Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Prophecy Comes True

Under the leadership of the police officer Wait Li, the investigators of the Luzheng Administration tried their best to search for the whereabouts of "Dr. Wax Face", but there was no clue. A month later, on the night of February 18th, another strange incident happened on the third floor of the Matsuhaya department store in Ginza. At ten o'clock in the evening, all the shop assistants had already left work, and the window lights of the department store had also been turned off. At this time, the whole building could be said to be dead silent. Except for a small lamp in the stairwell, there were only models standing there with stiff expressions in the huge store.

With the footsteps of the administrator, it gradually approached.A black shadow quickly dodged and hid in the bathroom on the third floor. Taking a closer look, that black shadow is exactly the "Detective Boy" - Mizu Chai Jin. Originally, he had successfully sneaked past the children's clothing department store, but the administrator's footsteps all the way down suddenly turned back in panic. In desperation, Miko Chaijin quickly jumped over the stage of the children's clothing department and stood among many models wearing children's clothing to act as a children's clothing model.

After a while, the Administration Bureau appeared at the entrance of the third floor with a flashlight. He looked into the store with a puzzled face and muttered: "Strange, I clearly heard a voice just now." The administrator scratched his head as he walked into the store. Miko Chaijin's heart was beating so loudly that it almost jumped out of his throat. (If caught by the clerk of the department store, he will definitely treat me as a thief and bring me to justice.) The administrator approached the children's clothing model step by step, shone the flashlight back and forth, and even carefully looked around the display stand where Miko Chai Susumu was standing.

When the light of the flashlight shone at Miko Chai Shin's feet, he was so nervous that he almost passed out. "Well, maybe I'm overthinking." Just like that, the administrator walked out of the store on the third floor, muttering to himself. Why did Miko Chai Jin come to this place? A while ago, he picked up a "Wax Figure Diary" in the studio of "Dr. Lamian", which didn't record anything special about me. The only thing that Miko Chaijin cared more about was this sentence: Miko Shibasumi suspects that "Dr. Wax Noodle" will appear on the third floor of Matsuba Department Store at ten o'clock that night, which is why he broke into Matsuhaya Department Store at night.

Not long after the administrator left, the alarm clocks in the clock store suddenly rang, and Yuzi Chaijin was so frightened that he almost fainted. Miko Chaijin calmed down, looked in the direction of the clock store with the neon light coming in through the window, and could vaguely see a very eye-catching large clock in the middle of the clock store. It was more than three meters high. The diameter of the surface is only eighty centimeters. When the alarm clocks in the clock store rang at ten o'clock at the same time, for some reason, Miko Chaijin felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, there was another creaking sound, and the face of the big clock was slowly opened, and a person slowly walked out of it. Yuzi Chaijin was so frightened that he quickly covered his ears. (Ah! That's "Dr. Lamian"...) An indifferent face like a wax figure, wearing a Western-style top hat and a tuxedo on his head, with a bowed body like a bow and arrow... "Doctor Wax Noodle" really showed up at the store on the third floor tonight. He came out of the big clock leaning on a cane, and walked towards Miko Chaijin. Yuzi Chaijin held his breath and stood motionless on the display stand. He was sweating profusely all over his body, and his heart was pounding hard.

Fortunately, "Dr. Wax Noodle" didn't notice the existence of Miko Chaijin. He passed by Miko Chaijin and walked into the lady's clothing store. There were five or six models in ladylike clothes, and "Dr. Wax" showed a sinister smile, stroking the plastic models in the dark store, and then carried one of the models on his shoulders, leaning on a cane Come out from the store on the third floor. Upon seeing this, Yuzi Chaijin immediately rushed down from the display stand and followed closely behind the "Dr. Wax Face". When he reached the stairs, Miko Chaijin hid himself at the handrail of the stairs on the third floor. He held his breath, and his eyes followed the back of "Dr. Wax Face".

