[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

The woman in this photo is his daughter Satoko. "

"Are you trading credits?"

"It's rare that you are so smart."

Yakumo leaned back in his chair proudly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Even so, my own level will not change."

"Whispering!" Yakumo stared at me dissatisfied. "Do you think everyone else is a foreign language monster like you?"

"It's just talent, but it seems that you still care about this aspect."

"I'm going to graduate too!" Yakumo shouted loudly.I purposely plugged my ears with my fingers, making a "noisy" look.

"Young people these days are so grumpy. Just look at them and you'll know. Are you calcium deficient?"

"I'm not grumpy, but you are too wordy!"

"Okay, okay, let's take it as it is." I said in a coaxing way.

Just when Yakumo was frantic and wanted to continue to say something.

"Sorry to bother you two flirting."

The door was suddenly opened.A huge man like a bear walked in.It's Officer Goto.

"Since you know you're bothering others, please go back now."

Yakumo immediately retorted.Goto's face, which was slightly larger than the average person's, froze for a moment, but then returned to its original expression. Sitting on the chair beside me, the chair made a "creaking" sound.

"Haruka. Long time no see! Are you still dating this weird guy? If you don't break off with him sooner, you'll be alone for the rest of your life!"

"I want to state in advance that it's not my responsibility that this guy is nobody, but her personality problem."

Yakumo interrupted immediately.

As I said so, I don't know who the jealous guy is every time I see a man next to me.

"Uh, Officer Goto"

At some point, a man stood in front of the door and spoke in trepidation.The line of the man's face is quite delicate, although it exudes a kind of intellectuality, it also gives people a feeling of nervousness.Wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit with a neat triangle knot in his tie, he looks so different from Goto that perhaps we should say we're making the wrong comparison.

"This is" Yakumo asked.

"Oh, he's my subordinate, Ishii."

Goto pointed to the man behind him and said.

"My surname is Ishii."

Ishii bowed politely, he and Goto were the complete opposite type.Yakumo nodded slightly, and for some reason I nodded too.

"Are you Mr. Goto's subordinate? For your sake, I advise you to transfer as soon as possible."

"Reassignment?"

Yakumo's sudden words made Ishii unconsciously whisper in a nervous tone.

"If you stay with Mr. Goto for a long time, your brain will gradually turn into fat, and then you will lose your ability to think. You are like a wild beast. Before it's too late, get transferred!"

"Whose brains are you calling fat!"

Goto roared.Ishii was completely confused about the situation in front of him, but he still watched from the sidelines with trepidation.This is also understandable, anyone who suddenly sees such a scene of you coming and going will feel very confused.

"What kind of trouble did you bring this time?"

Yakumo asked the emotional Goto in a calm tone.

"Oh! That's right! You really know that this is a troublesome thing!"

"Other than that, you didn't come to see me, did you?"

"Well, it seems so. Actually, I'd like you to come somewhere with me."

Goto didn't look guilty at all. I don't think I can learn from his attitude of making a 180-degree change in an instant.

"sure!"

"Oh, really?"

Yakumo readily agreed, and Goto couldn't help showing a surprised expression.This is also understandable, because the usual Yakumo should have no cynicism.

"What's the matter, you asked me to do it yourself! However, let me cancel the favor I owed you last time."

"I know!"

Goto pursed his lips and smiled.Ishii stood upright, staring at the two people back and forth in a daze. It seems that Goto must not have explained anything to him.

"But not today."

"Why? I was going to take you there now!"

"There is a trouble that came to the door first."

Yakumo said while pointing at me with his chin.I nodded silently.

"However," I said slowly, "I'm not in such a hurry, so please go ahead, Officer Goto."

"The cause of death of No. 1 deceased Ayaka was as described in the previous report. It was suffocated due to compression of the neck, and No. 2 deceased Miho was drowned. Although the causes of death are different, the common point is that these two The deceased’s right ankle had traces of being bound with a rope. But until now, nothing left by the murderer has been found.”

Hatake read the report word by word in his hand, and he didn't like to speak in front of people.

