i'm not a detective

Chapter 23 Don't even try to sleep in today!
Qing Jian Liuli was aggrieved after dinner, and was fined to clean up the table, wash the dishes, and wipe the floor. After doing a lot of housework, she was relieved, and went back to her room depressed to start doing her homework——Private Yuying colleges are pursuing the rate of admission Prestigious schools are very strict about learning and grades, and it is better to do homework early.

But just now she suffered from a feeling of uselessness, and was so aggrieved that she took out her homework and couldn't write after two lines, and her eyes couldn't help but glanced at her hardcover notebook again.

The case is still unclear, so I can't calm down. I don't seem to be in a hurry with the homework. Anyway, there are still two days left, so it's not too late to write tomorrow!
She opened "The World's No. [-] Beautiful Girl Detective Ms. Liuli Mosi's Detective Collection" again, and then thought about the previous questions.

What happened to the weird scene?

What did the murderer take from the chamber?
She bit her pen and thought hard for a long time. She couldn't explain the first question, but the second question...

She began to try to recall the scene in the "secret room" at that time, trying to find some clues.

The "secret room" was empty, and there was only the victim's body inside. The victim died terribly, covered in blood, and was kneeling inside, with most of the back of his neck cut off, and his head hanging down to his chest...

Wait, there seems to be a problem!

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized something was wrong. The pose didn't seem to have been thrown in casually, but it seemed to have been put out on purpose!

Why did the murderer do that when he knew he had been discovered by passers-by and the police might come to check at any time?If it's just to hide the corpse, shouldn't it just be thrown in there?Or kill the victim inside and just turn around and leave?

Why would he waste that time when he was pressed for time, what special significance did that gesture have?
Qing Jian Liuli suddenly cheered up, feeling that he had finally found the most critical "mystery" of the whole case, as long as he could solve this "mystery", maybe he would be able to find the real culprit.

So what does that gesture say?
By the way, I seem to have seen that pose somewhere...

After thinking hard for a while, she got up and rushed to her father's study room and began to rummage. She quickly found a copy of "The Legend of the Samurai of the Western Kingdom", and started to turn the pages. I switched to "Mogami Family Chronicle" and started flipping through it again, but I still couldn't find it.

She frowned and pondered for a while, then jumped up and rushed back to her room. She rummaged through the bookshelf and found a lot of novels and comics, and murmured: "Not this one, nor this one..."

When the room looked like twenty people had just fought, she finally found a light novel "The 17-year-old High School Samurai" and found the illustrations in her impression.

Sure enough, it can't be said to be similar to the posture of the victim's body, it can only be said to be exactly the same!
A major breakthrough has been made in the case, and her excited eyes are shining, but if she wants to continue to reason, it is impossible to rely on imagination alone. Field investigation and inquiry are needed, and information is needed to support it. The basis of reasoning and deduction is information collection. , it is impossible to speak of reasoning without sufficiently accurate information.

Maybe I should go around Tominaga's house tomorrow and ask someone?But I'm not a policeman, I don't have the qualifications, I might not cooperate...

Qing Jian Liuli hesitated for a moment, and wanted to discuss it with Qiyuan Wu. After all, he seemed to have a good idea, and he might be able to provide good advice. Moreover, she also wanted to tell him her big discovery and see his shocked expression. .

She turned around and lay down on the astronomical telescope to look at Qiyuan's house, only to find that the lights on the first floor were turned off, but there seemed to be some light on the second floor.

Alas, it's past nine o'clock, it seems inappropriate to knock on the door now, I can only wait until tomorrow.

But it doesn't matter tomorrow, just get some sleep!

…………

The next day, Saturday, is still a "big weekend" once a month.

For four weeks a month, Japanese colleges and universities are closed all day on Sunday, half a day off on three Saturdays, and all day on one Saturday, so that there is a weekend every month, which is convenient for college clubs to travel far to participate in various competitions.

For example, the most famous IH competition in Japanese universities, the preliminaries are basically completed on this "weekend", and then the main competition will be held in the summer vacation in August.

Qing sees that Liuli doesn't need to take part in the competition, her club hasn't appeared yet, and even if she does, she doesn't have a competition. Usually, she probably sleeps until her mother threatens to beat her with a spatula, but today she got up early and stared at Qiyuan Look at home, ready to rush over if there is any movement.

