[Psychic Detective Yakumo] One hundred ways to tease cats

Goto has not returned the key he borrowed from the administrator in the name of a search. So Goto took the key out of his pocket and unlocked the door.

Yakumo opened the door and went into the house, followed by Goto and Hatake. Since Mami disappeared, nothing has changed here.

"Yakumo, please tell me clearly, what is going on here?"

Goto couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that he was approaching the core of the incident, but everything seemed to be confusing. If this state of being in a fog continued, he would definitely explode.

"Haven't you found out yet?"

"No! I don't know anything!"

Goto couldn't help but growl.

"It's all a trap."

"trap"

He means that Mami will disappear and he sees ghosts in this house, it's all just a trap

"I'll prove it to you right now, Mr. Hatake."

Hearing this, Hatake took out what looked like a flashlight from the paper bag, and the bulb was painted dark purple.

"Mr. Goto, did you see the ghost from this floor-to-ceiling window?"

Yakumo pointed to the landing that led to the balcony. Yes, there it was! A woman appeared there and kept staring at me.

"Look carefully."

Yakumo turned on the flashlight. At the same time, a woman appeared vaguely on the window.

"This, what is this"

"So that's what happened!"

Hatake's admiration overwhelmed Goto's astonishment. I still don't know if even my father has seen the clue!

"This is how the same thing"

"You really don't know anything! It's a fluorescent light."

Hatake put his hands on his chest and said in a slightly contemptuous tone.

"Fluorescent light"

"Yes. If you use special fluorescent pigments to draw pictures or write, you can't usually see them, but they will glow when illuminated by fluorescent lights, allowing people to see them."

Hatake snorted. Like something you often see in karaoke boxes? Someone first drew a woman on the glass window, and then illuminated it with fluorescent lights

"In the past, this kind of fluorescent paint was white, and recently there are also transparent paints. It is not very clear now, but it was night when Mr. Goto saw the pattern here, and the electric light was turned off before seeing the figure of the woman. people turned off, right”

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing Yakumo's supplementary explanation, Goto clearly recalled the scene at that time. At that time, after the light was turned off, a woman appeared on the window. If he could watch for a long time, maybe he would be able to realize that it was just a woman. Day, but it only happened in an instant. In other words, everything at that time was just a scene.

"In addition to the switch on the wall, there should be a remote control switch, so that the prisoner can turn off the light. The sound of "Die" must be a small amplifier installed somewhere! But there is no tool now , so it's hard to find."

Does that mean the house itself has become a "haunted house"?

"Wait, if these things are already set up here, then..."

An unbelievable idea gradually expanded in Goto's mind.

"That's right, the people who live here—Miss Asami herself knows it too."

Yakumo readily affirmed Goto's guess.

"I also did an experiment just now. If this is the premise, the mystery of Mami-san's disappearance can be solved easily."

Really? Even if Mami knows that there is a woman painted on the window of her house, what does it have to do with her disappearance?

"About the disappearance, let's talk as we walk. Anyway, let's go and meet the person himself first!"

Yakumo looked at Goto with a confident face. Although there are many things that Goto doesn't understand, and he is angry, but there is no other way but to obey Yakumo.

54

Yakumo sat in the passenger seat, and Hatake sat in the back seat. Isn't there someone more serious next to me? Goto bent forward, held the steering wheel and sighed.

"How did the mystery of the disappearance of the secret room be solved?"

"Have you really not noticed?"

Yakumo raised the corners of his mouth again, and smiled meaningfully. Hatake seemed to be influenced by Yakumo, and let out a "hee hee hee hee hee" laugh that was creepy.

"Hey! Father! You don't know it yourself!"

"Don't compare me with your pig's brain. As long as you know this is a trap, things will become quite simple. You have tried it just now, and you have plenty of time."

Hatake twisted his neck triumphantly. This old man! Am I the only one who doesn't know?

"Mr. Goto, it took 24 seconds from hanging up the phone to the door, right?"

Yakumo seemed to feel sorry for Goto, so he began to explain the cause and effect.

"Well, it's much worse."

"If Miss Asami knows this trick as the biggest premise, there is only one answer."

Goto swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"After Ms. Asami hung up the phone, she first smeared blood on the phone, and then left the room—she walked out "by herself."