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "Ah! Who is it?" A man about thirty-five or six years old with sharp eyes yelled. In the dim light, Miko Shibasumi saw the man's face, and immediately recognized the man's name as Furuya Sanzo, who was Tashiro Shinzo's assistant. (Since Sanzo Furuya is in this department store, Shinzo Tashiro must be here as well.) "Doctor Wax Noodle" was no less frightened than Miko Chaijin. Standing on the stairs, he stared at Furuya Sanzo with wide eyes and shouted, "You bastard!" Then he threw the model on his shoulders at he.

The mannequin, who was the same height as him, rolled all the way to Furuya Sanzo's feet. After bumping and bouncing, part of the mannequin's body fell off. Furuya Sansho looked at the peeling area, and found that it was a small piece of hideous dead skin, he couldn't help but gasped. Just as Furuya Sandao stood there stunned in fright, "Dr. Wax Noodle" had already charged towards Miko Chai Jin's direction. Seeing "Doctor Wax Noodle" gradually approaching him, Yuzi Chai Jin just wanted to find a place to hide... But in the next second, "Dr. Wax Noodle" grabbed Miko Chaijin and said:

"Hmph! Good boy, come with me!" Furuya Sanzo shouted from the bottom of the stairs: "It's 'Dr. Wax'...'Dr. Wax' is running away!" The people in the duty room were already shocked when they heard the sound of the model being thrown down the stairs, but now they heard someone shouting the name of "Dr. Wax Face" and they were even more frightened. Everyone moved closer, only to see that the mannequin who had been thrown down the stairs showed a small piece of dead skin where the wax had peeled off. Just as everyone was meeting each other, the shouts of Yuzi Chaijin came from upstairs.

