Chapter 1709: Non-existent prisoner

　　 Wednesday, April 26, afternoon.
　　 After having lunch at the Nagbu’s house, after making up for a little loss, Maori drove Enomoto Azusa back to Poirot Cafe, and then returned the taxi.
　　 Today’s business is a loss, not to mention the car rental fee, and the favor of Yumei police officer.
　　 As for good people and good things, that is another matter. ...
　　On the way to the Pachinko shop, Maori accidentally discovered that on the tall building in front, someone was lifting something on the roof to smash it down, and there happened to be a pedestrian below.
　　 "Be careful!" Maori rushed up and threw down the pedestrian.
　　 At the same time, a hollow brick that fell from the sky hit the ground where the pedestrian had just been, and fell in half, and the fragments were scattered.
　　 "Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Maori and the pedestrians were undecided, looked up together and found that there was no one on the building, they were relieved.
　　 Maori got up and pulled up the pedestrian, suddenly a little regretful, why is this a fat man in his thirties? If only it was a beautiful woman with a hot body.
　　 "Thank you, this is Yasataro Sasahmoto." The man said in shock.
　　 Maori proudly reported himself, "Hello, this is Kogoro Maori."
　　Samoto Yasutaro was surprised, "Ah, you are the detective!"
　　 "Yes, how about it, do you want me to protect you?" Maori was very happy, and asked him again.
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro was taken aback, "Protect?"
　　 Maori smiled and said, "Of course, you were down there just now. Obviously, this is an incident of throwing objects against you. Maybe I want to kill you."
"what!"
　　Sasamoto Yasutaro suddenly checked the hollow brick nervously, and found that there was a shadow character written in red paint on it, and he shook his hands in fear and threw the hollow brick away.
　　 Maori quickly asked: "What's the matter?"
　　 Sasa Hontaro said shiveringly: "It's the shadow, it's him, it's the Japanese shadow."
　　Mouri said firmly: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Sasago, if I have Kogoro Moori here, no one can hurt you."
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro barely calmed down, "Yes."
　　 Maori asked, "But who is Rikage?"
　　 "Riying is, no, please wait a moment, I'll make a call."
　　Sasamoto Yasutaro did not speak, and the phone rang suddenly, so he went to the side to make a call, but Mouri leaned forward and still heard clearly.
"Hey, I’m Kamio, Antaro. I stayed with the writer and teacher until late yesterday. I didn’t get home until dawn. I just woke up now. You should be on the way to calculate the time. Could you please bring me a beef bento, please. ."
　　 "Jun, Junzhi, are you alone?"
　　 "Yeah, what's wrong, the voice sounds weird."
　　 "Sunshade, Sunshade appeared!"
　　 "Really?"
　　 "I was attacked and almost died."
"where are you now?"
　　 "Near Mihua Station, I am on my way to the station."
　　 "Okay, then you stay there, I will clean up and find you by myself, thirty minutes, thirty minutes I will be there, you don't go away."
　　 "No, I am waiting for you at the Maori detective office."
　　 "The Mori Detective Agency? The office of the famous detective Kogoro Mori?"
　　 "Yes, he saved me just now, otherwise I must be dead."
　　 "Well, see you at the Maori detective office. Don't talk about that first. When I get there, I will talk together, lest there is any omission."
　　 "Okay, I see."...
　　 About half an hour later, Maori detective agency.
　　Kamio Toshiyuki rushed over, and together with Sasamoto Yasutaro, he told Mori the whole story.
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro said that the name of Nikage Chengichi is Nikage Chengichi, who used to be a partner of their college reasoning research group.
　　 There will be more than a dozen members in the reasoning research, but only four people are particularly active, namely Sasamoto Atsutaro, Kamio Toshiyuki, Nezu Takeshi, and Hikage Chengyi. After graduation, everyone has not seen each other.
　　 However, half a month ago, Kamio Toshiyuki's reasoning magazine received a manuscript of a novel. The manuscript is not signed, but it can be confirmed that it is a Nikkei.
　　 thinks so because of the name and content of the novel.
　　 The name of the novel is "Then Nobody Needs To Exist", and it is in red font. Nikkei Chengichi also had this habit in his college days. Even novels written with a typewriter have always used dazzling red letters on the cover.
　　 Mori couldn't help but interject: "That's why, so, Mr. Sasamoto saw the shadow characters written in red paint on the hollow brick, and he thought it was Mr. Hikage."
