In the end, the first exploration of Tartarus was temporarily suspended because of the Mist.
Aili also tried it. The Mist was indeed very strange. Well …. To be honest, it reminded her of some bad memories. After all, Fangzheng still remembered that when he saw the Mist in the Dark Soul World, he would usually either be killed by the boss or be killed by the boss.
Therefore, when Aili saw the Mist now, her heart was pounding. It was like seeing a treasure chest and wanting to poke it first. It had become a psychological trauma.
The exploration of the Shadow Time came to an end. What Aili had to do next was to continue investigating the late-night TV murders.
But Sei Cai could not help much. She had turned into a coffin during the Shadow Time. When Aili asked her about it, Sei Cai said that she did not feel anything. It was as if she blinked her eyes and saw Aili and the others appear again, and nothing happened in between. Under such circumstances, Aili naturally would not take Sei Cai to explore the Shadow Time again. She just asked her to go back and wait for orders.
Although Sei Cai was a little dissatisfied, she could not even enter the Shadow Time, which basically meant that she had no combat power. So, despite her dissatisfaction, Sei Cai had no choice but to obey Aili's order and obediently return to artificial island No. 9 to protect Lozha and the others.
Aili turned around and began to investigate the whole case again.
Although she had obtained the information from the Iwatodai branch and the police station, Aili still trusted her own investigation results more. After all, Fangzheng had not stayed in the world of Detective Conan for so long for nothing.
However, according to Aili's investigation for a day, the three victims seemed to have suffered a heavy blow before their deaths. The TV presenter died because her secret relationship with the artificial island's director was exposed. The latter was already married and had a child. This was an obvious act of a third party, so both parties were affected by the media.
As for the second victim, Konishi Hayaki's situation was a little special. She was the daughter of the owner of a shop on the commercial street on the 12th artificial island. Not long ago, a large supermarket chain similar to Carrefour opened on the 12th artificial island, so the business of the commercial street was also affected.
Therefore, the relationship between the commercial street and the large supermarket had never been good. Under such circumstances, Konishi Haori, who was born in the commercial street, chose to work in a large supermarket, and she seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with the son of the owner of the large supermarket. Therefore, many people accused her of betraying her family and the commercial street. During this period, Konishi Haori was also criticized. Her disappearance was once regarded as her choice to leave home because she could not bear the responsibilities of her family and neighbor.
Strictly speaking, there was no close relationship between the three of them. The only connection between Hayaki Nishi and the female host was that she had been interviewed by the female reporter and appeared on TV, but that was all. The two of them did not have any private dealings, nor did they have any special relationship.
What the hell was going on?
While walking on the commercial street, Aili was also thinking as she flipped through the records in her hand.
The common characteristic of the victims was that they were in the teeth of the storm. Before their deaths, they did not have a harmonious relationship with their neighbors. The female host was disgraced because she was a mistress, the director was disgraced because he kept a mistress, and Konishi Haori was spurned by her family and neighbors because she was a "traitor" … In that case, why didn't they fake it as a suicide? Why did they have to make it look like a serial killer?
Could it be that these three people accidentally wandered into Tartarus? According to Kirito Miki, there were indeed some people who could adapt to the Shadow Time, but most people who could adapt to it did not have any combat power. If they wandered in the Shadow Time, they would only be discovered by the shadows, and their minds would be devoured and turned into the living dead. Otherwise, they would not have ended up like this.
If I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it for the time being. I'll move on to the next step of the investigation first.
With this in mind, Aili walked up the slope in front of her.
According to the information, before the female host and the director died, they had both stayed in the Sky City Hotel … So, her next target would be the Sky City Hotel.
The Sky City Hotel was an old-fashioned hot spring hotel. When Aili walked up the slope and arrived at the entrance of the Sky City Hotel, she saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance. However, they were not guests. Just by looking at the microphones and cameras, one could tell that these guys were reporters.
Speaking of which, the incident on the artificial island was indeed newsworthy.
In the middle of the reporters was a girl with long black hair who looked very much like a Yamato Fuko. She was wearing a pink kimono and looked quite quiet. At this moment, the reporters surrounded her and asked all kinds of questions.
"You're a high school girl, but you're already a hotel owner."
"No, that … I'm just covering for my mother …"
"Kimono looks very sexy!"
"Huh?"
