I'm Not a Detective

Aikikawa Mariko's grandmother's name is Fumijiang, a name that has a sense of the times. She is in her seventies, has silver hair, and smile lines at the corners of her eyes. She is a very kind old lady. However, she seems to be in a bad mental state because she has had several nightmares at intervals, and her aura is a bit sluggish, but she still behaves well. , extremely polite.

After she was brought home by her granddaughter, she did not look down upon the "exorcist" because she was too young. She immediately expressed her gratitude to Takeshi Nanabahara and Ruri Kiyomi, and Takeshi Nanabahara observed her complexion without any trace. After a few polite words, he smiled and asked: "Although I have a general understanding of the matter, if possible, please describe the specific situation in the dream."

This is what it should be, but the smile on Mrs. Fumeijiang's face still disappeared a lot, and she sighed and said: "I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing at such an old age. The dream...the dream was a little blurry, I don't I knew where I was, but I could vaguely see two men arguing. One of them seemed to be shouting Aiura-san, you can't do this, and the other seemed to be scolding him, saying things like "then just do your thing," and directly Called him Kameda, kept threatening him, and then they got into a fight. The man named Kameda seemed to yell not to kill him, and then Kameda-san was probably killed. I... thought I should call the police. , I just kept walking, and after walking for a long time, I still couldn’t find Jiaoban, so I couldn’t remember it anymore.”

Takeshi Nanahara asked softly: "Until you wake up the next day?"

"Yes, I woke up groggy the next day and always felt very uneasy." Old Mrs. Fumeijiang shook her head and said, "I don't know why I have such nightmares, but I had the same dream three times, every other day. Do it once and it will become clearer each time, so..."

Takeshi Nanabaru asked thoughtfully: "Do those two men feel familiar?"

"No." Old Mrs. Fumeijiang had obviously recalled it a long time ago and affirmed, "I have never seen those two men."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and began to ask her in a soft voice when she had her first nightmare, where she had been before, and who and what she had come into contact with.

Old Mrs. Tomie answered truthfully, but it was not much different from what Mariko Aikawa had said before. Even at her age, she could not run far. She only walked around her home every day, going to supermarkets, town parks, and flea markets. She had never chatted or gossiped with anyone in the city, and she didn't talk to the housewives in the town very much, and they were just acquaintances.

After she finished speaking, Takeshi Nanahara asked patiently: "What do you do when you are at home?"

"Do housework, read books, old movies, and listen to music." Old Mrs. Fumijiang always found Takeshi Nanahara's voice very magnetic for some reason, and her speaking attitude was also extremely gentle, with a strange sense of rhythm. After chatting for a few words, she felt a little better. Relaxed, smiled and shook his head, "I'm already old and can't do much anymore."

"It's not too late for you to say this thirty years later, but it's too early now." Takeshi Nanabahara complimented with a smile, and then asked with concern, "Which songs have you listened to and which old movies have you watched?"

Mrs. Fumijiang casually mentioned the names of some old singers and old movies. Takeshi Nanabahara became interested and discussed it with her. They talked about how the flat-bed scooter the heroine rode in "Roman Holiday" was the world's first at that time. Some trivia about scooters and the like.

Old Mrs. Fumijiang seemed to enjoy chatting with others about these things, and it was easy to meet people with similar interests. She became very excited about the conversation and felt more relaxed. However, after listening to it for a while, Aikawa Mariko couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Nanahara-san, I Grandma’s previous nightmare, and this house…”

She didn't pay Takeshi Nanabaru to know how old black-and-white movies were made thirty or forty years ago. Takeshi Nanabahara turned to her and smiled: "There's no problem. Grandma just got a little resentment from somewhere, and the house is also It's very clean and won't affect anything. Miss Bichuan can stay out for two more days if she doesn't feel worried. If she wants to come back, it's no problem."

"Resentment?" Mariko Aikawa felt a little numb after hearing this word. She had been really scared for the past two days, so she asked carefully, "Where did it come from?"

"It's very light. It's hard to judge at the moment." Takeshi Nanahara said with a smile, "Of course, don't worry, I will go investigate and find out the whole story in two or three days. I will inform you then, but this kind of thing is very common. , as long as you relax your mind and it doesn’t affect your daily life.”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll wait for your news." It didn't work immediately, and there was a scene of the exorcist fighting the resentful soul. Mariko Aikawa was slightly disappointed, but the money had been given, so she could only listen to the experts for the time being. Yes, if the situation does not improve after two days of observation, it is not too late to consult another exorcist.

Old Mrs. Fumijiang was also very concerned about being contaminated with "grievance". After all, no one wanted to have nightmares. She took out the guardian and an evil-proof charm and asked: "Nanahara-san, do you still need to continue wearing these?"

Takeshi Nanahara took it casually. The guardian could not take it apart. According to traditional saying, it would be ineffective if it was taken apart. It was difficult to judge what was inside, but he only took one look at the so-called evil-proof charm and started to take it apart directly: "No need. No, it’s useless, there are no experts in the shrine, so I copied it all wrong.”

