[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

At that time, I was so powerless, so powerless that even if I knew the murderer, I could only protect myself first.

Why did it become like this?I asked myself, if they hadn't met me, if they hadn't made an emotional connection with me, wouldn't it have been like this?

But no matter how I asked, there was no answer, and the once filled part of my heart became empty again. I couldn't help covering my chest, as if this would block the pervasive wind.

so cold.It's really cold.

At this moment, I found that I missed that person very much.

A call rang with the sound of rain, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Are you all right? Where are you now?"

It was Yakumo's voice.

"..." I held the phone, speechless for a moment.

"Where are you?"

Yakumo asked the silent me again, seeming very anxious.

"It's late..." I tried my best to ignore the inexplicable choking, and said.

I looked around, I was on the uphill road to Shiori's house, there was no one in sight, after all, it was raining heavily now... I heard the engine of a car, it was a van, slowly passing by me .Suddenly, the car door opened, and a hand was quickly stretched out to grab me into the car from behind.

"... Yakumo!"

My cry disappeared in the middle of the hands covering my mouth.

"Hey! Answer me quickly! Hey! Damn it!"

With a roar, Yakumo dropped the phone to the ground, and the shell phone was immediately split into two halves, and several parts popped out.

"...Hey, that's my phone..."

Yakumo didn't hear his voice, and he picked up the horrific wreckage of the phone.Ahhh, it's exhausted.

"Listen, Yakumo, calm down, what happened?"

Goto grabs his wrist to calm him down.

"We were so wrong!"

Yakumo said while waving Goto's hand away.

"Big mistake?"

"That's right, it's a big mistake. It wasn't Emiko Gato who was burned to death here, but Shiori!"

"You, what did you say!"

"Emiko is still alive! I'm afraid Emiko and Shiori have the same body shape and blood type, so she was used as a substitute. I just confirmed with the forensic doctor that Shiori lost her right little finger due to an accident when she was young."

"That charred corpse doesn't have a right little finger?"

"Yes. She deliberately sent the suicide note to the police. After killing Shizhi, she poured gasoline on her body and burned it together with the family. Her younger brother Junyi parked illegally on the road to delay the arrival of the fire truck. All to burn the body beyond recognition! He parked the car on the road and went to the police station to create an alibi. In this way, the inheritance will all belong to the younger brother."

Then the two share the benefits equally...the people who are no longer alive can't be tracked down, so they can get away with it and live a life without fear of scarcity.A chill went down Goto's spine, something so appalling is disgusting, we are lower than cockroaches!

However, they were put together again.No matter how advanced the scientific search methods are, the police do not have the budget, time and labor to carry out DNA identification on every case; when the evidence is collected to a certain extent, everything is over.This was a very abrupt blind spot, so she deliberately sent a suicide note to the police.

"This is terrible! Let's track down Emiko's whereabouts."

"It's too late."

"Too late?"

"Shiori sent a letter to that guy before she died."

"The letter you just mentioned?"

"That's right, and Emiko noticed it too."

"why?"

"It's a diary. Shiori has a habit of keeping a diary, and that diary is now in the hands of Emiko Garten."

"!"

He knew the reason for Yakumo's rage.There is only one miscalculation in this plan, and that is the letter left by Shiori.

"So where is she now? I'll send someone to her."

"After she called me just now, the phone was hung up suddenly!" Yakumo said weakly.

Would this cold-blooded animal be worried about someone like a normal person?What an eye-opener.But he must never let anything take away from him, no matter what happens, he will help Yakumo.A strong urge drives Goto.

"Stop procrastinating! Go!"

Goto sprints to his car, too early to give up.

TWENTY

I was stuffed into the back seat of the car, and I felt the cold knife's touch on my throat. As long as I moved a little, the knife could cut my throat.I have seen this man holding a knife against me before. On the day I dreamed of Shiori, we met at the entrance of the apartment. Maybe he has been looking for an opportunity to kill himself since then, but what is his purpose?

