[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

listen.Maybe it's because he is engaged in this line of work, so he can always guide the topic skillfully.

But is this psychic real or fake?Now Mami has lost her ability to calmly judge, so I have to be strict.Makoto thought to herself.

"I see. I have roughly understood the ins and outs of this matter."

After listening to the process of the two explaining the whole matter, a smile appeared on the corner of Shenshan's mouth.The reaction of Shenshan is very different from that of ordinary psychics, because they usually say things like "If you continue like this, you may lose your life" to scare people.

"From what you just said, I think it should be a floating spirit."

"Floating spirit?"

Makoto asked after repeating Shenshan's words.She had heard the term before, but she didn't know what it actually was.

"According to the characteristics of spirits, there are many kinds of classifications, and there are different views among psychics, but they can be roughly divided into two types: self-bound spirits and floating spirits. The so-called self-bound spirits, just like its name, are It will be bound by a specific place or thing, usually in the place of being killed or committing suicide; while the self-bound spirit is bound by negative emotions such as strong hatred and sadness. However, some people say that the self-bound spirit will be attached to the the living to escape from bondage."

So, the disaster that happened to Makoto before was that Ando's self-binding spirit was attached to Makoto?

"As for the floating spirits, just like the literal meaning, they can't become Buddhas, they can only wander around in the world; they can't realize that they are dead, and they want others to know their existence."

Shenshan's explanation made Zhenqin feel as if she was in a school classroom, and it sounded simple, clear and well-organized.Although Shenshan is a psychic medium, he will not frighten people casually and incite other people's uneasy emotions, which is completely different from the impression of psychic mediums that Makoto knows.

"I think, maybe the two of you just happened to see that floating spirit in a bar! Miss Mami unknowingly brought that spirit home."

"Then I'll be fine?"

Asami grabbed Kamiyama's wrist and asked urgently.Shenshan didn't move at all, just shook his head.

"I don't think it will cause any harm. But just to be on the safe side, can I go to Mami-san's house and have a look?"

Asami nodded her head, said "Please", bowed deeply again, and held Makoto's hand tightly. "Makoto, please accompany me." Of course, Makoto couldn't refuse her plea.

"excuse me."

Goto Daikai Yakumo was in the room where the school lived, and a gust of heat hit him head-on.It's a shame that Yakumo can still stay in this kind of sauna-like room.Yakumo sat on the chair facing Goto with a sleepy look.

"What, so it's Goto-san!"

What are you talking about?Obviously Yakumo called him here.Goto sat down on the chair opposite Yakumo, and threw the kraft paper tape containing the materials to Yakumo.

"Here's your profile."

"Thank you. Didn't Mr. Ishii come with you today?"

"He said he was afraid of you."

Ishii stubbornly said that he would not come here even if he died.Goto couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help asking him why he hated coming here with his fists, so he said: "I will be afraid." Obviously he likes strange things so much, he can be useless any more!

"No way, most people react like this."

Yakumo didn't seem to care much, and said calmly.Being taboo because of this ability is probably extremely natural for Yakumo.

Yakumo took out the materials from the kraft paper bag and placed them on the table.

"Sure enough, a woman committed suicide in that apartment once."

Yakumo said while staring intently at the documents on the table.

"I have to take some responsibility for her death."

While Goto was talking, he also felt a sense of suffocation in his heart.

"Did you have an affair with her?"

"Idiot! How is it possible!"

Really!This guy really can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth.

"Then what happened between you two?"

Yakumo looked at Goto seriously.If possible, Goto really didn't want to say it, but the reality couldn't allow him to do so.Goto patted his cheeks with both hands, and spoke after changing his mood.

"She was raped/violent before committing suicide, shortly after she graduated from high school and started college."

What kind of life blueprint has she drawn for the future?This thought sometimes crosses Goto's mind inadvertently.

"On the way home from work, she was forcibly pulled into the car and taken away, and then brutally jjjed. She should have resisted a while, so the marks of the beating remained on her face. The cruel thing is that she was continuously tortured. / Six hours after the storm, they were dumped in the park.”

