[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

Then, blinked his eyes.As soon as I turned my head, I saw the trembling criminal policeman on the side

"Are you OK?"

Ishii raised his head, and I stood in front of him.Ishii stood up quickly for some reason.

"It's fine, it's a small matter, it's fine."

"But you're bleeding."

I pointed to Ishii's right hand.Ishii was too focused on the task just now, so he didn't notice a sharp tooth mark on his right hand at all, and the tooth mark was still bleeding.

"Ah, it's blood!"

Ishii also felt that he was very off-line, and I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this.

"Please use this!"

I handed the gauze to Ishii.

"There's a lot of gauze in that room, so it shouldn't matter if you steal some."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Ishii took the gauze from my hand and pressed the wound.

"It's better to go to the hospital!"

I sat down on the chair while talking.

"Aren't you sitting down?"

"Ah! No, I like to stand."

Ishii's whole body stiffened.He couldn't say a word, he just looked at me out of the corner of his eye.

The door in front of me was opened, Yakumo walked out

"gone back."

I stood up after hearing Yakumo's words.

"Speaking of which, it's time for dinner."

"Oh? It's so rare that you still remember to eat."

"Don't say that, they have consumed a lot of energy."

I followed Yakumo's figure who was walking away quickly.

Isn't everything over?Even Hatake couldn't hide his surprise.

It's true that Ando San should be the murderer, and Yakumo exorcised his soul yesterday.

Furthermore, Ando had already died at that time, even if his soul was not exorcised, he would not be committing crimes anymore.

But the facts are in front of us.Exactly the same modus operandi as before, a 14-year-old girl was found in the dump in the morning, soaked and drowned, with bruises on her ankles.

Her name is Rumi Hashimoto. She didn't come home all day yesterday. However, because she had stayed out all night several times, my parents didn't take it seriously and didn't call the police. They just waited for their daughter to go home.

The other investigators must have been astonished as well!None of them knew how to accept what was happening before them.

Hatake inadvertently felt a gaze.here we go again!Someone was looking at him again.Hatake looked around at the crowd of onlookers.

found it!it's him!Hatake had also seen his man in sunglasses at the previous crime scene.He flashed an arrogant smile.What's so funny in such a noisy environment?The last time was fine, and this time he ran out again?Where the hell is he?

The man slowly took off his sunglasses.Hatake saw it, was it because of the light?No, no, that man has fiery red eyes.

"Hey! Dad! What's going on here?"

Goto yelled as soon as he opened the door.

"It's so noisy, can't you be quiet?"

Hatake wrinkled his face impatiently.Goto couldn't control that much, he sat down on the round chair.

"How can I be quiet? Another victim appeared! What is going on here?"

"That's what happened, and I want to know the reason too."

Hatake replied perfunctorily.It seems that even a self-seeking monster like him can't hide his anxiety at this time.

"Where's the victim?"

"Rumi Hashimoto, 14 years old, drowned and dumped her body in a garbage dump. The method of killing and the abandonment of the body are the same as that of No. 2 victim Miho, and there are scratches on her right foot. This is the same as All the victims are the same. The girl who was rescued was called Keiko, right? Didn’t I also be imprisoned with a chain on my right foot? That’s how the scars should have come from.”

Hatake opened the documents on the table, and continued as if talking to himself.

"She didn't go home yesterday, and her parents let me go as usual. In short, the body was found without any threats from gangsters. Maybe it was because the news reports said that the whole incident had been solved. Let them take it easy."

How could this happen?This time the police have lost face!But, in this way——

"Father, do you think Sei Ando is not the murderer?"

"Impossible. If he is not the murderer, there are many doubts that cannot be explained. Although it is still in the stage of investigation, we did find Ando's fingerprints in the old water gate, and also found the relics of No. 1 victim Ayaka. .Including physical evidence such as school bags, hair, etc., so the murderer is definitely Ando."

"Then why did the third body escape?"

"I don't know. My job is to test the dead bodies. It's your job to investigate, right?"

How dare I say it!This perverted old man!

In any case, I had to ask Yakumo to go out again.

"excuse me."

Goto stood up, but was stopped by himself when he was about to leave.

"Have you ever seen this man?"

While talking, Hatake handed a photo to Goto.

