Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Chapter 69

A silence.

Asami Sagawa looked pale at the 16-year-old high school student Takizawahara Yukiyo who obediently stretched out his hands, and was handcuffed with cold iron cuffs.

At that moment, she felt that all her strength disappeared.

"We're really unlucky."

The gentle female tone with honey-like eyes was full of helpless self-deprecating taste. She raised an ugly smile, said unwillingly to herself, and looked at the boy's side face:

"If only the trash police from Yokohama were there, it would be—"

Surely...you can get over it smoothly, right?

"..." Takizawa Hara Yukiyo was silent, and then he said softly, "Miss Maya, this is very good."

Maya Sagawa didn't respond.

The Yokohama police who are called "trash" don't look very good.

The leading police officer Xiaoshan coughed heavily, and said with a straight face: "Miss, you are an accomplice, and you can't escape the crime. Your speech may be severely punished in court. Please speak carefully."

"That's true." Although Sagawa Maya agreed so much, her expression did not show the slightest panic.

Although her tone was as gentle as ever, she looked at Xiaoshan Police Department very coldly, "Then what are you waiting for? Do you need me to handcuff myself?"

Asami Sagawa stretched out her hand like Takizawa.

Regardless of the final sentence, at least for now, the accomplices will also be arrested together.

At the same time, the immature voice of a child sounded anxiously.

"Wait, please wait!"

Chacha trotted forward a few steps, she squeezed in abruptly, stammered and tried to speak loudly.

As a little hero who solves the mystery, she is naturally watched by all adults.

Even if such a request is made, it is still allowed.

——When a person shows his uniqueness, he can always break through some preconceived impressions and win the respect of others and a certain right to speak.

No one would begrudge a bright but bewildered child the time to seek answers when the dust settles.

Chacha pursed her lips and grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands.

The ten-year-old girl looked around at the faces of Yukiyo Takizawahara and Asami Sagawa, drooping her doggy eyes filled with confusion and helplessness, and murmured dryly: "...why? ?”

Chacha didn't know what answer she wanted to know.

"why?"

She repeated it again.

For Chacha, her sensibility and rationality seem to be separated for a moment.

When solving the puzzle, she seemed to be rationally completing a school assignment.No, to be precise, you don't need to use your brain with all your strength, and you can constantly correct your analysis through observation... For Chacha, this process is even more interesting in terms of fun,

The girl with amazing dynamic eyesight captures another person's micro-expressions and micro-movements bit by bit, and uses countless truths and lies to judge the logic of speech and actions, and then uses the guessed results to piece together a puzzle called "truth". The true thoughts in the target's heart and the truth that he tried to hide were stripped away bit by bit.

It is even possible to profile the other party's psychology through the details of the other party's opening.

You don't need to consider emotional factors, you can simply think and pursue answers - for people with high IQs like Chacha, it's like an interesting game.

Chacha has been able to understand her own differences from a very early age. Fortunately, while possessing insights that are different from ordinary people, she also has a very high emotional intelligence and a family that can accommodate her forever.

Chacha's favorite father, the curse spirit, said: My youngest daughter has a pair of eyes that see through the heart, and the most tolerant heart that can forgive and understand some small human problems.

The more people who can understand the truth and lies, the easier it is to understand the hypocrisy of human beings, and the easier it is to get bored.

But chacha is different.

She has love as a fire in her heart, and she is the little sun that will never go out in the Kitazawa family.And the sun will only burn away the bad things, leaving only light and warmth.

and so.

Compared with being bored with the ubiquitous lies and hypocrisy in human society, Chacha, who has a strong empathy ability, is more inclined to understand the reasons why the other party lies and shows hypocrisy.

No one is invincible, and no one is always right and infallible.

And this kind of empathy also made Chacha confused and shaken when she encountered a murder case for the first time.

Because in her observational profile, neither Maya Sagawa nor Yukiyo Takizawahara looks like a villain in the traditional sense.

It's more like they're cornered.

"..." Asami Sagawa paused.

She looked down at the small, bewildered girl. Although she knew that it was the other party who exposed everything and sent them to prison, Miss Sagawa's eyes on Chacha were as gentle and soft as ever.

The woman with a fluffy low ponytail squatted down with a large intestine hair tie made of chiffon material and flower pattern.

She looked at the dazed and bewildered Chacha with an apologetic expression.

Maya Sagawa didn't answer the girl's question directly, but said in a very soft voice, "I'm sorry for letting you see such a terrible thing."

"People like me... scare you? I'm really sorry."

The apologies are serious.

Not a lie.

Tenderness is also serious.

The other party really likes children very much.

Chacha looked at Maya Sagawa fixedly, "Have you encountered any bad things? Besides doing this...is there no other way?"

Asami Sagawa lowered her eyebrows: "There is no other way."

"I also tried hard to seek justice, but all I got was disappointment again and again. I have to look at that guy's smug face every day, and I have endured it for more than half a year."

"I have two younger brothers, but they are not related by blood."

"We were just born in an orphanage and grew up together, but Yukiyo Hara was adopted, and I worked independently as an adult, and the youngest one...he is still in the orphanage. I planned to make enough money and have a stable life. He was taken out of the residence."

"It's too late, however."

"That guy... took the life of our youngest brother in a very bad way, but the orphanage only used accidents to prevaricate."

