Accidental Death

Xiongying High School, the principal's office.

"So that's it. Did Ayatsuji-kun solve this case?" the current teacher of Xiongying High School, professional hero Mike, looked at the news on the webpage and sighed.

I don't know whether it was the chain effect brought about by the 420 incident, or the halo of Ayatsuji Xingren was too dazzling. After the incident, the search rate of the name "Ayatsuji Xingren" rose rapidly and successfully became a hot topic.

"Although I haven't met a few times, this junior is really amazing. No one who was in the same class as him back then can be compared."

The principal Nezu who was sitting at the desk took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Ayatsuji-kun is indeed an excellent student."

After all, he looked at the person sitting on the sofa wearing a suit: "Then, All Might, why did you mention Ayatsuji-kun?"

The NO.1 professional hero, All Might.

As the most popular professional hero, almost everyone knows his name.If you ask people "Do you know All Might", they will probably be laughed at.

But the posture of the person sitting on the sofa now is completely different from the burly hero in the public image.

—He is too thin.

Yes, skinny.

It's hard to imagine that word being applied to All Might, but it's true.

Five years ago, when he was fighting against the leader of the anti-social organization "All For One", All Might was accidentally attacked by the opponent and suffered incurable injuries.As a result, there are only three hours a day to maintain the original posture and strength.

All Might came here today to discuss matters related to teaching at Xiongying High School with the principal, but before that, he mentioned Ayatsuji Koichi.

After a moment of silence, All Might raised his head: "Mr. Nezu, I would like to recommend Ayatsuji-kun to work for Xiongying."

"Eh!?!!" Without waiting for the principal to reply, Mike called out first.

His personality has something to do with his voice, and this exclamation was so shocking that people's eardrums were about to burst.

No wonder he was so shocked, the fact that a homicide detective was invited to teach at a high school was unbelievable.

Principal Nezu was also a little surprised, but he still asked, "What's the reason?"

"I haven't found a teacher for the new investigative course of the next Hero Department. I don't think anyone is more suitable than Ayatsuji-kun." All Might clasped his fingers and pressed his thumbs together.

He knew that such a request would be difficult to be accepted, so he was a little apprehensive.

Mike stretched out his hand: "Wait, even if Ayatsuji-kun is very powerful, let him come to Xiongying... And even if this side allows it, the Supernatural Secret Service Division won't agree?"

Ayatsuji pedestrians are too dangerous, even if he understands that this danger will not harm innocent people, the government officials will not let him go easily.

"There is indeed no one more suitable than him," Principal Nezu nodded.

This he recognized.

As the alma mater of No.1 hero All Might, Xiongying High School is a prestigious high school that cultivates professional heroes. It is top-notch in terms of financial resources and teaching conditions. Nearly one-third of the teachers in the school are professional heroes.But even so, it is difficult to find someone who is better than Ayatsuji pedestrian in "reconnaissance".

——After all, the latter's ability is recognized even by the Imperial Household Agency.It was also for this reason that the Ability and Secret Service Section put the eradication plan on hold again and again.

"Then..." All Might looked up at Nezu.

"All Might, is it because of five years ago that you suggested that?"

All Might was startled, and then said: "Yes."

"Although Ayatsuji-kun's ability is dangerous, it is actually controllable," he seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, "and I haven't thanked Ayatsuji after that incident, so..."

"Yes. If the Supernatural Secret Service Division and Ayatsuji-kun himself agree, I will invite him," Principal Nezu replied.

All Might instantly cheered up: "I'll talk to the people over there in a while—I have another matter this time."

"Recently, an organization called the Enemy League has become active in Tokyo, and there are already no less than ten personality holders within the organization. And they seem to be involved with the gang in Ikebukuro."

"Ah, I've heard about it too. The current person in charge of this matter should be Chaobao Niuwang. He seems to be very troubled."

detective agency.

This is a house decorated in a somewhat retro style.The air in the room was a little stale, with a suffocating warmth.

The tables and chairs placed in the house are made of wood, and the tall bookcases are neatly filled with all kinds of books.There is also a pot of green potted plants by the window.

Two cats—a black cat and a Sanhua, nestled lazily on a cushion in a corner of the room, squinting their eyes for a nap.

A blond young man in a light-colored woolen sweater sat on a caramel-colored wicker chair, holding an open book in his hand.

When the next page was turned, the detective's gaze rested on the third line.

——It is obviously a book about social psychology, but I don’t know why it suddenly quoted "Ancient Matters".

As if thinking of something unpleasant, Ayatsuji pedestrian closed the book with an unhappy expression, and threw it on the table casually.

