I'm Not a Detective

Takeshi Nanahara spent nearly a day going through all the cases from eight or nine years ago. In the end, there was only one suspected case - the injury incident at Songtang University.

In the past nine years, a small animal cruelty and killing incident occurred at Hirano Shotō High School. The rabbits raised in the school's zoo were attacked at night, hung upside down in front of the cage and killed. This caused public outrage in the school, but killing two rabbits was not a good idea. It is not considered a criminal offense. The reason why the matter rose to the level of a criminal offense is that the students themselves found the murderer and caused the wounding incident.

At that time, it was rumored in the school that the person who tortured and killed the little rabbit was Yuki Yuki, a sophomore in high school, a boy who had just turned eighteen. However, how did the students confirm that Yuki Yuki was the murderer? It was not stated in the file, but Yuki Yuki Gong was naturally isolated. Everyone thought he had a mental problem and began to distance themselves from him and talk about him behind his back.

He endured it for about half a year, and finally broke out when someone asked him to his face, "Xingmae-kun, did you wet the bed today?" and the whole room burst into laughter - "bedwetting" was a character in an American TV series in the late 1970s. The line extends to the American TV series that believes that "perverted serial killers" all have experiences of bedwetting, arson, and torture of small animals. This is a rough summary of the early days of criminal psychological profiling technology.

At that time, the American TV series became popular after being introduced to Japan, and there were similar things happening around them. Yuki Yuki's classmates began to "joke" with him about "wetting the bed", and by the way, they "reminded" each other to be careful about him. Set fire to the school.

Then Yuki Yuki suddenly broke out and had a fierce conflict with the small group who was "joking" about him. He was so angry that he chased them as if they had lost their minds. In the end, a boy in the same grade fell down the stairs and was seriously injured. Several people were slightly injured, which turned the "joke" into a criminal case.

However, this case was not difficult. There were many witnesses during the fight, and Xing Mianyong also directly confessed. It took less than three days from reporting the case to sending for examination. In the end, Xing Mianyong was identified as suffering from depression, delusions, mania, and anxiety. Mental illness, the prosecutor was exempted from criminal prosecution, and he entered a mental sanatorium for psychological rehabilitation treatment - the so-called mental sanatorium is actually a mental hospital, just with a nicer name. The Japanese care more about other people's opinions and often like to give Similar organizations have random names.

As for what happened to Xingqiangong, there is no record in the police files. The line "immune from criminal prosecution" was added later when the case was closed, and then all the records and exhibits related to the case...

In fact, there was no evidence. The photos of the rabbit being killed were all taken by students from the school news agency. When the criminal police investigating the case learned about the cause of the fight, they took it back. Finally, they were randomly thrown into the box with other files and sealed directly in the archives. This case is considered complete.

Qingmi Ruri accompanied Takeshi Nanabaru through the box, and acted as an "eye" by the way. He carefully described the photo of the "rabbit's tragic death", and then asked carefully: "How is it? Do you think he is the 'Tuesday Night Killer' , it seems somewhat consistent with Professor Hirakawa’s speculation, at least he has a history of mental illness.”

She has basically figured out how to commit the crime. Fortunately, Qiangong suffered from mental illness and couldn't control herself and tortured and killed the little rabbit. Then she was regarded as an alien by her classmates, which further stimulated her. Finally, she lost control completely and embarked on the path of a serial killer.

He specializes in killing women. It is very likely that the girls discovered that he was torturing and killing little rabbits, and they also participated in the daily teasing of him, and he held a grudge. The private Yuying University also has a small breeding garden, raising sheep, chickens, rabbits and other small animals. The girls are basically in charge of the animals, and I think it should be similar in Songtang High School.

"Is he mentally ill?" Takeshi Nanahara was not as sure as she was, but he still nodded, "But the suspicion is indeed high. You should at least ask the nursing home about his situation."

Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji were also in high spirits. They felt that Yuki Yuki should check it carefully. Hidakaji immediately got up and made a phone call, while Taiji Okuno and Ruri Kiyomi restored several rooms to their original state and re-installed a large number of "file boxes". Stack well.

Qingmi Ruri was very happy to find the clue, but while he was busy, he curiously asked Okuno Taiji: "Officer Okuno, didn't any of you pay attention to this case seven years ago?"

She felt that this "rabbit's tragic death" photo was an important clue, but it was left in the basement for so many years without anyone taking a look?

Taiji Okuno hadn't become a police officer seven years ago, so he didn't know what was going on. But after thinking about it, he said helplessly: "Maybe this case is too inconspicuous. No one cares about the cause of the fight. In fact, there is only one student." He was seriously injured after the fall, but no one was killed. It also involved school affairs. The case was very simple. It should have been handled casually by the Life Safety Class 2. The Search Department may not have known about it at all, and it was separated from the "Tuesday Night Killer". It’s been more than two years, and it’s even more unlikely that anyone would associate the two cases together if they didn’t look for them.”

After a pause, he went over and looked at the label of the "Songtang University Injury Case" file box, and came back and added, "The person who handled it is a senior named Touchuan. I have never heard of this surname. He may have retired a long time ago." Or maybe he was transferred, maybe he didn’t participate in the last big search.”

