How to start Meursault

"He Jian-kun, please drink tea—eh?"

When Akiyama's mother returned to the living room with the snack plate and black tea, she saw her son sitting on the sofa in the living room with a dull expression. The original seat for guests was already empty.

"Nosuke, has He Jian-kun already left?" She put the things in her hands on the low table in the living room and asked.

"Yes." Akiyama Shinsuke simply answered one word.

"Really, why don't you keep him?" Qiushan's mother softly 'complained'.

And this still didn't enter Akiyama Shinsuke's brain, because he was still immersed in the brief conversation with Hejian just now.

-------------------------------------

"What am I thinking... Is it really easy to see through?"

After the conversation quietly turned to a special node, Akiyama Shinsuke found that it seemed that it was not difficult to speak out.

He should have been wary that the other party would tell the story, but maybe because he hadn't killed anyone, this random conversation could be accepted.

"You seem to have misunderstood. I can feel the killing intent on your body, and infer the reason behind it through your expression and various reactions, but this does not mean that I know what you are thinking. In other words, your thoughts are exactly mine. place of concern."

The teenager's denial was beyond Akiyama Shinsuke's expectations.And the last part of the other party's words made him feel like he asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

However, none of the lines in the conversation between the two of them at this moment were appropriate in a secular sense.

Akiyama decided to continue asking.

"Where are you concerned?"

He Jian cast a slightly weird glance at him.

"In the eyes of a detective, a corpse, a murder scene, or a case in general, is a finished, fixed end state. To me, that's more like a specimen than a mystery."

"In the case of premeditated murder, I think there will always be a transition stage for the murderer—from focusing more on the reasons for killing someone to paying more attention to the simple act of killing." He Jian said quietly He said with a smile, "For example, you, Police Officer Akiyama, if you didn't deny it before, then you really want revenge."

"Aren't you in the process of crystallizing the fire of vengeance into killing intent? I really want to know about your change of thinking."

The peaceful smile of the young man combined with the momentary silence in the room is extremely lethal.

Akiyama Nobusuke can only say that Hejian is right.Even after being pointed out, he could calmly find that his killing intent was growing.

"They deserved what they deserved. But I gradually felt that I had to bring death to them by myself. I think this is the transformation you are talking about." For the first time in the dialogue, he bluntly admitted the intention to kill, "I imagined Pressing woodpecker claw marks on their foreheads, and thinking about how to end them one by one in fear."

He Jian didn't respond immediately, but showed an expression of remembering something.

"Woodpecker? With your name, it reminds me of some rumors." He saw it for about a minute before opening his mouth. "If it's related to guns, I seem to know what you want to take revenge on."

This sentence made Akiyama suddenly break away from the atmosphere where he could speak freely.

Does the boy in front of him know that woodpeckers can do it?

No, how could that be something a non-native high school detective could have learned?

Wait, was this meeting really a coincidence?

Many questions rushed into Akiyama Shinsuke's mind along with fear, and it was not interrupted until He Jian's next sentence.

"It seems that I was a little offended, I'm sorry. Although to be honest, I would like to hear more inside information-the structure of organized crime and individual crime is completely different, but let's stop the topic here." He pressed the gauze dressing from the sofa Shan stood up, "Well, in order to apologize, let me add something that you might need."

"Murder is a subtraction, don't waste time complicating it."

After speaking, the boy waved his hand, walked straight to the door, and left.

-------------------------------------

'It feels like I can't help talking too much in this world... Is it too relaxed? '

After leaving Akiyama House, He Jian first checked the data of world exclusion and mission completion.

The latter is of course still at 15%, but the former has not increased.

'Uh, obviously what I said to Akiyama Shinsuke just now will most likely affect his time and plan for committing the crime, but the world didn't respond at all--this world is too friendly.Or, as long as it doesn't affect the main line, am I allowed to intervene in other cases? '

He Jian became very motivated.

When he talked to Akiyama just now, it seemed that he was trying to startle the snake, but in fact he deliberately deepened the image of "He Jianjun" in Akiyama's eyes - so that Akiyama would be unable to extricate himself from this matter for a while, and wait until this person's willingness to kill is reaffirmed. When he came down, He Jian could sit back and receive information from the Woodpecker Society—this is the so-called shift from paying more attention to the cause to paying more attention to the murder itself.

Judging from today's reaction, Akiyama may have regarded me as a Moriarty-like figure... He Jian thought, this is really a regrettable misunderstanding.

What he said today was far from abetment in nature, and even his last parting words were little more than Ben-world case-style jokes.

