I'm Not a Detective

At a quarter past nine in the evening, the sightseeing train walked slowly to Wuwei Town, dropped off Takeshi Nanahara, Ruri Kiyomi, and Yuki Kakumaru, and then continued to move forward while puffing on the air until it reached Nemuro. will stop.

"You've only achieved this in your life, and you're so hungry that you can't walk. Have you never known what self-control is? You really have no self-control at all. No wonder you are a scumbag, and you will definitely become three hundred in the future. What a scumbag!" Takeshi Nanahara directed Kakumaru Yuki to find a hotel called "Hanazato", while he dragged his hiking bag and walked slowly with Qingmi Ruri in his hand, scolding her continuously.

Qing Jian Liuli shook her head, snorted, and said unconvinced: "If I took an ordinary train, I wouldn't be able to do this. If you want to blame me, I blame you for insisting on taking the sightseeing train."

Although it didn't make sense, it was all she could say.

If she took an ordinary train, she would be bored enough to eat the beef jerky and chocolate in her hiking bag. It would be impossible for her to eat so much barbecue, let alone go shopping at every stop and buy so many delicious foods.

Mountain taro is delicious, as are yam cakes. Mountain glutinous rice cakes are grilled, and when you bite them, the outside will be brown, but the inside is as transparent as crystal and sweet and delicious; sardines are so small, but they will be oily when grilled. The more you eat, the better it tastes. There are also people at the station selling wild horsefish caught in the river. It is very tender when grilled. Just put a little salt on it and it is very delicious. You can’t stop eating it...

Anyway, it's Nanahara Takeshi's fault. He is a pest. She didn't have a big appetite in the past. It was only after she met him that she started to have a big appetite. He must take full responsibility.

Takeshi Nanahara became even more angry. Seeing that she still dared to talk back, he continued to scold her: "You are such a pig. Only sightseeing trains can pass by such a remote station. If we take an ordinary train, we have to take a tourist bus here. Two The travel time is not much different, I chose the most comfortable way to arrive! It sounds nice, you insisted on taking care of me and Kakumaru, but now we have a disabled person and a child to take care of you, so we should take care of you Leave it at home!"

Qing saw that Ruri had nothing to say, pouting and sulking, while Kakumaru Yuki ran back to report that she had already asked about the location of the hotel, and the three of them went to stay together.

Takeshi Nanahara made a reservation by phone in advance, and the check-in went smoothly. He stayed in one room by himself, while Ruri Qingmi and Yuki Kakumaru stayed in the same room, and the rooms were adjacent to each other.

Kakumaru had a great time on the snowy road. It was also her first time traveling by train. It really relieved a lot of her worries. But now that she got off the train, her nervousness took over again. While unpacking her luggage, she hesitated to Takeshi Nanabahara. Then asked: "Is my mother here?"

She thought it would be in Asahikawa City, but she didn't expect it to be in a small town on the outskirts of the city.

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and nodded: "It should be here, but the specific address has not been found, but there are only ten thousand people in this town, and you have the photo. You can find it by searching tomorrow, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Thank you, senior." Kakumaru Yuki said her thanks obediently, feeling that Takeshi Nanahara really has the demeanor of a senior, very stable and reliable. If she came to Asahikawa by herself, she didn't know when she would find Wuwei Town. Senior Takeshi Nanahara really saved her a lot of time.

"Then you guys have a good rest and we'll go find someone tomorrow."

Takeshi Nanahara said something more and got up and went back to his room, while Kakumaru Yuki's eyes turned to Qingmi Ruri, who was drinking tea to eat, and finally began to feel that something was wrong with her - you think it was an act, it was too much. It's true. He is obviously a leader, but he was scolded so badly by his younger brother that he didn't even dare to retaliate. He could only hide away and drink tea in frustration. Is this still considered a leader?

But she spent two years in a special nursing home, ran away early and lived outside for a year, and even dared to go on the road alone from Tokyo to the Asahi River. Her thoughts were far more complicated than those of ordinary children. Seeing Liuli was still polite.

