Chapter 370: Chapter 261: You Guarantee? (4000 words)

Gangye Yoshiko seemed to have no particular destination in mind as she drove Beichuan Si around the suburbs of Tokyo.

"Beichuan, look at the scenery over there." Gangye Yoshiko said, chewing gum, glancing right briefly, and then exclaiming excitedly.

A vast river flowed by, and at the estuary, a round sun was slowly setting.

Beichuan Si glanced at it briefly then averted his gaze, answering nonchalantly, "Not interested."

"You little rascal!"

Gangye Yoshiko almost reached out to slap Beichuan Si’s expressionless face.

But she was still driving, so naturally, she couldn’t engage in such hazardous driving behavior.

Though she couldn’t physically do anything, Gangye Yoshiko still asked while driving, "By the way, Beichuan, why did you suddenly start asking about Ochasaki High School?"

Ochasaki High School, while not as famous as Kyubei within Tokyo, was still a decent integrated junior and senior high school.

And with someone like Beichuan Si, who seemed to be a harbinger of disaster, Gangye Yoshiko felt that wherever he investigated, trouble would surely follow.

Could it be that case?

Gangye Yoshiko furrowed her brows slightly.

"Didn’t a student from Ochasaki High School recently die in an accident? I suspected something fishy about it, so I wanted to ask."

Beichuan Si flipped through the documents Gangye Yoshiko had organized and printed without looking up.

"The recent incident... Ah... you mean the case with the ceiling fan falling, right?" Gangye Yoshiko quickly recalled the most serious student death incident that had occurred in recent months.

"I was actually at the scene," Gangye Yoshiko eased the car into the parking lot and called out to Beichuan Si to get out.

Holding the folder, Beichuan Si followed Gangye Yoshiko, listening as she continued rambling, "The boy’s neck was completely slit open, he bled excessively, and even his trachea was broken... but when we examined the room at that time, we only found that named Sato..."

She paused, seemingly struggling to remember the name of the deceased boy.

"Sato Taku." Beichuan Si added.

He doubted how accurate Gangye Yoshiko’s memory really was.

After all, she barely even remembered Sato Taku’s name, which really made her seem unreliable.

Gangye Yoshiko didn’t seem to mind, and after thinking for a while, she continued, "We also didn’t find any suspicious individuals on the street surveillance footage, so the investigation is still ongoing... but the chances of a thorough examination are slim."

"But what’s strange is, does that hanging ceiling fan really have that much force? And normally, shouldn’t it fall directly on the head?" Gangye Yoshiko gestured with a chopping motion as if cutting something.

A human body isn’t tofu; it’s not so easy for the blunt blades of a ceiling fan to slice open a neck.

If it were about breaking someone’s neck, the force might suffice, but to slice it open... the sharpness of the fan blades just isn’t enough.

And about the weather.

It’s only April, the temperature is rising, but it’s not particularly noticeable, and most students are still wearing long sleeves and pants.

Running a fan in this kind of cool weather doesn’t seem normal at all—

But even with all these abnormalities, they still couldn’t find a reason.

But since it was Beichuan Si who asked...

Could it be another case of that type?

Gangye Yoshiko couldn’t help but glance at Beichuan Si.

"Pretty much what you think."

"Really?"

Gangye Yoshiko was scratching her head, obviously frustrated but with nowhere to vent.

Typically, such cases always end unresolved, and with current scientific capabilities, it’s still impossible to explain things like gods, ghost stories, or vengeful spirits.

But with Beichuan Si involved—

Gangye Yoshiko couldn’t help but touch the service pistol by her waist.

The muzzle of the revolver was slightly warm.

As if that person was still around...

Gangye Yoshiko and Beichuan Si sat on a bench, with the vast, flowing river in front of them.

In the distance, cars raced across the bridge—

Beichuan Si didn’t conceal anything about Ochasaki High School and also told Gangye Yoshiko about the case of the tired woman.

Hearing all this information made Gangye Yoshiko incredibly astonished, "Can such things really happen?"

Girls who died in torment and pain...

"Yes, that’s why I wanted to ask you about Ochasaki High School."

He picked up another sheet of paper.

Gangye Yoshiko had found comprehensive data, but since Ochasaki High School maintained a strict environment, there were no records of bullying leading to death.

Instead, there were many trivial records like students stealing or drinking.

On this paper, Beichuan Si also saw the name Akisai Ikki, mentioned by Shen Gu Mirai.

Died from a steel pipe that had suddenly shot out from a construction site and pierced her throat...

That incident apparently had a significant impact on society at the time, and the construction party had paid a lot in compensation.

But these details were not important—

Beichuan Si sat on the edge of the bench, just about to continue flipping through when Gangye Yoshiko took the documents from him, turned to a page, and pointed to a past case, "Maybe it’s just intuition, but I feel like the case you are looking for is this one."

"This is...? A kidnapping and missing case?" Beichuan Si scrutinized the words on the document and asked with knitted brows.

"Exactly," Gangye Yoshiko nodded coolly, "It is a kidnapping and missing case, to be precise, it has been closed already, and the perpetrator has been caught... But this was already five years ago."
