Obviously a passerby, but he made his debut in the forum with real wine

(16) Don't use it for now

Police officer Megure took us to a high-density apartment building. The apartment building is five stories high, and the first floor is divided into east and west directions centered on the elevator.There are two rows of rooms with opposite doors on each side. It looks like a dormitory under centralized management. The skylight is not enough to support the light of the entire corridor, so there are electric lights that are always on during the day.

At a glance, we can see a man in a suit and leather shoes standing in the corridor. He is Okino Yoko's current manager, Yamagishi Sakae. He is about 30 years old. He has relatively high cheekbones and large eyes, but he is not Good-looking, temperament is not much different from ordinary white-collar workers.

He stood by the window near the end of the corridor. Even if he was waiting alone, his back was straight. It was not until he saw a familiar figure that Sakae Yamagishi moved his body.He shook hands with all three of us.The current situation is obvious, because Okino Yoko is not only a victim of some cases, but also a witness of another "murder case", mentally very unstable, so the venue of the consultation process was specially moved to her resident.

"Yoko was still waiting, but because she didn't sleep well last night, she felt sleepy while waiting, so I let her go to sleep. I waited here alone." Yamagishi Rong explained that he was standing outside alone. s reason.Because it is also standing by the window, it doesn't look too strange.

I saw Officer Megure negotiating with him, and I simply glanced around.The distribution of surveillance cameras around the apartment is poor, and there are too many dead spots, which are purely for decoration, but it is not too far from the main street and traffic station.This is a typical example of migrants choosing housing - exchanging high potential safety hazards for convenient transportation and cheap rent.

"My name is Sakae Yamagishi."

His hand stretched out in front of my face.

In fact, I already knew his name in the data.However, I also shook hands and said, "Hi, I'm Chu He. You can call me Ahe."

As soon as I finished speaking, he chased after me and said, "I heard that you are a spirit detective."

"..."

I really want to change my name, such as behavioral psychological investigator, psychological counselor, or criminal profiler, etc., but unfortunately, I don't have any of the professional certificates mentioned.

While speaking, Shan Anrong handed his own business card in front of me and said, "Mr. Chu, is it convenient to tell me your age?"

He was so serious about it that it was not clear to me why he was interested in this part.

In fact, I don't care about the age of the answer, but I am a bit shy about Kenji Hagiwara being next to me.You know, I have let them call me a teacher for more than a month.If they found out that I had just turned 20, I felt like they would be teasing me a lot.I remember it used to be like this, after other people knew that I was the youngest student, I was often touched on the head by boys and girls, passively used as a mascot, and someone would put candies and cookies in my hood.

Ah... I'm not a mascot!

Sakae Yamagishi's eyes almost burned holes in me: "You are still underage now, I wonder if you are not interested in the title of the genius young detective who cooperates with the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Hiss—where did this shameful title come from?

I couldn't help but take a deep breath, and when he continued to say "psychic boy" and "inspirational salt boy" that made people's scalp tingle, I quickly said: "I'm an adult!"

Please let go!

"Ah, it's a pity." Sakae Yamagishi couldn't put it down, and couldn't bear to abandon the name he had chosen. "How bad is it, you look like a high school student? If you want to be on TV, the audience market is very open to you. Wide. You can tell at a glance that you are very photogenic, young, professional, and a detective."

I sought help from the left and right, and found that Officer Megure and Hagiwara Kenji also had burning gossip souls, and I didn't think it was trivial for me to answer questions other than these cases.

I surrender: "I'm 20, and I'm a real adult."

Yamagishi Rong said in a low voice, "It's a pity".

"..."

What a pity.

"Then do you want to be on TV?" Yamagishi Rong continued to ask.

Police Officer Megure realized that this person was doing something irrelevant, so he said, "Let's stop here. Can you wake Miss Okino?"

The police spoke, and Sakae Yamagishi naturally didn't dare to continue to say irrelevant words.

"I'm going to wake her up."

Sakae Yamagishi held the doorknob, and there was a scream that almost pierced the eardrums from inside the room.It didn't sound like a human cry, but it could only be a human cry.I don't believe that ghosts can appear in broad daylight.There were also the sound of running away in a hurry, knocking down objects, and messy footsteps in the room.This is enough to make people imagine what kind of "Battle Royale" appeared in it.

And almost at the same time as the screams sounded, Officer Megure separated Yamagishi Sakae for an instant, and tried to open the door with his gun.Hagiwara Kenji also quickly made a judgment, protected me behind him, and took two steps back.I couldn't dodge in time, and bumped my head against his back, subconsciously grabbing the corners of his clothes on both sides of his waist.After thinking about it, it is very like an eagle catching the hen and chicks inside the chicks.Fortunately, Kenji Hagiwara didn't mention this little detail afterward, maybe he didn't notice it, otherwise I... would be a little ashamed.

