Sinmonger Chapter 13: Pawn
December 12, one hour before Ikeda's mental breakdown.
When the words "September 4th" came out of Tianyi's mouth, Ikeda panicked. He felt that he had fallen into a trap again, but he didn't know the whole picture of the trap.
Tian Yi sneered: "Every time I see your face, I feel very annoyed. It is extremely sad. You are the most unpleasant of all these traders."
"All traders?!" Ikeda exclaimed: "You have traded with others!"
At this point, he seemed to understand something, but it was too late.
Tian Yiyi; "Yes, that's your reaction, I've seen it many times over the years, and each of you has ignored the possibility of other traders. To be honest, I'm not surprised, Basically, 90% of human reactions are like this, so you people think about any question, and the answer you come up with is not stupid, but stupid."
Ikeda asked, "Who else did you trade with? Could it be... Miura?! Matsuo!"
Tian Yi sighed: "Hey, it's too hard to communicate with you idiot. Enough is enough. Let's end this game. I don't want to play with you anymore. Anyway, the clues are almost ready..." /
He took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly: "Early before things happened, I had already speculated on what you might do. Trading is just a guide, see if your performance will exceed I expected, unfortunately, nothing beyond my calculations to happen.
Well... Let's talk about your father first. For many years, you have thought that he was an irresponsible alcoholic. This judgment is not wrong, but Ikeda Meng has a bottom line, and that is you.
Although you always feel that your life is not very good, please keep your eyes open and take a good look. Even if you are living in poverty, he still sends you to an excellent high school to study. Beating and scolding makes you a decent person. Isn't the man you left at the zoo the same man who was desperately looking for you later?
When you regard yourself as a tragic protagonist and complain that life does not give you enough conditions, but you never think about changing anything by yourself, of course, you can only see despair in front of your eyes.
You have never considered it from someone else's point of view. You are seventeen years old this year. Do you know your father's birthday? Do you know his past? Do you know what he's thinking? You don't know anything, you are like every mortal, you only think about your own feelings, and you are jealous of those who are naturally superior to you, such as Fujita, Miura.
But if you were put in their place, you wouldn't be Ikeda, you'd be just another Miura.
Your father made you, but you are not grateful. Your heart is filled with jealousy and sorrow, but you are cowardly and fearful, and your ability is poor. In the end, your father paid for you, and he killed Miura for you. "
"What!" Ikeda trembled, shook his head, his eyes were dull, and he said in his mouth: "Impossible...impossible...Why did Dad kill Miura?! They just..."
"So I asked you just now, do you want to change the content of the transaction and hear who killed Miura, but your choice is as selfish and stupid as when the first transaction was completed." Tianyi interrupted Ikeda The words: "The night before, when you came home after witnessing Matsuo's death, your father wasn't actually asleep at that time, he was just 'not talking to you' to complete my deal, so he could only pretend to be asleep ."
…………
"When I got home in the middle of the night and found my son was not there, I fell asleep carelessly."
…………
"Yesterday morning, when you were at school, he came into my shop to complete the transaction and then asked me about where you were last night. Because I asked him to keep silent about you at certain times. Yes, he would take for granted that I know something.
I just told him that your son went to school in the middle of the night, found the body, and left a clue, but didn't mention any details.
So, then we had a new deal, and I asked your father to help me deliver a message to you to see if you could be inspired. You should remember that your father went to search TV news on a whim? "
…………
"The New Year is approaching, and the public security situation in Hokkaido this year is still on a downward trend at the end of the year. Compared with other districts in the prefecture, it is again the last one. In addition to frequent burglaries, violent crimes have also increased. The police spokesman refused. In response to this data, the reporter of this station and several experts invited by us will come together today..."
…………
Tian Yi twitched his neck lazily: "Judging from your expression at the moment, your memory is not too bad. In fact, I don't really read media reports, I'm used to reading other people's thoughts directly. , so you can know in advance what news will be broadcast on TV.”
"How many people have you dealt with?" Ikeda asked in astonishment.
