[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

! ”

Goto pointed at Yakumo and cursed, venting his depression and resentment.

"In any case, I always feel that the girl named Shiori is a serious suspect. Although I am embarrassed to say this to her, she has committed a heinous crime. After killing Emiko, her whereabouts are unknown. This is revenge for her lover being killed. This inference is reasonable, right? ?”

"Not at all." Yakumo said with his arms folded.

"Why?" Goto stared at Yakumo.

"Isn't there still a suicide note?"

"You don't understand, that kind of thing can be written by threatening her like this with a knife or something."

Goto said while simulating being kidnapped from behind.

"Will the handwriting match what was written under threat? Moreover, being forced to write a suicide note means that she is sure that she will be killed. It would be understandable if she wrote a distress letter. The broadcast time is two hours, and it is a serial drama based on suspense and reasoning content.

makes sense.Goto was dejected again here.

"Your initial thought is the most likely."

"maybe……"

"If you don't understand things, it always makes people feel unhappy. Just treat it as a dead horse and a living horse doctor, and go to the scene..."

"Would you like to go?"

Goto immediately lifted his spirits.

NINETEEN

After reading Shiori's letter, my mind went blank.

The content of the letter is completely unbelievable. It is clearly Shiori's handwriting, but the content is like someone else.

The letter that started with "I'm sorry" first explained the matter of Shiori's relationship. As Yakumo predicted, the two had an extramarital affair.They met in an izakaya and chatted by chance. Because the other party had different dreams in the same bed with his wife, he said that home was no longer his belonging, which resonated with Shi Zhi, who also had nowhere to go, so the two regarded each other as own refuge.

Soon, Shiori became pregnant, and the man decided to divorce his wife. At this time, he died, the cause of death was heart failure.Shiori had a miscarriage due to this blow.

However, Shizhi couldn't let go of it. When he was going to question his wife suspiciously, the other party came to her and asked her not to talk, and gave her 100 million cash to cover her mouth.

At that moment, Shiori understood that she killed him...

Then, she and the other party staged a full martial arts fight in front of the apartment.

From that moment on, Shiori felt a sense of hatred towards her, with murderous intent.She killed the person she loved, and wanted to cover her mouth with money to whitewash the peace.She couldn't forgive what she had done, and she had already lost everything.

Therefore, Shiori decided to kill her before committing suicide.

Then, at the end of the letter, the three words "sorry" were written——

The fact that he kept his mouth shut so far, the fact that he became a murderer and caused trouble for me as a friend, and the fact that he ended his life without authorization...

I pick up my phone.

Goto looked out the window from the driver's seat.Thick clouds drifted slowly, beginning to cast a layer of haze over the sky.

"It looks like it will rain." He said to Yakumo who was sitting in the passenger seat.

But Yakumo seemed to have never heard of it, and fell into deep thought just now.Goto couldn't figure out Yakumo's thinking circuit, so he could only ask.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

"Thinking of nothing."

Yakumo frowned in annoyance.呿!Goto was speechless.

At this time, the phone rang for a while, but it was not Goto's phone ringing, and Yakumo took out his phone from his pocket to answer it.

"Hey……"

A look of surprise appeared on Yakumo's face.Although it is not very clear, a female voice can still be heard on the other end of the phone,

"I see...so that's the case...so that's the thing..."

The conversation between them was anxiously slow, but Yakumo seemed to pick up something from Haruka.

"I'll contact you later, you wait for me." After speaking, Yakumo hung up the phone.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?"

"We are saying that you also have times when you can predict things like a god."

Just now I felt that he had become serious, but immediately returned to his original nature.

"Stop kidding, just say it!"

"Send it to Haruka's house."

"Haruka?"

"That's right, the letter from the girl named Shiori was sent to Haruka's house. It said that Haruka was going to kill Emiko before committing suicide..."

"What are you talking about! That's terrible! We must stop that girl named Shiori as soon as possible!"

"You say you want to stop her, but where are you going to search?"

"Well, there are many places..."

It is also true, for a lonely and helpless woman who left without even saying goodbye to her close friends, finding her whereabouts is as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Besides, if she wanted to die with all her heart, she would have been exhausted for a long time from the point of view, because her goal had also been achieved. If she had other goals, it would be a different matter at that time. Conversely, if she is not dead now , then I don’t intend to die afterwards.”

