[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

Taking a sober look at what he has done is too heavy a reality to sum up his crime with just one sentence, "in the wrong way."

Can Kinoshita take it?No, he must bear it, this is the only way he can go, and he must use the rest of his life to atone for his sins.Some people wonder if Kinoshita will commit suicide?But Hatake isn't worried.For a person who believes in the existence of a soul, it is a matter of course that physical death does not represent liberation.

Whether a person is dead or alive, as long as he exists, he must think about certain things.As long as the soul exists, it cannot be released by death.

"Hey, Dad!"

Goto suddenly opened the door and came in.After finally getting quiet, the loudest man came again.

"What's up?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to visit Ishii, I was almost caught by Ideuchi, so I hid here temporarily."

Perhaps because he was too tired these days, Goto looked thinner.

"It seems that you have worked hard enough."

"Hmph! You can also sympathize with others, it's not like your style at all."

Goto said disdainfully, then lit a cigarette.

"By the way, what happened to that man?"

Hatake asked about the only thing he couldn't figure out in this incident, and that was the man wearing sunglasses.

"Huh! What else? The only person who has seen him is Kinoshita, let alone his profession. Kinoshita doesn't even know his name, age, or address. The people above think that that person was from the very beginning. does not exist."

Goto couldn't hide his anxious personality when he spoke.

"Who the hell is he?"

"He is Yakumo's father."

"really."

Hatake wasn't overly surprised, he knew that the man was the man with red eyes who appeared in the murder incident where the insurance money was fraudulently claimed.He didn't think there was anyone else in the world with those fiery red eyes.

"However, what is his purpose?"

"He's just enjoying it, watching everyone being played around by him."

"It's hard to deal with."

"It's not just Kinoshita, Yakumo and I are just playing tricks to that man."

Goto was right.That man probably doesn't have any feelings for anyone! !Even for his own son Yakumo.

"What should I do next?"

"What else can I do? We can only wait for the other party to take the initiative. I will never let him escape this time!"

Goto clenched his fists.It seems that this will be a long-term resistance war, Hatake thought so.

Before going to visit Ishii, Yakumo and I went to the Minato Bureau.

"Are you okay?"

As soon as we arrived at the entrance, Endo in the office opened the door to us and asked.Endo, who had a bandage around his head, was also injured in the incident.On the way here, I heard Yakumo talk about Endo being hit on the head with a brick by Dr. Kinoshita.

"Mr. Endo, I have something to ask you."

Yakumo said with a blank face.Only then did Endo feel something was wrong, and his amiable smile froze on his face.

Yakumo entered the office silently, and I followed behind him.

"Is there a problem."

Endo asked Yakumo to sit on the chair opposite him.

"No need, I'll just stand."

Yakumo put his hand in the pocket of his coat and stood directly in front of Endo.This unusual atmosphere made me feel a little old, and I stood about a step away from the two of them.

"What's the matter?"

Endo urged.

"I apologize in advance, because what I'm going to say next is entirely my own speculation, without any evidence."

Although it was speculation, Yakumo's tone was very firm.

"What's up."

Endo urged Yakumo to continue talking.

"Then I'll just say it straight. I think you killed Ando."

Endo raised the corners of his mouth and smiled calmly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"After Dr. Kinoshita was arrested, I still had many doubts in my heart, so I re-investigated."

"And then? What did you find?"

Endo took out a cigarette from his breast pocket, and said while lighting it, with an overly calm attitude.

"Yes. First, Ando died in a car accident. According to eyewitness testimony, Ando staggered and rushed to the intersection of red lights, but he was not drunk and was not chased by anyone. In that case , then why did he rush onto the road inexplicably?"

"I don't know that."

Endo shook his head exaggeratedly.

"Isn't it a coincidence that I found your name on the list of witnesses?"

"Oh, I was actually there at the time. It's just a common coincidence, why did it turn out that I killed him?"

Endo laughed so hard that the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes wrinkled as if he had heard a big joke.

