I'm Not a Detective

"Nanahara-san, this is the book you want."

After communicating on the phone, Okuno Taiji, Hidakaji and Nanabaru Takeshi arrived near the Shochiku Drum Museum almost at the same time. On the way, they also went to Matsuuchi's house and picked up a book from Matsuuchi Yuuto's study. Because the purpose was unclear, it was put into an evidence bag and is now in the hands of Takeshi Nanabahara.

"Thank you." Nanabahara Takeda thanked him and took it. After checking that the title of the book was correct, he turned to Eri Nakano and said sternly, "Ms. Nakano, we can end this case."

Nakano Eri glanced at him. She had just asked Nanabaru Takeshi what he had discovered, but Nanabahara Takeshi said that the props and characters were not complete now, and it was too laborious to talk about it. He kept saying wait, which made her want to fight with Qingmi Ruri. However, after getting in touch with each other in the past two or three days, everyone's trust was somewhat increased, so she didn't say anything more and went to the art museum first.

This time it was a formal arrest. As long as the facts of the crime were confirmed and the arrest warrant was filed, Tatsuo Uchii could be sent to a detention center until she went to court. Her aura was obviously much sharper, and the domineering power of the state violence machine to crush everything was revealed. Undoubtedly, leading the team all the way in frightened the museum staff into retreating.

"What happened?!" Uchii Tatsuo came out quickly, accompanied by bank representatives.

Nakano Eri adjusted her glasses, and a sharp white light flashed on the lenses, signaling Okuno to torture the person, and said calmly: "Naii-san, you are under arrest. Now please cooperate with the police and don't do anything unnecessary."

Takeshi Nanabahara stood behind her, close to his stab-proof clothing, and reminded softly: "There is also "Okinoshima Four Scrolls", which need to be taken away together."

Uchii Tatsuo's face remained calm, but the bank representative couldn't accept it at first. He blocked Okuno Taiji and said excitedly: "Wait a minute, what is your reason? Are you crazy? The auction will be held in three days. , now you want to take away the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls"? Do you know how much damage this will cause us? Or is it because of that reporter, what evidence do you have? "

Takeshi Nanabaru stood behind Eri Nakano and said with a smile: "Representative, please don't get excited. Your heart is not very good. I'm afraid you will die suddenly. Well, if you want to say it here, that's fine. You can take out "Okinoshima Four Branches" "Volume", I will prove it to you, and I guarantee that you will not care whether we take those four paintings with us or not, otherwise you can complain to us any way you want later."

The bank representative was stunned. He seemed to have thought of some possibility. His expression turned pale instantly. He couldn't help but immediately turned to look at Tatsuo Uchii. Tatsuo Uchii calmly turned around and walked towards the basement, saying calmly: "Then please bring it on!"

He knew that people like him had to die, and he was mentally prepared for it. The safe was quickly opened, and the "Four Volumes of Okinoshima" was unfolded and spread out on the table again. Takeshi Nanabahara leaned over to take a closer look again. , sincerely praised: "Actually, it's quite remarkable. It's almost perfect. Even if Nori Ichinose comes back to life, when he sees this painting, he will have to recall whether he painted it himself."

The bank representative became more and more convinced of that possibility. His lips began to tremble and turned a little purple. He asked in a trembling voice, "Is this a fake? What's the evidence?"

While he was talking, he subconsciously curled his fingers, as if he wanted to hold something and stab Takeshi Nanabahara to death, so that he would not say what he said next. The bank he worked for was just a local private bank in Hirano, and it had just suffered from the bursting of the bubble. There are a lot of bad debts. If the 170 million yen just loaned out and the additional 40 million yen in cash from the investment auction cannot be recovered...

The consequences were extremely serious, and even made depositors who were already extremely uneasy due to the continuous bank failures in various places panic again. They completely lost confidence in the banks and transferred their funds to flee. It is not an exaggeration to say that the consequences were fatal.

The bank representative was almost scared to death. Takeshi Nanabahara didn't care about the life or death of the bank, and the bank didn't give him a yen. He took out an antenna pen, swung it into a pointer, pointed at Qiu Zhijuan and said with a smile: "Everyone Please look here. This section records the scene of Okinoshima residents fishing overnight for cherry blossom shrimp during the traditional November shrimp fishing season. It is very realistic and vivid. It is a beautiful poem about the sweat of ancient working people. But this is not the point. The point is It is the brilliant starry sky displayed on the vast sea.

