"Oh...ah!?" Hui Yuan Ai was startled, and his attempts to push Ye Gengyi's troublesome hand froze.
"You...you...you mean...she...that grandma, she...is..."
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Haiyuan Ai's reaction, Ye Geng hit her on the head and said, "Emotions are such a thing..."
"Ah?" Hui Yuan Ai was confused, "What did you say?"
"I said, emotions are the devil hiding in everyone's heart..."
Ye Gengdao: "When people come into contact with new things, they will immediately have various emotions, and then they will instinctively look for or think of a series of motives. However, any guesses derived from them will always be the same. Add fuel to your own emotions. The more you think about it, the harder it will be to control it. In the end, even things that were originally controllable will become out of control..."
"What does this have to do with that grandma?" Haiyuan Ai was confused.
"It doesn't matter." Ye Gengyi said.
"You!" Haiyuan Ai was furious, "Don't always talk about things that are and are not. Since grandma can't see the situation in the yard, then you can tell me, how did she know what happened at the Tanichuan family?"
"Try to control your emotions," Ye Gengyi said, explaining: "When Officer Takagi asked her about the situation, did you notice that the wounds on her fingers and skin were new... .”
"New injuries..." Haiyuan muttered.
"Well, that grandma was tortured by the haunted house and complained that the police were not taken seriously, so she went to the antique market and bought a copper coin to ward off evil spirits and suppress the house. Later, she may have been instructed by an 'expert' and wanted to use a black dog Blood exorcises ghosts, but she accidentally bit off a finger when killing a dog. After that, she threw the dog's body into the yard through the small door... and it didn't take long to find the bones... "
Ye Gengyi said: "This also proves why she can know that the dog has been eaten without seeing the situation inside the yard. She stays in the yard every night during the whole day of panic, and is worried about the situation inside the yard. People who tried to get close to that haunted house warned her, so I said, if you want to thank her, then thank her."
"Oh...so that's it..."
Huiyuan Ai understood, but soon asked doubtfully: "Then why did you not let me look behind you just now?"
"Oh... I just want to remind you that when you walk at night, it's best not to look back." Ye Gengyi said.
"What's the point of this?" Huiyuan Ai asked.
"You will know when you grow up." Ye Gengyi did not explain.
"Tch..." Haiyuan Ai's face was full of displeasure.
The two of them walked to the street and turned towards 2-chome.
While Haiyuan Ai wasn't paying attention, Ye Geng turned his head and took a deep look at the other side of the street.
At the end of the line of sight, the skinny old woman was leaning out half of her body from the balcony on the second floor, smiling at them...
...
Walking along the way is a good time to relax.
However, when the two of them walked to the second door of No. 22, they found that the lights were already on inside.
"It's strange, is Dr. Ali back so early?" Haibara Ai pushed open the iron door while arranging her flattened hair.
Ring the doorbell and wait for the door to open.
After a while, Dr. Ali came belatedly:
"You are back."
"Corner of the mouth." Ye Gengyi reminded.
"Oh..." Dr. A Li quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and then looked at a certain loli guiltily, "Well, because I was hungry again, I really couldn't help but eat a piece of cream sandwich cake... "
"Stop making excuses, doctor!" Haiyuan Ai walked into the room with hands on hips, like a little housekeeper, "The fat-reducing meal I made for you is still in the refrigerator. If you just use it as a late night snack, If you are full, it can completely replace the cream cake!”
"Uh... Xiao Ai, but it's almost morning now. I ate that fat-reducing meal after I came back from the Metropolitan Police Department to complete the transcript..." Dr. A Li said this and suddenly looked at the two of them. People, "By the way, I haven't asked you where you went after leaving the municipal building? Why are you back now..."
"Doctor, what are you talking about..." Haiyuan Ai's voice stopped suddenly. She looked at the clock on the wall. On it, the hour and minute hands happened to be connected to form a vertical line:
Morning, six o'clock sharp.
how so...
In the brief silence, Haihara Ai's face became increasingly ugly.
"Xiao...Xiao Ai...I'm sorry, I...I really...no, I shouldn't have secretly eaten that piece of cream cake."
Dr. A Li was frightened by her expression. He turned around and quickly asked for help, "Gengyi, you...come and help me persuade Xiao Ai..."
"Doctor, you have disappointed us. I didn't expect your self-control to be so weak." Ye Gengyi's tone was full of helplessness.
You kid actually added insult to injury!
Dr. A Li is so angry.
However, before he could glare angrily at an unscrupulous person, Ye Gengyi's words seemed to have some magic power, causing Haiyuan Ai to change his target immediately:
"Hey, what on earth is going on?!"
Yeah, what's going on?
Dr. A Li was also puzzled. Could this be some novel way of resolving the situation? Helping others criticize the victim will transfer hatred?
I feel like I have acquired a new skill that I don’t know is powerful...
"You're feeding from over there...are you talking to me?" Ye Gengyi was helping Xue Li add cat food without even raising his head.
"More...one more...brother..."
"If you're so reluctant, then don't scream."
"..."
"Brother Gengyi!"
"It would be nice if the tone could be softer."
"Brother Gengyi..."
"Well, remember to keep it this way," Ye Geng nodded, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
"What's going on?" Haiyuan Ai pointed to the clock on the wall.
"After we left Wu-chome, we wandered around the streets for more than three hours." Ye Gengyi said.
"How is that possible?" Hui Yuan Ai didn't believe it.
"How is it impossible?" Ye Gengyi asked, "Don't you feel that your legs are very sore?"
"After you said that..." Haiyuan Ai thought for a moment, "But if we have been wandering outside for so long, why didn't I notice it myself?"
"Do you know what ghosts beat the wall is?"
Ye Gengyi did not wait for her answer and explained: "In scientific terms, this is a phenomenon that is more likely to occur after excessive psychological pressure and lack of adequate sleep, because anxiety affects your judgment, so... That’s why I put my hand on your head and wandered the streets with you for so long.”
"Then why didn't you remind me earlier..." Haiyuan Ai had naturally heard of this phenomenon, but after it happened to him, it still felt weird...
"Oh, before you asked this question, I always thought you were addicted to righteousness."
Ye Geng said: "After all, it is everyone's responsibility to maintain social order..."
"I..." Haiyuan Ai was choked. She always felt that this answer was very perfunctory, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.
I was silent for a moment, thinking that at least they would accompany me aimlessly, wandering on the street for more than three hours...
"Thank you...Brother Gengyi." Haiyuan Ai said.
"You're welcome."