In the photo, there is a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, his face is pale, and there is a faint smile on his mouth.

Goto's blood seemed to freeze.He will never forget this face!this person is this person is

"Hey! Dad, where did you get this picture?"

"At the scene of the dumping of the corpse. He was also there when the body of the No.2 victim, Miho, was found, and this time he was watching from a distance."

He actually appeared at the scene of the abandoned corpse?So, is that person connected to this chain of events?If this is the case, then things are not trivial.

In Goto's mind, the fake homicide incident of fraudulently claiming insurance money a month ago appeared in Goto's mind.

"It's fine once, but he showed up twice, and the sneering expression looked like a curious crowd watching, so I took a few photos."

"Daddy, lend me this photo."

"Borrow a photo? Do you have a bottom line?"

Goto turned a deaf ear and left Hatake's house, striding forward while looking at the photo in his hand repeatedly.

Not only do I have a bottom line in my heart!I didn't expect to meet again at this time

The next day, Yakumo and I came to Kinoshita's hospital together.

We have two purposes, one is to come to thank Kinoshita for saving me, and the other is to ask him about the soul of the girl in the river.

That topic was interrupted yesterday because of the exorcism.Yakumo wants to know the reason why Ayaka still stays in that river even though the murderer has been arrested.What does Ayaka mean by "Papa, stop"?

Kinoshita was not at all upset by our sudden visit, but instead said "Welcome" to us, and then invited Yakumo and me into the consultation room.

"Sorry we came uninvited. I wanted to thank you for the last few days, thank you so much for saving me."

As soon as I entered the consulting room, I bowed deeply to Dr. Kinoshita.

"Don't worry about it, I just did what I was supposed to do."

Kinoshita said with a smile.He urged them to sit down, and we both sat down.

"I have something to ask you today."

Yakumo spoke directly.

"Speaking of which, Yakumo has become a detective, I'm really happy for you!"

Kinoshita narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Huh?Yakumo became a criminal police officer?when did it happen?I was puzzled by what Kinoshita said.

"I'm not a detective, that's just a lie that Mr. Goto told casually."

It turned out to be the case.

"Really?"

"I'm just a student."

"Then you didn't come here because of my daughter?"

"No, although this is not an investigation, I do want to ask you about Lingmei."

Kinoshita didn't seem to understand, he looked at Yakumo with sizing eyes.This is understandable, he can tell the police anything about his daughter, but there is no need to say anything to a person who has nothing to do with it.

"However, I received a notification from the police that the case has been solved."

"Yes, the murderer has been identified."

"Then what else do you want to know?"

After Yakumo took a deep breath, he spoke with an abnormally cautious tone.

"Doctor Kinoshita, is there anything you want to do for Rei?"

Kinoshita stared at Yakumo with his mouth half open, his expression seemed to say "I don't understand what you're talking about".

"Have you ever made a promise with your dead daughter?"

"I made a promise with her."

Kinoshita showed a surprised expression for a moment, and then returned to his original expression to answer Yakumo.

"How do you know?"

Yakumo took off the black contact lens on his left eye, and stared directly at Kinoshita with his fiery left eye.

"You know about my eyes, right?"

"Well, of course I know."

Huh?of course I know?Did Dr. Kinoshita know about Yakumo's eyes from before?Eye fragrance full of doubts.

"My eyes aren't just a different color."

"How to say?"

"It may be unbelievable to you as a doctor, but my left eye can see the souls of the dead."

Kinoshita was noncommittal, just looked at Yakumo silently.

"Yesterday I saw Lingmei by the river where her body was found."

When Kinoshita heard these words, his eyes widened instantly, and he grabbed Yakumo's shoulders and shook them vigorously.

"Really? Is what you said true? Ayaka is indeed there!"

The calm attitude just now seemed to be faking, Kinoshita's face flushed, and he was extremely excited.

Could it be...Combined with the memory of the girl who is suspected to be my previous life, I have a bad prediction in my heart.

"Yakumo, can you talk to the dead?"

"Although I can't talk like a normal person, it's still possible to some extent."

"Ayaka, what did Ayaka say?"

Kinoshita shook Yakumo's shoulder even more excitedly.

"Please cool down