What appeared to be a woman was in the driver's seat, but I couldn't see her face clearly.A slightly permed hair looks very fluffy, and the car is filled with the smell of lotion.

"Where are you taking me?"

I focused all my energy on the trembling throat and asked, but neither of them answered.

The car came to a stop at a red light, and the woman in the driver's seat leaned over to the back seat and grinned, showing her teeth yellowed from smoking.

"That's right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet! Haruka."

"My name is Emiko Garten, and he is Junichi Garten." The woman in the driver's seat said.

I'm not surprised at all.

"Looking at you like that, you really know everything."

"..."

"That's right, theoretically I should be dead."

Emiko caressed my hair, which made me feel a chill. I couldn't feel any truth from Emiko's words. If she really wouldn't do me any harm, she shouldn't have reported her name.

"As for us, we are looking for a letter, should that letter be sent to you?"

"Yes." I said.

"Tell me, where is that letter?"

"Before then," I asked, "what places have you been looking for?"

"Although I'm rude to you, we have already searched your room."

"...I see," I sighed melancholy, "what a pity, it looks like I didn't find it."

Emiko stretched out her hand and slapped me again, and I deliberately fell down on the seat with force, pretending to make painful jjj.

A horn sounded from the rear, and the traffic signal turned green, and Emiko started the car with a gasp.

I did not do nothing while I was away, I sent the original of the letter to the police station and took the copy with me.

That's why I said to Yakumo, 'It's late. '

Because I did this on purpose, although the criminal can be found by relying on the police to trace, but that is undoubtedly too slow for me.

At an angle where neither of them could see, I smiled lightly.

Although they got in the car, where should they go next?It won't help if they just run around like headless chickens. Where should they search to find Haruka?hateful!what to do?Goto was speechless.

"Mr. Goto, you once said that Kenichi Garten's parents left some land for him, right?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"What is the current condition of those lands?"

What is he thinking at this time?Goto looked at Yakumo's side face, his expression was serious and dignified.

"There is a house that has burned down, and it seems to be in Shizuoka and Nagano, and there is another place in the urban area, which seems to be an apartment under construction."

"That's right there." Yakumo asserted firmly.

"really?"

Although Goto had every doubt in his heart, he had no other choice. He slammed on the accelerator and kicked up a burst of mud, and then drove away.

"They must get the letter no matter what, so they will find a place off the beaten track to press for the whereabouts of the letter."

"I see……"

If the judgment is wrong, it will be too late. Even if Emiko can be brought to justice, it will not change the fact that there is an additional corpse.But now I can only trust Yakumo's judgment completely, maybe Yakumo is more anxious than himself.

"I'm going to speed up! Hurry up!"

Goto sounded the siren and stepped on the accelerator.

Emiko Garto drove the van into the apartment building site under construction. The main body of the building was almost completed, and only the interior decoration remained.

Exactly as I expected.

The car passed the small road between the two buildings, drove to the back and came to the entrance of the basement.Enter the basement along the duress, turn left after going downhill, and the car stops at the end.The only source of light is the headlights of the van.

I was grabbed by Junichi and dragged out of the car. Emiko operated what seemed to be a switch on the wall, and there was a sound of electric motor and metal friction, and the iron rolling door seemed to be closed.In this way, finding a parking lot becomes a closed space completely.

"In this way, it will be our small space~" Kato Emiko said cheerfully, "Little sister, how do you want me to treat you?"

"Hmm..." I pretended to be contemplative, "How about a cup of tea?" I raised my head and smiled, "Why should women make things difficult for women?"

If I die, at this time I suddenly have such a thought, will that guy be sad for me?

Tsk, it's a pity that I couldn't see the expression at that time.

"I hope there will be time..." Goto murmured, his forehead sweated a lot from anxiety.

"Please make sure to catch up."

"Hey, it's easy for you to say."

"Even you find it difficult?"

This guy still doesn't know how to restrain his mouth at a time like this.

"easy."

Goto
