I'm Not a Detective

Chapter 142 X is not X

After leaving Matsugaki Joji's room, Qingmi Ruri thought carefully for a while. He felt that judging from the conversation just now, Matsugaki Joji, the inviter, was not suspicious, but Akira Kosaka was more suspicious. He immediately asked: "What's next? Go find Kosaka-san?"

This person is very suspicious. When we meet an old classmate who we haven't seen for many years, he won't even say anything. If there is a problem, there is definitely a problem!

Takeshi Nanahara didn't care, he wanted to see the rest of the people anyway, so he immediately raised his hand, and Qingjian Liuli immediately helped him to find Akira Kosaka.

Well, the style is very high, just like the old Buddha.

Akira Kosaka didn't care much about the police arranging for a blind man and JK to come for questioning, and continued to drink his boring wine. Takeshi Nanahara was in a hurry, so he didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the point: "How was the relationship between Kosaka-san and Oguri-san when they were in college? "

"It's terrible." Akira Kosaka said bluntly, "That bastard Oguri...forget it, he's dead. Oguri and I don't get along with each other. We didn't like each other when we were in school."

Sure enough, there was a problem. Qingjian Liuli immediately asked: "What is the specific reason?"

Akira Kosaka took a sip of wine and said calmly: "There are many specific reasons. For example, not long after school started, he thought I cheated in the chess and card game and reported me."

Takeshi Nanabahara laughed dumbly: "So, did you cheat?"

Akira Kosaka said indifferently: "I did cheat, but so what. In an entertainment competition held by a club, everyone was just joking, but he was the only one who was serious. And what does this have to do with the case? Don't talk about that. It had no impact on me, but it had some impact at the time. Would it be more than ten years before I killed him?"

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and asked with a smile: "Well, he is more accepting of death, and you are more casual and free. I can understand that the relationship is not good. Did you have any conflicts after that?"

"Four years is a long time, and there were several quarrels afterwards." Akira Kosaka said unhappily, "For example, once I was in a discussion group with him, and when I turned in my homework, he crossed out my name because he felt I didn’t contribute to the group discussion, so my name shouldn’t be counted, so I didn’t even get credit for that elective course.”

Takeshi Nanahara thought for a while and asked: "Everyone knows that you two have a bad relationship?"

Akira Kosaka said lightly: "Almost, but I never cared about him. If you insist on thinking that I am suspicious because of this kind of thing, then I can tell you that among the people who came this time, Chidao, Qingqiu, Sazhi and Ohashi have both quarreled with him, it’s not just that Oguri guy doesn’t get along with me.”

Qingjian Ruri wrote down these names in a small notebook, with curiosity on her face. She felt that college was different from what she thought. It seemed that the relationship in their high school class was not as harmonious as in their high school class, but more like kindergarten.

Takeshi Nanahara no longer cared about the bad relationship between the two of them, and asked again: "Who does Oguri-san have a better relationship with?"

Akira Kosaka said directly: "I don't know, I rarely talk to him."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and asked: "Let's talk about what happened last night. Did you hear anything before the incident?"

"Last night?" Akira Kosaka frowned and recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything at all. I rode in the car and played around during the day, and drank together at night. I felt very sleepy after I returned to the room, so I went to bed early. Yes, and sleeping soundly."

"Are you sleeping soundly too?" Takeshi Nanabaru pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "What happened after you were awakened?"

Akira Kosaka thought carefully about it again and said hesitantly: "It was a bit chaotic at the time. The women didn't seem to come out. They were probably timid or afraid to come out without makeup to meet people. The men seemed to have come out to check the situation. Baosheng, Chijima and Sazhi were still there. We went in together to check on Xiaoli’s condition, and then we were asked by the hotel general to leave, so we came back together.”

"After you came back, did you discuss anything?"

Akira Kosaka shook his head and said, "Before we had time, the waitress kept urging everyone to go back to their respective rooms, saying that it was the police's request. Only people from the hotel could move outside at that time."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded, took out the photo and showed it to him, and asked, "What do you think of this photo, Kosaka-san?"

"X?" Akira Kosaka glanced at the photo, shook his head and said, "I've thought about it carefully, no one's last name can be linked to X."

Qingjian Liuli immediately asked: "What about the English name or nickname?"

Akira Kosaka thought for a moment and continued to shake his head: "It's the same, I can't think of whom it refers to."

Takeshi Nanahara put away the photo, stood up and said with a smile: "Then let's leave it like this for the time being. Kosaka-san rests first. I'll come back to you if necessary."

Akira Kosaka nodded indifferently and continued to sit there and drink in boredom without seeing them off.

