Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty

It was drizzling.It was very dark early in the morning.Qing Jiang stood by the window, looking out blankly. If it was Enka and Amakasu Kento, they should be able to accurately predict when this depressing rain will stop. There was a knock on the door and he said "Come in".The door opened, and Tetsuko Ossie walked in. "The guest seems to have left." "Well, sorry, can you clean it up for me?" He pointed to the teacup on the table. "Okay." Tetsuko Ossie put the two teacups on the tray, "Mr. Policeman, is he called Mr. Nakaoka?" "Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that before he left, he went to the next room and asked some strange questions." Ossie held up the tray with both hands. "What did you ask?" "Hmm... For example, is there anything unusual about Mr. Qingjiang recently, and has anyone visited?" "How did you answer?" "I said, I didn't notice anything special. Is it okay to say that?" "No, it's fine. How did Officer Nakaoka react?" "It seems very dissatisfied, and that expression is like saying: impossible." "Oh."

"If," Tetsuko Oshi looked at him sincerely, "if he asks me the same question again, I'm still going to give the same answer. That's better, isn't it? Or, should I tell the truth? Just say During this time, teacher, you have been unhappy, as if you were troubled by something." Qing Jiang looked back at the female assistant who had worked with him for many years in surprise.But her expression was very calm, as if what she just said was nothing special. "No," Qing Jiang said, "that's not appropriate. So... If you can answer like today, it will help me a lot."

"Understood. Then, I'll take a step first." Tetsuko Ossi nodded and turned around. "Ah, wait a minute, Ossi-kun." Qing Jiang said to Ossie Tetsuko who turned around, "Thank you." Ossie Tetsuko smiled lightly and walked out of the room. Qing Jiang sat on the chair and started the computer that was in a dormant state.There are several things to do today, but he can't concentrate, Nakaoka's words linger in his mind. Yesterday evening, Nakaoka called and said he wanted to have a sincere talk with Qing Jiang and asked if he could meet.Qing Jiang agreed.He was interested in how many facts Nakaoka had.

An hour earlier, the officer had walked into the room and said he was going to be resigned from the hot springs incident.Qing Jiang felt that although this was an order from his superiors, there might also be pressure from outside. "I received instructions that everything I know so far should not be leaked, and I myself had better forget about these things as soon as possible. But I didn't explain the reason at all." Nakaoka spoke quickly, as if he was about to spit out his anxiety . Qing Jiang asked him if he could accept it, but he waved his hand and said, that's unreasonable.

"How can there be such a thing? That's why I contacted you, teacher. In a sense, you pursued this matter more closely than I did. Without your guidance, I would be like a headless chicken. Because of this , Those who put pressure on me will definitely not let you go. They will definitely take action. How about it, is my reasoning correct?" Nakaoka said confidently. Qing Jiang secretly admired it.In fact, they have already taken action. If Nakaoka had come earlier, perhaps the situation would have been very different. But he could only shake his head and say, nothing happened.

"Really? No one, nothing, to keep you silent?" Really, Qing Jiang replied. "That's interesting." Nakaoka's eyes sparkled, "Teacher, do you want to have a showdown?" Nakaoka suggested that Qing Jiang should come forward and make public everything he has known so far.Incomprehensible hydrogen sulfide poisoning accidents at two hot spring areas, encounters with strange girls, what the two dead have in common, Saisei Amakasu and Kento Amakasu, and more.This is bound to cause a stir in the community.It won't be long before the truth may come to light in some form.

Moreover, Nakaoka also said a new piece of information that surprised Qingjiang. "Do you still remember that blog? Amakasu Saisao's blog. There are many lies there, all of which are stories that Amakasu Saisao made up to benefit himself." Qingjiang asked him what lies, and Nakaoka replied that they were all. "It is true that his wife and daughter died from hydrogen sulfide, and his son Kento fell into a vegetative state. But Amakasu Saisao's relationship with his family is not as it is written on the blog. The children hate their father." Nakaoka cited the words of Amakasu Moe's classmate as an example.And assert that those heartwarming stories written on the blog are undoubtedly all fabricated.

Nakaoka also investigated Amakasu Saiki when he was young.Amakasu's perfectionism has even reached the point of pathology, and he is also used to forcing people close to him to be perfect.He reasoned that the children probably disliked their father for this very reason. "How about it, teacher? With these materials alone, the media will not let it go easily. If you agree, I can introduce you to the reporters I know." Nakaoka's eyes sparkled. But Qing Jiang didn't nod, he said that he didn't want to do this. "Why? Don't you want to know the truth? The incident in the hot spring area was not an accident, but man-made. Didn't you say that it is your obligation to announce these? Is it appropriate to ignore it like this?"

