Chapter 51: Brother Tou just stayed up all night helping the police deal with the situation on Monday...
Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who had just stayed up late on Monday to help with some matters at the Public Security Bureau, stopped by the Mobile Team's □□ Processing Division to ask for leave.
As a result, an invitation letter was found on the table.
【Police Officer Hagiwara personally stated:
We sincerely invite you to participate in our reasoning competition tomorrow.
Address: XXX Villa
Ps: It would be our honor to meet other people who are strong in reasoning. 】
Hagiwara Kenji turned to look at Matsuda Jinpei, who was standing next to him. "What's the difference between this and just clicking on Jinpei's name?"
"You're going to this boring event?" Matsuda Jinpei glanced at the invitation, which still smelled of ink. "They're so secretive that they don't even dare to write it by hand."
"That's why I want to go and see it."
Hagiwara Kenji waved the invitation in his hand and winked at Matsuda Jinpei, "Guess which case brought this."
Jinpei Matsuda ignored Hagiwara Kenji's actions. This move has not changed at all since he was a child.
But it's not a good idea to keep the bomb buried.
Matsuda Jinpei yawned, waved his hand, and turned to walk out. "Go home and get some sleep before heading out again."
"Okay, but next time Master Jing asks us to work, let him ask for leave."
Hagiwara Kenji casually stuffed the invitation into his pocket, turned around and followed Matsuda Jinpei, half of his body leaning against him. "I'm really sleepy. They (the police) really don't treat us as outsiders at all."
The police don't treat people as human beings at all. They could barely have a little rest yesterday.
Zhu Fu Jingguang sneezed, raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose, and casually put the processed documents aside.
"When will Zero come back? Why does Team Zero have so many things going on?"
Jinpei Matsuda's face darkened as he hugged Kenji Hagiwara's waist tightly. The cars parked not far away had obviously been blown to pieces.
When Morinaga Yuya came over, he saw this scene. Seeing the familiar license plate, he spoke out decisively to save Matsuda Jinpei who was about to be unable to stop the man.
"Brother Yan'er, Brother Zhenping."
Matsuda Jinpei let go of his hand at the right time, and Hagiwara Kenji rushed straight towards Morinaga Yuya.
Morinaga Yu was also pulled backward by inertia, but he quickly stabilized his body and held onto Hagiwara Kenji, while still holding the umbrella firmly in his hand to prevent both of them from getting wet.
Kenji Hagiwara bent his waist and buried his head in Morinaga Yuya's shoulder, not caring at all how strange this action looked for him given his large size.
"Wow Yuuya-chan, Kenji-chan's car got blown up."
Morinaga Yuya was at a loss as to what to do to comfort him. Shouldn't Jinping take this opportunity to hug Kenji tighter? Why let go?
After throwing the troublesome guy out, Jinpei Matsuda leaned against the wall and looked up at the eaves. The rain was really heavy.
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Yukunran, who was still emitting black energy even though he was holding her down, and felt a little envious of Matsuda Jinpei who was liberated.
"Will you continue to use the organization's funds to buy one?"
Fūya Ling gritted his teeth. He was the only one driving a scrap car, and he didn't expect that someone would dare to do this!
"I want to know who is the brave one."
Hey, hey, hey! Bourbon Hitomi is out!
Zhu Fujingguang turned his head away with difficulty and silently mourned for the unknown murderer, hoping that he would be more resilient.
Zero is clearly in the intelligence team, but over the years he has become more and more capable.
After finally coaxing Hagiwara Kenji into submission, Morinaga Yuya struggled to carry Hagiwara Kenji, who was only half hanging with his legs completely touching the ground, under the eaves.
Matsuda Jinpei finally gave up studying the eaves and reached out to pick up Hagiwara Kenji. "I say, Hagi, be careful, if Yuya doesn't grow taller, I'll settle the score with you."
Morinaga Yuya raised his head and stared at Matsuda Jinpei with a resentful look.
Matsuda Jinpei let go with a wry smile, completely ignoring the fact that Hagiwara Kenji hadn't even stood properly. He nodded and said affirmatively, "Yuya will definitely be taller than Hagi in the future."
Only then did Morinaga Yuya reluctantly agree to let Matsuda Jinpei go, saying that he could do anything but could not grow short!
