatural Secret Service Division face to face, and she didn't dare to look at Ango Sakaguchi's face at that time.

And I heard that the person who found out about it was a senior in the police academy—what a shame.

"Relax, your Ability Secret Service Division will not be abolished because of this small mistake," Ayatsuji pedestrian still looked down at the newspaper in his hand, comforting without sincerity, "And you were not here yesterday, Even if the people above are to blame, they can’t blame you.”

"... Teacher, this kind of talk is not suitable for you, the culprit!" Tsujimura Shenyue took a deep breath, and put a stack of reports in front of Ayatsuji pedestrians, "Please write a detailed report of what happened yesterday .”

Seeing that there was no response from Ayatsuji pedestrians, Tsujimura Fukatsuki took a pen resignedly: "Then tell me, I'll write."

Ayatsuji pedestrian clasped his hands on the table: "I went to see All Might yesterday morning."

"If you see All Mighty, it's fine to apply to the higher authorities. This kind of thing will definitely be passed. Also, teacher, you must remember to think about going to Xiongying High School...Then what?"

"Then discussed with him about the reappearance of 'AllForOne'."

"Well, after seeing All Might, we discussed with him that AllForOne will be released again—"

Tsujimura Fukatsuki wrote on the report while retelling, and then suddenly exclaimed after a few seconds: "AFO??!"

She looked at Ayatsuji Xingren in disbelief, as if seeing a ghost: "He, AFO reappeared?? Isn't he already dead?!"

The perpetrator of all kinds of evil is back?

"It's just that someone sent me a letter in his name." Ayatsuji pedestrian handed the previous letter to Tsujimura Fukatsuki, adding, "I showed it to All Might before, and there should be his fingerprints on it."

That being said, he didn't think he could detect anything from the letter.

"You should report this kind of thing immediately!" Tsujimura Mizuki felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Ayatsuji pedestrian said lightly: "Maybe it's just someone's prank."

"...Even if it's a prank, please report it seriously." Tsujimura Fukatsuki looked at the pure black envelope that was exactly the same as the one he had received before, and frowned. "Was it sent by the same person as the previous letter? Who is it?"

Even though the phrase "I'm back" in the letter made people very concerned, she didn't believe that the person who sent the letter would really be an AFO.

AFO has been confirmed dead, and Ayatsuji pedestrian's supernatural ability is absolutely no exception.

— But who would pretend to be an AFO?

Tsujimura Fukatsuki couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.

"Anyway, I will take this letter for inspection later," Tsujimura Fukatsuki put the letter in a sealed bag and looked at Ayatsuji pedestrian again. "Actually, there are other things this time."

"Last night, an intelligence agent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was found dead in a private villa in the suburbs. The Secret Service would like to entrust you to investigate this matter."

The incident took place in a rather remote town.

The town is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the villa under the name of the intelligence agent is on the mountainside more than ten minutes' drive away from the town.

After the continuous rainfall a few days ago, there was a mudslide here. Although the scale was small and no casualties were caused, due to the remote location, the gravel and broken wood on the road have not been cleaned up until now.

Therefore, in order to reach the villa, you need to hike up the mountain.

"The name of the deceased is Igarashi Naoki, 37 years old, male. He divorced his ex-wife five years ago and has a daughter named Igarashi Yoko," Tsujimura Mizuki said as he walked.

"The deceased worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He came here after applying for leave on the 24th. He probably planned to hold a party with his friends in the villa. Then on the night of the 25th, he died in the piano room on the second floor of the villa. The first person who discovered the body was him now. His dating partner Hanazawa Kumi... Ayatsuji-sensei?"

The person walking in front suddenly stopped, Tsujimura Mizuki was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Ayatsuji pedestrian stood in place, looking sideways at the end of a fork not far away.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki followed his gaze, and after crossing the leafy forest path, a simple church stood at the end of the road.

What's wrong with this church?

Ayatsuji Pedestrian was silent, his ocher red eyes did not reveal any emotion, it seemed that he just stopped because of accidental interest.

But for some reason, Tsujimura Fukatsuki felt a chill.

The wind stirred the white clouds overhead, and the dazzling golden sun fell through the branches and leaves of the trees.

"No, it's nothing." After a while, Ayatsuji pedestrians looked away.

—Maybe it’s just an illusion?

"Really?" Tsujimura Shenyue responded strangely, and then pointed to the three-story building not far away, "That should be the villa where the crime happened. After receiving the report in the morning, the police department sent people Come here, you should be inside by now."

It seems that the investigation around the villa has been completed, and no one is there.

After entering the door, there were a few people standing scattered in the hall.

Seeing Ayatsuji pedestrians and Tsujimura Shenyue enter the door, one of them stood up: "It's Ayatsuji-kun! I didn't expect to meet again."

Ayatsuji pedestrian nodded: "Mr. Mori, don't come here without any problems."

"I'm Mumu Shisan from the first investigation department. Are you that famous detective? The higher-ups have already announced that you will come," Police Officer Mumu sighed as he got up to welcome the two people in. "Before, only I've heard the rumors, but I didn't expect you to be so young..."

"Officer Megure, why is Mr. Mori here?" Tsujimura Mitsuki hesitated.

The deceased was an intelligence officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he had a lot of information that the Ministry of Internal Affairs should strictly keep secret from the outside world. Considering that the motive of this incident may be related to the information he possessed, the Ability Secret Service Division specially sent Ayatsuji pedestrians. come over.

——In this case, the fewer outsiders, the better.

"We didn't invite this guy," Police Officer Muguro said "ah" and explained, "He came here to attend the party after being invited by the victim. Since the current evidence is enough to prove that he is not a criminal, please ask him to investigate together. The case is closed. Brother Maori’s case-handling ability is top-notch, and the matter can be resolved faster with him.”

"Is that so," Tsujimura Mizuki felt a little headache.

In order to avoid information leaks, they did not inform the Metropolitan Police Department about the pedestrian Ayatsuji, and it is inevitable that the other party will make such a judgment.

Intelligence from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is one thing, but if Ayatsuji pedestrian's ability is discovered, it is also a big deal.

I hope there will be no surprises in the future.

"How is the investigation of the case going?" Ayatsuji pedestrian asked.

When I first entered the door, the faces of the few people present were not very good-looking.

Speaking of the case, Police Officer Mu Mu's face became serious again. He glanced at the young girl sitting in the corner with tears on her face: "After we arrived here last night, the evidence collection work at the scene went smoothly."

"However, this morning..." He paused, hesitating with some uncertainty, but finally said with difficulty, "The victim 'came alive'."
