Rika Nomi drove Hayashi Kai and Kyoko Fukada home, and the two agents did not accompany them.

Along the way, Rika was able to say nothing.

Have something to ask?

Lin Hai endured all the way, and finally couldn't help it when he came to the vicinity of Kyoko's residence.

"I said ......"

"What do you think of this case?" said Rika coldly.

Lin Hai asked rhetorically: "This is a headache for the police, right?"

Rika Nomi said, "Since you promised to be corrected by the Daejeon police, you should be responsible." ”

Responsible?

Lin Hai was very skeptical that Saika understood what Ota Masao meant.

The police needed a mascot, but they didn't need a-stirring stick, and Lin Hai wouldn't want to get involved if he could.

Seeing Rika, he didn't intend to let him go, and since he said it, he simply said it more clearly.

"I want you to help solve the case. ”

"The police don't have a clue?"

"No key evidence has been found for the time being. ”

If you don't have a clue, you have to be hard-mouthed.

Lin Hai suddenly became interested and asked, "What good will I do to help you solve the case?"

"Not to help me, but to help yourselves. ”

Rika Nomi corrected: "The murderer's target is Ken Kajima, and Ken Kajima's target is you, if you can't catch the murderer as soon as possible, I'm afraid you will also be in danger." ”

This logic ...... Lin Hai was also convinced.

If you don't have a thousand enemies, you'll be embarrassed to go out. Moreover, Lin Hai is strictly speaking his enemy, as the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, Lin Hai does not think that the murderer will target him.

Lin Hai was not fooled, but Kyoko believed it, and she asked with a worried face: "That murderer, won't he hide near my house?"

"Chances are, maybe his target was you. ”

"Ah......h

Lin Hai had to interrupt them, and said angrily to Rika Nomi: "Isn't it interesting to scare people? Isn't it just to solve the case, if you can guarantee that no one will trouble me afterwards, it will not be a problem to help you." But you're going to have to at least tell me the details—uh......"

Seeing that Rika was obviously prepared, she threw a file directly on Lin Hai's lap.

How much does she dislike talking?

Lin Hai muttered in his heart and opened the file.

……

Ken Kajima, male, 33 years old, is a journalist for BUBKA magazine.

said that he was a reporter, but what he did was completely a paparazzi in Lin Hai's eyes.

And it's a hard-working over-the-top paparazzi.

According to the materials compiled by the police, in the past two years, Ken He Dao has exposed a large number of scandals and black materials of artists under the pen name "Mu Dusk Jian". It can be said that the sales growth of "BUBKA" in the past two years has been due to Ken Kajima.

Because of this, Ken Kajima joined BUBKA just two years ago and was promoted to associate editor.

"This guy was promoted a bit fast......" Lin Hai muttered to himself.

"It shouldn't be an internal contradiction. Rika Nomimi said: "The police went to the magazine office in the morning to find out, and Ken Kajima is very popular. ”

"Unlikely, right?"

Lin Hai felt that as long as it was a place where people gathered, it was impossible to have no contradictions, not to mention that "Mu Dujian" was too eye-catching, and it was difficult to ensure that other reporters and editors would not be blushing.

Seeing Rika guessing Lin Hai's thoughts, he said: "The deputy editor-in-chief of Ken Kajima is only in name, and he himself does not receive a salary, nor does he receive remuneration. ”

"How is this possible?"

Ken Kajima's father was the president of a medium-sized trading company, and he once told a friend that breaking news was just a hobby. In addition, he and his father have no siblings. ”

In other words, it can't be for the sake of competing for family property.

Lin Hai felt very speechless.

It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds......

Looking at the world, the rich second generation can play, and although it is rare, it is definitely not unique.

Compared with those rich second generations and star second generations who went to the sea to make films, Ken He Dao is already very reliable.

"So...... No one has been bothering Ken Kajima because his father is behind him?"

"Nope. Rika Nomi shook her head and said, "Ken Kajima's father doesn't support him, and he has drawn a line with him since last year and no longer has anything to do with him." In addition, it's not that no one has ever troubled him, but the incidents exposed by Ken Kajima have conclusive evidence, so most celebrities don't want to make a big deal out of it. ”

"That's ......"

Lin Hai felt very tricky.

Judging from the known situation, I am afraid that there are many people who have offended him, and these people have a motive for committing crimes, so is it possible to investigate them one by one?

Lin Hai scratched his head and continued to look down.

Ken Kajima's body was found under a bridge near Shirokanedai 2-chome, and an autopsy concluded that he had been fatally hit in the back of the head with a blunt object, and that the time of death was about 7 pm to 8 pm yesterday.

No wonder the Daejeon police ruled out Lin Hai's suspicion of committing the crime, at that time, he was either in KTV or in the game hall, no matter where he was, there was a conclusive alibi.

"Isn't there any surveillance near the place of the crime?"

"Nope. The only sighting clue is that Ken Kajima bought a bottle of Coke at a nearby convenience store around six o'clock. ”

"Are you sure it's him?"

"Hmm. ”

Continuing to flip back, there are photos taken at the scene, Kyoko can't hold back her curiosity, looks at it, and then retchs.

