"Thank you so much for today."

"It's fine."

"I don't even know how to express gratitude."

"You're welcome." Ira Edu pushed his glasses and said, "If you trust me, I will always help her, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

When Kaori left from the corridor with Reina, Ira Eto was about to turn around and go back to the laboratory, only to find Aomi Kawatang standing not far away, and even waved at him.

After entering the research room, Qinghai Chuantang went straight to the point: "Doctor, do you know the proverb 'canary in the coal mine'?" ”

Meaning, a precursor to danger.

Canaries are more sensitive to poisonous gases than humans.

In the past, miners took advantage of this characteristic to put canaries in cages and bring them in when they went down to the mine.

When the canary stopped crying, it knew it was going to collapse and quickly escaped.

"I know." Iraa Eto pushed his glasses and said, "My grandfather worked in the coal mine, so I've been close to canaries since I was a child. ”

"Is it Iwami Ginzan? I see that in your resume, it is written that you are from Shimane Prefecture. ”

Looking at the information on his mobile phone, he pretended to be surprised and said, "It's really rare, I was admitted to medical university at the age of twenty-five." ”

Irae Eto stood up, took a few steps to the side, turned his back to her, and said, "Because I dropped out of high school and took a detour." ”

"I see. So why do you want to be a psychiatrist? ”

"To save the weak." Irae turned around and smiled, "Especially to save patients who are mentally traumatized." ”

"How do you save patients?"

"Huh?"

"I don't think mental wounds can be healed. For example, Reina Yahara, how did you treat her illness? ”

After hearing this, Irae couldn't help but laugh a little.

It turned out to be a deliberate use of agitation.

In this regard, he still said, "No matter what you ask me, I can't divulge the patient's secret." If you want to ask about the standard treatment for PTSD, it is to focus on psychological counseling. ”

"Just listening to people can heal mental wounds, which sounds like a dubious religion." Qinghai Chuantang found a place to sit down.

"Naturally, there are other treatments."

"For example," Qinghai Chuantang pointed to his head and said, "Modify your memory?" ”

Purposeful implantation or erasure of memories.

In the United States, research to erase PTSD memory by removing specific proteins has been successful.

After laughing a few times, Ira Edo sat back in his chair and said, "You don't want to say that the memories of her previous life were manipulated, right?" ”

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him, "If that's the case, everything makes sense." ”

After saying that, she stood up and turned her back to Irae Wado, "But in my opinion, this is just a clumsy science fiction." ”

"This isn't science fiction!"

Irae Edu stood up instantly, suddenly raised his voice, and his tone was a little hurried, "On the mouse, the test has been successful." ”

Seeing Qinghai Chuantang looking at him, his head lowered, and his volume dropped instantly, "Whether it can work for people or not, we still need to continue to study." ”

"I deserved to have done research at the Medical University of East London, so I know it very well."

Qinghai Chuantang looked down at the canary in the cage, and said with a slight smile: "Today's cry is particularly good." ”

The answer to the ideal treatment is the same for doctors in any department.

It means that the patient is fully recovered and never comes to the hospital again.

So, is there a situation where the doctor doesn't want the patient to get well?

In order to solve this puzzle, Qinghai Chuantang came to Yawara's house.

However, Kaori refused to cooperate with the investigation.

"Don't you want to solve the mystery of your past life's memories?"

"Doctor Ira also said that just take good care of her."

"Don't you think another opinion is needed?" After speaking, Qinghai Chuantang took out his doctor's license.

Sure enough, it is so arrogant to apply for a fake certificate.

After obtaining permission, Qinghai Chuantang came to Reina's room again, but this time with a different identity.

"As I said last time, there was a teenager who had memories of a pilot who died on Chichijima. Later, he went to Chichijima with his parents to lay flowers, and when he grew up, he didn't recall the memories of his previous life. ”

"But it is said that he hopes to become a pilot in the future."

With the beginning, the rest of the development is narrated by Reina herself.

"At first, I think of a woman's face and a warehouse, and then there are the towers, the yellow blast furnaces, the shovels, and the name Xiaoya."

"From the side of the tower, where is the blast furnace?"

"Right."

"What's on the left?"

Reina was suddenly silent and did not answer.

"There's a warehouse, where is the door to the warehouse?"

"The window is diagonally to the right, and the door is in," she seemed to be unable to recall.

Qinghai Chuantang nodded lightly and said, "I understand, then let's get here first." ”

After going downstairs to the living room, she found Kaori.

"I want to confirm one thing. Have you been accompanying your daughter to Tori University for counseling? ”

"I went with her at noon today. Ever since I read that report, I've been worried about her. ”

"And before that?"

"At first, I accompanied her to Professor Winter Island's psychotherapy. But since she changed to Dr. Ira, she basically went alone, because Dr. Iraa said it was better. ”

Because when Chiyuki Fuyushima was consulting, Irae Eto was also present all the time. So after that, the professor resigned, and Dr. Ira did the consultation.

