Chapter 2 Chapter Two

The days in winter are short, the sun has just set, and the surroundings are as dark as a piece of black velvet, only a few stars in the sky give off faint starlight; in addition, the leaves have also fallen off, which makes people feel Not a trace of anger. This is Takaido, some distance from the city center. The taxi carrying "Dr. Lamian" drove to the door of a building standing in front of the primitive dead forest, and it was already around six o'clock in the evening. On the way, in order to get rid of the stalkers behind him, he changed three taxis one after another and took some extra detours.

When "Dr. Lamian" got off the bus, the taxi driver drove away without hesitation. After watching the taxi leave, he stepped into the gate of the building. Only two stone pillars remained in front of the building as door frames, so it can be imagined that the situation inside the house is not much better. Since it was winter, there were no overgrown weeds in the yard, only untrimmed dead wood standing in it, and the walls of the house were already mottled. "Doctor Wax" looked around, then quickly got into the studio, and immediately closed the door. After a while, the roof of the studio revealed a faint light in the desolate night.This light appeared particularly bright.

At this time, Tezi Chaijin crawled forward and quietly climbed to the front of the studio.He chased here all the way from Sunrise Valley, and rode a bicycle for nearly two hours in the bitterly cold climate, almost circumnavigating the entire Tokyo. At this moment, Miko Rongjin's feet were like bipolar popsicles, his whole body was exhausted, hungry and thirsty, but he still didn't dare to relax. Miko Chaijin hid behind the shadow of the gate to inquire about the situation inside the house for a while, then sneaked into the door under the cover of the shadow, intending to approach the studio step by step.

Suddenly, he heard murmurs coming from the studio. (This should be the voice of "Dr. Lamian".) "Tashiro, how are you? Your eyes are very uncomfortable! I think you are probably hungry too, so take out the cloth ball in your mouth first." Yuzi Chai Jin looked around in a hurry, and found that all the windows had been fitted with dense shutters, making it impossible to peep into the house. "Ming..." Yuzi Chaijin heard a groan, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. ("Dr. Lamian" seems to be taking out a cloth ball stuffed in someone's mouth...)

"Hey! Dr. Lamian, what do you want to do to me?" Judging from the speaker's voice, Yuzi Chai Jin believed that he should be a young man. Then, he heard the low, mocking voice of "Doctor Wax". "You still dare to ask me what I want to do to you? Hmph! Tashiro Shinzo, you already know my secret, how can you continue to live in this world? Your living will only increase my troubles, so I plan to put you After killing it, make it into a wax figure." Upon hearing the name Tashiro Nobu Sanbo, Miko Shibajin couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Tashiro Shinzo is the number one competitor of the New Daily News, a senior reporter at the Toho Daily News Agency. Miko Chaijin not only knows his name very well, but also often meets with this senior reporter. (Could it be that Yu Daixinsan, a senior reporter from Dongdu Riri News Agency, fell into the hands of "Dr. Lamian".) Thinking of this, Miko Chaijin couldn't help his heart beat faster. He pricked up his ears again to listen to the conversation in the room, and it turned out that his guess was correct. "Sigh! It's really worth it. I finally found out your secret. I thought I could help the newspaper get the exclusive news, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands... Now I can't even save my little life."

Nobuzo Tashiro suppressed the fear in his heart, and his voice trembled slightly. "Yeah! Anyone who knows my secret. I will not let him continue to live in this world. I will kill him first, and then make a wax statue. This is the biggest hobby of my life, haha... " The laughter of "Dr. Lamian" makes people feel hairy. "Ah! Who... come and save me..." After a burst of chaotic sounds, Shinzo Tashiro's shrill cry for help came from the studio. "Huh, huh! This guy is really cowardly. Now that no one is interfering, hurry up and make a mistake!"

(We can't delay any longer, it's important to save lives.) Miko Chaijin looked around and found that there was a branch of a big pine tree extending just above the roof of the studio. He managed to climb up the branch and looked down to see the glass canopy on the studio roof within his reach, giving him a full view of the studio. He saw a man in only his underwear collapsed on the ground, beside him was a pot as big as a western-style bathtub, smoking hot smoke. (How horrible! If "Dr. Ramen" had thrown Shinzo Tashiro into that cauldron, he would have died.) When Miko Chaijin thought of that situation, he immediately shuddered.

"Hey! Come quickly! Kill people! There will definitely be a murder here!" Yuzi Chaijin opened his throat and yelled loudly, but the branch gradually couldn't bear the weight of his body and broke with a click. Miko Chaijin fell down, and saw that he broke through the glass window of the roof, fell into the studio, and then lost consciousness. After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, he found that the surroundings were pitch black. He looked up and saw a few flickering stars in the sky outside the glass window he smashed, and in the next second, that cauldron of boiling wax suddenly passed through his mind.

