I'm Not a Detective

In the room at the Flower House in Wuwei Town, Oguri Yaye and Nanabahara Takehan chatted for a moment and then got back to business and began to explain the basic situation of the case.

Well, a colleague was killed, and the Asahikawa detectives were also working hard. They had basically sorted out the ins and outs of the case and delineated the scope of suspects. However, it was difficult to find the specific murderer for a while. Oguri Kamano had already inquired about these situations through his friend Kenji Tagiri at the same time. , now explain it to Qin Yuanwu so that he knows what is going on.

His younger brother Oguri Ginkawa is 36 years old. He graduated from Sapporo University and later took the local civil service examination to become a Hokkaido provincial police officer. He is a member of the quasi-professional group. After training, he was assigned to work in Asahikawa City. He currently lives alone and is unmarried.

By the way, Oguri Kamino was also assigned to work at the Hirano Police Station. He may be transferred back to the Provincial Police Headquarters or transferred to other places in the future, but that depends on his future development.

If it's good, he might go directly to work in the criminal department of the road police headquarters, or go to a new police station and become a criminal police boss like "Wu Teng'an"; if it's bad, he might be exiled to a remote place for making mistakes. Kojou continues to be a small boss, and may even be beaten to the end, forced to resign honorably, and become a detective like Mouri Kogoro.

Well, it seems that Mouri Kogoro accidentally shot his wife due to a certain kidnapping incident. He was forced to resign honorably due to improper use of firearms, and became a decadent detective who enjoyed drinking and betting on horses all day long - Japan has very strict management of police guns. , you will be held accountable even if you commit suicide with a police gun, let alone accidentally shooting your own wife.

Oguri Ginkawa's career path is similar to that of his brother and even Mouri Kogoro. He is currently working in the Arson Department of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Asahikawa Police Station. He has worked hard to gain qualifications. It was originally very normal, but he happened to meet him in Asahikawa City yesterday. He met a college classmate who came for a vacation. It happened to be a weekend break, so he was invited to attend the "class reunion" and was subsequently murdered between one and three o'clock that night.

The discoverers were two night-time maids at the hotel. They passed by Oguri Yinchuan's room at about 3:30 in the night and found that his door was not closed tightly and the light was on. They thought he had not rested yet, so they kindly asked him if he needed tea. After some snacks, no one said anything after asking for a few words. A waitress put her head in and immediately discovered that Oguri Yinchuan had been killed.

The cause of death was a heavy blow to the back of the head, almost fatal. Before death, he smeared an X with his own blood, but the police have not yet figured out what this means.

The waitress who discovered that Oguri Yinchuan was murdered was young. It was the first time in her life that she faced a murder scene. It was still in the middle of the night. She screamed loudly on the spot, waking up everyone in the hotel like an air raid siren, and attracted a large number of people to watch. Although there was not much damage to the indoor scene, there was a mess outside anyway. Even Qing Jian Liuli ran over and took a look.

At this point, Qingmi Liuli couldn't help it. While excerpting the key points in a small notebook, he asked curiously: "Wait a minute, Oguri Police Department, judging from the circumstances of your brother's murder, he was attacked from behind, so how can he Turning his back to someone without any defense, it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime, right? Where is his college classmate, he should be the most suspect, right?"

Oguri Yaye nodded, and subconsciously took out the half-pack of cigarettes that were squashed. He seemed to want to light one, but immediately realized that it was inappropriate, so he stuffed it back into his pocket, and sighed: "I was about to say this, the current sunrise The suspect targeted by the Sichuan Police Department is indeed my brother's college classmate, but...they came this time with twelve people."

"Twelve people?" Qing was surprised when he saw Liuli Xiaoxiao. He didn't expect there to be so many people.

Oguri Kamano sighed: "College classmates are valuable human resources in the eyes of ordinary people. Most of his university classmates stayed in Sapporo after graduation. Judging from the inquiries, they get together several times a year. Sometimes there are dozens of participants. This time it was just a small temporary gathering. Someone proposed to go out together during the Golden Week gathering, and some people with higher professional freedom responded. It turned out that they had just arrived in Asahikawa City That’s when I met my brother.”

Qingjian Liuli immediately asked: "What about the alibi? Who doesn't have an alibi?"

Xiaoli Yaye patiently replied: "It was night, and everyone's alibi was insufficient. At most, they could only protect each other as husband and wife. Most of them claimed that they were asleep. I also asked all the maids in the hotel, and they didn't. No one has been seen entering or leaving my brother's room, and no one has heard any special noises."

Qingjian Liuli took note of it in a small notebook, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. There were so many suspects and there were no witnesses who could provide clues. It was not a case that could be solved in a day or two. No wonder Oguri Yaye was anxious.

Takenori Nanabahara touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "Does your brother often attend such class reunions?"

Little Chestnut Duck Ye Ye shook his head and said: "From the inquiry record, he has almost never participated. This time we met by chance yesterday and got the invitation. He just found him after get off work. It was almost eight o'clock when he came. ”

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and asked: "Who does the Oguri Police Department think is more suspicious at the moment?"

