"Miss Kasugano?"
"Hello, Sensei Ashino."
Ashino greeted Narusuke Ashino with a smile. Narusuke Ashino scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hello, long time no see, Miss Kasugano...."
"Hey, Ming, who's this beautiful big sister?"
Just as Narusuke Ashino greeted Ashino, two primary school students suddenly jumped out from behind him. The one in the lead was a rather lively looking boy, and beside him was a girl with two ponytails. Needless to say, they were Tatsuno Hiroshi and Inaba Gako from Narusuke Ashino's class.
The two of them were the protagonists in the manga, and even though they were in the fifth grade of primary school, they fell in love with each other.... Well, if they were in China, they would have long been punished for puppy love. But Japan obviously did not care about this kind of problem. In fact, there was a practical basis for the law of marriage at the age of 16 in Japan. Getting married after finishing high school was nothing new in Japan. Of course, considering the fact that Japan would have fewer children in the future, not everyone would like to do so. But at least in Japan, puppy love was not as strictly guarded as it was in China. All they had to do was criticize it.
"Don't tell me you're secretly dating another beauty behind Yuki's back?"
While saying that, Tatsuno Hiroshi poked Narusuke Ashino with a smile, while Inaba Gako shook her head.
"That's impossible. Such a beautiful big sister would never fall for Ming."
"Hey! You two! "
Hearing the students saying bad things about him, Narusuke Sugino also mercilessly slapped the two of them, and then introduced.
"This is Miss Kasugano, Bai Ju's elder sister."
"Ah, Bai Ju's elder sister?"
Hearing Narusuke Ashino's name, the two students looked at Ashino in surprise. Ashino smiled and nodded.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Bai Ju's elder sister, Kasugano. Please take care of me."
"Ah, hello, I'm Inaba Gako."
"I'm Tatsuno Hiroshi...."
The two children returned the greeting obediently. Of course, they knew Bai Ju. They naturally had a deep impression of the cute girl with white hair and red eyes. Although Bai Ju was not a lively person and seldom played with them, everyone knew that Bai Ju seemed to have a certain degree of spiritual power. Of course, in Naruke Sugino's class, this wasn't a flaw, but a goal that everyone pursued.
However, Bai Ju didn't seem to be enthusiastic about it, which made everyone a little disappointed.
Narusuke Katsuno looked at Chi again and asked in surprise.
"Then, Miss Kasugano, what brings you here?"
"I was looking for Miss Honda Ai to ask about the death calls...."
Having said that, Misuzu looked at the phone in Narashino's hand.
"But from the looks of it, you guys are also here for this?"
"Eh? How did you know … "
"Sister Hoshi, are you a Spiritual Ability user as well?"
Hearing Mizumi's words, not only Naruno Naruno, but even Tadano Hiroshi and Inaba Gōko were shocked. However, Mizumi did not answer immediately. Instead, he shook his head.
"It's not nice to talk in front of someone's house. Let's go to a nearby restaurant."
Just like that, the four of them went to a nearby family restaurant. Then, Tadano Hiroshi and Inaba Gōko explained why they were there.
"I have a very good relationship with the big sister in this house, but yesterday, she suddenly received a death call. I was there too...."
"Oh?"
Hearing Inaba Gōko's explanation, Misuzu couldn't help but look at her. Sure enough, the protagonist was the protagonist. In order to investigate this death call, he had spent three to four days going through countless death files, but in the end, the other party actually took the initiative to deliver it to his doorstep.... Comparisons were odious.
"Did you also hear the content of the death call?"
"Hmm.... I think it's the voice of the big sister herself. She was talking about something disturbing. Then, there was a sudden scream, and then.... it was gone."
"What about her?"
"She doesn't seem to care about it, but it's really strange, isn't it? Why is the caller ID showing her own number? Isn't this what Miki said about the death call? If this goes on, the big sister will die tomorrow! "
"Gōko, I told you, it's just a rumor."
Narusuke Tadano seemed to have a different opinion.
"I checked this phone, but I didn't sense any spiritual energy or demonic energy. Maybe it's just a prank."
"Hmm...."
Hearing Narusuke Tadano's rebuttal, Inaba Gōko was obviously very dissatisfied. Then, her eyes lit up and she looked at Misuzu.
"What about you, Big Sister? You're also here to investigate the death call, right? Did you find anything? "
"That's right."