Mariko Aikawa couldn't accept it anymore. She looked at the charm and said hesitantly: "Why do you say that? I spent 12,000 yen to get it back..."

Takeshi Nanabahara didn't care about attacking his colleagues. He pointed at the chaotic lines on the charm and said with a smile: "This part is used to point to the name of the god. This part of the charm points to Qidahime, so it can't ward off evil."

Mariko Aikawa glanced at her and said in astonishment: "Kiki Inada-hime?" Kiki Inada-hime is still very famous in Japanese mythology. She is the wife of Susano no Mikoto, and it is assumed that she is in charge of "family happiness", "marriage bonding" and "Many children and grandchildren", the talisman she dared to spend money to get back was not correct at all. Wearing it for a long time might not lead to more grandfathers.

"Use mine." Takeshi Nanahara was not just talking. He was willing to give some valuable information to high-quality customers. In the blink of an eye, he had a small wooden carving full of charms and a small brocade bag in his hand.

He stuffed the small wooden carving into a small bag, tied it and handed it to the old lady Fumeijiang. He smiled and said, "You can just carry it with you. It is better to wear it on your chest. You don't need to take it off when you sleep."

This small bag had a faint fragrance. Old Mrs. Fumijiang felt a little calmer when she held it in her hand. She felt a little more confident in Takeshi Shichihara and put it on her chest. Takeshi Shichihara also told her to get some longan and longan. Some wheat porridge, to replenish yang energy and timid evil energy, she also remembered them one by one.

There will be nothing to do at the Michikawa house here. If you have anything to ask, just call. Takeshi Nanahara said goodbye directly, but before leaving, he took all the things that old Mrs. Fumijiang bought from the flea market some time before the nightmare. I left, I have to take it back and check it carefully.

Of course Old Mrs. Fumijiang would not object. Japan’s pension system is very friendly to the elderly. She can get pensions and pensions of varying amounts from three accounts every month. She is a rich old lady and is not stingy at all when buying second-hand goods. , and finally filled a box full of more than a hundred cassette tapes, more than a dozen video tapes, dozens of old magazines, more than a dozen second-hand books and some small ornaments and toys - she has been buying and collecting these things all year round, and there are quite a few She couldn't remember when she bought it, so she simply asked the exorcist to take it away for inspection.

Aikikawa Mariko was not at ease about leaving her grandmother at home, and even decided to go out and live for two days, waiting for an explanation of the matter before coming back. At the moment, she couldn't send Nanabahara Wu and Qingmi Ruri away, so she just Called a taxi for them, paid the fare, and sent them off politely.

…………

After Takeshi Nanahara got in the car, he asked the taxi driver to drive to the police station, where he closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing Liuli sitting next to him, Qingqing whispered unhappily: "You are lying again, can you stop lying in the future?" Just now she saw the "grievance" of Qiyuan Wugui, and she tried her best to hold it back without speaking. , for fear that he would be betrayed as a liar by just speaking.

Takeshi Nanahara didn't even open his eyes and said without caring: "The shrine is doing the same thing as me. Before you accuse me of a small family like me, please tear down the shrine first. Don't just bully vulnerable groups like me." .”

You are weak ass!

Qing Jian Liuli secretly scolded him in her heart, but Qi Yuan's armed gods and ghosts were willing to solve the problem. Now she had to go directly to investigate. It was better than those shrines that only care about killing and burial, and it was still within her tolerance range. , then asked: "Is that spell really pointing to Qida-hime?"

She had some suspicion that Takeshi Nanabahara was involved in the industry and was stepping on his peers to expand his business.

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her sideways: "Use your brain. This kind of thing is a lie. What if Mariko Aikawa goes to find someone who understands and asks, didn't I destroy my own sign? That spell is indeed nonsense. In modern times, there are still free minds. There are not many people who study talismans, and there are no talented people at the shrine. It is very likely that they got this book from nowhere, and copied it without even understanding it."

That's true, it's not easy to lie about this kind of thing. Qingmi Ruri felt that that shrine was indeed inferior to Nanabaru Takeshi. When Shichihara Takeshi fooled people, he was at least trying to fool people. That shrine didn't even bother to fool people. It was simply morally corrupt.

She cursed the shrine a few more times in her mind, and then asked: "Then that little wooden carving you gave me, I see there are many ghost symbols engraved on it, which god does it point to?"

"Nanahara Great Fortune God."

"Nanahara Great Fortune God?" Qingjian Liuli suddenly had a bad premonition, "Could it be..."

Takeshi Nanahara said with a smile: "Yes, it means pointing to me. As long as he is willing to pay me, and he is not a bastard, I will definitely ensure that he has everything going smoothly. Isn't it more effective than a god who only collects money and does no work? And I am also more willing to pay than a shrine. The cost is more than 10,000 yen for a piece of waste paper sold by the shrine, and my small bag contains medicinal materials such as chicken tongue incense, cypress kernels, albizia bark, amomum villosum, polygala root, etc. It can soothe the mind and help sleep, and is absolutely worth the money."

