[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

how to explain? "

"I was wrong."

Yakumo said with a big yawn.

"You also saw the soul of the girl in the river?"

I nodded.

"In this case, the girl's soul is still in the river, not with your friend, so I say I made a mistake."

"But Mayuko said she would be immobilized, see the girl's soul, hear voices, etc.?"

Yakumo scratched his hair impatiently.

"People are creatures that are easy to believe in things. Mayuko's situation is due to the horror experience of seeing the soul of a girl in the river before. Because she really hit a ghost, that's why she thought she was possessed by a ghost. .”

"Afterwards, she always wondered if the ghost lived by her side, and continued to live this kind of life. In the dark room, she saw something she couldn't distinguish and thought it was the figure of a girl, and she heard some unclear small voices. It felt like a human voice.”

"I see." I nodded.

"But then again," Yakumo said.

"what?"

"I'm very interested in the conjecture you said earlier," Yakumo said, "Why do you say that Dr. Kinoshita is the one who did these things?"

"This?" I narrowed my eyes happily, "Until I find the evidence, you should be considered a gift from a previous life."

"Are you kidding me?" Yakumo was like a cat whose sleep had been disturbed, his cheeks twitched slightly with displeasure on his face. "What kind of look is that, it's disgusting, don't look at me like that!"

"Although I can tell Mayuko..." I said slowly, "'I've been expelled, it's all right' or something, but..." I looked at him meaningfully.

"I see. Please, stop looking at me with such disgusting eyes!"

I looked at the crazy Yakumo, and happily raised the corners of my mouth.

Goto leaned back on the passenger seat with a vicious expression on his face. Ishii was thinking why Goto had disappeared so early in the morning, and then he suddenly appeared in front of him, and said "Let's go!" and took him out , drove to the university, Goto should be going to meet the young man named Yakumo!

"Officer Goto, may I ask what happened?"

Ishii asked while driving.

"That's why I said you're useless, you idiot!"

Goto was furious.

"But I haven't heard anything!"

"Won't you do anything without telling you? If you're still a criminal policeman, you should always prick up your ears and be sensitive to all the information! Even that female reporter is much better than you!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Ishii was helpless against Goto's barrage of lectures.

"Although it hasn't been released yet, I found it again."

Ishii was confused by Goto's words

"The body of girl No.3 was found dumped in a dump this morning."

The third?The girl's body?Landfill?

"Huh? But, but the murderer is Ando, ​​and Ando has long been"

"Your empress dowager is too late, that's why I'm in such a hurry!"

Goto was talking in the car, so it turned out to be such a thing, just like Officer Goto said, now is not the time to relax.How could he not know about such a major incident?Ishii is really an unqualified criminal policeman.

But having said that, why go to Yakumo?Ishii couldn't understand it.

I went back to my room, and I fell on the bed, feeling a wave of tiredness sweeping over me.

Before that, Yakumo and I went to Mayuko's residence together. As soon as Yakumo entered the house, he said, "It's so strong! I feel a very strong yin energy!"

Finally, Yakumo said, "I'm going to start the exorcism now. The process is very dangerous. Please wait for me outside for an hour."

Mayuko couldn't help asking me, "I saw him in school, is he really a psychic?"

I said calmly, "No problem, his family is a well-known family of psychics!" I acted out a clumsy drama in conjunction with Yakumo.

Yakumo waited for Mayuko to come out of the room and said to me, "Wake me up in an hour." Then he grabbed a cushion and began to take a nap.

An hour later, Mayuko returned to her room.Yakumo clasped his hands together and said nonchalantly: "The yin energy is very strong, but I have finally subdued it. The girl's ghost will not appear in front of you again." Of course I would not break his lines and say: "You Are you just sleeping?"

Perhaps it was the joy of being freed from fear that made Mayuko's tears flow down. Although it is unfair to say this, I was also relieved.

In the end, Yakumo accepted the money from Mayuko.He said with a serious face: "If you don't take her money, it won't be realistic enough."

I silently stretched out a hand to ask for a dividend.

