i'm not a detective

Chapter 60 What a decent family
It was past eight o'clock in the evening, Qingjian Liuli pouted out of Qiyuan's house, was blown by a small wind, looked at the dim street lights around, and the shadows flickering among the shaking trees, and then thought about the "ghost story" I heard just now ", subconsciously felt hairy, and fled back to his home in a hurry.

She habitually yelled "I'm back" at the door, took off her round-toed leather shoes, and was about to go back to her room.

Seeing that Xiangzi was packing up in the living room, Qing stopped her and asked, "Did you eat at Qiyuan-kun again?"

Qingjian Liuli was still wondering if there were any "unclean things" in the world, so she stood at the stairs and said casually, "Yes, Mom, what's wrong?"

Qing Jian Xiangzi was speechless: "What are you talking about, how many times have you had dinner at his house? I haven't seen you at dinner time for more than a week."

Qing Jian Liuli was stunned for a while, trying to find a reason, and muttered: "Didn't you ask me to take care of him? So I cook for him every day, and eat together by the way."

Qingjian Xiangzi said angrily: "It's true that I asked you to take care of him, and I didn't let you eat at his house all the time!"

Seeing that Liuli was unhappy, Qing said: "It's fine if you don't want to, then I won't take care of him in the future, so it's okay to come back for dinner?"

"Forget it, forget it, it's right across the door anyway, you can eat where you like, but he lives alone, you have to be careful not to burden him." Qingjian Xiangzi actually doesn't object to her daughter's association with Qiyuan Takeshi. It doesn't matter, it is a common phenomenon for Japanese college students to communicate, and the success rate is quite good. Parents and schools rarely interfere forcibly, and it is just regarded as a normal experience in life.

At present, the legal age for Japanese women to marry is still 16 years old. Blind dates and marriages are very common after high school graduation. Now strict precautions are taken to prevent daughters from contacting boys.

Qingjian Xiangzi just reminded: "Your father and friend sent some lamb legs over, you can take two over tomorrow, I will give you the recipe, you try to make it, don't just eat other people's, you can't make friends like this, Do you understand?"

Qingjian Liuli has no objection, her father has a lot of friends, and often gives him some messy things, it's better to let Qiyuanwu cook it than to let his mother ruin it.

She said directly: "Got it, is there anything else, mom, I'm going to do my homework now."

"Go, go!" Qingjian Xiangzi didn't want to preach too much to her adolescent daughter, lest the child grow up to become an enemy. Anyway, Takeshi Qiyuan lives in the opposite door, and he looks very decent. With her watching, nothing big will happen. .

Qing saw that Liuli hurried upstairs, but after taking two steps, she came back and asked curiously, "Mom, what are you doing packing? Are you going out for a long trip?"

"It's not me, it's your father. The Sapporo Department of Science, Culture and Education seems to have asked him to reorganize some books. It takes four or five hours a day to go back and forth. It's too troublesome, so he plans to live in Sapporo for a while." Qingjian Xiangzi was very happy. Indifferently said, "Don't worry about anything, I've bought accident insurance for him."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Qing Jian Liuli didn't care anymore, anyway, when she went to school in the morning, her father usually didn't wake up, and she went to bed at night before her father came back drunk, sometimes he couldn't have a face-to-face once a week, and went to Sapporo It's okay to stay for a while.

She didn't care about such nosy things at home, she went upstairs to take a bath and changed her clothes, she sat down at the desk with a big ball on her hair and brushed like flying, quickly finished her homework, put it back in her schoolbag regardless of whether it was right or not, and then took out "The World" The Detective Collection of Miss Liulimoss, the First Beautiful Detective, I read it from the beginning.

The flower pot burial case, the ten-yen coin case, the blacked-out town district referendum case, and the famous painting forgery case, a total of four cases are complete, and they are all based on reasoning. , does not involve any supernatural elements at all, an absolute epic masterpiece.

