Chapter 229

Qiyuan Wu walked quickly to the living room and turned on the TV and VCR.The video recorder started to play the scene of Sugada Sayoko’s birthday last year, and Nanahara Takeshi pressed the remote control to start rewinding, so that the scene returned to the time when Sugada Mai went to the study to “interview” Sugada Yukio.

In the picture, Yukio Sukada is reading a book in the study room. When Mai Sukada asks, "Father, what birthday gift did you prepare for mother?", he closes the book, takes off his glasses, and smiles while biting the temple of his glasses. It seems to be thinking about whether to "spoiler" the lively adopted daughter in advance.

At this point in the screen, Takeshi Qiyuan pressed the pause button, Qing Jian Liuli also came to his senses, and asked in surprise: "The toxin was applied to the temples of the glasses?"

It is common sense that glasses should not be eaten. Although the glasses were next to the corpse, no one thought that the temples of the glasses were poisoned.If Mai Sukata hadn't reminded him that he was silently thinking about his father before, and while watching this video, and happened to be seen by Takeshi Qihara who happened to come over by chance, everyone would probably not be able to figure out how the murderer poisoned them.

Qiyuan Wu just glanced casually before, and didn't remember it in his heart. Now that he checked the screen, he nodded slightly and said: "Probably, otherwise there is no other possibility."

Qing Jian Liuli also felt that it was almost the same, but she was still a little afraid of making mistakes, and asked cautiously: "That's just biting the temple of the glasses, is the poison enough to kill?"

"Enough. It is rumored that 1 gram of cyanide is enough to poison 500 people. In fact, it may be a bit exaggerated, but a lick is enough to kill people." Takeshi Qiyuan ordered, "Call Miss Nakano and let the forensic department check Take a look at Sugata-san's glasses, and remind her by the way that if she also has this little habit, it's best to change it quickly."

It's too unfair to be poisoned to death like this.

"Okay." Kiyoshi Ruri hurried to call Nakano Eri.

Takeshi Qihara's eyes turned to Mai Sugata, seeing her staring at the TV screen in a daze, raised her hand to turn off the TV with the remote control, and sighed: "Do you always carry your father's glasses with you?"

"Ah, no." Sugata Mai came back to his senses and said subconsciously, "My father's eyesight is not too bad, and he doesn't need glasses most of the time. He usually puts them in the study room for reading and newspapers."

Qi Yuanwu nodded, and said again: "Don't think too much, let's continue eating first!"

Mai Sugata also nodded slightly, and smiled at Takeshi Qihara, "Thank you, Nissan Nanahara."

Qingjian Liuli also came back soon, and the three of them continued to eat.Seeing that Mai Sugada was a little dull, she thought she was thinking about the test results, so she started a new topic and asked curiously, "Mai-chan, which school do you study in?"

Mai Sugada raised her head and smiled, "It's in the junior high school of Hirano Special Protection Education School."

"Special protection education school..." Qing Jian Liuli didn't understand at first, but it took a while to realize that this is a special school for the disabled.

In theory, having a physical disability does not affect schooling, but in reality, there are many difficulties.

Take Sugata Mai for example, she has limited mobility, what if she is studying in an ordinary school and goes upstairs?Even if there are classmates and teachers who help carry it up every day, what about going to the toilet?
You can't cause trouble for others every day, or from time to time.

So she can only go to special education schools specially set up by the government, but they are more like vocational schools, and the teachers and hardware conditions are relatively weak. It is more difficult to enter a university, and it is even more difficult to enter a prestigious school.

Qing Jian Liuli was secretly annoyed, and felt that the new topic she started was really stupid. She wanted to change the topic but didn't know how to turn around smoothly. You don’t have to be so cautious, although my legs and feet are not convenient, but I live a good life.”

The implication is to let Qingjian Liuli not be so shy when speaking.

Seeing Liuli smiled shyly, and then carefully looked at her face, she found that she didn't seem to care much about her paralysis, or she had already accepted the reality, so she couldn't help admiring: "You are so strong, Mai sauce."

Mai Sukata smiled back: "Sighing and lamenting won't change the reality, Kiyomi sister."

Seeing that Liuli liked her more and more, Qing asked curiously, "Then what do you usually do? Besides cooking, do you have any hobbies?"