"You asked me for a dividend!" Yakumo looked at me the same way I looked at him before.

"..." After appreciating silently for a while, I said calmly, "Hush money."

Ahhh, don’t be too cute with fried cats~ 0w0

As soon as I sat up, my phone rang, and it was my mother.

"I haven't heard from you recently, how are you doing?"

As soon as I picked up the phone, my mother's tone of "I really don't care about you" came from the other end, and I was noncommittal.He said lightly, "Well, very good."

"What's going on? Your voice sounds a little muffled."

Seen through by mother.Although there is nothing on the surface, the reason why I feel a little depressed may be because of the influence of Dr. Kinoshita. The pair of red eyes that always appear in my dreams recently still left a shadow in my heart.

"Mom, were you sad when your sister died?"

I don't know why I'm asking this question, the words are already out when I realize it.Probably because of the conversation between Yakumo and Dr. Kinoshita.

"Of course! Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

It's only natural for my mother to feel strange.

"I'm currently studying criminal psychology in college, and one of the classes talks about the feelings of the families of the victims, so I thought of asking you."

I said.

"What would you think if my sister was killed instead of an accident?"

"What do you think?"

"Like hating a murderer or something."

"Of course I hate the murderer!"

"Do you want to kill the murderer then?"

A silence continued between us.

Suddenly, my mother's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, if I can bring the child back from the dead, then I will kill the murderer. It doesn't matter whether the child died of murder, accident or illness, it's the same for us parents, even if the child died of illness, we can't let go The same is true for being killed. In short, parents only hope that their children can live well, and if they can get revenge, they can bring their children back to themselves. I am willing to kill as many people as I want.”

Sure enough, it's not worse than I guessed.I thought, not speaking for a moment.

"Haruka, what are you thinking?"

I was silent, and I absolutely could not tell my mother what I was thinking at the moment.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Mother's voice sounded far away.

"Haruka, aren't you still blaming yourself?"

My mother's unexpected words made me lose my ability to think.

"You always felt that your sister's death was your responsibility, right?"

How could my mother know, I never told anyone, and I never showed it!but why--

"Mom, you know?"

The secret that I had hidden in my heart for a long time was revealed by my mother in one word.

"Of course, you think I've been your mother for a few years?"

"20 years." I said honestly.

"It's good that you know. Haruka, your sister's death was not your responsibility. You just threw the ball away for fun. You didn't mean to kill your sister. It was just an accident."

Mom even knows these things?I had planned to bury it in my heart for the rest of my life.

"Haruka, you are you, not your sister. For parents, it doesn't matter whether you do your homework or exercise. As long as you can live happily, that's enough. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

I nodded silently.My mother's words warmed my body.

"Mom, you really know everything!"

"Do you have someone you like now?"

My mother suddenly asked me this question, which made me stunned.

"Why do you think so?"

"When you came back, you were always giggling alone!"

"Have it?"

"Yes. What kind of person is the other party?"

I didn't realize it myself, maybe it was his relationship!

"It's awkward, it's its own way, but it's unexpectedly gentle, and it's a very interesting person."

"Ah! I'm more interested now, tell me more."

Mother smiled happily.

"Well, I'll tell you next time I get home."

After I hung up the phone, I closed my eyes and fell straight into a dark, sweet, dreamless sleep.

How long is Officer Goto planning to stay here?

It had been nearly two hours since I arrived at Yakumo's home in the university, but Goto-san seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.Ishii didn't understand why he was so persistent.

"Damn it! Where did that bastard go? Such a serious thing happened!"

Goto yelled anxiously.

At this moment, Yakumo opened the door and entered.

"Oh! Yakumo! You're finally back!"

Yakumo showed his dislike for the yelling Goto.

"This is trespassing, Mr. Ishii, please arrest this man as a criminal."

Yakumo pointed to Goto and said.If Goto is to be arrested, isn't Ishii also an accomplice?

"Sorry, now is not the time to fight with tongues and lips."

"What a coincidence, I don't have time to play games with Goto-san either."

"I didn't mean that! I found out
