Chapter 3 Murder Preview
It's night.
The bright moon hangs high.
Three sneaky figures came out of the dormitory window. They met in front of the door of the teaching building in the dim moonlight.
"Hey! It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice." The tall girl greeted with a smile.
"Shh!"
Yuan Yuzi lowered her voice and followed her timidly: "Keep your voice down! What if you are discovered?"
Fushimi Shika shined a flashlight on Minamoto Tamako's face and asked, "Didn't you say you didn't ask Kawai?"
This tall girl is Nagano Kawai, a good friend of Minamoto Tamako. The two have had similar interests since high school and are inseparable in daily life.
Gentamako's eyes were pierced by the bright light, she let out a 'yeah', shrank behind Kawai, and defended in a low voice:
"I, I don't dare to sneak out alone."
……
Fushimi Lu looked at her sideways, and he didn't know where to start.
This guy proposed to search Instructor Sakurai's office. He stayed up most of the night and ran over to risk his life to accompany Junzi. Only then did he realize that the twosome had become a threesome.
The more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure. Dormitory administrators and building patrol instructors are not fools. Once a trainee is found to have left the school illegally in the middle of the night, he or she will be given a demerit and a 20-page handwritten review, or he or she will be expelled from the school. The training in a closed police academy is so strict. Personal humiliation and corporal punishment are commonplace.
But now that we have come, it would not be appropriate to ask others to turn around and go back.
The two introduced each other, and Fushimi Shika and Kawai became acquainted. Time was running out, so they entered the teaching building through the window and walked up the stairs to the office one after another.
Fushimi Shika took the lead, Kawai was responsible for cutting off the rear, and Minamoto Tamako was the timidest and only dared to walk in the middle.
Using the light of their mobile phones, the three of them tiptoed to the door of the office on the third floor. Kawai used a hairpin to pry open the door lock.
"My dad is a locksmith." She explained casually.
Fushimi Shikakushin said that I didn’t even ask. You explained it so skillfully that it felt like you were hiding something.
He pushed the door open and entered. Instructor Sakurai's single office was very simple, with only a desk, an office chair, a fax machine and a printer. Documents and files are neatly stacked upright on storage shelves.
Fushimi Shika glanced at it and asked: "Are you sure the anonymous letter is in the office?"
"Very possible."
Gentamako paused and added: "Before, I handed the leave application note to classmate Takagi who was feeling unwell. Through the reflection of the glass at the door, I saw instructor Sakurai reading a piece of paper with a scary expression. After I knocked on the door, she hurriedly Put the piece of paper in the drawer ”
"It sounds suspicious," Kawai said.
While the three of them were communicating verbally, their hands were not idle, and they soon found the piece of paper in the desk drawer.
To be precise, a letter.
The three of them lowered their heads at the same time, put their heads together, and turned on the lights on their mobile phones.
On the pale paper, there were several lines of slanted and hideous handwriting, with dark red strokes that made people hair-raising.
"I know what you did, you murderer"
"Do you think you can sit back and relax by hiding in the police academy?"
"Be prepared, I will make you pay"
……
Fushimi Shika's first reaction was that he couldn't leave fingerprints and had to put it in a plastic bag and take photos for evidence... After a moment, he came to his senses and realized that he had an occupational disease.
I don't know if it was a problem with the light, but Minamoto Tamako and Kawai's faces turned a little pale.
The latter swallowed and asked nervously: "This color...could it be blood?"
"No," Minamoto Tamako took a sniff and said, "It smells like birch oil, a bit like safflower oil tincture. It should be Baile brand red ink."
"You can smell this?" Fushimi Lu was a little surprised. "Tamako was the president of the reasoning department in high school. Don't underestimate her," Kawai praised his best friend and then asked, "What do you think? Is this a prank or a threatening letter?"
"Y-it must be a prank, right?"
Minamoto Tamako was very nervous. The content of the anonymous letter was completely beyond her expectation. She said with some uncertainty: "Instructor Sakurai is still preparing police officers after all, so she will not know the law and break the law. Besides, she is also very serious about her work..."
"No, this is a threatening letter."
Fushimi Shika put the envelope back in its place and whispered: "Besides, the "murderer" the letter writer denounced is probably true. ”
"Eh?" Yuan Yuzi was startled: "How did you reason that out?"
"If it were you, would you swallow your anger when encountering such a prank? According to Instructor Sakurai's temper, why didn't she publicly hold him accountable? Hiding like this and secretly searching for the sender, there is probably something wrong with her."
As a experienced criminal lawyer, he had taken on countless bizarre cases in his previous life, and he had seen countless dark sides of human nature. For this kind of "malicious information" of unknown origin, he can judge whether it is true or false at a glance.
Some people are well-dressed on the outside, but in their hearts they are no different from animals. Even if they kill someone, they will even have to pay for their lawyer's fees. Such people just need to stick their butts out and Fushimi will know what the other person is going to fart.
As soon as he finished speaking, another system prompt popped up in front of him.
"Mission accomplished"

"Congratulations on obtaining Tracking Technique LV1"
"Follow-up tasks have been unlocked"
"Purchasing a murderer: charging a commission to avenge Sakurai Chizuru on behalf of the victim"
"Task reward: skill points*2"
……
Fushimi Shika felt a warm current rush through his spine, so comfortable that his limbs were numb and he had goosebumps all over his body.
Various tracking techniques kept popping up in his mind, as if they had been refined over time, and his body also had muscle memory.
Yuan Yuzi was so nervous that she didn't notice anything strange about him for a while - maybe she noticed it, but didn't notice it - she bit her thumbnail and said in a hurry:
"There is no logical support at all! Is this just your personal speculation? Instructor Sakurai may also have other reasons for not publicly pursuing responsibility, such as worrying about being harmed for his reputation..."
Apparently, she was frightened.
"Don't be nervous!" Chuanhe patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't you always hope to solve the real case? The opportunity is right in front of you, don't back down!"
"Yeah, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a murder case involving a threatening letter."
Fushimi Shika was numb from reading files in his last life. He was studying 'who killed so and so' every day. In his eyes, threatening letters of this level were not as harmful as wiping one's butt with sandpaper.
"Shh!"
Yuan Yuzi suddenly raised a finger.
"It's okay, don't be surprised..."
Before Kawai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fushimi Shika and Minamoto Tamoko at the same time: "Someone is coming."
Ta...
Ta...ta...
In the darkness deep in the corridor, there was a crisp sound of footsteps.
Yuan Yuzi put her hands up to her ears, closed her eyes and listened for a moment, then said with a look of horror:
"Oops, it seems to be Instructor Sakurai! She is almost at the door of the office! If you go out at this time, you will definitely be discovered!"
"How did you hear this?" Fushimi Lu was startled.
"Because she was so light and walked so fast, I remember her footsteps!"
Yuan Yuzi was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead: "What should we do? What should we do! If she finds out, we will definitely be ordered to drop out of school... It's over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a click and the door lock opened.