Turning around, he found two unexpected people in the corner. Morinaga Yuya looked at Furuya Rei, not knowing whether he should say hello. If Brother Jingguang didn't disguise himself, then it wasn't a secret mission of the public security.
"Brother Jingguang?"
Zhu Fujingguang took his hand off Jiang Gu Ling's shoulder, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"Is Yuu here training with the club?"
Morinaga Yuu also thought of the other Mazda outside. He seemed to know who the owner of that car was.
"I'm staying with Hyotei, and he happens to be right next door."
Adhering to the acting skills he had honed in the organization, Furuya Rei smiled brightly, "Long time no see, Yuya."
But that smile always seemed to have a dark aura.
Morinaga Yuya's blinking frequency also increased, "Long time no see, Toru-nii."
Although two of them were emitting dark energy, Morinaga Yuu was obviously much more relaxed with the presence of four familiar brothers.
They just came to take a look, why did it turn into a search for the murderer?
Morinaga Yuya clenched the flashlight in his hand, his eyes a little blurry.
Although it was only afternoon, the lighting inside the villa was very poor due to the heavy rain outside.
The one in Morinaga Yuya's hand was a kind gift from Matsuda Jinpei. He only had one with him, and the others were blown up in the car.
"I wonder which bastard cut all the wires."
Uesugi Nobu, 30, runs a small hotel and works as a detective on the side, only taking on homicide cases.
It is often said: What's the point of looking for cats and dogs or even investigating infidelity? Detectives should do big things.
"That's right. Not only did they invite us to this remote mountain forest, but they also kept hiding."
Mai Hayakawa, 28 years old, is a well-known metaphysical detective on the Internet. She is said to be able to communicate with the souls of the dead.
"And why are these three brats involved?"
Keisuke Moriwaki, 35, is a mystery novelist who likes to go directly to the murder scene to collect materials.
The first victim, Kazuhiko Hosokawa, was 30 years old and ran a detective agency in Osaka.
He was stabbed to death in the bedroom. The crime scene was a secret room.
The second victim was Meiko Shiro, 29 years old, a detective who loved traveling. She had no fixed place to live and finding her was a matter of fate.
He died of excessive blood loss in the bathroom, which was still a secret room.
Uesugi Nobu interrupted Moriwaki Keisuke's muttering. His life was already in danger if the murderer was not found, and this guy was still fanning the flames.
"Okay, stop talking so much. They're just a few kids. Your reasoning can't be worse than theirs, right?"
Moriwaki Keisuke glared at Morinaga Yuya and the others angrily, "Uesugi!"
Kenji Hagiwara was already used to this group of people quarreling over just a few words, but he still turned around and put Morinaga Yuya in front of him.
"I still haven't figured out why we were invited here."
Hagiwara Kenji lowered his voice to make sure that only he and Morinaga Yu could hear it.
"I originally thought it was just revenge for a previous incident, but after I put it in my pocket for a few hours, the invitation letter showed the entrance to the police academy."
"Then I'm afraid this is the case we encountered back in the police academy. Whatever the reason, I can only contact Master Jing, but I didn't expect that guy to just return to China."
"It's almost night time now, and we haven't found any clues."
Morinaga Yuya wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally thought of the strength of Ida Ko's pat on the shoulder.
"By the way, is it really okay for you to forget Idago?"
Kenji Hagiwara's eyes focused, and he quickly found the perfect person to take the blame, and spread his hands.
"I don't have the authority to recruit anyone to participate."
Zhu Fujingguang, who heard everything clearly, fell silent. He slowly turned his head to look at Furuya Ling, pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, and patted his shoulder.
"Come on, team leader."
Furuya Rei looked at Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had escaped decisively, in disbelief, "Hiro?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang turned around and looked for something else that could provide light.
Seeing the words "Busy, please do not disturb" on Zhufushi Jingguang's face, Furuya Ling fell silent.
No, it wasn't like this before he remembered.
Who led him astray in his childhood?
Jinpei Matsuda turned his head and refused to make eye contact with Rei Furuya. He was just an ordinary bomb disposal technician and this kind of thing had nothing to do with him.
Furuya Ling stood alone in the corridor, and his unreliable friends were even secretly discussing how to add fuel to the fire if he was dealt with by Date Kou, not treating him as an outsider at all.
