i'm not a detective

Chapter 220

Kakumaruyuki didn't expect to be able to pick up the deceased's money by climbing a mountain, so she felt a little scalp tingling for a while, and felt a little bit psychologically uncomfortable, so she asked Qiyuan Wu: "Master, what is... the ferry money for the Santu River?" ?”

"It's a folk custom."

Qiyuan Wu looked at the coins rolling all over the floor, but he didn't dislike Qing Jian Liuli's fear.To be honest, even if he was a "psychic medium", he didn't want to touch this kind of money from the underworld, so he gave them a brief introduction to the origin of "ferry money".

Santu River is also known as Santu River, Zantou River, and Sanse River. According to the apocryphal "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Heart and Fate Ten Kings Sutra", Santu River is located in the first hall of King Qin Guang and the second hall of Yama King Chu. Among the kings of the river, there are three rivers with different urgency, and there is only one way to cross the Santu River, and that is to take the ferry of the Santu River.

But you have to pay for the ferry. If you don’t have the fare, even if you board the boat, you will be thrown into the river by the boatman. However, the Santu River has no buoyancy and is corrosive. Souls thrown into the water will sink to the bottom of the river forever. Lost the chance of reincarnation and suffered day and night.

The boat fare is six-money money. Therefore, when a funeral is held in Japan, according to religious customs, the family members of the deceased will prepare a "six-moon bag", put six copper coins, and tie it tightly to the waist of the deceased, so as to prevent the deceased from being unable to cross the river and perish forever. .

Kakumaruyuki understood. The one-yen coin in the early version was made of copper with a round hole, so it was written as a one-money coin, and six coins were put together in a small white cloth pocket. It must be ferry money. I couldn't help but my scalp became more numb, and I murmured: "Then why did the ferry money fall by the side of the mountain road? Could it be..."

Qing Jian Liuli came back to her senses at this moment, followed her words, and said in surprise: "Could it be that someone robbed the tomb?"

The ferry money is obviously a very important burial object, and it must be close to the deceased. The deceased must have been properly placed in the coffin during the funeral. .

Takeshi Qiyuan stroked his chin, and thoughtfully said: "It doesn't have to be a tomb robbery, even if it is a tomb robbery, it would not take a six-pattern bag. Just put some small toys that the deceased loved during his lifetime, which is basically unprofitable, and there are not many tomb robberies."

Qing Jian Liuli was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Then... it's corpse stealing, in the hotel..."

She was thinking of the "spontaneous human combustion" case that just happened in the hotel. At that time, the old lady Zhongmu lived in that room, leaving only a handful of ashes in the end. Everyone instinctively thought that it was the old lady Zhongmu. A six-pattern bag appeared, so it was a little suspicious that the person who was burnt to ashes in the room was the old lady Zhongmu...

Takeshi Qiyuan picked up the six-pattern bag, touched the material, nodded slightly and said: "When the abbot comes back, ask him, first determine whether it is a corpse robbery case."

…………

There are more than 400 chess pieces on each side of the overall shogi game, and each chess piece needs more than 400 moves. It is impossible to finish playing in a short time. The abbot monk came back from the town and was preparing to see how the battle is going with great interest. Unexpectedly It seems that there is a case of corpse theft in his own temple.

He took a closer look at the six-pattern bag, poured out the six-yen bills inside, and looked at it. His face immediately turned ugly, and he got up and walked quickly to the cemetery.The six-pattern bag is the funeral supplies sold in his small temple. It is part of a set of Sutra-patterned clothing. Others include Buddhist beads, hand and foot straps, triangular scarves, tutu bags, etc. It is indeed very strange to appear on the mountain unexpectedly. strangeness.

It’s okay if there is only one six-pattern bag, but if there is six yen in it, it must be a burial object, and 100% of this burial object should be in the coffin.

Qi Yuanwu and others followed immediately, followed the abbot and monk to a new tomb in the temple cemetery, and the abbot and monk hurriedly inspected it and found that something was wrong. The tomb obviously showed signs of being dug up and refilled.

Qingjian Liuli looked at the name and date of birth on the tombstone, and found that the owner of the tomb was a 58-year-old woman, and felt that this matter was even more suspicious, so she asked the abbot carefully: "Master, is this... When was it buried?"