Nakaoka's questioning failed to make Qingjiang relieve his rejection.His attitude seems to make Nakaoka very puzzled. "Master, do you know something? Has someone approached you and explained something to you? Isn't that right?" There is no such thing, Qing Jiang replied.He explained that he will continue to pay attention to the incident in the hot spring area in the future, and will use it as a part of his research. Now he really doesn't have time, and he can't let the criminal case take up his energy.He also asked Nakaoka not to involve himself again. You'd better go back - at last, he said.

Although I feel a little sorry for Nakaoka, Qing Jiang can only adopt this attitude.Nakaoka didn't know that this matter might be related to Japan's, no, the future of mankind.If the existence of Amakasu Kento and Habara Madoka were revealed to the world, the world would fall into great chaos.This matter cannot be announced casually. And, before long, the events themselves will come to an end.Although it is unclear how it will end, there will definitely be a break. The one who put pressure on Nakaoka was probably the National Police Agency.The Institute of Mathematical Sciences also has connections with the Police Agency.After listening to Habara Zentarou's report, the staff of the Police Department must be busy too. Perfectionism? He remembered Nakaoka's words. Collect all the pieces together to complete the puzzle.He could clearly see the whole picture of the whole incident before his eyes. The image I saw at Zentarou Habara revived in my mind. It was an image of a male rat attacking a young rat. "This male mouse has never been mated, so the pup must not have been born to him. There is nothing special about this male mouse. Any unmated male mouse will attack the pups without exception. The reason is that the pups The pheromones that emanate. It stimulates the hoe nose neural circuit in male mice, which induces aggression. However, in male mice that have been mated and have lived with pregnant female mice, the organs that sense pheromones are suppressed. information transmission, so they will not attack. Instead, there will be nurturing actions such as warming the pups and licking the pups. In fact, when the pheromone-sensing organs of unmated male mice are removed, they will also become Like a mated male." As Habara spoke, the image of the male rat approaching the young rat just now was projected. "The reason why unmated male mice attack young mice is to get an earlier chance to mate with the female mouse who is the mother. The female mouse does not go into heat during lactation. In contrast, the male mouse who is the father In order not to accidentally kill their young mice, mice will suppress aggressive behavior and ensure that their genes can be passed on. From a biological point of view, it can be said to be very reasonable." Then, Habara smiled faintly at Qing Jiang. "You think it's strange? Why would I tell you this?" "No... I seem to understand a little bit. You're talking about the Amakasu father and son, right?" Habara regained her serious expression and nodded. "Father kills his own son - ordinary people would find this kind of thing unacceptable. Why? The usual answer is: because of kinship. So, what is kinship? Where did it come from? The conclusion is that the root is here, the brain Habara pointed to his temple, "Parents take nurturing behaviors and protect their children. This is a common habit of all mammals. The purpose is to effectively leave their own genetic factors. From this point of view, mice and humans are the same. Generally speaking, human beings will not attack babies like rats, because human actions are not simply dominated by pheromones. However, just like rats, human nurturing actions, when it comes to males, are paternal actions, which are Determined by the genetic system. For the sake of convenience, we call this system 'kinship.' But what if this system breaks down, or is defective in the first place?" "There would be no nurturing action, paternal action... right?" Habara nodded slowly but forcefully. "We have studied Amakasu Kento-kun's brain from various aspects. I have told you a lot about his extraordinary information processing ability. Apart from these, he also has some unique features. Ordinary people, not to mention human Babies, even puppies, kittens, little penguins, etc., will feel very cute. We have used many experimenters, and we have made it clear which part of the brain is stimulated when we feel "cute". This part, we call It is called the 'paternal area'. It was discovered when trying to protect the weak. But Qianren Jun's brain hardly has such a situation. At first, I thought it was the effect of hydrogen sulfide poisoning. But after detailed research, I It was found that this is not the case, it is congenital. I call it 'Paternity Deficiency'. This symptom is most likely genetic, so I speculate that Amakasu Saisei is also like this." Habara added: "I think that those brutal murderers more or less have this kind of brain defect. The influence of the environment is not great. I can only think that it is the result of being born with this genetic gene. For these For humans, motivation is irrelevant. Some people kill people they know just because they want to kill someone once. I don’t know why Amakasu Saisao killed his family members. Maybe