In response to this, Furuya Zero gritted his teeth and said: Thank you so much!
The person who brought up the topic, Yuya Morinaga, is currently on an amazing adventure.
The long corridor may be designed to scare visitors, as it becomes narrower and narrower, giving people a feeling of being squeezed.
There are all kinds of strange faces carved on the walls, twisted and hideous.
Morinaga Yuya could clearly feel that Sanada Genichirō was becoming more and more nervous, his muscles were completely tense, and on the other side, Atobe Keigo was no better.
Morinaga Yuu also blinked his eyes. It seemed that the two of them were more scared than him.
I suggest that Jing City build a maze during the Kaihara Festival. The tennis club is quite big anyway, and the ball machines and the like are just perfect for riding on.
At the end of the corridor was a tightly closed door, and the width of the corridor was just enough for one person to pass through.
When I opened the door, the view suddenly opened up. The bookshelves were neatly arranged and filled with books.
Mai Hayakawa casually pulled out a book and looked at it with the help of the light from her mobile phone. The book showed signs of being frequently flipped through. She simply flipped through two pages and found some notes.
“Who exactly is the owner of this villa? These are all old books from a long time ago.”
Uesugi Nobu pulled a chair aside and sat down. "Who knows?"
Keisuke Moriwaki stood by the window, rain splashed on the window, and the whole forest was gloomy and depressing.
Moriwaki Keisuke turned his head and glanced at the other people standing or sitting in the circle house. "We have searched the entire villa thoroughly. There is no one else. It seems that the murderer is among us."
"Let's rule out these three little devils first. So is the probability one in seven, or is there a conspiracy?"
The excluded Genichirō Sanada and Keigo Atobe have not yet reacted to the sudden switch from detective mode to werewolf killing.
Morinaga Yuya suppressed the upward curve of his lips, thinking that Kenji and the others had become suspects.
Matsuda Jinpei put his big hand on Morinaga Yuya's head and said, "Be careful when watching the fun, Yuya."
Morinaga Yuya blinked innocently and wisely smoothed the corners of his mouth.
The ability to accurately capture danger signals is a must-have skill for a detective.
Hagiwara Kenji leaned against the wall, observing the expressions of the three suspects. "How about letting Yuya handle the rest of the investigation? We don't have to get involved."
Moriwaki Keisuke scoffed, "Leave it to a brat?"
"Perhaps none of you here have solved as many cases as he has."
Jinpei Matsuda released the hand that was suppressing Yuya Morinaga, and looked at Keisuke Moriwaki with the oppressive gaze of a big boss.
Keisuke Moriwaki's face froze. Is this guy really a detective?
Hagiwara Kenji proudly lifted Morinaga Yuya from behind and said, "You are a very famous young detective in Tokyo~"
Morinaga Yuya suddenly raised his gaze and froze. Kenji-kun is going too far!
Mai Hayakawa lowered her head and lit a cigarette. "I have no objection. After all, no matter who investigates, everyone is worried."
Uesugi Nobuyuki didn't care much about this kind of thing, although it was uncomfortable not being able to investigate it personally.
But in this case, life is more important.
"Then let these three young men go and take a look first."
Forced to do so, Morinaga Yuu resigned himself to the responsibility of finding the murderer.
Considering that Genichirō Sanada and Keigo Atobe had rarely been to the crime scene, Yuya Morinaga said that they could just stay at the door of the room.
However, neither Genichirō Sanada nor Keigo Atobe agreed. Although they knew that Morinaga Yu was also a detective, they still couldn't let him face the corpse alone.
Morinaga Yuya opened the door to the first crime scene.
Kazuhiko Hosokawa was lying on the floor with a knife stuck in his chest, and his body had begun to stiffen.
Morinaga Yuya turned his head to look, and sure enough, Sanada Genichirō and Atobe Keigo ran out almost at the same time with pale faces.
Morinaga Yuu was helpless, "Please wait at the door to see if anyone comes out."
"Leave it to me."
"Don't worry, Yuuya."
Morinaga Yuya closed the door and recalled the clues given by Kenji and the others and began to study how the secret room was formed.
