Chapter 309 The Winner Has Been Decided (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"Thank you, I don't smoke."

In the living room of Councilman Goji Sotaro's house, Sakata Yusuke declined Sakaki Makoto's invitation.

"Do you drink, Mr. Sakata?"

Sakaki walked to the table, picked up a bottle of whiskey, whistled, and expressed his appreciation for Sotaro Goji's collection:

"Bushmills, a 1970 single malt whiskey produced at Bushmills Winery in Ireland!"

“This wine is rare”

While muttering to himself, Sakaki picked up the chunky rock cup from the tray, pulled out the cork, and poured the amber liquid into it:

"This wine was first matured in sherry and bourbon barrels for 14 years, and then transferred to new American oak barrels for a further 16 years."

Shaking the cup gently, the sweetness of vanilla and some dried blueberries are revealed in the cup.

It was as if Sakaki could feel the aroma of this bottle of wine as it matured in sherry barrels

Intoxicating.

"I can't believe that the township secretary's preferences are the same as mine."

Holding the wine bottle in one hand, Sakaki took it all unceremoniously, slumped down on the sofa, took a sip, and quietly experienced the aroma that spread instantly as the amber liquid slid down his throat.

My mood suddenly improved.

"I will not share this wine with Mr. Sakata."

Under everyone's dull gaze, Sakaki held the bottle of wine, looking like a stingy man.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't drink."

Sakata Yusuke couldn't figure out the opponent's routine at all, so he wiped the cold sweat with a handkerchief.

Whether you are doing business or handling cases, what are you most afraid of?

answer:

Can't see clearly what the opponent is thinking.

Ever since Sakaki Cheng told him to sit down, Sakata Yusuke suddenly discovered

He couldn't understand the other person.

During the day, Sakaki was just an ordinary person who had just arrived and visited the scenic spots with them.

So now, Sakaki has become one.

A bohemian young man.

The sudden change in temperament made Yusuke Sakata very uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, you just drink it?"

Conan's eyes widened:

"No ice or something?"

“Only by drinking it pure can you taste the true essence of single malt whiskey.”

Sakaki Cheng raised his cup and looked at Yusuke Sakata through the amber liquid:

"It's really rare for Japanese people like Mr. Sakata who don't drink alcohol to be able to drink alcohol."

"Is there any special reason?"

When Conan and Hattori Heiji, who were a little confused, heard this, they immediately shut their mouths and looked at Yusuke Sakata.

They knew that this was the prelude to Sakaki's move.

"Special reason?"

Sakata Yusuke was startled for a moment. He didn't know why Sakaki Cheng asked this question. Could it be...

Does the other party know about his father's car accident?

Or is it just a casual question?

Different starting points lead to different goals for Sakaki.

After careful consideration, Sakata Yusuke said:

"Well, I'm allergic to alcohol, so I can't drink it."

Impeccable answer!

Just like when you say you took a cephalosporin before everyone drinks, the topic will be blocked immediately without giving the other party any room to refute.

Sakaki nodded, lowered his eyes to taste the whiskey, and said nothing.

Time passed minute by minute.

A few minutes later, Sakata Yusuke suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

At this time, Sakaki Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, said:

"I"

"I just went to Makata City and visited Numabuchi Kiichiro's mother."

Stop your steps!

Sakata Yusuke turned his head sharply, rolled his eyes, and asked:

"What are you doing there, Mr. Sakaki?"

Sakaki smiled, but instead of answering him directly, he asked:

"How long have you been a police officer, Mr. Sakata?"

The most important point in negotiation or interrogation is to have the right to speak.

Whoever has the right to speak has the initiative.

Every word Sakaki said was either dismantling the opponent's psychological defense, or preparing for the disintegration of the opponent's psychological defense.

Whether the attitude is strong or not will be expressed through expressions, movements, and tone of voice.

".It's been 5 years."

Sakata Yusuke replied.

"It's been 5 years."

Crossing his legs, Sakaki looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and breathed a sigh of relief.

This breath made Sakata Yusuke's heart tighten.

There is a saying that everyone must have heard: people will be afraid of unknown things.

But in fact, this conclusion is not quite correct.

What causes fear is not the unknown itself, but people's uncertainty about the consequences.

Because people have thoughts, when people come into contact with something, their brains will think about the consequences.

Take ghosts as an example:

Some people are afraid of ghosts, and some people are not afraid of ghosts.

People who are afraid of ghosts think that ghosts will hurt them. This is based on movies, books, word-of-mouth from adults, etc. they have been exposed to since childhood, thus creating an image of ghosts in their minds - they are dangerous, so they are afraid.

What about people who are not afraid of ghosts?

Taking normal people as an example, in addition to their personality, it is because they believe that there are no ghosts in the world - there is no danger, so they are not afraid.

However, scientific experiments have proven that many people who say they are not afraid of ghosts are usually afraid when they see "ghosts" in experiments.

When a 'ghost' pounces, people have three reactions: avoid, attack, or be frightened.

I'm so scared that I won't talk about it, there's nothing to say.

The two methods of avoiding and attacking look completely different, but in fact, people are protecting themselves.

In summary.

The essence of fear = self-preservation.

Yusuke Sakata didn't want others to know the inside story of the case that year. Sakaki Makoto's sigh made him feel that things were out of control.

He didn't know the deep meaning of Sakaki's sigh, so...

Begin to feel nervous and fearful.

"Mr. Sakaki, why are you asking about this?"

Sakata Yusuke turned around and pushed up his glasses.

After taking a sip of whiskey, Sakaki looked at the bottle in his hand and said calmly:

"Why do you want to be a police officer?"

"I"

Sakata Yusuke suddenly spoke and began to feel panic.

The reason why he became a policeman was naturally to find out the truth about the incident that year, but...

This reason cannot be stated.

Just like a melon ripening and falling off its stem.

opportunity

Mature.

"Should I call you Yusuke Sakata or Yusuke Inaba?"

Sakaki Cheng looked over, his eyes as calm as water, without any ripples.

"you"

Unable to help but take half a step back, Yusuke Sakata looked horrified:

"What are you talking about."

"Of course my last name is. Last name."

The sound became smaller and smaller, disappearing like a mosquito.

Sakata Yusuke clenched his fists, unable to say anything to argue.

By lying, you may be able to hide the truth and have some luck.

Can.

Is it really worth it?

Wasn't everything he did to clear his father's grievances and avenge him?

If I had to say it myself, his surname would be Sakata, not Inaba.

Could it be that for the sake of selfishness, you have abandoned your original intention?

He can't do it.

See the situation

Conan's little face turned red with excitement, and he shook his fist twice at Hattori Heiji.

The outcome is decided!
