I'm Not a Detective

Koze Aomi was dubious about Takeshi Nanahara's answer, while Ruri Qingmi rolled her eyes. She had already guessed that Takei Nanahara's habit of taking advantage had happened again, and maybe she wanted to play the game of "whoever finds it first wins". I couldn't help but secretly reached out and pinched him - bitch, he is a paid employer, and now he is rescuing people, you can't hide clues, that would ruin our family's brand.

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her sideways, understood her eyes, and stopped arguing with her these days. He gave the atlas to Kose Aomi, and then said with a smile: "It's just a little unreliable guess. Miss Oduan may be here." Find somewhere.”

Koze Aomi looked at the old atlas in confusion, then shook her head, not very interested in this clue.

Investigators from her office had flipped through this atlas before, and had made similar speculations, but they couldn't be connected to the case at all - it didn't point to the Iwato family's mountain, so it couldn't be confirmed that it was related to the case, and it couldn't be traced. , who knows what someone wants to do by drawing so many marks on the map!

Takenori Nanabahara asked Yashima Kikuxiao again: "Does Miss Yashima know the origin of this atlas?"

Yashima Kiku had been asked this question by investigators and the police before. She immediately shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it seems to have been in Adai's room for a while. When I came over to chat with Adai last month, I saw it. Put this atlas on the desk."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and didn't ask about this matter again. She wouldn't know it clearly if he asked her. Instead, he asked curiously: "Miss Yashima and Miss Oduan have known each other for a long time?"

"Yes, it's...almost three years!" Yashima Kiku said, "We got along very well when we were working at the club and have always been friends."

"Have you always shared a room?"

Yashima Kiku shook his head and said: "No, we just lived together a year and a half ago. At that time, Adai resigned from the club and was planning to move to a place closer to Iwato-san. I happened to have the apartment lease expired, so I moved here. Live with her."

Takeshi Nanahara continued to ask: "Did Ms. Duan ever talk to you about Iwato-san?"

"Yes, we are like sisters, we chat often." Yashima Kiku said with a bit of envy and a bit of inferiority, "Adai feels very good about Iwato-san and thinks he is a person worth relying on. We...our kind It’s hard to guarantee a person’s future, and no one knows what the future will be like. It’s really good luck for Adai to be truly liked by Iwato-san.”

"Really like it?" Takeshi Nanahara said thoughtfully, "Did she say that?"

Yashima Kiku nodded: "Yes."

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said, "Then does she really like Iwato-san?"

Yashima Kiku nodded again and said seriously: "I think so. Adai also joked that she is a prosperous husband. Iwato-san can make a lot of money by knowing her."

Qin Yuanwu smiled and said: "Wang Fu Ming? When did you say that?"

Yashima Kiku was stunned for a moment, then recalled: "About two months ago, right? I can't remember clearly, it must have been a while, she came back from Iwato-san once, and she was very happy, it seems that she said it at that time. "

"Almost two months ago?" Takeshi Nanabaru touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "What about her home? She only goes to see Iwato-san once a week. Does she usually go home?"

"I haven't asked her, and I haven't paid much attention to it." Yashima Kiku hesitated and said, "But her father passed away very early, and she has a very bad relationship with her stepfather, and her relationship with her mother is not very good either. You probably won’t be able to go back very much.”

Takeshi Nanahara had seen Da Duan Dai's personal information and was not surprised by this. She was forced to work as a high-end escort girl, and it was impossible to have a happy family. He nodded and asked, "What was the situation before Miss Duan disappeared?"

Yashima Kiku has answered this question more than once, and immediately said: "That day was Tuesday. After I got up...well, I usually come back from get off work at three or four in the morning, and I usually get up in the afternoon. After I got up that day, I saw the note that Adai left for me. The note said that she went to Iwato's house and there was no need to wait for her to have dinner with her." Yashima Kiku said with some regret, "But I had already thrown the note away with the trash that day. Thought that might be useful."

Qin Yuanwu smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, what next?"

Yashima Kiku continued: "I didn't take it seriously at the time, so I ate by myself and went to work. When I got home the next day, I thought she hadn't come back from spending the night at Iwato-san's place, so I didn't care. When I got up in the afternoon, she still wasn't there. It was a little strange to see her. Normally she would stay with Iwato-san for the whole day.

Later, I went to work and took the time to make a few phone calls back to the apartment, but no one answered. I was even more surprised... Uh, Nanahara-san may not know, our work... Um, sometimes we accompany guests to cocktail parties, uh , will be alone with the guests, and often cannot fully guarantee the character of the guests, and some strange things may happen, or even be dangerous..."