"Having said that, no one can assert that human emotions are like chemical reactions, which will only show specific results."

"That's a difference of opinion."

"However, in this way, the Tsubaki incident is over, so we don't need to go to the scene."

Goto was about to turn around, but Yakumo stopped him.

"No, let's go and have a look. There is something that I am very concerned about."

"Very concerned? What's the matter?"

"..."

After that, Yakumo remained silent, perhaps he was using his unique way of thinking to construct the framework of this incident.Although Goto was helpless, he still stayed with him to the end.

I hung up.

After explaining the contents of the letter to Yakumo as calmly as possible, I hung up the phone.

It's useless.

The chances of Shiori still alive are slim to none.

I leaned on the edge of the bed, carefully recalling every word Shiori said to me.

While thinking over and over again, I suddenly understood.

The next moment, I packed the envelope in my coat and rushed out of the house.

By the time Yakumo and Goto arrived at the scene of the fire, it had begun to drip with light rain, bitterly cold in December.

"I hope it won't snow..." Goto murmured looking up at the sky.

Yakumo walked slowly into the burnt building. Although he entered the house, the ceiling and walls were almost burned, making it hard to say that it was a complete "home"; glass and plastic.

"There is one thing I can't let go of." Yakumo suddenly stopped and asked Goto beside him.

"what's up?"

"After the girl named Shiori killed Emiko, why did she send the suicide note to the police in Emiko's name?"

"That, of course, is to steal the eyes and ears of the police."

"Is it really?"

"What do you mean?"

"If she has a reason to hide her crime, isn't it because she wants to live a good life?"

"That's right."

"Then, why did that girl named Shiori write to that guy? And she's planning to commit suicide..."

What Yakumo said was right, his heart was clamoring.A person who planned to commit suicide from the very beginning does not need to disguise the murder as a suicide. Only then does he feel that everything seems to have been revealed, but it is not the case, and they seem to have overlooked something.

The rain was gradually torrential, and the rainwater blackened by coking coal flowed to their feet, and the white breath from their mouths and noses almost obscured their sight.

Yakumo knelt on one knee in front of the figure drawn with white lines, staring intently at something.

"Can you see anything?"

Yakumo did not answer Goto.Did he not hear?Still don't want to answer?Although Goto couldn't see anything, Yakumo might have seen something, so it seemed that he could only wait.Goto was trying to light a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth, but he couldn't light it immediately because of the moisture.

"Why are you here..." Yakumo murmured.

The only sound in the air was the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.Goto waited quietly.

"I see...you've been here from the beginning. So...he..."

There was a thunderclap in the distance.

"There will be such a thing... then..."

"Hey Yakumo, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Goto, I have something I want to ask the forensic doctor to confirm, without delay."

"Forensic? What are you talking about?"

"Stop asking, hurry up!" Yakumo yelled ferociously.

Goto has never seen Yakumo so excited, the situation is very urgent.Goto immediately dialed Hatake's cell phone.

"What's the matter?" Hatake's leisurely voice came after the phone rang.

"There is something I want you to confirm."

"what's up?"

"Hey, Yakumo! What do you want to confirm?"

Yakumo didn't answer Goto, but directly grabbed the phone from him.

"Did the body that was burned before have no right little finger?"

Yakumo held the phone tightly and remained silent. It seemed that he had expected it, but Goto didn't understand what it meant?

After Yakumo hung up the phone, he quickly dialed a number.

I thought it wouldn't matter, but the rain started to intensify.

I didn't expect it to be so cold, I wish I could come out with an umbrella, I thought, holding my arms tightly.Fortunately, the coat is waterproof, and the envelope was placed in the innermost place next to my body.

Surrounded by bustling crowds, they were incompatible with the cold me, laughing and frolicking naturally and freely.

The loneliness I felt at the moment when I learned that Shiori was gone came back again.

The existence of Shiori is almost equivalent to my second sister, but she is not a substitute for my sister. Both of them take care of me with the same tenderness. Without them, I would never be a normal person like this Let's live with the gesture until now.

But these two people who led me into society, when they encountered misfortune,
