Shizuku didn't care or care about how Nono Narusuke planned to use the one hundred thousand yen. To her, a mere one hundred thousand yen was no different than ten or twenty yuan. After she separated from Nono Narusuke, she

We quickly drove to our next destination—Marie Minunuma’s home.

Mari Minazuma lives in a very old apartment. According to the administrator, she has always lived with her two daughters. Mari Minami is also very good to her daughters, but she doesn’t know

Why, they left suddenly.

"suddenly?"

"yes."

While leading Shizuku towards the end of the corridor, the apartment manager whispered.

"I don't know when they disappeared. In short, the mother and daughter suddenly disappeared...Actually..."

Speaking of this, the apartment manager lowered his voice.

"I heard someone say that Ms. Mari-e abused her own children."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, you don't know, Miss. In fact, after that, someone discovered that Minazuma Mari's eldest daughter, Mimiko, died at home. It's really pitiful."

"What about the cause of death? Have the police come to investigate?"

"The police came to investigate, but they said he died of illness or something... Sorry, I don't remember that clearly."

As he spoke, the apartment manager took out the key and opened the door.

"This is it."

Shizuku opened the door and walked in.

Inside is a somewhat narrow apartment room, which is basically an entrance hall + kitchen, and then a living room + bedroom. It is even smaller than the house allocated to the state-owned enterprise back then. However, from the drawings of children posted on the wall

The pictures show the living conditions here in the past.

But for Shizuku, the most important thing is......

"not here."

Feeling the cold aura around her, Shizuku frowned. Her purpose was to find the hiding place of the evil spirit, but the evil spirit didn't seem to be here. But at least she still had some clues, that is

There is indeed a cold aura here, indicating that even if the evil spirit does not regard this place as its own lair, it has stayed here for a while.

"Jingle Bell…………!!"

At this moment, Shizuku's cell phone rang. She opened it, and soon Nono Narusuke's voice came from inside.

"Hello, is this Miss Kasugano?"

"it's me."

"I'm Nu Ye. I talked with people at the orphanage and found out some incredible things."

Speaking of this, Nono Narusuke's tone became serious.

"According to them, Ms. Mari Minazuma may be suspected of abusing her own children."

"Where's the evidence?"

Hearing this, Shizuku's expression did not change, because the manager of the apartment just told him the same thing. But after all, it was just a rumor and there was no actual evidence.

"Her youngest daughter Nanako was often injured, and they were all cuts. Therefore, people from the welfare agency also suspected that Minunuma Mari was abusing her daughter."

"But that's just suspicion."

Shizuku knew that the Japanese government agencies were at the level of being a father-in-law in this regard. Unlike China, the children were their own and could be beaten if they wanted. If the staff of the Japanese government suspected that the parents or caregivers had abused or beaten their children,

It is possible to forcibly cancel the custody rights of the parents over the child and hand the child over to a welfare institution or find someone else to adopt it.

According to Narusuke Nono, Minuma Mari's youngest daughter Nanako has been to the hospital several times for treatment, all due to lacerations caused by sharp objects, so it is normal for both medical staff and staff to have such suspicions.

"No evidence?"

"No, according to them, Mari Minazuma took great care of her two daughters. During their hospitalization, she often took care of them without sleep or food. She doesn't look like someone who would abuse her daughters at all, but..."

"Do you suspect that Mari Minazuma has a mental illness or a dual personality?"

"After all, it is not impossible. Of course, it may also be possessed by evil spirits."

Indeed, as Narusuke Nono said, this possibility is not non-existent. Mari Mizunuma is a single mother, raising two children alone and working to support the family. She is obviously under a lot of mental pressure. If she suffers from this

If she has symptoms such as schizophrenia or dual personality, then her behavior is understandable.

"Then what did Nanako Minuma say?"

"Nanako can't speak."

Nouno Narusuke's voice seemed a little low.

"Perhaps it's because the shock was too great. She is completely silent now. She can't answer anything I ask."

"I see... It's already late today. Let's meet at the hospital tomorrow."

"Hospital?"

"That's right, the hospital where Mari Mizunuma worked during her lifetime, and I heard that Mimiko Mizunuma's autopsy was also done there. I will go to the nearby police station to retrieve the files and records, and then we will meet up at the hospital."

After finishing the instructions, Shizuku put down her phone and stared at the room in front of her.

Indeed, after hearing the information collected by Narusuke Nono, it was easy to suspect that Mari Minazuma was the murderer who abused her children, and also killed her own daughter Mimiko, and then ran away. And the daughter she killed Mimi

The son's resentment formed an evil spirit, and then launched a murderous revenge act.

So is this really the case?

Thinking of this, Shizuku stared at the room in front of her, and then her pupils dilated slightly, and then time began to flow backwards in Shizuku's eyes... Soon, the past scenes emerged.

After a moment, Shizuku closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

"That's it, that's it..."

While saying this, Shizuku turned around and walked out of the room, then closed the door.

This time, she didn't even look back to look at the blurry black shadow in the room.

The next day, when Shizuku came to the hospital, Narusuke Nono was already waiting there.

"You are finally here, Miss Kasugano."

Seeing Shizuku's appearance, Nono Narusuke couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to check Mimiko Minuma's records, but the hospital refuses to agree..."

This is natural. How could you, a primary school teacher, allow you to access patient files at will?

"I did find the death record of Mimiko Minunuma."

Shizuku handed over the file smoothly.

"According to the police's autopsy conclusion, Mimiko Minunuma died of an asthma attack."

"asthma………?"

"Yes, you should know that asthma patients will be very painful when they have an asthma attack. If they don't get timely treatment, it's not surprising that they will die."

"So when she got sick, her mother was not with her... In the end, Mimiko died alone."

Looking at the photos in the file, Narusuke Nono couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, he didn't realize that Shizuku was staring at him with a strange smile.

And when Nono Narusuke raised his head, Shizuku also withdrew her gaze.

"Anyway, judging from the current situation, this family is very likely to be the source of the death call. Now that Mimiko Minunuma is dead and Nanako Minunuma is in the orphanage, the only missing person is Mari Mizunuma. We can only find Mizunuma.

Only by painting the truth can we understand all the truth."

"But her colleagues at the hospital don't know where Minuma Mari has gone..."

Speaking of this, Narusuke Nono seemed to have remembered something.

"By the way, her colleagues once said that Mari Minazuma used to go home in addition to the hospital, and she spent most of her time in the old hospital!"

"Old hospital?"

"Yes, it is abandoned now, but it has not been demolished yet...!"

"Then let's go to the old hospital and have a look."

Shizuku didn't care about Noono Narusuke's words and made a decision quickly.

Soon, the two of them drove to the old Kagami Hospital. As Nono Narusuke had found out, the old hospital had been abandoned and closed. But this was naturally not a problem for Shizuku. She just smashed open the bed.

After sealing the door, the two of them walked into the hospital.

"………………"

"Miss Kasugano, do you feel it?"

"certainly."

Entering the hospital, Nono Narusuke started to ask with a solemn expression. Facing his inquiry, Shizuku nodded slightly. Although there seemed to be nothing strange on the surface, the two of them felt a strange feeling as soon as they entered the hospital.

Weird and cold aura.
