[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

Fuji parked the car in the apartment's parking lot.It was supposed to be a resident's parking space, but he didn't care.

"is it here?"

Yakumo murmured looking up at the apartment, Goto also raised his head and looked up at the family-style apartment.The twelve-story building, named Riverside Apartments, really lives up to its name.

"It's too luxurious for a judicial trainee."

Yakumo was right.

"And there is also a parking lot, and you can drive a black-headed Mercedes."

"It's really a blessing."

"Hmph! The apartment here is bigger than my house!"

"Do you have an apartment?"

"Can't you?"

"Wild bears are supposed to live in the wild."

"The strange cat living in the school has no right to speak of me!"

Yakumo didn't hear Goto's cynicism, and had already walked towards the door of the apartment.

They went to the management office to borrow the key to the house where San Ando lived before.Ando's house is located on the top twelfth floor.

"Still living on the top floor!"

Goto grumbled.

Open the door to hope in vain!The house with three bedrooms and two living rooms is maintained like a sample house.

Goto inspected every room, bathroom, kitchen, and toilet, but there was nothing in it.

"Hey, Yakumo, did you see anything?"

Goto asked that he had been looking at Yakumo outside the house in the living room.

"No, what I saw was exactly the same as what you saw."

Yakumo replied without thinking.Then I didn't have too much expectation.It doesn't help to be depressed, let's go to the next place!Goto made a decisive decision to shift positions, but Yakumo took a different approach.

"Goto-san, can you show me the key that Ando holds?"

"why?"

"Don't ask, just give it to me."

Under Yakumo's urging, Goto took out the key in the plastic bag from his pocket, and Yakumo murmured while staring at the key after taking it.

"E-[-] I found it."

"What? Really? Where?" Goto searched desperately in the living room.on the ground?ceiling?or the walls?Where?Where?Where is it?

"Are you sniffing something?"

"It's so noisy! Tell me if you have time to joke around!"

Yakumo slowly pointed to the outside of the wall, Goto followed the direction of Yakumo's finger and saw a river running through the whole city, and Minato where Ayaka's body was found.What Yakumo is referring to is a concrete flat-roofed building a few meters upstream from the water gate. It is an old water gate, and the wall of the old water gate reads

"E-[-]"

Yakumo said.

Yes, E-[-] was written on the wall of the old Watergate.

The next place Ishii went to was a family restaurant in a neighboring county. His purpose was to meet Ando Sei's sister.

Ishii sat down in this ordinary restaurant by the window and ordered a cup of coffee.In fact, he was already hungry, but he didn't come here to fill his stomach.

To be precise, Hiroko is Sei Ando's half-sister.Sheng Ando was born by his mistress, while Hiroko was born by his wife. The relationship between them seems to be very bad.

When Ishii called Sei Ando's hometown in Kyushu, the long-tongued servant kept talking about things he didn't ask, and the servant told him Hiroko's contact information.The servant even suggested to Ishii that after getting married, Hiroko moved to the place where he lives now with her husband's transfer, so she might as well ask her about it.

Early this morning, Ishii said to Hiroko, "I want to ask you about Sei Ando", and the phone was hung up immediately.Goto continued to mediate, and finally agreed to meet at a family restaurant far away from Hiroko's house for 10 minutes in the evening.How did Goto negotiate with her?As expected of Officer Goto.

"What do you want to ask?"

A woman suddenly sat in front of Ishii, and the unfriendly tone was indeed Hiroko himself.Hiroko is fair and slender, wearing a black one-piece dress, and the jewelry on her body seems too ostentatious for a housewife

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here"

"If you really think so, don't waste your time with polite words, I want to end it quickly."

Hiroko has an arrogant and unreasonable attitude, and she is the type Ishii is least good at getting along with.

"Sorry, I want to know what kind of person Ando-san is."

"Huh? Are you the only one here? Where's the detective who called me?"

He clearly said that he wanted to end it quickly, but he changed the subject again.

"Officer Goto has something else to do"

"What a pity! I really want to see him, I have no resistance to that kind of tough man!"

Where did the talk go now?

"Can I continue the conversation?"

"Please."

Hiroko waved away the waitress who came to order, and lit a cigarette.

"What kind of person is Ando-san?"

"waste!"

"what?"