The windows were closed and the door was locked. They were preparing to have lunch downstairs, but Kazuhiko Hosokawa did not come down. Miss Shiroeko went up to call him, but found that the door could not be opened, there was no sound in the room, and he was not found anywhere else. Her cell phone was also unreachable, and her car was parked in the yard.
After discussion, Mr. Nobuyuki Uesugi and Mr. Keisuke Moriwaki broke the door open and found that Kazuhiko Hosokawa was dead.
Everyone was in the room at that time, so even if there were important clues, there was a chance that they would be covered up by the criminal.
Morinaga Yuya still carefully checked the entire room, and took the opportunity to flip through a detective collection made by Hosokawa Kazuhiko, which included photos of the crime scene and the entire reasoning process, most of which were his own boasting.
Morinaga Yuu didn't quite understand either, but he also expressed respect.
However, there was a sentence in one case that caught Morinaga Yu's attention.
"Why did this Joumeiko guy run into me again? Why did they hire so many detectives? If the commission wasn't so high, I would have just left. But luckily, I solved the case first this time. I won't give up my position as the top detective."
Morinaga Yuya put it down and continued to explore. He found a pool of water along the windowsill. Following the source of the water, he found a very small hole in the lower right corner of the window. If it wasn't cloudy outside, it probably wouldn't be so obvious. The hole was just big enough to pass a knotted fishing line through.
Everything became clear afterwards. The murderer must have entered through the main door, killed Mr. Hosokawa Kazuhiko with a knife when he let his guard down, then locked the door, tied the fishing line to the window lock in advance, climbed out, pulled it down hard, and then retrieved the fishing line.
Morinaga Yuya opened the window and looked down. The ground was already muddy. Even if there were clues, they were washed away by the rain. It was really the right time and place.
An hour after Miss Shiromaeko died in the first incident, it started raining heavily.
The police said that if there was a car accident on the road, they would not be able to arrive until the evening at the earliest. At that time, several clues had been searched and everyone was free to do whatever they wanted.
This villa has four floors in total. Shiro Meiko lives on the third floor, along with Hayakawa Mai. Everyone else lives on the second floor, and the study is on the fourth floor.
The first person to discover the crime scene was Mai Hayakawa.
After arriving at the bathroom, Genichirō Sanada and Keigo Atobe stood naturally on either side of the door, chatting casually about tennis.
Miss Shiromaya Eiko's body was lying on the ground, and the water in the bathtub was filled with a bloody smell.
Morinaga Yuya immediately checked the bathroom window, and sure enough, there was a familiar hole.
Then the next step is to identify who sent the invitation or the owner of the villa and the case can basically be solved.
When Morinaga Yuya returned to the study, he saw his unscrupulous brothers playing cards together, with white notes stuck on their faces.
When Hagiwara Kenji saw Morinaga Yuya coming back, he threw the cards away. It was so great that if he continued playing, he would not be able to see the road clearly.
"How was Yuya's harvest?"
Morinaga Yuuya stared at Hagiwara Kenji who was running towards him with resentment, "Fishing line, window, hole, rain."
After thinking carefully, Kenji Hagiwara understood what Morinaga Yuya meant. He rushed over and pressed Morinaga Yuya in his arms and rubbed him carefully.
"As expected of Yuya, you're so smart."
Morinaga Yuya let Hagiwara Kenji do what he wanted, his expression remaining calm.
"The next step is to find the person who sent the invitation or the owner of this place."
Needless to say, all three suspects understood that their rooms were going to be searched next.
Uesugi Nobuyuki stood up first, "Let's go, let's find out who it is and end it sooner."
Mai Hayakawa put out the cigarette in her hand. There were already quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table.
"I don't want a knife hanging over my head all the time."
Moriwaki Keisuke still had that look of disdain, "What can three little brats find out?"
The first place we went to was Hayakawa Mai's room. As a metaphysical detective, crystals and tarot cards are indispensable in her room.
Morinaga Yuya looked at the props on the table and suddenly asked, "Ms. Hayakawa, have you tried to predict who the murderer is this time?"
Hayakawa Mai suddenly became delirious, "Fate tells me this is revenge from hell."
Morinaga Yu did not comment. In fact, if you do some statistics, you will know that most murders are caused by revenge, love killings, financial disputes, and bullying. Any guess is likely to be correct.