(I wonder what happened to Shinzo Tashiro? Where is "Dr. Ramen" now?) Thinking of this, Miko Ranguo felt a burst of horror welling up in his heart, and quickly got up from the floor. Except for a little pain in his waist, he was fine in other parts. Immediately afterwards, Miko Chaijin took out a pen-shaped flashlight from his coat pocket, lightly pressed the switch, and looked directly at the situation inside the house under the faint light. In an instant, he saw Tashiro Shinzo lying on the ground without changing his posture, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

(Fortunately, Tashiro Shinzo has not yet been made into a wax statue by "Dr. Wamen". But "Dr. Lamian" has been hiding somewhere. ) Miko Shibajin looked around again, but there was still no sign of "Dr. Ramen", so he shone a flashlight on Tashiro Shinzo's face to confirm his identity. "Mr. Tashiro; Mr. Tashiro..." Miko Shibashin yelled and shook Tashiro Shinzo gently, but he still didn't respond.The only thing that is certain is that Tashiro Shinzo is not dead, because he is still breathing weakly. Tashiro Shinzo may have been given sleeping pills by "Dr. Ramen", which is why he fell asleep so deeply. After confirming the situation of Tashiro Shinzo, Miko Chaijin finally calmed down, so he started to search the room, and he found a light switch on the wall. Miko Chaijin immediately turned on the light switch, and the whole room suddenly became very bright. In the next second, Miko Chaijin was startled when he saw a male wax figure that looked like a statue of Xi lying down in a corner of the studio. This male wax figure was probably knocked down when Miko Shibasumi fell. Due to the violent shock, the wax from the shoulders to the abdomen of the wax figure fell off, because the part that came out seemed to be... a human arm! "what!" Yuzi Chaijin screamed, took several steps back, but kicked something, so he stooped to pick it up to have a look. (It is a portable diary.) He opened the cover and saw the first page read: (This should be the diary of "Dr. Lamian".) Yuzi Chaijin gained a lot from this journey, he quickly put the diary in his pocket, then rushed outside and shouted loudly: "Killer! Come on, someone..." The next morning, all readers of Xindai were shocked by the headlines in a cold sweat. At that time, after hearing the cry of Yuzi Chaijin for help, the police who came to find out after some investigations confirmed that there was indeed a male corpse in the wax figure in the corner of the studio. The horrific discovery of two wax bodies in separate locations in one day has everyone terrified. In addition, Tashiro Shinzo, a senior reporter of Toto Daily News, finally became conscious after first aid by a doctor.What he described happened as follows: A year ago, the police found a female body hidden in a wax statue, but they did not know who the murderer was at the time, and it is still an unsolved case. Later, Shinzo Tashiro began to investigate the unsolved case and discovered that a strange old man who claimed to be "Dr. Wamen" owned an office on the fifth floor of the Ninth Building and made a living selling wax figures by himself. Under Tashiro Shinzo's persistent pursuit, he finally found out that he lived in Takaido's studio. That day, Shinzo Tashiro sneaked into the studio while "Dr. Ramen" was away. When he was searching the studio, "Dr. Ramen" happened to come back. As a result, Shinzo Tashiro became "Dr. capsule. At the moment, police officers from the Police Department are inspecting the fifth floor of the Maru Building. During this period, the police have found out that the three bodies hidden in the wax figures did not die of homicide, but were stolen from the hospital. "Dr. Lamian" loves this creepy trick, and perhaps it's a precursor to other horrors. The hero who dug up the exclusive news for Shindai this time, Miko Chaijin, was praised by the editor-in-chief Yamazaki and other colleagues, and he also thought of Kosuke Kindaichi because of the excavation. Kosuke Kindaichi is one of the best detectives in Japan and a friend of the editor-in-chief Yamazaki.Unfortunately, he is currently traveling in the United States and will not return to Japan in half a year. Miko Ryeshin had worked with Kindaichi Kosuke on many cases before. Under such circumstances, he could only sigh softly: "Oh! It would be great if Mr. Kindaichi was here at this time." One day, Shinzo Tashiro of Toto Daily News came to visit Miko Shibasumi. The New Daily News and the Dongdu Daily News were originally competitors, but now a famous reporter from the Eastern Daily News actually came to visit the younger brother of the New Daily News, Mizu Chai Jin, mainly to thank him for saving his life. "Hey! Detective boy, thank you for saving your life." "Oh! Don't be so polite! Mr. Tashiro, you are better. I didn't expect you to be eyeing 'Dr. Wax'." "The result is still a failure... By the way, detective boy, did you find some clues in that job and hide it?" Miko Chai Jin was a little surprised, because he did not hand over the "wax diary" he found in the studio to the police. At this moment, Sosei Yamazaki happened to come over, and Shinzo Tashiro smiled and said: "Mr. Yamazaki, Mizushiba Susumu really deserves to be Mr. Kindaichi's disciple, and he is not sloppy at all. Originally, I planned to take the murder case of 'Dr. Wax Noodle' as the exclusive news of this newspaper. Had a big somersault." "Hahaha! This is the greatest fortune among misfortunes! Mr. Tashiro, it is always good to save your precious life. As the saying goes, 'If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of no firewood'." "I won't be so careless next time, haha..." The tall and thin Tashiro Shinzo left Shindai after leaving a series of hearty laughter.
