I'm Not a Detective

Qingjian Ruri returned home angrily, thinking about Takeshi Nanahara as he finished his homework, and then took out "The World's Most Beautiful Detective Ruri Moss Detective Collection" to write down today's case, and then he fell on his back. On the bed, I hugged the panda doll and thought about what today's case was about.

How was Yukio Sugada poisoned to death? Nothing around him is poisonous!

Why did Kumi Kikuma come back from the dead? He should have died five and a half years ago!

She thought about it for a while and still had no clue. She could only wait for the results from Takeshi Nanahara, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. She just snorted coldly from time to time in her sleep and muttered "It's too late to beg me now", but she didn't I know what kind of dream I had.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, she was woken up by the alarm clock, and went to do her morning exercises in a daze. After the exercises, she washed up. After washing, she looked in the mirror and pinched her face. She felt that there was not much change.

Come on, I've gained some weight, but I'm still as beautiful as before.

That bitch will spread rumors all day long!

She cursed Takeshi Nanahara again in her mind, changed her clothes and went to the other side to make breakfast according to the note posted on the refrigerator by Takeshi Nanahara. After waiting for a while, she saw Takeshi Nanahara coming down listlessly.

She ignored him and continued to do her own thing. Takeshi Nanahara didn't go over as usual, raving about the breakfast she made, and sat down at the small square table by himself, holding his chin and thinking about something.

When she brought over the cheese and egg sandwich and milk, she saw that he was still thinking, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Well... what are you thinking about? Do you have any clues about the case?"

"No." Takeshi Nanahara came to his senses, took a sip of milk, picked up a cheese and egg sandwich and started eating.

Qingmi Ruri also picked up a sandwich and took a bite. The browned toast, tender eggs, rich and mellow cheese slices, and the fried tender bacon all tasted quite good.

My cooking skills are really getting better and better!

She couldn't help but snorted, but she was still more interested in the progress of the case and asked vaguely: "Not at all?"

Takeshi Nanabahara slowly ate his sandwich: "No."

Qingjian Liuli still didn't give up, "What about the doubts? There is no doubt at all about Kikujian Kuami's case?"

Takeshi Nanahara stopped eating for a moment, and said in deep thought: "The evidence in the case itself is conclusive, and there are no major problems. In other countries, it would be enough to shoot Kyumi Kikuma three or five times, but nothing in the world is perfect, and there must be small problems." , but whether it is considered a doubtful point, we still have to go to the burial place to see the place where the body was buried."

Qing Jian Liuli perked up: "Are you going now?"

The case is the most important, so maybe you can skip school for a day... No, it means sacrificing a day of school time.

"Let's wait until school is over!" Takeshi Nanahara looked a bit like a wilted cabbage today. Last night he looked at the case file and saw that it was almost three o'clock in the night. Now he was very sleepy. "I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'm going to school to catch up on my sleep." .”

Qing Jian Liuli was a little disappointed. She really wanted to grow up quickly. If she had grown up now and became a criminal police officer, she could concentrate on handling cases and would not have to spend eight hours at school every day.

But there was nothing she could do. If Takeshi Nanahara didn't take her to skip school, she didn't dare to go to school, so she had no choice but to go to school.

Fortunately, she is not the pure-blood scumbag she used to be. Now she is considered to be in the middle and lower reaches of the class. Her classes have been able to keep up with the progress, and her time at school is no longer difficult. She studies seriously and feels nothing at all in the afternoon. Three forty - this is all thanks to Japan. No high school in China would allow students to start herding sheep at three forty.

She waited for Takeshi Nakahara at Shoe Kitchen, and went with him to confirm the "doubts" while carrying two schoolbags. However, Takeshi Nanahara was not too anxious. After leaving the school, she first called Nakano Eri to ask what she had there. progress.

The result was that there was little progress. No dropped objects or footprints of the murderer were found in Hannishi Hiroshi's backyard; no corresponding footprints or fingerprints were found on the drainage pipes; but there were some traces on the wall outside the window, as Takeshi Nanabaru said, However, the murderer only used the forefoot of one foot to provide some support. In addition, the outer wall was hard and the traces left were very slight. Nothing was extracted. Even the height and weight of the murderer could not be estimated.

Simply put, the police found no clues to pursue at the second victim's home.

Takeshi Nanabahara was not disappointed, and asked Nakano Eri how the "visitor list" was going. He found that the investigation was in progress and there was no result for the time being, so he hung up the phone and took Qingmi Ruri to take a train close to the city center. In a small park, I found a sparse grove.

Qingjian Liuli followed him into the sparse woods and asked curiously: "Is this the burial place back then?"

Takeshi Nanahara recalled the case files in his mind, walked into the woods for a while, found a slightly sunken ground, looked around again, and then nodded and said: "Yes, this is where Ju was. Makumi killed a man named Kenji Shikatori, and his body was buried here.”

Qingjian Liuli looked around and asked, "So, is there anything suspicious here?"

Takeshi Nanahara pointed to the southwest: "The straight-line distance is about one kilometer, which is the headquarters and activity venue of the One God Society in the city. If you bury the body, it is a bit too close."

