| Murder of the Serpent Demon Legend
7.5 points or ★ ★ ★ ☆
"Sukihara Ryuze," a famous psychic, disappeared from the hotel, and then his body or organs were found in eight different shrines, all of which invited the god Susaono to exist, which corresponds to the legend of the eight-headed Orochi giant snake demon "that he likes to draw, the demon that was subdued by the god Susaono by cutting off the eight heads.
Months later, the case hasn't progressed, so Ryuze's daughter, Tomomi, has to hire a private investigator like Rinko to find the killer, because if you wait for the police, the case won't progress.
Good plot / storyline, fun, intense investigation. My favorite kind of investigation is to slowly find clues and evidence. The story is not very complicated, easy to read, easy to understand. The snake demon legend is about interesting.
The early days were slow because there were a lot of serpent demon legends, a little boring, but in the middle of the period, it was fast. The puzzle was interesting, making it read more and more enjoyable. Even though it was thick, it stuck more than expected.
It's not very difficult to guess, because it's a typical investigation, so there's no event that feels like peak or wow, and it's easy to guess the killer. In chapter two, I know who the killer is, what kind of motive makes the answer not peak, but peak, because there's something a little unexpected.
The end of the day wasn't much of a criminal confession, which was previously assumed, and I guess it was right, so I didn't feel like it was peak.
Overall, it's fun and easy to read. The legend of the snake demon is about interesting, but it's a typical kind of investigation that makes it easy to guess, but it doesn't diminish the fun. Because the investigation is so intense that it's not thick. It's considered a bit of a rumor.