Qing Jian Liuli had nothing to say. The liars were all the same. Even if Takeshi Nanahara was better than that shrine, he was not much better. In the end, he was still fooling people.

She no longer cared about how the magic stick industry was getting involved, and began to worry about how to really solve this matter: "Are we going to the police station now to find Miss Nakano and find out what happened with the murder case?"

Takeshi Nanahara's expression became more serious, he stopped joking, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, there is no problem at home. The old lady's dream was too clear again. It is necessary to understand the case and compare it with her dream. We need both. If they are basically consistent, we need to consider the connection between the victim or the murderer and the old lady."

Qingjian Liuli also thought about it for a while, but didn't expect how the two could be connected, and asked hesitantly: "So you are still doubting those second-hand goods?"

Takeshi Nanahara nodded: "It's not a suspicion, but something went wrong just after she bought these second-hand goods, especially those tapes, video tapes, and magazines. These things are somewhat suspicious, and it is not appropriate to keep them with her, just in case. Just in case, so of course I have to take it away, anyway it’s not...well, it’s not troublesome to move it anyway.”

This is very reasonable. Qingjian Liuli felt relieved and said happily: "I thought you wanted to look at other people's things for free again, as long as it was related to the commission."

"I don't need to watch it. I probably know all those old singers and old movies, so there's no need to waste time watching and listening to them again." Takeshi Nanahara looked at her and smiled, "You go watch and listen to them again."

This thing can't be done at Bichuan's house. A movie takes more than an hour anyway. The same goes for song tapes. It takes half an hour to listen to one tape. And the old lady Fumeijiang bought too many. Just looking at the cover will cost After watching them for more than ten minutes, I really wanted to go through the content. It would be impossible in less than dozens of hours, so I had to move home.

Qing Jian Liuli was shocked. She didn't expect that this matter would fall on her. She said in surprise: "Shall I come to check?"

Takeshi Nanahara said without hesitation: "Of course, I will move them all to your house. There is no need to rush. Just check them slowly. At present, these things seem to be very suspicious."

"You want to move back home?" Qingjian Liuli hesitated and muttered, "Why don't you check, what if I start to have nightmares too?"

Takeshi Nanahara held her shoulders and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, it's about the health of an innocent old man. We also accepted the money and accepted the commission. There must be a result, so we must have a fearless spirit of sacrifice. It is necessary Risks have to be taken, feel free to check it out!”

Qingjian Liuli looked at him in disbelief: "Wherever you sacrifice, there is always a risk. Aren't I going to sacrifice and take risks? You are obviously using me as a test subject!"

Takeshi Nanahara vouched for it without hesitation, "You really don't have to worry, I said the suspicion is very small, you shouldn't be able to sacrifice, I promise!"

Qing Jian Liuli was still very dissatisfied, and whispered softly: "Tsk, you said it lightly. Anyway, it was not you who was in trouble. You have been blaming the bad luck on me all day long."

In fact, even if she agreed, she was just complaining, which was not pleasing at all. Takeshi Nanahara looked at her with disdain and said: "Look, I scared you. You are such a coward. I have told you several times that I only asked you to check me. Just in case, nothing goes wrong, didn’t you notice a detail before?”

Qing Jian Liuli raised her head in surprise and said, "What details?"

Takeshi Nanabaru touched his chin and said: "The murder occurred six days ago. The old lady first said she had a nightmare and it was six days ago that she wanted to go to the shrine. That means...

He thought it was unreasonable last night, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. He just thought that when Mariko conveyed it orally, the time was not stated accurately. It was a coincidence that there was some internal family problem in the Bichuan family, but just now he was patient. I have asked the old lady Fumijiang and I am sure that she is correct about the time. He has worked with Eri Nakano. I think she cannot remember the time of the crime wrongly when she looks through the files, so she said that this matter has become troublesome and she will charge less. .

Of course, this still needs to be confirmed by going to the police station, but it is almost certain that Mariko Aikawa and Eri Nakano thought wrong together. As soon as they heard that the old lady dreamed about the murder, they all thought of ghosts, and they had no idea. Think carefully about the order of time.

Even now it seems that Qingjian Liuli, a hidden fox, has not considered the issue of time and has been wondering if he has hit a ghost.

Qing Jian Liuli was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she was frightened, and murmured uncontrollably: "You mean a precognitive dream? If the murder happened during the day, even at night, did Bichuan grandma have a precognitive dream? She had a precognitive dream in advance. When you dreamed about Kameda being killed, wasn’t it influenced by some magazine video tape?”

Bastard, no wonder this guy doesn't care much about those second-hand goods. He only sent me to look through them. It turns out that I really used my time to rule out the possibility. But if this is the case, things are getting weirder. Is it really a supernatural phenomenon? !

Are there really precognitive dreams in this world?