On the magazine interview that opened on the table, you can see some personal introductions about Kaori, who graduated from Nacha Girls' High School.

"My father was constantly moving around at work, so when I was in high school, I lived in Shimane."

Shimane

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or fate?

After leaving Yawara's house, Qinghai Chuantang took the canary in the cage and came to the door of Fuyushima Chiyuki's house.

I rang the doorbell, and seeing that there was no response for a long time, I walked in.

I saw several newspapers inserted in the mailbox, apparently not at home for several days.

Qinghai Chuantang was walking nearby with a cage, and when he was suddenly somewhere, the canary suddenly stopped crying.

Chiyuki Fuyushima, 64 years old, burned charcoal at home and left a suicide note.

If it was charcoal, the cause of death should be carbon monoxide poisoning, but the report clearly stated that it was myocardial infarction.

The lungs barely inhale carbon monoxide.

It is said that he had a heart attack for many years, and his days were running out.

The time of death is extrapolated to be three days, the day after the murder in the previous life was reported.

Next to the suicide note, there is also a video of psychological counseling.

Professor Fuyushima records a large number of consultations with the consent of patients and uses them to publish research reports.

And this psychological counseling video is the key to solving this puzzle.

Reina's memories of her past life are flat.

She knows what's on the right, but not what's on the left.

If it's something you've really experienced, the synapses related to the memory will combine to awaken the memories that follow.

But Reina's memory is like a cut image.

"It's helpful for your own treatment, as well as for our future research. What we are talking about here today cannot be leaked. ”

"Okay."

"You said before that you want medicine to help you sleep, right?"

"Yes."

"This classmate, do you have any worries about going on to higher education?"

"I'm not bothered." The small movements of the girl's hand continued, "Because that person will help me choose the path in the future." ”

"Do you have any troubles about your private life?"

"No, it's just that I'm too excited to sleep well."

The shadow was just right, tilting over most of the girl's face, and it was a little difficult to see her appearance.

The girl continued, "There is nothing more exciting in this world than crime. ”

"Crime?"

"I've killed people, and that person told me to kill them. I was only in charge of drugging people, so it was easy. ”

The girl suddenly showed a bright smile and seemed to be very happy and said, "Xiao Ya didn't feel pain either. ”

"Don't joke around."

"I'm not kidding. Doctor, I'm telling the truth. Whatever that person tells me to do, I will do. ”

After speaking, the girl seemed to suddenly have a playful heart, tilted her head to look at Fuyushima Chiyuki and smiled, "Do you want to know who it is?" If you really know how to keep it a secret, then I can tell you."

One patient told me that she had killed someone.

As a doctor, I need to keep it a secret, so I didn't call the police.

But as time went on, I began to struggle and wondered if this choice was the right one.

In order to forget the pain, I chose to devote myself to researching how to modify my memory.

Before I resigned, I conducted a memory transplant test on Reina Yahara in order to test the results of my research.

The reason why I chose the content of self-confession murder is because the more shocking the memory, the more it can be remembered.

I was a selfish doctor who felt that I was deeply responsible, so I chose to die.

The name of the inscription is Winter Island Qianxing.

Perhaps because of the progress of the times, the content of the suicide note is printed, not traditional handwriting.

This makes people wonder, since they all think of death, how can they still have the heart to do such a seemingly calm thing?

The next day.

Qinghai Chuantang came to the research room again and saw Iraa Eto, who was sorting out his belongings.

"Are you going to London tomorrow to attend the Society?"

"yes, it's scrambling right now."

"Did you know that Professor Winter Island died?"

"I've heard that." Iraegto paused for a moment and said, "Actually, as long as he continues to be treated, he can live for a long time, which is really a pity." As a researcher, I will carry on his legacy. ”

"Doctor Ira. Can you give me a treatment before I go? ”

She said with a little distress, "There is a memory that I would love to forget." Doctor, you should know, how to modify memory, right? ”

Irae Toshi paused and said, "That's Professor Fuyushima's."

"No, Professor Winter Island is against modifying memories, and it could even be said that he is very much against experimenting with modifying memories. I read all his papers, so I know very well. ”

So, why do you say in your suicide note that you have modified the memories of others by yourself?

The answer is simple.

Because the suicide note was written by someone else.

"That person, that's you, right?"

"Why would I do something like that?"

"Because, it was Professor Winter Island that you killed."

When he first came here, Irabe said that he was in college, preparing for the school, but he had the car keys in his hand.

And as soon as it got closer, the canary suddenly stopped crying.

Professor Fuyushima is a high-ranking person, and he is very angry and reprimands Iragawa for using psychological counseling records without authorization.

"However, if this experiment is successful, many people can be saved."

Fuyushima Chiyuki slammed the table, furious, "You're embarrassed to say that?" What do you think of the patient! Modifying memories is something you should never do! ”

Chiyuki Fuyushima, who was so angry that he fell ill, chose not to save him because of Irae Eto, and finally died.

