[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

I heard that there was any collision with the car, but I dare not make a judgment. In short, I have to confirm it.When I opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, Tatsuya grabbed my hand and stopped me.

"do not go."

"Why? We have to check the situation."

"It's not my fault, it's a child, a child... He ran out suddenly..."

He clung to my hand desperately, with tears in his eyes.

"Now it's not a question of who is right and who is wrong, we have to call an ambulance quickly."

"No... If I really run over someone, then I can no longer drive, I can't go to college, and my job is over... My parents won't sit idly by... My life is over, please, as long as you don't If you say it..."

This man is as disgusting as his car.I coldly shook off that hand, and his cold gaze made him shiver for a while.

"If it makes you less disgusting, I'd be more than happy." With that, I opened the door and got out of the car.

I thought it would be so dark outside that I couldn't see my fingers. Fortunately, the light from the headlights can still illuminate a certain area to ensure sight.

Trembling, I walked towards the front of the car. I remember that the car seemed to be passing by at such a speed that anyone would fall to the ground under the impact of that speed.When I think of the child lying in a pool of blood, I can't help but flinch.

However, there was nothing on the asphalt except black marks from burnt tires, and no scars on the car's pump.

I checked the front, back, side, and side of the car carefully, but there was nothing suspicious.Maybe Tatsuya misread it?It would be great if this is the case, and this matter can be just laughed off like this.

Da-da-da-da.

here we go again.The sound seemed to be coming from under the car.I bent down to peek under the car, but saw the feet of a child who seemed to be running in the opposite direction.

No way?I got up quickly, but there was no one in front of me; I went around to the other side, and the result was the same.Maybe it's because Tatsuya said that he ran over a child, so he saw the hallucination.

I was about to get back into the car when I looked up at the presence of someone else.

I saw the black, huge semicircular mouth of the tunnel.

There is a female back that should not have existed until just now.

Because I can only see her back, I guess she should be a woman in her late thirties, but because she is wearing a gray suit, I guess so, maybe she is actually younger.The woman didn't move at all, just stood there blankly, her long slightly dyed brown hair swaying in the wind.She is at this kind of time.What does the location do?

"May I ask what's the matter with you?"

Under my questioning, the woman slowly turned around.

There was a deep and long scar between her eyebrows, blood was gurgling, and the white shirt on her chest was dyed bright red.

Not only that, but her right hand seemed to be broken and twisted in an unnatural direction.

"Oops."

It wasn't a child that Tatsuya ran over, but this woman.I ran to her side.

"Are you OK?"

The woman seemed to have never heard of my concern, and she even showed no expression as if she didn't feel the pain.Is her sensory nerve paralyzed?

"I'll call an ambulance right now, anyway, sit down first."

It was the moment when I touched a woman.

Quack quack quack quack quack.

The woman's body had a strong convulsion, "Oh—" she yelled for no reason.

A strong dizziness came, and I closed my eyes and fell to the ground.

What is the situation now, I have no idea, my mind is in a mess.

Only the sound of the wind passing through the tunnel can be heard.

Anyway, I have to confirm the situation.I resisted the dizziness and opened my eyes, standing up.

But the woman disappeared without a trace as if she had merged with the scene in front of her.

"Go this step..."

Yakumo moved the chess pieces on both sides by himself, talking to himself in an admiring tone.

He had left Tatsuya and me alone for more than half an hour, and I sat on a chair beside him, watching Tatsuya stammering about the process.

But Yakumo still played shogi as usual.

"Hey... are you listening to people talking?" I said with a yawn.

"Ah, yes."

"Forget it... can't you listen a little more carefully?"

"You should also be a little more humble. Suddenly run into someone's house and let them start telling ghost stories without considering their situation."

I raised my eyebrows, but didn't tell him that Tatsuya was crying and begging me to bring him here.

"In short, I have a general understanding of the situation. After all, work is work. Simply put, just ask me to help your boyfriend."

"Oh?" I couldn't help asking him amusedly, "One mouthful of my boyfriend or something, are you jealous? Although I don't care, but such a comparison is very low-key."

