Truth is everywhere within range

Suginami District.

A street that was originally bustling with traffic.

At this moment, the traffic here is at a standstill.

Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances surrounded the accident site, separating the onlookers.

"The cause of the accident was simple."

"When a high school student was crossing the road normally, he was accidentally hit by a driver. According to the current investigation results, the driver should have panicked after being reminded by the co-pilot's wife and stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake."

"The high school student was knocked into a telephone pole by the roadside, but the driver never let go of the accelerator because of nervousness and concurrent heart disease."

"The vehicle's trajectory later deviated and hit several other vehicles."

"It's really miserable."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Suginami District Ito Ryohei Police Department frowned slightly.

"Never let go of the accelerator? Heart attack?"

He was not a police officer from the Ministry of Transportation who specializes in dealing with traffic accidents. He just happened to be shopping nearby with his family. When he saw an accident, he came over to take a look at the situation.

"Yes, the driver who caused the accident is eighty-two years old and is currently undergoing treatment for a heart disease."

"Eighty-two years old?"

Ito Ryohei was a little surprised.

Although the driver's license in Japan does not set an upper limit for driving age, in other words, as long as you can still step on the accelerator, you can drive at any age.

However, due to the aging society recently, there have been more and more traffic accident cases involving the elderly, which is really a social issue worthy of attention.

Some people are calling for a ban on driving for those over 60 years old, but the opposition seems to be even louder.

Ito Ryohei did not comment on this. At least judging from the current case, older drivers are indeed more likely to have accidents.

"Where's the high school student?"

"The doctor has declared death."

".Is this so?"

Ito Ryohei sighed.

"How old is the child?"

"I checked my student ID. I'm fifteen years old and a student of Pinewood Middle School."

"Matsunoki Middle School."

Ito Ryohei was stunned.

Because his daughter was also a student in that school and was the same age as the unfortunate victim.

I wonder what her father will do when he learns about this?

Ito Ryohei didn't think about it anymore.

"When will the Spirit Exterminator arrive?"

"The closest one is in the middle and jungle area, about five minutes away."

In Japan, when traffic accidents like this happen, spiritual exorcists are sometimes called in.

Sometimes they help identify corpses through psychic channels and obtain first-hand information about accidents.

Sometimes it is to dispel resentments and prevent the deceased from causing trouble in the future.

Another situation is to confirm whether there are any traces of evil spirits at work.

For example, if the evil boy on the highway had not been intervened by a spiritual exterminator, he would have been treated as a normal traffic accident, thereby ignoring the existence of evil spirits, which would lead to more traffic accidents in the future.

In this era, famine and war are almost invisible. Traffic accidents, murders, and natural disasters are more likely to lead to the emergence of resentful spirits.

For example, in this incident, although the elderly driver is indeed worthy of criticism, the possibility of evil spirits at work cannot be ignored.

Therefore, as soon as the incident was reported, the police contacted the Soul Exorcist Association and asked it to send reinforcements.

Ito Ryohei was not the main person in charge here. After inquiring about the situation, he helped deal with the scene.

A few minutes later, while Ito Ryohei was squatting to collect vehicle fragments at the scene, the spirit exterminator arrived.

"Hard work. Huh?"

As soon as Ito Ryohei took off his gloves and was about to shake hands with the other party, he found that the person standing in front of him was Qiao Qiao.

"Ito Police Department, I didn't expect us to meet again."

Qiao Qiao generously held Ito Ryohei's hand.

"Who is this?"

Ito Ryohei noticed Hoshino Sasha behind Qiao Qiao again.

"This is Sister Hoshino, you can also call her Ghost Shark."

"Ghost shark?"

Is this some kind of role-playing game?

Ito Ryohei didn't quite understand, but it seemed that normal communication was no problem.

"Then, please check the scene to see if the accident was caused by the evil spirit."

"learn."

Qiao Qiao and Hoshino Sasha entered the cordon under the leadership of Ito Ryohei.

