Chapter 70 Red Face
About half an hour after Yayoi Amemiya and Hanyu Wenxin left, the bodies in the apartment were finally found.
The two police officers who were originally guarding the door didn't plan to come in to check. At this time, the neighbor next door to Kimura's house came back from walking the dog, and her dog kept barking at Kimura's house after getting off the elevator.
The two police officers realized what had happened and planned to break in, but Qin Wenyu opened the door by himself as soon as the doorbell was pressed.
After that, he was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department with the body.
Yayoi Amemiya and Hanyu Wenxin originally chose to split up.
One person rushed to Mist Mountain to find the film crew to get the original script.
One person went to the playwright, the creator of this old-fashioned "plot kill" script - Mr. Inoue Hirohiko's house, and asked him to rewrite the script himself.
This is also what Hanyu Wenxin asked, because he does appear around the deceased every time, and the murderer in the original script was originally set to be him, and it is very reasonable that ghosts may be by his side.
Hanyu Wenxin himself also wanted to know whether the death of Kimura and others had anything to do with him.
However, Yayoi Amemiya refused.
"Generally speaking, a sudden separation will give ghosts a chance."
She said so.
But Hanyu Wenxin felt that her reason should be more than that.
But since she chose to believe him, Hanyu Wenxin did not continue to insist on splitting up.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Hirohiko Inoue's apartment.
The playwright's address was obtained from the film crew, and it was also the first time that Hanyu Wenxin met him.
He glanced at Yayoi Amemiya, nodded, and rang the doorbell of Hirohiko Inoue's house.
"Crack-"
The door opened.
An elderly woman in an apron looked up at the two of them suspiciously.
"Excuse me, are you..."
"Hello, does Mr. Inoue Hirohiko live here?" Hanyu Wenxin asked.
The elderly woman looked at the two of them, bowed and said, "Please wait a moment."
The door was closed.
In less than a minute, the door was opened again.
"Please come in."
The two nodded, and after changing their shoes, they followed the woman to the study.
There was only one person in the study, a man with his head bowed.
There was a cup of tea on his right hand, and he was looking down at the words in the books spread out on the table.
Although he already knew that someone was visiting, he did not raise his head for the first time, but after carefully reading the current page, he raised his head and asked:
"You are?"
"Mr. Inoue, we are the guest performers in your script "Six Suspects"."
"Six suspects?"
He froze for a moment, looking back and forth between Yayoi Amemiya and Hanyu Wenxin.
Yayoi Amemiya happened to be looking at him too.
Inoue Hirohiko is not a middle-aged man. On the contrary, he is young and handsome, with a well-proportioned body, gentle eyes without aggressiveness, and an overall calm and reserved temperament.
The man even smiled when he noticed Yayoi Amemiya watching him.
Yayoi Amemiya had no expression on her face, but she felt a little strange in her heart.
Also feel a little strange, and Hanyu Wenxin.
His mask... that Noh face named "Smile" seems to want to appear.
It appeared before, regardless of the situation and uncontrollable, why can I feel some shallow "will" of that mask now, and even stop it?
However, now is clearly not the time to look into the matter.
Hanyu Wenxin explained his purpose, and at the same time, the strange feeling in his heart disappeared again.
So Mr. Inoue is so young...
"Murder according to the script?" Inoue Hirohiko's expression was a little surprised, "Sir, three guests have died because of this script?"
"Yes...Although it sounds unbelievable, within today, Kagawa Drama Manager, Miss Sasaki, and Mr. Kimura Hidean have been murdered one after another." Hanyu Wenxin said.
Inoue Hirohiko bowed his head and was silent for a long time.
After a while, he opened the drawer of the desk on the left and rummaged inside.
Yayoi Amemiya's eyes flicked to his hand, his brow moved slightly.
Inoue Hirohiko seemed to sense Yayoi Amemiya's gaze, raised his head and smiled.
Then, he opened the drawer on the right again, and finally took out a manuscript from it.
"The manuscript handed over to the production team is not the original, but the printed copy after finishing. This is the manuscript."
"You write scripts with pen and paper?"
asked Yayoi Amemiya.
"Yes."
Inoue Hirohiko replied.
Yayoi Amemiya nodded, suddenly!
She took something out of her pocket and threw it at Inoue Hirohiko.
Everyone in the study seemed stunned by Yayoi Amemiya's sudden movement.
Hanyu Wenxin didn't even have time to stop it, and watched helplessly as something was thrown into Inoue Hirohiko's arms, and then... it exploded!
"boom"
He widened his eyes. Although the power of the explosion was not too great,...why did she do this?
In an instant, the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the heat wave was pressing.
Inoue Hirohiko's body seemed to be blown away by this small bomb.
Seeing that he was about to hit the bookshelf, however, at the moment when he was about to hit the bookshelf, there was a sudden strange fluctuation in the air...
A living person turned into... a mask in front of the two of them?
"Snapped"
The mask fell to the ground.
The two looked down. Because of the sacrificial banquet, almost everyone had some research on masks.
And this mask, the two also fully know each other.
This is one of Japan's traditional Noh noodles - the old woman.