Please see, this is the constellation Serpent, and intersecting with Serpent is the constellation Ophiuchus. The whole constellation is large and wide, and it is very conspicuous in the night sky in November. After all, it corresponds to the "heavy snow" in the solar term. Therefore, the painter used the "pencil drawing" line drawing technique to show all the main stars, which are almost exactly the same as the Ophiuchus that we can see with the naked eye now.

Of course, there is nothing strange about this. Nearly four hundred years is a long time for humans, but it is only a blink of an eye for a star. It should not change. If there is an error, it can be directly determined to be a fake, so I didn’t notice it at first. Flawed, until I was... well, until I was eating lamb ribs and had an idea for one from Yuuto Matsuuchi's collection. "

Having said this, Takeshi Nanahara took out the evidence bag and showed the title of the book in the bag to everyone, "Please see, this is the book "The New Star at the Foot of Ophiuchus" by the German astronomer Kepler. The content is from the book The name tells you something. Kepler observed this supernova explosion that suddenly emitted huge light under the constellation Ophiuchus in October 1604..."

"etc!"

Qing Jian Liuli knew that the overall situation should be the top priority, but she couldn't help it anymore, and now she really understood why some people would be unkind and would wantonly deprive others of their lives, because now she wanted to stab the bastard Takeshi Nanabahara. ——The bullshit mutton ribs are all my credit. This black-hearted bitch stole my credit and then shows off here!

With a dark face, she asked through gritted teeth: "Didn't you say that supernovae are difficult to observe with the naked eye? What's going on now!"

"That's a good question!" Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her appreciatively and said with a smile, "There are indeed only a handful of supernova explosions that can be observed with the naked eye in human history. The most recent one that can be observed with the naked eye is the 1987A supernova explosion. The light is so weak that ordinary people would be blinded trying to find it. It is not a problem if the artist does not include it in the painting. However, Kepler Supernova SN1604 or 1604A is completely different. It is in the Milky Way. The explosion was very close to the earth, only about 13,000 light-years away - for celestial bodies in the universe, it is really very close.

Among the supernova explosions recorded by humans, it ranks among the top three in brightness. 1006 Lupus, which is slightly stronger than it, is said to be 'shaped like a half moon, with horns, and can be used to detect objects', which roughly means That is, you can even read a book at night using the light of this supernova explosion.

Then the question arises. Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered the world and established the shogunate in the eighth year of Taisho, that is, 1603. At the same time, through a large number of notes written by Ichinose Nori's friends, we can clearly know that "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" was written by Ichinose Fan spent two years creating the Four Seasons in 1604 and 1605 in the ninth and tenth years of Taisho. He also died in the winter of 1605. When he was writing "Okinoshima Four Scrolls", Kepler The supernova hangs in the night sky, and it is very bright, even brighter than the constellation Ophiuchus itself. Why didn't Nori Ichinose draw it? In the painting in front of me, even the not-so-bright star Beta Ophiuchus has been circled several times. "

Except for Uchii Tatsuo who looked at the painting and remained silent, it took the others a long time to digest this series of high-density information. However, they all looked at the painting speechless and could not find any words to refute.

This is really not a flaw. It makes no logical sense at all. Unless the person who painted the painting in front of me, even if he went to Okinoshima for careful inspection, could roughly figure out the original painting from the handwritten notes of Ichinose Noritomo. What content did he read? He even strictly researched the life of common people in Japan during the Warring States Period, but he failed to see the same starry sky as Nori Ichinose. The Kepler Supernova 1604A explosion only lasted for more than two years. The forger was born too late. Yes, I didn’t look at it.

The forger has done his best to be as perfect as possible. He didn't make the same mistakes as the author of mystery novels. He didn't draw any more stars. He just didn't learn the science class well. He forgot that there is such a thing as a supernova and didn't check it out. As a result, the most conspicuous celestial phenomena in the night sky of 1604 and 1605 were missed, leaving only a few minor flaws.

Not only did the bank representative's lips tremble, but his whole body began to tremble. His attendant hurriedly went out to find a phone, intending to find an astronomer to ask, in case there was a supernova explosion in 1604, and it was particularly conspicuous. The possibility that this painting is a fake is infinitely higher. Let alone 400 million yen, there are two questions as to whether it can be sold for 4 million yen.

The bank was deceived this time!

