[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

There is no response.

Ishii couldn't comprehend the situation in front of him at all.Before Ishii and others came to Mami's residence, Makoto used her mobile phone to contact Mami; although their communication was interrupted on the way to the elevator, it took less than 30 seconds from the interruption of the phone call to their arrival at Mami's residence.

After they came to Mami's residence, Ishii left for a while to borrow the key, but Makoto and Kamiyama stayed at the door, so of course it was impossible for anyone to break into the door, and it was impossible for anyone to come out of the door.

"Mami disappeared..."

Makoto fell to the ground.

How can it be!The phone was clearly connected just now, wasn't it?Ishii denied that impossible thought, and looked around the room without giving up.

The key to the room is placed on the table, and the floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the balcony are also locked from the inside.Bathrooms, closets and ceilings have no room to hide.

Ishii's hopes were dashed.

This situation represents... a woman disappeared from the room forming the Chamber of Secrets...

How could such a thing happen?This is ridiculous!

"If only I found out sooner..."

Shen Shan bit his lower lip, with a remorseful expression.Would it be nice to find out sooner?What is he saying?As if Kamiyama wanted to answer Ishii's question, he continued.

"The one who follows Mami is not a floating spirit, but a self-bound spirit with strong and deep hatred..."

spirit?In other words, this is a good thing that ghosts did...

Officer Goto, come and save me!

47

Goto drove to the apartment that Ishii said.This apartment is divided into many small suites oriented for personal living, and because it is barely built on the narrow land, it forms a strange shape.

Goto asked the administrator to unlock the door's automatic lock and board the elevator.

"That guy, how dare you call me out at this kind of time."

Goto muttered looking up at the ceiling.

Ishii usually looks cowering, but his frightened look on the phone seems unusual.Ishii kept saying something inexplicable, such as people disappearing and evil spirits haunting him.

Goto went to a room on the seventh floor and rang the doorbell, and it was the reporter lady who opened the door!

"Oh, you're involved too, aren't you?"

Makoto just nodded slightly.What's wrong?What's the matter everyone?Why does everyone have the face of returning from a funeral?Goto walked through the entrance and entered the house full of dissatisfaction.

With his mouth open, Ishii sat in front of the table in the center of the room like an ornament.

"Hey, what happened? Tell me clearly!"

Goto tapped Ishii's head lightly.Usually Ishii would yell in a plaintive voice, "Why did you hit me?" But now he just raised his head very slowly and looked at Goto.

How is it now?The atmosphere is chaotic and weird, what happened!

"Who will explain the current situation!"

Goto yelled.

A figure suddenly appeared from the floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the balcony.It was a man in a black suit with long hair.

"Let me explain!"

The man said.This guy is kind of like that guy.The figure of Yakumo's father flashed across Goto's mind, and his body froze for a moment.

"is it okay?"

The man spoke again to Goto who did not respond.

"Ah! It doesn't matter. But who are you?"

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet." The man smiled embarrassedly, patted himself on the head, and handed out a business card to Goto.

The name card reads: Psychic medium, Kamiyama Eiji.A criminal policeman, a newspaper reporter and a psychic, what kind of combination is this?

"I'm from the Criminal Division..."

"Is it Officer Goto?"

Kamiyama continued Goto's words.Why does he know my name?Goto thought.

"Ishii-san told me earlier."

Kamiyama replied as if he had read through Goto's inner question.This guy is really annoying!Although Goto thought so in his heart, he still wanted Shenshan to continue talking.The first thing to do is to confirm what is happening in front of you.

"Today, the owner of the house, Mami-san, talked to me about the supernatural phenomenon that happened at home. Mami-san and Makoto-san seem to be college classmates. The three of us came here this evening to investigate the supernatural phenomenon."

Shenshan's indifferent and methodical explanation is completely different from Ishii's.Goto glanced at Makoto who was standing in a corner of the room, and Makoto nodded silently as if affirming what Kamiyama said.

"and then?"

It seemed that he would talk for a long time, so Goto sat cross-legged on the floor, lit a cigarette and urged Kamiyama to continue talking.

"At that time, I didn't discover the existence of spirits, so I left first. But Miss Mami called me an hour ago, and she said that she had discovered a supernatural phenomenon again, and asked me to rescue her. When I hurried here, it happened to be in I met Makoto-san and Ishii-san at the gate."

