"I said, Brother Lin, can you stop selling Guanzi?"

Masao Ota said with a strange expression.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Lin Hai realized that the "detective game" was too involved - he was not pretending to be like that, he was just enjoying the process of slowly tightening the rope around the neck of his prey.

Since it has made people unhappy, Lin Hai no longer sells Guan Zi and directly uncovers the mystery.

"The real murderer who killed Genji Hirai is you, Mr. Komatsu!"

Lin Hai pointed at Komatsu Kyoko with an imposing attitude.

"Me?"

Kyoko Komatsu seemed surprised, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, Mr. Hirai has an accident in my shop, and I am indeed responsible." ”

She fell to the ground and apologized to the crowd.

"Ahem, this, Brother Lin, do you have any evidence for saying that?"

No matter how Masao Ota looks, he can't connect the soft and timid Kyoko Komatsu with the murderer.

"If you want to talk about evidence, it's still the first thing you discovered. ”

Lin Hai said, taking out a transparent evidence bag from his pocket.

Lin Hai put on his gloves, took out a small piece of bamboo, and motioned for everyone to look at it.

"It's ...... Cut from shakuhachi?"

Kanda was the first to recognize the origin of the evidence.

"I'm sorry. Lin Hai said to her: "I lied to you before, in fact, the police did not find shakuhachi from Mr. Hirai, this section was accidentally found by me from the top of the locker." ”

"That's not ......"

As soon as Takashi Uesugi spoke, he heard Masao Ota cough heavily.

Lin Hai glared at Uesugi and said unceremoniously: "If the police department wants to express its opinion, it's best to wait for me to finish speaking!"

Masao Ota also walked up to Takashi Uesugi and said earnestly, "Listen more, watch more, and talk less." ”

"You may wonder, what's so special about shakuhachi? First of all, this stanza is the song of shakuhachi......"

What is Songkou?

The mouth of the song is the end used for blowing.

Shakuhachi is similar to Xiao, but the song mouth is an external incision, which is easier to break than Xiao and so, so the song mouth is inlaid with materials such as horn and ivory.

Depending on the shape of the inlay of the song, it is possible to accurately determine the genre to which it belongs.

"Kanda-san, can you see which genre this shakuhachi belongs to?"

"Qin Guliu, my grandfather taught Qin Guliu. ”

"Kanda-san doesn't like shakuhachi, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Because you don't see the difference between it and the regular Kotokoru shakuhachi. ”

"Yes, I've been studying for a while, but to be honest, I'm not interested in it at all. ”

Kanda said irritably: "Whether it's shakuhachi, fan dance, and this old-fashioned city! I don't want to stay for a day! Why can't I pursue my dreams? Just because I was born into a family like that? To be honest, I'm really fed up!"

Kanda's sudden outburst startled everyone.

It's pitiful to think about her.

her

Growing up in a family where her grandfather was a well-known shakuhachi master, her grandmother was a fan dance celebrity in the Kansai region, and her mother taught the guqin, you can imagine how much resistance from her family was when she wanted to become a pop singer.

Not only her, but also her sister, the rebellion of the two sisters is largely caused by the environment in which they were raised.

You ask their fathers?

I'm sorry, that's a son-in-law, and I don't have much right to speak.

……

"Brother Lin, what do you mean by the difference?"

Masao Ota is desperate to know what follows.

Lin Hai replied: "Judging from the mosaic shape of the song mouth, this shakuhachi is not the modern Kotoko-ryu shakuhachi, but an even older form between the ancient shakuhachi. ”

"Is there anything special?"

"This shakuhachi, which I have seen in museums, is a ritual vessel of a void monk from the Edo period, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cultural relic. But it is not an ordinary cultural relic, and Mr. Hirai decided to give it to Kanda-san as a 'token of love', which shows that he cherishes it very much, so this shakuhachi should have been handed down by his ancestors. ”

"As I said before, Mr. Hirai had made threatening phone calls to me, and one of the things that worried me at the time was that his voice sounded buzzing. Combined with this 'song mouth', it can be imagined that he was wearing a canopy to make a phone call at that time, and the purpose should be to hide his identity. So where is the canopy?"