In addition, there are cosmetic bags, selfie sticks, cigarettes, and lighters.
Next we went to Uesugi Nobuyuki's room, where there was a pipe and a magnifying glass on the table.
Morinaga Yuya thought, it seems that this person is also a Sherlock Holmes fan, and he should have a lot to talk about with Shinichi.
Then there were hiking sticks, sunglasses, a photo of a strange woman, and a pocket watch.
Morinaga Yu also felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Uesugi Nobu looked at the woman in the photo with affection, "This is my beloved, Fujimura Airi, and the pocket watch is a relic she left me."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. It was a case in the detective collection of Hosokawa Kazuhiko.
It can be said that several of the 'detectives' present were involved.
Then why did you invite Yan Er and the others?
Morinaga Yuya grabbed Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu and gradually left the crowd. Although the reason was still unknown, Furuya Rei's identity was the most important issue.
"Brother Jingguang, Brother Toru, that detective collection of Hosokawa Kazuhiko's stories involves the case of Fujimura Airi. Do you want to find a chance to interrogate Uesugi Nobu alone later?"
"Leave the rest to me."
Fūya Rei raised his eyebrows slightly, and he and Morofushi Kagemitsu blended into the crowd very skillfully, and brought Uesugi Nobu out alone without alerting others.
Morinaga Yuu also sighed that Brother Jingguang and Brother Ling are really becoming more and more tortured.
Keisuke Moriwaki's room is messier than the other two people's rooms. If you look carefully, you can see pens almost everywhere. There are several open books and a notebook on the desk.
Moriwaki Keisuke sat on the bed and waved his hand, "Do whatever you want. There's nothing you can't see in public anyway."
Then he found a rubber band, a latest-date newspaper, and earplugs.
"Have you figured out who the murderer is, kid?"
Keisuke Moriwaki crossed his arms and looked at Yuya Morinaga as if he was enjoying a show.
Morinaga Yuya turned his head to look outside, and only then did Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei realize that Furuya Rei, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Uesugi Nobuyuki were not there.
I don’t know what they talked about, but after more than ten minutes, Uesugi Nobuyuki came into the house with red eyes.
"Thank you. I will turn myself in."
Zhu Fujingguang patted his shoulder and said, "Everything will be fine."
Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei moved closer to Morobushi Kagemitsu, eagerly awaiting his explanation. "Master Kage?"
"Police Academy Convenience Store."
Zhu Fujingguang didn't expect that the people who were robbed together in the convenience store seven years ago would still remember them.
"The case of Fujimura Airi was ultimately ruled a suicide. Uesugi didn't believe it and kept trying to overturn the verdict, but the police over there couldn't find anything. Plus, the case was a joint conclusion reached by several detectives, and the other detectives didn't want to get involved, so he orchestrated all of this."
Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin and said, "Then we should be considered as foreign aid."
Although I feel sorry for Uesugi Shin, "But he blew up my car!"
Matsuda Jinpei frantically held down Hagiwara Kenji, "Wait until Master Jing finishes speaking before you deal with him."
Zhu Fujingguang said quickly, "He will compensate you at the original price."
Kenji Hagiwara was discouraged. With this attitude, it would be difficult for him to deal with the other party.
"Really? Next time, could you please indicate on the invitation that you shouldn't drive?"
"But luckily he didn't see Zero at that time."
Zhu Fujingguang turned his head to look at Furuya Ling who was standing in the corner again.
The rain outside the window gradually subsided, and the police car arrived at the villa.
Inspector Megure arranged for someone to take the body back and take the criminal away at the same time.
In the corner, Yi Dahang silently looked at his good friend who had carried him to reunite.
Kenji Hagiwara quickly hid behind Jinpei Matsuda, bending over and trying to hide him well.
"Xiao Zhenping, I seem to be hallucinating."
Matsuda Jinpei moved silently and hid behind Morufushi Keimitsu, who reached out and pulled Furuya Rei to the front.
Fūya Rei smiled awkwardly and raised his hand, "Hi~"
After the police car left, Morinaga Yuya only saw four people rubbing their shoulders with ferocious expressions.
"As expected of Idago."
As soon as I returned to the villa, I saw a man with dark green hair appear in front of me.
"Senior, help me!"
