Although he hadn't used his interrogation skills from his previous life for a long time, he didn't mind practicing on her and reviewing those techniques.

"Yamano Nanami~"

Yamano Nanami answered honestly, while also being somewhat curious as to why he asked her name.

Could it be that she wanted to strike up a conversation because of my request earlier?

She subconsciously glanced at Morikawa Yu's face again.

He's very handsome, and he has a mature charm that belies his age, making people want to believe him and listen to him.

If a guy like that were to approach her normally, she would be very happy and want to brag to her classmates.

But now she just felt something was wrong.

Because there was a kind of inscrutable scrutiny in his eyes.

“Yamano Nanami…” Morikawa Yu nodded.

"Do you even know that you've been dead for three years, Ms. Yamano Nanami?"

Yamano Nanami froze, and with a thud, the milk tea in her hand fell onto the table and spilled out.

Chapter 91 Girl, something's not right.

Morikawa Yu watched her expression and narrowed his eyes.

Her panic didn't seem fake.

However, it cannot be ruled out that she was faking it.

Anyone with even a slightly better acting ability could convincingly produce such an uncharacteristic reaction.

He stood up, calmly took a napkin from the table, wiped the spilled milk tea off the table for her, and then smiled.

"Sorry, just kidding, Miss Yamano~"

Yamano Nanami looked at him incredulously: "A joke?"

She was somewhat angry, and her face turned pale.

However, faced with Morikawa Yu's smile, he couldn't directly lash out.

"Um, I'm very sorry~" Morikawa Yu wiped the table clean, sat back down, leaned slightly forward, and smiled sincerely and apologetically.

"I thought Ms. Yamano was cute, so I wanted to tease you with a joke, but I didn't expect it to scare you..."

"Really?" She looked at Morikawa Yu with a skeptical expression.

Who would joke with such offensive language?

Only a few otaku who are obsessed with boring suspense detective novels would say such things.

But judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like the kind of gloomy person.

“Really~” Morikawa Yu nodded very seriously.

"Because I want to get Ms. Yamano's attention, but ordinary jokes are too cliché."

"A friend lent me a detective novel a while ago, and the male protagonist's opening line to the female protagonist was this line, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm very sorry."

“Oh…” Yamano Nanami blushed slightly.

She felt that Morikawa Yu was hinting at something, and felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Morikawa was still staring intently at her, she lowered her head, her tone slightly reproachful, and whispered, "Don't make jokes like that, it's really bothersome."

"I know that, but I just can't help it~"

Morikawahaha smiled again.

On the surface, he was irresponsibly flirting with girls.

But his mind was filled with thoughts about the other person's identity.

He was observing Yamano Nanami's reaction.

From the beginning until now, everything she has done has been met with his suspicion.

He strongly suspected that this Yamano Nanami was a fake Yamano Nanami, but the other party's behavior did not seem fake.

But if the other party is really Yamano Nanami, then we shouldn't cooperate with him like this.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

He considered a possibility... the other person might be Yamano Nanami, but she didn't know that he was the "Yamano Nanami" he was looking for who had committed a series of evil deeds.

Moreover, the way the other person appeared was suspicious, as if they were hiding from someone, and those people might want to capture her, which is why she walked towards a crowded place.

This amused him.

Having been getting tired of killing people lately, he suddenly wanted to try something different, like playing around with the other person to relax.

"Miss Nanami, you are just as cute as a kitten."

He looked at Yamano Nanami, suddenly sighed, and naturally addressed her by her name.

In Japan, only very close friends address each other by their first names; it's a symbol of intimacy.

Yamano Nanami blushed slightly, but seemed more curious about why he said that.

"Why?"

"Because Nanami-san really only ate a little bit and then got full, just like a cat~"

As he spoke, he repeated Nanami's previous gesture, making a cat-ear shape.

Yamano Nanami's face turned even redder.

She sensed that Morikawa Yu did want to pursue her, but she didn't dislike him.

Moreover, the reason she dared to ask for bread was entirely because the other person was very handsome and had a good temperament.

However, she really didn't expect the other person to be so good at flirting, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, Morikawa Yu felt no emotion.

He already has a wife, and Feiyue treats him very well; he has no intention of being a scumbag.

What he just said was merely the use of some interrogation techniques, but not the conventional kind.

Traditional interrogation and torture methods rely on a continuous stream of repetitive and varied questions and rhetoric to disrupt the victim's mind and wear down their willpower.

If the other party lies and conceals information, they will have to use more lies to cover it up, and it will be easier for them to find loopholes.

In such cases, a quicker barrage of questions can induce more mistakes in the suspect.

If the other party has not received special training, they can easily get confused and make many mistakes.