When she said this, she felt that it was difficult to explain to minors, so she said a few words vaguely, "In short, we are more sensitive to things like losing contact. If she is delayed for something, she will definitely know that I will be worried, and she should tell me, so she has been It was strange that there was no news, so I tried to call the Iwato family to ask if she was okay, but it turned out that the call was answered by the detective. When I asked, I found out that Iwato-san had been robbed, and he also said that Adai had not gone. However, it was then that I found out something had happened to Adai, so I called the police directly.”

This is an unspoken rule in their industry to help each other. Good friends will care about each other's whereabouts. After that, she explained, "Iwato-san and I met at a company reception. I have his business card. That was the first time I called him, and nothing like this had happened in more than a year before."

Takeshi Nanahara looked away from her face, pondered for a moment and then asked: "Are you sure the note was left by Miss Da Duan?"

"Sure." Yashima Kiku said without hesitation, "Adai writes as if she were using a ruler underneath. All the words line up in a straight line and the bottom is flat. It's very easy to read. There's no way I'm going to admit it wrong."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded with a smile, and then asked about the other side, "What does Miss Oduan do in her daily life? Iwato-san spends most of her time practicing, and she doesn't go there very often, nor does she go home. So what about her alone?" What do you do every time?"

"She's just staying at home, waiting on the phone for Iwato-san to call her." Yashima Kiku pointed to the TV in the living room, "For entertainment, she usually watches cooking instruction programs on TV, or rents some videos and brings them back to watch. TV drama."

"Don't go out much?"

Yashima Kiku thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Except for shopping and shopping with me, she doesn't seem to go out much. Well, she has a quiet personality and doesn't even talk much."

"Really?" Takeshi Nanahara thought for a while and asked, "What about the last month or so? Is it still the same as before?"

Yashima Kiku said hesitantly: "It's almost the same. It seems that I just go to Iwato-san's place a little more frequently. Maybe their relationship is getting better? I haven't asked in detail."

"But has the number of sleepovers at Iwato's house changed? It sounds like she spends the night at Iwato-san's once a week?"

Yashima Kiku was startled for a moment, then hesitantly said: "It doesn't seem to have changed, just once a week!"

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Yashima, for wasting your time. I have no problem for the time being. I will call you if there is any problem."

Yashima Kiku quickly found her business card and gave it to him, "It's nothing. If you need anything, just come to me anytime. I also hope to be able to help Adai. She is really nice and I don't want anything to happen to her."

"We all hope she is okay." Takeshi Nanabahara smiled at her, stood up and said goodbye together with Kose Aomi and Qingmi Ruri.

…………

After leaving Da Duan Dai and Yashima Kiku's small apartment, they went to meet the taxi driver who took Da Duan Dai to Iwato's house, but the driver didn't have much information. He was dispatched by the taxi company to pick up and drop off people. In addition to her good memory - Duan Dai has a beautiful appearance and a gentle and gentle smile, and she went to a remote place. The taxi driver remembered clearly what he had given her off that day, but the two parties did not know each other. We didn't talk much for about an hour, so we couldn't provide much information.

But he didn't lie. He could indeed prove that Da Duan Dai actually arrived at Iwato's house around 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Moreover, out of professional ethics at that time, he was afraid that she might not be able to find someone, and it was not easy to get a taxi here. Taking his car back, he didn't rush to speed up after making a U-turn. He even looked through the rearview mirror twice to make sure she was taking out the keys before stepping on the accelerator and leaving.

By the time they said goodbye to the taxi driver, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Today's investigation could only end here. Kose Yomi wanted to invite them to dinner, but Takeshi Nanabahara refused as soon as he heard it was kaiseki cuisine. He was not used to it. thing.

Kose Aomi didn't force it, turned around and sent them home. She also declined Takeshi Nanahara's invitation to have a casual meal at home, and made an appointment for everyone to go up the mountain to meet Mitsuru Sugao tomorrow afternoon before leaving.

Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi waved goodbye, entered the house together, and cooked and ate together.

Qingjian Liuli ordered two more hard dishes today, and her mouth was full of oil after eating. After dinner, she sat there with a cup of digestion tea and hummed, thinking about what to eat tomorrow with great satisfaction.

Damn it, I’m willing to live like this for the rest of my life, it’s so comfortable!

After thinking about tomorrow's list, she was about to talk to Takeshi Nanahara. She found that Takeshi Nanahara was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Takeshi Nanabahara was flipping through a book in his mind. His train of thought was disturbed and he glanced at her displeasedly: "Now I need to report everything I think to you? Even if I am compensating you now, I am still your BOSS!"