there is a reason. For him , that’s enough. You can’t kill him because he’s a family member—this kind of concept doesn’t work in his mind, it’s meaningless.” These words had a strong impact on Qingjiang.What I call kinship is just a system structure in the brain, and the psychology of people with defects in this area cannot be speculated with common sense. "That's all I can tell you. Any questions?" Habara asked. "How will the case develop?" "I don't know. We have already reported to the senior officials of the provincial department directly under the Institute of Mathematics and Physics. They should have some measures. After all, Mr. Qianren is the property of the state." "Perhaps it will be erased?" "God knows." Habara pondered, "I can't say anything. I don't even know if it will be treated as a murder." "Then Amakasu was born? Maybe he was the murderer eight years ago?" "I don't know that either. The situation is out of our control. So," he said, "you had better not dig any further. It is for your own good. Go back to your own study and concentrate on Focus on your own work. Repeat this to yourself, and bury everything in your heart. It’s best not to mention it to others, lest they think you are whimsical.” Originally, Qing Jiang didn't want to say this.And, like Habara said, no one would believe this. "I have one last question." Qing Jiang held up a finger, "Miss Yuan Hua wants to become Laplace's witch, what do you think?" Habara was silent for a while before opening his mouth. "One day, Yuan Hua said to me: Dad, this world operates based on the laws of physics." Qing Jiang was puzzled: "What does this mean?" "I also asked her: what does it mean? Yuan Hua said that if people are regarded as an atom, it is possible to capture the dynamics of the world. She gave me an example, which is the crowd at a temple fair." "temple fair?" "There are stalls on both sides of the small road, and the crowds are bustling on this road, but they don't collide. Why do you think this is?" "Because someone is coming from the opposite side, they will naturally dodge." "There is a reason. But is it just that? If you keep your eyes on the front, you won't be able to enjoy the fun of the temple fair." Qing Jiang recalled the scene at the temple fair.Sure enough, he finally noticed. "Because there is a flow of people. The flow of people on the opposite side, the flow of people on your side. As long as you follow the flow of people, you won't collide, right?" "That's right." Habara said, "There is no guide, but a flow of people is formed naturally. Why? First, please think about the state of disorder: desperately trying to avoid oncoming people, and it is difficult to even take a step forward. But as long as you use a certain method, walking will be extraordinarily easy: that is to follow behind the people who are walking with you. In this way, you don't have to hide. If everyone does this, they will form a long queue. Walk in the first Although it is very hard for a person, if he also chooses to follow someone, the burden will be reduced a lot. He does not have to dodge, let the people on the opposite side dodge, which effectively widens the queue. When this side and the opposite When the number of people on one side is about equal, you end up with two streams of people on the road that split in two." Qing Jiang painted this scene in his mind.Habara's words were very convincing. "I see." "The most important thing is that everyone who is walking is not aware of this. Unconsciously, he has chosen a method that is beneficial to him, a path that is beneficial to him. This is not just about the flow of people at the temple fair. As I said just now, Family affection is nothing more than the product of the genetic system. Although everyone wants to act according to their own free will, but if we look at it as an aggregate of human society, it is not difficult to use the laws of physics to predict the behavior of the aggregate.” "I seem to understand a little bit what you mean." "Yuanhua and Qianren can predict not only physical phenomena, but they can also vaguely see the future of modern society and human beings. But they can't do anything, they can only predict. Recently, Yuanhua has changed. Her The cheerfulness disappeared, and she became a little world-weary. Although she didn't say it, I'm afraid she saw a not-so-bright future." Poor child, Habara murmured, and continued: "Because I don't know what the future will hold, people have dreams. I have no right to criticize Amakasu for being born. From the point of taking away the child's future, I am the same as him. The crime is serious." Qing Jiang ruminated on Habara's words, thinking about Habara Madoka's matter.Although he had only met a few times, he couldn't stop worrying about her.Where is she now and what is she doing?Can she find Kento Amakasu? Wherever you are, be safe.Qing Jiang prayed secretly in his heart.The events of the Arisugawanomiya Memorial Park revived in front of my eyes.I really want to see such a miracle again. Really thinking, the phone rang.Qing Jiang put the mobile phone in a drawer, took it out and looked at the screen, he was startled.It says "MADOKA (Yuanhua)".What a coincidence.He hastily picked up the phone. "it's me." "I have something to ask you," Madoka Habara said straight to the point, "Do you have a car?"
