Chapter 76 The Birth of the Monster"You...you said you killed Mizutani Shinichi?" The figure was stunned. He didn't expect to find A so easily. He felt a little disillusioned for a moment. "……Correct." The high school student knew that he had no choice after saying this, so he resigned himself to explaining. "Two of my classmates were killed by him, just half a year ago." Well... the sense of justice also fits. The figure nodded and asked, "So, you want to avenge them?" "...No, it's not." Unexpectedly, the high school student shook his head. "I'm just doing it for myself."
He said, "My name is Yamazaki Rin, and I'm a sophomore at Minzhi Middle School." "My two friends are called Si Fangyan and Yamada Zhen. They are classmates of mine." "They all died half a year ago... one died of electric shock, and the other died from falling from a building." Yamazaki whispered, "Although I feel sorry for their death, I don't think too much about it... After all, we have only known each other for a short time, so we are just acquaintances, and our relationship is limited to the school." "The police investigation said it was an accident, so I believed it was an accident. After attending their funeral, my feelings towards them gradually faded." "But... just half a month ago, I received a call..." He looked at his phone: "That's the person who texted me." The figure asked, "What does his voice sound like? Does it have the accent of an underdeveloped child?" "No, it's a slightly hoarse male voice of about 20 years old." The figure couldn't believe it. Wasn’t it Su Beixun who called? According to Su Beixun's personality, he would not deliberately disguise his voice. Moreover, he should have been in Tokyo half a month ago. “It’s really not that simple.” The figure murmured, and then asked, "What did you say on the phone?" "The person on the phone said...my classmates were killed by Shinichi Mizutani because he didn't want his affairs to be exposed after he blackmailed them." "He also told me in detail that Shinichi Mizutani blackmailed people by putting envelopes into mailboxes." The figure asked, "Why did he tell you?" Yamazaki leaned against the wall bitterly: "Because... I also put an envelope in the mailbox. Because it was rumored to be magical in school, out of curiosity, the three of us went together." "What did you write on it?"
"I transferred here in my second year of high school... It says that I got sick because I slept with someone in my previous school and she deliberately concealed the truth..." The figure nodded in realization: "I see... You are worried that you will be blackmailed and killed, so you strike first." Yamazaki was silent for a moment, as if to defend himself: "I don't want to be like this..." "In fact, ever since I received that phone call, I have been holding on to my hopes... I hope Shinichi Mizutani won't look for me. I hope nothing will happen!" "But... things don't always go as planned!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Just when I thought I had escaped, he blocked my way home yesterday afternoon and asked me to go with him." "I know, the worst has happened!" "I even thought about ignoring him and letting him spread my secret..." He punched the ground, his face becoming more ferocious. "But... I don't dare to bet! He has already come to me, I don't dare to bet whether he will kill me if I refuse!" "I don't want to die!" "So, I went home with him, and when he took out the envelope I wrote to blackmail me, I pretended to agree... and then I found the right opportunity and strangled him from behind!" The figure said indifferently: "Why don't you call the police?" Yamazaki laughed sarcastically when he heard this: "Call the police? Do you think I didn't?" "After receiving that call, I immediately called the police, but was it useful?!" "They said that Shi Fangyan and Yamada Jin died in accidents, and it was not murder at all." "I said the murderer is Shinichi Mizutani, and asked them to investigate carefully... They will ask, do you have any evidence..." "…Do I have evidence?" "Haha...I don't!" "The only thing that can prove what I said is that phone call, but after that day, I can no longer get through!" He clenched his fists in anger, and like a volcano erupting after being blocked, he loudly vented his grievances: "Evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence..." "I need evidence for everything. What do you want me to do?!" "Do you have to wait until he blackmails me before you can investigate?! Who knows if I will still be alive by then?!" He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving, and he looked very angry. The figure remained silent, without any feelings in his mind. From Yamazaki's perspective, he was indeed forced to do so...but so what? After dealing with Su Beixun, he understood a truth - there are endless reasons in the world, everyone has his own reasons, and everyone has his own position. Why bother? Empathizing with others will only make you less resolute. He just needs to identify his own path and keep going forward without wavering! Therefore, for the sake of his own justice, he is willing to use all means to catch Su Beixun and solve the case of Minzhi Middle School! So, the figure said expressionlessly: "What did you do after you killed him in Mizutani's home?" "I did nothing."
