I'm Not a Detective

The Yamashita home is located on the top floor of an eight-story apartment building, house number 801.

The apartment manager was a little surprised that the police went back and forth, but he didn't say anything. He took the spare key and went upstairs to open the door, letting Takeshi Qihara and his party inside.

Seeing Liuli enter the door, Qing took a deep breath, feeling a little fascinated.

This is the smell of the "crime scene". After studying the mystery novels for so many years... No, I have studied the reasoning and deduction method for so many years, and I can finally apply what I have learned!

She slowly exhaled the air in her lungs, and instantly tensed up, her eyes were sharp, like a police dog, and she began to look left and right.

The apartment area is very large, it is a 1L1D2R apartment type, that is, a living room, a dining room, two rooms, a large apartment with separate bathroom and bathroom - two rooms, one is a bedroom, and the other has been converted into a studio, full of documents and drawings and various electronic components.

The closets in the living room and dining room have also been modified and converted into flower stands with many potted green plants.

Well, the head of the household has a good income and attaches great importance to work. He may be a workaholic.

Qing Jian Liuli took advantage of the opportunity that no one was paying attention to her, and quickly wandered around the rooms without missing any suspicious places, but after turning around, she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

It's not the same as in mystery novels. Generally, when the protagonist arrives at the crime scene, he can always find something unusual, but this room is too normal.

The floor is clean and free of foreign matter, and there is not a single hair;

The doors and windows are intact, not to mention broken, not even scratches;

The beds and furniture are neat, everything is where it should be, even the clothes hanging on the balcony look like troops waiting for inspection.

It doesn't look like any cases have happened here, and there is nothing strange about it.

She stood there frowning and thinking for a while, then turned to find the apartment manager, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, when was the last time you saw Yamashita-san?"

The apartment manager gave her a strange look, and didn't quite understand who she was, but he didn't refuse to answer, "The police officer asked me before, the last time I saw Yamashita-san was after nine o'clock the night before yesterday, when he just got off work return."

"Haven't seen him since?"

"No."

Qing Jian Liuli said thoughtfully: "That means, he didn't leave this building?"

The apartment manager looked at her speechless for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "This... classmate, this is an apartment building, not a prison. I won't keep staring at the gate all the time. Did Yamashita-san do anything when I wasn't paying attention, or I can't promise to leave when I'm busy with other things, and I said the same to the officers before."

Seeing Liuli slightly embarrassed, Qing whispered: "You are right."

Then she thought about it, and asked expectantly: "In the past two days, have you noticed anything unusual? For example, when you heard a strange sound, you suddenly saw a dark figure and thought you were dazzled? Did you see a strange trace or object appearing somewhere?"

Generally speaking, when a novel reaches this point, it is up to passers-by to provide clues to the detective, and an unintentional remark directly wakes up the detective!

The apartment manager couldn't understand who she was anymore, and looked at her like a fool, "No, everything in the building is normal these two days, and if you ask, the previous police officers have asked."

Seeing that Liuli's face is numb, why don't you play your cards according to the routine, how can I solve the case?

She began to feel embarrassed. Judging from the current situation, maybe Yamashita Yu just left home to relax, at least he left on his own initiative, and there is no way to track it down. It seems that there is no other good way except to let everyone pay attention. It is not in vain Do you want to come?

She was disappointed, but immediately tensed up again.

It's bad, if that guy can't find anyone, and makes the police and the victim go for nothing, how will it end then? Then he will definitely be scolded, right?

Thinking of this, she became even more nervous, and hurried to find Takeshi Qiyuan, and found that this guy was carefully looking at a potted plant, and suddenly became angry again-what time is it, you are still playing tricks here! Now is the police presence, not the time for you to cheat money!

She tugged on the hem of Shichihara Takeshi's back clothes, and whispered: "Don't pretend, in my opinion, Yamashita-san may have gone out to relax, this is not something we can handle, let's go!"

After a pause, she added, "I'll apologize to you, and I shouldn't be scolded."

Why are you apologizing with me?

Qiyuan Wu gave her a sideways look, and didn't want to talk to her at first, but for the sake of her words, he said casually: "It's not going out to relax."

"Not distracting? How do you know?"

Takeshi Qiyuan casually explained: "Everything in the room is clean and well-organized. There is a schedule and fitness plan posted on the refrigerator. There is no alcohol or cigarettes at home. The bookshelves are full of books related to potted plants and gardening, some of which have obviously been purchased for a long time. , has been checked repeatedly, but it is still clean, not only is it not stained at all, even the corners of the page are not curled at all.

All this shows that Yamashita Yu is a person with clear goals, very self-discipline, and a little bit of a cleanliness obsession. He is also extremely energetic. In addition to high-intensity work, he still has the energy to maintain hobbies and spare time to take care of potted plants. It is hard to imagine Such a person will be overwhelmed by the pressure, and for no reason will run to play and relax. "

Seeing Liuli in a daze, Qing recalled the scene in Yamashita's house, and felt that what he said seemed to make sense, and immediately said: "I also found out what you said, but it must be true that Yamashita-san left on his own initiative, and we will also leave now." I can't find any clues to determine what he did, so what you said is useless, and we still have to rely on the police to find someone, so it's better for us to apologize and go back."

She still has the mentality of a minor, and she was afraid of offending adults. Takeshi Qiyuan didn't even bother to talk about her, and said angrily: "If you can't find it, keep looking. How can it be easy to make money!"

"Then how can I find someone?" Seeing Liuli being slandered, Qing pouted a little unhappy. She also wanted to find someone, but there was no other way now!

