i'm not a detective

Chapter 112 What kind of psychosis does this ghost have?

"Excuse me... the psychic detective Qiyuan-san mentioned in the newspaper, does he live here?"

Qingjian Liuli opened the door and saw an uncle in his 40s standing at the gate of the courtyard. His face was reserved but very polite. The fence door was decorative and he didn't go too far. He just stood there and asked, Did not come in without permission.

She hurried up to greet her, and politely replied, "Yes, this is his house... who are you?"

The middle-aged uncle took off his hat to reveal his slightly bald forehead, and said politely and cautiously: "I am Ba Shusheng, this...I have something to ask classmate Qiyuan Wu, but I don't know how much it will cost?"

"Wait a minute." Although Qing Jian Liuli is the assistant of Takeshi Qiyuan, she is actually just a housekeeping robot. I really don't know how he charges. I just feel that this guy seems to be watching people order dishes all the time. Just press the oil hard, and the poor will spend hard money, and the fees are very arbitrary.

She immediately went back to the room and found that Takeshi Qiyuan was already in good spirits. He had taken good care of his appearance and moved a crystal ball from somewhere to put it on the table. It was covered with a black cloth and he looked decent and professional. God stick.

She was speechless for a while, and said in a bad mood: "It's not a fat sheep. The uncle who came here is called Ba Shusheng. He doesn't look like a rich man. He must have seen your story in the newspaper. I don't know how to find it." , Now I want to ask how you charge."

Takeshi Qiyuan was not disappointed, but rather satisfied. As expected, being in the newspaper is the shortcut to becoming famous, which is much more efficient than setting up a stall in the park and slowly accumulating word of mouth. There are quite a few rich guys who are dressed worse than homeless people, let’s invite them in first, and negotiate the price depending on the situation, if he thinks it’s too expensive, he’ll just leave, so I’ll just treat him as if I’m buying him a cup of tea.”

"It's really not a rich man!" Qingjian Liuli told him worryingly, lest he ruin his own business and reduce the quality of food, "Uncle Bashu should be a construction worker and doesn't have much spare money, so don't ask for prices." .”

Qiyuan Wu looked her up and down, and asked with a smile: "Construction worker? Did you read it coldly?"

Qingjian Liuli said to himself: "Of course, he didn't give me a business card, probably because he didn't use it much, and he was a manual worker who rarely had to deal with outsiders, and his coat was old and outdated, and there were some spots between his nails. Baihui, so I judge he is a construction worker."

Qiyuan Wu got up and applauded lightly. He was a little curious because of what she said. He walked towards the door to take a look, and said with a smile: "It's not easy, it's been a month, and your eyes are finally starting to work. I thought it was a decoration before."

Seeing that Liuli didn't care about his strange words, Qing Xiao snorted, but was very proud of herself——is it true that Jin Buhuan is true?Eating smart eggs can really improve intelligence?

No, no, that kid made it up to deceive people. In fact, I am a genius, but I didn't have a famous teacher... no, it was because I didn't have a cunning bastard to teach me.

Now I have finally touched the corner of a famous detective, and I have endured humiliation for a month.

Humph, the future looks bright.

Qiyuan Wu went to the door and took a look through the crack of the door, then came back, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really not a fat sheep, but let's invite people in, it's just opened, the style hasn't been established, and you can't pick and choose from the guests , You have to work even if you get a discount."

Seeing that Liuli turned around and was about to invite someone, Qing said happily, "I guess right? Cold reading is not too difficult, and I will go to the stall with you in the future."

Well, it's almost time to go out and go to actual combat. After accumulating experience in actual combat, I will attack him and let him be my detective.

Qi Yuanwu couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and pull it down, it's true that it's not a fat sheep, and the rest you read a woolen thread, it's completely nonsense."

Qing Jian Liuli was taken aback: "Not a construction worker?"

"It doesn't matter at all. He is a security guard on the night shift. The white ash under his fingernails is probably due to the fact that he just bought a house and was reluctant to spend money to hire someone. He is painting it himself." Qi Yuanwu said casually, "This time, it is probably the house. If something goes wrong, it is very likely that you bought the haunted house for cheap."

Qingjian Liuli was surprised: "You... how do you know that he is a security guard?"

