I'm Not a Detective

"Is he the adopted son? Something's broken, something's broken, something happened!"

After lunch, Yoshiko Tategawa was reviewing illustrations in the small office. The phone rang. When she answered it, she heard her high school friend Tomomi Sadamatsu screaming, but she didn't take it to heart and said casually: "What's wrong, Tomomi?" , was dumped by your boyfriend again?"

"No, something really happened!" Tomomi Tatamatsu's voice was urgent. "Just now, a blind high school student came to me with two policemen, asking about what happened nine years ago! Damn it, they didn't even say hello. They didn’t call me, they just came to my company and called me out in front of more than 20 people in the office. They also said that I was involved in a murder case and a frame-up case, which made me super embarrassed. Now everyone in our company thinks I killed someone in high school!”

"The murder frame-up case nine years ago?" Yoshiko Tategawa was stunned and asked hesitantly, "What was it specifically?"

"That thing about the dead rabbits!" Chimei Tatamatsu said bitterly, "The high school student and the two policemen took some wrong medicine, and they called me into a small room because of the two dead rabbits nine years ago. He pressed me repeatedly, insisting on telling me how I knew it was that boy Xingqian who killed those two damn rabbits."

Tategawa Yoshiko's expression changed and she quickly said, "Did you say that?"

"I didn't want to say it at first, but I have no choice. If I don't say it, I can't do it. I can only let them find that bitch Wonana." Tomomi Datamatsu said angrily, "If I don't say it, they will kill me in front of the whole company." If I take it back to the police station, how will I behave in the future?"

Yoshiko Tategawa was upset and angry for a while, feeling that her mental illness had recurred and that trouble was imminent, but Chimei Taimatsu was still chattering, "Do you think I should complain to them? The impact they had on me was too bad. The way my boss looked at me just now It’s all a bit weird, my promotion may be ruined!”

This is Japan. Where criminals have their doors splashed with paint, there is no shortage of "justice" enforcers. With the title of a criminal suspect, they directly become an alien in the workplace. They have to endure a lot of gossip and have their reputation ruined. , and you were promoted to a hammer position, if you might turn around and lay off people on the advanced list, your job would be lost.

Even if rumors spread, even blind dates and friendships will be affected. How can we find a golden husband?

Hearing how miserable she was, Tategawa Yoshiko became more and more uneasy. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Don't worry too much. Just explain it and everything will be fine."

Chimei Tatamatsu was going crazy, "How do you explain this? Before leaving, the blind high school student loudly said something that told me not to leave Hirano recently, waiting for the next step of investigation. Many people heard it!"

"It's okay, it's okay. If you think of a way, it will be fine." Yoshiko Tategawa comforted her, and said quickly, "Okay, Tomomi, I have a meeting here, we'll talk about it later."

After saying that, she didn't care that Tomomi Sadamatsu was still calling on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone directly. She hesitated and wanted to call Katsumi and Nai to ask about the situation, but she didn't know what to say after calling her - everything was over. It’s been nine years, why is there still a police investigation?

What is a blind high school student?

She hesitated whether she should avoid it, at least she shouldn't end up in the predicament of Tomomi Sadamatsu. She was taken to the company for questioning. After some hesitation, she talked to her boss, took a leave of absence on the grounds of feeling unwell, and went home to rest. After I went there, I felt that even if the police wanted to ask questions, it would be better to do it at home than at the publishing house.

But not long after she returned home, the publishing house received a call. An acquaintance at the front desk stammered: "Miss Tategawa? Okuno-san from the Hirano Police Station came to you, saying that the relationship involved nine years ago. A frame-up and murder case requires your cooperation in the investigation."

Yoshiko Tategawa was upset and angry again, but she controlled her emotions and said calmly: "It's strange, is there such a thing? I'm not feeling well today, so I asked for leave to rest at home. Could you please tell them your address and ask them come on!"

This is good. If the police are sent to your home directly, the impact should be minimal.

The voice on the phone disappeared for a while before the voice of the female receptionist came again, "Ms. Tategawa, they want you to come over. That Nanahara-san said that you were pretending to be sick because you were... uh, guilty, and said they were not in a hurry. You can wait."

After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Miss Tategawa, are you... really involved in a murder case?"

"No, that's not a murder!" Yoshiko Tategawa said loudly before she could react. She thought about it again and quickly calmed down and said, "Please ask them to answer the phone and I'll talk to them."

The voice on the microphone disappeared for a moment, and then the voice of the female receptionist continued, "They didn't answer and said it was okay. They just waited slowly and took a look at our publishing house."

