.December 12, one hour before Ikeda suffered a mental breakdown.
The moment the words "September 4th" came out of Tian's mouth, Ikeda panicked. He felt that he had fallen into a trap again, but he did not know the full extent of the trap.
Tianyi sneered and said: "Every time I see your face like this, I feel very bored. It is simply extremely pathetic. You are the most unpleasant to me among all these traders."
"All traders?!" Ikeda exclaimed: "You have traded with others!"
Only then did he seem to understand something, but it was too late.
Tian Yiyi said: "Yes, it is your reaction. I have seen it so many times over the years. Each of you has ignored the possibility of other traders. To be honest, I am not surprised. Basically 90% of the reactions of human beings are like this, so when you think about any problem, the answer you come up with is not only stupid, but also stupid."
Ikeda asked: "Who else have you traded with? Could it be... Miura?! Matsuo!"
Tianyi sighed: "Hey, it's too hard to communicate with you idiot. That's enough. Let's end this game. I don't want to play with you anymore. Anyway, the clues and conditions are almost complete..."
He took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "Before the incident happened, I had already speculated on your possible reactions. The transaction was just a guide to see if your performance would exceed my expectations." , unfortunately, nothing happened beyond the scope of my calculations.
Well... let's talk about your father first. For many years, you have thought that he was an irresponsible drunkard. This judgment is not wrong, but Takeda Ikeda has a bottom line, and that is you.
Although you always feel that your life is not very good, please open your eyes and take a closer look. Even though your life is difficult, he still sent you to an excellent high school to study. He beat and scolded you to become a decent person. He left you in this world when you were a child. Wasn't the man at the zoo the same person who later desperately searched for you
When you regard yourself as the protagonist of a tragedy and complain that life does not give you enough conditions, but you have never thought about changing anything on your own, of course people like you will only see despair in front of you.
You have never considered it from other people's perspective. You are already seventeen this year. Do you know your father's birthday? Do you know his past? Do you understand his thoughts? You don't know anything. Like every mortal, you only consider your own feelings and are jealous of those who are inherently superior to you, such as guys like Fujita and Miura.
But if you were put in their position, you wouldn't be Ikeda, you would just be another Miura.
Your father made you, but you are ungrateful. Your heart was filled with jealousy and sorrow, but you were cowardly and incompetent. In the end, your father paid the bill for you and helped you kill Miura. "
"What!" Ikeda trembled, shook his head, his eyes were dull, and muttered: "Impossible... Impossible... Why did dad kill Miura?! They simply... "
"So I asked you just now if you want to change the content of the deal and hear who killed Miura, but your choice is as selfish and stupid as when the first deal was completed." Tianyi interrupted Ikeda: "The night before yesterday, when you came home after witnessing Matsuo's death, your father was not actually asleep at that time. He just didn't talk to you in order to complete my deal." So he could only pretend to be asleep. "
… …
"I came home in the middle of the night and found that my son was not there, but he went to sleep nonchalantly."
… …
"Yesterday morning, when you were at school, he came to my store to complete the transaction, and then asked me questions about where you were last night. Because I asked him to keep silent about you at a certain time, he It's natural to assume I know something.
I told him that your son went to school in the middle of the night and found the body and left clues, but did not mention any details.
So, later we had a new deal, and I asked your father to help me convey a message to you, hoping to see if you could be inspired by it. You should still remember that your father suddenly went to search TV news on a whim, right? "
… …
"The New Year is approaching, and the security situation in Hokkaido this year is still on a downward trend at the end of the year. Compared with other regions in the prefecture, it is once again ranked last. In addition to frequent burglaries, violent crimes have also increased. A police spokesperson declined to comment on this data. In response, today our reporter and several experts we invited will come together... "
… …
Tianyi moved his neck lazily twice: "Judging from your expression at the moment, your memory is not too bad. In fact, I don't read media reports very much. I am used to directly reading other people's thoughts. , so I can know in advance what news will be broadcast on TV.”
"How many people have you done business with?" Ikeda asked in shock.
Tianyi replied: "What you know, what you don't know, what the people you know know, ha! The connection between people is like intricate threads. As long as you find the right method, in a small place like Hokkaido , with a very small number of transactions, you can achieve the effect of affecting the whole body." He turned his head and looked at a cabinet in the corner beside him: "My hands are sore from burning books these days..."
