I'm Not a Detective

"Nanahara-san, hello."

The people in the high-end car seemed to have been paying attention to the surrounding situation. When they saw Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi, they got out of the car. They were polite and bowed slightly from a distance and started to say hello.

Even though she was still feeling aggrieved, Qing Jian Liuli quickly bowed in return. When she looked up, she found that she was a strange woman in her thirties, with neat short hair, fair complexion, and delicate eyebrows. She was wearing an exquisite and decent women's business attire, with a pinned neckline. There is a "balance sunflower medal" - a sixteen-petal golden sunflower with a scale in the center. The overall meaning is "fairness and justice under the sun" or "let fairness and justice be bathed in the sun."

He's a lawyer!

Takeshi Nanahara carefully looked at the female lawyer and judged that the other party was a rich man. Even though he had a bad day today, he was very professional and ethical. He immediately walked up to greet him with a friendly smile: "The distinguished guest is here. I have never seen him before." It’s really rude to contact you from afar.”

"No, I'm presumptuous." The female lawyer handed over her business card with a faint smile on her face, "I am Kose Aomi, and I don't know if this should be considered the first meeting with Nanahara, but from now on Please take good care of me.”

Takeshi Nanahara took the business card and looked at it. He suddenly remembered it and said with a sudden smile: "It turns out it's you. Mr. Kose, please sit down in the room."

This "teacher" is just a respectful title in social customs. In Japan, writers, doctors and lawyers are all considered to be people who can help others. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they are generally called "teacher" or "sir", which is completely different from teachers in school.

"Excuse me." Kose Aomi smiled lightly. She seemed to be a serious person by nature, but she was well-versed in people and polite, and she seemed to be extremely well-educated.

As Aomi Koze took her briefcase from the car as she spoke, Takeshi Nanahara went to open the door. Seeing that Ruri was confused, Kiyo quickly followed and asked in a low voice: "Who is this Mr. Kose, did you know him before? "

"You should also know each other. Do you still remember the previous murder case of the barrister?" Takeshi Nanahara smiled and whispered, "This is one of the suspects at the time, Aomi Koze, a student of barrister Jin Manxiu."

"It turns out it's her!" Qing Jian Liuli suddenly realized and remembered the name.

Almost two months ago, Barrister Kim Man-soo was killed three times in one night. He was poisoned, choked, and had an arrow inserted into his chest. He died miserably. In the end, Takeshi Nanahara took her to find the murderer. Kose Aomi was one of the suspects. One, Takeshi Nanahara gathered the murderer before he could find her, and no one had ever met each other.

So has the suspect turned into the client?

She thought to herself, and quickly took off her shoes and went to the kitchen to make tea. When the tea came out, Takeshi Nanahara and Aomi Koze were already politely taking their seats.

She brought tea to Kose Aomi and Nanahara Takeshi, then knelt down and sat next to them, curious about what was going on. Kose Aomi took a sip of tea and asked Nanabaru Takeshi seriously: "Nanahara-san , I took the liberty to come here this time, mainly because I have something to ask - have you ever heard of parallel universes?"

Takeshi Nanawara raised his eyebrows, looked at Yusei Koze carefully again, and said with a smile: "I have read some related science fiction works. Teacher Kose, is this... a client encountered something strange?"

Koze Aomi glanced at Takeshi Nanabaru appreciatively. She felt that talking to smart people would save time and effort. She nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it is related to an important client of our firm. The specific situation is a bit unbelievable. In the end, we will investigate To no avail, I felt that the incident was very bizarre, so I thought of experts like Nanabahara-san who are experts in solving special incidents."

"I would like to hear the details." Takeshi Nanabahara is also very interested in the topic of "parallel universe".

Kose Aomi immediately opened her briefcase, took out a piece of information and handed it to Takeshi Nanahara, asking him to read and listen to the explanation. She said: "This is an old client of our firm who was involved in a murder case last Wednesday. , the evidence currently held by the police is relatively sufficient, and the case is a bit difficult..."