However... it is completely different from the old woman in normal form. The traditional shape of the old woman should have a yellow and white face, white eyes and black pupils, prominent cheekbones, a sunken face, and the whole face is full of wrinkles.
And this old woman can face, although the modeling details are completely the same, but the color matching is completely different.
It is a blood-red face, with blue eyes and red pupils!
"Crack-"
The mask suddenly split open, and in the blink of an eye, it broke into two halves.
The left and right halves of the mask seemed to have turned into two mocking faces, lying on the ground looking at Yayoi Amemiya and Hanyu Wenxin.
At this moment, Hanyu Wenxin suddenly turned around.
Although he didn't know what Yayoi Amemiya discovered just now, the current situation showed that she was right!
Can face... old woman... bloody old woman can face...
Each mask is unique, and there is also an old woman's neng face holder in the sacrificial banquet, but her neng face is normal, not red-faced and bloody.
Old lady...Each pair of energy faces represents a certain trait of the holder.
The old woman who opened the door just now!
Hanyu Wenxin's reaction was already quick, but there was already no one behind him.
Disappeared... the woman who came to open the door just now.
"The curse of the script is coming to you." Yayoi Amemiya knelt down and picked up the cracked blood-red old woman's noodle.
Hanyu Wenxin nodded, and he also realized.
This script curse, it seems, was aimed at him alone from the very beginning.
"Miss Amamiya, how did you realize that he is not the real Mr. Takehiko Inoue?"
Yayoi Amemiya stood up, looked at the mask that was split in two, and said: "The teacup is on the right hand side, and the handle of the right drawer is also the most worn, but the first reaction of the person just now was to open the left drawer, and there was nothing there. After finding it, he opened the right drawer again."
Hanyu Wenxin frowned: "What if... it's just an accident?"
Yayoi Amemiya walked to the desk, looked down at the manuscript that the masked person just took out, and said, "So, I made sure once."
"People who have been writing with pen and paper for a long time will have a callus on the first joint of the middle finger. He said that he uses pen and paper to create, but whether it is left or right hand, there is no trace of the first joint of his middle finger."
Hanyu Wenxin glanced at Yayoi Amemiya's pocket with a strange expression: "So...so, you just use a bomb to blow him up? What if the manuscript is blown up..."
"It can be easily destroyed, which means there is nothing wrong with it." Yayoi Amemiya stopped flipping through the manuscript and took out a pen from the drawer. "Also, I controlled the dosage."
After speaking, she began to write on the manuscript.
Is it easy... Anyway, it's a bomb...
I heard that she is a doctor of medicine. Although Hanyu Wenxin can understand that she must have researched medicine, gunpowder...or explosives...would be a little too much.
"All right."
Yayoi Amemiya puts down his pen and wipes his hands.
She looked at Hanyu Wenxin: "What about you, do you have any idea who is going to kill you? When we knocked on the door for the first time, she should be the only one in the apartment. It took her nearly a minute to transform a mask into A young man."
"This is not what humans should have." Yayoi Amemiya looked at Hanyu Wenxin thoughtfully.
Hanyu Wenxin shook his head, his long hair smelled of gunpowder: "I don't know, but since she has such a strange ability, why doesn't she just transform into Mr. Inoue's original appearance?"
"Maybe she hasn't met Hirohiko Inoue," both of them knew that this guess was unlikely, Yayoi Amemiya said again, "Maybe, she couldn't, or didn't dare to use this 'power' too much."
Having said that, Yayoi Amemiya seems to have lost interest.
"Hirohiko Inoue may have been killed. I don't understand why she appeared here. What is she looking for? This manuscript?"
"Cough, cough..." Hanyu Wenxin coughed, and took something from the bookshelf where the smoke had just cleared, "I think it's this."
He handed the courier slip in his hand to Yayoi Amemiya.
"Kanagawa Prefecture...Kamakura City..." Yayoi Amemiya read the text.
Her eyes were focused on the courier slip.
Everything is clear.
Someone knew that Hanyu Wenxin would participate in the filming of this show, and sent a cursed manuscript to the playwright of the show in advance, Mr. Inoue Hirohiko, in an attempt to kill Hanyu Wenxin with a curse.
The woman just now came to recover the only evidence, the delivery note.
"Can use a mask to transform into a human form... Who is it that wants to kill me..." Hanyu Wenxin murmured, "And, why not kill me directly, but use a curse?"
"Don't know," Yayoi Amemiya stepped out of the apartment, "but the curse is gone."
"How can Miss Yugong confirm that the curse has disappeared?"
Yayoi Amemiya pointed to the desk: "I tore up the manuscript that was not destroyed by the explosion after modifying the plot just now."
Hanyu Wenxin really wanted to praise her, but at the moment his own affairs were also a headache, who on earth would go to such lengths to kill him? Even at the expense of involving so many innocent people.
In other words... since there is such a script, why not be the first to kill me?
Hanyu Wenxin thought so.
The two left Hirohiko Inoue's apartment and were about to leave when they suddenly received a call on Yayoi Amemiya's cell phone.
Yayoi Amemiya glanced at the number, then at Hanyu Wenxin who turned his head and looked over, and pressed answer.
"Heyβ¦β¦"
"I'm Qin Wenyu."
"Can you come to the Metropolitan Police Department..."
"Take me."