Oguri Yaye thought about it for a while, then shook his head again and said: "No, it's difficult to judge the motive of the crime. If the murderer is really among them, I really can't think of any hatred that can last for so long. It has been more than ten years since graduation, even in school. If there is any conflict, it’s not like he still holds a grudge after such a long time and has to kill someone.”

Qing Jian Liuli also frowned and thought hard, and felt that what Oguri Yaye said made sense.

A group of old classmates who haven't seen each other in more than ten years, even if they had conflicts when they were in school, how much hatred can they have? If I had a deep hatred that I could not forget for more than ten years, I would have come to seek revenge on him long ago. But if my hatred was not high, I suddenly thought of killing Oguri Yinchuan when I met him... They are all a group of adults running around. Now that we have our own families, careers and lives, why would we be so reckless?

Could it be related to school bullying?

When I saw it, I suddenly remembered the past and became murderous?

She immediately asked: "Then, are you investigating the conflict between your brother and them in college?"

Oguri Yaye nodded and said: "Of course, the Asahikawa Police Station will definitely investigate, and they have repeatedly asked about the possibility of vendetta in the transcript. My brother has had minor conflicts with a few of them, but they are all trivial matters. , really speaking, it is the motive for committing the crime...I personally would be suspicious first."

After a pause, he sighed, then lowered his head and said seriously, "Nanahara-san, this time, please, please identify the suspect as soon as possible. As long as the suspect is identified, I can complete the in-depth investigation myself."

Oguri Kamino just lacks direction now. There are too many suspects, and there is no directional evidence or motive for the crime. He has no way to start the investigation. What's more terrible is that if no directional evidence and motive for the crime can be found, the Asahikawa Police Station Unable to retain these people for a long time to assist in the investigation, these people returned to Sapporo, and the situation became even more uncontrollable. It is not impossible for the murderer to find a reason to fly abroad any day.

Of course, if he had the patience to investigate other cases slowly and issue a wanted warrant when the murderer ran away, but for his brother's case, he couldn't do it step by step. It was best to do it before these "old classmates" returned to Sapporo. , just find the murderer and detain him - the evidence can be found slowly. Anyway, people have to find a way to detain him first, so that he can't have the slightest hope of escaping.

Takeshi Nanahara understood his urgent mood and wanted the bowl again, so he immediately said seriously: "Don't worry, Oguri Police Department, I will try my best, but I need to go to the crime scene and meet your brother's old classmates again. These needs You figure it out."

"No problem, please come with me!" Oguri Kamino was already prepared and immediately took him to his friend Kenji Tagiri at the same time. He had already thought about it. He could not directly intervene in the investigation of the case, but Takeshi Nanahara was fine. The Asahikawa Police Station could also ask for foreign aid!

…………

"Is Nanahara-san really okay?" Kenji Tagiri looked at Takeshi Nanahara wearing sunglasses and holding a blind stick, and he couldn't understand it, even though he could see that Oguri Kamino was worried about the long nights and dreams, and wanted to quickly identify the suspect. , but let’s take a...blind man, and he is still a college student. Is he a little sick and urgently seek medical treatment?

There was nothing Oguri Yaye could do, after all, a dead horse had to be treated as a living horse, and Takeshi Qihara was a psychic with some weird methods, maybe he would become more spiritual after being blind.

He immediately introduced Nanabahara's "great achievements" to Kenji Tagiri in detail, and talked about the cases he had assisted in investigating in Hirano for more than a month. He also specifically pointed out that the reason why the previous "Hiragano serial bombings" could be solved was that he Although he takes the lead, his eyes were accidentally injured because of his desperate search and rescue of hostages. He is definitely a super detective with ability and a sense of justice, and he can definitely become a great help to the Asahikawa Police Department.

Talking about other cases, Tagiri Kenji may not be aware of it. Hirano is hundreds of kilometers away from the Asahikawa River. The local newspapers are not interested in what happens in Hirano, but the "serial bombing case" is different. It is very rare. Not only was it on the Hokkaido NHK news channel, it was also mentioned in national news. Of course he had heard about it, and even "sympathized" with his subordinates. The Hirarano Police Station was really unlucky for eight lifetimes. He didn't know what to do when he looked back. What it was like to be tortured by reporters.

Now when he heard what Oguri Kamino said, he immediately looked at Takeshi Nanabahara with admiration and was ready to make friends with him. After all, he might be the next unlucky guy. If there was a case that he couldn't handle, he could also ask Nanabahara to do it. Yuan Wu, come and take a look!

Well, the police all over Japan are stupid and don't feel ashamed to ask people to help solve crimes. He is the same, and he has no psychological burden at all.

Kirita Kenji's attitude immediately improved, he said a few polite words in a row, and no longer questioned Takeshi Nanabahara's ability. He immediately agreed with him to assist the Asahikawa police in detecting the case, and directly arranged for someone to take him to see the scene first - Yuki Kakumaru Since he was not interested in the case and he was a child, there was no need to go. He could just go back to his room to have lunch and then go back to Hirano together.

