Sartre said that the reason why people's freedom will be distorted is that when our parents conceived us, they decided our destiny. They imagined that we would become this or that kind of person, have this or that kind of occupation, etc., etc. hope or sustenance.

Then, my father said to me, "Kyotaka, your birth was my biggest failure".

……

This sentence is like a bell in the middle of the night and a scream in the morning. When it rang, I opened my eyes in shock.

At first glance, it looked like a snow-white ceiling, and the natural light from outside had penetrated into the room, and Edogawa Ranbu hugged the pillow and rubbed it against my quilt, smacking his mouth.I closed my eyes deeply, and after a few seconds, I exhaled again and got up from the bed.

It's my second day in Ikebukuro.

While I was scrubbing in the bathroom, I took a fresh shower.

It's been a long time since I dreamed of my father.For me, dreaming about him is no different than having a nightmare.Unlike many abandoned children in WhiteRoom, I actually have a father and a mother. Even my father plays a very important role in WhiteRoom, and my mother is said to be a very ordinary person. If you fall into the crowd, you will not be able to find it. The kind of people who have no sense of existence, are neither smart nor beautiful, have a dull personality, echo what others say, and are worthless.

However, I still don't know my father's name and my mother's appearance.

I stared at myself in the mirror, and the lack of organic eyes alone was enough to make people hate it.

When I left the bathroom, Ranpo Edogawa hadn't woken up yet, so I pulled the warm blanket off his body.Edogawa Ranpo was like a snail that had been sprinkled with salt, curled up into a ball with his back arched and his pillow in his arms.So I picked up the quilt with both hands and fanned it in his direction.A gust of wind blew his hair up too.

You must know that the morning in spring is still very cold.

Edogawa ranbu closed his eyes, and subconsciously got into the quilt that I hadn't folded just now, half of his body was hidden in the quilt, and half of his body was exposed outside. Tuck myself into my quilt.

"Edogawa, I'm going out."

"…………Well."

I opened the breakfast list on the search engine and read it blankly: "Beef Soba Noodles, Duck Eggplant Soba Noodles, Double Cheese Egg Burger, Avocado Fried Shrimp Burger, Grilled Chicken Tomato Burger, Fried Xiaolongbao..."

"I'm coming, I'm coming..." The voice was sleepy, but the power of consciousness made Edogawa crawl out like a shelled insect. "...Here it is..."

Ten minutes later, Edogawa Ranpo began to eat breakfast energetically.

To be honest, although I always complain in my heart that Edogawa Ranpo is too delicious, of course I also said a lot of things that he likes to eat, but when I watch him eat, I somehow feel that the food is really good delicious.

Eating in WhiteRoom is only for the needs of the human body. Sometimes some people even drink nutritional supplements or give themselves nutritional injections, in order to gain more time for study.In Hong Kong and Heilongjiang, I also ate alone, and I didn't think carefully about "what to eat", "how to eat", "what I eat today and will change tomorrow, so how to find more delicious food".

But I have finished eating, and Edogawa is still thinking about whether to add a pancake.

"We're not going to Yagiri Pharmaceuticals today."

In the middle of the night yesterday, I got in touch with Rei Fuguri, and I decided not to go to Yagiri Pharmaceutical, and let him and his public security team pretend to be Hong Kong gangsters in charge and contact the director of Yagiri Pharmaceutical.I asked them to turn on the communicator when they entered Yagiri Pharmaceutical's research institute, so I could listen to their conversation outside.

"Edogawa, let's go to Lailiang Academy today."

As soon as I finished speaking, Edogawa Ranpo looked up at me in surprise.

"I'm not going!"

"It's up to you." I explained it to him carefully, "Now you have two choices: one, eat well, and then go to Lailiang Academy with me; two, get beaten up by me, and then go to Lailiang Academy with me garden."

I went to Lailiang Academy not to go in and investigate Zhang Jianmeixiang myself, but to throw Edogawa Ranpo into it, not only for peace of mind, not having to bring a big child with me, but also because it is A great way to reach out to friends around Meixiang Zhang.

"As long as you can give me some helpful news every day. What do you want to eat, even if it's expensive food sprinkled with gold leaf and truffles, even if you order two sukiyaki, one for eating, I'll buy it for you if you pour one serving."

Of course, I was just talking nicely.

It's very easy to get into Liangxueyuan. I didn't even spend a penny. I asked the public security team to help me take care of it. I just led people in the next day.Although Edogawa Ranpo is already in his 20s, he looks very tender, and he looks like a student when he puts on a school uniform.