As she explained, Takeshi Nanahara slowly flipped through the documents, and Ruri Qingmi hurriedly came to him to read together.

This case happened last Wednesday. A woman named Da Duan Dai went missing. It happened that the police were having a headache about the serial murder case and were desperately deploying police forces to prepare for another large-scale search. For a while, they couldn't care about such a small case, but even if the police Only a group of newcomers from the Life Safety Section were dispatched, but they quickly followed the clues and arrested the suspect - the suspect's name is Iwato Yumo. He is a low-key rich man who owns shares in several large companies and is angry about being robbed. Well, he became a murder suspect again.

As for the specific situation...

Da Duan Dai, whose pseudonym is Koko, has been acquainted with Iwato Yu. The two have a long-term relationship. Many people know that the female friend who lived with Da Duan Dai also gave testimony, proving that Da Duan Dai said she was going to Iwato on that day. Home.

Duan Dai did go. She called a taxi. The police had already found the taxi driver. The taxi driver testified that he had delivered her to Iwatō's door. They could confirm the time through the receipt - in the morning. Arrived at 10:55.

At the same time, the police also found a passerby who was passing by during inquiries nearby. This passerby could also testify that when passing by the door of Iwato's house, he happened to see Duan Dai entering Iwato's house.

Then there was no evidence that Duan Dai had left. The Iwato family was located in a remote place. There was not even a bus stop nearby. If you wanted to leave by yourself, you had to call a taxi, otherwise you would have to walk a long way. However, there was no phone call from the Iwato family that day. No one from the taxi company or her relatives and friends saw her leaving on foot or hitchhiking, and Duan Dai disappeared.

At this time, the situation was very clear. The witness testimony was extremely sufficient and could 100% prove that Duan Dai had indeed seen Iwato Yu and then disappeared. Therefore, Iwato Yu was naturally listed as the first suspect.

But Tomo Iwato did not admit that Da Duan Dai had been there that day. When taking notes, he still insisted that he was robbed in the early morning of Wednesday. The robbers took away all the cash and gold bars in his safe, and also gagged and tied him. In the living room for a whole day, he had no choice but to call for help. He was rescued only when the hourly worker came in the evening. If Da Duan Dai had been here, he would have been rescued long ago. The fact that he was tied up until the evening meant that she had never been here at all. So now Da Duan Dai Dai's disappearance had nothing to do with him.

Of course, the police did not believe this nonsense. They suspected that his so-called robbery was just a self-directed act in order to escape guilt. They believed that he had an emotional entanglement with the victim and that it was very possible that he was loved and hated. They had killed him and then destroyed his body and destroyed all traces. —When people arrive at your house, they disappear and never leave again. Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?

At least the police believe that Iwato Yu’s motive for committing the crime is very clear, and the witness evidence is quite sufficient. As long as the body and the murder weapon are found, the case can be closed. They even searched his house and found some large pieces of Duan Dai’s “sanmao” and a little bit of blood—— -Human hair, Yin hair and eyebrows, collectively called "three hairs", are found from the bedroom to the living room, and the little blood stain is in the kitchen.

But the two have been in a long-term relationship, and they are adults. It is not unusual to have a large "Sanmao" in the house, and a little blood stain in the kitchen is far from fatal. Iwato Yu explained that she was accidentally in the kitchen one time. A cut finger barely made sense and couldn't prevent him from being released on bail, but the police thought he was a bigger suspect and were still circling him.

…………

Qingmi Ruri listened and watched, and figured out the general reason. Seeing Takeshi Nanahara's thoughtful expression, she couldn't help but ask Kose Aomi carefully: "Then... Teacher Kose, do you think Iwato-san is... Innocent?"

From her point of view, Iwato Yu's suspicion is really too great. The police have no problem at all regarding him as a suspect. It is useless to come to Nanabahara Takeshi!

Maybe Takeshi Nanahara went there and sniffed around, and immediately sent Yu Iwato to prison.

