[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

For the first time in my life, I saw such a terrible thing.

Ishii was careful not to make any sound, and approached Makoto step by step.Just put her in the wheelchair next to the bed and take her away.He kept telling himself it wasn't hard at all.

Yukii put his hands into Makoto's armpits, just as he was about to pull her up.Makoto opened her eyes and woke up.He woke her up!

Ishii's whole body was stiff, and Makoto twisted her body violently, biting Ishii's wrist tightly.

"Wow ah ah ah ah!"

Yakumo and I came to the river, where it is no different from the day before yesterday.Only calm water.I recalled what Yakumo said before, this is where the girl's body was found, so Mr. Endo of the Watergate Management Bureau asked me to be careful.

Yakumo stood silently on the same rock he stood on the day before yesterday, looking out at the river, his squinted eyes must have seen something that only he could see.

The scene I saw in the water that day came back to my mind again. What did the girl mean by "Papa, stop"?What did she wish her father would stop doing?

Soon Yakumo returned to the shore with a dignified expression.

"How about it?"

"I understand a few things."

"What's up?"

"There is indeed a girl's soul wandering in the river, but the question is, why did she stay there?"

When I was pulled into the river, I could feel the emotions of girls other than that girl flowing into my body. It was not hatred or resentment, but some kind of emotion full of sadness, but I couldn't say it.

"There's something holding her here," I said.

"There's a strong emotion keeping her here. Is it her father?"

The last sentence, Yakumo seems to be talking to himself, maybe even he hasn't figured it out yet!No one can draw conclusions so easily.

"Miss, are you alright?"

As soon as I turned around, I saw a man in overalls.I've seen him before, and he's Mr. Endo who saved himself.

"Thank you for saving me a few days ago, I'm sorry for coming so late to thank you."

I saluted methodically.

"I just want you to be careful. You fell into the river, but you are safe."

Endo said with a smile on his face, his smile seemed to disarm others.

"I really don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, is this your boyfriend next to you?"

Endo found Yakumo nearby, so he asked.

"My sister is causing you trouble, I'm so sorry! She's more offline than the average person."

Yakumo saluted.Tsk tsk, this guy is being arrogant again.

"Hey, it's my brother! You really don't look like one."

Of course not, we are not even the slightest blood relationship.

"Anyway, you have to be careful not to fall again."

Endo laughed.When he was about to leave, Yakumo suddenly stopped him.

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Does Dr. Kinoshita come here often?"

A surprised expression suddenly appeared on Endo's face, he sighed and then spoke.

"I used to come here about once a week. Once, their father and daughter came here for a walk and invited me to have dinner together. The dishes made by Ayaka are very similar to her mother, and they are delicious. Eating the dishes made by her is really my life. pleasure."

"Have you known Dr. Kinoshita before?"

"That's right! Kinoshita and I are junior high school classmates. He not only became a doctor, but also married our idol!"

Endo laughed self-deprecatingly.

"That's it!"

"I also play with Ayaka a lot, especially after his wife passed away, and I often say stupid things to Kinoshita, like: 'This child has no mother, so let two fathers raise me!' I'm not Just kidding, but I really treat her as my own daughter."

Endo blew his nose, took a towel from the pocket of his overalls, and wiped his face vigorously.

"Could it be the one who found Nishika's body?"

Yakumo spoke while watching Endo's reaction.

"Yes, I don't know if it's fate, but I was the one who found her."

Endo took a deep breath.

"Where was her body found?"

"Ah, isn't there a management tower in the middle of the river?"

Endo pointed to a concrete tower in the middle of the river. There is a square building on the tower. There is a walkway about one meter wide around the building, surrounded by iron railings, and an iron bridge connects it to the management office.

"It's right under there, I found it when I went to monitor the water level."

"Oh."

"I will never forgive the murderer who killed me!"

The conversation stops here.I looked at the floating river.

After a while, Endo felt that he seemed to be talking too much, so he smiled wryly, jumped into the pickup truck parked nearby and drove away.

I think Endo's affection for Ayaka seems to have surpassed that of "friend's daughter".

"I always feel sorry for him."

