I'm Not a Detective

Takeshi Nanahara walked around the crime scene, had a good chat with the client and parties involved, and finally accepted the commission and started the investigation.

He first asked Kose Aomi to take him to the resort, and chatted with the witness who saw Da Duan Dai entering the villa last Wednesday. He found no signs of lying on the witness' part, so he asked Kose Aomi to take him to the resort. Take a look at Duan Dai's residence - whether she really has a conflict of interest with Sugao cannot be guessed, it must be investigated personally.

Kose Aomi is not disappointed that he did not solve the mystery "instantly". Their firm also has long-term investigators who have been working on it for almost a week, and they have no idea that "the two ends are blocked, and the person in the middle is gone." With no clue, Takeshi Nanahara is the last straw. He can only despair if he can't handle her.

At least, Takeshi Nanabahara seems to be very confident. He is still calm and able to laugh when faced with such a difficult problem. He is much better than those investigators who frown and think hard and start to lose their hair.

Takeshi Nanabahara was not idle in the car, and asked with a smile: "Are Teacher Koze and Miss Oduan familiar with each other?"

"I'm not familiar with it." Kose Aomi said while driving. "Iwato-san is a very good customer, but he never causes trouble. I didn't have much dealings with him before. I only found out about her after the incident."

Takeshi Nanabahara was not disappointed and asked again: "What about Mitsuru Sugao?"

Koze Aomi thought for a while and said: "Master Sugao, I have heard his name, but I have never seen him. He is somewhat famous in Hirano, but it is not as you guessed. He is different from those money-making sects. He attracted few believers and spent most of the year practicing hard in the mountains with his disciples, and the disciples came and went freely. I once met a person who failed to start a business and followed him to practice. Then he cheered up and started again. Now It’s been pretty good.”

It was indeed not a cult, but Takeshi Nanahara said with a thoughtful expression: "There are still disciples? The land occupied should be quite large. Does he pay the rent?"

Koze Aomi was stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "They occupy the mountainside spring well area, but Iwato-san doesn't care about the small amount of land rent. If Master Sugao is willing to speak, Iwato-san will give him more."

Qin Yuanwu asked perseveringly: "Was it given or not given? How much was given? He has been practicing hard in the mountains all year round, and he always has to wear clothes and eat. Where does the food and supplies come from?"

Koze Aomi was slightly startled, and couldn't help but lightly tap the brakes, and said hesitantly: "I probably didn't pay the land rent, and Iwato-san wouldn't take it if I gave it to him. As for his life, his disciples are supporting him, and they are all A group of people who voluntarily escape from the world, I heard that they make a living by collecting mountain products..."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded: "So, not only did they not pay the land rent, but they also sold the produce on the mountain?"

Koze Aomi thought for a while, accelerated again, and muttered: "But even so, Iwato-san won't take it too seriously. He has no reason to frame Iwato-san for this. It will do him no good at all, and Miss Duan disappeared at the entrance of the villa, I can't think of any connection with them?"

Takeshi Nanabahara nodded and said nothing more. He had no clue about the case now and needed to collect more information. He closed his eyes and continued to wander around the "Iwato Family" in his mind, hoping to see if he could find out more.

As for the rest, let’s go to the mountains tomorrow to see what’s going on.

…………

Kose Aomi drove her car back along the same route. After driving for less than thirty minutes, she stopped in front of an ordinary apartment building on the outskirts of Hirano City. She turned to Takeshi Nanabahara and Ruri Kiyomi and said, "Here we are, Miss Oduan. Live in room 303."

Qingjian Liuli was also thinking about how to kill people from a "secret room" along the way. Hearing this, he opened the door and got out of the car. He turned around and helped Takeshi Nanabahara out of habit, but he didn't realize until everyone had helped him out. His eyes were not blind at all and he didn't need anyone's support. He slapped his hand angrily.

Damn you, I'm used to taking care of you now!

Takeshi Nanahara glared at her. This low-level employee was getting more and more presumptuous. After the compensation was completed and this page was completely revealed, she could no longer cry over the old debt. She had to deal with her again, but it didn't matter. What matters is making money now.

He followed Kose Aomi to room 303. Kose Aomi knocked on the door. A young woman in her twenties, thirty-four, with a pretty face opened the door immediately. When she saw Kose Aomi, she said enthusiastically: " Hello, Teacher Xiaoze, come in quickly."

Kose Aomi smiled lightly and said politely: "I'm sorry to waste your time again, Miss Yashima." After saying that, she turned to Takeshi Nanahara and introduced, "This is Miss Oduan's roommate, Miss Yashima Kiku. .”

Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi also introduced themselves politely. When Yashima Kiku heard Takeshi Nanahara's name, he was surprised after thinking about it: "It's the famous psychic detective Takeshi Nanahara in the newspaper... Sorry, it's Takeshi Nanahara." San?"

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said, "It's me, but I'm not a famous detective."

"That's great!" Yashima Kiku seemed to have a very good relationship with Da Duan Dai and was quite intelligent. She immediately bowed seriously and said, "Please, please rescue Adai as soon as possible."

"I will try my best." Qi Yuanwu couldn't guarantee whether Da Duan Dai would live or die, so he could only say this.

"Thank you very much, please come in." Yashima Kiku became even more enthusiastic and greeted the three of them into the room. By the way, she bowed briefly to Qingmi Ruri and said a word of thanks. She feels a little bit secretive - she is also a public relations woman. The reason why she hasn't gone to work yet is because Kose Aomi called her before arriving and asked her to wait at home and go to work later.

