Chapter 224 192. Lucid Hallucination (please order in full)
After the active suggestions of the students, several people quickly had a clear goal. Following the instructions on the map posted on the wall, they arrived at their destination.
The teacher's office is located in the center of the corridor on the fourth floor of the new school building. The classroom workstations at the door of the office are marked, and Teacher Takeuchi's position is at the innermost position.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing the visitor unceremoniously taking out his police ID card, and there were five of them, Takeuchi had a nervous look on his face and tried to remain calm. asked.
"That's right, we are from the Ikebukuro District Police Station. We would like to ask you some questions about Yuzu's falling incident." Li Ming put his police ID card back into the inner pocket of his coat, with a serious look on his face, his hands on the desk, and his body leaning forward , "I hope you can answer truthfully."
"Of course."
Hearing Yuzu's name, although Takeuchi was still nervous, he still showed a look of disgust.
"Yuzi's situation at school is indeed not very good, especially recently it has become more and more serious. Before, she just left early, but now she has directly reached the level of absenteeism and does not come to school every day." Takeuchi paused and said. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip, "And I have had disputes with other students recently, and the atmosphere is very bad."
"Dispute?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Other students saw it. Yuzi said some unpleasant words to Hayami-san first, and then the two got into an argument. You can ask the school doctor about this. They have been there when they had arguments. "
Speaking of this, Takeuchi showed an expression of impatience, looked up at the clock on the wall, and then showed an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Police, these are the only clues I can provide, and class time is coming soon, so I'll excuse you now."
Takeuchi then copied without explanation. He picked up the textbook on the desk and walked out of the room without any one of the five people stopping him.
Everyone seems to know that without completely accurate evidence, there is no way to do anything against this person, and coupled with their identity constraints.
The roll call list on Takeuchi's desk attracted the attention of several people. The names of Ibi Yuzu, Natsume, and Hayami were all on it.
Hayami's name is marked next to class monitor, and there is also a mark next to Yuzu's name, but it was scratched out for some reason, and through the scratches you can see the words "Sports Committee + Arts Committee" underneath.
Is the school doctor’s office next...?
This white dream is a bit interesting. Some clues can be obtained from the previous clue, but it feels weird.
It's a bit like that kind of script, and it's a linear script. You go to the next clue location through the clues provided by the previous NPC, and finally solve the final answer according to the script...
The school doctor's office is located on the first floor of the old school building. Several people opened the door and walked into the school doctor's room. There are bookcases on the left side of the room, desks on the right side, and a ward further inside that should be used for students to rest.
Sitting on the desk seat was a handsome man in a white coat. There was a gentle aura between his brows, which made everyone feel calmer involuntarily.
On the wall, there is a painting of several goats. There are five goats in total, three black and two white.
No one knew what the meaning of this painting was, so they did not continue to look at it, but turned their attention to the man in the white coat.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with you guys? They don't look like school staff at first glance. If I guessed correctly... they should be the police officers who came to the school to investigate the case of Yuzi's classmate. ”
The man maintained the smile on his handsome face, his affability mixed with a little discomfort.
"I have only studied psychology for a few years. Although it is not as mysterious as mind reading, I can still guess what you are thinking in your heart."
"Then I will do it first. Please introduce yourself. My surname is Kuwahara. As the school doctor of the university, I have been providing the necessary help to the students in the school doctor’s office for a long time, including Yuzu and Hayami.”
The few people did not say anything, but continued to watch. The performance of the man in front of me.
"How should I say... Yuzu and Hayami-san had some disputes, and recently these disputes... tended to become more and more intense, from words and language to... violent means, and then the situation at Yuzu's family also changed. It doesn’t look very good.”
Kuwahara spoke eloquently, and he sighed: "I mainly provide psychological counseling for Yuzi. I can help a little bit. What she often mentions to me is the things at school and at home."
