[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

"At this stage, it's nothing... by the way, Ishii-san."

Goto looked around like Yakumo, but he didn't see Ishii's figure.

"Strange? Mr. Ishii?"

Yakumo raised his voice and called out again, but there was still no response.That bastard was so scared that he hid outside the door!

"Hey! Ishii!"

Goto roared with a loud voice that could almost shake the sky, and at the same time, there was a sound of "click, click" footsteps, and Ishii suddenly poked his head out.

"Did you call me?"

This idiot!

"Mr. Ishii, you did lock the room when you entered it, didn't you?"

"Yes, the door and the French windows to the balcony are locked."

"Where was the owner's key?"

"Just put it on the table."

In other words, a secret room was completely formed here.

"No one came out of the house either?"

"Well, then, just like now, all three of them were in this room, and I don't think it's possible to leave this room without being discovered."

Yakumo put his fingers between his eyebrows, and his eyes changed accordingly.

"Is that really the case...but in this way she...isn't it..."

Yakumo muttered to himself.

"Do you know what?"

"No, I didn't think of anything."

Yakumo shook his head.

"Liar! Didn't you just say 'it really is like this'!"

Goto corners Yakumo, immobilizing him.

"Hey! Make it clear!"

Goto roared again.

"It's so noisy, you will cause trouble to the neighbors."

"Who told you not to speak clearly!"

"Because I don't have any definite evidence now, what I think of is just one of the possibilities, so this possibility may be wrong. If we act rashly, we will be misled like last time."

This kid still only knows how to speak quickly.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"What else can I do? I can only search step by step from all aspects."

Yakumo said with a big yawn.Although Goto didn't expect to gain much from coming with Yakumo this time, it seemed like a huge boulder weighed on his heart.

"I have no choice but to investigate all relevant people again. Yakumo, you also come to help."

"I do not want."

Yakumo replied without thinking, doesn't he have a more tactful way to refuse?

"Don't you care about this?"

"I care about it, but I'm busy."

"Busy? You are usually just sleeping!"

Yakumo shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

"Really, have you forgotten? I have accepted a commission and haven't resolved it yet."

By the way, it is the ghost of Sawaguchi Rika who committed suicide.It can't be said that this matter has nothing to do with Goto, damn it, things are really getting more and more troublesome

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have expectations of men. 』

I came to the destination - an old wooden residential area.This is the home of the father of the suicide woman, Sawaguchi Rika.Yakumo asked me to pretend to be Li Jia's friend to see the situation of Sawaguchi's house. I repeatedly looked at the note copied from the information in Yakumo's room, and after confirming that the address was correct, I pressed the doorbell.After waiting for a while, there was the sound of the sliding door opening, and an old man with a shaggy white beard poked his head out.

The old man's face gave off a stubborn look, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

"Excuse me, is this the Sawaguchi family?"

The old man nodded silently.

"Ah, hello, I'm Rika's friend, my name is Ozawa Haruka. I just passed by here, so I want to offer incense sticks for Rika..." I said kindly.

Although the old man had sunken eye sockets, he stared at me with sharp eyes.I smiled and looked at him.He smacked his lips after looking at me from head to toe, opened the door completely, and walked into the house with his back to me.

"What is your real purpose?"

After I put the incense sticks together and prayed for blessings, the old man sat cross-legged in front of me and asked.

"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"I haven't seen you." Ignoring my reaction, the old man continued. "I feel restless, Rika...my daughter seems to want me to let you in."

I thought he was Rijia's grandfather, but I didn't expect him to be Rijia's father.In this way, he should be about the same age as my father, but because of the suicide of his daughter and the death of his wife, he aged prematurely.

Uncle's expression is so sad, but since he has been seen through, let's just tell the truth.

"You're right, I don't know Li Jia at all, I'm sorry, I just lied." I said seriously, "Li Jia's soul is haunting the apartment where she committed suicide, we want her to get rid of it, so The reason for Rijia's death must be found out, everything is fine, I hope uncle can tell me what you know, if there is anything left by Rijia, I hope you can lend me a look."