When she turned to the end of the famous painting forgery case, she looked at Takeshi Qiyuan who had just fallen into the sewer and fell into a big split and was forced to lean on crutches. She stood in the mud. At that time, they reconciled and we became friends again, but of course I was still very upset, so I arranged this play for him. Next time I dare to cheat her, she will let Qiyuan Watson sit in a wheelchair.

She looked at the miserable Qiyuan Watson on crutches, with a treacherous smile on her face, but she quickly picked up the pen and continued to write, completing the forgery case of the famous painting, so that Miss Liulimoss also got a famous painting, Qiyuan Huasheng, who is as stupid as a dog, as lazy as a pig, loves money as his life, has a bad personality and is on crutches, can't tell the truth from the fake. Mariko Bichuan changed her name and moved to Tokyo to record the strange incident told by her, and she fell into deep thought when she saw it.

Is this a case?

It sounds a bit haunted, but it is related to a murder case, but it seems unlikely that it is related to a murder case. The old lady is [-] kilometers away from the scene of the crime. How does this have something to do with it?
Because of some inconspicuous little object?
Or is it purely a coincidence?
Go to Bi Chuan's house tomorrow and make sure to observe carefully, and try to find something this time.

If you find something, you must say it out loud, and you can't just listen to that guy's nagging, and you have to teach him a lesson.

But what if it's really a supernatural event...

Seeing that Liuli couldn't sit still, Qing subconsciously turned her head to look behind her, suddenly felt that the room was so quiet, she quickly stood up and looked through the bookcase, intending to find out if there was anything to say about folk customs.

…………

The time soon arrived in the afternoon of the next day, and Qingjian Liuli put on her mountaineering bag again, and stood in the shoe cabinet waiting for Takeshi Qiyuan, and Takeshi Qiyuan was still the same, and it took four or five minutes to sway down, but this time he felt Chin, seems to be thinking about something.

Qing Jian Liuli took his book bag and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Qi Yuanwu murmured while changing his shoes: "Just now, there were two girls who kept talking about friendship next to me, which is not normal."

Qingjian Liuli said strangely: "Sorority is very common, girls tell me what's wrong."

Takeshi Qiyuan still hasn't let down his vigilance: "No, this is the fourth time this week. Eleven girls in the class have talked about how fun it is to join a fellowship near me. I always feel that someone is going to plot against me, but I haven't thought about it yet. I understand what can be plotted against me, I basically don’t talk to girls in class, I always keep them at a respectful distance, Li’s character design is also a nerd, how could he find me?”

Qing saw that Liuli was inexplicably happy, hummed twice, and said directly: "You are so sensitive, just ask them directly, it's not a big deal, and you have to think so much..."

Qiyuan Wu squinted at her: "You fool, they are obviously waiting for me to talk, and want to abduct me to join the sorority party. Isn't it self-inflicted if I go to talk to you? I don't want to be stained with rotten peach blossoms."

Seeing that Liuli was being scolded, Qing was a little unhappy again, and didn't want to deal with his insanity anymore, so she said disdainfully: "It's okay, it's just that you are a heartthrob, as if others value you, change your shoes quickly, Miss Bichuan may It's already waiting for us."

"That's right, do your homework first, and we'll talk about it later." After changing his shoes, Qiyuanwu said directly, "Let's go, go to Bichuan's house to see."

Qing saw Liuli following him, looked at him left and right, and asked with concern: "Should we just go directly, don't we need to prepare anything?"

Qiyuan Wu gave her a strange look: "Are you ready to hear this?"

Qingjian Liuli patted the side of the mountaineering bag, and whispered: "I brought a short wooden stick."

"Are you going to stick a ghost?"

"Just in case, if it is really a supernatural event, and you are a fake psychic, you must be the first to escape. I must prepare something for self-defense!" Qingjian Liuli touched the mountaineering bag with her backhand, as if feeling safe Indeed +2, muttering, "I checked the book last night, the book said that human blood has spirituality, and it can hit ghosts when you smear it on a wooden stick."

