[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

There is a photo of a male deceased on the file.San Ando, ​​on that thin and sickly face, there is a crack from the left forehead to the bridge of the nose.

"At the age of 15, my father was a member of the prefectural assembly in Kyushu. He was a judicial trainee until last year. Because of a small incident, he became an idler.

"No mistake, it's this man."

Yakumo pointed to the photo and asserted.

"But why are you interested in this car accident?"

"It's hard to say."

After finishing speaking, put your hands on your chest on your back knees.

"That's why I asked you why!"

Really, couldn't he have understood a little of the meaning of the words?Goto, this man's head is really hard!He felt that he was not so much a hot-blooded police officer, let alone just a simple fool.

"The soul of the man who died in this car accident was possessed by a woman."

Yakumo explained instead of Goto.Hatake felt that Yakumo's participation in this matter must be related to supernatural events.It turned out to be such a thing.

"This is really interesting."

"This man is very obsessed with "life", and he also uses it with a lot of malice. I think there must be some reason why the souls of the dead are attached to the living?"

Hatake couldn't help admiring not only being able to see the soul, but being able to perceive it.

"Mr. Hatake, did you find anything?"

"This one"

Hatake tried to recall, but couldn't recall anything unusual.

"Father, where's the body?"

"It has already been cremated, and they have been dead for almost four days."

"Exactly."

"His family soon came to take the ashes back, and I think he even gave up the rent on his apartment!"

Hatake put his hands on his chest and said.

"But he died at a young age, his family should be very sad, right?"

Goto read the information and said.His words reminded Hatake suddenly of one thing.

"His family members are very indifferent, and even the formalities are completed in a very formulaic way."

"Really?"

Goto then asked.

"He seems to have belonged to the Ando family. Ando-san has always entrusted his mother to live with each other. After his mother committed suicide, he was adopted by the Ando family."

"Shouldn't it be"

Only Goto, who was keen in this regard, spoke.

"Exactly. Ando's family is a big landowner. They claim that they have no heirs, and Sheng's mother is Ando's mistress. In other words, Sheng is indeed Ando's biological son."

"How do you know these things?"

Goto interrupted to ask a question, which was also the question in everyone's mind.

"Because I had to go through formalities and so on, when I got in touch with his family, their servants liked to gossip, and even talked about things I didn't ask, but it was quite interesting. If you are interested, you can call and the servant can provide you with more detailed jj than the Ando family.”

"Tsk! If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing!"

Goto snorted coldly.

"Although there is one more thing that is not related, this incident is a bit weird. Probably yesterday, Ando San's family sent back some of his relics, saying that they were not holy things."

"What did we bring back?"

"I remember a Bible the size of a pamphlet, and a key."?Hatake said while searching his memory.

"Where?"

"Underground warehouse."

"Ishii! Hurry up!"

Goto suddenly yelled.

"what?"

The sudden call made Ishii at a loss.

"Hurry up and find that thing!"

"Ah yes!"

Suddenly, Ishii came out of the door.

"It's a water-blue envelope with "Ando" written on it! "

Hatake yelled towards Ishii's running back.

"It's really pitiful to be your subordinate!"

Hatake murmured emotionally.

Ishii walked down the stairs and opened the door of the underground warehouse.

Rows of shelves higher than themselves.Do you want to start from such a large amount of information?Just thinking about it made Ishii feel depressed.

What's the point of such a treasure hunt?

No, no!Now is not the time to be suspicious.Goto is a ghost detective, he must have felt something with his sensitive intuition.He had to trust Officer Goto.

Ishii kept telling himself to start this huge project.

Goto became restless. Ishii had been away for nearly an hour, and Hatake left first because he had other work to do.

Although Goto appreciates Ishii's enthusiasm for work, it seems that Ishii has misused his enthusiasm.

"That guy Ishii is really slow!"

"Otherwise, you can help me."

Yakumo spoke while sitting in Hataker's seat.

"If you want to go, you will go!"

"Mr. Ishii is your subordinate and has nothing to do with me."

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

Tsk!There was no way to take advantage of him with words.

"Goto-san, I always feel that your personality has become different recently."