There are too many possibilities. There are nearly a thousand assault cases in Hirano every year. Sometimes a criminal police officer has to deal with two or three similar cases a day. Let alone two years, there is a possibility that they will be forgotten after a month. Who knows what happened at that time.

As for why the headquarters did not investigate old cases like Takeshi Nanahara last time, it is probably because he did not have the brain circuitry. I did not expect that a perverted serial killer should have a growth process. After all, Hirano has had this serial killer for so many years. , all of them are inexperienced and have little knowledge of serial killers.

The two of them chatted and restored the "Archives Room" to a good state, but it was even more messy than before. At this time, Hidakasi also ran back and reported bad news and good news.

The bad news is that the mental sanatorium named Kinojima closed down more than five years ago due to poor management. The patients were transferred to other hospitals and the medical staff all found other jobs. No one could be found to ask about Yuki Yuki's condition. .

The good news is that it was easy to find Yuki's parents. They moved and changed their phone numbers. However, Yuki's father did not change jobs and was still the same as the one registered before. After calling the factory, he asked who he is now. 's residential address.

This is okay, so-so. Takeshi Nanabahara said with a smile: "Then let's work overtime and go to Xingmae's house first."

Taiji Okuno had no objection, but just reminded him: "Should I inform Ms. Nakano and ask her to list Yuki Yuki as a suspect and conduct a comprehensive investigation?"

Takeshi Nanahara thought for a while and said with a smile: "The situation is still unclear now. It is too early to inform her. Please wait!"

We really don’t know what the situation is yet, so it’s not prudent to say so, and if it turns out to be true, he will have to take the credit so that he can increase the price next time.

…………

Half an hour later, the four of them appeared in the living room of Yukimae's house and met Yukimae's parents.

This is a couple in their fifties, named Yushi Yukumae and Motoko Yukumae. Their family conditions are not bad and they can barely be considered middle-class. However, they look a little older than their actual age, and their hair is a little gray.

Taiji Okuno stepped forward to inquire. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he asked directly: "Kumae-san, we are here this time to find out about your son Yuki Yumae. Where is he now?"

Yukumae Yushi is a factory production line manager. He seems to have a resolute and direct personality. He immediately asked: "Why do the police want to know about him?"

Okuno Taiji's expression remained unchanged: "It's just a routine investigation. Please cooperate with me. After your son entered Kinojima Mental Sanatorium for treatment, was he discharged or transferred to another hospital? Where is he now?"

Yuzhi Yukumae was silent for a while and sighed: "He was discharged from the hospital after more than a year of psychological treatment. However, after he came back, he was in a very bad mental state and had a tendency to be world-weary. We were very worried. He was sent to a... nursing home in Tokyo to continue treatment, where he is now."

Qingjian Liuli asked in surprise: "He has been in Tokyo all these years?" Then it's over, he must have found the wrong person, the murderer is not him, and the trip was in vain.

Yukimae Yuzhi glanced at Qingmi Ruri and couldn't figure out why she appeared here, but he didn't care and just nodded silently.

Taiji Okuno immediately asked: "Which nursing home in Tokyo is he in?"

Kozen Yushi named a private mental hospital, wrote down a phone number, and sighed: "I don't know why you are looking for him, but you can call this number to verify. You can call now. It doesn't matter."

Taiji Okuno was really rude and immediately borrowed the phone at Yukizen's house to dial the number. The phone beeped a few times and the call was connected. A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside: "Hello, please speak. .”

Okuno Taiji did not report his identity to the police. If Yuki Yuki was an innocent person, he would easily cause trouble to the other party. He asked politely: "Is this Yatani Shirasui Sanatorium? I want to know about Yuki Yuki's situation."

"How is Sangmae-san's condition?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little nervous, "Sorry, we can't reveal the patient's privacy casually."

"I just want to know if he has been receiving treatment at your place?"

"Well... yes, he has been recuperating here with us for many years." The female voice on the phone answered, and then asked carefully, "Who are you?"

Yukumae Yushi stepped forward to answer the phone and started talking to the other party. Finally, he said a few words, "That's good, that's good. Thank you for your hard work." Then he hung up the phone, turned to Okuno Taiji and sighed: "Xiaoyumi The situation has not changed much, but psychological counseling and medication are still needed.”

"Sorry to bother you." Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji stood up and bowed slightly, preparing to leave. They obviously found the wrong person, and Qingmi Ruri also bent down embarrassedly, and was about to take Nanabahara Takeshi's hand and hold him He took it away, but when he stretched out his hand, he found nothing.

She quickly turned her head and saw that Takeshi Nanahara had disappeared at some point. She hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Nanahara-san?"

Everyone turned their heads and took a look, only to find that the blind Takeshi Nanahara was really gone. Just as he was dazed, Takeshi Nanahara walked out from the aisle in the direction of the kitchen while holding on to the wall, and said with a shy smile: "I'm sorry, I wanted to go there." I accidentally got lost in the bathroom... But it seems a bit strange. I found a dinner plate next to the rice cooker, and there seemed to be a few side dishes on it. There is a guest at home, are you going to serve him food? "

Yukizen Motoko's face instantly turned pale. It was already evening. She was indeed preparing dinner, and she had already prepared more than half of it. She was just waiting for the rice to be cooked. However, the group of Takeshi Nanahara came so suddenly, and she was not mentally prepared at all. She forgot I hid the meal delivery tray.