"Tell them that I will go over right away and ask them to sit in my office for a while." Yoshiko Tategawa did not expect that these police officers were so shameless and insisted on meeting her in the publishing house without caring about the impact on her.

Damn it!

She put down the phone and slammed a vase to vent her anger, then put on her coat again and returned to the publishing house. As soon as she arrived at the publishing hall, she saw a blind man with a JK and two men in suits from a distance. , is preventing her colleagues from understanding her as a person.

She paused and listened for a moment, and found that the other party was speaking politely, but when it came to her matter, the blind high school student wearing sunglasses was unclear and kept talking vaguely, "We are looking for Miss Tategawa's It's hard to say what happened now. After all, it was an old case nine years ago, but most of the clues currently point to her... No, no, no, it's not that she is the murderer, we just suspect that she is the murderer..."

"That's enough!" Yoshiko Tategawa couldn't bear it anymore and showed up with a dark face. "This is slander. Only two rabbits died nine years ago. It was not a murder at all!"

Takeshi Nanahara immediately turned around and smiled: "What rabbit? I'm talking about Yuki Yuki, your old classmate. More than half of him was murdered. Wasn't it you who did it, Miss Tategawa?"

Yoshiko Tategawa was stunned for a moment, then looked at the strange expressions on her colleagues' faces, and gritted her teeth and said, "Please be careful with your words, otherwise I will definitely file a complaint against you!"

"99110." Takeshi Nanahara smiled nonchalantly, "This is the complaint number of the Hirano Police Station. It goes directly to the Internal Affairs Division. You can call it now."

Tategawa Yoshiko was speechless for a moment. After a while, she stared at Takeshi Nanahara with an ugly face and said: "Do you know how to be polite? Do you know how much trouble this will cause to others? If you have anything, you can come to me directly. Say, why do you have to talk nonsense here!"

It's really too much to go to other people's workplaces to cause trouble, ruin other people's reputations, and affect other people's career prospects!

If she could, she wanted to throw a vase on Takeshi Nanabaru's head right now.

Takeshi Nanahara is not afraid at all. He has a bulletproof helmet. What is he afraid of? He still smiled very heartlessly, "I thought you wouldn't care about this kind of thing. After all, you have never cared about other people's feelings before. There is no evidence for one or two people. No." Is it said everywhere that Yuki Yuki is the murderer? Okay, Miss Tategawa, let’s talk about business now. Why did you do what you did nine years ago? Why do you think Yuki Yuki is the murderer? If you really have evidence, I will go back one by one and apologize publicly to help you restore your reputation."

After a pause, he took out another list and showed it, "Also, don't waste time saying that you have heard the rumors too. We spent most of the day and even called and visited to find you. You little ones?" The gang is the source of the rumors. The last one pointed to you, who else can you point to?"

The source of the rumor was indeed Yoshiko Tategawa. I didn’t expect that nine years later, everything would be fine, and now someone would find out about it. He hesitated and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Of course I am sure that it was not a rumor."

Takeshi Nanahara immediately stretched out his hands: "Did you see Yuki Yuki kill those two rabbits with your own eyes? Do you mind holding my hand and saying it again?"

Yoshiko Tategawa looked at his two hands and asked puzzledly: "Why?"

"Because I don't believe you." Takeshi Nanahara said frankly, "I work part-time as a psychic. Hold my hand and say it again, let me feel whether you are lying. If you are not lying, I will apologize immediately."

The colleague of Yoshiko Tategawa next to him warned: "Tategawa, this is the famous psychic detective mentioned in the newspaper before. I heard that it is very accurate. Just let him try it!"

As soon as Tategawa Yoshiko heard this, he remembered who Takeshi Nanabahara was. After all, he had been in newspapers many times before, but he didn't want to test his skills. He looked around and whispered: "Can we talk alone? ?”

Tategawa Yoshiko's colleagues looked at her even more strangely, but Takeshi Nanahara didn't care and said with a smile: "Then change places."

Tategawa Yoshiko silently led them back to her small office. It seemed that she was doing well after graduating from university and was considered to be among the top students in her class. When Takeshi and Nanahara sat down, she whispered Asked: "It's Yukinamae who asked me... No, it's Yukinamae's family who asked you to come?"

"Oh? Have you paid attention to the situation of Kozengumi?" Takeshi Nanabahara said with a smile, "Did you not expect that the matter would be so big? Have you ever felt guilty for a while? Are you afraid that his family will come to settle the score with you? But this time we are here to deal with him The family has nothing to do with it, we just want to know what happened nine years ago."

