Jingfeng District A is a certain section of Jingfeng Scenic Area, located on the edge of a forest. From the schematic map of the scenic area, this area looks like a fat earthworm.This can be called a street of farmhouse music. Most of the local residents are doing business with signs of local specialties to earn money from outsiders.

It was late autumn in November when Emiya Kiritsugu came here.There are a lot of idlers from other places, it seems that some kind of force has suppressed the weird incidents that have occurred here one after another.

After booking a temporary room in a hotel, the first thing Emiya Kiritsugu did was to sneak into the place where the victim happened to investigate.

Four are known to have died, two of which were found in the forest, another around the corner behind the bar's back door, and one in his own home.The places don’t have much in common. Except for one of them is a middle-aged man who is already 35, the others are all young people in their early twenties. Their status in society is also different, and there is no connection between families.

Next, he pretended to be an agent and went to the regional autopsy room to check.Those people died in the same way, their internal organs were hollowed out, but apart from the severe depression in the abdomen, there was no damage on their bodies.

For a while, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't determine how these corpses were gutted when they were alive, he left the dissecting room, took off his disguise, paced the streets at night, smoking a cigarette and meditating.Obviously, this kind of method is not something humans can do, and what he is facing this time is not an ordinary character.

There are always many more people going out at night than during the day, and these weak people who are unaware of danger hint at the opportunity of attacking the prey hidden in the dark all the time.

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly turned around and walked into a nearby bar.

Perhaps in this kind of place, he might come across some clues.

The interior of the bar can be described as noisy, two women and one man are stripping on the stage, and the dance floor under the stage is screaming and following people twisting their bodies.Every seat seemed to be full of people, some of them were paralyzed crookedly, Emiya Kiritsugu had a cold face, and found a vacant seat in front of the bar to sit down after crossing the luxurious and wealthy people all the way.

Before he finished smoking the cigarette in his mouth, someone with knowledge came up to strike up a conversation.

"Hey, handsome guy, I haven't seen it before. Is it a foreigner who came here for a tour?" This is a beautiful woman in a wine red dress. How about a drink? I can introduce you to local goodies." She blinked.

Upstairs is a rest room for guests, which requires additional payment.

"Not interested, I'm waiting for someone." Emiya Kiritsugu said flatly.

"Okay." She was a little disappointed that the rare stunner had an owner, but she still pulled out a warm business card from her bra and put it in the hands of this man with an extraordinarily deep charm, "I hope we If you have a chance, you can have a chance to 'talk the world', whether you have something to do or not, you can ask me out."

She left.

Emiya Kiritsugu ordered a glass of wine casually, and put all his mind on observation.There were too many people in the bar, and he was so absorbed that he couldn't see anyone suspicious, everyone seemed to be having fun.

The drunk next to him was pushed away, and a person sat on it.

"What a surprise." Kotomine Kirei said, sweeping the pink business card to the ground.

Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head and looked at him, frowning slightly.He doesn't like meeting people who he knows and has nothing to do with his work at work. There are very few such people in his life, and the guy who suddenly appeared next to him is just one of them.

What's more, their relationship is quite special, except for that rented villa, Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't want to meet this person in other places.

Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head again depressed, staring at the people bouncing passionately on the stage.

Talking to this person is boring, Kotomine Kirei thought, even if you find something to talk about, you won't be able to continue the conversation.He gave up the intention of chatting, put on a serious work posture, and patrolled the opposite direction of Emiya Kiritsugu.Occasionally someone came up to strike up a conversation, but he always refused with a dull and uninterested attitude.

To outsiders, they look a bit like same-sex couples who are at odds. Although their minds are not on each other, they each have almost the same aura-the aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away and being incompatible with other guests.As soon as the bartender was free, he would stand between the two of them, not attracting attention. It would be nice to have some tofu for his eyes. He had seen too many drunks with no temperament at all.

Among the four dead, the one who died at the corner of the back door of the bar was having fun in this bar before his death, and his body was found later.Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the staff passage in the bar where only a corner was exposed, and he didn't see any other doors except there.

At midnight.

A man about 30 years old walked into the staff corridor with a hot woman.In the cold late autumn of November, the woman was wearing a long black dress and a black top hat. This inappropriate but serious attire made her seem to be here to attend a big banquet, rather than casually Come to the bar to play.

Emiya Kiritsugu hesitated for a moment, then followed.Kotomine Kirei followed behind.

Inside the staff passage is a corridor, with rooms used by the staff on both sides, and at the end of the corridor is the back door of the bar.

The pair of wild mandarin ducks were kissing passionately somewhere around the corner, Emiya Kiritsugu took a look, but didn't find anything unusual, and wanted to return to the original position to wait for the prey.Turning around just in time to face Kamikotomine Kirei, he turned sideways and gave way.

Kotomine Kirei also glanced in the direction of the wild mandarin duck, the passionate woman was already hanging on the man's body by all four limbs.

He returns bored.

Just when he thought the night was going to pass like this, someone found a man's body behind the bar.He had been dead for two or three hours, his abdomen was deeply sunken, and there were no wounds on his body.

It was the woman in the long black dress who, judging by the timing, did it not long after they left.Apart from the man's body without organs, there was nothing that could be used as a murder weapon at the scene. Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't figure out what method the woman used to make it like this, and what was the use of doing so.

...a magician?

The man next to him named Kotomine Kirei stared at the corpse without saying a word.Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't figure out his identity, that guy had a necklace of crosses around his neck, but he couldn't conclude that he belonged to the church based on this.

Either way it's a hassle.