The coffee in the cup bottomed out again, Tianyi added some more, and continued: "It's a pity that you, the guy who always fantasizes about being a hero, actually lacks a sense of social mission. To be honest, I think what you dream about is The dream is not to be a hero, but to enjoy the treatment of a hero without bearing the price of a hero, that's all.
So you have no reaction, no questioning, no emotion after reading the news. It's sad. This is why, before I told you that there are 'other traders', you never thought of it. "
Tianyi took out a book from the drawer, turned to the end, and turned to Ikeda: "These are some of Miura's last thoughts."
Ikeda looked at Miura's last thoughts: "Kill him... kill him... bastard... that bastard... must kill him..."
"That guy with wet mosquito coils lives in a remote place, just on his way from school... I have to kill him no matter what..."
"Damn it, why is there a drunkard here? He needs to be driven away."
"This guy! After all..."
The text ends here.
Tian Yiyi said: "You came to me yesterday, and your father was actually following you, but he had to go home before you and continued to pretend to be asleep, so he couldn't come in to find me.
This morning when you were making trouble with Miura at school, Whale Bird went to your home and asked your father a lot of questions, making him more and more uneasy. So in the afternoon, your father came to me looking for answers, and I read him Miura's book. The text at that time was about Miura trying to kill you. After your father read it, he went home and got a knife.
Originally, he wanted to lay an ambush and scare Miura, but that damn fat man was naturally aggressive, and he got into a fight with your dad. In the end, your dad didn't stop doing anything and killed the person. "
Ikeda rushed forward and grabbed Tianyi's collar: "It's you! You manipulated it all! It's all your fault!"
Tianyi pushed him away casually: "Like father, like son, it's such a virtue." He sorted out his clothes: "Thankfully, I was kind enough to help your dad clean up the scene, slice the body into pieces and transfer it to He went somewhere else. That uncle... How can he just kill someone, throw away the knife and run away? It's not like he defecated everywhere."
"Why are you doing this! Why!" Ikeda shouted.
Tianyi said calmly; "On the night of the 8th, Matsuo came back from delivering the video tape and asked me this question. I told him, 'Because I want to see how greedy you are." Later, after my prompting, he gave up. The book of my heart, and traded someone else's secret with me, a secret that can make him rich. You made a mistake the morning before yesterday. He was not sneering at you, but looking at Miura sitting in the seat behind you.
And Miura also came to ask me this question on the 9th, and I told him, 'Because I want to see how violent you are.' So he also made a deal with me. I promised him that I would always keep it secret, and the condition was just that He'll beat you up the next morning. Although he's dubious, beating you is the family's bread and butter, and he has no reason to refuse the deal.
On the 10th, that is, the day before yesterday, when you walked into my store full of resentment, did you ever think that today, I will tell you that I just want to see your jealousy. "
"You are a lunatic... lunatic!" Ikeda backed away.
"Hahahaha..." Tianyi smiled like a madman: "Okay, get out of here. I'm not even interested in leaving a 'reverse cross' for a waste like you. But at least you played a role in my game." Some functions, let me tell you two final things.
First, Whale Bird has never doubted you from the beginning. He has a special ability, such as fingerprints, footprints, blood stains, etc. Whale Bird can immediately see it with the naked eye. He can see everything that happened that day. Restore it.
There are two strangulation marks on Matsuo's neck. Although the middle part overlaps, when he hangs on the beam for a long time, the depth of the marks on both sides of the neck will be different from the one in the middle. Any policeman will eventually be able to determine that this is Fake "suicide"; and the fingerprints you left on the ground will not be used as evidence, because the night shift security guard did exactly the same thing as you that day. He also sat on the ground and crawled backwards after seeing the body. The murderer would not leave such traces, and no one would be frightened by the scene he had just arranged.
Yesterday I just used Miura to stimulate you, and you acted according to my wishes. In fact, Miura is not that clever. I provided his killing methods, but there were still flaws in his execution. That's why I said He'd pulled off a half-decent murder. "Good and perfect, but not even close."
Therefore, every transaction you make with me does not get any real benefits, it is just your narrow consciousness that forces you to become my pawn.
And the second point is, your dad..." Tianyi said nonchalantly: "Would he commit suicide... Do you want to rush back and have a look? "
With a chilling laugh behind him, Ikeda ran out of the bookstore door and never came back.