But she waited for more than half an hour, and there was no response from the other side. It seemed that Takeshi Qiyuan planned to sleep late today.

Her patience quickly ran out, and she complained that he was a lazy bastard, but she was very eager to tell him about her "big discovery" and wanted him to take her to find out the truth, so she rushed downstairs to drill after a little hesitation. Entering the kitchen, I randomly made two sandwiches and put them in a food box, then rushed to the opposite side of the street with my arms in my arms, thinking that she was going to blow up a bunker.

Well, she didn't want to be too urgent, and planned to use breakfast as a reason to wake Qiyuan Wu up.

She first rang the doorbell a few times at the gate of the courtyard, but there was no response. She simply entered the courtyard and knocked on the door again. After knocking like this for a while, there was still no response, so she couldn't help feeling strange.

Could it be that the kid is so diligent that he got up and went out for morning exercises before I got up?
You underestimated him!
She was hesitating whether to go back first, when the door was opened, Qiyuan Wu was wearing pure cotton checkered pajamas, a wool ball nightcap, barefoot, looking at her with a dark face, and said angrily: "What do you have?" thing?"

Seeing that Liuli didn't care about his bad attitude, she raised the food box and said with a sweet smile, "I've made too much breakfast. I thought you lived alone, so I'll give you some."

Qiyuan Wu stared at her for a moment, his expression softened slightly, but he took a look at the food box, sniffed it lightly, and his expression turned bad again, "Is this made of feet? It's the first time I've seen it. I don't want to eat such a miserable sandwich!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door. Last night he lay in his special "bed" and read a book until he went to bed after three o'clock. He only slept for more than three hours.

What is made of feet?
Seeing that Liuli was also annoyed, she pushed against the door and said loudly, "I came to bring you breakfast out of kindness!"

Qi Yuanwu couldn't close the door, stared at her and asked word by word: "You still haven't given up on what happened yesterday?"

Qing Jian Liuli's spirit lifted: "I have made a major discovery!"

"I don't want to know, I want to sleep!"

"It's really an important discovery!" Qingjian Liuli didn't care whether he was happy to hear it or not, and quickly said against the door, "Have you noticed that the posture of Tominaga-san's body is strange?"

"Are you trying to say that he was not simply killed, but was wronged?" Takeshi Qiyuan's attitude was still bad, "What's wrong? This is something the police should care about. You should focus on your studies as a high school student. You want to solve the case so that you can take the civil service exam in the future, instead of harassing an innocent sleep-deprived classmate now!"

Qing Jian didn't hear the second half of Liuli's words at all, and said in a daze for a while, "Did you see it?"

"So obviously, I'm not blind."

"You know about Jiecao, I mean you know about real Jiecao?"

Qi Yuanwu looked at her speechlessly: "You came knocking on my door after seven o'clock in the morning, making my temples twitch, just to discuss wrongdoing with me?"

"I don't believe you know, you must be fooled!" Qingjian Liuli also checked the books for a long time last night before she figured it out. Even she was misled by those messy TV dramas before, so she didn't believe that Wu Qiyuan could see through it at a glance.

"Will you go home after I finish?"

"You speak first!"

Takeshi Qihara was very sad, and he really regretted moving to Hirano. He really didn't expect the living environment here to be so bad.

He said with a look of pain: "Simply put, intervening is to assist the laparotomy to commit suicide. After the laparotomy cuts his abdomen to prove that he is not a 'black belly', he quickly cuts off his cervical spine to save him from the next huge pain."

Qing Jian Liuli's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to speak, but Qiyuan Wuyi stretched out her hand to stop her words, "Shut up, I know what you are going to say! What I said just now was just an intermediary in a separete apology, and there is another kind of sinner It is true that there is no need for a laparotomy certificate, and it is just a forced intervention of simple execution, such as Tominaga Yosuke.

The murderer cut off his cervical spine but not completely cut off his neck, causing his head to hang down to his chest by his muscles. This is the "head-holding posture" after the intervention. , means that the murderer is forcing him to kneel down to apologize, which means that the murderer thinks that he has committed a heinous crime! "

Many people have the misunderstanding that intervening is to cut off the head, but it is not the case. The real intervening is only to cut off the cervical spine at first, so that the laparotomy will be in a state of "holding the head" and no longer feel pain, which is not the same as beheading.

