[Comprehensive] It's not that there is a problem with the way I make friends

Early in the morning, Tsuruta Yu got the news that Teruhashi Tsukimi was willing to come to see him.

He couldn't wait to contact the lawyer and asked him to send him the white custom-made suit that had been prepared long ago, the satin bow tie shimmering under the light, and a pair of Italian handmade leather shoes.

He carefully shaved his face, shaved off all the stubble, combed his hair neatly, put on pomade, cut his nails, and sprayed on a little perfume.

Finally, Tsuruta Yu took out a velvet box, and lightly stroked the pair of sapphire cuffs inside which were like the pair of clear eyes of Yuejian.With a smile on his face, he carefully took it out and brought it to his lips and kissed it before putting it on.

There is also a thin golden chain hanging from the button on his chest, and an old-fashioned pocket watch on the other end of the chain.It was ticking, like the unstoppable nervous beating in the chest.

One click, one click, another click.

If it wasn't for Tie Jian Sensen, he would have been on a long-awaited date, meeting someone he had admired for a long time.

The prison guard standing on the side looked at Tsuruta Yu's outburst, and felt terrified, while the lawyer next to him was worthy of his high quotation, his expression was not wavered at all, and he even asked in a very polite tone.

"Is there anything else you need to prepare, Mr. Tsuruta?"

Tsuruta didn't answer his question, but spread his hands towards the lawyer and turned around.

"How do I look?"

There was a little apprehension in his tone, a little anticipation, and a blushing blushing of happiness on his face.

"You're handsome, he'll like it."

He obviously deserves Zhaoqiao Yuejian, but the lawyer cautiously did not say this name.

This elite lawyer knew very well what was inside the man in front of him.That is something that he is not willing to touch even if he claims to be as ruthless as him.

The other side of the police station.

The policeman acting as the driver had already left to make preparations, and the ones who took over the hospitality work were Miwako Sato, police officer Takagi, and their boss, Meguro Shisan, who had met Teruhashi Tsukimi once.

In a group of Metropolitan Police Departments that generally either have a vicious look or a bad temperament, Mu Mushisan and the others who searched the three departments are simply notoriously different.When the officer's face is as round as his body, he is very friendly.Of the two subordinates, one is a famously beautiful policewoman, and the other is an honest person at first glance, and he is also an honest person.

Compared with other murderers who can scare children into tears when they show up, there is a reason why the Metropolitan Police Department often chooses them as their facade.

"You are Teacher Liushen?"

Seeing Kudou boy approaching with a woman in gorgeous Twelve singles, Mu Mu Shisan froze for a moment, then stepped forward to greet him without squinting.I was slightly surprised in my heart, so it turned out that it was a girl who wrote such a reasoning work?

"Just call me Zhaoqiao, Megure Police Department doesn't need to use honorifics."

Yue Jian squeezed her complicated sleeves, bowed slightly and saluted: "I will trouble you to arrange the next thing."

Mu Mu touched the police cap, coughed uncomfortably, and quickly returned the salute.Although the girl in front of me is only a junior high school student, her grades are enough to make it difficult for most people in the society.What's more, the other party came to help voluntarily, showing respect is due.

That is, step by step from the inspection to the present, Mu Mu Shisan has been a policeman for most of his life, and he really doesn't have much experience in getting along with children from such a big family.

Do you still have to wear twelve unlined clothes?

"Satou, entertain Mr. Liushen, I'll go see if you're ready... Sato?"

"...Ah? Ah! Yes!"

Miwako Sato, who was stunned, saluted reflexively. By the time he realized it, Megushisan had already slipped several steps away.

"...I'll take a look with the police department, and I'll leave it to you!"

Also distracted by the lady who seemed to be walking from the picture scroll, Takagi took two steps back with a dry smile, regardless of whether Miwako Sato heard or not, he spoke two sentences quickly, and disappeared before the eyes of several people impatiently.

... What are you running!Is it necessary to be so cowardly!

Sato, who was thrown on the spot, pressed the corner of his forehead with difficulty. At the crossroads that sprung up one after another, with a smile belonging to the society, he said to the two teenagers who were still standing: "Six, no, Zhaoqiao Sir, and Kudo, please follow me."

"It seems to be causing you trouble."

The dull Ru Zhaoqiao also noticed that the two police officers seemed very anxious, and couldn't help apologizing: "It's just that I really care about what happened to Mr. Tsuruta a year ago, so I don't want to waste this opportunity. .”

So, it's not for this reason at all!

