Once the prisoner's psychological defenses are broken, the interrogation becomes less difficult.
Mishima Shunsuke confessed to his murder of Fushiya Misato. At the same time, he also confessed to several burglaries, some of which were not even included in the police records.
Kawakami took the opportunity to ask a question he wanted to know:
"Mr. Mishima, what season was the class reunion you attended after leaving the gang?"
"...Autumn." After hesitating for a while, Mr. Mishima answered.
"It's the right season to wear woolen coats," said Tsugumi Kawakami. "I finally understand why Chikako Yanagiya put the love letter she never sent in that coat - it's a kind of mourning."
"Condolences?" Kudo Shinichi asked.
"Yes, mourning. People will gradually beautify and sublimate good memories; they will even turn into something similar to goals, ideals, and beliefs...
And when beautiful memories collide with cold reality, the resulting gap will be devastating...
Didn't Chikako Yanagiya realize that her gentle and kind-hearted male classmate had turned into a scumbag? "
Kawakamiji's words suddenly stopped. For a moment, he thought of Qian Mu Liangchen. So he shook his head and drove that name out of his mind.
When the gap between reality and memories is too great, it is difficult to admit it.
"Actually, the so-called 'gentle and kind' is just Miss Yanagiya's imagination. Mishima Shunsuke just didn't bully her - maybe he was busy skipping school and fighting every day and didn't have time to bully her.
In addition, did Shunsuke Mishima provide any substantial help? Only once did the bully get in his way. "
After saying too many words in one breath, Kawakami paused.
"So, this is a mourning. In that autumn, at that class reunion, Chikako Yanagiya had already discovered that the boy she had loved had died, and might have never existed.
After that class reunion, she was obviously with the person she admired, so why did she still think that an unsent love letter was the most precious treasure?
Because she knew that that love letter was the only tombstone of 'Mishima Shunsuke' in her mind. "
This is a beautiful, bloodless, protracted murder, and the target of the murder is Shunsuke Mishima in the memory of Chikako Yanagiya.
It's interesting that a person acts as a stand-in for himself.
So Barolo...forget it, there's no need to think about him.
Kawakami took a lemon candy and took a rest. The announcer was never turned off, so Mishima Shunsuke and Matsuda Jinpei in the other room heard Kawakami's analysis in full.
"So why are you saying this? Do you want me to feel guilty?" Shunsuke Mishima asked in a hoarse voice with his eyes red, "That woman was unlucky and was hit by a car. Before she died, I didn't Knew she had insurance."
"The guilt is up to you, not me." Kawakami replied calmly, "I was just making regular noise. If you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry for that."
Closer to home, Chikako Yanagiya just married her own fantasy. She actually didn't care about Mishima Shunsuke's true appearance. She just needed that person to be there.
Of course, these are just digressions and have nothing to do with the case. Just my personal interest. "
It’s also a good paper material. But if you want to have something to do with social psychology, you may have to observe a few more groups of samples and read some nonsense from a few love relationship books.
Kudo Shinichi on the side couldn't hold it back and gently hit Kawakami's waist with his elbow:
"Your reasoning is based on too little evidence, but... it makes sense."
Unlike Sherlock Holmes, the little detective thought, Holmes reasoned through details and evidence, but Tsumugi Kawakami was better at figuring out other people's thoughts and had more freedom to express himself.
"I'm not reasoning, I'm talking nonsense." Kawakami shrugged, "Please Kudo Shinichi not to stigmatize detectives or social psychologists. After all, collecting paper materials requires strong nonsense ability."
"Actually, it's not nonsense. It makes sense, Mr. Kawakami."
Hearing this, Miwako Sato said that out of curiosity, Sato had also read the paper published by Tsumugi Kawakami, which had many novel points.
"Thank you, Officer Sato, for the compliment." Kawakami smiled and thanked him politely.
"Now that the suspect has confessed, let's talk about the water gun."
The sudden change of the words caught him off guard, and the gray-haired young man's smile froze on his face.
…………
Next comes the time for criticism and education that everyone loves to hear - everyone except Kawakami Tsumugi himself loves to hear it.
Although the form was nothing more than Miwako Sato's sincere words, Tsumugi Kawakami looked innocent and echoed from time to time, "Yes, officer, you are right."
When he was bored, he was still thinking about it. If a colleague caught him, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Japanese branch.
Gin had even more legitimate reasons to feel that he was embarrassed.
What Kawakami didn't expect was that after a criticism and education, Sato Miwako actually returned the water gun to him.
"I think it's your first offense, so I'll give it back to you this time." Miwako Sato said in a serious tone, "I won't do it again."
Kawakami Tsumugi was shocked by this act of "beating a stick and giving a sweet date".
Why do these people still think that the phrase "next time" is useful to them?
At least so far, no one can kidnap him with trust or morality.
But you can get the water gun back, so don’t give it up for free. Kawakami thanked him sincerely and promised never to bring out the water gun again. At the same time, his planned sacking plan was temporarily removed from the schedule.
Sato Miwako may not know that the biggest beneficiary of returning the water gun to Kawakami is actually Matsuda Jinpei.
"He was playing a word game." After Kawakami Tsumugi left the police station, Matsuda Jinpei said, "Kawakami Tsumugi only promised not to bring out this water gun, but he definitely had more than one of these things."
"I know." Miwako Sato rubbed her brows, "Just let Mr. Kawakami realize it and don't use his handicraft skills to great effect. Moreover, Mr. Kawakami always ignores the police and runs to find the murderer, carrying a fake pistol. It’s also a bit of a deterrent.”
Matsuda Jinpei: ...That guy probably has a lot of them.
"If we really stop it, it might have the opposite effect." After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Kudo Shinichi complained, "The group of kindergarten kids who often come to play with the doctor are more open-minded than Kawakami."
"Are you familiar with him, Kudo?" Matsuda Jinpei asked.
"I can only say that we know each other. We have known each other for a year." The little detective said depressedly, "He is deliberately keeping a distance from me."
It’s hard to tell whether this deliberate alienation is benevolent or malicious. It's said to be well-intentioned but there's no reason for it, and it's said to be malicious but it can't be felt.
Because of the incident, Kudo Shinichi missed another opportunity to clarify this matter to Kawakami Kei.
"Kawakami Tsumugi is not a simple person, and keeping a distance is not a bad thing." Matsuda Jinpei reminded vaguely.
"Don't say that, Matsuda." Miwako Sato frowned, "To be honest, you can see from the entire search lesson that Mr. Kawakami is not that simple, nor is he so disciplined. In movies and TV series, he is the kind of person who turns dark once A guy who will cause big trouble for the police.
However, we cannot wear colored glasses because of this. Anyway, Mr. Kawakami helped us a lot. "
Matsuda Jinpei:......
As the only person in the Investigation Section who knew the truth, Matsuda Jinpei felt extremely lonely at this moment.