"Didn't you hear? He's trash, you can call him trash."

A strong revulsion rose in Ishii's heart, but he suppressed it.

"Can you describe it more clearly and precisely?"

"That's very appropriate! He always looks timid. I don't care if he is the child of that woman, but my father doesn't need to adopt him at all. The child born by himself can be raised by himself! Suicide Then leave the mess to others to clean up, and there must be a limit to being shameless.”

Is it necessary to speak so harshly?

"Why do you hate him so much?"

"Of course! I was almost killed by him!"

Hiroko's grinning expression made the makeup on her lids and the clothes on her body meaningless.

"How to say?"

"That's it! When he first came to our house, I tried to get close to him at first, but he was always timid, so I said to him, 'If you are with your mother It’s good to die”, and he suddenly strangled my neck! That guy has a problem with his head!”

"But he's your brother, right?"

"That's just in name, we only bleed half the same blood. But isn't that weird? Who knows if that woman is messing around outside!"

You are not qualified to talk about others, are you?Ishii almost blurted out.

"Our family adopted him because we couldn't help ourselves. Dad has repeatedly stated that if he brings shame to the Ando family, he will be expelled from the house."

Shame the Ando family?What do you mean, Ishii didn't understand.Is it to use money to build up the facade of Ando's family to conform to their external image?

"Although he worked hard to become a judicial trainee, that incident made his efforts come to naught. How stupid! Dad was so angry that he wanted to disown him."

Hiroko didn't care about the eyes around him and smiled too much.

what's so funny?Ishii completely understood.

After that, Hiroko kept talking about his resentment towards Ando-san during the two hours downstairs, and what he talked about for only 10 minutes was thrown out of the sky.

Having said that, what is it like to live under one roof with someone you hate?Ishii could only be sure that Sei Ando, ​​who had lost his mother and was scarred in his heart, had some idea in his heart.

In the end, San Ando ended up being abandoned like his mother.

When Goto and Yakumo came to Minato, the darkness had already enveloped the earth.Because the water gate can be seen from the apartment, they chose to walk there on foot. They didn't expect to actually walk there and found that there was a long distance.

This should be covered to monitor the water level, right?It was shaped like a surveillance hut, but since the opening of the new water gate [-] meters downstream, no one has used it here.

Compared with the rusty and mottled iron gate, the keyhole is brand new, it must have been reinstalled later, right?

Goto inserted the key into the eighth keyhole.

"Keng!" With a sound, the door was opened.

"Guess right!"

Yakumo, who was standing behind Goto, said.

Goto opened the door and walked into the house. He pressed a switch that looked like a light on the wall at the entrance, but there was no response.

The smell of rust was overwhelming.Goto illuminated the room with a lighter, and found a set of huge motors that should be used to switch the water door.

Suddenly there was a burst of metal collisions.what is that?Inside the motor!Yakumo patted Goto on the shoulder, looked carefully, and handed it to Goto with an iron pipe that he did not know where it came from.What is Yakumo going to do with this?

Goto took over the iron pipe, and Yakumo pointed to the right side to whisper to him.Goto followed Yakumo's instructions and circled to the inside of the motor from the right, while Yakumo came from the left to attack from both sides.

After the pain, turn off the lighter, and as soon as the eyes get used to the darkness, you can see.Careful not to make any noise, he made his way toward the motor.

Kasha!

There was another sound, which seemed to be dragging something.What's ahead?Goto wiped the sweat from his palms on his trousers, held the iron pipe tightly, took a deep breath, and flew out at the right time, and swung the iron pipe down heavily.

The source of the sound was knocked out.

"It sucks!"

Sha Teng dropped the iron pipe and ran over quickly, lit the lighter and saw a long-haired girl in front of her, the girl was already furious, when her turbid pupils caught Goto's figure, her dry lips slightly He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Yakumo!"

Before Goto could yell, Yakumo had already rushed out with all his might.

"It's all right, it's all right."

Goto put his top on the girl and stroked the girl's head.She should be the girl Keiko who is currently missing!

That bastard did such a thing!A raging anger ignited in Goto's heart.

When Ishii arrived, the scene was already crowded by patrol cars, police and onlookers, and it took him a lot of time to find a parking space.He's so remiss, it's obviously Goto