Kudo Shinichi, who was also uncomfortable, looked enviously at the direction that Officer Megure was going away, but he couldn't leave casually as a contact person for matchmaking today.

"No, it's not like that."

Sato smiled dryly and shook his head in denial, those two idiots just don't know how to get along with you, but she couldn't say this anyway.

"However, we do not recommend that you meet the other party." Speaking of the case, Officer Sato's capable spirit returned.

"You have caught the suspect, and you have done your best to help. The next step should be our police's business, and you should not be involved anymore."

The female police officer looked at Zhaoqiao with disapproval and worry. When walking, she turned slightly sideways, and her hands moved much less than usual, as if she was ready to support her at any time. She was wearing a delicate and beautiful but undoubtedly heavy dress. Teenager with limited mobility.

However, along the way, the young man's thin back has always been firmly supporting the heavy clothes, different from the lady's frail posture, as if there is no man's body or women's clothing, and his gestures are calm and elegant, calm and easy .

Probably affected by Yue Jian's composure, Sato didn't feel uncomfortable at the beginning, and dutifully introduced how to deal with the suspect later, and briefly said some information they already had. .These were all discussed within the Metropolitan Police Department, and they felt that they could be informed to Teruhashi Tsukimi and used in the interrogation.

The Metropolitan Police Department is such a big place, no matter how the three of them walked, after a few minutes, they still reached the door of the interrogation room.

Sato put his hand on the doorknob, and finally said: "Don't worry, we will send the interrogator in later, he can't hurt you."

After Zhaoqiao nodded and confirmed that there was no nervous expression on the boy's face, Sato pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

The so-called interrogation room is like that in a TV series, divided into an inner room and an outer room, and the middle is divided by a huge one-way mirror.

At this time, the outside room was already full of police officers in police uniforms with different titles.Probably because they had been notified of Teruhashi's unusual attire, the police officers were only a little taken aback, looked him up twice involuntarily, and then stared at him impolitely.

"Odagiri Toshiro, I'm going to trouble Teruhashi-kun this time."

The leader among the many police officers came over and shook hands with Teruhashi.Although he didn't use honorifics like Memu Thirteen, his tone was very polite.

"He is the Chief of the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Police Department." Kudo whispered in Teruhashi's ear, and then greeted this father's acquaintance.

The Minister of Criminal Affairs has a wise and revealing face, and his expression is particularly upright.Zhaoqiao heard from Kudo that it was he who made the decision to contact him.

"If the higher-ups blame me, I will bear it all."

In some people's eyes, this is just looking for the names of a few victims, and they are still dead victims.

It has been a year since he committed the last crime, and the pain of the family members of the deceased is about to pass, why bother to uncover the scar again?

There are quite a few people in the Metropolitan Police Department who think this way, at least from the perspective of Zhaoqiao, many people smiled kindly at him, but Minister Oda didn't come forward to greet him because he was in front of him.

These are people he doesn't know, just because of the two surnames Sakaki and Usami behind him.

Zhaoqiao nodded and said with a smile: "You are too polite, I also have something I want to know."

I originally thought that the most difficult thing was to persuade the parties to face the criminal suspect again, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly simple.Now that Minister Oda saw the real person and confirmed that there was no embarrassment on Yue Jian's face, he was relieved first.

In any case, if Tsukimi Teruhashi is willing to cooperate, their work will be much easier.

As for the aftermath... With this very reasonable young master around, he doesn't have to worry too much about whether his subordinates will be implicated by him, and he will be held accountable by the superiors along with him.

"The suspect's hands and feet are chained, and I will send the best interrogation experts from the Metropolitan Police Department to accompany you in, so don't worry."

On the other hand, Yue Jian was observing Tsuruta Yu carefully. The man behind the perspective mirror was a little restless, with a slightly excited expression, dressed neatly as if he could attend the highest-level banquet at any time, and looked expectantly in the direction of the door from time to time.

Just looking at the surface, this is a man with impeccable appearance and temperament.

"This...is a date." Yue Jian said suddenly.

"What?" Minister Oda lowered his head and looked at Teruhashi who suddenly spoke.

Yue Jian thought about it, hesitated slightly and said: "It's better to let me go in alone, otherwise he might not be willing to tell the truth, and even... might show aggressiveness."

He has only learned the surface of criminal psychology, but there seems to be a feeling in the dark that made him say such a suggestion.

Minister Oda glanced at Zhao Qiaoyue in surprise, after a moment of silence, he shook his head: "You know this is impossible."

