[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

My knees were visible through the frayed jeans - my knees were covered in skin, bleeding from the cuts.

"it hurts……"

My face contorted in pain.Yakumo walked up to me and knelt down on one knee, pressing my knee with a handkerchief.

"Press it until the bleeding stops."

"Thank you" I pressed the wound, raised my head and asked him, "Is there anything else?"

Yakumo stood up without saying a word, and pointed to the ground a few meters away.

I looked in the direction of Yakumo's finger, and for a moment, I held my breath.

There was a woman in a gray suit lying on her back.That's right, it's her.It was obvious that she had been out of breath for a long time, and the blood flowing from her forehead turned red to black, adhering to her lifeless skin; her cloudy pupils looked up at the sky, as if they were looking at something.

"It seems that there seems to be an accident on that road just now." Yakumo said.

How long has she been abandoned here?She must have hoped that someone would find her, that's why she appeared in that place.

The dizziness that had been relieved a lot since exiting the tunnel came again, and I closed my eyes.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Yakumo asked me.

"It's okay." I rubbed my forehead, "I'm a little dizzy."

"It's really troublesome," Yakumo stared at me with terrifying eyes, turned around and said to me, "Come up."

"Yeah." I knew he couldn't see, so I smiled happily.

RAISE

When I came to Yakumo's place, Detective Goto, whom I had met in the previous incident, was also there.With his sturdy figure and menacing eyes, people can't help thinking that he is a vicious wrestler.

Yakumo told me, "I already have clues about the woman I discovered a few days ago. If you are interested, come here." close.

"You came just in time, you are about to start explaining now, come in."

Yakumo urged me to find a chair to sit down, and Goto brought me one, so there was no room for me to refuse.I sat down gently beside Goto, and there was a criminal policeman sitting next to me, which made people feel timid for some reason.

"You and Mr. Goto met once before."

I nodded.

"Hey, Yakumo, introduce your girlfriend to me, I don't know her name yet!"

Yakumo scratched his back with a troubled expression.

"Ozawa."

"Hey, is that the only thing? There should be something else to talk about."

"Please ask her later in private."

"What, so cold. Ah, Miss Ozawa, what's your name?"

Goto suddenly turned to me. Although his face twice as big as mine was full of smiles, because the dark circles under his eyes and the messy stubble were too eye-catching, it made people feel a little scared.

"Didn't I say I'll ask you later?"

Yakumo scolded Goto angrily. "Stingy," Goto whispered.

... The strength and weakness are immediately apparent.

"Everyone is here, please start explaining." Yakumo urged.

That's what happened.

"Ah, that's right, I almost forgot all about it."

"Really, what are you here for? Are criminal policemen so free?"

Goto was indifferent to Yakumo's sarcasm. He took out a notepad from the inside pocket of his crumpled suit, cleared his throat, and began to explain.

"The deceased's cause of death was most likely a brain contusion."

"Did he kill it?"

"No, according to the forensic examination, part of the car's paint and headlight fragments were found on her body, so it is easy to know that she was hit by a car and died."

"Moreover, the victim's purses, wallets and other things that could be identified were taken away."

"Someone is trying to hide her identity."

"That's right, and the other party naively thought that doing so would evade the police's eyes. We immediately knew the identity of the deceased based on the dental treatment records. The victim was a woman living in a nearby residential area. Let's assume her name was A Miss Zi. A few days ago, someone witnessed her leaving the company, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then. Her parents also requested the police to search, so we also asked her parents to come and identify the body as soon as possible. Although they are still quite confused, But I still hope to thank the person who found my daughter."

"And what about the criminal?"

"Ah, because the debris of the car was mixed in, the type of car can be locked in a very short time. The culprits are two junior high school students who live in the same residential area as Miss A, and they drove without a license on a whim. So they hit the victim. They argued that there was a ghost chasing them in the tunnel, that's why they were speeding, and hit him on the sharp turn because they missed the turn... As much as I would like to believe them, unfortunately, nowadays Japanese law does not recognize the existence of souls, and their confessions do not extenuate their crimes.

"They took a human life, and even if the circumstances are justifiable, they are unforgivable."

"It's so harsh."

Goto loosened his already loose tie, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on.