“It’s great to be able to help Yuzu-san, although you seem a bit scary at the moment. I doubt it, but I'm grateful for your kindness." Jiang Wen expressed his thoughts without any hesitation, "You give me the impression that you are a bit like someone I know."
< br>Of course Li Dang knew what he wanted to say. This very shrewd way of dealing with people reminded people of Shirai.
"It's really an honor to be associated with Mr. Police Officer." Kuwahara grinned, "Do you guys have any questions? I will tell you everything I know."
“When I first entered the school doctor’s office When I was young, I was attracted by the painting hanging on the wall. It can be seen that Mr. Kuwahara should be a school doctor who knows art very well. So, can you tell us the origin of this painting? " Li looked at the smell of gunpowder. Enough, he immediately changed the subject.
"Well, that's a painting I like very much. I heard that the painting can reflect the truth in people's hearts."
"Reality?" Li Ming used the same words as before, that is, repetition. The last few words of the other person are used to induce the other person to continue talking.
"It's just the desire in people's hearts, but it's all a gimmick no matter how you look at it." Kuwahara spread his hands and said with a disapproving smile, "That painting on the wall...do you police officers have any new ones? Do you feel it? I can only see a few lively and cute lambs eating grass on the grass."
Li Ming did not respond and turned his attention to the painting on the wall again.
The pattern on the painting is constantly changing. The paint moves freely on the canvas, and black slime oozes from the painting, and then...
Thick blood flowed from the painting and gradually enveloped the whole world. Li Ming stretched out his hands tremblingly, which were already covered with blood stains. When the blood appeared from the mud in front of his eyes, his hands were covered with blood. People took hold.
Li Mang turned his head absentmindedly, and Kurosawa's soft cheek came into view. The cold touch spread from the bottom of his eyes, and he reached out to wipe away the tears.
"It can be seen... Mr. Li Dang doesn't seem to be very pure." Sang Yuan didn't know when he got the police officer's ID card from Li Dang. He opened it and looked at it casually, holding it between his two fingers. Back in the young man's pocket, "Can you tell us the specific situation?"
"I think that only when people take the initiative to face their own mistakes can they grow and become better. He is a child who doesn't want to think back. You should speak out now and let your friends see how sick and twisted this seemingly dull and pure young man was in the past. I believe everyone here is very interested in this. . ”
Although I don’t know who Kuwahara is, this guy is really annoying, especially his smile, which is very uncomfortable.
Just when Li Dang was thinking of a way to leave here, the phone rang, disturbing their current atmosphere. The caller ID said Sobayashi Saito.
"Is it Li Mingjun? There are still some details about this incident. It seems that you went to investigate the scene without understanding it clearly." Saito's voice sounded a little pale, obviously Caused by grief over the death of his sister "That's about the cause of death of these deceased..."
Hearing this sentence, Li Ming turned down the volume of his mobile phone, glanced at Kuwahara who was present, showed an apologetic expression, and then became rude. left here, and the remaining people followed closely behind.
Kuwahara disagreed. He approached the painting on the wall alone, his face full of intoxication.
"Tell me the specific situation." Li Ming said dullly.
"The first deceased, Riho Ikeda, died on the spot in a car accident while crossing the road;
The second deceased, Yoto Saito, died because he was hanged from a wire;
The third victim, Yuma Anzai, died on the spot after being pierced by a steel bar falling from high altitude. "
The sound of turning pages came from Saito's side.
"The fourth deceased, Yumi Sanada, died because his chest was penetrated and his lungs were severely damaged. He died on the spot;
The fifth deceased, Shinya Iijima, died due to a suspected attack by a group of crows near a crow's nest. , his dismembered body was found;
The last deceased, Hisashi Ube, died due to falling from the rooftop of Tateno School, the organization His organs were injured and he died on the spot. "
"These are the specific causes of death of the six deceased. I hope Li Mingjun can find out the situation as soon as possible. People in Ikebukuro District are now panicked... Some reporters asked the police station to hold a press conference to express their opinions. Let’s summarize these things.”