Mai Sukada replied very cooperatively: "I don't do anything except go to school. I usually just go home to accompany my mother, or play Sudoku, crossword and other intellectual games, and occasionally accompany my father. Play chess. During the holidays, I will go to the library and work as a librarian part-time."

She sounds like a good girl, her hobbies are not uniform.

Qing Jian Liuli thought for a while and asked, "Do you usually read novels and comics?"

"I read novels occasionally, but I don't read many. I can see what kind of novels my sister likes."

"Oh, me? I prefer mystery novels."

"Then I read..."

Sukata Mai immediately mentioned a few well-known mystery novels in recent years, Kiyoshi Ruri finally found a common topic, and immediately discussed with her enthusiastically, but Nanahara Takeshi was eating beside him, smiling without saying a word.

After dinner, Eri Nakano also called. Traces of cyanide were successfully detected on Yukio Sukada's glasses, and there was only one temple.

The murderer's modus operandi is basically confirmed. It seems that the murderer is a guest who has been to Yukio Sukada's study recently, but the relevant personnel who have been questioned so far do not seem to be too suspicious, and even a reluctant motive for committing the crime cannot be found.

We can only investigate slowly.

Takeshi Qihara hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, and smiled at Xiang Qingjian Liuli: "Okay, we should leave." Mai Sukada didn't need them at all, and now that the modus operandi was clarified, there was no point in staying any longer .

Qing Jian Liuli was a little regretful, she rarely met a peer with whom she could discuss mystery novels, and wanted to have a good chat, but she had no choice but to say goodbye to Mai Sugata regretfully if Takeshi Qihara was leaving.

Mai Sukada sent them out. Seeing that Ruri was about to leave, Kiyoshi was still reluctant to part, and agreed to send some classic mystery novels and manga back to Mai Sukada to pass the time. It seemed that she was going to develop her into a fancier.

Well, she really likes the little girl Sugata Mai.

Naturally, Mai Sukata would not object, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, sister Kiyoshi, I'll wait for you." Then she politely said to Takeshi Qihara, "So is Qihara Nissan, you are welcome to play again."

Qiyuan Takeshi smiled politely, then looked at Qingjian Liuli who was empty-handed beside him, and reminded, "Schoolbag."

"Ah, yes, the schoolbag!" Qing Jian Liuli was taken aback for a moment, she was reluctant to give up her schoolbag just now, and forgot to take her schoolbag, so she hurried back to the living room to look for her schoolbag
Takeshi Qihara shook his head at her back, and smiled at Mai Sugata: "Thank you for your hard work today."

Mai Sugata smiled back: "It's nothing, Kiyomi is very nice."

Takeshi Qiyuan couldn't help laughing, but he and she had a bit of a common topic, "She's just a good person."

Mai Sugata thought for a while, covered her mouth, and smiled shyly.

Seeing Liuli's speed is very fast, Qing came back with two school bags in a blink of an eye. Seeing the two of them looking at each other and smiling, she couldn't help asking strangely: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Takeshi Qiyuan was even happier.

Sugata Mai also frowned, smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that Liuli didn't understand, Qing didn't bother to ask, and said to Mai Sugada, "Okay, Mai-chan, let's go, call us if you need something..." At this point, she remembered something again, "By the way , I haven’t left you any contact information yet.”

As she was talking, she wanted to take out paper and pens from her schoolbag, but when she took them out, the ballpoint pens, pencils, and erasers in the stationery bag fell all over the floor.

"Hands and feet all day long." Qiyuan Wu bent down to help her pick it up.

"The eraser is here." The eraser bounced under the wheelchair, and Mai Sugata took a step back while shaking the wheelchair, leaning his body hard to help pick it up.

"Let me do it!" Takeshi Qiyuan took two steps forward, reached out to touch the eraser, was slightly taken aback, then threw it to Qingjian Liuli casually as if nothing had happened.

"Don't throw it away, can't you just give it to me?" Qingjian Liuli muttered, packed the stationery bag in a hurry, left contact information for Mai Sugata, and also remembered the phone number of Sugata's house, and then went out.

Well, yes, I made a new friend, and maybe I can develop into a best friend in the future.