Takeya Nanahara finally turned to the murderer, Tatsuo Uchii, who still looked calm, waved the "New Star at the Foot of Ophiuchus" in his hand, shook his head and said: "It has been proved that the painting is a fake, even if it is only suspected of being a fake, next There’s not much to say. The appearance of the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" that has been missing for 121 years in Hirano is a big event for the art world. As a reporter for the art column, Matsuuchi Yuuto went to interview you and talked with you about it. Huan, he started working on the manuscript as soon as he got back, and he was, as you said, as motivated as a mountain whale. He was very eager to achieve something, so he immediately started to look up the life of Nori Ichinose in detail, thinking Write a perfect manuscript.

But unfortunately, his hobby is reading, and he reads a lot of miscellaneous books on weekdays. From the Tokugawa shogunate's recruitment of Ichinose Nori, which led to his sudden death from overexcitement and many notebooks recording the creation process of "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" Notes, I think of the time of 1604, and also think of this book "The New Star at the Foot of Ophiuchus" that I should have just read, maybe I want to use it as a good example to praise Ichinose Nori's depiction of reality, and to show off his erudition. I noticed this small flaw after randomly comparing it with the pictures on the scroll, and told you specifically. I even believe that he blackmailed you... Is that so, Uchii-san? "

Uchii Tatsuo looked at him, his eyes twitching slightly, but he still kept his face calm and said nothing.

Takeshi Nanahara didn't care whether he spoke or not, and continued: "You should satisfy him once, because he was very happy and apologized to his wife when he got home. At that time, the couple had been in the cold war, but "Okinoshima Four Branches" "Volume" is really too important to you. This is a turning point in your career. It is an opportunity that you risk all your property and reputation to win. You cannot accept that he is as greedy as a mountain whale. The next day He regrets it and blackmails you for the second time the next day, because you have no money, so it becomes your only choice to shut him up forever.

You are also a person in the art circle, and you can figure out the working process of the magazine without saying a word. On the night of the magazine's layout meeting, you made an appointment with Heitate-san in advance, asked him to go drinking with you, and then proposed that we go out together. Take a bath to relax, and while you were depositing and withdrawing your valuables, you dialed his watch and slightly set the time forward by ten minutes and a half, then pretended to be drunk and tricked him into bringing him home, letting him continue drinking, or even more. Taking less sleeping pills made him drunk faster and fell asleep more deeply.

Hiratate-san thought he went to bed a little after ten o'clock, but in fact he closed his eyes in the guest room around nine-thirty. And you used this short time to follow the route you had observed before and quickly rushed to the Matsunai family courtyard to ambush you. Okay, launch a sudden attack, quickly kill Yuuto Matsunai, and then go home and set Hiratate-san's watch back to the accurate time to completely feel at ease.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if you fail that night, you have the patience to look for opportunities again, so Yuuto Matsuuchi is almost certain to die, died of his greed and... guilt for someone.

Your wife is also your accomplice. When Hirakate-san came, he just pretended to call and order takeout. It was also fake to order takeout. Even according to your personality, you prepared audio tapes in advance to simulate knocking on the door and the takeout clerk. The conversation between you and your wife, in fact, the food you ate was the takeout that your wife had just heated up the day before before you went home. It was only after nine o'clock, and she called Yang Wanwu again and ordered it again. She stayed early. Got it right at the door.

Well, the Yang Wanwu restaurant is okay. The main emphasis of the mutton dishes is tenderness and freshness, but Hiratate-san said it was salty and fresh. Maybe the mutton was a little old and your wife heated it a little too long. "

When Takeshi Nanahara said this, he looked at the expression on Uchii Tatsuo's face and said: "Of course, I also know that you can do it more perfectly. You chose such a simple and direct alibi just because you have confidence. It will not be the main target of police suspicion. After all, the flaws in the painting are really small. I have been looking for it for more than a day. If you want to prove your alibi, you just don’t want the police to interfere with your preparations for the auction. After all, if the auction fails, you will Being bankrupt is no different than being arrested.

And at this moment, you really should be arrested. Before he died, Yuuto Matsunai pointed to the sky, intending to point to the constellation Ophiuchus. At that time, his throat was cut, he could not say anything, his consciousness was blurred, and he could not think of any other way. I want to identify you, but I really want to identify you. I can only hope that someone can use this clue to find his collection of books, and then find you and the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" that he has just come into contact with, and then lock your suspicion, that is The time was wrong, everyone was confused when looking at the starry sky, and they all thought of monsters. "

At this point, Takeshi Nanahara had finished speaking. He paused for a while and reminded softly: "Okay, Uchii-san, it's your turn to speak. I don't think you need me to discuss boring things like evidence with you. That's right." It really doesn’t matter to you, just admit defeat happily, you almost won, but you didn’t, it was me who won.”

