precognitive dream 东野圭吾 2155Words 2018-03-22
After closing the album, Yu Chuan sighed.He rested his chin with his right hand, and kept tapping the conference table with his left index finger.In front of him were Sakamoto's notebooks, essays, notes and other items, each of which had Morisaki Remi's name appearing at least once. This is a room in the Setagaya Police Station, and there are materials related to Nobuhiko Sakamoto's "precognitive dreams".Usually only Kusanagi and Makita come in and out of this room, and the other investigators think that the matter has been settled, and they don't care about the precognitive dream from the beginning, so it doesn't take much effort to bring the folk person Yu Chuan in.

"What do you think?" Kusanagi asked. "Unbelievable." Tang Chuan replied, "Besides incredible, I really can't find another adjective." "Still think it was a coincidence?" "No, I don't think so. The more I look at the information, the more I feel that it's not a coincidence. People who are so obsessed with a fictional character are rare in themselves. Besides, there are people with the same name and surname, which is even more bizarre." "But you can't explain it, can you?" "Now," Yukawa glanced at the things on the table again, "I want to ask you a question, how did the name Morisaki Remi come from?"

"Didn't I already tell you, Sakamoto dreamed about it when I was a child." "That's not what I'm asking, it's the real Remi, did her father come up with this name?" "No, it was her mother." "you sure?" "I'm sure. After hearing about the precognitive dream from Sakamoto, I immediately went to Morisaki's house to inquire about the situation. At that time, I asked her about the origin of her name." When Kusanagi visited Morisaki's house, the head of the family, Toshio Morisaki, was also at home.It is said that after he learned of the accident at home, he hurried back to China.Minfu seems to have always been ruthless, and has been demanding the death penalty for the prisoner.

Kusanagi told the Morisaki couple about Sakamoto's prophetic dream and asked them if they remembered anything.Toshio, who was blushing from habitual anger, naturally denied all of them. "Speaking of prophetic dreams, who would believe this kind of nonsense! Still dreaming of marrying Li Mei? It's shameless. I don't know how to measure myself, I only know that idiots are talking about dreams! Why do you say that Li Mei's name was written in his previous notebook? Seriously?! It must have been written after he met Remi." Toshio's remarks are obviously untenable.Various facts prove that Sakamoto did know the name Morisaki Remi 17 years ago, and the middle school yearbook is one of the evidences.

Kusanagi asked the Morisaki couple who came up with the name Remi and why they came up with this name. This time, Yumiko replied: "I came up with it on the spur of the moment in the hospital bed, because I thought there would be a boy, so I didn't prepare a girl's name." Yumiko is thin, with a typical face shape of Megumi, and her speech and behavior are very elegant, even a little weak, making it difficult to imagine her looking like holding a shotgun. 'Did you refer to anything when you named it?Like a book with a title or something. " After hearing Kusanagi's question, Yumiko shook her head.

"I didn't read those things. I just wanted her to be a polite child, so I named her Remi." "Have you consulted with anyone?" "No... At that time, my husband left all this matter to me." "Remi, isn't that a good name? I like it very much." Toshio said firmly. Kusanagi also asked for Remi's opinion.Unlike Yumiko, Remi's face is very three-dimensional and her eyes are big, making her look like a beauty. "I don't know what's going on, but I feel disgusting anyway... Fortunately, I was asleep when it happened. When I thought about waking up at that time and seeing that man standing beside my bed, I would... Goosebumps all over my body!" She was indeed terrified, as could be seen in her slight trembling.Her mother held her hand tightly all the time.

"Didn't that kid run over someone on the way to escape? It's enough to be sentenced to death." Minfu repeated. "Oh, so she was sleeping soundly at the time of the incident?" Yukawa said after hearing Kusanagi's words. "Her mother, Yumiko, shot a shotgun and broke the window glass, and she was awakened. She said that she didn't know what happened at the time." Tang Chuan folded his arms, with a thoughtful expression.At this time, Makita came in, carrying a tray with three paper cups filled with coffee. "Let's have a drink." Makita said with a smile.

"Mr. Galileo seems to be helpless this time." Kusanagi took two cups of coffee and put one of them in front of Yukawa. "Can you show me that invitation letter?" Yukawa asked. "It's the letter the prisoner said he received from Remi." "Ah, there is no original, but here is a copy." Kusanagi took out a document from the messy documents and opened it in front of Yukawa, "This is it." "It was typed out by a computer." "Sakamoto said that it was mailed the day before the accident. The envelope was still there, the stamp was still stamped, and the words in the recipient and sender columns were also machine-typed. There is no evidence to prove that this It was sent by Morisaki Remi. I don’t know if Sakamoto wrote and acted it himself, or someone knew about Sakamoto’s feelings for Remi and directed such a prank.”

"It's not difficult to understand the prank, but is there any reason for Sakamoto to send himself this letter?" "That's not clear, but it's not impossible for that guy to do such a thing." Yu Chuan tilted his head and turned his gaze to the letter again. The letter reads: Mr. Hiko Sakamoto: Thank you for always being by my side.It pains me that I cannot repay your painstaking efforts. I want to have a nice meeting with you, but I'm afraid I can't do it outside. Please come to my room.Tomorrow night, I will open the window of my room and wait for your arrival.You can easily enter my room by climbing up the warehouse.

Please come in secretly.My father is away on a business trip and my mother is still at home. Remi Yukawa raised his head: "Sakamoto said he took the letter seriously, so he sneaked into Remi's room quietly." "Yeah, it's really absurd." Without saying a word, Yu Chuan drank the coffee in the paper cup.His eyes had been fixed on a point in the sky through the lenses of his glasses. Then he fixed his eyes on Kusanagi, "You said he was in Koto District, right?" "what?" "Sakamoto's house is in Koto-ku, right?" "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Okay," Tang Chuan stood up, "I'll go for a walk." "What? Going to Sakamoto's house? Going now?" "No matter how distressed we are sitting here, we can't get any answers. The answer should be hidden in Sakamoto's childhood." He stared at Kusanagi's face. "Are laymen like me not allowed to meet with the suspect's family? If so If not, I'll go back now, I still have a lot of things to do." Based on past experience, Kusanagi knew that when Yukawa spoke in such a tone, he must have grasped some clues.So the grass pheasant nodded. "Understood, I will greet the higher-ups. Makita will help me drive the car to the gate of the police station."