It was almost ten o'clock now, and after another six or seven hours of train ride, the two simply took a bath and rested together - Qingjian Ruri even helped her wash her hair enthusiastically, and she felt that Qingjian Ruri There is a faint fragrance on the body.

Qingjian Liuli ate too many messy things along the way. She was so curious that she really wanted to try everything she saw. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep. She only sneered from time to time and talked vaguely in her sleep. "You are so stupid, you have no control at all", I don't know who I am scolding in my dream.

And Kakumaru Yuki thought about seeing her biological mother tomorrow, and couldn't sleep for a while. It took a long time before she felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep.

She didn't know how long she slept, but she vaguely seemed to have had a dream, dreaming that she had found her mother, but she couldn't see clearly. Sometimes she looked like the one in the photo, sometimes she looked like Okisaka Fukuko, and sometimes she looked a bit like Qingmi Ruri, and While I was confused, I suddenly heard a shrill scream.

She woke up suddenly. Before she could sit up, she felt a strong wind blowing against her face. A figure suddenly rushed over her in the darkness. She opened the door and disappeared in an instant.

What a fast response!

She was shocked. She sat up and touched to the side. Sure enough, Qingmi Ruri, who was sleeping next to her, was gone. Only the quilt was still slightly warm. Then she heard the angry voice of Takeshi Nanahara coming from the next room, "Asshole, you Why are you so crazy? I scolded you a few times at night, and you wanted to kill me at night?"

She hurriedly ran to the next room and turned on the light. She found that Qingmi Ruri was wearing a yukata and standing on the bed with bare feet in a daze, while Takeshi Nanahara was wearing a men's yukata and was sitting in the corner of the room angrily. There was also a pair of small and exquisite sound-isolating earmuffs thrown beside him. It seemed that he realized something was wrong in his sleep and rolled there, avoiding the tragic fate of being stepped on by Qingjian Ruri.

Qingjian Liuli seemed to have just woken up at this time, looked at Qi Yuanwu, and said in confusion: "Aren't you screaming?"

"I was sleeping well, why are I screaming?" Takeshi Nanahara said angrily, then tilted his head, listened, and asked strangely, "But it is indeed very noisy, what is going on in this hotel?"

He was wearing soundproof earmuffs, and his hearing was restricted to the point that he was not as good as an ordinary person. He didn't hear the scream just now at all. Instead, Qingjian Liuli suddenly slammed the door and rushed in. The air pressure suddenly changed, and he instinctively got out. Far.

Qing Jian Liuli felt even more strange. She immediately went to the window to observe the yard and found that the yard was pitch dark. However, there was a commotion coming from the guest rooms opposite the yard. The lights in many guest rooms were turned on, and sobbing and panic could be heard faintly. The cry was far less harsh and loud than the scream just now, and she couldn't hear it clearly. She was asleep just now, and she thought that the mysterious man die.

Of course, looking at it now, it was purely because she was confused in her sleep, and it had nothing to do with them at all.

However, something big is definitely happening!

She took one look and said excitedly: "There must be a case!"

Takeshi Nanahara and Yuki Kakumaru also came to the window. Takeshi Nanahara's ears twitched, he touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "There seems to be something wrong, but I really booked a hotel randomly, how could this happen to me?"

Qingmi Ruri didn't care what he thought. Now she was completely excited. She said "I'll go take a look" and ran out of the room. Kakumaru Yuki hesitated and followed to see the situation.

The Hanazhili Hotel was a very cheap stopover in those days. After all, Wuwei Town now has a population of barely 10,000. It used to be just a small village. If a big hotel opens, it will definitely go bankrupt.

So now it looks like a serious hotel. It was renovated and renovated after Hokkaido started to develop tourism. The layout structure has not changed much. The overall structure is still in a "back" shape, with all the guest rooms on the periphery and decorative flowers and trees in the middle. , dry stone pavilions and public activity areas such as hotel kitchens and check-in points.

The place where the incident occurred was diagonally opposite Takeshi Nanahara and the others. Qing Jian Liuli ran along the wooden corridor with bare feet. At this time, the door of the room where the incident occurred was already crowded with people. Some people looked frightened, and some had expressions of disbelief. , some were retching, and some even went in, as if they were watching whether the people inside were dead or alive.