"Yamano seemed to have stayed in the mansion's hotel before she died, right? So did Director Tanaka … Rumor has it that this hot spring hotel is cursed. Is it like this?"
"No, I … That …"
"Ahem."
Aili stepped forward, coughed softly, and looked at the crowd. When the reporters saw her, they were stunned.
"Silver … Witch?"
"Miss Aili? Why are you here …? "
"I'm in charge of the investigation of the serial killings on the 12th artificial island."
Aili glanced at the reporters in front of her.
"You can go now."
"Ah … Yes …"
Sensing Aili's cold gaze, the reporters immediately put away their original attitudes and became as obedient as mice that had seen a cat. They did not dare to provoke the Fourth True Ancestor. Aili had never liked the media. Not only did she dislike the media, she also had the ability to deal with the reporters and media who dared to speak carelessly. At first, there were some blind media and reporters who went against Aili, but after they paid the double price of blood and money, the media finally understood their position and no longer dared to say anything in front of Aili.
Seeing the reporters leave in a hurry, the girl in the kimono who had been surrounded by the reporters breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Aili softly.
"Thank you …"
"You're welcome. I've never liked the media. They're a bunch of idiots who like to make groundless accusations."
Aili waved her hand and took out her license from her bosom.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Xiao Aili, the Magician. I'm here to investigate the serial killings on the 12th artificial island. I know that Yamano and Director Tanaka have stayed in the Sky City Hotel for a while, so I'd like to ask you some details …"
Ai Li didn't get much useful information from the girl named Amashiro Yukiko. According to her, the Yamano streamer came to the hotel after the scandal was exposed. Although Amashiro Yukiko didn't say much, Ai Li could guess that she was trying to avoid being "hunted" by her peers. Amashiro Yukiko's statement also proved Aili's guess. After coming to the Sky City Hotel, Yamano almost never went out. She only stayed in her room. She met Amashiro Yukiko several times. At that time, she was very tired and worried, but there was no sign that her life was in danger.
Even the night before Yamano disappeared, Yukiko and the hotel staff did not notice anything unusual. It was not until the next morning when they went to call Yamano for breakfast that they found she was not in her room. At that time, everyone just thought that Yamano was bored staying in her room and wanted to go out for some fresh air ….
Amashiro Yukiko's answer was basically no different from the testimony collected by the police, and she herself seemed very calm. As for Director Tanaka's situation, Yamashiro Yukiko was not very familiar with it, so she did not provide any valuable information. In the end, Aili did not collect any useful information from the Sky City Hotel and returned without any results.
When they returned to the Iwadai branch, it was 24 o 'clock. Aili entered the Shadow Time and led the team to Tartarus again. Like before, the second floor was still shrouded in fog that showed no signs of dispersing. Aili had no choice but to leave the tower and return to the Iwadai branch before the Shadow Time ended.
Almost not long after they entered the door, the time for the shadows ended. Then, accompanied by the sound of splashing, heavy rain poured down.
Aili looked at the rain outside through the window and frowned slightly.
"I remember the legend of the late-night TV. It seems that the TV that is not turned on on on a rainy night will automatically light up and play a program?"
"That's right."
"Let's take a look then."
Aili sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the dark TV in front of her.
"Let's see if the late-night TV will have any reaction tonight."
Hearing Aili's words, the others also looked at each other, then sat down and quietly stared at the dark TV in front of them.
Time ticked by.
After an unknown amount of time, when most of them were so sleepy that they were about to doze off, the dark TV screen suddenly lit up with a "puff" sound.
"There it is!"
Seeing this scene, Yue Yu and You Jiali, who were about to fall asleep, suddenly cried out. The others also woke up and looked at the TV in front of them. They were sure that the TV was definitely off. It was not turned on at all. But now, the TV screen really lit up ….
At first.
There was only a snowflake on the TV screen, but after a while, the image on the screen gradually became clearer. It was a little like looking at flowers in the fog. Under everyone's gaze, a figure in a kimono appeared on the TV. She seemed to be running away from something, and then ….. she disappeared into the fog.
Then, the image on the screen disappeared again, and the whole TV became dark again.
"That's the late-night TV?"
"Who's the person in there?"
Looking at the image in front of them, everyone immediately started discussing. Aili narrowed her eyes and stared at the TV screen.
For some reason, she felt that the figure in the TV was a little familiar ….