Tsk, can’t you just ask?

Qingjian Ruri didn't care whether he was happy or not. Takeshi Nanahara had just deceived her and she had the moral upper hand recently. Takeshi Nanahara didn't dare to offend her. She had a psychological advantage and was not afraid of anything. She immediately asked: "Are you thinking about the case? Puzzle?”

You tell me, if you don't tell me, how can I solve the case?

Takeshi Nanahara didn't hide it anymore. If she needed to dig a hole, she would have to work hard. She took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I'm recalling the folklore of Hirano to see what is most likely to be hidden on that mountain."

Qing Jian Liuli became concerned and asked more curiously: "What is most likely to be hidden?"

"If you shut up, I might be able to remember it quickly." Takeshi Nanabahara has been recalling it for a long time, but Hirano has been a city for almost a hundred years, and there are a lot of folklore, myths, legends and even urban legends, and there are almost no related books There is no record of the nameless hill, so it is difficult to determine which "legend" can be related to it.

Or, more likely, it's a secret that only a few people know.

Qing Jian Liuli rolled her eyes at him and wanted to reach out from under the table to pinch him with her toes. Recently, for some reason, she always wanted to touch him and provoke him, even if she had an argument. After all, the opportunity was rare, but Qi Yuan Wu was still powerful and had many methods, so she didn't dare to offend him.

She thought for a while and then said: "Maybe it's not a treasure or anything like that. After all, it's just some marks on the map, not drawn by her. There's no more evidence that she's really looking for something. Maybe we should look for it again." Find other clues and don’t waste too much time and energy on this.”

Takeshi Nanahara went to recall the book again, explaining to her while distracted: "It's not just the atlas, but also other evidence. Let's not talk about whether it is a treasure, but she is indeed looking for something in the mountain. If we find out what she is looking for, , in order to determine who has the conflict of interest with her, and to analyze how he can cause a 'mysterious disappearance' - it is most likely Mitsuru Sugao, but it may also be someone else, after all, he is not the only one on the mountain."

Qingjian Liuli asked in surprise: "What other evidence is there?"

Takeshi Nanahara said casually: "Duan Daixin bought hiking clothes, hiking boots and a hiking poncho."

Qingjian Liuli recalled blankly, but did not remember what clothes were in Duandai's closet, nor did she see any hiking boots or ponchos. However, Takeshi Qingyuan glanced at her sideways and reminded: "Hiking clothes come first." The clothes on top of the pile of clothes in the closet are new but damaged and have just been washed and dried. The hiking poncho is in a bag and placed in the box with some compasses and other miscellaneous items. Hiking boots are placed at the bottom of the shoe rack in the hallway. , I can’t wear Yashima Chrysanthemum in that size, it can only be a large one.”

Qingjian Ruri still didn't remember it. When she came in, she was too busy looking at Yashima Kiku and didn't pay attention to the shoe rack. As for the clothes and poncho...

Duan Dai had a lot of clothes folded and hanging, and she didn't remember whether there were hiking clothes or ponchos inside. At that time, her focus was mainly on supervising Takeshi Shichihara to prevent him from secretly stuffing someone else's fat C into his pocket.

But she believed that Takeshi Nanabaru's titanium alloy dog ​​eyes would not be mistaken. She recalled the previous conversation between him and Yashima Kiku, and suddenly realized: "Ms. Yashima said that she seems to have been visiting Iwato-san frequently in the past month or so. Some, but Iwato-san said that he only dates her once a week, and it seems that it has never changed, so does she go, but most of the time she climbs the mountain secretly by herself?"

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and said, "Probably yes, and there must be a lot of times. The hiking shoes are very new, but the scratches on the rocks are quite serious. It is estimated that she did not walk on the mountain road at all many times. It is not like visiting Mitsuru Sugao normally, and I bought a hiking poncho on purpose, most likely because I hope to go more often on rainy days, after all, it’s easier to cover my tracks on rainy days.”

"It was definitely like hunting for something in the mountains."

Qing Jian Liuli reacted. No wonder Qi Yuanwu suspected that Da Duan Dai was looking for the unknown hill when he looked at the atlas. Even though there was no direction at all in the atlas, he was suspicious. It turned out that he had seen so many mountain climbers before. Supplies, even without the atlas, he would still be suspicious.

She immediately asked super curiously: "So, have you thought about what she is most likely looking for?"

Is it really a treasure?

I went home last night and fell asleep. I slept until 4:30 this afternoon... I was so exhausted and groggy that I might as well not rest, I regret it so much.

No more tonight, normal double updates will resume tomorrow.
