"So...... In other words, that female high school student really felt that she was entangled in something without experiencing many psychological cues, right? ”

After listening to the words of the castle jade, Takato asked thoughtfully.

"Yes."

Shirotsuka Jade nodded:

"Moreover, the girl's fear was not faked, she really felt frightened from the bottom of her heart."

"In that case, if it weren't for your psychological suggestion, then isn't it possible to ......"

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but analyze the words of the castle mound jade, and then suddenly thought of a possibility-

"Unless someone else also mentally hints at her, the biggest possibility left is only that!"

Shirotsuka Jade seemed to know what Takato wanted to say, so he couldn't help but affirm.

"That's not how she feels, is she really entangled by someone?"

Gao Yuan frowned slightly and said this possibility.

"Yes."

Shirotsuka Jade nodded:

"That's what I thought. So at that time, without figuring out the truth, I had no way to give her any useful advice, but simply gave some painless advice and let her go back first. ”

"So, did you go to investigate?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help asking.

"Of course!"

Shirotsuka Jade nodded affirmatively:

"In this case, if I don't figure it out thoroughly, it will affect my reputation!"

"Mouth...... Monument ......"

Hearing this word come out of the mouth of Shirotsuka Jade, Gao Yuan was a little helpless to hold his forehead, and he didn't understand why this little girl was so obsessed with fraud in this matter, could it be that she still wanted to be a "psychic matchmaker" in the future?

In this regard, perceiving Gao Yuan's somewhat subtle attitude, Shirotsuka Jade smiled bitterly, and some dissatisfied people all spoke:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, what is your expression! Are you disgusting people......"

In a strange tone, Shirotsuka Jade asked in a coquettish voice.

"No...... So, what did you investigate? ”

Seeing Shirotsuka Jade's expression, Gao Yuan couldn't help but continue to talk about the previous topic, but he always felt very tired in his heart facing the girl in front of him-

A junior high school girl, or a quirky junior high school girl with a very smart mind, is too troublesome to deal with!

"Mr. Gao Yuan, do you think I'm troublesome?"

As if he had seen through Takato's mind at a glance, Jotsuka Jade didn't take over the topic, but asked like this, and no matter how Takato would answer, he suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist and gently slapped Takato's flank a few times, declaring his dissatisfaction-

"Mr. Gao Yuan, you must know that there is no girl in this world who is not troublesome! If you've always had this attitude, no girl will like you! ”

Shirotsuka Jade said this, and took a step forward with some pride, puffed up his chest, cleared his throat, and stretched out a finger-

"But if it's a partner, Mr. Takato is an excellent candidate! It's a pity ......"

Saying this, he saw that Shirotsuka Jade withdrew his finger and shook his head helplessly.

"What a pity?"

Although Jotsuka Jade's fist was not painful, Gao Yuan still subconsciously took a step back, and couldn't understand the actions of Jotsuka Jade who seemed to be in some mood-

"It's a pity that the person who can stay with Sherlock Holmes should be Watson, not another Sherlock Holmes!"

Turning around, Jotsuka Jade turned his back to Takato and said meaningfully.

"Huh?"

Tilting his head slightly, Gao Yuan still didn't seem to understand the meaning of Jotsuka Jade's words.

"Let's get down to business."

Turning around, Shirotsuka Jade turned the subject back and said:

"The day after I tried to persuade the high school girl to go back, I tried to go to her school and observe the situation around her. Then, I did find out that there was a sneaky girl who had been secretly following the high school girl. ”

"So, the high school girl felt as if she was entangled in something, just because of that girl?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Probably yes."

Shirotsuka Jade replied like this, and then continued to explain:

"It's just that when I wanted to go directly to the girl to confirm her purpose in person, she suddenly disappeared from her. I wanted to ask for information about this girl through the students at school, but almost no one knew anything about her other than the classes she was in, and she didn't seem to have many friends. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly felt a familiar meaning-

"This ...... It's not ......"

"It's almost the same as Hazuki Yage's situation, right?"

Before Gao Yuan finished speaking, Jotsuka Jade said what Gao Yuan wanted to say, and naturally followed the topic:

"Just through the narration from the mouth of the classmates, you can roughly piece together the personality of the girl, she should be a girl who is not very willing to communicate with others, and is more withdrawn. So, why such a girl would secretly pay attention to that female high school student, this is a little puzzling to me. ”

Saying this, Shirotsuka Jade deliberately made a slightly puzzled move, but soon she told the next thing with a little meaning:

"However, although I couldn't find her to ask in person, fortunately, I was able to detect some clues by asking the person concerned about the situation. Because that girl usually has little contact with other classmates in school, just a simple encounter may become a key clue. And through the memories of the female high school student, I learned that she and the girl actually only had one intersection, which greatly narrowed the scope of the investigation. ”

"So, what happened at that intersection?"

Gao Yuan asked with some clarity.

"Yes. Although for that high school girl, that intersection was just an ordinary meeting that could not be more ordinary. ”

Shirotsuka Jade first said with a sigh, setting the tone for what she wanted to say next:

"It was after school one day, the high school girl accidentally bumped into the girl in the school hallway, and as a result, the book in the girl's hand was knocked to the ground and turned over. So the high school girl naturally apologized, and helped pick up the book, close it and return it to the girl.

After that, the two didn't have anything to do with each other, but it was only after that day that the high school girl felt as if she was being spied on all the time.