After sending the "reluctantly" Edogawa Ranpo off to school, I started to investigate the location where I saw Mika Zhangjian for the last time yesterday.There are no abandoned old buildings or warehouses around, and most of them are apartments for staff and students who come to get off work or school in Ikebukuro.The currently effective information point is that Yagiri Seiji also lives in this area.

Without thinking, I went directly to Yagiri Seiji's residence.

Residents are not difficult to find. I have hacked into the official website of the largest courier company in Ikebukuro, and the courier addresses and phone numbers of users are all on it.It's just that I didn't expect that the young master of a big pharmaceutical company lived quite simply. He didn't choose a high-rise apartment, but a low-density townhouse, and he didn't even have a guard for management and security.

Because it happened to be the time when students were in class and office workers were going to work, there was no one in the corridor, so I strode directly to the door of Seiji Yagiri's room number. Before coming, I went to the hardware store to buy a lock pick and a wrench.Most homes and businesses use a type of lock called a tumbler lock.The principle of this kind of lock is very simple - there is a lock cylinder inside the lock, when the lock is closed, there are many pairs of metal bars on the lock cylinder that will fall on fixed positions, each metal bolt has its own elastic pressure, this That's why there are different tooth heights on the key, so that each bar has a correct pressure, and when the key is twisted, the final lock cylinder can be opened.

Therefore, in fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the hairpin or paper clip used by actors on TV to unlock the lock can be unlocked by poking it a few times. time.Or, it's a fool lock like the one used on drawers, which can be opened with a few pokes.

I remember that after I used surgical scissors to open drawers before, I no longer needed a key and could open anyone's drawer at will.

However, when I took out my lock pick and turned the door lock, I found that the feel was wrong-the door was not locked.

"..."

The last time I found the door unlocked was vivid in my memory.

The door is not locked at this time, either the owner is careless and forgot to lock it today; or someone broke into the empty door.

I thought about it briefly for two seconds. If it was an empty door, it should end soon, because if it takes a long time to deal with it, he should choose to lock the door.

Psychologically speaking, as a thief/criminal, he will have a sense of crisis when he commits a crime, that is, the sense of crisis that he is afraid of being discovered by others.In order to get rid of this sense of crisis, they will create an environment that allows them to feel psychologically stable and safe.This is why some criminals panic after being discovered, and even act out of courage, killing with passion, because the fact of being "discovered" stimulates his own psychological safety threshold and catalyzes his sense of crisis.

I waited near the door, and if no one came out in 5 minutes, I went in by myself.

However, after waiting for about 5 minutes, there was no movement inside the door, so I decided to open the door and enter the house.

The house is a very typical 1K structure: a room and a separate kitchen.The curtains were drawn inside the room, and the light was relatively dark.

I found my luminol reagent spray.

If there were traces of a dispute here, you should be able to see the blood reaction on the ground.This may be too preconceived idea.But after all, this is where people were last seen, so it is very likely that she disappeared here.

Luminol reagent can oxidize with active oxygen in blood and emit fluorescence effect.No matter how clean it is or how long it takes, the luminol reagent works.That's why it's the reagent of choice for forensics and site investigations.

But the scene in front of me made me laugh out loud——

The entire floor has a strong fluorescent effect.

This is not to say that this person killed people all over the room. If this is the case, the fluorescent light in the room should be speckled, but the whole area is glowing.It means that it has been thoroughly treated with some kind of bleach containing copper or copper alloy, so the reaction of luminol reagent masks the presence of other things.

On the contrary, this is trying to cover up.

I was thinking about what to do next when a strange breath came from my back.

I turned my head subconsciously, and a sharp pocket knife slashed directly in front of me.I grabbed the man's wrist, and while pulling it forward, I stabbed him in the abdomen three times with my fist.In fact, my strength is not particularly strong, but these can be practiced.The strength of the fist is not directly related to the thickness of the arm. The main key part is related to the coordination of the muscles and the body when punching.

My punch can reach 500 pounds, which is 200 kilograms.

I don't have any experience in fighting non-supernatural beings, so I didn't accept it in time.

When the opponent spat out a mouthful of blood foam, I felt that my shot might be a little heavier.

What's more, the other party is an acquaintance.

"Good morning, Mr. Orihara, you are here too, sorry, you scared me just now..."

Orihara hugged his stomach, lowered his body, half-prostrated on the ground, raised his head after a long time, and forced a smile at me: "...Morning."

I thought about it, stood where I was, and continued to ask, "Are you okay?"

"..."

I think he's all right because we went to have tea afterwards.

Although he didn't take a sip, he still held the place where I hit him and gasped for air the whole time.
