21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 251 - 248 Purpose
The personal effects left behind by the numerous victims, as well as the diary written by the murderer himself as a form of boasting, and the manuscript prepared by that reporter based on the murderer’s narrative, all these contents were enough to prove the fact that the murderer committed the killings.
Although the diary and manuscript could be dismissed as fantasy, the numerous victims’ belongings were indisputable crucial evidence, sufficient to secure a conviction and bring this extremely vicious criminal to justice.
Moreover, after Kojo Kyoko cut off three fingers from the reporter’s right hand, he confessed everything he knew, just like spilling beans from a bamboo tube, even handing over the most critical piece of evidence he controlled, a toy ball, turning this extremely heinous serial murder case into an ironclad one.
While Kojo Kyoko’s investigative methods were undoubtedly efficient, they were also excessively brute—cutting off the reporter’s three fingers amounted to serious torture and constituted assault. However, such a minor crime was no problem at all, as long as no one pursued it.
Faced with the cold seawater of Tokyo Bay, the reporter wisely made a choice and actively confessed to his crimes in this series of murders, resulting in his arrest for complicity in murder.
"Where is that beast?" Watching the police arresting the reporter, and the police conducting a search inside Kosei Real Estate, Dr. Nakado finally calmed down, but his eyes were terrifyingly intimidating as he looked at Kojo Kyoko. He knew that this woman could uncover everything and had called him over, obviously knowing where the murderer was.
"Not here," said Kojo Kyoko suddenly, curling her lips into a smile as a joke. But seeing Dr. Nakado looking ready to explode with pent-up anger, she quickly changed her tune and advised him, "Dr. Nakado, even if you do nothing, this criminal will be brought to justice, and for such a vile serial murder case, I can assure you he will be sentenced to death...
Even so, do you still want to take revenge with your own hands?"
Kojo Kyoko’s words immediately drew the attention of Misumi Mikoto, who hastily advised Dr. Nakado, "Dr. Nakado, don’t act rashly! Now that the truth is out, as long as the police catch the murderer, he will surely face a fair trial by law. There’s no need for you to..."
"Shut up!" Dr. Nakado shouted at Misumi Mikoto, offering her no explanation whatsoever, instead conveying his determination for revenge through his firm gaze, then turned to look at Kojo Kyoko, who still appeared composed, watching him: "Where is he?"
"Dr. Nakado..." Misumi Mikoto still wanted to persuade Dr. Nakado not to do anything foolish impulsively, but seeing his steadfast gaze, she didn’t know where to begin.
Eight years was enough time to erode any impulse or recklessness; but likewise, after eight years, Dr. Nakado’s determination for revenge was not something that could be swayed by any words. If he couldn’t personally exact vengeance on the murderer, he would live his life in guilt and self-reproach.
"I do indeed know where the murderer is, and it was only because someone became aware of the murderer’s existence that I came to investigate this matter," admitted Kojo Kyoko willingly, revealing something she hadn’t told the police, "But why should I tell you? Dr. Nakado, you are just a forensic doctor.

Your love story with your girlfriend is touching, but telling you the whereabouts of the murderer, what good does it do me? What can you provide in return?"
In fact, for Kojo Kyoko herself, she was genuinely moved by Dr. Nakado’s unwavering determination for eight years to seek revenge for his girlfriend. However, she could not let her personal feelings affect her judgment. Furthermore, after learning that the murderer was related to Dr.
Nakado’s girlfriend who was killed eight years before, she received instructions from Chen Yu to let him avenge his loved one, but also to ensure that he became a member of the Mingyue Society.
Kojo Kyoko did not understand this, but Chen Yu just told her one thing, "The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred, and hatred is a very powerful force."
Having already dedicated everything to Chen Yu, Kojo Kyoko, who was filled with loyalty towards him, naturally would not go against his wishes. That’s why she deliberately concealed the murderer’s whereabouts from the police, allowing the Nakado Department a chance for revenge, while at the same time, she was guiding them with her words.
"What do you want me to do?" The Nakado Department did not mind paying the price as long as it was for revenge, even if the cost was everything he had.
"The murderer is called Takase Fumito, currently receiving burn treatment in the ICU ward of Eastern University Affiliated Hospital," Kojo Kyoko didn’t tell the Nakado Department what she wanted him to do but directly informed him of the murderer’s details: "He is the eleventh survivor from the previous fire scene.
Heaven has opened its eyes, leaving you a chance to personally claim vengeance on your enemy."
Hearing Kojo Kyoko say this, the Nakado Department had not yet had a chance to react when Misumi Mikoto, very surprised, grabbed Kojo Kyoko’s shoulder and urgently asked, "Does Doctor Chen know about this? Did he send you to investigate this?"
Misumi Mikoto finally realized that all of this was being orchestrated by Chen Yu behind the scenes, she glanced at the Nakado Department, and with a hint of panic, asked Kojo Kyoko, "Doctor Chen…what does he intend to do to Dr. Nakado?"
"I’m sorry, I don’t know." Kojo Kyoko obviously knew that Misumi Mikoto had become a disciple to Chen Yu, so she would not be disrespectful towards her, but she truly didn’t understand Chen Yu’s purpose: "The adult just instructed us to come and investigate. After learning that Dr.
Nakado’s lover was murdered by the assailant, he only asked me not to tell the police the whereabouts of the murderer and instead, give Dr. Nakado an opportunity for revenge. As for what the adult ultimately wants to do…you might as well go and ask the adult directly, he is waiting for you."
"Brother Yu? What does this have to do with Brother Yu?" Kube Rokuro, upon hearing Chen Yu’s name, was also surprised. Although Misumi Mikoto’s unusual attention to Chen Yu had made him pay more attention to Chen Yu during this period, it clearly could not compare to what he now knew.
Kube Rokuro could not imagine how, in just a moment’s time, this senior brother he once knew had become so unfamiliar that he dared not recognize him anymore.
"Doctor Chen? Who exactly is he?" The Nakado Department couldn’t help but ask Kojo Kyoko, even with his hatred brimming, he also sensed something extraordinary about Chen Yu’s identity.
"Who the adult is, why don’t you go and ask him in person, Dr. Nakado? I believe the adult will give you an answer," Kojo Kyoko gestured for them to proceed.
The Nakado Department and Misumi Mikoto exchanged glances, then immediately ran towards the car that came for them, and Kube Rokuro quickly followed suit.
