Continuation Shota Aizawa x Akemi Yuriemoto (Aizawa)

Chapter 299: Murder Castle 2.0

Hitoshi's Legacy Paper
Part 3
--------------------

Hitoshi smirked and spoke. "One thing to be aware of that great grandmother Ayeka is not someone you want to have a vendetta with...to which Hayato agreed."

"The moment the suspect was identified as a former teacher of the University Asami once attended everything fell into place. The police were systematically checking the building the man lived in. The day of the arrest Hayato and Ayeka were on the roof of a building facing the massive home of the serial killer with one LIDAR drone and a long range infrared quirk mapping out the building. The LIDAR drone remained in the air. The entire building was built mirroring the blueprints of the Murder Castle from that American Serial Killer H.H.Holmes."

"Their target was home, but it would be a maze of death traps just trying to get to him. If he moved around then having a big group would be to risky. He could easily separate them and pick them off one by one. To quote Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars he has the higher ground."

"Even with Hayato big braining with gathering mutation based quirks to bust through walls if anyone got separated he still told the Chief it was an ill advised plan. Ayeka and Hayato argued a bit, but the moment he mentioned Asami...Chief Ayeka's reply was rather intense and to the point."

"Erasure...need I say it again? I won't hesitate to restrain you in handcuffs if you try to stop me."

Hitoshi chuckled hesitantly. "Yeahhh, she's not a woman you'd want to anger, and she said that while loading six bullets into her gun!"

Hitoshi then had a smug grin on his face as he spoke. "Cue big brained Hayato with his ever logical reply..."

"Chief I'm with you, but note that we are doing this tactfully and strategically. He targets women and quiet frankly you being the only woman here is kind of asking for you to be the bait."

His smug grin turned into a smug tone of voice. "Now comes Ayeka's sassy reply..."

"Well, I guess I'm the bait then. My only question is, are you going to side with the faithful Daniel...or with the snitches that are torn apart by the lions?"

Hitoshi smirked. "Safe to say Hayato got the gist of that underlying threat and immediately defended himself with a reply of his own..."

"I'm with Daniel of course, but it's what's waiting for us in the den that worries me. That's not even counting the Lion."

Hitoshi's gaze turned tense as he spoke. "He was right to be concerned about the Lion because shit hit the fan and everything went to Hell the moment they entered into that death trap of a house. After narrowly avoiding a trapdoor spike pit in the foyer. Hayato almost lived out a Home Alone scene on the stairs as an 8 inch long knife swund down on a chain and narrowly lodged into his throat!"

"Talk about seeing your life flashing before your eyes. As he walked up the steps he had triggered that first trap when his foot pressed down on a squeaky board. Thankfully he was crouching down already to inspect the loose footboard. He froze over the blade swinging inches above his head. Pretty sure if the other officers could hear his muffled screaming and voiced their teasing remarks then he likely wouldn't deny that he was more than a little shook up by that near death experience. Safe to say that his battle senses were heightened tenfold after that."

"Hayato's confidence faded fast as the horrid realization over what those fifteen weeks of silence were for this psychopath. It was so he could perfect his killings within the comforts of this Hell House! Just like H.H.Holmes, he'd invite people over, advertising it as a hotel only to have them meet their ends and collect the cash to fund his morbid failure of a teaching career. For medical students, like the Police Chiefs adopted goddaughter, who had questioned his teachings at the university during his time there...he'd stalk them, and then slaughter them as a homage to Jack the Ripper for the next fifteen weeks. He'd also slaughter the black market dealers to silence any leaked information on the bodies he'd sell to them."
