Chapter 166: Nagata Temple, Ms. Bai

The police use the law as the benchmark for their actions, but it is not only that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are two main reasons why there are so many missing people and there is little real action by the police.

One is pressure from the top.

The new residential area of the 7-chome and 8-chome merger is a priority for the mayor, who hopes to attract more people to settle down. If there is negative news such as frequent disappearances, it will affect his political performance.

Secondly, the police also carried out several close searches at first, but no matter how desperately the police searched, they could not find any clues about the missing person. Gradually, there was a consensus in everyone's hearts that the people who disappeared in 7-chome were basically nowhere to be found.

At this time, there was pressure from the mayor's side, and the police half-pushed and half-gave in to the current situation.

Human life is a number in the eyes of those in power, but it is not such a cold concept for their relatives. More and more relatives of the missing people have united to resist the demonstrations, and the reporters who are worried that they have no place to dig up big news are coming, and they are about to make more and more trouble, and they can't hold it down at all, and they have to say that the mayor has taken a bad move.

Of course, it doesn't matter how the mayor is to the players, at least judging from the current clues, the mayor is also a back-and-on man who lies down and gets shot.

The brave man who sent the sample to the forensic department was invincible, and the results of the forensic examination were not so fast, and it would take at least a few hours to arrive, so the four of them left the police station and headed to the next target.

-- Nagata Temple.

The female NPC named Muyue has always followed the brave invincible, as if she was entangled with him, but An Yizhi didn't plan to say anything about it, he just briefly mentioned the danger of this mission, and saw that the other party didn't plan to get out of the way, so he didn't say anything about it again.

It's still the same sentence, others don't care if they live or die at all, not to mention it's just an NPC.

On the way, he asked about the encounter between the brave invincible and the grass on the plain, and exchanged clues and experiences with each other.

Dolls of the same style, a total of four......

An pinched the corners of his sore eyes with one finger, and thought silently:

I always feel that whether it is the number or the pattern of appearance, the existence of these 4 dolls is not accidental.

The number corresponds to the number of players, and until they get out of their respective side quests, the dolls don't come in handy. It is likely that these four dolls are things that can only be used later.

In terms of attributes, they are all ornamental grades, but the description says that the dolls that took a lot of effort to make have a special use.

Who makes it, and what is it for? This is not known.

Everyone walked to Nagata Temple, an ancient temple that has existed for at least a few hundred years, and it is very well preserved, presumably because the leaders of each era have a good relationship with each other.

However, there are no monks in the temple today, and the impact of modernization has led to the inevitable decline of traditional culture such as the temple, and it has become a tourist area and a place for nearby residents to live.

Inside the temple, you can see many children playing and playing.

"Brother An, Muyue said that Nagata Temple is a children's welfare home for homeless street children. She also has a dojo that teaches self-defense techniques to the residents of the neighborhood, and the person who manages the temple is called Yamamoto Hakuko, who is very famous in the neighborhood and is called Hakusama."

glanced back at Mu Yue, but she shrank behind the brave invincible like a frightened rabbit.

I shouldn't be that scary, right? Why do they all look at me like a monster?

At this time, Lin Linglin seemed to hear something, she walked to the children talking on the other side, and heard them say:

"Don't go near the 7-chome, you'll be taken away by Lord Salas"

Lord Salas, this keyword caught Lin Linglin's attention, she asked the child who was chatting just now about the source of the words, the child didn't have much thought, and simply told her that it was the abbot Yamamoto Hakuko who had mentioned several times that 'don't go to the seven-chome, please tell your friends at school if you can't do it'

Turning around and telling Ann Yizhi and the others what he heard, this made him even more convinced that Nagata Temple had clues, and even knew the conclusion of the truth.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Just thinking about this, a woman walked out of the Buddhist hall.

She was about 30 years old, wearing a gray-white monk's robe, although it did not affect her maturity and flamboyance, but there was a depressed look between her eyebrows.

This person should be Yamamoto Shirako.

"Hello, Ms. Bai, we have something we want to talk to you about"

Yamamoto Hakuko was stunned for a moment, and then saw An Yi pointing to the two people behind him who were wearing police uniforms, Lili Yuan Shangcao and the brave invincible, probably treating them as policemen, and did not refuse.

"Please come in, please forgive me for living in a small place"

Yamamoto Hakuko brought a few people into the living room and said with some restraint:

"I went to make tea, it was rude"

"No, no, no, we are the ones who are still bothering us in our busy schedules."

muttering these unnutritious words, the moment Yamamoto Shirako left the room, An Yizhi immediately jumped up and looked around.

There are a number of photos on the wall opposite the reception room, most of which are photos of the abbot Shirako Yamamoto and some children, but one of them is a middle-aged man, at least 20 years older than Yamamoto Shirako.

Turn the frame over and see 'Photo with Uncle Ijin' written on the back.

Uncle Igami...... Is it the Igami clan whose whereabouts of the former mayor are unknown?

It seems that he guessed correctly, and Nagata Temple really knows some information that no one else knows.

- Knock knock

The footsteps of the return sounded, and there was no way to investigate in a short time, so An Yizhi had to sit in his place, pretending that nothing had happened.