"You, what did you say!"

Goto yelled out in surprise.

"You mean, her disappearance was self-inflicted"

"That's right."

"How is it possible! Regardless of the psychic, Ishii and Miss Reporter are still there!"

"If you say that, it means you've been tricked."

"What's the meaning"

"Asami who disappeared was the victim. Mr. Ishii and Ms. Makoto witnessed what happened at the scene—this preconceived notion is the key to this trap."

What Yakumo said is absolutely correct, this time everyone is thinking on the premise that Mami disappeared "under the circumstances that cannot be controlled by one's own consciousness".

"Why did she do this? I have never been able to understand her reason. I know what Ms. Makoto said just now. Although this is just my speculation, I already know the reason. In this way, everything will be clarified."

Has everyone been deceived by Mami's self-directed and self-acted? But even so, Goto still has some things that he doesn't quite understand.

"24 seconds is indeed enough time for a Dong person to leave the room, but the time for everyone to get out of the elevator and see her door is shorter, she should not have time to lock the door."

Yakumo sighed heavily at Goto's question. Why did I say something strange?

"Mr. Goto seems to see the truth, but in fact he doesn't see anything."

"What's the meaning"

"Can you see Mami-san's door directly after getting out of the elevator?"

Goto recalled the situation just now. The structure of the building itself is very complicated, and the passage is not only narrow and winding. Mami's room is located in a dead corner, and unless you stand at the main entrance, you can't see the door at all.

"That is to say..."

"That's right. So the person who runs ahead has two important tasks on his back."

"Task"

"Yes, one is to adjust the time."

Like Yakumo said, if the person who runs first is with Mami, it all makes sense. If Mami is running late, that person can stop, or fake a fall to buy time .

"The other task is to lock the door."

"lock the door"

Goto asked puzzled.

"That's right. Although Mami-san runs out sometimes, she doesn't have time to lock the door. Besides, locking the door in a hurry is a big risk."

That’s how it was, so after Mami ran out, she just put the key near the door, and then the person in the front pretended to turn the doorknob, but actually locked the bucket, and then went into the room and put the key on the same table That's it. After knowing this, you will find that this is just a simple trap.

"The person who ran at the front was..."

Yakumo's eyes turned sharp instantly. That's right, according to Ishii's words, the person who ran at the front was...

Yakumo and his party came to Kamiyama's office. Yakumo hardly spoke when he came last time, as if he was unilaterally suppressed by Kamiyama's words. Goto felt that this was not like Yakumo's style at all. But this time Yakumo I'm afraid it won't make him happy.

Goto pressed the intercom, but there was no response from Touchi. Isn’t Shenshan there? Although Goto felt that he was spending his own effort, he still turned the doorknob, but the door opened unexpectedly. Is anyone inside?

"We're in."

Goto said as he walked into the office, followed by Yakumo and Hatake. The lights in the room were on, but there was no one in sight. A group of people walked through the kitchen to the living room and found two coffees on the table. cup.

"Hey! Shenshan! Are you there?"

Goto yelled loudly.

"Mr. Shenshan seems to be absent."

Yakumo continued to move forward.

"Miss Asami, you are here, right? When you came to me, you used the name "Iida Mizuho" right?"

Yakumo said she was "Iida Mizuho." Iida Mizuho should be the college student who first commissioned Yakumo to investigate supernatural phenomena!

"I investigated the student roster of the university, and found that there is no student named "Iida Mizuho" in the school. Miss Asami, you pretended to be a coincidence and deliberately involved me in this incident."

Yakumo added. Is this what Yakumo asked Haruka to investigate? Goto finally understands now.

The door leading to the bedroom was opened, and a woman came out alone to the living room. The first time Goto saw her, she was Asami Inoue. Her long hair was tied behind her head, and her pale face made one wonder whether she was There was life. Yet there was a strong light in her eyes.

Mami saluted politely. Her left hand was still bandaged, and it was her blood that was left on the phone before. Did she cut herself? Why did she have to do this?

"Why why are you playing such a stupid game!"

Goto grabbed Mami's shoulders and shook vigorously, a surge of anger welling up in his heart.

"This is not playing a game."

Yakumo intervenes between Goto and Asami to separate them.

"No