He Jian is not interested in pushing others to commit crimes, and what he said to Akiyama to "pay more attention to the change of thinking" is the truth from the heart.

——If I have to understand it in that way, at most I can only expect the appearance of an actor who can set off a famous detective.

Having made a conclusion in his mind, He Jian decided to complete another scheduled 'experiment' while waiting for Akiyama to come to him on his own initiative, that is, whether the meaningful time calculation method in this world is a case.

The important plot characters in Nagano County are, of course, the Nagano Trio. Among them, Zhu Fu Gaoming, since he is the brother of the dead Zhu Fu Jingguang, should be regarded as half of the main characters.

When He Jian checked the list of the Nagano County Police that day, he confirmed that Morofu Takaaki had transferred from the Shinno Office to the Nagano Prefecture Headquarters, which means that he would probably meet the complete trio when he went to the County Police Station.

As for a reasonable way to get into the prefectural police station, it couldn't be easier considering that one of the personalities of 'Keito Hejian' is a detective.

-------------------------------------

"Caught a pickpocket in the street? And then found out that the stolen wallet didn't belong to the owner, but someone who was killed?" Dahe Daosuke looked at the indifferent young man sitting in front of him, and then turned his eyes away. To the side, the two middle-aged men who were taken to the police station by the other party.

——Although the two middle-aged men lowered their heads with an expression of "really so", they still had to ask the matter from the beginning to the end.

And the focus is on the possible murder case.

As a result, before he opened his mouth to ask He Jianjingren, the boy who was sitting upright spoke up.

"At 9:48 this morning, beside the Chikuma River, I witnessed this Mr. Senkoku Harasa deliberately collided with Mr. Nakamiya Koichi from behind, and then took the opportunity to touch a pink wallet. I am reminding Mr. Nakamiya Koichi I went to catch up with Mr. Qianguozhio before, but after stopping him, I found that the wallet was abnormal. The style is women's, and it is a new product released by Fuesha last month. The price is very high because it has no coin pocket The design does not match Mr. Nakamiya Koichi's occupation. After opening it to check the inside, I found blood in the cracks of the business card, which should have been cleaned with a detergent that was not completely cleaned."

Although he has been using honorifics, there is a slight sense of sarcasm coming out of He Jian's mouth.

Yamato dared to assist in the logic, then turned to Nakamiya Koichi and asked, "What is your occupation?"

"I, I sell crepes."

——There will indeed be a lot of change, and it is unlikely to buy the new wallet from Fuesa.

However, Hejian Jingren deduced his occupation after only seeing the other side, and after catching up with the thief, he immediately discovered the abnormality.

Thinking of the other party's self-introduction as a detective, Dahe Daosuke felt that this was not too far-fetched—isn't the little detective in Tokyo just in the first grade of elementary school?

"Do you think it's a homicide when you see the blood?" Although he would think so if it was him, Dahe Gansuke still wanted to hear Hejian's reasoning process.

"No. After I brought Mr. Senkoku Harafu back to Mr. Nakamiya Koichi, I first asked him if he picked up this wallet on the bank of a certain river-I didn't say because I smelled some on the outside of the wallet. The specific smell that could not be washed off, he immediately admitted with a pale face, and told me that he would refund the money in it, probably because he regarded me as the owner or someone who knew the owner. A blood-stained one was found on the bank of the river wallet, the money in it has not been taken away, I think there is a high probability that a certain lady was deliberately murdered."

When He Jian narrated his reasoning, the two middle-aged men next to him lowered their heads even lower.

"Because if it was a robbery or theft, at least the banknotes would be taken away. The blood stains indicate that the owner was at least attacked, and the location of the discovery on the river bank increases the possibility that the owner is dead. Is that right?"

The boy nodded.

"I see, I'll ask for some more details next..."

-------------------------------------

"Zhufu Police Department, why are you standing at the door of the room? Is there any problem with the interrogation inside?"

When Akiyama Nobusuke came over from the corridor, he found that Zhu Fu Gaoming seemed to be standing at the door of the room for a while, so he asked casually.

"Because the dialogue between the young detective and Ganzhu is very interesting, I couldn't help but stop and listen for a while."

"Young detective?"

A certain string in Akiyama Shinsuke's brain was plucked by this word, and a familiar tremor that he didn't want to recall climbed up his back again.

Shouldn't...

"It's a 16-year-old boy named Hejian Jingren." Zhu Fu Gaoming took Akiyama's subconscious repetition as a question, turned around and answered.

What caught his eyes was the obvious froze expression of his colleague.