"I thought you should know..."

"I know, smoking is prohibited here, and I didn't light it, I just held it in my mouth." Goto said so, but he was holding the lighter tightly in his hand.

"Leaving aside the two teenagers, the bigger problem lies with their parents. After the two teenagers got into trouble, they probably contacted their parents, and then their parents..."

"Destroy corpses and wipe out traces." Yakumo answered with a disgusted expression.

"Exactly. They took the purses and purses from the dead and threw the body down the cliff."

The thought of such an outrageous act makes my stomach churn, and the discomfort makes me sick.

Corpses are not rubbish, we actually disregard human life and dispose of them at will.How cruel and cruel can human beings do in order to protect themselves...

"That's the outline of the matter, roughly the same as Yakumo expected."

Goto ended the topic, and closed the notepad with a bang.

"Ah, there is one thing I forgot to mention. They also cleverly asked a certain car repair shop to tidy up the blood-stained vehicle that caused the accident."

"Knowing that it was a car that was in trouble, but still helping them fix it."

"That's what happened, the police are now questioning where their garage is."

"Wait a minute," I said.

"What's the matter?" Officer Goto asked me.

"That car repair shop," I said, "is it possible that they have done similar things again? One of the idiots like those two middle school students is still pestering me."

"Oh?" Goto said meaningfully, looking at Yakumo.

"Don't look at it," I said calmly, "Even if Yakumo fell in love with him, I wouldn't choose that guy."

"What do you mean by that?" Yakumo started to stare at me again.

"Of course it's meant to compliment you."

"I don't think it's a compliment."

"That's such a pity."

"..." Yakumo was at a loss for words, and stared at me helplessly.

Officer Goto is still petrifying, and it seems that this is the first time he has seen the scene of Yakumo being deflated.

"Then, I'll leave the follow-up to you, officer." I stood up and picked up my bag, "I still have a class to attend, so let's go first..."

Tatsuya was driving the car he hadn't driven for a long time, but on the uphill road on the way to the university, he found an unexpected figure from behind.He honked the horn, and turned around with sleepy eyes—it was Saito Yakumo.Before, he let himself lose face in front of Haruka. To be honest, Yakumo was always around Haruka, which made him feel very disturbed. It seemed that he had to speak clearly first.Tatsuya opened the driver's window and drove the car closer to Yakumo.

"I was taken care of by you a lot before! I heard about it from Haruka, and I also listened to your advice and never approached that tunnel again."

Yakumo continued on without paying attention.

"Wait, I am solemnly thanking you!"

Tatsuya's car moved slowly in line with Yakumo's footsteps.

"I didn't do anything to make you thank me." Yakumo replied, looking straight ahead.

Tatsuya once again felt that this man was really annoying.Just looking at his eyes, which seem to be able to see everywhere in other people's hearts, makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Don't say that, if anything happens next time, I'll leave it to you."

"There will be no next time, and you will be blessed."

Tatsuya was speechless.

"You don't want to help your rival, do you?"

"Are you talking to me?"

"Who else but you?"

"Then you have found the wrong person. You can do whatever you like with her, it has nothing to do with me. I will neither hinder you nor interfere with you. The reason why I am cold to you is purely because you caused me Physiological resentment, don't make wild guesses.

Tatsuya suppressed the anger welling up in his heart.

"Don't forget what you said, I'm going on a date with her now, and we'll make up, do you have any objection?"

"As you please..."

In the middle of Yakumo's words, he suddenly frowned and stared at the back seat of Tatsuya's car.

"Who's the kid in your car...?"

"what?"

Tatsuya was at a loss as to what Yakumo meant. He glanced at the back seat, assuming that there was no one there.At this time, he suddenly remembered what happened when he visited Yakumo.

"Bastard! Do you want to talk about the baby spirit again?"

Tatsuya didn't know how Yakumo got the information, but he was declaring it everywhere, and he couldn't help being furious.

"It's not about the baby spirit, that child...could it be..."

"Enough! Do you think I will still be fooled by you? Go to hell!"

After Tatsuya said harsh words, he slammed on the accelerator and drove away.Yakumo's figure is getting smaller and smaller.That bastard!still staring at
