This girl’s life had also co to an end.
"Before she committed suicide, she had already used an iron spike hidden in her purse to pierce through Yasui Kaoru’s mouth while he was angrily scolding her."
Gangye Yoshiko gestured with her hands, her voice unceasing, "The long, black iron spike entered through the mouth and exited the back of the head, the massive wound causing Yasui Kaoru to die instantly, leaving no possibility for resuscitation."
But with Gangye Yoshiko’s description alone, Beichuan Si could imagine the bloody scene at the site.
However...
"Did Ruyue Nao commit suicide on her own, without any external help?" Beichuan Si still asked.
"I knew you would ask that." Gangye Yoshiko smiled as she sipped her orange juice, "In fact, after Yasui Kaoru’s death, so residents had already peeked out from their rooms to see what was happening, but upon seeing the horrific state of the deceased... who would dare to approach?"
"The manner of Ruyue Nao’s death was like this..."
Gangye Yoshiko placed the can of orange juice aside and made a gesture with one hand as if gripping an iron spike, and with the other hand as if holding a small hamr.
"While aiming the spike at her own neck, she used the hamr in her other hand to strike down forcefully, ti after ti."
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Under Gangye Yoshiko’s vivid imitation, Beichuan Si seed to see it too.
A girl, covered in Yasui Kaoru’s blood, stood up from a pool of blood, then looked resentfully at the living in this world, repeatedly, harshly driving the spike into her neck.
Accompanied by the cold, crisp sound of the hamr striking the spike, she took her own life.
However — logically speaking, it was impossible for a person to perform such a physiologically contradictory action, even if the first strike was successful, the second and third would not be possible.
The human body isn’t that fragile; a substantial amount of force is required to break open the neck with an iron spike, let alone to pierce through it.
Before that, Ruyue Nao should have suffocated.
"That’s exactly why I thought of contacting you," Gangye Yoshiko finished her juice with a gulp, "An impossible event occurred, yet it did happen, and through such a terrifying, bloody process."
"Indeed... there must be a deeper reason behind this."
Beichuan Si nodded thoughtfully and then started to inquire, "I just reviewed so information and found that Ruyue Nao was once a mber of the Church of Truth and Happiness... Is that what you ant by being related to the Church of Truth and Happiness?"
Yes, Ruyue Nao was a mber of the Church of Truth and Happiness, and the docunts alone reveal a significant connection between her and the Church.
Without even thinking, Gangye Yoshiko imdiately replied, "Exactly, in fact, our investigation revealed that every month there was a sum of unexplained money deposited into Ruyue Nao’s account, which I suspect is related to so remaining mbers of the Church of Truth and Happiness who are still lurking in the shadows, planning sothing."
"Moreover, after that, we even made a special trip to Ruyue Nao’s ho, where we found it full of items like those used in casting spells, curses, and voodoo-like tools. In so areas where she had been grinding things, we even found a small segnt of a human finger bone."
Gangye Yoshiko cleared her throat:
"However, the place where she kept her notebooks was already empty, as if the remnants of the Church of Truth and Happiness got the news and moved them in advance."
"I see," Beichuan Si seed to understand.
No wonder Gangye Yoshiko was eager to seek his help.
For an event that vaguely surpassed ordinary understanding, Gangye Yoshiko knew that Beichuan Si was the only one.
It could be imagined that, with the support of the remnants of the Church of Truth and Happiness, Ruyue Nao was probably conducting research into curse-like arts, but the purpose... was still unclear at the mont.
Thinking thus, Beichuan Si pondered and asked, "I think I understand the situation with Ruyue Nao, but what about the other person? What happened to Ookubo who was playing both sides?"
Yes, what was the current situation of Ookubo, the person involved? And where was he now?
Beichuan Si was curious.
Hearing Beichuan Si’s question, Gangye Yoshiko simply sighed.
"That guy wasn’t deeply involved in the Ruyue Nao murder case, so pursuing his guilt isn’t that easy. As of now... he should be living quietly in an apartnt sowhere in the city."
Then, she revealed a grin as if delighting in disaster.
"However, I heard from a colleague that that guy’s recent days have not been easy. It seems like he’s always living in the shadow of playing both sides, completely skulking around."
This was probably a punishnt for Ookubo.
Those who are unfair in love naturally don’t reap good rewards.
...
Ookubo Hayato was having a tough ti recently.
Really tough.
Every morning when he woke up, he seed to hear Yasui Kaoru’s abruptly ended scream and the cold sound of the hamr striking the spike.
This sound was like a maggot in his bones.
It seed like a shadow he couldn’t shake off.
Clinging closely behind him.
And what troubled Ookubo Hayato most was having to take the elevator to his floor every night after his shift.
You see—
"That guy... that madwoman, she died in the elevator."
Ookubo Hayato gazed at the cold-faced apartnt building.
Even though it was still the peak of sumr, he couldn’t stop shivering.