Yamazaki shook his head: "After he died, I was scared and ran away with the rope that strangled him." "Then why was his body found in the school?" Yamazaki continued to shake his head: "I don't know... I was also surprised after reading the newspaper this morning... So I sent him a text message to ask him what was going on..." "Besides Shinichi Mizutani, who else have you killed?" "...He's the only one." "Besides the person who called, who else did you tell about your killing of Shinichi Mizutani?" "No one said anything." The figure nodded, silently organizing his thoughts. Because Su Beixun said that only one person was trained, they put all the related cases on A alone. But the fact is, it is not so. The person who actually killed Shinichi Mizutani was Rin Yamazaki. Then... could it be A who brought Shinichi Mizutani's body back to school? Probably! Because Shinichi Mizutani's body was placed in the same tragic state as in the series. So...could the person who made this call be A? Not quite! The person who called knew at least two months ago that Mizuko Shinichi was committing blackmail and murder. Based on A's personality, how could he have tolerated it until now? And the text message also said it had nothing to do with him...although it might be a lie. The figure called up the dialing page on his phone, entered the number and called. Toot~ Toot~ As expected, the call was not connected. The figure exhaled and turned off the phone. Well, this was all the information he had now, and he had to make the most likely assumption from it - First of all, the person who called was not Su Beixun, and neither was he A. Secondly, although he prompted Yamazaki to kill Shinichi Mizuko, he did not know why the body went to the dormitory building. Moreover, he knew Su Beixun but not A. The reason was that he asked Yamazaki to come to Su Beixun's residence to inquire, which meant that he thought that only Su Beixun would do such a thing, and did not consider the existence of A. Although I don’t know why the caller thought Su Beixun would do such a thing... But the figure still tends to believe that everything was done by A. So the question is, how did A know about this? The person who called didn't know A, so he wouldn't tell A. And Yamazaki couldn't possibly tell anyone about his murder... Is it possible that... A witnessed it himself when Yamazaki killed Mizutani Shinichi? After A saw Shinichi Mizutani die, he found out what he had done, so he changed his body to meet his own standards. "Where is Shinichi Mizutani's home?"
"……what?" "I'm asking you where is Shinichi Mizutani's home?!" If his guess was correct, then A's residence was most likely nearby! "In... in Qingshui Community, three streets away, on the seventh floor of the second building..." The figure said nothing, opened the door and walked out of the room. The sunlight passed through the dust floating in the air, illuminating him clearly. A brown coat, a brown hat, and a broad, resolute face… It’s Megure! He took a last look at Yamazaki Lin who was huddled against the wall and did not choose to call the police. Because...if he could really find A in Qingshui Community, then in order to pry Su Beixun's whereabouts out of him, he would need to use some methods that are not allowed by the police... And if he could find Su Beixun... He wiped the blood from between his fingers indifferently and gripped the cold gun handle in his arms. ——Are you determined to go to hell together? I will let you see it! He tried every possible way to get a gun license before leaving his job, and used some unreasonable means to get a gun... But it was all worth it! Walking back into the crowded street, the scorching light shone on Megure, but it could not melt the coldness in his eyes. The Megure of the past had long since died, died in those ruins, and was buried in a steel tomb along with his colleagues. The one who survived was a monster created by Su Beixun—a monster who would go crazy upon smelling him, and would not hesitate to use violence or trample on the law! There is no fundamental difference between him and A. Megure smiled at himself, looked at the Qingshui community in front of him, and suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind. It doesn't matter, no matter who created it, he wanted to kill Su Beixun out of his own heart. As for these entanglements, let's think about them slowly after the long-cherished wish is fulfilled. This is from yesterday, sorry it's late. By the way, Megure's transformation shouldn't be inconsistent, right?