"Whatever you want, stay away from me when the bloodletting is done, don't splash me all over." Qiyuan Wu didn't care what she was going to do, and tapped his forehead, "Anyway, I just need to carry my head, with it, everything is not a problem .”

Qing Jian Liuli tilted her head and curled her lips, deciding that if something strange happened, she would never cover him to escape, and see what he would do then.

The two of them arrived outside the school gate after chatting and arguing. As expected, Mariko Bichuan was already waiting. Seeing them coming, she hurriedly invited them to get in the car, and after a few words of politeness, she started the car and drove to her home.

Qing Jian Liuli was still sitting in the co-pilot, looked at her and asked with concern: "How were you doing last night, Miss Bichuan."

"You call me sister, I'll call you Liuli, let's not say honorifics." Mariko Bichuan is probably a superficial bone spirit, but her personality is not strong at all, and said while driving, "Last night was fine, nothing happened Things, my grandmother didn't have any more nightmares, but she still hasn't had a good rest, after all, something like this happened, it's inevitable to worry."

"It's good that nothing happened, and it will be fine soon." Seeing that the situation didn't get worse, Qing saw that Liuli had put some snacks on, and asked again, "Where's Grandma Bichuan?"

"She is not in good spirits. I was afraid that she would be tired, so I temporarily placed her at my aunt's house. I will send you to see the house first, and then I will pick her up." My grandma did not have any more nightmares last night, Bichuan Mariko She breathed a sigh of relief, but began to worry about her ancestral house again, and she couldn't bear it if the ancestral house was haunted.

Takeshi Qiyuan listened for a while in the back seat, and asked with a smile: "Miss Bichuan, has your grandmother bought or picked up anything recently?"

Mariko Bichuan had thought of this a long time ago, verified it before, and said directly: "I haven't picked up things, but I have bought things. There is a flea market near our house. My grandmother often goes shopping when she is free, and she will buy some small things. The thing is nostalgic, nothing has happened to it, and I have checked it before, it is very normal, and there is no problem, Qiyuan can take a look at it later, it is all in her room."

Takeshi Qiyuan smiled and nodded, didn't say anything more, and there was nothing to say now, after all, he had to go to the scene to collect information before making a judgment.

Soon the three of them rushed to an Omachi district near the city center in Hirano, and stopped in front of a small house that looked old at first glance. It was double-storey and had no yard. It was probably a longhouse type built in batches in the early Showa era. small apartment.

Mariko Bichuan opened the door and said, "Qiyuan-san, Liuli, you can sit and watch whatever you want. I'll pick up my grandmother and I'll be back soon."

With the guarantee of a senior police officer, Nakano Eri, she was very relieved. She left Qiyuan Takeshi and Qingjian Liuli at home and drove away. Bichuan's house looked old and small from the outside, but the interior decoration was very trendy and energetic.

There are potted green plants at the entrance, with a variety of varieties, which is very layered but harmonious and unified. It can be seen that there is no lack of effort in normal times.The main color of the room is log color, with wooden floors. It looks clean and tidy at first glance, giving people a sense of luxury and healing.The space is also well planned. Each area has no clear boundaries but is functionally distinct, which is very comfortable for the eyes.

To put it simply, this house has been carefully decorated by the owner, and the atmosphere is warm. It is suitable for shooting small fresh movies. It is not like a haunted house at all, and it does not feel eerie at all.

Qiyuan Wu walked around and browsed casually, Qingjian Liuli followed closely behind his buttocks, she would look at whatever he looked at, and looked around vigilantly from time to time, for fear of something suddenly popping out.

The first floor is the public area, and I found nothing after walking all the way. Takeshi Qihara went up the zigzag stairs with handrails to the second floor. First, he went to see Mariko Bichuan's room. It's normal, [-]% she will go out to rent a room last night, and take away some daily clothes after a few days.