Although Yakumo was expressionless, Goto knew that he was already gnashing his teeth with anger, because Goto felt the same as him.If that man had ever seriously liked a woman, he would never have committed such an absurd crime.Not just rape/violence, if human beings lose their "love" for others, they will hurt others.

"Then what happened to her?"

Yakumo scratched his head and said.

"What's wrong?"

"The crime of j□j is to tell Nailun, right?"

As expected (the original text is "losing") is Yakumo, going straight to the heart of the problem.Just like Yakumo said, the crime of rape/violence is to tell Nailun.Except for the case where the majority of criminals gang/violated the victim, the police will not take any action if the victim does not file a complaint.

However, most of the victims never mention it in order to close the horrifying memory, and the criminals committed the crime because they knew the victim's heart.

"Most people would swallow their anger, but she asked the police to assist in the search."

"Are you in charge at the time?"

"To be precise, the person in charge is a female police officer, who was also my partner at the time - Shimamura. I just assisted from the side, because the case in this regard is very sensitive."

Rape/violence cases are usually handled by female police officers, which is understandable.So in fact, Goto did not talk to Sawaguchi Rika directly, but listened to them through a one-way mirror.

"Although the prisoner covered his face, I thought at the time that the prisoner could be identified only through the testimony of Sawaguchi Rika."

Goto still cannot forget the face of Rika seen through the one-way mirror. There are a pair of firm eyes on that bruised face. What he sees is not fear or terror, but a strong will.At that time, Goto swore that he would catch the murderer even if he died.

"In that case, how could she commit suicide?"

It is only natural that Yakumo would have such doubts.Whether the victim filed a complaint after being victimized varies greatly.

PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is common in victims of being jjjed. They feel ashamed of being dirty, and some women even feel responsible for what happened to them.But Rika Sawaguchi has the courage and strong willpower to overcome this obstacle.That being the case, why did she...

"Have you heard of "Second Degree Strong/Violent"?"

"Well, after the injury happened, the psychological pressure caused by the police's interrogation or the world's slander and slander. Is the police interrogation that excessive?"

This guy was indeed different from Ishii, and he was much faster to talk to.

"That's right. Like 'You're not a virgin, you seduced others first, right?' Or 'What color are your panties? You want to be seen by others to do that kind of thing? How does it feel for the first time? ’ This kind of problem of not treating the other party as a victim.”

Goto punched the table angrily.Those people should have a limit when they are insane, they completely ignore the victim's mood.Their behavior is undoubtedly a crime, like a group of people gathered to cut open the heart of the vulnerable victim with a knife.

Goto has no intention of arguing who is right, but if he wants to end the case with that kind of behavior, Goto would rather choose to be overwhelmed by his own negative emotions.

"I didn't expect you to ask such obscene questions?"

"not me!"

"In other words, you have been excluded from the initial stage of the search!"

Goto didn't answer, just clenched his fists tightly, his heart was stabbed like a needle.

"The day after she reported it, a body was found in an apartment."

"So you were assigned to that case?"

Goto remembered that his immediate boss at the time was indeed Inideuchi.He couldn't agree with Ideuchi's method of doing (the original text is "making"), so of course he strongly opposed it.However, Ideuchi ignored Goto's opinion. He said, "If you don't want to be left alone, just be obedient! Searching is a team work!" At that time, Goto could only follow the instructions.

"That's how it happened. As a result, my partner at the time and I were sent to handle other cases, and the case of Sawaguchi Rika was handed over to two other newcomers..."

From the standpoint of the police, this is a natural way to deal with it.Police do not have enough manpower to handle all cases equally, so they have to prioritize searches.

"As a result, she committed suicide."

Yakumo murmured, a strong blow hit Goto hard.Yes, she died.

Why did I have to give up at that time?All right!Even if he handles the case himself, it may not be able to prevent the death of Sawaguchi Rika, but at least he can make a more appropriate response.No, maybe she won't die.Somewhere in Goto's mind, there was always this thought.

A heavy load called "regret" hangs on Goto, and it still cannot be unloaded.

Thinking back carefully, the conflict between Goto and Ideuchi seems to have started after that incident.Goto did not follow the instructions, and Ideuchi let him go if he wanted to dismiss him.
