“Actually, it’s just a small matter. I contacted the people at the detention center before, and they said that Miss Kotomi, the perpetrator of the roller coaster incident, seems to be in a bad mental state.” Sato said with some concern, “If she really has some mental problems, then we may have made a wasted trip today.”
When a person is in an abnormal mental state, their words or written statements are generally not recognized by the court.
Matsuda and Sato's goal was to fill in the gaps in the transcript so that the defense lawyer could find fault with it in court. Naturally, they would not do it knowing that the criminal was mentally abnormal.
"Perhaps he's under a lot of pressure because he just killed someone and was detained," Matsuda said casually.
"I hope so..." Sato said hopefully.
……
However, reality often goes in the opposite direction of expectations.
As Sato's Mazda pulled up in front of the detention center and the two got out of the car, a window popped up in front of Matsuda's eyes.
"An anomaly detected: a fickle, decapitated ghost."
"After Kishida abandoned his old love and found a new one, his ex-girlfriend Hitomi used the speed of a roller coaster to cut off his head. Perhaps because his death was too tragic, Kishida's soul has become a vengeful ghost and is chasing after his ex-girlfriend Hitomi in the detention center."
The information before him made Matsuda's previously lazy gaze instantly turn serious: "It seems we might have made a wasted trip."
"Why?" Sato looked at him in confusion.
“You’ll find out when you get inside.” Matsuda led the way into the detention center.
After showing the prison guards their police handbooks and the Metropolitan Police Department's interrogation documents, the two successfully met with the perpetrator of the roller coaster murder case.
Upon seeing the prisoner, Hitomi, Sato gasped in surprise.
This wasn't Sato making a fuss; anyone could see that the prisoner, Hitomi, was acting abnormally.
Her long, brown hair was messy and unkempt, resembling a chicken coop. Her cheeks were pale, but she had unusually striking dark circles under her eyes.
When she was taken to the interrogation room by the prison guards, she nervously looked left and right, and her body would tremble from time to time, as if she was afraid of something.
As expected, she was haunted by a ghost. Matsuda frowned as he looked at the black aura between Kotomi's brows.
Upon seeing Sato and Matsuda, Kotomi immediately broke free from the prison guards and rushed over.
Sato instinctively raised his hand and slammed Kotomi to the ground.
Xiaotong, lying on the ground, stopped struggling and just gripped Sato's legs tightly with both hands, pleading, "Please, save me, that man, Kishida!"
"He came to see me!"
"He had no head, and was covered in blood! How horrible! Horrible..."
"Feel sorry!"
The two prison guards then realized what was happening and rushed over to grab Xiaotong tightly.
"How did she become like this?" Sato asked.
“We don’t know either,” the tall prison guard said with a wry smile. “Yesterday during the day, she was normal and calm, but in the middle of the night, she suddenly started yelling that there was a ghost and kept saying that there was a headless ghost in her cell.”
“She kept making a scene all night,” the short prison guard complained. “Nobody in the detention center slept well last night because of her.”
"Didn't you get her a doctor to take a look?" Sato looked at the girl with pity.
“We found her,” the tall prison guard replied. “There’s a psychologist here at the detention center. After examining her, they said she might have committed murder, which caused excessive psychological stress and led to a mental breakdown.”
"We just hope you can close the case quickly so she can go to court soon and be transferred to prison. That way, we can have some peace of mind," the short prison guard said, yawning.
“But in her current state, even if we get her to confirm the statement, I’m afraid the judge and lawyers won’t accept it in court.” Sato looked troubled.
Matsuda suddenly spoke up: "...Could we see her cell?"
"Hey, you don't suspect we've abused her, do you?" The short prison guard immediately became annoyed.
“Generally speaking, there is a reason for mental stimulation,” Matsuda said calmly. “Perhaps there was something in her cell that reminded her of her ex-boyfriend whom she killed, which triggered her mental problems.”
“…If that’s the case, it’s quite possible.” The tall prison guard thought for a moment. “I’ll go ask my superiors and get back to you in a bit.”
……
Half an hour later, Matsuda and Sato, having received permission from the detention center, successfully arrived at the cell where Hitomi was being held.
The cell was not large, only about three pings, or about ten square meters. It contained necessities such as bedding, a toilet, and a small table, leaving very little space for people to move around.
Sato carefully checked everything in the room, and found that everything in the room was provided by the detention center; he did not find any of Hitomi's personal belongings.