However, he wasn't in an interrogation room now, and he didn't have much free time, so he could only try to simplify the questions and use more covert techniques.

The other party is currently behaving like a naive young girl, so he will treat her accordingly.

But this is just the beginning. His real purpose is to hypnotize and suggest, and to manipulate the other person's emotions.

Once the other party's mentality collapses, things will be much easier.

Although it's not very ethical to do this, the other party has already killed several people, so he doesn't need to be polite.

Morikawa Yu smiled at Yamano Nanami, glancing intentionally or unintentionally in the direction the two had come from outside the window.

"Miss Nanami, you were so flustered just now, wasn't it because someone was chasing you?"

Yamano Nanami was stunned. She stared at Morikawa Yu in astonishment, seemingly not expecting him to ask this question, and her expression changed.

Morikawa Yu noticed her reaction out of the corner of his eye, but acted as if he hadn't, and continued, "Miss Nanami is so cute, it's no wonder she has so many suitors, and she's probably easily followed by perverts and such~"

Yamano Nanami paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

He seemed to have realized her predicament, but apparently misunderstood, which put her at ease.

But when she looked up at Morikawa Yu, she found a strange, almost imperceptible smile in his eyes, as if he had seen through her thoughts.

"Can you tell me who those people are?"

“I…” Yamano Nanami’s expression changed again, her face turning deathly pale.

"Ah... It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. After all, the other party has caused trouble for Ms. Nanami. I'm just curious. It's fine if I don't talk about it."

Morikawa Yu was still smiling, as if he wasn't the one who had just made that scary expression.

He moved closer to her face and tilted his head.

"However, if I want to pursue Nanami-san, will it cause you the same trouble?"

"Ah...no...no." Yamano Nanami waved her hands, her expression somewhat unpleasant, her mind in turmoil.

She couldn't understand what the young man in front of her was trying to do, and felt very uncomfortable.

One moment the other person is like a charming, handsome guy, and the next they suddenly seem like a strange, middle-aged man, as if they can guess what she's thinking and interrogate her.

This gave her a strong urge to run away.

Morikawa Yu narrowed her eyes.

He could sense that the other person was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

He reached into the lining of his clothes and took out a golden amulet that could seal space from the Goshuincho, but instead of taking it out, he pulled out his cell phone from the inner pocket.

Yamano Nanami stared intently at his hand, only breathing a sigh of relief when she saw it was a cell phone.

"Miss Nanami, have you ever noticed that you have a lot of idol-like qualities?" Morikawa Yu smiled at her while holding his phone.

Yamano Nanami subconsciously shook her head.

Although she had heard such things before, she no longer dared to admit anything.

Morikawa Yu ignored her and continued, "You really have idol potential, and you remind me a lot of that girl from AKB48, you know... I can't remember, let me look her up for you..."

He took out his phone, fiddled with it for a while, and then handed it to Nanami Yamano.

"Look, that's her."

Chapter 92 Kill by touching the head

Nanami Yamano took the phone and glanced at it curiously.

But after seeing the contents, her pupils contracted and her face turned deathly pale.

What appeared on the phone screen wasn't an introduction to the AKB48 girl idol group at all, but rather a file.

The file is labeled with her name and her photo.

It clearly states: "The victim, Nanami Yamano, died on February 3, 2010, due to murder. The murderer is..."

Her mind went blank as she stared in shock at Morikawa Yu, only to find him slowly reaching out and taking the phone back from her hand, his eyes filled with regret.

"Sorry, what I was saying earlier was actually a joke."

“You really have been dead for three years, Ms. Yamano Nanami.”

"I... have been dead for three years?" Yamano Nanami stared at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“Yes.” Morikawa Yu nodded. “I know you may find it hard to accept, but that’s the truth.”

He looked at Yamano Nanami in front of him and took out a golden amulet from the lining of his clothes.

To the average person, she might just be wondering and shocked about something.

However, he could clearly see several masks that were faintly visible and slowly floating around Yamano Nanami.

They exuded a faint black aura; some had sorrowful expressions, frowning and deep in thought, while others wore smiles, squinting and grinning, and still others had gloomy eyes.

There are seven masks in total, five of which are physical, while the other two are just phantoms, but they are all drawing in black energy and attacking Yamano Nanami.

She covered her head, her beautiful and lovely face contorted with pain.

Morikawa Yu shook his head, sent a thought to Ryoko in his mind, and then unlocked the golden amulet.

A faint golden light instantly spread out, transforming into ripples that expanded outwards, instantly enveloping the milk tea shop, the street, and even the surrounding area.

He stood up and patted Yamano Nanami's head, as if to comfort her in pain.

"If you feel unwell, just take a nap. You'll feel better when you wake up."