Yoshiko Tategawa was silent for a while and said with a very bad expression: "I didn't spread rumors. That day... I forgot the specific day, but it was not far from the cultural festival. I was in the club that day preparing for the cultural festival. He didn’t leave even after school. He had been painting display boards in the corridor. I saw him walking from the breeding area to the school gate from a distance. Then the next day I heard that the rabbit had been killed, so I casually said to Kazuna. He did it."

Qingjian Liuli couldn't help but ask: "You only saw him leaving from there, and then you decided that he was the murderer?"

"It was very late at the time, and everyone in the school had already left. He walked in that direction toward the school gate. It looked very suspicious at first sight!" Yoshiko Tategawa insisted, "Later, it was proved that he did have mental problems. Otherwise, why would you hurt someone in public and be sent to a mental hospital?"

"But you can't be so sure that he is the murderer. Maybe he was just passing by, and it was because you slandered him behind his back that he developed psychological problems!" Qingjian Liuli was still very angry, "You know he has become What's going on? He locked himself in the cellar for seven years, and his whole life is ruined!"

Tategawa Yoshiko said in shock: "Isn't he in a nursing home in Tokyo?"

Qingjian Ruri wanted to answer, but Takeshi Nanahara waved his hand to signal her to stop, and asked with a smile: "Ignoring Yuki Yuki in advance, since you stayed at school that day, who else did you see?"

Tategawa Yoshiko was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and said, "No more, I only saw him."

Takeshi Nanahara stretched out his hands and smiled, gesturing for her to put her hands up and repeat again, but Yoshiko Tategawa refused to cooperate, and he did not force it, and said with a smile: "I checked, at that time you and Yuki Yuki were competing for a recommendation spot, right? ?You didn’t argue with him, and the rabbit just happened to be dead, so you framed him conveniently. It was a small revenge, but it doesn’t matter. I shouldn’t argue with you about this debt. You should have been in school at the time. I just I wonder if you saw anything then.”

Yoshiko Tategawa insisted: "I did not frame him, I only saw him at the time."

Takeshi Nanahara stood up and smiled at Okuno Taiji: "There's nothing we can do, Officer Okuno, take Miss Tategawa back to the police station. I'll go talk to her boss."

Yoshiko Tategawa said with an ugly face: "I will hire a lawyer."

"Of course, this is your right. You can sue us later." Takeshi Nanahara didn't care at all. He smiled and was about to go out. "But that will happen in the future. I will go and explain to your boss why you were arrested." Please assist in the investigation, your colleagues will definitely be interested in this issue as well.”

"You have no evidence!" Tategawa Yoshiko guessed with her buttocks, and she could also guess what the consequences would be after Takeshi Nanabaru said it.

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "You didn't have one at the time either. We are just relying on guessing. What does it matter if we talk about it?"

"Wait!" Yoshiko Tategawa didn't want to be taken away in public, let alone make the school's events public, even if it was just a guess. After all, she knew the power of rumors, and hesitantly confirmed, "You really don't intend to pursue Sachi. What happened before?"

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "As I said, it's not my job to settle that debt with you. We just want to know who else you saw at that time."

"After that, you will leave immediately, stop harassing me, and stop taking care of this matter?"

"certainly!"

It was also the first time for Tategawa Yoshiko to encounter this kind of thing. He was hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it. He just wanted to send them away first. He hesitated and said: "I won't admit that I said these words, but I was I also saw someone, but I didn’t know that person, he was probably a first-year student. It was already dark after I finished drawing the display board. When I left the school, I saw a first-year boy walking in front of me. Carrying a bucket bag.”

Takeshi Nanahara immediately asked: "A first-year student at that time? Are you sure? Can you still recognize him when you see him now?"

Yoshiko Tategawa shook his head hesitantly: "He walked in front of me. I only saw his back, but he is definitely a first-year student. The freshman uniform is easy to recognize."

"What about body shape?"

Tategawa Yoshiko glanced at Takeshi Nanawara: "She's about the same size as you, taller and a bit thinner."

Qin Yuanwu thought for a while and then asked: "Remember carefully, what other characteristics are there."

Yoshiko Tategawa tried hard to recall for a while, but it had been too long. It was good to be able to remember this incident. The memory was too vague. Even if Takeshi Nanahara guided him to recall for a while, she could only provide "first grade students" A boy, tall and thin, carrying a bucket bag" these three characteristics.

But this is enough. There are only more than 400 people in the first grade. After excluding them, there are at most dozens of people left. It is not difficult to check.
