turned around and set his eyes on a wall not far away.

"Search notices…"

   "Name Ogino Jun, gender female, age 10 years old, a fourth-grade student at Yutian Private Elementary School, disappeared for no reason after school on the afternoon of April 6th..."

   "If you know the information, please contact Chiemi Ogino, phone..."

   The text on the white paper was printed out by the computer, and there was a color photo attached underneath. The photo was a teenage girl with a very cute appearance.

   Bai Shuiqiu read the contents of the missing persons notice word by word. At the moment when the last word fell, a line of text appeared before his eyes:

   [Triggering a limited time mission: Investigating the whereabouts of the missing girl Jun Ogino]

   [This task is a time-limited task and needs to be completed within seven days after receiving it. If the task is overdue, it will be regarded as a failure by default, and the reward for successful task is unknown]

  【Please choose whether to accept within 30 seconds: 30...29...

Chapter 13-Ogino Chiemi

   "It finally appeared."

At the moment when the subtitles appeared, Bai Shuiqiu felt relieved.

   The little girl in the photo looks familiar. She appeared at the intersection yesterday and caused the mysterious red shadow of the car accident.

   A fourth-year elementary school girl who disappeared on April 6... It has been almost half a month now.

   So, is this little girl named Jun Ogino dead already? And because it was not a normal death, and the grievances persisted, it turned into an evil spirit and stayed in the world?

   Bai Shuiqiu guessed in his heart, seeing the 30-second countdown to take over the task keep beating, and in a blink of an eye it became a single digit:

  【10…9…】

   In the last five seconds, Bai Shuiqiu finally made the choice to accept the task.

   closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, and began to organize his thoughts.

   This is the first time that Bai Shuiqiu has seen [Limited Time Task]. It specifies the time for the task to be completed. If you don't plan well, it may be difficult to get something in seven days.

   "This contact named Chiemi Ogino, if not surprisingly, Juno Ogino's mother..."

   "It should have been reported to the police after missing for half a month, but a missing person notice was posted. Is it because the police have not found the victim?"

The act of posting missing persons is rare in Japan, because Japan’s urban management regulations are stricter than China’s. If this notice is discovered by community workers, it will be immediately cleaned up, not to mention, it is very likely to receive a large amount of money. Fine. Had it not been desperate, Jun Ogino's family would not have adopted this approach.

To start investigating the history of Jun Ogino’s disappearance, the most direct way must be through the police, but Bai Shuiqiu has no acquaintances in this area. Even if there is, a 15-year-old female high school student ran to the police station to ask such questions. , It is very likely that there will be no response.

   After all, her current name is Bai Shui Qiu, not Edogawa Autumn or Mori Autumn...

   "Try to contact the other party first..."

   Bai Shuiqiu took out his cell phone and dialed the contact number.

   "Beep...beep..."

   No one answered the microphone for a long time. About half a minute later, I heard a "ding" and automatically transferred to the phone message.

   "No one answered?"

   In this case, it’s not necessarily that the other party isn’t next to the phone. It’s more likely that the caller was deliberately not answering because he saw that the call was an unfamiliar number. The phone message can be regarded as a feature that Japan has retained since the landline era. Japanese people do not have the habit of exchanging phone numbers with others casually. The other party can judge the identity of the caller based on the content of the message and decide whether to call back.

Bai Shuiqiu thought silently for a moment, and was about to make up a lie and fool around—since the other party left the number on the missing person notice, he must have received a lot of calls from strangers during this period, as long as he pretends to be an insider to deceive the other party’s trust. In the future, slowly think of ways to talk, it shouldn't be too difficult to do.

"Hey?"

   "Hello...Huh?"

   A somewhat hoarse voice suddenly appeared over the microphone.

   Bai Shuiqiu didn't react for a while.

"Hello? This is Ogino's house, I'm Ogino Chiemi, who are you?" The voice from the microphone came again, with obvious fatigue in his voice, like a person who has not slept for days and nights. Listen Not the slightest vitality.

   Bai Shuiqiu sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly according to what he had just thought:

   "Hello, I am a citizen of Narita City... I saw the missing person notice you posted in Amita Ward. I want to ask about Jun Ogino. This child should be your daughter, right?"

  "..."

   There was silence over the microphone.

Bai Shuiqiu faintly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. It seemed that something like a water cup fell on the ground and broke into pieces, mixed with some inexplicable noises. When the sound appeared again, he became extremely excited: "Hello , I'm sorry, the signal was a bit poor just now... Did you see my daughter? Where is she? How is she now, please tell me!"

"Forehead…"

   Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, and suddenly became a little hesitant when the words came to his lips.