A noisy voice came from Saito’s side, his voice was slightly tired.
"Okay, that's it. I look forward to your good news."
After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone.
But soon they realized something, and they all frowned and showed the same expression.
"No... I remember that the cause of death of the six deceased seemed to be sudden death in their sleep... How could...?"
Yuan Qingyu is an expert in dream science, naturally. He was deeply impressed and interested in the topic of dreams. He quickly searched for the key words in the memory warehouse in his mind and asked in disbelief.
"I also remember this, but I just used a search engine to search for the keywords of the case. The self-media only said that the death time of the six deceased was very similar, and they were all in Ikebukuro area, so it felt strange. They even said that they died suddenly in their sleep. I have never said anything like this." Hoshino Guiyang looked at the phone in his hand with a confused look on his face.
“It can’t be the Mandela effect, right?” Yuan Qingyu expressed a point of view that even he himself did not believe, “No, the Mandela effect means that the public’s impression is different from historical facts. "There are only five of us, so we cannot represent the public at all." He shook his head and denied himself.
“It can’t really be an illusion, right?”
Jiang Wenkan’s self-doubt fell into Li Meng’s ears. He thought thoughtfully and quickly put forward a question that everyone thought Agreed proposal.
"Saito just said that the cause of death of Hisashi Ube was falling from the rooftop of the school, and his school happened to be at Tateno High School where we are now. We will go to the scene to investigate in person in a moment. That’s it, let’s see if there is a deviation in our memory, or...”
Li Ming did not continue speaking, but everyone understood his thoughts and nodded in agreement.
“But we have to take a look at the rooftop first. Ube and Yuzu have both stayed on the rooftop, so there should be some clues.”
Everyone went up the stairs again and reached the top. , the door leading to the rooftop was closed, or ajar. It was not locked and could be pushed open easily.
On the top rooftop of the TV teaching building behind the door, although dust accumulates in many corners, most of the rooftop is relatively clean. It is surrounded by a relatively low fence, and there seems to be no obstruction. Function.
On the ground directly opposite the edge of the railing, Li Dao found a pool of bright red blood. Someone should have fallen there from a high altitude.
There were a lot of messy footprints on the edge. Through judgment, it was found that they should be the footprints of a person. They were larger in size and belonged to a male. They also inferred that the man ran towards the edge of the platform.
After careful observation, Li Dao found that under the messy man's footprints, there were several shallower and smaller footprints, which should be of girls, and she walked backwards to the edge of the rooftop .
The men ran towards the rooftop, while the women walked backward towards the rooftop...
Although it looks a bit absurd, there is a complete set of logic implicit in it.
“It should be that the deceased Ube Jiu came to the rooftop and saw a girl walking backward towards the rooftop. When she was about to fall, Ube rushed forward without hesitation, but in fact, he failed to stop himself The footsteps finally fell," Kurosawa Mika said thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, it should be said that it is female thinking, I have some different opinions." Jiang Wenkan raised his eyebrows, "It may be that this man wants to do something evil to women, and the woman subconsciously takes a few steps back, and the man suddenly becomes animalistic. He rushed in front of the woman and fell off the rooftop together."
"This is also the case. A very reasonable result, but I’m curious, what do you mean by female thinking?”
“It’s not meant to be derogatory, it’s just that... girls generally think of one thing very romantically. Or it may be more tender, while boys will think more twisted, bloody, and sick." Jiang Wenkan waved his hand.
"This situation is very common, but it is also rare. Stop using your stereotype to describe others."
Yuan Qingyu paused and expressed his position .
Li Ming was thoughtful on the side and did not notice the exchanges among the people present. He actually agreed with Kurosawa's idea, and he felt that this situation was very similar to Yuzi's death.
So Yuzi guessed whether she saw someone and chased after him.