"Is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?"

"That's right, you should not believe me when I tell you this suddenly, and I lied just now..." I paused, and continued, "Perhaps Qianjin... Li Jia didn't commit suicide, Don't you want to know the truth?"

"Of course I want to know the truth, but no one knew it five years ago. Would a little girl like you with unknown background know?"

"I don't know either." I said calmly, "Then, what did the new police officer who interrogated your daughter know?"

"You..." The old man glared at me.

"I'm sorry," I said, "as a woman, I can't just sit idly by. If I choose to stand by today, then if I am the one who encounters this kind of thing, how much can I expect from others? ? I really admire Qianjin's courage, and I want to do what I can for her, that's all." After that, I bowed my head deeply.

"Hey."

I raised my head when I heard the sound.Rijia's father came back into the room and handed me a diary with a red cover.

"what?"

"You take it!"

Rijia's father said coldly, although I was at a loss, I still accepted it.

"what is this?"

"Rika's diary."

"Why did you give me such an important thing?"

"I still don't believe that Li Jia committed suicide. A tragic thing happened to her, but she overcame her psychological barrier and reported the case to the police, so I don't believe that such a strong Li Jia would..."

The pupils deep in the eye sockets of Li Jia's father turned red instantly.

"I still think that Li Jia did not commit suicide, but was killed, but the police officer did not believe what I said, and everyone said that she committed suicide because she was raped/violent. How stupid! Li Jia is not that kind Weak child, you are the first to say that Li Jia may not have committed suicide, so..."

I also understand the next words, and it is for this reason that he gave me this diary. Uncle should have been trying to find out the truth but can't do it!But he still didn't give up. Maybe I was just a stranger to him, but he found a tiny hope in me.

I stood up and saluted him, my head nearly bent to my knees.

I stared at my toes and walked with heavy steps.I did get great results, but the mood was definitely not complacent.This diary is too heavy for me.

As I said just now, the reason why I do this is not because of the so-called pity and sympathy, but to let myself have expectations for others if I encounter the same incident in the future.It would be too sad to be watched indifferently by one's own kind while suffering such humiliation.

"Walk that way and be careful not to fall."

I heard the words and looked to the side.This voice, this intonation, you don't need to confirm who it is.I don't know when Yakumo started walking side by side with me.

"Strange? Are you and Goto-san over there?"

"It's too dangerous to let you do things alone, so I'll take a look at your situation. See if you're kicked out like this!"

Yakumo smiled wryly, and scratched his sleeping hair.I stopped and pushed the diary in my hand to Yakumo's chest.

"What is this?" Yakumo showed unprecedented surprise.

"Rika's diary."

"How did you get it?"

Rika's father's face suddenly appeared in my mind.A father who cannot accept the death of his beloved daughter reminds me of my mother's expression when my sister died, and Dr. Kinoshita's melancholy face in the previous incident.

"Rika's father said that his daughter couldn't commit suicide, but everyone didn't believe him. So I hope this diary can help. Uncle can't accept this result at all, and is suffering alone." While talking, Suddenly tears fell down suddenly, and I found myself sobbing. "Eh, that's weird, I...why am I crying?" I looked at the tears falling on my hands in surprise, but I couldn't stop. The last time I cried...when was it?

"Feel sorry."

Yakumo said in an unusually gentle tone.He put my head on his chest, and I staggered at Yakumo's sudden move.

"It made you uncomfortable."

This awkward man would never be so frank, and his warmth gradually spread to the depths of my heart.I let myself wander in the warmth and cry aloud.

"It's so warm, Yakumo."

50

Thinking about it carefully, the two have known each other for nearly a year, and this is the first time Yakumo has entered my room.Yakumo sat cross-legged, flipping through his diary.I felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

I brought it from the kitchen