"Come on, someone! It's 'Dr. Wax'..." After hearing Yuzi Chaijin's cry, the group finally regained their sanity from the shock. "Call all the security personnel!" "Hurry up and call the police!" There was a commotion inside the Matsubaya department store. Miko Chaijin tried his best to break free from the hands of "Dr. Wax Noodles", but he was unable to do so. He was dragged by "Dr. Wax Noodles" all the way to the roof of the eighth floor, where there was a large neon sign newly installed by Matsuba Department Store. It was a sphere with a diameter of 20 meters, like a large globe. When the blue and red neon lights flickered, the sphere could be seen rotating. "Dr. Lamian" dragged Miko Chaijin under the sphere, pinched his neck with both hands and asked: "Hmph! Kid, how do you know I'm coming here tonight?" Under the illumination of the neon lights, "Dr. Lamian" showed a terrifying and ferocious face, and strangled Yuzi Chaijin's neck vigorously. "Please let go... Otherwise, I, I can't speak at all..." "Okay, I'll let you go first. You're the kid who fell into the studio through the glass roof that day, aren't you?" "I'm the younger brother of Xindai, and I snatched a diary by accident...Because I have always wanted to be a top reporter, I always keep an eye on criminal cases." "So you're also that guy Tashiro's accomplice, haha..." "Dr. Lamian" let out a terrible laugh. "Okay, then let me tell you one more thing. Today is February 18th, and something will happen on March 10th..." "what's going to happen?" "On the tenth of March a lovely young lady will die inexplicably, and her body will be gone before the burial, because I will steal the body... You probably know that I will make the body Wax figure!" "How did that lady die? Did you kill her?" "Haha! About this part... I can't comment." "Then can you tell me the lady's name?" "Why do you ask this? If I let you know the name of that lady, I will never keep you alive." "Even if I die at your hands, I don't regret it. Please tell me the name of that poor young lady?" "In that case, let me tell you! Her name is Takasugi Akemi, now that you know my secret, I will never let you continue to live in this world, haha..." After "Doctor Wax Noodle" roared, he lifted Miko Chaijin up high, ready to throw him off the roof... "Help! Killing!" Yuzi Chaijin shouted for help at the top of his voice. Just at the very moment, a scream came from behind them: "Stop! Put that kid down quickly or I'm going to shoot." "Dr. Wax Face" looked back in surprise, only to see Sanzo Furuya standing at the stairs, pointing the gun at "Dr. Wax Face". "Bastard!" "Doctor Wax Noodle" hastily put down Mizu Chai Jin and blocked him in front of him. "If you want to shoot, shoot! Let's see whose life is more valuable." "Dr. Wax" said as he moved towards the underside of the sphere's neon light. Suddenly, he violently pushed Miko Chaijin away and jumped onto the sphere. Sanzo Furuya was in a hurry and fired a shot immediately, but "Dr. Wax Noodle" followed the sphere to the other side. Just as Furuya Sanzo was beating his chest and feet, the voice of "Dr. Wax Face" came from the opposite side of the sphere: "Ah! What, who?" Then another man's voice came out. "Haha...'Dr. Wax Face', I didn't expect that we would meet in such a wonderful place. Have you forgotten who I am? I am the reporter from Toho Niichi News Agency who was almost made into a wax figure by you a while ago—Tashiro Letter three." (Sure enough, Shinzo Tashiro sneaked into Matsubaya Department Store too.) Miko Shibajin and Furuya Sansong hurried to the side of the sphere, but unfortunately they couldn't see what they were doing on the other side of the sphere. "Then why is there someone up there?" At this time, a passerby on the street near Ginza noticed someone on the neon sphere, and other passers-by stopped to watch because of his scream. "what!" Suddenly, a shrill cry pierced the night sky of Ginza, and then a figure was seen falling down like a free falling body. "Wow……" As soon as he heard the cry, Miko Chaijin immediately leaned over from the difficulty on the roof and looked down. It turned out that the one who fell from the neon sphere was "Dr. Lamian". If he fell straight on the sidewalk in Ginza, he would definitely die. But "Doctor Wax Face" is like a strange cat with nine lives. I saw him sitting on the top of a newspaper tent next to Pine Leaf House, and he seemed to be safe and sound. At that time, a person got out of a car parked at the department store in Songye District, picked up the "Dr. Wax Face" who had fallen on the tent, and returned to the car, then started the car and left. "It's bad! Stop that car quickly, 'Dr. Wax' is leaving!" Seeing this, Yuzi Chaijin immediately tore his throat from the roof and screamed helplessly. His helpless voice could not be clearly transmitted to the ground, so he could only watch "Dr. Lamian" leave. "Mr. Tiandai, 'Dr. Lamian'..." Seeing Shinzo Tashiro coming out from the opposite side of the sphere, Miko Shibashin couldn't help saying loudly: "I didn't push him down, he jumped down by himself." Tashiro replied breathlessly, his hair disheveled, his tie askew, and his cheeks flushed. "Mr. Tashiro, what I want to say is that someone escaped with 'Dr. Wax'." "Oops!" Nobuzo Tashiro yelled, leaned against the roof wall and looked down, but the car that took away "Dr. Wax Noodle" just