In a meeting with at least fifty people, no one raised any questions.Hatake thought to himself, if he just wanted to read the report according to the script, there is no need to specially invite him, who is a forensic doctor, to attend this meeting, right?

"Next, how is the investigation going?"

In response to Hijikata's question on the podium, Ideuchi stood up.

"We are currently searching the surrounding area of ​​the crime scene, and we have not obtained any key clues yet. The No.1 victim Ayaka Kinoshita, the No.2 victim Matsumoto Miho, and Kato Keiko, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, are the three of them. All of them disappeared on the way out of school. We speculate that the murderer may be looking for a target near the school. Therefore, we will focus on the area near the school in the future to investigate the clues of witnesses. Among criminals with previous convictions."

Not just fingerprints.Not even a hair has been detected, and now we can only rely on eyewitnesses to provide clues.

"In addition, we will thoroughly re-investigate the daily life of the victim regarding whether there is a possibility of the victim girl having social assistance or being involved in related incidents."

Hearing the word "helping people" that doesn't quite fit with junior high school students, Hatake suddenly felt a little emotional.A few years ago, most of the people engaged in aid communication were high school students, but in recent years, the age group has been reduced to junior high school students.

"Then what about the issue with the victim's family? Yesterday Miho's father said in an interview on TV that the police had nothing to say to the victim's family."

The speech made by the chief of the earthworks caused a lot of discussion in the audience.Hatake also saw the interview, while the victim's father angrily scolded the police.The mother squatted on the ground and sobbed.The loss of a beloved daughter is by no means temporary, and the pain will continue to erode the family in the days to come.Hatake thought this in his heart.

In any case, it is impossible to identify a suspect without knowing the motive of the murderer.There is no sign of sexual assault on the victimized girl, so investigate those who have a criminal record or use the clue of social assistance to investigate.There should be no progress.So, what is the murderer's purpose?

This will be a long struggle!Hatake thought to himself.

"A woman appears to be possessed by a ghost."

After Haruka left, Officer Goto said with a serious face.

"Why are the police involved in this kind of incident? When did you start to accept the existence of ghosts?"

"No, the police wouldn't have done anything about it."

"why?"

"Because it was the police chief's daughter who was possessed."

"Officer Goto! How can you leak the contents of the investigation to ordinary people!"

Ishii let out a groan, and Goto covered his mouth involuntarily.

"Shut your mouth and drive quietly!"

"But, but..."

"He's different."

Goto continued speaking domineeringly.

"Because the chief's wife is very worried about her daughter, she has invited a psychic to take a look, but the psychic seems to have been scared away."

"They want to find a solution before the wind leaks, right?"

"That's it."

"It seems that you have been called around as a handyman."

"Hey, hey! Who do you think caused this!"

Goto turned around.Yelling at the backseat, Yakumo still acted like he had nothing to do with him.

"Don't forget, last time it was because of your poor driving skills, which has nothing to do with me."

"You brat! Get you out of the car!"

"I do not mind."

Yakumo deliberately grinned.

Goto stands in front of a house.It is only a 10-minute drive from the station. It is located at the entrance of a long residential street. The wooden doors are particularly eye-catching among the houses sold by builders.This is a luxury house that ordinary office workers can't afford with all their life savings.

"Tsk! How dare you use people's tax money to build such a magnificent house!"

Goto kicked the ground and said.

"The existence of Mr. Goto is a waste of people's tax money."

"What did you say!"

Goto was about to refute, but stopped immediately.If you want to bite this guy back, you might break your own teeth first.

"Sorry, I'm late! I accidentally got lost on the road."

Ishii, who had just parked the car, ran towards the two of them.Really, why bother to find a parking space, just park on the side of the road!

"Too slow! Where have you been fooling around?"

Goto vented on Ishii the anger brewing from his conversation with Yakumo.

"It's true that I'm a bit slow, but it takes 10 minutes to walk to the nearest parking lot. Plus it's my first time here, so it's understandable to get lost accidentally, right?"

"Okay, okay, okay! I get it, there's no need to say any more. Let's go!"

Yakumo deliberately provoked
