Back in the car, Shizuku took out the documents happily and began to look through the information inside.

First of all, the victims - like in the movies and novels, there are four victims, two men and two women, two girls, two girls are students from the same school and are good friends. The man is a student from a cram school, and he is also a person he knows.

If it weren't for some reason, this case would probably have been transferred to the police history editing room.

The reason is coincidence.

First, all four people died at the same time on the same day.

Secondly, their death was unexpectedly consistent, and everyone grabbed their hair hard, as if they were trying to pull something.

Finally, the cause of death of the four people was unknown. Of course, the forensic doctor gave a scientific explanation after the dissection. But they were not middle-aged people who were tired from work, nor were they old people who were already weak, but young people who were healthy and lively. The four people died at the same time in the same way at the same time, which is already a problem in itself.

Of course, Shizuku also discovered the difference between reality and novels and movies.

In the novel and movie, one of the victims' relatives is a journalist working in a newspaper, and investigates the matter out of his professional instinct. In the reality of this world, a young policeman in charge of recording the case, who seemed to have heard from the victim's friends that they had seen a strange tape with a woman telling them that they would die in seven days and investigated it.

Well, this is normal. Young people always want to make a big case and make a name for themselves. Moreover, the other party's death is extremely miserable and weird, and it is not impossible for them to try it out if they don't believe in evil.

According to the case records, this policeman was the investigator at the scene of the two victims in this mysterious murder case. The reason why there were two is because in the record, two of the four died in their own homes, while the remaining man and woman died in a car in a remote wilderness.

Of course, the police have not considered that the couple had committed suicide or were attacked, but judging from the scene, the two deceased were both closed and untidy when they found it, and they obviously planned to do something big. And no drug reaction was detected in their bodies.

Not only that, according to police records, when the body was found, the men and women were lying tightly on the car doors on both sides, as if they were trying to break out. This made the police very puzzled, because according to general terms, if the two encountered something terrifying, they should be so scared that they hugged each other. But they did the opposite, as if they wanted to try to stay further away from each other.

It was as if something was coming between them.

Because the expressions of the two were extremely distorted and fearful at that time, most of the police present thought that the two children suddenly died when they were stimulating after being caught medicine. However, after that, the autopsy was performed and showed that there was no effect of the drug, which made the young policeman have the idea of ​​finding out.

So he followed the clues and investigated the other two dead. At the same time, he learned about the rumors about the "weird video tape" from the woman's classmates, and also learned about the four of them who had gone to the Pacific Park in Hakone to stay together.

Originally, we should follow the clues next, but the police suddenly stopped investigating and submitted the entire incident record. Then the case file was transferred to the police history compilation room. After all, such a strange case is their responsibility.

Could it be that the policeman subconsciously felt danger? In this case, he might have lived for a hundred years.

After all, the most common people in horror movies are those idiots who are incompetent and take the initiative to jump into the fire pit.

That is the so-called "no life or death".

But for Shizuku...

"It's time for the Holy Land Tour!"

And unlike the movie, this is the set of midnight bells in reality. You must go over and take a photo as a souvenir! Fortunately, the policeman investigated very seriously. Even the victim found the room number of the villa and cottage where the villa lived in Hakone, which saved Shizuku a lot of effort to recall.

So Shizuku immediately drove to the Pacific Park in Hakone according to the route, then booked the room, and then…………

"Ah, the tape was taken away by the guest."

“……………………………”

When Shizuku heard the answer from the administrator behind the counter, he blinked and looked confused.

Are you teasing me?

She was ready, just like the protagonist in the movie, in this cottage, drinking a drink and kneading melon seeds, watching the cursed videotape, and then answering the harassing call from Sadako. Now you tell me that the belt is gone?

If this is a role-playing haunted house adventure, you will be out now, I say!

“When did you take it?”

"About...a month ago?"

“……………………………”

Speaking of which, after all, the case that came to your hands was the result of the police investigation, the speed and urinary nature of the Japanese bureaucracy...

"Are the guests who took the video tape at that time a man or a woman? Are there any registrations left?"