Mizuki Tsujimura, who was writing the report on the side, seemed to have received some signal: "Mr. Ayatsuji, now you should report to me what happened yesterday, right?"

The secret agent walked up to the detective in three steps and two steps, and patted the report in her hand on the table: "Please explain in detail how you determined the enemy's identity and hiding place."

Although the main job is to monitor Ayatsuji pedestrians, it is also part of her task to supervise the other party to submit a detailed report on the case.

Ayatsuji pedestrian propped his chin, and said slowly: "What makes you feel that 'as a detective, you must be responsible for explaining the process of reasoning'? Don't you think about such a simple thing yourself?"

"That's why I'm asking you because I couldn't think of it."

"You really have no progress, Tsujimura, aren't you No.1 among the graduates of the police academy? You can't even think of such a simple thing, the police should be done soon, right?" Ayatsuji pedestrians looked up at Tsujimura Mizuki, It doesn't matter.

"Mr. Ayatsuji! Don't forget that you are still under supervision. If you violate the orders of the Supernatural Secret Service Division..."

"—I will be punished, maybe even killed. Is that right?" Ayatsuji pedestrian raised his hands in a gesture of surrender without sincerity, "I see."

"Then please answer my question well," Tsujimura Mizuki said after taking a deep breath.

"In the information given by the police, there are records of the criminals in the 420 case. The traces of the battle in that alley completely match the description of their personalities. And after committing crimes many times, the police also judged that they have changed their location. If it is in Tokyo this time It makes sense to show up."

The hole-like traces in the alley at the scene of the crime should have been left by the enemies who manipulated the steel wires. Other than that, it's hard for anyone else's personality to cause that kind of result.

But there are actually some suspicious things about the prisoner coming to Tokyo.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki wrote while writing: "That's why I'm sure it's the same group of people. Where is the location?" Ayatsuji's pedestrian said at the beginning that she was asked to investigate all small or unsupervised churches-although the final crime occurred is not here. Among them, but indeed, is a church under construction.

As soon as she finished speaking, she exclaimed: "If they hold a black mass, they will definitely choose the church as the location of the crime. Then for safety, they will definitely choose a small church that is easy to be controlled by them as the venue!"

"Although it's only half-baked, it still needs some sense of ritual in order to deceive those followers," Ayatsuji pedestrian folded his hands and said slowly.

——In order to make the "Twenty Faces of Resurrection" more realistic, the prisoner chose the church as the venue.

Tsujimura Shenyue finished writing this line, staring at the words "Twenty Faces" and fell into deep thought.

She graduated from the police academy, so she had naturally heard of the name Twenty Faces.

Although they were criminals, the people who died under his hands were all the heinous ones.

It sounds like—

Tsujimura Fukatsuki raised his head, and the figure of Ayatsuji pedestrian was reflected in his pale eyes.

"As for why I think they are related to the 420 case, there is actually another reason," Ayatsuji said suddenly.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki was puzzled: "Huh?"

The detective lay back on the chair, staring at the slowly turning fan blades above his head: "I received a letter three days ago, which said 'the criminal of the 420 serial murder case is now in Tokyo'."

Saying that, Ayatsuji pedestrian put on his gloves, and slowly took out a black envelope from the drawer.

"Eh??! Letter?" Tsujimura Mizuki stood up frantically, "When did you receive it? Why don't I know?"

Ayatsuji pedestrian pointed to the table in front of him: "I found it here."

"On the table?" Tsujimura Mizuki was finally shocked at this time.

She originally thought that Ayatsuji Xingren got the letter when he went out-although the Supernatural Secret Service said that it would strictly monitor the activities of Ayatsuji Xingren, and even sent snipers to guard outside 24 hours a day, but in fact, if Ayatsuji Xingren wanted to If he wants to go out, no one can keep an eye on him.

But even so, it is impossible for someone to put the letter on the table under such surveillance without anyone noticing.

Tsujimura Fukatsuki muttered to himself, "Who the hell?"

"Who knows? Probably enthusiastic people?" Ayatsuji pedestrian closed his eyes.

Why did the other party do this?Who will benefit from taking over the 420 case yourself?

——Since you don’t know the purpose of the sender, let’s take it one step at a time.

late at night.

The European-style exhibition hall of the museum was deserted.

The dim light shines on the portraits or sculptures on the exhibition stand, adding a bit of mystery to these expensive works of art.

Everything was silent, and the security guard who was standing at the door and responsible for patrolling squinted his eyes and yawned.

The night wind blows.

Behind him, a white card descended from the dome of the main hall.

"The appointed time has come,

The goddess of Satsuki will come to the world.

I visit in the deep white and take the dawn. "