Yakumo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.This guy must be cheating when he shows this expression.

"Really? I don't think so."

Although Goto denied Yakumo's words on the surface, in fact, he himself knew it well.Since Ishii was assigned to this unit, he also felt that his pace had been completely disrupted.

"It's under the influence of Ishii-san, right?"

Well!This guy gave it away again.

"It has nothing to do with him."

Goto pretended to be calm and said.

"Goto-san, please be kind to him."

"Huh? I didn't expect to hear the word 'kindness' from you!"

"Did you really not notice?"

What nonsense has this guy been talking over there since just now?Goto was defensive because he couldn't see through Yakumo's thoughts.

"Mr. Ishii has a good impression of you."

"What? Hold an ice cube (Note [-])?"

"Did you do it on purpose? It's a "favor", which means that he is interested in you. "

"What, what, what, what"

What nonsense is this guy talking about!Goto's heart was throbbing violently.

How is my heart beating!calm down!

Goto was not indifferent to what Yakumo said, and Ishii looked at him like a puppy looking forward to being fed.Being stared at by a man with that kind of eyes really made Goto not know what to do.

"Yakumo, listen carefully, you have to have a sense of humor! I am a man, and he is also a man, do you understand?"

Note 2: "KOUI" in Japanese is a homophony of "KOURI" in ice cubes.

"I didn't expect you to be so rigid in your thinking. There is no gender distinction when liking someone, what matters is what you think in your heart."

"You don't care what I think! I don't have this habit, and neither does Ishii!"

Beads of sweat appeared on Goto's forehead.

"Are you sure?"

"Ah, of course!"

"Officer Goto! I found it!"

At this moment, Ishii just came back with the envelope.

Yakumo bastard!It's all because he said some inexplicable words, which made me dare not look at Ishii's face now!

"Hurry up and check what's inside!"

Yakumo said nonchalantly.

Ishii took out the contents of the envelope and placed them on the table.As Hatake said, there was a handbook-sized black leather Bible and a brand new key.

Ah it's over!Goto doesn't know how to face Ishii now!Even though what they were searching for was right in front of them, the conversation he had with Yakumo just now couldn't get out of their minds.

"Goto-san, please don't think about that right now."

Yakumo glanced at Goto and pursed his lips into a smile.

This bastard!And it's not all because you said some nonsense!You clearly don't understand my feelings at all, let me remember!Goto bit his lower lip, adjusted his mood, and picked up the key on the table.

There is a sticker on the key that says "E-[-]".However, even if you hold it in your hand, you don't know where the key is, which really makes people lose the motivation to look for it.

Yakumo took the Bible and quickly turned the pages.

Goto has a sense of futility.

"Goto-san, please look at this."

Yakumo put a photo on the table, in the photo was a girl with a ponytail, wearing a suit and uniform.This photo was taken in an unknown room. At first glance, one might think that the girl is smiling, but if one looks closely, one will find that the girl's eyes are filled with tears.

"This picture is in the Bible."

Why clip photos into the Bible?Who the hell is this girl?

"This is Ayaka!"

Ishii suddenly yelled loudly, making people's eardrums ache.

"It's so noisy. What the hell is your name!"

Ishii's appearance was unusual, he was so excited that he seemed to faint.

"Because the person in the photo is Ayaka!"

"You said it! Your friend?"

"No, I'm not my friend, she is the first victim of this serial abduction and murder!"

"what!"

Goto also stood up excitedly.Is that Ayaka?The case that the police are doing their best to investigate?Not only Ayaka, the body of No.2 victim Miho was also found in the garbage dump a few days ago, and since four days ago, Keiko has also disappeared.

After that time, Goto was excluded from the investigation team. He didn't read the relevant information carefully, so he didn't find out.Why does Sei Ando, ​​who died in a car accident, have a photo of Ayaka?

"Perhaps it's because of this photo in the Bible that Sei Ando's family thought it wasn't his property!"

Yakumo said, and the facts are just as Yakumo guessed.The old man Hatake threw it into the warehouse without checking the contents at all.

However, most people would not associate that traffic accident with the serial abduction and murder incidents.

"Things don't seem to be simple