   The other party's tone is too eager, like a traveler who has been walking in the desert for many days when he suddenly sees an oasis. The yearning in his words is beyond words, but Bai Shuiqiu can't bear to deceive her.

   "I'm not so sure... Could you please elaborate on the details of your daughter's disappearance?"

   This question is somewhat suspected of exposing the wounds of others.

   But Chiemi Ogino probably has said it many times on the phone during this time, and after a short period of hesitation, she began to narrate:

"It was after school on the afternoon of April 6. My daughter went to Yutian Private Elementary School. It was not too far away from our rented house. In addition, my work was relatively busy, and I had to work overtime every night. Late, so since the third grade of elementary school, my daughter has been driving home by herself...

   But after I got home from get off work that night, I didn't see Ah Chun. She should have been back at that time. I waited at home for half an hour, and finally couldn’t help calling the teacher at the school. From the teacher I learned that Ah Chun had already left the school after three o’clock. It didn’t make sense that I didn’t get home at that time. I really Don't worry, go out and look for it. "

   Needless to say the following things.

   Ogino Chiemi spent a whole night outside, but did not find her daughter.

   Early the next morning, I went to the police station to report the crime.

   But the police in the Yutian District are probably relatively useless. After a few days of manual investigation, no results were found. Chiemi Ogino was dismissed by the company because of continuous absenteeism.

   Fortunately, I also saved some savings before. With this money as a support, Chiemi Ogino spent all of her energy on finding her daughter, printing out a large number of missing persons notices and posting them on the streets.

   "Isn't there a camera to check the intersection?"

"this…"

   Bai Shuiqiu is still thinking about problems instinctively with his previous life thinking.

   But in fact, many places in Japan do not have cameras.

   Because of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, a lot of monitoring equipment has been installed in recent years, which basically covers most of the entire city. However, in many cities in other counties, the installation rate of cameras is not high. There are even some places where there is no camera, but a sign saying "There is surveillance here" is posted on the telephone pole to hide the ears and ring the bell.

   usually used to scare people is no problem, once someone really commits crimes against the wind, the police will become very passive.

  Ogino Jun’s disappearance was the case, because on her way home, nearly one-third of the way was not monitored, and when the investigation was conducted there, the clues were cut off.

   "Then you usually...have you ever had any enemies with anyone, or has something in your family coveted by others, so that you kidnap your daughter?

Chapter 14 Last Line

   This question is actually a bit too deep.

But Chiemi Ogino didn't realize it, and subconsciously replied: "It shouldn't be...My daughter is still in elementary school, and she doesn't have much contact with people in society. I rarely quarrel with neighbors or colleagues, even if there is a small conflict. It is impossible to rise to the point of kidnapping... You say that, did you get any... news?"

   After speaking, the woman began to feel that something was wrong.

   Bai Shuiqiu said vaguely: "There is a little clue, but it's still a bit uncertain... I need to check it carefully before I call you back, okay?"

   "It doesn't matter if it's not, I feel very happy if you are willing to help...Thank you."

  Ogino Chiemi originally wanted to keep on asking, but she probably heard Bai Shuiqiu's perfunctory meaning, and finally sighed. After thanking her, she didn't speak again, and she didn't hang up the phone for a long time.

   Bai Shuiqiu ended the call, rubbed his temples, stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, turned and left.

   Go back to Tenme Shrine.

   In accordance with the usual practice, he changed into the witch costume and greeted several guests who had gone up the mountain to ask for a sign. When the sun went down, Bai Shuiqiu returned to his bedroom and started searching on the Internet with his mobile phone.

   spent a lot of effort, but got very little useful information.

   Jun Ogino’s disappearance happened half a month ago. Although the case was filed at the police station, due to the lack of witnesses and the absence of cameras at the relevant intersection, there was basically no investigation result. There are some related reports, and several local media in Narita City have also released several dynamics about the "Yuta District Young Goddess Hidden Incident", but they are basically just a retelling of the case, and there are not many clues. .

   But at least... the approximate location of the disappearance can still be determined.

From the Amita Private Elementary School, where Jun Ogino studied, to the residential area rented by Ogino’s family, the straight-line distance is about seven or eight kilometers. The first half of them need to be taken by tram, and only the last two kilometers are used to walk. According to the police station’s inquiries from the driver of the tram line, On the day that Jun Ogino went missing, he did take this tram, so the place where the accident happened was the last section of the road.

But the problem is that there are several residential areas in this block, and the population is very mixed, from ordinary livestock to squatting at home, from all walks of life, and without surveillance video as evidence, the police can’t interrogate door to door. .

   In this way, the disappearance case becomes a headless case.