…………

After leaving the house, Qingmi Ruri also felt that it was impossible to kill someone just because of a conflict at school, and Akira Kosaka's attitude was a bit impatient, and he didn't have many good things to say about Oguri Yinchuan, but this made him appear to have no guilt, not too much. Like a murderer.

Neither the person who invited the victim nor the person who annoyed the victim the most seemed like the murderer. She hesitated and asked Takeshi Nanahara: "Who should we see next?"

"Baosheng couple!"

Qing Jian Liuli had no objection and immediately helped Takeshi Nanahara to go. Baosheng and his wife were having lunch, but after Takeshi Nanahara explained his purpose, he said it didn't matter and they were willing to actively cooperate.

Bao Shenghang is a very handsome middle-aged man. He is still so handsome in his mid-thirties. I think he was even more handsome when he was younger. He speaks in a gentle and elegant manner and is very lovable. He is mainly responsible for answering the couple's questions, while his wife Bao Sheng Tomomi is responsible for answering questions. She was a middle-aged woman who looked very quiet. She smiled lightly and poured tea beside her.

Takeshi Nanahara first asked them about last night's situation, which was similar to what Matsugaki and Kosaka described. They also slept very hard. After being awakened by the screams of the hotel maid, Tomomi Takarazuki stayed in the room. He went out to check the situation, but was persuaded to come back by the hotel general soon after, and then he began to be forced to "isolate" until now.

The only difference is that Baoshenghang entered Oguri Yinchuan's room, checked with the other two people to see if he was dead, and was ready to call the police immediately after discovering that he had been killed. However, the hotel took the lead and started chasing people away after calling the police.

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and started asking about things in college again. He looked at Baoshenghang and said with a smile, "Did Baosheng-san and Oguri-san have a good relationship in college?"

Baoshenghang smiled heartily: "I have a good relationship with everyone, including Oguri-kun of course."

Takeshi Nanahara asked again: "Are you a close friend?"

Bao Shenghang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It's rare to have close friends, and the relationship is not that good."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded, then turned to Tomomi Hosei, "What about Ms. Tomomi?"

Tomomi Baosheng smiled and said, "Oguri-san and I have a normal relationship as classmates."

"Don't we deal with you much?" Takeshi Nanawara said with a smile, "But I heard Matsugaki-san say that when you had lunch together, Oguri-kun seemed to be more concerned about your situation."

Tomomi Bao Sheng immediately turned to Bao Shenghang and asked: "Is there any?"

Baoshenghang thought for a while and said with a smile: "I asked you a few questions, but I think it was because he was impatient with our questions and wanted to change the topic."

"Is that so?" Takeshi Nanahara nodded, looked at the two of them again and asked curiously, "Did you two date each other when you were in college?"

Baoshenghang smiled and shook his head and said: "No, it took a few years after graduation before we started to have a good impression of each other and slowly came together." After that, he also looked at Takeshi Qihara and Ruri Qingmi, and joked, "No You are so lucky to be together so early."

For people like Takeshi Nanahara, this kind of joke is no different from farts, but Qingjian Liuli felt embarrassed and quickly explained: "Baosheng-san, you misunderstood, we... are just friends."

Baoshenghang smiled and said: "Sorry, Tomomi and I were friends in college, and we dated and got married later."

Takeshi Nanabahara also seemed to be interested in the gossip and asked: "What about when you were in college? How was your relationship like in college?"

"This!" Baoshenghang glanced at Baosheng Tomomi lovingly and said with a smile, "I have a more out-of-the-box personality and love to socialize. She has a quieter personality and doesn't like to talk much. We were just friends in college."

Takeshi Nanabaru said thoughtfully: "In other words, when Ms. Tomomi was in college, she was the same person as Oguri-san?"

Tomomi Baosheng smiled and said: "It's probably about the same, but people of the same type may not be close friends, right?"

"That's right." Takeshi Nanahara took out the photo and asked with a smile, "Then please take a look at this photo. What can you think of?"

Baoshenghang had seen it last night, and immediately asked with concern: "This X, I have thought about it before, but I have never had a clue. Does the police have any clues?"

This was the first time I met Tomomi Hosei. When she encountered screams in the middle of the night, the woman basically didn't leave the room. She took a closer look before shaking her head and saying, "I can't think of anything that could be related to this X."

Qingjian Liuli sighed softly, feeling that it was difficult to find any clues, but Takeshi Nanahara was not disappointed, stood up and said with a smile: "Well, if you two can think of anything, please inform the police immediately."

Mr. and Mrs. Baosheng stood up to see each other off and said cooperatively, "No problem, we will think about it again."