　　 "It's more than that." Kamio Toshiyuki said, "The content of the novel "Then Nobody Needs To Exist" is that the protagonist kills his former partners one by one."
　　 "There is nothing in it that can be called reasoning, nor are there any tricks or puzzles. It's just the revenge story of the protagonist who killed three friends in college one by one with old hatred."
　　 "The names of the three people who were killed are Takeshi Nezu, Toshiyuki Kamio, and Yasataro Sasamoto, exactly the same as the names of the three of us."
　　 Maori couldn't help but interject: "Is it a homicide trailer novel?"
　　 "Yes," Kamio Toshiyuki said, "When we received the novel half a month ago, we didn't take it seriously, but the day before yesterday, we finally understood the meaning of this strange novel."
"The body of a man who was stabbed to death by a dagger was found in Mihua Park the night before. The victim was our former member, Takeshi Nezu," said Yasutaro Sasaba. "In the novel sent by Nikage, Takeshi Nezu was in the park at night. Was assassinated and died."
　　 "What!" Maori was taken aback.
　　 "The scene of Antaro's previous attack was also written in the novel," Kamio Toshiyuki said. "Except for the time and place, the killing method is exactly the same. This should not be a coincidence."
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro said scaredly later: "If you were just hit, it would be terrible. It must be dead."
　　 "There are only techniques, but no time and place. We don't know when and what method he plans to attack us." Kamio Toshiyuki said, "This is always asking us to torture us with fear."
　　 Maori asked, "Is there any hatred between you?"
　　Kamio Toshiyuki said: "No, if Hikage is insistent on saying that we have revenge motives for us, then it may be that we have over-accused his novel because of the hatred caused by this incident."
　　 "That's it?" Maori had a toothache.
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro said, "There has been such a thing."
　　 "This kind of setting is no longer feasible now. The killing technique lacks freshness, the storyline has not changed, the emotional investment is too exaggerated, there is no basic sense of reality, etc."
　　 "But this kind of thing is the same for everyone, and Kamio's work has been ridiculed by Hikage."
　　 Kamio Toshiyuki smiled bitterly, "Yes, that's still my self-confidence work."
　　 "What's so interesting about your novel? Knock your head to cleanse your brain. Such a thing is not a story at all."
　　 "Everyone is actually each other"
　　 Maori pondered: "You have graduated for 10 years, right? Why do you want revenge now?"
　　Kamio Toshiyuki said, "We don't understand this either."
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro said, "Speaking of which, we thought he would have died long ago."
　　 Maori confirmed: "Dead?"
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro said: "Hikage suddenly left home three years ago, saying that he was going to camp alone in the mountains~EbookFREE.me~ and never came back."
　　Kamio Toshiyuki said: "So everyone thought he was killed, and we went to his funeral."
　　 "Did someone who was thought to be dead three years ago suddenly embarked on a murder plan of revenge?" Maori said, "The disappearance three years ago was just a cover for murder."
　　 Kamio Toshiyuki said, "I don't know, the police are already investigating this matter."
　　 Sasamoto Yasutaro said, "It seems that the Meguro Police Department is in charge."
　　 "Really?" Maori's eyes lit up. If it was the Megome Police Department, he should be able to participate in the investigation. ...
　　 Kamio Toshiyuki said, "Ah, it's getting late, I'm going back to the magazine."
　　 Maori quickly said, "Let me stay with you? You are also the target."
　　Kamio Toshiyuki gratefully said, "Then I will trouble you."
　　 "No trouble, no trouble." Maori smiled. ...
　　Kamio Toshiyuki's magazine.
　　Samoto Yasutaro asked Mori to read the copy of the novel manuscript sent by Nikage Soichi, while Kamio Toshiyuki sorted the files on the desk.
　　 "Where is this package?"
　　 "Package?"
　　 Mori was taken aback when he heard the sound, then watched Kamio Toshiyuki unpacking the package, and immediately reacted, "Be careful."
　　 "Boom!"
　　Maori was still slow, the package exploded, but the power was not great, it just blackened Kamio Toshiyuki's face.
　　 "Ah!" The explosion shocked everyone in the magazine, and they ran away and escaped.
　　 Mori asked, "Mr. Kamio, are you okay?"
　　 "Okay, it seems." Kamio Toshiyuki was not sure either. ...
　　 After the ambulance took Kamio Toshiyuki away, the Megumi Police Department led a team to the scene. ...