"He won't hurt me." Recalling the brief contact and a few words in Karakumacho, Tsukimi affirmed, "He can't hurt me either."

Minister Oda paused, obviously recalling the brilliant record of the boy in front of him who dared to knock people down with a few tricks when he was pointed at by a gun. He thought about it, and shook his head.

It has nothing to do with the value of force, and it is not appropriate to let the underage victim go to meet a dangerous serial killer.Coupled with this condition alone, it is a violation of his professional ethics.

On the other hand, Kudo was eager to move, with a look of eagerness to follow Teruhashiki in, curiosity was written all over his face.

After hearing Yue Jian's words, he calmed down and thought about what had happened, then looked at Yu Tsuruta who seemed to be waiting for his other half, and had to admit that what Teruhashi said was probably true.

This time I'm afraid I really want to ask my father to send back some books on criminal psychology, Kudo silently plans in his heart, it seems really useful!

In the end, the interrogator walked in after Zhaoqiao.

All the equipment in the outside room had been turned on, and the moment Zhaoqiao pushed the door open, all the police officers reflexively stretched their sensory nerves, staring closely at the man on the other side of the perspective mirror.

Tsuruta Yu has been waiting for a long time, whether it is the whole year of preparations, or the immediate use of the backup plan after the failure of Karakura Town, he has been looking forward to it for too long.

And now, that day is finally coming.

The door that crossed between him and Xiaoyue opened slowly under Tsuruta Yu's intense gaze.

When Teruhashi Tsukimi, who was wearing a complicated and solemn dress, gradually appeared in his eyes, Tsuruta Yu was sluggish on the chair, as if he was frozen by the whole person, motionless.

The interrogator cautiously stood beside Yue Jian, observing the state of the suspect on the opposite side, and did not break his train of thought rashly.

— Rather than saying that he is an interrogator, it is better to say that he is an expert negotiator.

Since Tsuruta Yu was imprisoned for such a long time, all methods in the Metropolitan Police Department have been used.But the person in front of him doesn't take hard things, and every time he asks, he only has one sentence in his mouth.

"I want to see Xiaoyue."

He doesn't care about his own life, his reputation, let alone physical pain and injury.His family has all died, and there is no blood relative in this world.

He laughed at whatever the friends brought in through his investigations had to say—in the field of medicine, he was undoubtedly a genius.This can be seen from the doctors who left with black faces.

With everyone at their wit's end, he, an expert negotiator, unexpectedly asked something.This is why he has entered this interrogation room again now.

He couldn't help but tense up, which was a little unprofessional.However, the suspect in front of him is a murderer who can kill without blinking an eye. It is a strange thing that he is as relaxed as Teruhashi Tsukimi who has already sat down opposite Tsuruta Yu.

"It turned out that it was Kaguya Ji who descended in front of me."

He spoke.

All the police officers outside couldn't help but take a step forward, as if they could threaten the person inside.

"You know I'm not."

Yue Jian's expression was still relaxed and calm, his eyes fell on Tsuruta Yu, sizing up this person who hadn't had time to observe carefully before.

Sensing his gaze, Tsuruta Yu froze slightly, resisting the urge to shrink back and straightened his back.

He wanted to present the best side of himself to Teruhashi Tsukimi.

Tsukimi noticed this detail, and then politely looked away.

Seeing this, Tsuruta Yu laughed softly, and his originally stiff back relaxed.

...Look, he is still so soft-hearted, he doesn't even want to hurt a scum like himself.

The negotiator who is good at observing words and expressions immediately noticed this, and said hello to Tsukihime Tsukihime in his heart, and then immediately seized the opportunity to take a step forward, preparing to take this rare opportunity to take out the list of victims.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, Tsuruta Yu's vigilant eyes immediately fell on him, with malice that could not be ignored.

The atmosphere became stagnant again.

"A year ago, did we meet?"

Yuejian didn't seem to notice this, and suddenly spoke, drawing the other person's attention back to herself.

Taking advantage of this time, Minister Oda outside made a decisive decision and called out the negotiator through the built-in earphone.

Sure enough, Tsuruta Yu didn't care about the negotiator at all, seeing that he didn't bother him, he didn't pay any more attention.

"I saw you." Tsuruta Yuu said softly.

That was the most embarrassing time for him, his emotions were out of his control, his mind was full of stabbing anything to death with the scalpel in his hand, it was two extremes from his previous cautiousness.

This is also a rare situation among serial killers, and it can be regarded as a kind of degeneration.

From being stable, organized, and self-controlled before, it has degenerated into uncontrolled dangerous behavior.