"Because of his clothes and posture." Takeshi Qiyuan was not in a hurry to welcome guests, he was not in a hurry to buy a business, and explained casually, "His jacket fits well, and he changed it for visitors, but he only changed his jacket and coat. , but the pants do not fit well, the fabric is cheap and wear-resistant khaki wheels, it should be a uniform issued uniform, the worn part is vaguely close to the back of the thigh... I can't see it from the back, but combined with his body, his hip muscles are relatively loose , Slightly slumped shoulders, weakness in upper limbs, and a slightly fat body can tell that he will sit for a long time and grind his butt all the time.

Moreover, he also has problems with his standing posture. He keeps subconsciously changing his supporting feet. It is suspected that the blood flow in his legs is not smooth, and varicose veins cause discomfort. Walking, but not at a very fast speed, and can still maintain a slightly fat body.

He also wears a Casio multi-function electronic watch, which is more expensive and relatively trendy for him, unlike the watches he would buy at his age, probably because he wants the function of setting multiple alarm clocks.

So what job wears cheap uniforms and requires regular reminders to sit, stand, and walk around? "

Qing Jian Liuli was stunned for a moment, she didn't find so many details when she looked carefully, she couldn't refute for a while, and said depressedly: "Okay, he is a security guard, but what about night security?"

Qiyuan Wu smiled and said: "Because of his face, his facial skin has the characteristics of lack of sun exposure, and it is a kind of pale white due to a slight lack of vitamin D. He spends [-]% of his days sleeping, and only works at night.

As for him painting his own house, which construction worker would only work night shifts instead of day shifts?

He is not a construction worker. The white ash in the gaps between his fingernails is of course likely to be painting the walls of his own house, but he didn't even wash his hands properly. He ran over after tearing off his coat. He was obviously nervous. His house was not working. Wrong, it is very likely that I just bought it, and I just realized something was wrong. "

Seeing that Liuli had nothing to say, Qing could only invite Bashusheng in depressedly, but when he accompanied him in, he asked a little dissatisfied: "Bashusang, are you the security guard on the night shift?"

Ba Shusheng was stunned, took a breath, and looked at this delicate little girl in home clothes in awe. Unexpectedly, there was no exaggeration in the newspaper. Even the little girl at the gate here has "super-sensing" ability , easily saw through his identity.

There is no other explanation other than super perception. He only rests three days a month, rarely goes out in broad daylight, and has hardly been to Dongyu Town. It is impossible for people here to know him.

He became more cautious, and said politely: "I am indeed engaged in this profession, and I don't deal with people very much. If there is any impoliteness, please..."

"Ah, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, my surname is Qingjian."

Only then did Ba Shusheng pick it up, "Please forgive me, my classmates."

Qing Jian Liuli has always been soft and not hard, and when people are polite to her, she will be more polite to others, and quickly bowed slightly: "You are too polite, I am young, you don't need to say honorific words to me."

"Where, where, whatever you want..."

The two of them went into the house after being polite, Qing Jian Liuli went to make tea, and Qiyuan Wu asked Ba Shusheng to sit opposite him, across the crystal ball covered with a black cloth - the fat sheep was supposed to be slaughtered, but now it is no longer needed , can only be used as decorations—— through the crystal ball, he asked lightly: "Did Bashu Mulberry come here for the relocation?"

Ba Shusheng breathed out again, and made another sin for global warming. He didn't have any doubts about the famous psychic detective in the newspaper, so he quickly said politely: "It's really about the new house, I think Please... it's probably considered exorcism, but I don't know the price."

Qing Jian Liuli delivered tea in a special teacup for hospitality, and curiously sat behind Qiyuan Wu and listened.

Qi Yuanwu first asked Ba Shushang to drink tea, and then smiled and said: "Probably counted as an exorcism? Ba Shusang encountered a haunted house? There are many ways to exterminate spirits. I wonder what kind of haunted house Ba Shusang encountered? If not Clear, can you describe what happened first, did you see something unclean, or did something strange happen?"

Bashu Shengma said: "It is indeed a haunted house. At first... please don't be offended by saying that. At first I didn't really believe in such things, so before... I saw that the house was very cheap and beautiful, so I bought it..."

Holding the teacup in his hand, he recounted the recent events in detail.

He is in his 40s, and his daughter is getting older. The small apartment he rented is very small and inconvenient. In addition, the real estate bubble in Japan has burst. Land and houses have changed from investment goods to daily necessities, and the price has plummeted. , the minimum is only 30% of the previous level, so he started to think about buying a house for himself-he just needed it, and thought he could afford it, so he wanted to buy it, and everyone wanted to have a home of their own , it is better to have a big and beautiful home, and he is no exception.