Although she was delayed in going to work, she didn't show any signs of impatience, and planned to take out the prepared snacks and hot tea to serve the guests. Takeshi Nanabahara looked around the small living room, feeling slightly uncomfortable, probably because Iwato For comparison, Youna’s super large and spacious living room.

He stopped Yashima's busy work and said with a smile: "Miss Yashima, please don't be polite. Business is more important. I want to see Miss Duan's room."

"Yes, please come here." Yashima Kiku was very docile and obedient. She immediately bent down slightly and took him into the apartment with small steps. "The police also came to check before, but no one has touched it since. I didn't even clean it." I didn’t dare.”

Takeshi Nanahara nodded with a smile, entered Da Duan Dai's room, looked around, and found that Da Duan Dai's bedroom was quite traditional, basically in a standard Japanese style. There is no bed, people sleep directly on the tatami, there is a closet on the wall, and a shamisen is hung. There is an elegant small book table and a cushion by the window.

The only modern thing was a rather large dressing table, filled with bottles and cans, and a large dressing mirror beside it.

It is probably due to professional requirements, and the makeup and clothing requirements are relatively high. It has to be like this, which kind of ruins the overall style.

Takeshi Nanahara did not shy away from suspicion and wandered around the bedroom. First, I took off the shamisen and took a look. I found that it was well maintained and was played frequently. It was not considered a decoration. I then opened the closet and took a closer look. There were bedding, clothes and some personal belongings inside, but there was no Doraemon.

Qingjian Liuli followed him, curiously observing the details, and at the same time supervising Nanabahara Takebetsu's random behavior. She noticed that he was vaguely smelling carefully, and quickly moved her body to cover him, but she didn't say anything - she could guess Takeshi Izanahara wanted to remember the smell of Dai Duandai, which might help him find the person, but sniffing someone else's clothes was a bit perverted. It was not good for outsiders to see him, so he had to block him.

Takeshi Nanahara didn't pay attention at all. After rummaging through the clothes, he went to look through the sundries. After rummaging through the clothes, he walked to the small desk with thought. He sat down cross-legged and began to check the magazines and books on it. Qingmi Liuli made him I rearranged the messy things and hurriedly followed.

The magazines were nothing special. They were mainly about fashion and clothing. They were only related to the nature of her work. Takeshi Nanahara probably flipped through them and put them aside. The books were a bit strange. They were mainly books introducing the local customs and customs of Hirano. There is a detailed map book.

He read them one by one, putting the ones he had seen before on one side, and the ones he had not seen on the other side, ready to take them back and interrogate them carefully. He had already memorized the Hirano map, mainly because he was concerned about large sections. What is Dai looking at? Many pages of the atlas are marked. Some places are circled, some are crossed, some are circled first and then crossed, and some are marked with asterisks. .

Qingjian Liuli looked at it for a few times and asked in a low voice: "Is she looking for somewhere?"

Takeshi Nanahara shook his head: "It's not her."

Qingjian Liuli asked in confusion: "Not her?"

Takeshi Nanahara took a fashion magazine for her to compare. Da Duan Dai would sometimes circle around the magazine to decide what to buy, "At least she wasn't looking for it at first. The two of them have different pen strength. She is more serious." , also has a more cautious personality. He draws circles very neatly and makes marks in a strict manner, but the person in the atlas is much more casual. He does not care whether it is round or flat when he draws a circle, and he is angry when he makes a cross, wishing he could tear up the paper Cut through them all."

Then he flipped through the atlas and looked at the publication date at the back, "Published more than thirty years ago, this map has long been out of date. There is no need for Da Duan Dai to keep it. It should be someone who wants to find a certain place but has never found it." After finding it, the atlas finally fell into Duan Dai’s hands.”

Qingjian Liuli asked curiously: "Then where are they looking for?"

Takeshi Nanahara looked through it carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, she didn't make any marks on the atlas, but I guess..."

Qingmi Ruri thought for a while and then reacted: "Is it the mountain behind Iwato-san's villa? Her purpose of approaching Iwato-san is not pure, but she actually wants the mountain? Is this a conflict of interest between her and Master Guanwei? "

"It may not be that you want that mountain, or there is another possibility." Takeshi Nanahara touched his chin and said, "For example, someone has been looking for a certain place, but has not found it for many years. Da Duan Dai was deeply impressed by this , but it was an accident that she met Yu Iwato, and it was also an accident that she went up the mountain with him, but she happened to see a place that roughly matched her memory, and she suspected that it was the right place, and wanted to find something on the mountain."

Qingjian Ruri also touched her chin and muttered: "It turned out that Master Sugao's group of people were too much of a nuisance. She had to drive them away first if she wanted to find something, so she tried hard to become Mrs. Iwato? Or maybe Master Sugao was just lying around on the mountain? Year, you were also looking for something, so you used some mysterious means to eliminate your competitors in advance?"

Is this really a piece of fat?

But that piece of fat is not Iwatoyu, but something from his mountain?

On the surface, Dai Duandai has nothing to do with Mitsuru Sugao, but is he actually a competitor?

The modus operandi is so mysterious, and the motive is so complicated?

Qingmi Ruri was a little overloaded again, and Kose Aomi was afraid of disturbing Nanabahara Takeshi's search, and didn't think she could help. She kept waiting at the door, but seeing their heads pressed together, they kept muttering softly. Gu, couldn't help but come in and ask: "Nanahara-san, have you discovered anything?"

Takeshi Nanahara turned around and smiled: "Not yet."

Although Dadan Dai and Sugao Mitsuru are looking for something somewhere, it is just a guess without evidence, but Takeshi Nanabahara cannot rule out that possibility for the time being, so this matter will be interesting. What are the two people looking for?

Maybe it's valuable, he has to dig it out first and see!