Qingjian Liuli squeezed into the crowd and took a look into the room. She found a man in a yukata lying on the tatami, with blood flowing all over the floor. The cause of death was ninety-nine times a heavy blow to the back of the head. When he looked at her again, his pupils shrank. , found an "X" written in blood on the deceased's hand.

She only glanced at it twice, and the generals and maids of the hotel had already reacted. They quickly and gently advised the guests to go back to their rooms and continue to rest. They also announced that today's meals and accommodation would be free of charge, and asked everyone not to leave the hotel for the time being until the police Let’s talk about it when we arrive – the latter is a request from the police.

Qingmi Ruri had no choice but to take Kakumaru Yuki back to the room as she was told, and described the "murder scene" she just saw to Takeshi Nanabahara in detail.

Takeshi Nanahara didn't care at all and got into bed again. He said nonchalantly: "You should worry less about things that have nothing to do with us. There is still a while before dawn, so go to bed quickly."

"But someone died!" Qingjian Liuli was still thinking about the "murder scene" just now, and said unwillingly, "Someone died is not a small matter, how can you not care?"

"It's useless for you to care. This is the boundary of Asahikawa, not Hirano. No one will come to you... No one has ever come to you for help. It's all me who's busy! It's impossible for anyone to come to us for help here. It's the job of Asahikawa Detective, we don't need to worry too much." Takeshi Nanabahara pointed at the sunglasses he wore while sleeping, "Besides, haven't you learned your lesson from what happened before? Being a detective is too dangerous, although you can It makes money, but it’s not cost-effective. From now on, murder cases have nothing to do with us, so we will focus on promoting the mediumship business.”

Qingjian Liuli was surprised and said: "You no longer want to be a detective, but just a psychic?"

"Nonsense, I was lucky last time. If I get killed next time, I will be the most frustrated person in the history of mankind... So what, I don't want to bear this kind of stigma, so I will definitely quit." Nanahara Takekai Good quilt, turned to Kakumaru Yuki and said, "You don't need to pay attention to her, go back and continue to rest. If you are scared, bring the quilt over and sleep next to me."

Kakumaru Yuki was quite nervous, so she wasn't too scared. She just said hesitantly: "I heard from the hotel general that the police seem to have asked everyone not to leave for the time being. Then tomorrow..."

Whether she is dead or not has nothing to do with her, but now it is a problem that affects her ability to find her mother, and Takeshi Nanahara said casually: "There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing, but it's not a big problem. We didn't kill the person. It's simple at best. Just ask a few questions, it won’t waste much time, you can sleep peacefully, I will ensure that you see your mother tomorrow.”

Yuki Kakumaru felt a little more relieved. She brought the bedding from the next door and spread it out. She also lay down two or three feet away from Takeshi Nanabahara. She closed her eyes and prepared to rest again. She silently prayed that this matter would not hinder their schedule.

Qingmi Ruri hesitated and moved the bedding over. After all, a murder had just occurred. Who knows what the situation was. She had to protect Takeshi Nanabahara and Yuki Kakumaru, but she was not sleepy at all now. After laying out the bedding, she hesitated for a moment. He slipped out of the room again and wanted to inquire about the situation.

She didn't dare to run far, so she eavesdropped on the conversation of the maids at the corner of the corridor. After a while, she ran back with a surprised look on her face and whispered to Takeshi Nanabaru: "Something really happened. I heard from the maids that he was killed." He seems to be a criminal police officer."

We were still waiting for the criminal police to arrive to investigate the case, but a criminal policeman died in the room. What should I say?

Takeshi Nanahara had nothing to say. It was good that he didn't report Qingmi Ruri. If he could talk nonsense to her, he just closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Someone died as soon as he came across the street. There is definitely something wrong with Qingmi Ruri. Murders happen wherever this guy goes, so she is the real culprit. She is actually the real serial murderer - Hirano recently Everyone who died should be blamed on her, and the one who just died in Asahikawa should also be blamed on her. What a JK whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people!