   Bai Shuiqiu downloaded the collected information and sorted it out from beginning to end, but didn't think about where to start. After pondering for a long time, I finally decided to use the dumbest way to go a few more times along the route of Jun Ogino home to see if he could find useful clues.

   The plan was already set at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and Bai Shuiqiu hurriedly washed up, took off his clothes and went to bed.

   The next day, I got up early again and went to school to participate in the training of the archery club.

Li Jian Sanae was still wearing that physical training suit, just like yesterday, accompany Bai Shuiqiu to jogging behind the army, which made Bai Shuiqiu a little embarrassed: "Li Jian-senpai, you don’t have to stay behind to accompany me. ."

Kurijian Sanae turned her face to look at it, and pursed her lips with a slight smile: "Well, it's actually not taking care of you specifically. I'll go to the gymnastics club for morning classes later. Now I have to save some energy. On the contrary, it is. Classmate Baishui, you were very tired from running yesterday, but you can still hold on to it today. This perseverance is really commendable."

   "No, no, it's just being infected by the school sister."

   Bai Shuiqiu also smiled. Anyway, she was once a boy, and she still has some perseverance.

   More than ten minutes later, the two of them ran five laps around the playground, returned to the shower room of the Kyudo Club to wash them, and were ready to go back to class.

   Incidentally, Bai Shuiqiu, after the psychological construction of the previous two days, is ready to have a bath with Kurimi Sanae. Unfortunately, Kuri Jian-senpai did not seem to have the intention of sending this invitation again, which made her feel a little disappointed.

   is the end of another boring day.

After school, Bai Shuiqiu went to the Kyudo Club to train for more than an hour according to his habit. It was not until about 5:30 in the afternoon that he said hello to Ogata, packed his things and left the school, and took the tram to the Yutian District. After getting off the bus, He walked towards the residential area rented by Jun Ogino's family.

   The address of the residential area was found on the Internet yesterday.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from the station, but there is a small road where you can take a shortcut. Go faster and the time will be doubled. It is only because the location of the small road is relatively remote, and there are no street lights and cameras installed, so you can walk alone. I feel a little flustered when I do.

   Juno Ogino usually goes home and needs to go through this path.

   The buildings on both sides of the road are very sparse, but there are a lot of street trees planted, and there is a public toilet near the center of the road. Bai Shuiqiu walked and looked around until he reached the apartment building of Jun Ogino's house, carefully observed the surrounding scenes, and then turned and walked back.

   "Sure enough... Still nothing found."

   went around for half an hour, let alone find any suspicious signs, not even a few passers-by.

   This situation was expected by Bai Shuiqiu.

  Since even the police did not find any results, she found the whereabouts of Jun Ogino as soon as she came over, which was a bit whimsical.

   So I adjusted my mood, Bai Shuiqiu returned to the platform where he got off just now on the original road, and took the tram home.

   In the next few days, Bai Shuiqiu will come to Yutian District to wander around after school every day, but he still has no gain.

   Facts have proved that the intention of looking for relevant clues by investigating the first scene of the case is simply wishful thinking.

   Bai Shuiqiu was a little discouraged, and at the same time confirmed one thing, that is, he really didn’t have the potential to be a detective...

   But anyway, the expiration date of the limited-time mission has not passed yet, so Bai Shuiqiu didn't plan to just give up like that. He still wandered aimlessly around this block of Yutian District with the idea of ​​trying his luck.

   This way until the sixth day, Bai Shuiqiu walked on this path again as usual, and suddenly felt a bit cold in his back.

I glanced back and saw a man wearing a black jacket and a mask appeared not far behind, his messy hair covered his eyes, and he was carrying a **** schoolbag behind him. The whole person looked gloomy. Look like. Although he lowered his head, his eyes seemed to be staring at Bai Shuiqiu's side.

   To be precise, staring at Bai Shuiqiu's legs in white silk.

   The eyes covered by the hair are gloomy and chilling,

   "Gudong..."

   Bai Shuiqiu swallowed carefully, a little panicked

Chapter 15 Tooth White

   Bai Shuiqiu is still very familiar with his body. A female high school student who has just reached the age of fifteen and has a good appearance and build means to a man who has developed a sexual desire. It is basically obvious. With Bai Shuiqiu's current physical fitness, if this man really wants to do something to her...she might not be able to stop it.

  In my impression, many small Japanese movies are made according to this plot...

   may be a misunderstanding, right? In fact, it's just the residents living nearby, who happened to be on the road with you?

   Bai Shuiqiu twitched the corner of his mouth, comforted himself, and gradually accelerated his steps.

   But at the same time, the black-clothed man behind also accelerated his steps, the low footsteps seemed to show signs of approaching here.

  "White teeth..."

   Bai Shuiqiu's heart was stunned.