"Matsuda, it looks like we've made a wasted trip today," Sato sighed.
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear a reply for a long time, so she looked at her companion in confusion.
Only then did they realize that Matsuda had been staring at the toilet at the very back of the cell ever since he came in.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that toilet?"
"Could you please leave first? My stomach hurts a little." Matsuda raised his hand to cover his stomach, looking embarrassed.
Sato, his face dark, clenched his fists: "Hurry up!"
She turned and walked out of the cell, closing the door behind her.
After Sato left, Matsuda lowered his hand from his stomach, looked at the toilet, and said coldly, "Get out!"
There was no movement.
"You don't think I can't see you, do you, Mr. Kishida?" Matsuda emphasized.
This time, perhaps because its name was called, the toilet finally made a sound!
The light bulb on the top of the cell suddenly went out, and a cold wind swept through the small room, making the already poorly lit cell even more eerie.
At that moment, a gray figure slowly crawled out of the toilet seat.
It had no head; its blood-stained severed neck was exposed.
"Give me back my head!"
"give me back!"
The evil spirit slowly crawled toward Matsuda, its venomous voice echoing throughout the room.
"Mr. Kishida, do you think I'm as easily intimidated as Miss Hitomi?"
Matsuda sneered and took out a silver chain from his pocket. The chain was made up of small silver links that were interlocked, and each small link was engraved with densely packed incantations.
This was something Matsuda had exchanged for from the system using 3000 merit points.
Silver Charm Chain: Each link of the chain is engraved with a curse to exorcise ghosts, making it a powerful tool for dealing with vengeful spirits and malevolent spirits.
Matsuda took the silver chain and swung it with a whoosh, striking the evil spirit directly!

"what!"
Sparks, as if electrocuted, immediately flashed across the headless demon's body!
The originally venomous voice instantly turned into a scream.
"Why were you able to hurt me! Who are you?" the evil spirit cried out in panic.
In its panic, the eerie wind in the cell stopped abruptly, and the lights came on again.
"To humans, I am a policeman; to you, I am a ghost!"
As Matsuda spoke, he slapped the victim a few more times.
The talismans on the silver chain are the nemesis of ghosts. After being struck, the evil spirit's gray body was immediately covered with whip marks.
"No, I was wrong, please stop hitting me..."
The evil spirit howled and tried to retreat back into the toilet.
Matsuda stepped on it and used its silver chain to bind it securely.
"By the way, where's your head?"
Although Kishida's head was severed when he died, his head was not lost. The forensic pathologist will definitely process his head and body together.
He's at most a decapitated ghost, not a headless ghost, so how could his head be missing!
And this guy could make sounds just now, so it couldn't be that he was talking with his anus, could it?
"There, there..."
Kishida's malevolent spirit trembled and pointed at the toilet.
Matsuda stepped forward, lifted the toilet lid, and saw Kishida's head submerged in sewage.
"Aren't you disgusted?"
Matsuda looked at the human head in the toilet with disgust.
“I just wanted to scare Hitomi,” Kishida’s vengeful spirit sneered. “She killed me, so I can at least get my revenge.”
"Then why don't you reflect on why she killed you!" Matsuda glared at him, annoyed.
Kishida's malevolent spirit fell silent. It was just an ordinary vengeful spirit, not yet completely lost its mind, and remembered everything about its past life very clearly.
He naturally understood that Xiaotong killed him because he had been unfaithful and cheated on her first.
"But she... can't kill me..." Kishida's vengeful spirit muttered. "It's just cheating, it's not like I have to die, is it?"
“She killed you, and now she’s been arrested by the police and is a criminal, isn’t she? Once the court verdict is handed down, she will naturally pay the price for murder.”
As Matsuda spoke, he picked up a toilet brush, used the bristles to entangle Kishida's hair, and pulled his head out.
"As for you, let me take you to where you need to go tonight."
Matsuda casually pressed his head against the evil spirit's neck and chanted a spell: "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Bind!"
The silver chain instantly lengthened and thickened, slowly moving across Kishida's body, and soon it completely enveloped Kishida's evil spirit within the chain.
"No, my head isn't aligned properly! It's still tilted!"
Ignoring Kishida's wails, Matsuda snapped his fingers.
The silver chain then contracted into a small ball, trapping Kishida's malevolent spirit inside.
The ball was only the size of a ping-pong ball. After picking it up, Matsuda put it directly into his pocket.
Just then, Sato knocked on the door.