Kyoko covered her mouth with one hand and gestured to Lin Hai with the other.

"Parking. Lin Hai said to Rika Nomi.

The car stopped, and Kyoko rushed to the side of the road under a tree and threw up.

Lin Hai patted her on the back and said softly, "It's so curious." Do you feel better?"

"It's a lot better, it's just a pity that the pork chop rice at noon ......"

Kyoko had a wrong brain, looked down, and retched again.

Lin Hai pulled her aside with a black thread and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

After wiping it, Lin Hai planned to find a trash can to throw away the handkerchief, but was asked by Kyoko.

"I'll wash your ...... for you"

Kyoko's voice was a little hoarse.

Back in the car, Lin Hai picked up the thermos cup, only to find that the water in it had been emptied.

"It's not far anyway, let's go over and buy a bottle of water. ”

Lin Hai's stomach was also a little uncomfortable, and he needed to drink some water to press it.

……

Rika can be seen to park the car in the designated parking space, the three of them got out of the car and walked, to the door of a convenience store, Rika can be seen said suddenly.

"That's what I was talking about. ”

What a coincidence.

The three of them walked into the store, and the store manager greeted them warmly.

Maybe it's because the police just came in the morning, and the store manager saw Rika Nomi and took the initiative to inquire about the investigation of the case.

If you change to an ordinary policeman, you may choose some irrelevant ones to gossip with him, but unfortunately the store manager met Rika Nomi.

The store manager, who touched the hard nail, turned to Hayashi Hai and Kyoko.

The store manager and Kyoko were quite familiar, greeted with a smile, looked at Lin Hai, and looked at it scrutinically.

"Are you dating?" the manager's tone was sour, but his attitude was polite.

Without waiting for Lin Hai to speak, Kyoko preemptively said, "No! Yes...... Anyway, don't ask around!"

"Haha, okay, I won't ask. ”

The store manager laughed and didn't continue to get to the bottom of it.

Speaking of which, the attitude of the Japanese people towards artists tends to be two extremes. True love fans can give everything for their idols and even die, while passers-by generally maintain a normal heart. As for black powder, although there are also them, strictly speaking, they are Korean patents.

If Japanese people hate someone, they usually take a cold approach, and in fact, this indifference is far more devastating than a mad dog's indiscriminate bite.

Artists, not afraid of the dark, only afraid of the cold.

……

"What do you buy today?" asked Kyoko, the store manager.

Lin Hai said: "Three bottles of Pocari-sweat. ”

Rika said, "I'm not thirsty. ”

"That's two bottles, room temperature. ”

The store manager nodded and gave Lin Hai and Kyoko a bottle of Pocari Water.

Pocari Water is the No. 1 selling functional drink in Asia, and is also known as the "Khan no Drink" in Japan, and its composition is said to be very close to the body fluids of the human body.

Kyoko has just vomited, and it is more appropriate to drink Pocari than mineral water.

When paying, the store manager's eyes finally changed when he looked at Lin Hai.

"Are you the friend of that girl, who is very good at reasoning?"

"Yes, my name is Lin Hai. ”

"It's you. The store manager glanced at Rika and asked, "Aren't you helping the police solve the case?"

"Did you see that?"

"Haha, I was also a fan of Edogawa Ranbu! When I was in school, everyone called me 'Honda who sees through the truth at a glance'......"

The store manager began to brag, Lin Hai was not in a hurry to interrupt him, drank the water slowly, and after a while, took advantage of him to stop for air and seized the opportunity to ask, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Absolutely!"

"The dead man, have you seen it before?"

"I used to ......," the store manager thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "I didn't have an impression before." ”

"I noticed that he was ordinary-looking, why did you recognize him at a glance?"

"You ask this, I've changed other guests, maybe I can't remember, but that guest is different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"He only bought a bottle of Coke, but he paid for 'Prince Shotoku'. ”

No wonder the store manager was impressed by Ken Kajima. The Japanese like to use the names of the characters on the banknotes to refer to the face value, and Prince Shotoku generally refers to the old 10,000 yen banknotes before 1984.

Buying a bottle of Coke with a 10,000 yen bill is really easy to attract attention.

What's more, although "Prince Shotoku" is still in circulation, it is rarely seen in daily life.

"This is it. ”

The store manager pulls out a bill from the hardcover.

"To be honest, I thought it was a counterfeit banknote, but it's rare to see such a new 'Prince Shotoku' these days, so I'm going to keep it away......"

Lin Hai looked at Rika Nomi inquiringly.

Rika walked over, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's a real banknote." ”

Lin Hai continued to ask the store manager: "Did he have anything special on him at that time? ”

The store manager was not sure and said, "I didn't pay much attention, probably not." ”

"I noticed that parking is available outside the store, is he coming by car?"

"Nope. The store manager added: "I was unloading outside the store at the time, and I was sure he came on foot. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you very much. ”

Lin Hai and the store manager said a few polite words, waited for Kyoko to finish drinking water, put the two empty bottles into the basket of recycled plastic bottles, said hello to the boss, and left the convenience store.