He was even a little worried that if he didn't buy it now, if the price went up again, he might not be able to buy it for a person with a low income like him. As soon as he had this idea, he was ready to move, and he really ran to ask.

However, the income of being a security guard is really not good, and he doesn't want to bear too high a loan. After all, his daughter still has to go to school, so he asked around and finally found a haunted house.

The original owner encountered a thief burglarizing at home, and there was a fierce fight between the two sides. In the end, the owner was defeated and killed, but the thief did not end up well. He lost a lot of blood and was found before the ambulance arrived.

Two people died in this house, both of which were miserable, so the house was a bit unsalable.

The real estate agent did not hide this. After all, if this kind of thing is discovered, they will be sued in court. If they are convicted of fraud, they will get a good reputation and lose money. They are not that stupid. I bought a super discounted price - 400% off, [-] million yen, the big house is taken away, but you need to sign a guarantee letter, you can't refund it if you buy it, and they will not be responsible for anything.

Ba Shusheng was very satisfied when he saw the house. Although the house is more than 20 years old, the people who built the house were very careful. The quality of the house is very good. We invited a famous designer to design it. It looks very stylish at first glance, and we want to live in it. It will be very comfortable if you think about it.

He likes it no matter how he sees it, and he is a night security guard, and he has developed his guts a long time ago—you can’t be a night security guard if you are too timid. He often listens to ghost stories on the radio for excitement when he goes to work. , A person should patrol, should stand guard, and should not be afraid of ghosts at all.

The house is so good, and the price is so cheap. With the same money to buy a new house, you can't buy a new house half the size, and the apartment size is not as good. He went home to discuss with his wife and daughter, and then took them to see the house together, and guaranteed in every possible way. There is absolutely no problem with the promise, and the wife and daughter are finally persuaded. After seeing such a good house, the mother and daughter will go to see another house with the same price. It's small, so I agreed directly.

My family is not rich, and sometimes I really can't tolerate picking and choosing, or throwing away tens of millions of yen in discounts just because of a little fear.

After buying a new house, Ba Shusheng immediately took active actions. To comfort his wife and daughter, he bought a large pile of salt to drive away evil spirits for the whole house. , Live in it by the way, to prove to my wife and daughter that there is absolutely no problem and there is no need to worry.

Then something happened. He went to work at night, and went to paint and rest in the new house during the day. As a result, when he got off work yesterday morning, he found that many salt piles scattered around the room, and even disappeared directly. Some scattered on the ground Yes, there are rows and rows of weird black dots on it.

In addition, the walls he had just painted had also changed, revealing the original walls again, as if they hadn't been painted.

When Bashusheng said this, his face was a little sad. Seeing that Liuli couldn't help it, Qing Qing immediately asked, "It sounds like a prank, didn't Bashusang call the police?"

Ba Shusheng shook his head and said: "Yesterday I went to Jiaofan to call the police, but the police went back after looking at it. Now the house is empty. There is nothing in it except some painting tools, paint and wallpaper. Nothing was lost, and nothing Nothing was destroyed, and there was no trace of intrusion by outsiders...Although some of the salt has disappeared, the case cannot be settled just by throwing salt."

After a pause, he said hesitantly, "As for pranks...we haven't moved there, and we don't know anyone there, who would do this kind of prank? The wall I painted all day has returned to its original shape. What a prank... Don't be so troublesome, right? We thought about it, and the only one left is the original owner of the house..."

Qing Jian Liuli nodded hesitantly, and also felt that a simple prank seemed unreasonable, at least it needed to go to the field to see it before drawing a conclusion.

But the ghost who stole the salt?The ghost who forbids people to paint the walls?
What kind of mental illness does this ghost have?

Bashusheng turned his head to Qiyuanwu and said sincerely: "Student Qiyuan, my wife and daughter were a little scared when they found out about it yesterday. They thought it might be...it turns out that the owner of the house didn't want to leave and didn't want the house to be changed. They didn't dare to move. I lived in the past, so I thought of you. You have the ability to deal with supernatural events and you are also a detective, so I just wanted to ask, if the price is right, can you help me investigate?"

This is the benefit of fame. In order to dispel the panic of his wife and daughter and successfully live in that house, he had to come here especially for his wife and daughter's peace of mind.
