Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 127 Dog Whistle

The so-called "dog whistle effect" is a more covert form of psychological manipulation than the "gaslight effect," which can drive people to the point of hysteria without causing any disturbance.

It refers to a person who deliberately angers, irritates, or humiliates another person through hints, coded messages, or hidden means, while remaining outwardly friendly and harmless. The abuser's actions may seem harmless, but they can actually hurt the victim.

This concept originated in the political field, just like a dog whistle emits a high-frequency sound that is inaudible to humans but can be heard by dogs. In the political scene, it is a covert political communication strategy.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Senior Kazama will show you right away."

Fushimi Shika stood outside the one-way glass mirror, holding the broad beans he had picked from Watanabe Shun's work station, with an expression of watching a good show on his face.

He just whispered something to Kazama Takusai, who looked suspicious but nodded and agreed to do as he said.

Gen Tamako looked puzzled. She stood beside Fushimi Kazama, her hands on the one-way glass mirror, her eyes fixed on Senior Kazama in the interrogation room, fearing that he would repeat his past mistakes and torture her again.

Officer Sakai sat in the interrogation room, shaking her legs in annoyance, not knowing what this group of people were up to.

"Why did they suddenly change the person when the trial was going well? What does this case have to do with the dog whistle effect?" Yuan Yuzi couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be impatient, you'll know soon." Fushimi Shika chewed a broad bean with a snap.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Kazama Takusai coming from the interrogation room. There was a microphone in the room, which was a one-way transmission. People outside could hear the people inside talking, but people inside could not hear the outside noise.

"There's no window here, so your chest must be feeling stuffy, right?" asked Takusai Kazama.

Mrs. Kamei raised her head, her face tense, like an animal baring its teeth, her voice was not loud, but full of hostility: "What do you mean?"

"I'm a policeman, I have to care about the suspect's physical condition. You're old, and being too bored is not good for your health. Older people should pay attention to their heart health and protect this place more..." Fengjian Takusai patted his chest and asked, "Right?"

"You're going too far!!"

Kamei Riko's devilish voice pierced her ears and frightened Yuan Yuzi. She got goose bumps all over her body and subconsciously took a step back.

The conversation in the interrogation room continued, and the atmosphere became more and more weird. Kazama Takusai said, "What's wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with caring about you?" Kamei Riko asked back, "Are you saying that I'm being unreasonable? Did I misunderstand your good intentions?"

Officer Sakai couldn't stand it any longer, so she quickly comforted him, "Officer Kazama didn't mean that..."

Kazama Takusai interrupted, "Isn't it?"

Kamei Riko pounded the table like crazy, the shackles on her wrists bleeding. She roared and screamed, trying her best to vent her emotions: "It's obviously you who hit me! It's obviously you who are hurting me! Why! Why are you all targeting me like this!!"

Yuan Yuzi's scalp tingled, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously thought of the St. Bernard she had met before. Kamei Riko was just like that dog, sensitive, irritable, and easily angered, attacking people for no reason. Even though she knew that it was Kazama Takusai who started it, she still subconsciously felt that Kamei Riko was being unreasonable.

“See, this is the dog whistle effect.”

Fushimi Kakashi's eyes seemed to be appreciating a piece of art, and the scene behind the one-way glass was like a world-famous painting.

“But, but why…” Yuan Yuzi stuttered, not even knowing what to ask for a moment.

She knew something was wrong, but she didn't know how it happened.

"Before bringing Mrs. Kamei back to the koban, Senior Kazama hit her in the chest," Fushimi Shika explained slowly, "If you were Mrs. Kamei and heard what Senior Kazama said just now, what would you think?" "He is deliberately exposing my scars..." Gen Tamako replied subconsciously.

"That's right, but from the perspective of an outsider, Senior Kazama is just concerned about Mrs. Kamei, and Mrs. Kamei is making a scene in public... Even if she explains the truth, look at her expression. Will anyone stand by her? We are all emotional animals and will only listen to people who speak in a gentle tone."

Fushimi Shika brought a chair, sat down and continued, "Looking at her condition, this is more than once or twice. Someone has trained Mrs. Kamei into a biting dog. As long as the dog whistle is blown, she will lose her mind and bite people everywhere."

Finally, he concluded: "Mr. Kamei's fall from the building was not an accident. This was a premeditated murder case. Someone was using people to kill people."

Yuan Yuzi finally reacted. She rushed into the interrogation room and stopped this ridiculous experiment.

But Kamei Riko's emotions were out of control. She kept cursing Takusai Kazama, and began to scold everyone present, even the police station and the Metropolitan Police Department. She scolded them all.

After learning the truth, Officer Sakai was furious, believing that the so-called "using the dog whistle effect to kill people" was a fabrication and that Fushimi Shika was just unilaterally provoking the suspect.

She called everyone out of the interrogation room, slammed the table and scolded: "This is just an ordinary case of manslaughter! If you have to make a big deal out of it, it's just an impulsive murder at best! What dog whistles, what emotional breakdown, it's pure nonsense! Do you have any evidence? Fushimi-kun, I understand your desire to pass the initial training, but you can't fabricate a murder case just to get a permanent job..."

"You want evidence, right?" Fushimi Shika interrupted.

Officer Sakai had a bad feeling. Before she could say anything, she saw Fushimi Shika turn around and walk into the interrogation room. Everyone hurriedly followed him, trying to pull him out.

The few words that Kazama Takusa said just now had chilled everyone's heart, even Kazama Takusa himself felt it was cruel. They dared not imagine the scene where Fushimi Shika continued to provoke Mrs. Kamei, and hurriedly grabbed Fushimi Shika's arms and shoulders. Unexpectedly, Fushimi Shika suddenly said:

"I found Marujiro."

Mrs. Kamei shuddered.

She raised her head and swallowed her saliva, and the manic anger in her body gradually subsided. Under the surprised gaze of everyone, she begged Fushimi Shika to bring Marujiro over so that she could take a look... At this moment, Kamei Riko turned back into the haggard and cowardly middle-aged woman.

Everyone slowly let go of their hands with complicated expressions.

Fushimi Shika turned his head and looked at Officer Sakai, mouthing "Look, this is the evidence you want." The latter was startled and had a bad premonition in his heart. Just as he was about to speak to stop him, he heard Fushimi Shika say with a smile: "Unfortunately, I ate it."

……

There was silence in the interrogation room.

"What?" Kamei Riko suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Dog meat hotpot, haven't you heard of it? It's a delicious Chinese cuisine," Fushimi Shika squeezed his chest and burped at her, "Smell it, maybe it smells like Marujiro."

……

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!! Go to hell you scum!!!"

Under Kamei Riko's shrill roar, Fushimi Shika turned around, with his back to the incandescent light, he opened his arms, faced the crowd, and said softly:

"See, it's that easy to make her kill someone."