She thought about going home with Takeshi Qiyuan, and after walking for a while, seeing that he hadn't moved at all, she couldn't help but wondered: "What's wrong? Why didn't there be any movement at all, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Qiyuan Wu came back to his senses and responded casually.

Seeing that Liuli really wanted to chat, she carried two schoolbags and sighed: "Ma Yijiang is really good. This is the first time I have seen such a well-behaved child. He is so polite and very humble."

She didn't say anything else, she felt that Mai Sugata respected her quite a bit, anyway, she respected her more than her sister and little apprentice.

Qiyuan Wu didn't comment on this, but reminded: "It's quite modest, a little too modest, and it's not cute, it's just accommodating you. Usually such people are very high-minded and confident, and they will not be simple."

"Ah, is that so?" Qing Jian Liuli recalled it, and somewhat agreed, "It seems to be true, she is quite smart, and she is much better than when I was 14 years old."

Qiyuan Wu glanced at her sideways, and said angrily: "She is much stronger than you now."

Qing saw that Liuli was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't bother to argue with him, she curled her lips and said, "Cut, I don't know how to compare my abilities with my friends."

Qiyuan Wu gave her another sideways glance, said nothing, and changed the subject to chat.

…………

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, my nephew lit the lantern, and everything went on as usual. Qingjian Liuli had breakfast with Takeshi Qiyuan, and was about to go to school with him, only to find that Takeshi Qiyuan was not wearing a school uniform, and was still dressed casually at home.

She looked at her watch and said strangely, "Why don't you change your clothes yet, we're about to arrive."

Qiyuan Wu waved his hand and said: "I have something to do today, so I won't go to school. You go to school and ask for a leave of absence for me! Just ask for personal leave. If the teacher asks something, you just say you don't know. I will tell the teacher myself later. .”

"Why are you playing truant all of a sudden?" Qing Jian Liuli was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"

"Go check things out."

"Investigate what? Is it related to the case?" Qing Jian Liuli became more and more strange, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

You guy, why do you think it's a one-time job, tell me in advance, we can skip school together!
Qiyuan Wu glared at her: "I can do whatever I want, and I have no obligation to inform you. Now go to school quickly, and don't ask questions here."

Seeing that Liuli was not very happy, Qing said unhappy, "What are you going to do? Aren't we partners? If there is something to do, we should go together. Why can you play truant while I am going to school?"

"I'm asking for leave, not playing truant! I'm the first in my grade, and my grades won't be affected if I don't attend classes. Are you planning to return to the bottom one if you don't attend classes? And who is your partner? I'm your boss!" Nanahara Takeya Don't talk nonsense with her, just start threatening, "Go to school and attend class honestly, or be careful and I will call your mother to report you."

Qing Jian Liuli lowered her head and glared at him for a moment, then said angrily, "Then you should at least tell me what's going on!"

"I'm not sure now, I have to check to find out!"

Seeing that Liuli was helpless, Qing picked up her schoolbag, glared at him angrily, scolded him in her stomach, and went to school reluctantly—didn’t dare not go, Qi Yuanwu was inhuman, how dare she She called her mother, she didn't want to be shoveled by her mother to take off from the spot.

She didn't like Qiyuan Wu hiding something from her, so she went to the school with a straight face, first went to the staff room to find the supervisor teacher of class A to ask for leave for him, and wanted to give him some eye drops, such as slander, and asked class A supervisor teacher When I turned around, I gave him a good meal, but I didn't dare, because I was afraid that he would take revenge on her later.

If they retaliate against each other, she feels that she may not be the opponent of Qiyuan Takeshi. Qiyuan Takeshi usually pretends to be very good.

But when she left the classroom door, she felt a little regretful. She felt that she might be too timid, so she became more and more angry, and went back to the classroom aggrieved, at least she survived the day.

After school was over, she changed her shoes and took two steps towards the shoe kitchen of class A habitually, only then did she realize that she didn't have to wait for Takeshi Qihara today, so she turned around and left the school gate. After a moment of hesitation, she didn't choose to go home. went.

Originally, it was agreed to lend her a few books last night, and she would go there this afternoon, but it happened that Takeshi Qiyuan ran away by himself, so she just went directly and had to go home late.