Maya blurred the specific content of "very bad", and her tone was calm: "Because that guy has joined the underworld organization, ordinary people can't afford to offend, and the police are useless and can't do anything, just like the mafia some time ago Killing red-haired children wantonly, nothing can be done, even the ethereal gods are more useful than the government."

The foreign policemen Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji, who had heard about both "Bloody Seven Days" and "Kidden Seven Days", were silent.

To what extent the Yokohama government's credibility in Yokohama has fallen... It can be easily seen now.

Sagawa Maya smiled at this time: "I have no other way, my patience has reached the limit, the only thing I regret is that I couldn't stop Hara Yukiyo in time... killing such things should have been let I did it, but—"

This beautiful woman with honey-colored eyes looked at Chacha very, very gently. At that moment, she changed back to the woman who was as gentle as Nadeshiko at the beginning.

"However, you didn't do anything wrong, just like the little gentleman in the detective uniform said... the murder committed on the grounds of exercising justice and venting emotions, if it is not corrected in time, it will intensify in the future. "

She looked down at her hands, "I don't know if the guy who I overdosed on will survive. To be honest, I went with the idea of ​​killing him too, because I don't think that guy is good. thing……"

"When did I become such a terrible person? I was completely indifferent."

"What would happen to me if I escaped smoothly this time without paying any price?"

Do you think... that you have the right to judge the life and death of others?

She thought: yes.

After breaking through the bottom line once, the upper limit of anger will be lowered.

Maya Sagawa closed her eyes, then opened them, and looked at Chacha.

"There is no right or wrong in revealing the truth. In any case, the murderer cannot escape punishment...Thank you for stopping me."

Yukiyo Hara was right.

That's fine.

.

Chacha has been hit hard.

She has a deep empathy with Sagawa Maya.

If her own family members died but could not get a fair trial for a long time...she would probably be driven to despair just like that young lady.

Chacha stood there blankly, watching Takizawa and Sagawa being taken away by the police, without moving for a long time.

"This type of crime will generally reduce the sentence as appropriate." Matsuda Jinping squatted down and patted Chacha's shoulder, thought for a long time, and said: "I will introduce them to a trusted lawyer, at least to guarantee their judicial results It's reasonable."

"..." Chacha nodded sullenly.

"Speaking of which, you are very good."

"What?" Chacha raised her eyes blankly.

"It's just reasoning."

Matsuda Jinpei, who has short black curly hair, smiled, and he changed the subject in a natural tone: "Are you interested in becoming a police officer in the future? I think you are very talented."

Chacha thought about the other party's suggestion seriously, then shook her head.

"So you want to be a detective?"

Chacha continued to shake her head.

"Well, neither is right, that's a pity, may I ask why?"

Chacha tilted her head, and after a while, she whispered, "...Because, there is no way to solve the problem fundamentally."

"Huh?" Matsuda Jinhei blinked.

Chacha pursed her lips, her eyes became firmer.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was sitting on the table and kept shaking his legs, laughed, "It will be very hard, huh?"

Chacha looked at each other and smiled: "I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm very patient."

"Well, that's right." Luanbu nodded, "You might be able to do it."

Matsuda Jinpei: ... What charades are you playing?

Luanbu jumped down from the table with a "hey" sound, and walked to Chacha with his hands on his hips, "I work for the Armed Detective Agency, you can come and play with me when you are free, ah, and, take out your phone , let’s exchange phone numbers... Mmmm, done! It would be great if we could cooperate in the future! It’s quite interesting dealing with you, of course, as long as you don’t become a bad adult when you grow up.”

Chacha's face was full of seriousness: "I will try my best not to become a bad adult."

Ranpo who got the promise was satisfied.

The murderer was arrested and the cordon of the cafe was removed.After eating and drinking, he bounced around and waved goodbye, and pulled Oda Sakunosuke to leave the cafe.

Kitazawa Chacha was soon surrounded by her two elder brothers who had been waiting outside the cordon for a long time.

"I'm fine." Chacha cheered up, raised a big smile, and she gave Megumi and Ryunosuke a hug.

"Let's go, let's go find Xiaoyin...Huh? I'll tell you what happened later, don't worry, I'm still fine."

.

Chacha, who was in close contact with the murder case, gave a good meal, and she was comforted by everyone in the family for a long time.

That night.

Unsurprisingly, Chacha dragged the pillow and slipped into the father's room, pestering to sleep with the adults.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit touched the little guy's head, "Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid anymore." Chacha said, "It's just... still very sad."

Uno gently patted his little daughter on the back.

"dad."

"Well, I'm listening."

"I, I want to become a big shot in the future."

"Big man?"

Chacha raised her head, her warm brown eyes were filled with never-extinguished starlight.

She spoke in an extremely serious tone, as if she had made an [agreement] with Uo that year: "Yes, I want to be the kind of person who can fundamentally solve the unreasonable and unfair corruption and change the society." Kind of a big guy."

Uo was stunned.

He looked at Chacha with a dazed expression.

[I want to be someone who can change the magic world. ]

Once upon a time, he also said something similar.

"...It will be very hard. You have to be very good and work hard, and you have to endure the pressure that may not succeed and countless setbacks, accidents and criticisms. The path you chose is too difficult. Is it really okay?"

You could have been a carefree little princess.

"I will succeed." Chacha raised her eyebrows, "It's enough for me to keep working hard with this belief."

After being silent, Uo and Chacha leaned head to head.

"Then let's do it."

The curse spirit said so, with a low and hoarse voice.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will always be the one who supports you."