He turned around briefly, and opened the closet to look at Bichuan Mariko's clothes, but accidentally saw some underwear, and then went to the old lady's room amidst Qingjian Liuli's protests, it seemed that they lived here The grandparent and grandson lived on the second floor at one end, with the bathroom and toilet in the middle. He took a look at them along the way, but couldn't find anything wrong.

The old lady's room is quite retro, with a standing desk lamp, a dual-card recorder, an old-fashioned board bed, a floor-standing radio, a vertical electric fan, and a mahogany rocking chair.

In addition to these large pieces of furniture and electrical appliances, this room also has a lot of small bits and pieces. It is probably nostalgic when she is in her 70s. The old lady has a large collection of movie posters and movie magazines from the 70s and [-]s. There is also a cabinet dedicated to holding song tapes. They are all scattered, so I probably flip through and listen to them from time to time.

These are probably the things she buys when she goes to the flea market every day, looking for second-hand goods from the past, to recall her youth, or if she can’t enjoy the current songs and movies, she still prefers old movies and old songs.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some second-hand goods, such as porcelain dolls that look very old at first glance, cups with the imprint of the times, ornaments, and the like.

Takeshi Qiyuan looked over one by one, and occasionally picked up one to carefully identify it, but after reading it, he didn't find anything special, so he pressed the play button of the bulky dual-card recorder, and a soft voice sounded in the room immediately. Music, he listened for a moment, smiling.

Qing Jian Liuli thought he had discovered something, so he stretched out his ears to listen carefully, only to find that it was a male singer, singing like a folk song, the rhythm was very slow and lyrical, nothing else.

She asked curiously, "What song is this?"

Takeshi Qihara smiled and said: "The popular folk songs of the 70s and [-]s, this song was sung by Takuro Yoshida, a representative of the folk songs of the life and new schools at that time. He is also known as the father of Japanese folk songs. It is a very old song."

Qing Jian Liuli listened carefully for a while, and felt that it was not as exciting as rock and roll, and asked curiously: "You laughed just now, is there something wrong with this song?"

Takeshi Qiyuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't hear anything wrong."

"Then what are you laughing at?" Qing Jian Liuli was even more surprised.

Qiyuan Wu gave her a look of contempt: "It's not normal to smile when you hear a beautiful song. If I don't smile, will I cry?"

Qing Jian Liuli was irritated by his eyes like looking at vulgar people, and said loudly unhappily: "We are here to 'exorcise demons', not for you to listen to songs, hurry up and work!"

Takeshi Qihara nodded, turned off the tape recorder, and went to look at those old posters and old movie magazines from 40 to [-] years ago, and he was fascinated by them quickly.

Qing Jian Liuli hurriedly moved her head to watch it with him again, and after a while she wondered, "Why did you watch it for so long, is it important?"

Qiyuan Wu said casually: "It's very important, I haven't read this magazine."

Seeing the expression on Liuli's little face gradually disappearing, Qing wanted to punch him to death as an idle bastard, but Qiyuan Wu had a keen sense of crisis, and immediately noticed a faint murderous look around him, casually put the magazine aside, and began to concentrate on his work, I glanced at all the posters, magazines, books, and tapes in the room, then pondered for a moment, turned around the room again, bent down and lowered my head, not even letting go of the bed, and finally stood there touching my chin and fell into deep thought , don't move anymore.

Seeing that Liuli also found nothing, Qing looked up at him and waited for a while, then carefully asked: "Have you found the problem?"

Qiyuan Wu opened his eyes and said: "The situation is not good, such a decent family, there is nothing wrong with it, and there are not many family conflicts."

Qing Jian Liuli was surprised and said, "No problem?"

Qi Yuanwu nodded slowly: "Yes, but it shouldn't be. Such a family shouldn't have any psychological problems. How can someone have nightmares continuously?"

Qing Jian Liuli also felt a little confused, and hesitated: "Is it really related to the murder case twenty kilometers away? Or is there really... is there really something unclean?"

Qiyuan Wu turned his head and scanned the room again, and said softly: "I don't know for now, but one thing is for sure, the money received is less, this matter is more troublesome than imagined."