"this……………"

Obviously, the administrator was hesitant. After all, the owner of the belt came to the door (the excuse Shizuku was lent to his friend by himself, and then they forgot to take it back, so they came to the door). However, as a staff member, he casually revealed that his personal ** might be fired.

"Bang."

Shizuku is naturally not unfamiliar with this situation. She took out a 10,000 yuan bill on the counter without hesitation.

"I'll get the registration book."

So you see, having money can make ghosts beat the mills and do pole dance.

In the registration book, Shizuku quickly found the name Asakawa. The other party's check-in time was a month ago, and it should be the guest in Room 4... It was just because he only wrote his last name, Shizuku was not sure whether Asakawa was a man or a woman.

The movie version is very different from the novel version. In the original work, Asakawa is a man with a wife and children. He is a newspaper reporter and is familiar with Takayama Ryuji. Although Asakawa is still a reporter in the movie version, his identity has been changed to a woman and he has become Takayama Ryuji's ex-wife. Both have a daughter.

Of course, this may be to save money, or it may be because you don’t want to have too many characters, which makes the story rhythm not tight enough. However, it is not obvious that the other party is a man or a woman, because the surname is just scribbled on it, but Shizuku is not helping.

After returning to the rented cabin, she immediately called the police department of the Tuteng Lanzi, hoping that the Metropolitan Police Department could provide her own information.

"You mean, besides those four students, there are others who die?"

"Yes, there should be, please investigate."

"How do you investigate this...you shouldn't have discovered something, is it a curse?"

"It's not a big deal, actually."

While talking, Shizuku smiled and told the plot of "Midnight Bell" to Inu Tong Lanzi. After all, there is no Midnight Bell in this world yet, and she also wanted to find someone to spoil it. What Shizuku didn't expect was that after listening to the story of "curse videotape" told by Shizuku, Inu Tong Lanzi suddenly became serious.

"Really? If this is the case, I will investigate immediately!"

"Uh? Are you so proactive? It's really rare."

Shizuku was quite surprised to hear the answer from the police department of the Too Child Lanzi so quickly. She remembered that the police department of the Too Child was basically lazy to fish all day long, either gambling horses or drinking. It is rare for her to work actively and proactively.

"Of course, don't you understand the harm? If the tape is really like you said, and those who have watched the tape must copy one for others to see within seven days, then things will be troublesome. And they didn't say that they would copy a few video tapes, right? If there are four people watching it, will all four people have to copy a video tape? Or will each person have to copy more than one?"

"I don't know much about this..."

Hearing this, Shizuku scratched her head. She just remembered this urban weirdo more clearly. And originally Shizuku told the story of Inuchi Lanzi, but simply thought it was fun to spoil it. Looking back now, from the police's standpoint, if this curse really came true, then things would be troublesome.

No one wants to die. They will definitely copy the video tape to others for desperately, and then others don’t want to die, and continue to copy it...

Well, this curse seems to be quite troublesome. From a certain perspective, it is much scarier than the Gate of the Yellow Springs.

After all, the Gate of the Yellow Springs is regional, and it is like a proliferating virus, which is infected and spreads...

"I will investigate this matter immediately."

Inutuo Ranko answered with a serious attitude that Shizuku had never seen before, and then hung up the phone. Shizuku yawned boredly, then picked up the phone and called the office. The person who answered the phone was Hinaki Kinhong. Shizuku told her that she was investigating an incident and would not go home tonight. Hinaki Kinhong also expressed her understanding of this.

Then Shizuku opened a bottle of Coke, while drinking and watching the TV show in front of him to pass the time.

She knew that Sadako Yamamura's corpse was in the well below the villa, but Shizuku was too lazy to care about it because Sadako Yamamura's soul and thoughts had been transferred to the video tape. The simplicity in the well was bones, and Shizuku didn't feel any spiritual energy or resentment, so he let it go.

At worst, I will tell the Dog Tong Police Department after that and ask her to send someone to restrain the bones.

"Dingling…………!!”

Just as Shizuku was bored watching TV, the phone ringing suddenly rang again, echoing in the wooden house.

When Shizuku heard the phone ringing, he jumped up excitedly.
Chapter completed!