Misuzu nodded. Then, she opened the file bag and took out the death file in her hand. She then explained the results of her investigation to the three of them. Listening to Misuzu's explanation, not only did Inaba Gōko and Tadano Hiroshi turn pale, even Narusuke Tadano's expression became serious.
"So, the death call is real?"
"At least I don't think it's just a coincidence. I also found the dialing record from the phone of the previous victim. If my guess is correct, this lady will die by accident tomorrow. After her death, her phone will randomly choose a person in her address book and call the next death number. "
"So, it's really the work of evil spirits or monsters? Ming? "
The two kids also looked at Narusuke Tadano worriedly. The latter put the seventh plate aside and wiped his mouth with a serious expression.
You've already eaten seven plates of omelet rice. Aren't you stuffed to death?
"But I don't feel anything wrong …."
"Me neither."
"What about the signal tower?"
"You mean the base station? I went to investigate, but I didn't find anything. "
Misuzu shook her head again in response to Inaba Gōko's question. At that moment, Tadano Hiroshi's eyes suddenly lit up. He clapped his hands as if he had discovered something.
"That's right, I know! It must be the work of the company that makes this phone! "
"Huh?"
"That must be it. They must have put some kind of curse on the phone. That's why the death call appeared! Yes, that must be it! "
Tadano Hiroshi crossed his arms and sighed with a "there's only one truth" look. Misuzu looked at him as if he was an idiot. No, he was an idiot.
After all, he had scored zero points 100 times.
"That's impossible."
"Huh? Why? "
"Because the company that makes and sells the phone is my company."
Misuzu stared at Tadano Hiroshi silently.
"I don't remember any curse in the circuit boards and chips I designed."
"Ah.... Ahahahaha...."
Hearing Misuzu's answer, Tadano Hiroshi broke out in a cold sweat. Inaba Gōko hurriedly covered his mouth and smiled apologetically. After all, Misuzu was the one who treated them to lunch. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she shouldn't say such things to the person who treated her.
"Then, Sister Misuzu, you're here to investigate this matter because...."
Inaba Gōko hurriedly changed the topic with a bitter smile. Misuzu didn't care and just shrugged.
"Of course. Once this kind of rumor spreads, it will affect the company's performance and profits. Besides, I'm also a consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department. It's necessary to investigate this to the end."
After the incident at Rikuyama, Misuzu asked the Metropolitan Police Department for the title of consultant. The latter also nodded and agreed. Misuzu was now a non-staff member of the Metropolitan Police Department. But she was very familiar with this. After all, in the world of Detective Conan, Fangzheng also did a similar job.
"I don't have any leads at the moment."
Naruke Tadano was very serious when he was not playing tricks. The problem was that he was more playful than serious.
"If we can find the original source...."
"I've already sent someone to investigate, but this is a big project."
Misuzu shook her head. As she said, it was not easy to trace the source of the death call, but it was not impossible. Since the death call was randomly selected from the contact list, it meant that the other party's phone number should also be in the contact list of other people. Therefore, Misuzu could only use the most ancient and stupid method, which was to read the user's information according to the mobile phone number, then find the victim from the user's data, then investigate the last victim who had contact with the victim through the mobile phone information of the victim. In other words, the victim's name would be in the contact list....
This was a very troublesome and time-consuming task. Misuzu was too lazy to do it herself, so she handed it over to Crimson and Kurosawa Seishi. The two of them were also full of motivation. After all, it was rare for them to do something that an assistant should do.
Although they did not find anything, the two of them agreed to come here again tomorrow to protect the target of the death call. As long as they could ensure that the girl did not die tomorrow, even if the death call was not destroyed, they could at least protect the target from harm.
"If it's possible, please give me your phone number so that we can contact each other tomorrow," Misuzu said to Naruke Tadano as she left the restaurant.
When they left the restaurant, Misuzu said to Naruke Tadano. Then, she saw Naruke Tadano's expression change.
"Hahaha, that.... you mean a mobile phone? That.... that.... as a teacher, I don't really approve of using mobile phones in school.... "
"...."
Misuzu had forgotten that how could a poor guy who had to rely on street food to survive at the end of the month be able to afford a mobile phone and pay for a mobile phone?
"Then, I'll see you here tomorrow."
There was nothing Misuzu could do in the face of such a poor person.