Subsequently, Irae Eto carried out suicide disguise work.

Chiyuki Fuyushima had almost no carbon monoxide detected in his lungs, indicating that he had died before the charcoal was burned.

"As long as the police investigate the professor's home, they can find your fingerprints, right?"

"Even if it's it."

Iraa Eto looked at his hands, then came to the cage, looked at the canary inside, and said, "But I've been to the teacher's house countless times." ”

Qinghai Chuantang took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

After refreshing the SMS interface several times, a new message finally came.

"Before Kaori Yahara got married, she was called Kaori Kamiya, and she lived in Shimane when she was in high school."

After speaking, Qinghai Chuantang looked at him, "At that time, she was stalked by a stalker. Dr. Ira, that stalker is you. ”

At that time, the person who called the police was Kaori, but she just received a love letter saying that the other party was a stalker.

Because it's the type that I hate.,I don't want to be entangled.,So.

That love letter was also torn to shreds by her.

"You dropped out of high school because you were called to the police, right? Fate is really amazing. ”

After twenty-four years, at Professor Winter Island, I met someone I used to like.

"She accompanied her daughter to the treatment, so you developed deformed feelings for her daughter"

"It's not!" Iragawa denied it loudly.

When he met again, he was taken aback and somewhat surprised.

The other party didn't react, and didn't seem to remember anything.

"So, are you doing so much for this?"

"You know what!" Irae yelled at her.

The people who were hurt still can't forget it, and the pain is endless.

People who can hurt people, but they don't leave any memories and live happily.

This is a typical state of PTSD.

"I feel like this is the opportunity that God has given me"

Iragawa said, clenching his fists, "The experiment went well, and I finally determined that my research had a promising future. ”

"Modifying memories can save patients with depression and PTSD, and this new treatment will attract the attention of the world."

After saying that, Iraa Eto suddenly knelt beside her and grabbed her sleeve.

As if begging, he said, "Leave me alone." Otherwise, a large number of patients will lose the opportunity to be liberated from the shadow of pain. I did it to save people with a painful past. ”

"Stop lying."

Qinghai Chuantang's face was not moved in the slightest.

She looked at the other party and said, "What you are doing is not a treatment at all. The memories you implanted in Reina were to continue to treat her. The woman who once rejected herself now comes to her as a doctor for help, and you hope that she will keep begging you. ”

"But your experiment didn't work out."

Ira's face was full of astonishment and disbelief.

"No, it's impossible to succeed."

Qinghai Chuantang stood up, walked to the side and said, "Reina is just pretending that his memory has been modified. ”

"What?"

Reina is just angry, her mother has been focused on work, and her father is focused on her sister's bar exams.

It's the same for birthdays.

She just wanted to turn off the lights for a while, even if it was just for a while.

It doesn't matter if it's a cheap cake, she wants to eat it with everyone.

But

Reina didn't expect that things would make such a big fuss.

"As parents, they keep leaving things to others. Sending me to the hospital, also because of what, it is most effective to hand it over to a specialist. Mom just doesn't want to listen to me! ”

Kaori outside the door is actually listening to all this quietly.

"Your world is more than just this home. You can survive without relying on your parents. ”

"I'm sorry"

It is indeed possible to modify memory, such as Qinghai Chuantang.

But nowadays experiments with mice have only evoked positive memories.

"You're stuck in your own world, overconfident in your theories. That kid is a chess master. ”

As if he had suddenly gone crazy, Iraa Eto picked up the cushion of the seat and smashed it desperately a few times, venting.

There was another cry of pain, lying on the table in the center, crying bitterly.

"I say, if at that time, Kaori didn't accuse you, and she didn't laugh at you. So what will you do now? Surely it won't have the current status and research results, right? ”

Iragawa looked up.

"It was that painful memory that made you who you are today."

Ira's hand was on the cage, looking at the canary inside, and he seemed very reluctant.

"If you're so worried about the canary, then let me take it. Provided that you answer my question. ”

Iraa Eto nodded slightly.

"Tell me the name of the woman who ordered the videotape, the person who killed the person. When Professor Winter Island resigns, you should take over. ”

After that, Qinghai Chuantang took the canary of Irajiang Du, as well as the one he bought, along with the cage bird, and feed, and gave it to Ernomiya Yuemei.

In her words, even if you live alone, it's boring, it's better to have two more companions, and you can teach them to speak.

The canary in the cage is very cute.

After confirming that it was a canary, Ninomiya Yuemei said, "The only ones who can talk should be parrots and starlings, right?" ”

"What if they're geniuses?" Qinghai Chuantang laughed.

No, canaries don't speak, and Tsukimi Ninomiya is very convinced of this.

Obviously, she decided that the other party was trying to deceive herself.

If Qinghai Chuantang knew what the other party was thinking, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing.

After all, the canary in "The Rose Girl" can speak. So the saying "canaries can talk" is correct.

Obviously, this is a play on words.

This happens to be her favorite and most habitual trick.