"The loss of the most important person cannot be simply described in one sentence."

Yakumo said.I, who lost my sister, also know it very well.That sense of loss is not temporary, it haunts those who are left behind.

"Is it really her father?"

Yakumo thoughtfully said the same words as before, and I was about to ask the meaning of Yakumo's words, Yakumo happened to find something at his feet, he bent down to pick it up and stared at it, it was A book like a manual.

"This is"

"It must have been dropped by Endo-san, right?"

Yakumo opened the manual, and I peeked at it.

Open the manual, and there are two photos on the left and right pages of the first page. One is Mr. Endo, who is ten years younger than now, and a woman of his age, and the other is a photo of Ayaka.

"Could it be"

Yakumo seems to feel something, I am waiting for Yakumo's next words.

"Hey! You are indeed here."

Unfortunately, someone was yelling on the breakwater, and it was Goto running all the way towards us.

"Don't scream from so far away."

Yakumo deliberately plugged his ears with his hands.

"I kicked you into the river?"

"Please."

"You bastard?"

Goto gritted his teeth angrily, Yakumo just said that because he was sure he couldn't do it.

"Is everything ready?"

"Everything is ready, I only owe you the wind!"

"Then let's go!"

Yakumo put the manual just now into his pocket.

"Shall I go too?"

Goto asked.

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"Maybe you can see something interesting!"

Goto blinked and gave me a clumsy wink.

I, Goto and Yakumo came to the dissecting room in the basement.

There is no window here, Zheng Xiaoyang placed a bed covered with marble, beside the bed there is a sandalwood surface lined with surgical instruments, which are placed at right angles to the bed.

In the corner of the wall is a row of doors that look like a large refrigerator. I've seen it in a movie. That should be where the corpses are stored, right?

The temperature inside was so much colder than outside that it gave me goosebumps.I followed Goto just now when he said, "You can see interesting Tsusai", but now I'm starting to regret it.

"Are you scared?"

Yakumo asked me.

"Don't be afraid," I said.

"Oh, everyone is here!"

A thin old man in a white robe stepped out of the dissecting room.

"He's Mr. Hatake the forensic doctor."

Goto introduced me.

"Hello."

I bowed to Hatake, but Hatake ignored me.

"Mr. Hatake, what about that thing?"

Hatake smiled triumphantly at Yakumo's question.Why does this old man look like a vampire?

Hatake opened a freezer and pulled out a sliding bed.

On the bed lay the corpse of a male with a sizable scar running from his left forehead to the bridge of his nose.

Yakumo approached the bed with a blank expression, and pulled up the white cloth covering his neck.

Below the neck is the body of the mannequin.

"This is the masterpiece of that perverted dad. The face is made to look real, but it's just a rubber."

Goto added.

"Is this fake?"

But it is so delicate that it is difficult to tell the truth.

"As expected of Hatake-san."

"It's going to bother me to make a fuss about such a small thing!"

Hatake said triumphantly.He took what looked like a remote from his pocket, and flipped a switch.At this moment, the area around the mannequin's chest began to rise and fall continuously, as if a person was breathing.

"As long as you cover it with a white cloth, you won't be able to tell the difference."

Yakumo said, Hatake nodded.

"That's right, it's a modified mannequin for practicing CPR, and"

Hatake pressed another button this time, and the face suddenly moved.

"Wow! I didn't expect to be able to do this!"

Yakumo made a sound of admiration.

"Your hobby is too scary!"

Goto said disdainfully, but Hatake didn't care, he smiled happily like a child whose homework was praised by the teacher.

"Goto-san, what about that thing?"

"Oh!"

Goto took out a cage with a white mouse in it from under the table next to the bed.

"mouse?"

This unexpected thing made me raise my eyebrows in surprise.

"That's right! Although rats don't have to be used as the container of the soul, there are many experimental mice in the research building of the nearby university, so I accepted it."

Yakumo explained to me.

No, what I want to know is, what are you trying to do with the rats?

It's just that before I could ask a question, they started working on it.Goto placed the mouse cage next to the man, and Yakumo covered the man's neck with a white cloth.

"These preparations