Japan is also a member of the Chinese cultural circle. It also believes that the integrity of the body is closely related to the state of the soul after death. It also believes that "death without a whole body" is an extremely severe punishment. In the past, those who chose the wrong person for caesarean section usually chose themselves How could his relatives and friends have the heart to separate his body and make him a headless ghost?
Therefore, the real intercession and beheading are completely different things.

Moreover, apology by caesarean section is a kind of ritual, in which caesarean section is to expose one's heart, to show one's pure soul (in ancient Japan, the soul was believed to be in the belly), to prove that one is not a "black-bellied" person, not sinister and cunning, and to cut off the cervical spine The "head-holding gesture" is "bow your head and apologize".

Before the Edo period, Jiecuo people needed swordsmanship masters to take on the role. If they accidentally cut off the cervical spine with a knife, the knife was stuck in it, causing the laparotomy to scream in pain, losing face, or directly killing them with too much force. If a person dies without a complete body and cannot make a "decent and perfect apology", then it is probably the turn of the wrong person to apologize by cutting open his stomach.

Of course, it is not completely made up that Jie Mi cut off his head directly in the TV series.

In the middle and late Edo period, under years of peace, it would be difficult to find a master of swordsmanship, so you simply beheaded directly, and even developed a simplified procedure such as "fan cutting"-the laparotomer uses a fan to cut the body. Make a gesture on the belly, cut off the head with a knife, and roll around, dying a painful death.

For example, the famous Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature many times, captured the prime minister’s mansion and launched a rebellion. It became a blood gourd, and it was another person who directly chopped off his head.

It is speculated that Yukio Mishima should have wanted to complete the ancient method of caesarean section. After his death, he tied the bandage of "Seven Lives to Serve the Country" on his head, knelt and confessed his warm heart and pure soul, bowed his head and apologized to show that he had made a big mistake But it was just serving the country wholeheartedly, and it was definitely not selfish. In the end, he didn't choose the right person, resulting in an unsightly scene.

Seeing that Wu Qiyuan knew so clearly, Qingjian Liuli was disappointed, and murmured: "So you really know..."

As a Japanese, of course she knew about the so-called "samurai tradition" of "reproaching the seppuku" but never paid attention to the specific details. His belly was cut, so he didn't know whether he was "forced to apologize for his mistakes", or he remembered an illustration he had seen after he came back, and then looked through the book to find out the information.

It's all because of the TV dramas acting indiscriminately, no matter what the age, cutting off the head after caesarean section is simply killing people!

Takeshi Qiyuan didn't want to talk to her anymore, and started to close the door again, "Okay, I've answered all your questions, you should go."

Seeing that Liuli came back to her senses, she pressed against the door again, and said urgently: "But we now know that the murderer is not just seeking money, but has a deep hatred with Fu Yongsang. This is a very important direction of investigation, and we can't ignore it."

"You can call the police."

"Then what if the police can't solve the case?" Compared with the police, Qingjian Liuli now has more confidence in Qiyuan Wu.

"Then you can complain to them and call them a group of idiots who only get paid."

Qiyuanwu tried his best to close the door, and finally succeeded. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned around to go back to sleep on his special bed, but within two steps, the door behind him started to slam again.

He stopped and stood in a daze for a moment, only to feel his temples beating more joyously, his head was like a big balloon being forcibly inflated, which might burst at any moment, he sighed deeply, turned around and opened the door again, helplessly Asked: "What do you want?"

Qing Jian Liuli said stubbornly: "Maybe I'm being troublesome, but you have things that I don't have... No, you and I both have talents. We will definitely find something that the police can't find, and then maybe the truth will be revealed." Dabai, let an innocent person not die unjustly—someone died now, an innocent person died, this is not a small matter, if you have the ability, you must do something!"

As she talked, her eyes turned a little red for no apparent reason. She sniffed and said, "My mother said that one must do the right thing. You asked me to be your assistant yesterday. The agreement is not over yet. Now I have to fulfill it." The supervisory duty of the assistant, let you do the right thing, you have charged me money, you must fulfill the agreement!
You must go today, otherwise as long as I am here, you will not want to sleep in today! "