now had disappeared. After a while, when all parties arrived at the scene after receiving reports from the public, they could only interrogate Miko Shibasumi, Tashiro Shinzo, and Furuya Sanzo. At this time, Miko Shibasumi obediently handed over the "wax diary" to the police. "I see." The police officer in charge of this case took the "Wax Figure Diary", nodded, and then turned to Tashiro Shinzo: "Why did you two come here? Did you also pick up 'Dr. Wax'?" Tashiro Shinzo scratched his head in embarrassment and replied: "No, we just guessed that this kid must know something, so we secretly paid attention to his behavior. Today, Furuya Sanzo and I happened to see him hiding in the bathroom on the third floor of Matsubaya Department Store, so we hid in too." Tashiro Shinzo glanced at Mikoshiba Susumu, and said: "Officer, this 'Detective Boy' is indeed very clever, maybe he also knows other secrets of 'Dr. Wax'! Haha..." (Did Shinzo Tashiro hear what "Dr. Wax Face" just said? What will happen on March 10th...) However, Miko Ranshin and Tiandai Shinzo never mentioned this matter to the police. Yuzi Chai Jin has never forgotten what "Dr. Wax Noodle" said - "On March 10, a lovely lady will die inexplicably, and her body will disappear before being buried, because I will steal a corpse." ...You probably know that I'm going to make that corpse into a wax figure!" Miko Shibajin only knew the girl's name was Takasugi Akemi, but he didn't know where she lived. (What can be done to stop this from happening?) Miko Chaijin thought hard for many days, but still couldn't think of a solution, and finally he decided to tell the editor-in-chief Yamazaki about it. When the editor-in-chief Yamazaki heard the news, he was shocked and said: "March 10th... Isn't that tomorrow? Why didn't you say it earlier? No matter what, we have to find this girl as soon as possible." Therefore, Xin Daily published a striking advertisement on the notice of missing persons the next day—— At noon the next day, a girl came to the front of the newspaper office in embarrassment. She was very cute, but she was dressed in ragged clothes and her face was very ugly. The girl glanced at the introduction notice in the newspaper again, and looked around in panic. At this time, a man with a bandage on his face approached the girl and said: "Are you Takasugi Akemi?" "um, yes……" "Then please come here." The man in the bandage stretched out the right hand of the wearer's ring, and tightly held Akemi Takasugi's left wrist. She just felt as if she had been stabbed by something, and then she realized that her left wrist was bleeding. "Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my ring pierced you! Is it all right?" After the man in the bandage finished speaking, he timidly left the Xindai office and walked into the crowd. Although Akemi Takasugi felt a little strange, but because she didn't feel any pain in her left wrist, she went directly to the Shindai office. As soon as the editor-in-chief Yamazaki received the call from the counter, he immediately took Mikoshiba into the reception room, and saw Takasugi Akemi leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed to rest. Miko Chaijin looked at Takasugi Akemi's face and said: "Editor-in-Chief, she is the girl who sells flowers in Ginza every night." "Little sister, get up quickly, you will catch a cold if you sleep here." Yamazaki Souji shook Takasugi Akemi two or three times, but she didn't even blink her eyes. Miko Shibajin felt strange, so he took Takasugi Akemi's hand to feel for the pulse. Suddenly, Mizu Chaijin yelled: "Editor-in-Chief, this girl is dead!" It's incredible that the predictions of "Dr. Wax" came true.Moreover, Akemi Takasugi died in the reception room of the New Daily, which was a real blow to the New Daily. What is even more puzzling is that Akemi Takasugi has a small wound on her left wrist that looks like she was stuck by a needle. She may have been injected with venom and died. However, many doctors did not know what poison she was poisoned after. . Still, the "Dr. Waxy" prophecy isn't over. He once threatened to steal Akemi Takasugi's body before she was buried, and to make Akemi Takasugi's body into a wax figure. For this reason, the Waiting Power Police Officer of the Police Department specially summoned a group of capable police officers to look after Akemi Takasugi's body, so as not to be stolen by "Dr. Wax Face". On the other hand, Xin Daily also sent several capable reporters to monitor the scene. Akemi Takasugi lives in Yotsuya, and lives with her mother. When her mother heard the news of her daughter’s mysterious death, she cried frantically at the dead body. Everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help but sympathize with their situation. tears. During the funeral, the police officer Wangoli and the editor-in-chief Yamazaki comforted Takasugi Akemi's mother and asked her to be sympathetic. Finally, her body was successfully put into the coffin and flowers were placed on her body. Nail the lid on the coffin. When the hearse carrying Akemi Takasugi’s coffin left the house, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon on March 12. In addition to the cars carrying Akemi Takasugi’s mother and relatives, there were also police cars and interview cars from newspapers behind the hearse. Anti-"Dr. Wax" took the corpse away by