…………

"The case seems to have nothing to do with them." Qingmi Ruri had a good impression of the loving couple and felt that they didn't look like murderers. She asked Nanabahara Takeshi, "Are you going to Ms. Bintian's place next?"

This is the only old classmate who first met Oguri Yinchuan.

"Yes, let's go!" Takeshi Nanabahara was thinking, and let Qingmi Ruri lead him to Binda Kanae's room. He was very satisfied with Qingmi Ruri's attitude of serving him seriously at present - if this continues, next month he will I can ride Qingjian Liuli out.

Kanae Hinata is also autistic in the room at the moment. She looks ordinary, with some small freckles on her fair face, which can be seen even if she uses makeup to cover them up. However, she has a good temperament and is gentle, and her personality should be very docile.

After Takeshi Nanahara expressed her intention to come, she also cooperated with the inquiry honestly. Her description of how she met Oguri Yinchuan was consistent with others. She also said that she slept deeply last night and didn't hear anything. After being awakened, she was in the room. He stayed in the room and did not check on Oguri Yinchuan.

Overall, there is nothing fishy about what she said.

"Are you sleeping deeply too?" Takeshi Nanahara touched his chin and said something after listening patiently, but did not dwell on the topic and asked with a smile, "Isn't the relationship between Ms. Bintian and Oguri-san bad?"

Kanae Binda nodded first and then shook her head slightly: "The relationship cannot be said to be bad, but the relationship cannot be said to be good."

Takeshi Nanahara immediately asked with concern: "Have you had any conflicts?"

Binda Kanae shook her head again: "No."

Takeshi Nanabaru said strangely: "The old classmate I haven't seen for more than ten years, even if the relationship is average, why don't you care about a few words when we meet? I heard Matsugaki-san said that you didn't even say much at that time."

Binda Kanae hesitated and whispered: "I don't like his character very much."

"Then what kind of character do you like, the kind of Kousaka-san?" Takezara Nanahara was nostalgic. He lowered his head and came closer to her and said, "Are you afraid of arousing Kousaka-san's resentment? After all, you all know that they used to hate each other, so why don't you just Just shut up and stop talking?"

Binda Kanae was stunned, and her expression became colder: "Is this related to the case?"

Takeshi Nanabaru smiled dumbly and said: "It's not relevant. Judging from the composition of your five-person group and your performance at lunch, I have a little doubt that you and Kosaka-san have a better relationship, so I just ask."

Kanae Binda lowered her eyelids and whispered: "Kousaka-kun has a cold face and a warm heart. He has helped me a lot. He is actually a good person. Our relationship... is okay."

"This is very meaningful!" Takeshi Nanahara sighed and took out the photo to show her, "But let's not dwell on this small detail for now. Ms. Bintian, look at this photo. Do you have any thoughts about it?"

Kanae Binda took a closer look at the photo and hesitated: "A cross? I don't have any ideas."

Takeshi Nanahara breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Finally someone can name the symbol correctly. I thought it would be in vain. Why does Ms. Bintian think this is a cross?"

Hinata Kanae was stunned and said hesitantly: "Because this is just a cross, everyone knows it."

Qing Jian Liuli couldn't help it anymore and said strangely: "This is obviously an X! Oguri-san is about to die, why did he make a cross?"

Hinada Kanae reacted, and her face looked a little ugly for a moment, while Takeshi Nanahara smiled at Qingmi Ruri: "You idiot, this is just a cross. Take a closer look."

Qingjian Liuli looked at the photo carefully and was still confused: "It's just an X. Although it looks similar to a cross, it's completely inexplicable to draw a cross before death."

Takeshi Nanabaru said helplessly: "You're really stupid. Look carefully at the order of the strokes, and then think about how you write this letter and this symbol."

Qingjian Liuli immediately tried to write: "I write X, starting from the upper left corner first, and then..."

She made a few gestures and realized that the X and the cross looked similar, but the order of the strokes was reversed. One starts from the upper left corner, and the other starts from the upper right corner. If you look carefully at the middle position where the two bloodstains intersect, you will see that the one starting from the right is diagonally below. It is a cross.

At least it can't be X. No one writes X from the upper right corner. That kind of freak is extremely rare and is outside the scope of common sense.

She understood with gestures, but she was even more confused and said in disbelief: "This is really a cross. What does Oguri-san want to say? Is it forbidden to pass next to his body?"

"I didn't think of it either. Let's ask the person who wrote the cross." Takeshi Nanahara turned to Binda Kanae and said politely, "Ms. Bintian, everyone except me thought this was an X before. Only You can tell at a glance that this is a cross. Could it be that you wrote the cross?"