"And those psychological cues I told her when she came to me before, so she felt very scared, and it really felt as if she was entangled in something."

Speaking of which, Jotsuka Jade basically explained the matter clearly, while Gao Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help asking:

"So...... Your so-called first victim is actually that girl? ”

"Yes."

Shirotsuka Jade nodded, and couldn't help but say:

"It seems that Mr. Takato should have noticed - those traits that match the type of victim!"

"yes."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded:

"There have been three victims in a row, but the police have not received any reports of missing persons so far, which only shows that these three victims live very lonely lives and have no friends or family members to take care of them, so no one cares about their whereabouts after they disappear...... Just like that Hazuki Yage. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and he barely needed more explanations to understand the reason why the girl that Shimotsuka Jade said just now suddenly began to secretly pay attention to that female high school student-

If, that girl is basically similar to Hazuki Yage in terms of personality, then after the female high school student bumped into her, she also helped her pick up the book, in the girl's opinion, the female high school student should have seen the content of the book.

Just like Hazuki Yage will be seen through because of his reading preferences, he will be sensitive to the fear of the hidden hall Esuke who breaks his hobby and recommends books to himself, perhaps, the book that the girl dropped also has something that the girl doesn't want others to see.

Therefore, in the face of the female high school student who may have seen the content of the book, the girl may also feel that her privacy is being spied on, and she is sensitive out of worry or fear, afraid that the other party may tell this matter, so she begins to pay attention to the female high school student......

That seems to make sense.

After all, after having experienced the incident of Hazuki Yage, Gao Yuan would not be surprised by what a girl of this age would think-

Moreover, if I have to say it, their psychology is really much easier to guess than the castle jade in front of them.

"Well, that's the truth."

Following Takato's words, Shirotsuka Jade continued:

"It's just that at that time, the incident of Hazuki Yage hadn't happened yet, so as for the purpose of that girl's doing, although I probably knew that it might be because of the reason for picking up books this time, I wasn't very sure about the specifics.

Demon Museum

"And even if it's to help the high school girl solve this problem, in order to ensure a sense of mystery, I won't tell her the truth directly. Therefore, in order to further investigate and confirm, I secretly investigated the girl. ”

Speaking of this, Shirotsuka Jade showed a mysterious smile, and stretched out his index finger, pressed it against his lips, closed his right eye, leaned closer to Gao Yuan, and asked meaningfully:

"And then, do you know what I found?"

Well?

Ask yourself this kind of question at this time?

For such an inquiry from Shirotsuka Jade, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little strange:

"What?"

Tilting his head slightly, Takato motioned for Shirotsuka Jade to continue.

But Shirotsuka Jade couldn't help but shake her fingertips, wiggle them in front of her mouth, and couldn't help but say as if she deliberately resisted:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, just guess! You should have guessed it! ”

Looking at her expression, it seemed that Gao Yuan could guess it, and there was a look of expectation in her eyes-

But having said that, Gao Yuan always felt that the purpose of Jotsuka Jade's question seemed to be a bit of a bad taste, so thinking that since this girl was most likely the first victim in this continuous murder, combined with the clues deduced from Mizuhara Nozomi, Gao Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with some helpless emotion:

"Mr. Wise!"

"Uh-huh!"

Hearing Takato say this title, Shirotsuka Jade smiled and nodded with great satisfaction, before continuing:

"The girl's name is Mina Isano, and she lives alone, so it's fairly easy to investigate where she lives, and you don't have to worry about running into anyone. But before I could sneak into her house, I found the boxes outside her room that she had stacked up to dispose of, and on those boxes I found a box from someone named 'Mr. Wise'.

"It's just that I didn't care about the name 'Mr. Wise' at first, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but took advantage of her weekend outing, went into her room, and tried to find the book. So, after finding that book, I understood why she cared so much about that book being read by others-

"Because, that's her diary!"

Speaking of this, Shirotsuka Jade paused obviously, and his tone became a little solemn:

"A female high school student with a sensitive personality must feel shy to death when she realizes that her diary may have been read by someone! That's why she cares so much about my client. Therefore, in order to solve this incident more in line with my expectations, I chose to copy the contents of her diary at that time! ”

With that, Shirotsuka Jade took the book she had taken out of the room with both hands and placed it in front of her, smiling slightly with a smile on her face.

- Hey! Jotsuka Jade-san, you're going too far!

Hearing that Shirotsuka Jade had completely copied someone's diary, Gao Yuan felt helpless in his heart, but the words he thought in his heart were not spoken-

After all, if Mina Isono is really the first victim, then her diary may contain very important clues!

And this, in the current situation, the fact that Shirotsuka Jade copied her diary is very important.

"Originally, I wanted to study her diary, so as to have a deeper understanding of the character of Mina, and use this to make the next plan, to see if I can properly solve this incident by means of 'psychic'."

Facing Gao Yuan, Shirotsuka Jade didn't seem to have any scruples about his plans, and then the conversation changed and said helplessly:

"However, before I could start researching the diary, Mina transferred to another school without warning. And because of Mina's departure, the feeling of being entangled around my client naturally disappeared...... So, all my preparations were in vain! ”

Speaking of this, Shirotsuka Jade lowered his head and sighed.

And hearing her words, Takato can basically be sure that the Isono Mina she mentioned is very likely to be the first victim of this girl's serial murder-

Sensitive and withdrawn personality, no friends, no relatives, and a sudden change of school......

Both of them are girls who fit this type, and it is by no means a simple coincidence!