The basement was silent for a long time. Uchii Tatsuo slowly walked towards "Okinoshima Four Scrolls", stretched out his hand to touch it, and said calmly: "5 million yen."

Takeshi Nanahara didn't answer, but Qingjian Liuli was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "5 million yen... what does it mean?"

Tatsuo Uchii didn't even look at Ruri clearly, he just caressed the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" carefully, feeling the wonderful touch of the carefully made, and said in a calm tone: "This is the first time I paid Matsunai Yu The number of people, that was all the cash I could squeeze out at that time, and he also promised to help me keep the secret, but it only lasted for one day, and he put forward new conditions, he wanted 25% of the auction price of these four paintings."

At this point, Uchii Tatsuo laughed softly, "He was very tolerant and said that if he could sell more than 400 million yen, he would only need 100 million yen of it, and he would never ask for more. This secret was taken to the grave, so I also showed him my kindness, looked into his eyes, comforted him, and passed away without causing him much pain."

He continued to caress the long scroll, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, as if he was recalling the difficult process of starting a business from scratch, "And I also defeated my fear and insisted on finishing the public exhibition, betting that there would not be another Matsunai Yu. People, I can continue with my original plan, and in the end I was only a little bit short... I was just a little bit short of success, and I didn’t expect to meet you by surprise, but it’s still too early for you to say I won!”

The person he resents most now is Takeshi Nanabahara, followed by the counterfeiter, and Yuuto Matsunai can only be ranked third.

It was proved that "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" was a fake. As Takeshi Nanawara said, he was finished. His good life, beautiful house, half-life-long career, and his wife who trusted him wholeheartedly were all finished. In theory, it shouldn't be Someone can think of so many things at the same time, and no one should be able to find that inconspicuous flaw in such a short period of time, but a high school student appears out of nowhere, as if God wants him to die.

At this point, no matter how determined he was, he still couldn't believe that he still had the possibility of making a comeback. His life was indeed ruined, and he became a prey knocked down by a high school student. As he spoke, he suddenly pounced to the side. It was seven years ago. The position that Yuan Wu was talking about so much just now - even if he became the prey, he would leave a few scars on the hunter's body and leave an unforgettable impression on him.

But beyond his expectation, he was stunned for a moment when he rushed out. Takeshi Nanabahara had shrunk to the door of the room silently. When he saw something was wrong, he turned around and was about to get out of the door. At this time, Qingmi Liuli was the first to react, and without thinking, she pounced on Uchii Tatsuo and kneed him on the waist, making it impossible for him to pursue that bitch Takeshi Nanaihara.

After she had finished beating him, she realized that Uchii Tatsuo was trying to fight a trapped beast. She subconsciously pressed down with her little hand. Three points of force was better than ten points. She suppressed Uchii Tatsuo's instinct to fight back and rushed directly into his inner circle. He punched hard on his chest and abdomen diaphragm, forcing him to stop breathing for a moment, unable to gather his strength. Then, relying on the fleshy pads at the bottom of his palms, he directly launched the decisive move. His beautiful big eyes were as bright as cold stars, and he was all moving forward in an indomitable way. , exhaling the word "death", which made the basement buzz, and hit Tatsuo Uchii's chin from bottom to top with all his strength, knocking him backwards, causing a brain concussion and almost causing him to fall on the spot. coma.

Well, Uchii Tatsuo's physical fitness is not weak, but he is too unlucky. He only has Takeshi Nanabahara in his eyes. He is completely unprepared for Qingmi Ruri, a high school girl who looks delicate and weak. She is attacked from the side at the first moment. After getting the upper hand, he was beaten so hard that he couldn't fight back and just knelt down.

"asshole!"

At this time, Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji also rushed up. They shouted and shouted and threw Uchii Tatsuo down. He took out the handcuffs and handcuffed him, successfully arresting the murderer of the "Bonga Murder Incident".

At the same time, the bank representative's face turned pale, he covered his heart and fell to the ground. There was a lot of chicken feathers on the ground. I don't know if he would pursue Qingmi Ruri's voice afterward. He frightened him to have a heart attack again.