Qi Yuanwu turned his gaze back to the potted plants, and said softly, "There are no flower fertilizers or gardening tools in the apartment."

Qingjian Liuli looked at the potted plants and said in disbelief, "At this time, you still plan to fertilize the flowers?"

Takeshi Qiyuan didn't know what to say to her for a moment, he was speechless for a moment and said: "This is 'Xiaoyue Ji' from 'Yeyan', it is an artificially cultivated species of Epiphyllum in the cactus family, it is specially bred for human viewing, The requirements for the living environment are extremely strict, as long as the temperature, humidity, and soil pH are not in the slightest, it will die for you in less than three days, and it is absolutely impossible to stay here forever—it is dying now.”

Then he twisted the soil in the pot again, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it lightly, and said thoughtfully, "Like the other pots, the last time I fertilized and watered it was two or three days ago."

Qing Jian Liuli was still puzzled, and said in confusion, "So..."

"You're so stupid." Takeshi Qiyuan was completely speechless to Qing Jian Liuli's head, "Yamashita Yu obviously has a place for potted plants, and it's very close to here!"

…………

"Student Qiyuan, have you sensed Yamashita-san's position?" After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Gao Song finally couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked.

Qi Yuanwu shook his head and said: "The aura here is very peaceful, and there is nothing to discover."

Mrs. Takamatsu was disappointed, and the two criminal policemen also showed the expected expressions, and Qiyuan Wu turned to the apartment administrator and asked: "Mr. Administrator, I can sense from Yamashita-san's breath that he is often close to the green value, so should he There is a greenhouse for potted plants, do you know the location?"

Before the apartment manager answered, the taller and stronger criminal policeman spoke up, pointed to the ceiling and said, "It's on the roof, we've already visited it, and everything is normal there."

The police are not idlers, they don't even need reasoning, they just ask people when they see them, and they have already searched where they can be found.

And if Mrs. Gao Song was not related to the director, he would have stopped this farce long ago, and now there is not much patience left, and taking the initiative to answer the conversation is also conveying a kind of impatience-if it were not for Qiyuan Wuwen, he would never He took the initiative to mention the greenhouse, and was going to drive him out when he finished "perceiving" the apartment.

But unfortunately, he was discovered, which made him even more depressed.

Qiyuan Wu didn't care if the two criminal policemen were patient or not, he thanked the administrator and asked the administrator to lead the way. Qingjian Liuli and Mrs. Takamatsu followed naturally, but the two criminal policemen shook their heads helplessly and could only follow behind.

I have no choice but to waste time looking at the greenhouse, and let these two little devils go away as soon as possible.

Yamashita Yu's apartment is on the top floor, very close to the rooftop, and while walking, Qiyuan Takeshi suddenly stopped, tilted his head and looked at the door of 803, and the Gao Zhuang detective who followed behind sighed: "What's wrong?"

Takeshi Qiyuan didn't make a sound, lying on the door and looking in through the cat's eye, with a playful expression and a little perverted behavior.

Everyone was speechless, Qing saw Liuli tugging on his clothes hem, signaling him not to be so obsessed, and get down to business quickly. Qiyuan Wu shrugged, smiled and continued to move forward, and went up to the rooftop with everyone.

Yamashita Yu's greenhouse has a large area and a high degree of professionalism. It seems that he really likes potted gardening, and he is not short of money. He has nearly a hundred potted flowers, large and small, including many rare and rare varieties. A sense of light.

This is the last hope. It is estimated that the police will not be able to accompany them to search other places. Qingjian Liuli looked around and found that there was nothing wrong with it except for potted plants. Next, I used a small shovel to turn over the manure soil piled up in a corner, and found some yellow, black, dark red loose soil, mixed with a small amount of sand and gravel, not to mention people, not even a bug.

Alas, I really shouldn't have come. People hunting is the professional field of the police. That guy wants to use this to cheat money. It's really fantastic.

Seeing that Liuli was frustrated and worried, Qing had already started thinking about how to apologize for Qiyuan Wu when he was scolded.

"May I go back?" Gao Zhuang said, holding back his impatience, "We have searched here long ago, and there is nothing suspicious. If we go back earlier, we can issue an investigation assistance notice earlier, which will be more helpful in finding Yamashita-san."

"There is no need to issue an investigation notice." Qiyuan Wu stared at a small toon tree, that is, azalea, for a while, regretfully said: "Yamashita mulberry is in the greenhouse."

"In the greenhouse? Where is it?" Everyone was shocked and looked around.

"Here." Takeshi Qiyuan took Xiaochun off the flower stand, carefully pulled out the flower, and then buckled the flower pot to the ground.

When the flowerpot was lifted, a severed hand rolled out of the splashed soil and landed in front of Qingjian Liuli.

The hand was amputated at the wrist, buried in a flower pot for a period of time, showing a dead fish-white color, slightly blue and swollen, rolled to the ground and bounced twice.

Qingjian Liuli stared at the severed hand with her mouth wide open for three seconds, then took three steps back and almost fell to the ground.

She just likes mystery novels, and this is the first time she has come into close contact with a corpse, even if it is just a severed hand, the psychological and physical shocks are very strong.

Takeshi Qiyuan looked around the greenhouse again, stretched out his fingers and tapped the flower stands one by one, and said calmly: "These two pots, that pot, that pot, those two pots, and that row over there... the other parts of Yamashita Mulberry are in in."

The expressions of the two criminal policemen had changed drastically at this moment. After quickly memorizing Takeshi Qihara's instructions, they looked at each other in disbelief.

It turns out that this high school student is really a psychic, and can really perceive some things that ordinary people cannot perceive!
