Chapter 90: Relief at Last
"What? What does it mean that he will be able to see him after Dunzi's death? ”
Everyone present looked around cautiously and a little frightened, as if trying to find the figure of the pier from their surroundings.
Xiaolan was distracted for a moment, thinking of the scene that would always appear when Toru Amamiya solved the case before, as if she was communicating with an invisible person next to her, and she was so frightened that she almost jumped.
Conan was lost in thought, but he thought a little more than Lan......
If Toru Amamiya always seems to have another person around him when he solves the case, it's because of the profile.
So at this moment, Toru Amamiya found something abnormal about this Ryoichi Takahashi through profiling?
To be able to see him after Dunzi's death...... Excluding the nonsensical answer of ghosts, the only possible thing is.
- This Ryoichi Takahashi was already schizophrenic and hallucinated after the death of Dunzi because of excessive longing.
"Let me think about it...... At this moment, you must feel that you are a righteous messenger who avenges the dunzi, right? ”
Toru Amamiya continued, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
knew that in order to cover up the truth of his murder in the end, he had even extended his blood-stained axe to the innocent Maolilan.
But he still firmly believes that he is a righteous messenger of revenge.
This kind of self-deceptive guy is really funny.
"Probably after Chikako Ikeda received the award, before Dunzi committed suicide, he called you once, right?"
"She told you on the phone, in a voice as thin as a gossamer, as if she was about to collapse, that she would never trust anyone again."
"And after the news of Dunzi's suicide came out, you were in the midst of a breakdown and saw Dunzi appear in front of you again."
Toru Amamiya narrated little by little, and as he spoke, Ryoichi Takahashi's face became more and more ugly, as if some of his secrets had been revealed.
Although at the same time as hearing Dunzi crying, Takahashi Ryoichi already realized that some of his secrets might be revealed.
Ryoichi Takahashi is still afraid of this strange detective, and what he wants to expose at this moment is something else he wouldn't have known.
"At first, you were ecstatic, thinking that there were indeed ghosts in this world, and that Dunzi's death was just a rebirth in another world, and you were happy for yourself and Dunzi at the same time."
"But before long, you find that this pier who has reappeared in front of you can barely communicate with you in any form, and his presence has brought unparalleled distress to your heart."
"You gradually start to want to run away from her and leave her......"
"But you find that no matter what...... The shadows of the piers are behind you, and they will not be dispersed. ”
Toru Amamiya didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and explained to himself, and as Ryoichi Takahashi's face became more and more ugly, everyone around him was sure that everything that Toru Amamiya said was reality.
"So, Takahashi, he chose to kill Chikako Ikeda? Because he thinks that this is the only way to let the mound in his hallucination rest in peace? ”
Conan understood all this...... Looking at Ryoichi Takahashi, a little sympathy gradually spread in his eyes, but then disappeared again.
Although this guy may have suffered from mental illness because of the unjust death of his friend, he even wants to do something to his own Xiaolan, and he absolutely can't forgive him.
The murderer who wants to commit suicide on innocent people calls himself a righteous messenger of revenge, which is a little too nice to say.
"Yes," Toru Amamiya nodded and continued.
"However, although you tried to get rid of Dunzi's entanglement in this way, she must not know about it, right?"
"She probably thought you were in the pain of blood on your hands for her grievances."
Toru Amamiya squatted down, looked at Ryoichi Takahashi who was lying on the ground, and said word by word.
"But... Have you ever wondered if the mound you see is not a resentful spirit that appears in front of you with an injustice, but really your fantasy? ”
"Atsuko committed suicide because she didn't want her work to be published under her name by her former friend."
"People who commit suicide...... How can there be resentful spirits left in the world? The one you see is just your obsession. ”
"What you desperately want to get rid of is nothing more than the guilt that you didn't reveal the truth in time."
Ryoichi Takahashi continued to be silent, not daring to look at Toru Amamiya, he didn't know for a moment whether what the detective in front of him was telling was the truth or a lie......
- If what he said was true...... So what is the purpose of the murder you have committed?
Is it true that the torture I have suffered for so many years comes only from my own heart, and I did not stand up and loudly criticize and accuse Tomoko Ikeda of disgusting plagiarism?
What kind of shame is it to summon up the courage to attack innocent people?
"Brother Amamiya, how did you know all this?" Conan understood most of the content of this case and began to ask questions without understanding.
Conan reflects that if he were asked to reason about Chikako Ikeda's death, he would be able to find the loopholes in Ryoichi Takahashi's trajectory after carefully investigating the scene, and then see through the true face of the bandaged man.
But...... Even the fact that Ryoichi Takahashi has been haunted by a nightmare called Dunzi because of his insanity can be seen, and Conan is a little incomprehensible.
He tried to push backwards from the results, and it seemed that he could indeed see a little clue, and occasionally Takahashi Ryoichi would unconsciously look at the empty out, like someone there.
Can such a tiny detail or two really support a detective to see that Ryoichi Takahashi has a nightmare named Dunzi?
Ryoichi Takahashi has never shown any signs of communicating with the figures in the empty space, and in terms of performance, he is even much more normal than Toru Amamiya himself......
"Of course, it's because it's not just him, I can also see the shadow of the pier, and see the nightmare that has haunted him for nearly two years."
Toru Amamiya looked at the door of the room, as if it was an empty hallway.
"Dunzi... That's the way it is, that's what I brought to you and Ryoichi Takahashi, the relief you were asking for. ”
Toru Amamiya concluded his speech, smiling, and crying bitterly as he looked at the pier behind Kotoko Iwanaga.
Xiaolan vigilantly hid behind the garden, looking at the empty corridor with a scrutinizing gaze, as if trying to find the shadow of the "nightmare" in reality.
Ayako Suzuki sighed and whispered sorry to the blank space, and the other friends from Dunzi's college days stopped talking for a long time, and finally remained silent
Ryoichi Takahashi also looked at the figure, he struggled to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said "sorry" to Dunzi.
He knew that Dunzi would never bother him again, and the detective was right.
I was completely freed from "resentment".
Conan was the only one who was not frightened by Toru Amamiya's words, and he still put his last thoughts on the end of the case on the sidelines.
It seems that this Amamiya Toru is indeed a very good detective, and his ability to write on the profile even exceeds that of the protagonist in some detective novels he has read.
This kind of immersion in the situation, and even being able to see the psychological state simulation of the prisoner's nightmare, is almost unheard of.
However, this terrifying substitution ability, will it really not cause Toru Amamiya to completely lose himself in the simulation again and again?
Constantly fuse the characteristics of the people around you, the prisoners, detectives, policemen, and all the targets you have profiled into your own characteristics.
- I always feel that this kind of thing is very likely to happen to Toru Amamiya.
In the future, why don't you take more care of this fellow detective who always likes to scare you?
Conan made a decision in his mind.
Next time, I must solve the case before Toru Amamiya...... Even if you can't, you have to try to avoid Toru Amamiya from being so deeply substituted for the murderer's heart.
After all, with Toru Amamiya's force value, if he gets lost one day, he will really become a heinous murderer.
Conan was afraid that even if he later found out that he was the murderer and found evidence, the police would not be able to catch him......