Tian Yi replied: "What you know, what you don't know, what people you know know, ha! The connection between people is like an intricate line, as long as you find the right way, like Hokkaido. This is a small place, with very few transactions, you can achieve the effect of pulling one hair and moving the whole body." He turned his head and looked at a cabinet in the corner of his body: "It's been burning books these days, so my hands are sore... …”
The coffee in the cup has bottomed out again, and as the day grows, he continues: "Unfortunately, you are a guy who always fantasizes that he can be a hero, but in fact lacks a sense of social mission. To be honest, I think you The dream I long for is not to be a hero, but to enjoy the treatment of a hero, but not to bear the price of a hero, that's all.
So you read the news with absolutely no reaction, no questioning, no emotion, sadly, which is why, until I told you there were 'other traders', you never thought about it. "
Tianyi took out a book from the drawer, turned to the end, and turned to Ikeda: "These are Miura's last thoughts."
Ikeda looked at the words: "Kill him... kill him... bastard... that bastard... must kill him..."
"The guy with the wet mosquito coil lives in a remote place, just on his way from school... I will kill him no matter what..."
"Damn, why is there an alcoholic here, he has to be driven away."
"This guy! What..."
The text ends here.
Tianyi: "You came to me yesterday. In fact, your father has been following behind, but he has to go home before you and continue to pretend to sleep, so he can't come in to find me.
While you were arguing with Miura at school this morning, the whale bird went to your house and asked your father a lot of questions, making him more and more uneasy. So in the afternoon, your father came to me to seek answers, and I showed him Miura's book. At that time, the text was about Miura's attempt to kill you. After reading it, your father went home and got a knife.
Originally, he wanted to lay an ambush to scare Miura, but that dead fat man was naturally aggressive, and he got into a fight with your dad. In the end, your dad just kept killing people. "
Ikeda rushed forward and grabbed Tianyi's neckline: "It's you! It's all your manipulation! It's all your fault!"
Tian Yi casually pushed him away: "If you have a father, you have to have a son. It's a virtue." He tidied up his clothes: "Thanks to my kindness, I helped your father clean up the scene and slice the body. After that, I moved to another place. That uncle...how can I run away after killing someone and throwing a knife, it's not like urinating anywhere."
"Why are you doing this! Why!" Ikeda roared.
Tianyi said indifferently; "On the evening of the 8th, Matsuo asked me this question after delivering the videotape, and I told him, 'Because I want to see your greed', and after my suggestion, He gave up his book of heart and traded with me someone else's secret that could make him rich. You made a mistake the day before yesterday, he wasn't sneering at you, he was looking at the guy sitting in the back row of you Miura.
And Miura, on the 9th, also came to ask me this question, I told him, 'because I want to see your brutality', so he also made a deal with me, I promised him that he would always keep his mouth shut, The condition is that he beat you up the next morning. Although dubious, but hitting you is a family property, he has no reason to refuse this business.
On the 10th, the day before yesterday, when you walked into my shop with a full stomach of resentment, did you ever think about it, today, I will tell you, I just want to see your jealousy . "
"You're a lunatic... a lunatic!" Ikeda stepped back ~IndoMTL.com~ hahahaha..." Tian Yi laughed like a lunatic: "Okay, get out of here. You trash, I don't even have any interest in leaving the "reverse cross". But you've also played a role in my game anyway, so I'll tell you two things at the end.
First, the whale bird never doubted you from the very beginning. He has a special ability, such as fingerprints, footprints, bloodstains, etc., the whale bird can immediately see with the naked eye everything that happened that day. He can restore it.
There are two streak marks on Matsuo's neck. Although the middle part is overlapping, when he hangs on the beam for a long time, the depth of the marks on both sides of the neck will be different from the middle one. Any policeman can finally judge. It turns out that this is a fake suicide; and the fingerprints you left on the ground will not be any evidence, because the night shift security guard did exactly the same thing as you that day, and he also sat on the ground and crawled backwards after seeing the body. The murderer will not leave such traces, and no one will be frightened by the scene they just arranged.
Yesterday I just used Miura to provoke you, and you acted according to my wishes. In fact, Miura was not so clever. I provided his murder method, but there were still flaws in his execution. Why do I say he 'did a pretty decent murder', not bad and perfect, not even close.
Therefore, every transaction you make with me has not gained any substantial benefits, but your narrow consciousness is forcing yourself to become my pawn.
And the second point, your father..." Tian Yi said nonchalantly, "Will you commit suicide in fear of sin... Would you like to go back and have a look? "
With the chilling laughter behind him, Ikeda dashed out of the door of the bookstore and never came back.
