“These four men appear to belong to the organizations chasing after Rei Mikagami,” Lico said
while rummaging through the pockets of the men on the ground. He came across their wallets
and passports, but nothing referenced Rei Mikagami.

“I don’t see any external injuries... How did they die?”

“There are bruises around their necks,” Kyoko responded.

“So they were strangled to death?”

“All four of them have the same bruises. Would Rei Mikagami really use such a time-consuming
killing method against four enemies? Even if none of them were trained for battle, in the time it
takes to strangle one of them, the others could easily flee.”
Kyoko lifted one of the corpses’ heads to check the nape of its neck.

“Oh...” Kyoko let out a small gasp as she realized something. “His neck is completely snapped.”

“The same is true for this man over here,” Lico added, checking another of the bodies.
Something about the corpses seemed to fascinate Kyoko and Lico. They crouched next to the
bodies and were eagerly discussing something.

The four of them died from having their necks snapped? What in the world happened here?