When Officer Megure opened the door, Okino Yoko had already rushed out of the house barefoot.I don't know what the others saw, I just noticed that there was no one behind her.Police officer Mu Mu quickly grabbed her.After regaining her senses, Yoko Okino's feet went limp in an instant, and her legs collapsed on the ground like plasticine without bones. She raised her head and burst into tears before she heard anyone speak.

"Someone is cutting me into pieces with a knife...my arm hurts..."

She cried so miserably, telling what kind of horrible things she had just experienced.However, Police Officer Megure, who was holding Yoko Okino's arm, was at his wits' end right now, and couldn't let go of Yoko Okino, who regarded him as a life-saving straw.

Seeing this, Kenji Hagiwara volunteered, "I'll go and see the situation."

He checked the condition of the windows.

Yoko Okino's house has a 1R layout, that is, the kitchen, bedroom and living room are shared spaces, and there is a small independent washroom and storage room next to it. Unless the next door can open a secret passage, otherwise people cannot hide at all.Therefore, it is almost clear from the moment the door is opened, there is nothing inside, even the windows are locked tightly.

Kenji Hagiwara didn't speak, but just looked up at the three of us, and the four of us looked at each other in blank dismay. The time between Yoko Okino screaming and opening the door was so short that it was impossible for anyone to successfully jump out of the window and lock the window at the same time.

"It's okay, you're just having a nightmare."

Yamagishi Rong comforted Okino Yoko, and put his coat on Okino Yoko.After a long time, Yoko Okino nodded and agreed with tears in her eyes, but still murmured: "It's so real...it's scary..."

Police officer Megure is now a little doubtful about whether Yoko Okino can cooperate with the investigation. He looked up at me, and I looked up at Sakae Yamagishi.Now Yoko Okino is very dependent on Sakae Yamagishi's appearance, wrapped in his coat the whole time, seeing what others say must go through Sakae Yamagishi before speaking.

I asked Sakae Yamagishi, "Does she often have such nightmares?"

Sakae Yamagishi was very uncertain about this, looked down at Yoko Okino, and asked her.At this moment, because Yoko Okino was sitting at the entrance, everyone around was afraid of frightening the 15-year-old child. Police officer Megure took the lead silently. Except for Sakae Yamagishi who was sitting at the entrance, the others were all squatting in front of her. .

I looked at Yoko Okino.

The fundus of her eyes was black and blue, and the pupils of her eyes were bloodshot. She didn't know whether it was because of crying just now or because of lack of sleep.Compared with the confident and calm female star in the first year of Conan, Yoko Okino looks like a child at this moment.Of course, it may be because I often get along with older people that I see only children with tender faces.

I asked, "Would you like some warm water first?"

After Okino Yoko glanced at the manager, he nodded slowly.

I took the opportunity to get out of the situation where my feet were about to numb.She also seems to cook a lot, so the stove is clean and tidy, with obvious signs of use.I hesitated between the blue and pink water glasses, chose the pink water glass, and poured a glass of warm water.At this time, Yoko Okino has accepted the fact that she is actually having a nightmare.

I pushed Sakae Yamagishi aside, sat beside Okino Yoko, and said to her, "I saw a lot of condiments on the side of your stove, are you good at cooking?"

Yoko Okino looked at me a little quizzically, but this was an everyday conversation, so she responded without thinking, "I like to cook."

"Then what kind of food do you like?"

I noticed a lot of the seasoning was spicy.

"I like sweeter ones. Mirin and sugar are used in the cooking. Milk is also added to the omelet."

"Omelet with milk, that must be delicious!"

In fact, sometimes I don't really answer fluently. At this time, I tend to repeat some words of others as a response.This is actually the application of a psychological effect called the repetition effect in psychology.Although the content of the conversation is pale and empty after careful consideration, the other party will think that you are listening to you carefully, and on the contrary, it will increase the favorability of the speaker in repeated conversations.When I don't know how to answer others and have to prolong the conversation, I use this method to increase the frequency of the other party's own speech.

The expression on Okino Yoko's face became lighter, and she asked in a low voice, "Have you ever tried adding cream?"

"With cream?" I continued to repeat her words.

"Yes, it also becomes softer with the addition of cream."

Yoko Okino talked more and more, and gradually we also turned from the entrance to Yoko Okino's room, and everyone else sat or stood, and closed the door.I started to get down to business.

In fact, if conditions permit, I hope to give her some mental tests for personality disorders.Generally speaking, personality disorders do not have the psychological needs to actively seek medical treatment.But I personally think that her external performance has some characteristics of dependent personality disorder: she needs to get the consent and advice of the agent repeatedly before she can respond to some simple questions positively; The posture generally shows that people are submissive and accustomed to relying on others; there are other daily details, which I will not list one by one.

Of course, this is probably the result of the fact that she was alone in Tokyo when she was young, and she was still in the entertainment industry with strong competitiveness and high work pressure.