…………

With the cooperation of the local police, things became much easier to handle. Takeshi Qingyuan and Ruri Qingmi went to the scene of the crime immediately.

The room at the crime scene has been surveyed, and Oguri Yinchuan's body has been sent to the police station for autopsy. Only a large amount of blood stains and a human-shaped white coil are left on the tatami, while other things, such as Oguri Yinchuan's personal belongings, are still there for the time being. It hasn't been moved, it's still sitting in the room.

Qingjian Ruri is very excited, and there is also a kind of concentration in the excitement. This is different from before. She is now the "eyes" of Takeshi Shichihara. She must use all she has learned before, observe the scene carefully, and tell Takeshi Shichihara everything without missing a thing. , so as to ensure that he has basic information for reasoning and deduction, and directly finds the suspect.

She carefully supported Takeshi Nanahara and whispered as she walked: "The layout of the room is the same as the one we lived in, but the direction of the door is different; the door lock is normal, no damage or minor scratches; the entrance is also normal, the left hand is Next to it is a shoe rack, on which are the soft-soled slippers provided by the hotel. There are...including the ones worn by the deceased before, there are six pairs in total. They seem to be as many as there are in the room between us. I will look for them later. The waitress will confirm..."

After being scolded by Takeshi Nanahara all day long for more than a month, her brain has improved a lot, her observation ability has improved, and she can now pay attention to many unexpected details before. She can talk endlessly for a while, which feels good.

Since Takeshi Nanahara is blind, her role will be even greater. Takeshi Nanahara must take her with him at all times if he wants to solve the case. He cannot do without her. Moreover, she can lead Takeshi Nanahara wherever he wants, and he cannot lose his temper. .

It's a pity that this guy has only been blind for a month and a half. In fact, it is not impossible to be blind for two or three years. Anyway, I can be his eyes and take good care of him.

It's really a pity. If he had talked so much in the past, he would have become impatient. How good he is now!

Takenori Nanabahara didn't listen to what she said at all. While her attention was on the room decorations, he pulled his sunglasses up to his nose and scanned the room, looking for suspicious places.

Qing Jian Liuli was unaware of anything and slowly guided him into the room. Based on the white coil and the impression she witnessed last night, she carefully described the posture of the deceased's body, and then said: "Before dying, the deceased used his right hand to There is an X daubed on the tatami, this should be an important clue, you should remember it well."

Takeshi Nanahara took a look and found that it was not an "X" at all. He would have started spraying before, but of course not now. Now it is very convenient for him to enslave Qing Jian Liuli in front of a blind man, and he can also make all kinds of demands very freely that he would have been beaten 100% of the time before. He is ready to wait for six weeks before making any demands.

He said directly: "Very good, now I have a basic impression of the crime scene. Next, take me to see the deceased's belongings."

"Okay." Qingjian Liuli immediately guided him over and said while looking carefully, "He didn't bring many things. He had a bunch of keys, a pager, a black leather wallet, a small notepad, and a ballpoint pen. And a book.”

"Wallet?" Takeshi Nanahara asked in a pretentious manner while secretly looking at these things.

"It's an ordinary black leather wallet. It seems to have been used for a long time and has some wear and tear on the corners." Qingmi Liuli went out and asked, confirming that the fingerprints had been extracted in the forensics class, so he took it out and let Takeshi Nanabaru touch it, but She kept staring at him closely, fearing that he would habitually put the money inside into his pocket, and continued, "There are three bank cards inside, as well as about 20,000 yen in banknotes and change. It looks like an acquaintance is undoubtedly responsible for committing the crime. At least the murderer wasn’t looking for money.”

Takeshi Nanahara nodded, opened the small notepad and touched the contents inside, and found that it was all about Oguri Yinchuan's work, there was nothing suspicious about it, and it had nothing to do with this class reunion.

Nothing else is important. The police will definitely investigate the number in the pager, so there is no need for him to worry about it.

He picked up the book again, touched it casually, turned it over a few times, and smelled it. He asked slightly strangely: "Did you just buy a new book? The pages are very astringent and the smell of ink is very strong. I haven't turned it over much yet." Pass."

Qingjian Ruri also looked at it twice, but it was not surprising. These days, commuting sometimes requires a long train ride. Sitting there is boring. Many people carry a book with them to pass the time. He just nodded and said: "Yes, it seems so. This new book is titled La Traviata."

Takeshi Nanahara put the book back. There was nothing suspicious about the book for the time being. It was normal for the other party to buy the book on vacation and read it at night. He then ordered, "Ask the forensics department about the investigation of the scene and the murder weapon." Have you found it?"

Qing Jian Liuli left immediately, and Nanabahara Takeno walked back to the room near the door, looking at the "corpse circle" on the ground and the red X-shaped blood-stained characters in trance.

At present, it seems that this is the abnormal place, but under what circumstances can a person be cut open in the back of the head and leave such traces?