surprise. However, when the funeral procession came near Shinjuku, a large truck suddenly squeezed into the first hearse and the drivers behind it, and then stopped in the middle of the road without moving. "Hey! Don't park the truck here." Waiting for the police officer to poke out the window and yell at the truck, but the truck parked in the middle of the road still didn't move. During this time, the hearse had already turned at the intersection and disappeared. "Oops! Did the truck break down?" Just when everyone was so nervous that they didn't know what to do, the truck finally started again. "No matter what method you use, you must catch up with the hearse ahead." Waiting for the police officer to give an order, all the police cars immediately moved forward at full speed. When they turned the corner and saw the hearse about 100 meters ahead, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Arriving at one of the crematoriums, the staff lifted the coffin off the hearse, and the waiter force officer suddenly shouted: "Isn't this Takasugi Akemi's coffin?" Editor-in-Chief Yamazaki and Akemi Takasugi's mother turned pale with fright. Takasugi Akemi's body was placed in a child's coffin, but now it is an adult's coffin in front of everyone. Because it happened so suddenly, even the driver of the hearse was too frightened to speak for a long time. At this time, a white-haired old man stepped down from the hearse, and he asked solemnly: "Are you the police? Is there anything wrong? This is my business card..." Waiting for the police officer to take a look at that person's business card, it turned out that his name was Saburo Baba. "The thing is like this, my wife passed away the day before yesterday, and the funeral was held for her today. I didn't notify any relatives, and I held the funeral for her alone..." The white-haired old man shed tears of sadness as he spoke. Officer Waiting Li and Mr. Yamazaki looked at each other in surprise, wondering when did they follow the wrong hearse? "So, did you see any other hearses on the way?" Waiting for power, the police officer hurriedly asked: "By the way, after you mentioned it, I suddenly remembered that a hearse passed in front of us near Shinjuku, and then turned to the direction of Yokocho. Driver, is that right?" "Yeah! At that time, I still thought it was very strange. There was no crematorium in that direction. Why did the hearse drive there?" "Oops! It seems that 'Dr. Wax' stole Takasugi Akemi's body at that time." The police officer was so angry that he beat his chest, forehead and feet. "Then where did the bad guys take my poor daughter?" Takasugi Akemi's mother was so sad that she cried. "I'm really sorry, it's because we were too careless to cause you so much trouble." Editor-in-chief Yamazaki immediately apologized to the white-haired old man. "Just as long as the matter is clarified. Driver, please send this coffin to the opposite side! Then, I will take my leave first..." Waiting for the police officer to look at the back of the white-haired old man leaving behind the coffin, he was stunned for a while before recovering to deal with the oolong case. "Search for all suspicious-looking hearses immediately!" Waiting for the force police officer to scold the slow-moving criminal policeman and the journalist who got in the way, he got into the car and drove away. The white-haired old man and the driver of the hearse came out of the crematorium. They looked around and said with a smile: "Things are going very well, those are stupid people..." After finishing speaking, the white-haired old man jumped into the hearse and left the crematorium quickly. He and the hearse arrived in front of an old brick house in the suburbs of Tokyo. The driver of the hearse jumped out of the car and opened the iron gate, and then drove the hearse over. There is a tall tower in the center of this bungalow, and a large clock is placed on the front of the tower, and the clock is now pointing to 5:30. The hearse stopped in front of the quaint entrance, and the white-haired old man got out of the car immediately. But if you take a closer look, isn't this white-haired old man the "Dr. Wax Life"? It turned out that the white-haired old man named "Bachang Sanlang" was "Dr. Wax Face" in disguise. After the driver closed the door, he came to the side of "Dr. Wax". "Bring down the coffin." "Yes, doctor. Even the waiter didn't notice that the coffin was on the hearse all the time!" "They're so stupid! Haha..." "Doctor, this coffin is really heavy!" "Doctor Wax" and the driver lifted out a small coffin from under the seat of the hearse, which was exactly the small coffin where Takasugi Akemi was placed. "Well, this coffin is indeed very heavy, probably because her mother loves her precious daughter, so she put all the things that can be put into the coffin." "Doctor Wax" and the driver carried the coffin into the entrance with great difficulty. About ten minutes later, "Dr. Wax" and the driver came out and talked for a while. "Then, you can drive this car back to the city." "yes." "Come back here at eight o'clock, we have a lot to do tonight." "Doctor, what about you?" "I'll be back here before eight o'clock!" "Okay, doctor, see you later..." "See you at eight." Just like that, the driver drove away. After the car drove away, "Doctor Wax Face" also staggered out of this strange bungalow...