"Actually, we are here this time to talk about what you saw in the last road show. I want to ask you some questions, can you help us?"

The final answer given by Yoko Okino was similar to what she gave when she took notes at the police station.Because she couldn't answer her memories between the discovery of the scene and the phone call before, she was very anxious about this part this time.She believes that this memory is likely to be a crucial clue that she has overlooked key information, and it may also be a credential to explain whether she is actually hallucinating.

When I pressed her, she admitted that she had taken hypnotics to treat her occasional insomnia.Because she knows she has to rest in order to have the energy to do the next day's activities.But she claimed that she did not dare to eat a lot.

I know that some hypnotics can cause hallucinations if taken for a long time.Personally, though, I don't quite think it's an illusion.It is also normal to experience short-term memory loss due to excessive stimulation.

I reassured her that these were not serious, and that even if hallucinations did occur, there was a cure just like treating a cold (in fact, it is not that simple).I asked again: "How long have you rested at home?"

"Probably..." Yoko Okino counted the time in her head, "I have rested for at least eight days. I have delayed the work and performance of too many people in the group. They must be working very hard now."

She was frustrated after speaking, but found that she could not make a change.

"Is no one bothering you?" I continued.

Yoko Okino shook her head.

"Actually, you should take a month off." I rationalized her being forced to flee the workplace as something she had to accept. If adults continue to work under heavy workloads, we will have to sue your agency, and your team will really be disbanded."

"Ah?" Okino Yoko looked at Sakae Yamagishi in surprise.

Yamagishi Rong knew that I was talking nonsense, but he still accepted my words, pretending to be terrified and said: "Ah, Mr. Police, please let us go this time. I... Yoko, you must stay at home and rest."

He is still racking his brains to answer the words, and I think the scene will be over if Sakae Yamagishi continues.

After interrupting his words, I took out a portable notepad from my pocket, coughed, and quietly placed it in front of Yoko Okino.The others looked at the notepad, dazed.

"In fact, I have a friend who is a die-hard fan of yours. He said that you sing very well and your speeches on stage are also very inspiring. He buys your merchandise every time and never misses your performance. When we meet He will deliberately dress in a dignified manner, even his wife does not have this kind of treatment. It is rare for me to see you in person, and I hope you can sign an autograph for him."

My goal is to build her self-confidence.

But I'm also telling the truth.

Okino Yoko was dubious about my words, and when she picked up the pen, she asked, "What name should I write?"

"Maori Kogoro."

As soon as I said this, the police officer next to me made a strange sound of doubt in his throat.I suddenly realized it later, and my head twitched just now, forgetting that Mori Kogoro and Police Officer Megure are old acquaintances now.But my expression is very firm, without leaving any flaws.

Okino Yoko took a pen and wrote his signature seriously, and also wrote a long paragraph of thanks.

I led the whole process, so when I said to leave, everyone also left, and the manager took us all the way to the underground parking lot.When I was leaving, I asked the manager, "I saw that many utensils in Ms. Okino's house are doubled. Does anyone come to her house often?"

The agent was taken aback, and quickly responded: "She is so busy, how could she have time to deal with other things? It is inevitable that there will be guests at home alone, so it shouldn't be surprising to prepare an extra set of utensils, right? I also live alone, When you buy tableware, you usually have a double set, and you can change them if you don’t want to wash the dishes occasionally. Is there anything strange about that?”

When he explained it that way, I got it.

"Because I live alone, everything is for one person. Seeing Miss Okino's situation, it's inevitable that I don't understand after I substitute myself into the situation."

Sakae Yamagishi smiled understandingly.

"Mr. Yamagishi won't give it away." I waved my hand and said, "We still have a chance to meet next time. By the way, I'll buy something next time."

"you are welcome."

"need."

I will definitely buy it.

After sitting in Police Officer Megure's car, Hagiwara Kenji, who has been silent all the time, said: "Sakae Yamagishi has a ghost in his heart, and I'm afraid it has a lot of weight in Yoko Okino's case. Tell me, does he have mind control? Yoko Okino?"

"Yes, he does have a ghost in his heart. It's suspicious that I could arouse such a big reaction from him after I tried him a little last time. Officer Megure, you think so, don't you?"

Looking up at Police Officer Megure waiting for his opinion, I found that he was looking at us in shock, with the whole expression "Are we at the same scene?".

But with the demeanor and demeanor of an officer, Officer Mu Mu quickly took over and said, "Then shall we investigate the broker?"

Hagiwara: "Probably."

Me: "No need for now."

Our two voices overlapped.Before the words fell, Kenji Hagiwara and I subconsciously looked at each other because of the diametrically opposite answer.In fact, it doesn’t matter if I have it or not. At present, I consciously want to take Kenji Hagiwara to criminal profiling, so I plan to focus on his thinking. I just planned to change my answer. Kenji Hagiwara smiled at me, his pupils were clear .

"And the teacher, it seems that you already know everything."

NO, I have not.