The scene of the traffic accident was very tragic. Because it was a series of car accidents, several cars were parked in the middle of the road.

You can even see blood spattered on the ground.

Qiao Qiao didn't speak. He scanned around the scene with his spiritual vision.

The amount of yin energy was within the normal range, and the vehicle involved in the accident was not possessed by any vengeful spirit.

He glanced again at the ambulance that was rescuing the driver of the accident.

There are also no traces of resentful spirits.

Judging from this, it is indeed not the evil spirits causing trouble.

"It's not the evil spirits causing trouble."

Qiao Qiao replied.

Ito Ryohei hesitated, and then his eyes dimmed.

If there is no evil spirit at work, it is just a traffic accident.

It's a simple man-made disaster.

If you can pay attention to any link, the disaster will not happen.

Qiao Qiao didn't pay attention to Ito Ryohei's expression. His eyes went over the other person's shoulders and fell behind.

Hoshino Sasha didn't know when she put down her suitcase and ran there.

There was a stained telephone pole there.

Under the telephone pole, there was a large pool of blood that had not completely coagulated.

Hoshino Sasha squatted down.

Beside her, there was a girl wearing a student uniform, squatting next to a telephone pole and crying.

"Uuuuuu——"

The girl burst into tears, her face covered with tears.

In the sunlight, she shimmered.

Yes, this is the spirit of the deceased.

"Cry, cry, it's okay."

Hoshino Sasha stretched out her hand. Although she could not touch the girl's spirit, she still said in a gentle voice.

He was obviously younger than himself, but he encountered such a thing.

This is also helpless.

Not long after, a man suddenly tried to enter the cordon.

"My daughter, my daughter."

His face was full of anxiety and shock, and he struggled with the police for a long time before he was finally taken to the ambulance.

Hearing the man's voice, the crying girl's spirit suddenly raised her head.

"dad?"

she called, in a voice inaudible to the man.

The spirit began to move, following the man's footsteps.

Hoshino Sasha chased after him, and Qiao Qiao also followed to ensure safety.

In the ambulance, a cold body lay.

The girl who was originally young has lost her warmth.

Her father stared at all this in a daze, unable to say a word.

His daughter's spirit looked at her father and then at her own body, as if she finally understood something.

He is already dead.

No longer alive.

"Dad, I was wrong, I shouldn't have"

"I'm sorry, Suzumi, I shouldn't have said that to you, I shouldn't have."

One person and one spirit spoke almost at the same time.

Qiao Qiao saw a bridge light up between the spirit bodies of the man and the girl.

"Suzumi, do you want to continue studying?"

"I'm so annoyed, old man, please stop meddling in my affairs."

"I'm busy in the store every day, isn't it because of you?"

"If you weren't just focusing on work, why would mom run away with someone else?"

"Suzumi, you have to think carefully about the future."

"Slutty, you don't understand me at all."

"If you don't clean up your room today, don't live here again."

"Who wants to live with you? Let me tell you, I hate you the most!"

The conversation between father and daughter flows through the psychic scenes.

The two don't seem to have a good relationship.

It's the kind of father who doesn't know how to get along with his daughter and the daughter who is in the rebellious stage that can be seen everywhere.

As time goes by, such father and daughter may eventually understand each other.

But there was no time.

The thoughts that have not been conveyed have been accompanied by the passing of life, and they can no longer be heard.

However, Hoshino Sasha gently held the girl's spirit hand.

Put it on the back of his father's hand.

"Your daughter already knows your thoughts, and she said to you, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words to you."

Hoshino Sasha is acting like a real spiritual master at this moment.

Conveying the words of the deceased to the living.

The noisy city contrasts with the quiet ambulance.

The girl's spirit took one last look at her father.

Then it turned into particles of light and disappeared under the sunlight.

In this solemn scene.

Qiao Qiao's attention was not on the father and daughter.

He saw a bit of black thread-like Yin Qi flowing from the father's body to the crowd of onlookers.