"It's just coarse tea, and the hospitality is not good"

Handing out the teacups to everyone, Hakuko Yamamoto sat down and asked:

"Is there anything the police are looking for me?"

What are you going to say...... You can't point to her nose and ask where Hazuki is, right? There were too many things to ask, and An Yizhi thought for a while and said:

"That's the case, Ms. Bai, I want to ask you what you think about the recent disappearances that have occurred in 7-chome"

Hearing An Yizhi's question, Yamamoto Hakuko's face suddenly turned pale, and the fear that anyone could see emerged, and his voice trembled and said:

"How, what do you think? Iโ€”I'm just a manager of a temple, a head of a temple."

Problematic!

Shaken so much, there must be something to hide.

"Then let's change the topic, why did you say to the children not to go near the 7-chome"

"That'sใ€That's because a lot of people have been missing in Shichi-chome recently, and I'm worried about the children'......"

Kicking the ball, kicking the topic back again.

"Besides, what are you police going to do if you police don't investigate the case and ask me for it? Doubt I did it? โ€

"No, I suspect it was Lord Salas who did it."

Hearing this name, Yamamoto Hakuko's pupils began to dilate, and she stopped breathing for a while, and it didn't take until a while to recover, gasping for breath, obviously this name had caused her great fright, otherwise there would not be this kind of performance.

"Can you tell me what it means?"

"No, I don't know, I heard legends when I was a child, that's all, that's all......"

Listen to a legend to be scared like this?

Ann felt like she was insulting her IQ......

"Let's be honest"

Changing to a more comfortable sitting position, kneeling is too torturous:

"A week ago, a girl named Hazuki disappeared, and we were entrusted by her parents to find her, and the clues we found during this period all pointed to ......"

Seeing that Yamamoto Baizi was so frightened, An Yizhi decided to change his wording:

"Monsters, normal people don't usually believe this, but my girlfriend and I were once at the scene of Hazuki's disappearance, and the person disappeared after a little look away, which made me have to believe that there is something supernatural here. Eventually, based on a series of clues and guidance, we found out about you, and I think Nagata Temple, which was built when the village existed, should know that there are clues about that monster, right? โ€

"No...... I ......"

His eyes wandered, his tongue was knotted, and he knew that he was looking for an excuse to shirk, just as An Yizhi was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue the interrogation, a woman's voice came from outside the door:

"Is anyone there, please?"

Yamamoto Baizi was pardoned, and quickly got up to confess, without waiting for An Yizhi and others to respond.

"Tsk, almost"

Smacking his lips, Ann said regretfully.

"It looks like there's something wrong with the hostess, it feels like she knows the truth, but she doesn't want to say it"

Away from the grass on the side of the road.

"Don't want to say? Even if you use illegal means, you have to make her say."

Anyway, it's just a game, and An Yizhi, who tortured to extract a confession or something, said that there was no psychological pressure.

When Muyue heard his words, she was even more convinced that he was a dangerous person, and almost shrunk her body behind the invincible brave.

Ann Yizhi didn't bother to talk to her, and it was impossible to explain the player's worldview to the NPC, because they were a species of two worlds.

But......

After thinking about it, he realized that Yamamoto Hakuko's departure was not necessarily a bad thing, and seeing her performance, she didn't dare to come back in a short time, maybe he could take advantage of this time to investigate.

"Lingling come with me, brave man, you two are waiting here, if the host lady comes back, help me delay a little time"

"What do you want to do?"

An Yi pointed to the door on the other side of the reception room and said:

"I want to search and see what she's trying to hide"

In a huge temple, if the 'Lord Salas' really had something to do with them, it was impossible for these records to be passed down only by word of mouth, and most of them were recorded in books or something.

Together with Lin Linglin, I entered the door on the other side of the reception room, which seemed to be the main hall of the Buddhist temple, that is, the place where the Buddha statue was placed.

The first to catch the eye of the wooden fish and other magic weapons, quietly picked up and looked through the eyes, and found that there were no clues, so they were abandoned by An Yizhi.

Then he saw the carving behind the Buddha statue, the material is marble, the carving is meticulous, and the pattern is a dragon absorbing water. This may be the stone dragon in the nursery rhyme that controls floods.

The carving is protected by a metal fence, and the protection is very tight, only a door that needs to be opened by a key can enter, and a finger can not touch it more than a meter away, but from the naked eye, this stone dragon is also not suspicious, just an old carving, it can be regarded as a cultural relic, but it is not a clue.

Am I guessing wrong?

He flipped through the thread-bound books on the shelves by the wall, all of which were books from the Japanese Buddhist scriptures and the like, and there was no record of the history of the temple that he had hoped to find.

"There's a screen over there, but it's covered with a heavy cloth."

Lin Linglin reminded.

An pointed to the sound and saw that there was indeed a screen, which was covered with a thick gray flannel cloth, and placed in the dark part of the main hall, and he really didn't notice it if he didn't pay attention to it.

The two walked over, the closer they were, the more An Yizhi could feel that there was important information in the screen, and it was just a premonition that was groundless, but An Yizhi's hunch was always accurate.