"Ishii, why are you with Miss Reporter?"

Goto glared at Ishii.Ishii was so frightened that his shoulders trembled, he wanted to explain something but couldn't.

"Officer Goto, I'm going to talk to Mr. Ishii about the supernatural phenomenon."

Makoto interjected.Goto no longer questioned why Makoto went to Ishii to discuss it.

"and then?"

"When I was looking for Mr. Ishii, I just received a call from Mami asking for help, so..."

"I see. Where did the owner of this room who asked you for help go?"

"She disappeared..."

Ishii spoke suddenly.

"Idiot! Show me some seriousness!"

Goto scolded loudly and patted Ishii on the head hard.

"No, what Mr. Ishii said is true."

Shenshan said decisively.This guy is so shameless in front of the police!

"Stop talking stupid things!"

"No, what Mr. Kamiyama said is true."

Even the lady reporter is as clueless as they are.

"How can people disappear out of thin air!"

"But it's true. Ms. Makoto asked Mami-san to open the door through the walkie-talkie at the gate. While we were waiting for the elevator, Mami-san also used her mobile phone to contact Makoto-san. Although we were on the way to the elevator, the phone was cut off, but we came to the room. The door was locked when it was in front."

Shenshan continued to explain.No, Shenshan must not be allowed to continue talking. How can a policeman be at the mercy of a person who claims to be a psychic?

"What is the real situation?"

Ishii was almost at a loss for words, so Goto asked Makoto instead.

"What Mr. Kamiyama said is true."

Makoto's answer completely betrayed Goto's expectations.

"This is ridiculous!"

"Afterwards, I asked Mr. Ishii to borrow a backup key from the administrator. After we opened the door and walked in, we found that Mami had disappeared..."

After finishing speaking, Makoto handed something wrapped in a handkerchief to Goto.Goto took it, opened the handkerchief, and found that it was a foldable mobile phone, and it was stained with red and black spots.No, these are bloodstains.There is still a bloodstain on the mobile phone.

Is what they say true?Goto stood up and looked around at the faces of all the people present, hoping that no one would be able to bear this bad joke first and laugh.However, everyone is annoyed.

"What about the key to the house? Maybe she's just going out for a trip?"

"The key..."

Makoto looked at the table, and on the table was a key with a dog-like and cat-like charm.It was a cylindrical, hard-to-duplicate key with a handmade label with the name of the apartment on it.

"Perhaps she went out through the window!"

"Impossible, the floor-to-ceiling windows are also locked from the house."

Makoto denied Goto's speculation.

"Also, even if she got to the balcony from the French windows, this is the seventh floor, so it's impossible for her to jump from such a height! I just confirmed that the balcony here is not connected to the one next door."

Kamiyama's explanation has more of a detective's attitude than Ishii's.That being the case, there should be other possibilities. It is impossible for a good person to disappear for no reason.

"Maybe someone came here and took her away while you were taking the elevator."

"It took less than 30 seconds from the time Mami hung up the phone until we came here. Officer Goto should understand that 30 seconds is not enough time for a person to take someone away from here without our detection."

Shenshan replied in his usual tone.Kamiyama might not have meant that, but his tone seemed to be mocking him in Goto's ears.

"Shut up! You are just eliminating all possibilities! If I were to tell you, you are the most suspicious person! You are almost all psychic mediums!"

"makes sense."

Shenshan's reaction was completely beyond Goto's expectation, but Goto was at a loss for words for a while.

"Just like Officer Goto said, there are indeed many psychics who are liars, especially the psychics who belong to a certain religion are even more suspicious. Because whether it is Buddhism or Christianity, it is denied that the soul of the dead will wander The thoughts of the world."

Is this guy denying himself?What game is he playing?

"Then what about you?"

"I don't belong to any religion, but as a 'psychic', I may be a liar in a sense!"

"What's the meaning?"

"My method of removing spirits is very different from most mediums."

"What's the difference? You're not all the same!"

"No. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I don't use spells or chant incantations to drive away undead."

"Then what method do you use?"

"I was born with a constitution of yin and yang eyes. Through dialogue with the soul, find out where the soul stays