After he finished speaking, he looked around and then mused, "Look now, the location is not suitable. It is still within the city center, this small park is not remote, and the woods are not lush. Even if you go here at night Transporting corpses is not a good choice either. If it were me, I wouldn’t likely choose this place.”

Qing Jian Liuli looked around and felt that what he said made sense.

Even driving here in the middle of the night to transport the body and digging a deep pit is really not safe and unlike what ordinary people would choose, but she thought about it and said, "Maybe his brain is broken? He has no idea." To believe that there is a so-called God in the world, and also to believe that the world is about to be destroyed and God will come down from the sky to save him, I think is almost crazy, and may not be the same as normal people think."

Takeshi Nanahara shook his head and said: "The deaths of five people were directly related to him. Four of them were buried in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city. This can already explain the problem. It is true that he is a brainwashed fanatic believer, but it is because he truly believes , he was extra careful, for fear of causing trouble to Yishen.

His mental evaluation report said that he had no sense of guilt or remorse for killing these people. He believed from his heart that he killed these people to strengthen the Unitarian Society, to save more people in the future, and even save the world. . This guy thought he was doing something good. "

"Then you think... Shikatori Kenji was not killed by him?" Qingmi Ruri hesitated, "Just because the burial place is a bit strange, I can't be sure. Maybe there was an accident at the time and he had to be buried nearby. corpse."

Takeshi Nanabahara did not deny it. He walked around the buried body and looked at it for a while. He said truthfully: "It is indeed possible. The cause of death of Kenji Shikatori was a heavy blow to the back of the head, which caused the skull at the back of the head to shatter. In addition, There were no other wounds, so his death should have been sudden.

Moreover, some property was indeed missing from his home for no apparent reason. On some of the property that was later recovered, Kikuma Kumi's fingerprints were also found, which is conclusive evidence. If he had just been deceived and then suddenly woke up, wanted to get rid of the Isshinkai people, and then had a conflict with Kikuma Kumi at the headquarters, and was accidentally beaten to death, it would make sense for his body to be buried here. "

"Then what should we do now?" Qingjian Liuli asked, "Are there any other doubts?"

"No, let's go home and eat!" Takeshi Nanahara turned around and walked back.

The murderer left almost no traces, and the case of Kikuma Kyumi was so long ago that he himself was burnt to ashes. There was no way to ask. There is not much that can be done now. We can only wait for the investigation results from Nakano Eri, or It was the murderer who committed another crime.

Qingjian Liuli had no choice but to follow him and think for a while, then suggested: "It's still early anyway, let's go see Mai's child?"

"That child is not as fragile as he looks on the surface and does not need your sympathy." Takeshi Nanabahara was noncommittal.

"This is not sympathy, this is the basic principle of life." Qingjian Liuli insisted, "She is a child at home by herself, her legs and feet are not convenient, her adoptive father has just passed away, and her adoptive mother is cooperating with the investigation, so if we have the ability to take care of her, Of course we should take care of her. If she doesn’t like us coming over, let’s make sure she’s okay and it’s not too late to go home.”

After a pause, she pouted again and said: "Anyway, I'm not too worried. If you are too lazy to move or are cold-hearted, I'll go by myself. I want to cook a meal for the child."

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her sideways and said angrily: "I've been talking a lot all day long, and it makes me seem like I'm not a human being. If you want to go, just go!"

We still haven’t figured out how Yukio Sugata was poisoned. Although the method of committing the crime does not seem to be that important now. The key lies in how Kyumi Kikuma “resurrected from the dead”. But it is better to figure it out than not to figure it out. Maybe it will be helpful for the investigation. The murderer was of great help, so it wouldn't hurt to go over there and find out more about the situation.

Of course, he is not a stone-hearted person. Sugada Mai's life experience and experience are indeed worthy of sympathy. Qingjian Liuli Holy Fox has a heart attack, and he wants to do his best in the past, so he doesn't resist much.

The matter was settled, and the two took the train to Sugada's house again, and the fare was recorded in Qingmi Ruri's account.

Qingmi Ruri rang the doorbell and waited for a while. The doorbell intercom rang, and Sugada Mai's soft voice came from it: "Hello, this is the Sugada family. Who are you?"

People came running, and Qingjian Liuli suddenly felt embarrassed and stuttered slightly: "Well, I am Qingjian Liuli... uh, we were here yesterday."

"It turns out it's Nanahara-san and Kiyomi-san, are they working on my father's case?" Sugada Mai immediately said enthusiastically, "I've caused you trouble, please come in!"

"Well, that's not..." Qingjian Liuli answered half a sentence, but when he saw the courtyard door lock pop open, he didn't continue and just pushed the door open and went in.

Sugada Mai greeted her at the door of the room in a wheelchair, bending down and bowing: "Nanahara-san, Kiyomi-san, thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing, nothing!"

Qing Jian Liuli became even more embarrassed and waved her hands quickly. Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "Senior Mai, we are not a few years older than you, so you don't have to be so polite all the time."