Kose Aomi took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said calmly: "I believe he is innocent. I have asked him repeatedly, and he insisted that he saw nothing in the living room that day."

Qingjian Liuli immediately said: "It's very possible that he is lying!"

Kose Aomi shook her head and said: "There is no need for him to lie to me. Even if he admits to killing in front of me, I will not report him. I will still defend him with all my strength. What's more, the current situation is very unfavorable to him. It’s totally pointless for him to lie to me again.”

The main reason is that after Iwato Yu was robbed on Wednesday, he immediately reported the crime without notifying his lawyer and took detailed notes. Now there is a missing case of Daduan Dai. There is a conflict between the two. The police have basically determined that he reported the crime for the first time. He was lying. What he signed at that time was very likely to become ironclad evidence to convict him in the future.

At least, he is completely unable to get rid of the suspicion. The police will follow him and investigate. If they find some other evidence, it is not impossible to send him directly for examination.

Kose Aomi briefly explained the situation, and then added, "And Iwato-san is a smart man. I don't believe that he would use a poor excuse like forging a home invasion and robbery to try to get away with it. Even if he said "Miss Duan" when taking the transcript, He did come and then left on his own, even if it is still unbelievable, the situation will be a hundred times better than now."

If she could travel through time and space, she would return to Wednesday evening as soon as possible, and immediately slap Yu Iwato three times, telling him to keep his mouth shut, not to make notes or sign before the lawyer arrives, and not to deceive others and himself—— Her teacher, barrister Kim Man-soo, died. A large number of old clients originally wanted to terminate their contracts. Now if they can't solve Iwato Yu's troubles, it will be another major blow to their firm's reputation. Maybe even more clients will want to terminate their contracts.

Takeshi Nanahara put down the document and nodded, smiling: "That's right. The problem is that he admitted that he had been in the living room that day, but had not seen Miss Da Duan, and the police have a large number of witnesses to prove that Miss Da Duan had been there. It's impossible that he can't miss it, so Mr. Koze feels like a time and space mystery, and Miss Dadan seems to have walked into the Iwato family in another parallel universe?"

Koze Aomi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, we have investigated the background and financial situation of all the witnesses. There is no possibility that they were bribed to frame Iwato-san, and indeed we have not found any evidence that Miss Oduan has appeared again. , it was like she walked through the door of Iwato’s house, and then went to another parallel universe, and just disappeared, which is completely unexplainable.”

Qingjian Liuli thought for a while and asked carefully: "Could it be that...Miss Duan went to the wrong door? Is it possible that she went to the next door?"

Kose Aomi immediately replied: "Iwato-san has no neighbors, the land is privately owned by him, and he only has a house there, and even if there are neighbors, Miss Duan will pass by dozens of times a year, and it is impossible to identify the wrong door. "

That's right...

Qing Jian Liuli was speechless. After thinking about it, it was Iwato Yu who did it. Otherwise, there would be no reason for anyone to watch Duan Dai go in, but the people in the room couldn't see her, unless there really is such a thing as time travel in the world...

But how is this possible? It’s not scientific at all!

"It's interesting." Takeshi Nanahara also became interested, picked up the document and read it again. It was 99.99% impossible for this to be time travel. Da Duan Dai was not struck by lightning, so how could he possibly travel through time while walking? But this is indeed true. It's a mystery, and he wants to understand the situation, if it's true...

Seeing that he was indeed moved, Koze Aomi silently took out a thick white envelope and put it on the table. It seemed that she had done her homework in advance and knew that she had to feed Nanabaru before she could use him. She said politely: "Nanahara Classmate, this is the situation. Iwato-san insists that he is innocent, and he does not want to be investigated by the police for a long time. He hopes to find an excellent detective to solve this mystery. After thinking about it, you are the most reliable. Can you please help me? Get Miss Duan back?"

No matter life or death, as long as her client can be proven innocent!

I accidentally fell asleep last night. I'm late for a long time. Sorry...