"Just the day before yesterday." The abbot monk didn't dare to touch the tomb for the time being, but felt that the body had been stolen. He lowered his eyes and read a few scriptures silently, and said seriously, "Please go back to the hotel for now, I will call Call the police and notify the family of the deceased."

Whether or not the corpse case really happened still needs to be confirmed by opening the coffin. He can't decide on his own, so he can only go to the police and notify the family members of the deceased. They went back to the hotel, and we'll talk about things later.

Qi Yuanwu and the others also had no objection, they threw down the chess game and went down the mountain temporarily.

Qingjian Liuli hugged Naokawa Aoi, and asked Qiyuan Wu: "What do you think is going on?"

Qiyuan Wu thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "It looks like a fake death, but the specific reason is not clear, and we need to investigate carefully, but I think it probably has a lot to do with money, but it's just that you are such a toss , Fake death is probably yellow, she probably will hate you to death."

That old lady in Zhongmu really hated her to death. Originally, the person who died in the hotel had nothing to do with her, so she went to inquire about the situation, see the scene, and went up to the mountain to play chess. She didn't like to watch chess, but He wanted to run around on the mountain, but he picked up a six-pattern bag, and found out that there might be a case of corpse theft. As a result, the old lady Zhongmu tried to fake her death but failed, and maybe a series of long-winded things would be pulled out later.

Well, according to the usual behavior of the Japanese police, the case should have been closed by accident. At that time, it looked very similar to "spontaneous human combustion", but they immediately denied that it was an accident. It is likely that Mrs. Nakaki would be killed. Murder, the water inside might be very deep, and things can't be long-winded.

Qing Jian Liuli also thinks it looks like it. It is estimated that the old lady Zhongmu needs to fake her death for some reason. However, if there is no one alive or dead, she may be suspected of being pursued by relevant people. Maybe they will hire a group of detectives to search carefully. Just such a thing happened, stealing a corpse to die instead, but I don't know what's going on inside, and whether there are any accomplices, which makes people feel a little itchy.

But this matter is too difficult to find out, they are here to escape the summer heat, and the old lady Zhongmu is also here to escape the summer heat. They are not locals. I really want to know the inside story. I have to visit the original city of the old lady Zhongmu carefully. They don’t have the conditions , that's all.

But thinking about it, the facts of the case are so clear and clear, the police should be able to figure out the inside story slowly, otherwise it would really be "a group of idiots who only get paid".

She gave up, and just sighed: "This method of cheating death is quite novel. I didn't expect that she could think of imitating the spontaneous combustion of the human body."

Qi Yuanwu stroked his chin and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. It should be an accident to imitate the spontaneous combustion of the human body. She probably just wanted to fake a case of murder and cremation. Forget it's summer."

Seeing Liuli startled for a moment, Qing asked strangely, "What do you mean?"

Qiyuan Wu said with a smile: "It may be a bit uncomfortable to say. In hot weather, if the body is not professionally treated, the decay rate will be very fast, and the fat will overflow in the form of oil. The whole body seems to be soaked in oil, that is, The corpse turned into oil, and judging from the material of the six-pattern bag, the deceased's clothes were made of pure white kapok, which mainly served as heat insulation and anticorrosion, but it also happened to be a very good candle wick material.

The old lady Zhongmu probably wanted to burn the body in her room. With the current technological conditions and preconceived ideas, there is a high probability that she can mislead the police that she is dead. , Inadvertently triggered an effect similar to the spontaneous combustion of the human body, and finally burned directly to ashes. In a sense, luck is not bad. "

Qingjian Liuli made up the scene mentioned by Takeshi Qihara in his brain. Mrs. Nakaki stole a corpse of suitable age, gender and even body shape by herself or with the help of her accomplices. He transported the corpse to his hotel room, poured oil on it, set the corpse on fire, and fled in a hurry.

It should be like this. She probably didn't have the guts to stay at the scene for a long time, and fled as soon as she lit the fire. However, she didn't expect that the body was initially oily. She probably burned some more oil, plus the special properties of the clothes. , directly turned the stolen body into a big candle, and burned it slowly all night.

Even thinking about it further, the old lady Zhongmu comes to escape the summer heat every year, and she will stay there for a long time. Even the room she lives in is specially selected, in the outermost corner of the hotel. The method is to cheat death and get away.

As for why she didn't directly set fire to the room, it was probably because she was afraid that there would be too much noise and she would be discovered too early, so she simply set the stolen corpse on fire.