"It was you who counted the timing and pushed Ando from behind."

"Why would I do such a thing, I have no reason to do it?"

"Of course you have a reason, because Ando is the murderer who killed Ayaka."

"You mean, I already knew who the murderer was."

"That's right."

Facing Endo's question, Yakumo answered without changing his face.

"Although you say this is just guesswork, you seem to be sure of it!"

"I have repeatedly read the information about the whole incident. The place where Ayaka was killed was at the old water gate, which is relatively upstream, but the place where the body was found was this water gate. Why do you think this is?"

"Because her body was washed up here from upstream, wasn't it?"

Endo stared at the ceiling, thought for a while before answering, his voice sounded a little trembling.

"No, if she was washed up here from the upper reaches, then her body should have some scars, but she didn't have many scars on her body. She was killed at the old water gate, and Ando wanted to hide his It was a crime to leave Ayaka's body here."

"I see, but what does it have to do with me knowing who the murderer is?"

Endo tilted his head in bewilderment and asked.

"Of course it does. When Ayaka was dumped here, she was sunk in the river with heavy objects tied to her ankles. It stands to reason that she sank to the bottom of the river immediately. If no one saw the corpse passing by , it should be impossible to find her body so soon.”

"Your imagination is really rich."

Endo kept nodding with admiration, but in my eyes it was just acting.

"In 'My Imagining', you must have accidentally seen someone throw something into the river from a little distance away, and then walked to the river to see that it was Ayaka's body. Of course you saw it The face of the murderer, or find Ando with the car. Of course, you will not tell the police what you saw, for revenge, you have to find the murderer with your own hands.”

Endo started laughing out loud.

"It's so wonderful! You are so good! Even Detective Colombo (the detective in the American TV series) is willing to bow down! However, to say that I am deliberately seeking revenge for my friend's dead child It will cause an uproar in the society.”

"That's right, if it's a friend's child."

Having said that, Yakumo temporarily shut his mouth, he stared at Endo for a while and then continued.

"There is something I want to return to you today."

"Is there anything you want to pay me back?"

Yakumo took out a black manual from his pocket and handed it to Endo.

"This is"

The indifferent expression just now disappeared from Endo's face.

"This is what I saw you drop when I met you by the river."

This is the brochure at that time. There are two photos in it, one is Ayaka, and the other is Endo and a woman.

"I did some research. The woman next to you is Dr. Kinoshita's deceased wife, also Ayaka's mother."

Endo gripped the manual tightly and said nothing.

"She seems to have dated you before she and Dr. Kinoshita got married. I don't know what happened between you, and I don't intend to pursue it, but I think you keep Ayaka's photo with you all the time to prove your love Ayaka's affection is beyond that of a friend."

Endo was silent, but his silence seemed to confirm Yakumo's guess.

"Why do you doubt me?"

"When I met you for the first time, you said 'I will never forgive the murderer who killed Ayaka', and your tone seemed to be over."

"But even if these are true, what you said is nothing more than your own conjecture."

"You're right, this is all my speculation, I don't have any evidence."

Yakumo's reaction was completely beyond Endo's expectation, and Endo's mouth opened and closed, unable to speak.

"I'm not a policeman, so I don't have the right to arrest you, and I don't plan to tell the police about this. It's up to you to decide what to do."

So why did Yakumo come here specially, I can't understand his thoughts.

"I just hope you don't forget that there are innocent people charged with wrongful death as a result of Ando's accident."

Yakumo spoke slowly, I finally understood Yakumo's purpose, and it was up to Endo to make a decision, and his decision would determine the fate of the driver who caused the accident.

"Let's go!"

Yakumo quickly left the office after speaking.I followed behind Yakumo.

Ishii lay on the bed and recalled what happened this time. He had plenty of time and thought about it hundreds of times, but he still didn't quite understand.He strongly felt that this incident seemed to happen in a different dimension world.

Knock, knock!Ishii heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The second after Ishii finished speaking, suddenly appeared