Tsukimi silently listened to this confession, and suddenly asked: "Actually, the younger brother Hikaru Tsuruta that you confessed to at the Karakura Police Station is not a fabricated story, is it?"

Tsuruta Yuu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"How did you know?"

On the other side of the perspective mirror, Minister Oda hurriedly waved for someone to check.

Nobody moved.

"We checked before, and there is no such person as Hikaru Tsuruta." Memu Shisan who stood up said embarrassingly.

"Dig further, Tsuruta may not be his original surname, with the name of Hikari, a boy who died a year ago and was about the same age as Zhaoqiao!"

The conversation inside is still going on.

"Because you are a person with a very stable behavior pattern and very strict self-control. It can even be said that as long as there is no major trauma or accident, you can carry your secrets until you die of old age and go into your grave.

I always thought that I was the stressor, but I couldn't think of a time when I did anything in particular a year ago. "

Now the answer is finally clear, the death of his brother was the great trauma that changed his behavior pattern.It's just that instead of getting better as Yuejian thought, there was a rare degeneration.

"Then, I met you."

Tsuruta Yu's eyes lit up looking at Yue Jian, focused, greedy, and longing.

It was like seeing the full meaning of life.

After an hour, Yuejian got up and left the interrogation room.

They didn't talk a word about the victims who died at the hands of Tsuruta, and the two of them could even be said to have a good chat.

Therefore, when Yuejian opened the door and left, the policemen, large and small, on the other side of the perspective mirror were still a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Go in with a recorder, and he'll give you all the names."

Facing Minister Oda's slightly anxious eyes, Tsukimi said while holding the door frame.

The dubious Minister Oda walked into the door in person, but found that Hikaru Tsuruta seemed to be satisfied, and he didn't care who walked in.After giving him a pen and a piece of paper, as Hashi Tsukimi said, he happily uttered all the names, and additionally wrote the different methods used to kill each victim.

The only similarity between these methods is that they can make the victims who are already hanging by a thread die naturally.

No wonder, all these years, he has not been found.Not even suspected.

"When a genius uses his ability on this kind of thing, the consequences are really terrible."

Kudo Shinichi looked at the orderly handwriting in front of him in amazement, and couldn't help shivering.

"Such people are still in the minority."

Yuejian shook his head, and the two walked slowly outside the police station.Although there is such a thing, it is shocking enough.

I sneaked out today and took such a trip, and got an answer that I hadn't figured out before.To say that my heart has become more relaxed, I really haven't.But to say that his heart is heavy because of this is not enough.

In the past year, Tsuruta Yu did exactly as he said, never killing anyone again.

Because of this, Yue Jian saw a depraved soul developing towards the good side, but the blood stained on his hands by taking advantage of his position in the past was also true.

"People's hearts are really complicated!" Obviously, after experiencing this scene, Kudo Shinichi had the same sigh.

"But it's amazing, isn't it?" Tsukimi folded her sleeves and walked out slowly stepping on clogs.

"Good and evil, each with a 50.00% probability, I think I'm still willing to believe in the good side."

After saying these words, Yuejian only felt that his mood was finally relaxed.Even the smile on his lips became brighter, and his steps became much lighter.

"That's a good word!"

Kudo Shinichi, who was still a boy at heart, took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the door, stretched his waist and said, "Okay, I've been out for so long, the matter is finally over, and it's time to send you back."

It also saves the little president of the student union from finding out that someone has been abducted by him, and coming back to trouble him.

After waiting for a while, but did not hear Teruhashi Tsukimi's reply, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but put down his hands behind his head and looked at him.

"what happened?"

Yuejian hurriedly put away her frightened expression, pulled her stiff face back into a smile, and naturally declined.

"I seem to see a car coming to pick me up."

Kudo didn't doubt it either, he just thought that Teruhashi felt guilty because he was caught on the spot, so he asked casually.

"you sure?"

"...I'm leaving first, please explain to the driver sent by the Metropolitan Police Department later."

Zhaoqiao squeezed his sleeves, took a deep breath, and walked resolutely towards the familiar black car.

... Is there such an exaggeration?

Kudo suspiciously glanced in the direction Teruhashi Tsukimi left, but only had time to see the rounded arc of the rear of the car.

It should be a classic car, and few people drive it now.As a boy, Kudo, who is more or less interested in cars, immediately recognized that it was a Porsche.

Just don't know what model it is.

Sitting in the car taking him back to school, Kudo Shinichi was still thinking about it.