Qingjian Liuli was concentrating on her thoughts, and Kakumaruyuki couldn't take it anymore, this is a good time to go on vacation, discussing spontaneous human combustion, corpse oil and so on all day, it's really unbearable.

Talking about dead bodies every day, who is on vacation like this!
She pushed Qiyuan Wu forward, not letting him chat with Qingjian Liuli, and said loudly: "Master, stop talking about this, let's go to the beach and let sister Liuli wear a swimsuit for you to see!"

Qing saw Liuli "cut" and stopped the topic. This case is really disgusting to think about, so it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, but the master and apprentice have a good idea. Don't even think about seeing her in a swimsuit. She will go to the beach when the time comes. Go, never let Takeshi Qiyuan take advantage of his eyes.

…………

This was a small episode during the summer vacation. After roughly figuring out what was going on, Qing Jian Liuli put the matter behind her and didn't plan to dig deeper into the truth, but they couldn't find a place to swim in the sea that day either. After receiving the report, the police attached great importance to it, and soon found her in the hotel and asked her to assist in the investigation.

She also cooperated honestly, followed the police up the mountain again, pointed out the location where the six-pattern bag was picked up, and helped the criminal police search along the road for a long time. She also has a little insight now. Seeing that all the criminal policemen are capable, they seem to be better than Nakano Eri and Okuno Taiji. She also believes that this case is very deep.

The gang of detectives didn't expect that a female high school student could figure out so many things by herself. The middle-aged detective in the lead took a few extra glances at her and asked her about her situation, only to find out that she was a "famous detective" The assistant, slightly surprised, revealed a little bit of inside information.

They have been staring at Mrs. Zhongmu for a long time. This old lady is a senior accountant of a gang organization and a part-time broker. She is suspected of bribery, extortion, huge donations, insider trading, illegal transactions and a series of problems. They are digging deep. The old lady died suddenly. Even though the death scene was very strange, it looked like an accident no matter how you looked at it. They immediately suspected that she was silenced, so they refused to close the case and planned to deal with it together.

Now that they have seen Liuli's blessing, even if there is no direct evidence, they are basically sure that Mrs. Zhongmu escaped by feigning death. As long as the old lady doesn't want to be silenced, turning into a police tainted witness to save her life is her only choice. Maybe it can play a decisive role in bringing down this large gang organization.

But these are not related to the two high school student detectives. "Fighting on the top" is the current focus of the work of the Taoist Police Headquarters and local prosecutors. It is also impossible to ask for foreign aid, but the middle-aged criminal policeman wrote down the names of Qiyuan Takeshi and Qingjian Liuli. I feel that this pair of partners is quite capable, and they can guess a certain inside story without much information, so it is really uncertain in the future. case, maybe you can call them to help.

I don't know if this should be counted as a case or not. The criminal police have gone after Mrs. Zhongmu again, and they will not stop until they find her. This kind of thing, even if no one is dead, is still a bit scary. The tourists on vacation just ran a lot, but it made them live a lot more comfortably and have a good time.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, fishing, boating, playing chess, soaking in mountain springs, eating and drinking. When Shi Qing saw Liu Li, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Living here is so comfortable, Qiyuan Takeshi is lazy every day, in a good mood all the time, and didn't make her angry at all, and the two little apprentices, one lively and the other dull, are also very fun, and in the end she made her mother see Xiangzi I forgot what I told you, and now even if I go to Xiongshou Mountain, I can’t play for a few days. I feel a little regretful——she wants to have fun with Qi Yuanwu in Xiongshou Mountain, but there are more than 20 days of summer vacation, and it’s almost 20 days in the past. It won't last long.

She hesitated for a while, and asked Qiyuan Wu for his opinion. In the end, the two divided into two groups. Qiyuan Wu took the young apprentices home first, and she turned a corner on the road to see grandpa and grandma, and then went home to find them .

In the past six months, she has done a lot of great things, and she has taken a solid step towards her ideals. It is not easy to tell her mother about these things, and her mother will definitely scold her, but she can brag to her grandparents.

Hmph, she is now a detective's assistant, which is different from before. Grandpa and grandma will definitely praise her.

　This paragraph has been stuck for a long time, and writing about this case and going to Xiongshou Mountain is so awkward, so... I deleted this large paragraph.