Cut, don't take me if you don't take me, as if I am so rare!
I'm going to find new friends to play, you can eat at home by yourself!

…………

She ran to Sugata's house familiarly. As soon as they met, Mai Sugata showed a slightly shy smile and welcomed her warmly: "Sister Kiyomi, hello, thank you for coming to see me again."

Seeing that Liuli took the initiative to help her push the wheelchair, she hummed, "I'm here to play with you, and I brought you novels and comics."

"Thank you, Kiyomi-san." Mai Sugata said with a smile, "I will read it carefully."

"Pastime reading, just read casually, and you don't have to take it too seriously." Kiyoshi Ruri pushed Mai Sugata into the living room, looked around, and asked, "Have your mother and Asae-san returned?"

It's almost time to finish assisting, so if the elder is here, out of politeness, she has to go to say hello.

"I came back at noon." Mai Sugata pointed to the second floor of the small villa, "They haven't had a good rest in the past two days. Auntie Manzi has returned to her home, and my mother is resting. Kiyoshi sister came to my room to sit and sit. Bar!"

"Okay, what were you doing just now?" Qingjian Ruri pushed Mai Sugata to her room again, it was on the first floor, she knew the location, after all, she accompanied Takeshi Qihara around Sugata's house.

"I'm doing my homework."

"Are there any questions that you don't know?" Qingjian Liuli's spirit lifted. She is not the same now. Wu Qiyuan took her to review the middle school courses. If she goes back to the middle school now, she is sure to be admitted to the top ten in the class. , Maybe I can help Sugata Mai with homework.

Mai Sugata smiled and said: "Fortunately, the homework is not difficult, and it is almost finished."

"Then you do your homework first, and we'll chat after you finish it." Qingjian Liuli felt that she could also do her homework by the way, anyway, she had to do it sooner or later, so she wrote more here, just in time to go home and have time to quarrel with Wu Qiyuan .

"Okay, see you sister."

The two of them entered Mai Sugata's room while they were talking. Mai Sugata continued to do her homework, and Kiyomi Ruri was not in a hurry to open her schoolbag. She looked at her homework first—it was a math paper, indeed. I'm almost done writing, and I've come to the additional questions at the back, that is, the ones that get bonus points for doing it right, and don't lose points for doing it wrong.

It might be difficult, so she couldn't help but wanted to help, and read the question silently: "A bag of fake silver coins is mixed in several bags of silver coins. On the surface, all the silver coins look the same, only the weight is slightly different. Now there is an electronic scale, May I ask how to find out that bag of fake silver coins when you only weigh it once?"

What kind of weird question is this?Do you want to bite to see the color?
It shouldn't be that simple, but what does this have to do with math?
Is it too difficult to do it for junior high school students?

Even my high school students can't!

Seeing that Ruri was concentrating on thinking, Mai Sugata had already tilted his head and thought about it, and wrote the answer casually, then without checking the paper, he folded it and put it aside.

She turned her head to chat with Qingjian Liuli, but she saw Qingjian Liuli's mouth slightly opened, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help asking in surprise, "Sister Qingjian, what's wrong?"

Seeing Liuli come back to her senses, Qing slightly hesitated and said, "Uh, the question about silver coins...have you seen it before?"

Sugata Mai asked strangely: "It seems not, what's the matter, sister Kiyoshi, is there any problem with that question?"

"You're so smart, Mai-chan." Qingjian Liuli couldn't help admiring, she finished it without even thinking about it, she was indeed very smart.

Mai Sugada was stunned for a moment, her fair face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "It's nothing, it's not as good as Qing Jian's sister, who is only a little older than me and is already helping the police with the case."

Qing Jian Liuli was also embarrassed: "I... I just follow... Well, do some auxiliary work."

Sugatian Mai didn't believe it, and said sincerely: "This is already very powerful, I want to be such an excellent girl like Kiyomi's sister in the future."

Seeing that Liuli's face was getting redder, and the corners of her mouth curled up and down, she hummed and said, "It's not that bad anymore, Maijiang will definitely be better than me in the future."

The hard work was not in vain, and I was not in vain to suffer from the cowardice of the dog. I accidentally became the object of the younger generation's admiration. I am really... so happy.