There are various forms of Japanese honorifics, such as ding-ning language, humility language, and respect for others. Mai Sugada has been using respect for others, making it seem like there is a social class difference between the two parties. It's completely unnecessary - even if the two parties are relatively strangers, it's almost enough to speak Ding Ning to show politeness and politeness. There is really no need to make it look like a member of the club has met the president.

Sugada Mai hesitated for a moment, then changed the title to "Onisan", which was a little closer but respectful. She turned around in her wheelchair and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Nanabahara, sister Qingmi, you guys are also called I'm ready, Mai-chan."

Qing Jian Liuli said happily: "Okay, Mai-chan, I'll push you."

Sugada Mai smiled at her and didn't object. She was pushed into the living room by Qingmi Ruri. There was a small slope specially built at the entrance of Sugada's house to facilitate her entry and exit.

After entering the living room, she invited Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi to sit down on the sofa, while she rolled her wheelchair to the kitchen to make tea. Qingjian Liuli wanted to follow and help, but Takeshi Qingyuan secretly reached out and pulled her back. She turned around and asked curiously: "Why are you pulling me?"

Takeshi Nanahara scolded her in a low voice: "You pig-brained person, do you want to help or look down on her? You are a guest now, sit down and be honest."

Qingjian Ruri reacted and said angrily, "I didn't mean that." He sat down honestly, but looked at Sugada Mai's back and praised in a low voice: "This child is so well-behaved and polite. !”

She is much better than her younger sister Qingmi Miyu, who is a naughty child. That unfortunate child has no manners at all. She only makes snitches all day long, or else she instigates her mother to attack her in various ways. She is not cute at all. I want a polite sister like Sugada Mai.

"Maybe he has a rough life experience!" Takeshi Nanahara agreed from the side. He could see to some extent that Sugada Mai was not innocent, but as an adopted daughter, she was "dependent" in a sense, and she had more thoughts than ordinary girls. He could understand it - he had also been dependent on others, to be honest. Yeah, that’s not easy, it’s not simple at all.

Qingjian Liuli nodded, moved her eyes to the TV, looked at the pause screen, and asked curiously: "What kind of video is this?"

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at it and said, "It's a daily video. It looks like it was taken in the kitchen."

"Yes, it's a birthday video taken more than a year ago." Mai Sugada came over holding the tea tray with one hand and rocking the wheels of the wheelchair with the other. She said with a slightly gloomy expression, "I have nothing to do when I get home, so just watch the old videos. .”

Remembering your father, or reminiscing about your past family life?

Seeing the pity in Liuli's heart, Qing Qing reached out to take the tea tray, placed the tea and refreshments, and asked casually: "Is it your birthday?"

Mai Sugada took the remote control and let the video continue to play. She smiled and shook her head: "It was taken on my mother's birthday last year."

"Mrs. Sugata!" Qingmi Ruri said nonsense and watched with her. She found that the camera was very shaken and the picture was not clear, but the people inside were very happy.

The person holding the camera was Sugada Mai. From time to time she would reverse the camera to reveal half of her pretty face. It seemed that she was not in a wheelchair at that time and her personality was more lively than now. She roamed around the house freely and asked Sugada Sayoko what she wanted for her birthday. Wishing to see her preparing for a birthday party with Mitsuko Asae, and even running to the study upstairs to "interview" Yukio Sugada, curiously asking him what birthday gift he had prepared.

Anyway, the family is very happy together, a very happy family of three.

Sugada Mai watched the video in a daze for a while, her expression getting darker and darker, and the afternoon sunlight slanting on her face made her look more and more like a doll, beautiful, fragile and pitiful.

Qing Jian Liuli became more and more sympathetic, and didn't want her to continue reading, so she whispered: "Mai-chan..."

Sugada Mai came back to her senses and smiled a little ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Nanabahara, sister Qingmi, I'm rude." Then she immediately changed the subject, "By the way, you are here this time... …”

Qingjian Liuli immediately said: "Nothing special, it's just that you are at home, your legs...well, I...we are a little worried, so come and see you."

Sugada Mai was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's nothing, Sister Qingmi, I can take care of myself."

Qingjian Liuli immediately asked: "Then what are you going to eat tonight?"

"Ah, this... I haven't thought about it yet." It was only 4:30 in the afternoon, which was too early for dinner.

"Then let me cook tonight. My cooking skills are... pretty good. I guarantee you'll like it." Qingmi Liuli immediately recommended herself, but she didn't dare to talk too much, lest she turn around and end up being criticized by Takeshi Nanabahara when she got home. The dog is sarcastic.

After a pause, she was afraid that Mai Sugada's self-esteem would be hurt, so she added, "I know you can take care of yourself, but you are still young, so if you call me sister again, I have to act like a sister and take care of you." Take care of you."

Sugada Mai looked at her and saw that her eyes were crystal clear, as if she could see into other people's hearts, and she did not refuse this simple kindness. She lowered her eyelids slightly and said with a smile: "Then let's go together, sister Qingmi, I The cooking skills are actually pretty good.”