"Comparatively speaking, I have nothing to do with you," Yakumo stared at me, "Is it too cold to say that in front of him?"

I sighed silently, lowered my eyes, and Tatsuya didn't know what was funny, and laughed silently from the side.After meeting my eyes, he leaned close to my face and whispered.

"We look like a couple!"

"No, not at all." Yakumo denied Tatsuya's words.

"It's not like at all... Didn't you just say that we are a couple?"

"Really? I don't remember."

They were like children, arguing about whether they had said something, so I couldn't bring up the strength to stop it.Tatsuya looked at Yakumo's expression, as if he had suddenly realized something, so he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"I see, because you like her, you are not happy to see me getting along with her, am I right?"

Tatsuya raised his voice smugly.

"That's it." I nodded.

Da also continued.

"Unfortunately, a wooden person like you is not worthy of her at all."

"Is that so?" Yakumo replied indifferently.

"Speaking of which, I always hate women with vicious tongues and reckless behavior. You can fry or boil it as you like, but if you want to eat it, be careful of food poisoning."

"...I didn't expect you to love me so much, what a surprise." I covered my lips and smiled

Tatsuya agreed with my words in his own way, and with a smug smile, he picked up the "corner row" (Note 2) and moved it to the corner.

Note 2: "Jiaoxing" is the name of a chess piece in Japanese shogi.

"General."

Yakumo, who had been expressionless, frowned.

"I have a piece of advice for you."

Yakumo returned the chess piece that Tatsuya had moved to its original position, pointed at Tatsuya, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

"advice?"

"Yes."

"What advice?"

"You'd better pay attention to contraception and comfort the baby spirit."

"You... what nonsense are you talking about!"

Tatsuya slapped Yakumo's hand off and stood up, looking embarrassed.The timid personality hidden behind his excessive self-confidence can be clearly seen from his expression.I gave Tatsuya a cold look.

"I, don't get me wrong, this person has a brain problem! Hey, don't be bloody, if you don't respect what you say, I won't let it go!"

"I didn't spit blood on anyone. As long as you say the other person's name, you should understand, right?"

"Who did you hear?"

Tatsuya asked back with a tense face.He didn't pretend to be self-confessed. One sentence from him was tantamount to admitting what he had done.But Yakumo still didn't let go of Tatsuya who was already sweating profusely on his forehead.

"And it's not just one person, there are two. It's really a dog can't change j□j."

"No! It's their own pregnancy, not my fault!"

Tatsuya dug his own grave because he was too panicked, and he didn't dig too deep. He can't explain it now.And his words caused Yakumo's condemnation even more.

……idiot.

"They want to get pregnant by themselves? What do you think you're talking about? It's okay if it's a pseudo-pregnancy, but you have to have a partner to get pregnant, right? And, no matter how young, it's an imminent The lives that were born in this world, you killed those lives by saying 'they are going to conceive themselves'? After all, Japanese law cannot punish murderers like you, it is really embarrassing."

Tatsuya opened and closed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't refute it in the end.Getting carried away in front of Yakumo and provoking verbal wars is Tatsuya's ignorance.Tatsuya's self-esteem may have been destroyed to pieces, right?But for him who is a narcissist, maybe he has learned a little lesson.

He left Yakumo's room resentfully, and slammed the door violently, which was all he could do to resist.

"Is it okay if you don't go together?"

Yakumo continued to bury his head and fight on the chessboard while asking.

"Ah," I said with a smile, "I came back from abroad after working so hard to prepare a surprise. It's such a cold reaction. It's so sad."

"Then your surprise is really big enough." Yakumo misunderstood something and stared at me with a frown.

His answer sounded special to my ears.

"You're not mad, are you?" I said. "By the way, I didn't say it was a surprise."

"..." He raised his head and looked at me in surprise, then looked away as if to cover up, "I didn't say I thought so."

"Hey, hey," I said with a smile, "So you must have thought about something like 'This guy didn't come to see me once after returning to China, but he finally came here and brought another man with him, he's such a jerk'?"

Yakumo stared at me without saying a word, after a long time