The canopy of the void monk is a bamboo hat similar to a chicken coop, which is buckled on the capital, like a bamboo basket. Ota Masao thought about the shape of the canopy and felt that it made sense, so he asked, "What does this mean?"

"The canopy, shakuhachi, and the box are the three treasures of the void monk. Since it is handed down from the ancestors, it must be treated solemnly, and the canopy is not as easy to carry around as shakuhachi...... So, my conclusion is that Mr. Hirai has a property nearby. ”

Lin Hai said this and looked at Kyoko Komatsu.

"You should know very well, Mr. Komatsu?"

Kyoko Komatsu bowed her head and said, "Yes." Shochiku-an is the ancestral property of Mr. Hirai. ”

"What?!"

Ota Masao was taken aback, and said angrily to the police officers involved in the questioning: "Why haven't such important clues been found?"

The police officer argued: "The owner of the house is obviously called Jiro Sato......"

After listening to this, Masao Ota was confused again.

Lin Hai said: "Jiro Sato should be Mr. Hirai's original name. ”

Lin Hai said and walked up to the barbecue stall owner.

"You say yes, Ichiro Sato, or Taro?"

The barbecue stall owner said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, my name is Yuichi Yamauchi, I said, how long are you going to grind? My business has been delayed by you!"

Lin Hai asked rhetorically: "Does Boss Yamauchi know about the dNA identification? Whether the two people are related by blood or not, as long as they identify it, you will know." ”

The barbecue stall owner stopped talking.

After a while, he asked, "How did you guess that? Just because we look alike?"

This is equivalent to admitting it in disguise.

Lin Hai said: "Looks like is only one aspect, there are other reasons

A lot. ”

"For example?"

"Not everyone can set up a stall on Hanami Koji, if you guess correctly, you are a member of the Sugiguchi group?"

When the police heard this, they immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy.

"So what?" asked the barbecue stall owner.

Ota Masao replied for Lin Hai, "It is rumored that Genji Hirai is related to the Sugiguchi group. ”

"That's it?"

Lin Hai said: "Another thing is that when Mr. Hirai called me, he suddenly broke off in the middle of the call. I didn't understand why at the time, but when I remembered it, you just asked me if I wanted to put chili peppers, and I thought Mr. Hirai must have heard your voice, so I subconsciously hung up the phone. ”

"That's too far-fetched, isn't it?"

"It's far-fetched, but now that you've admitted it, there's a lot to be found in this detail. For example, your two brothers don't have a good relationship. ”

"Hmph!" Yuichi Yamauchi said angrily, "First of all, I'm no longer a member of the Sugiguchi group. Secondly, I came back this time to pay homage to my ancestors, but that bastard turned me away! Seriously, it's too late for me to be happy that he's dead!"

Lin Hai ignored his complaints and turned his gaze back to Kyoko Komatsu.

"Since the property belongs to Mr. Hirai, it is not surprising that he appeared there, Shochiku-an is a two-story building, and Mr. Komatsu only rents one floor, right?"

"Yes. ”

"The waitress in the store, you took it on purpose, right?"

"No, at that time of day, everybody goes to dinner. ”

"That's weird. It was the busiest time of the day, and you allowed the clerk to go out. ”

"There is no way. Kyoko Komatsu said helplessly, "Now that the economy is sluggish, people's interest in traditional culture is not as good as before, so ......"

"So you're running into a problem. Lin Hai showed a triumphant smile: "Maybe it's because you can't pay the rent, or other economic reasons, in short, you have no choice but to kill the other party......"

Lin Hai's reasoning was interrupted by Koshiro Matsumoto.

Koshiro Matsumoto said, "You misunderstood. Mr. Komatsu did have difficulties in her business, and she told me about it, but she couldn't have killed people for money. Because just last month, she just got an investment, and the investment in her is also a regular customer in the store, and the other party has no time limit for repayment, so she actually has no financial pressure......"

"Mr. Matsumoto knows each other?"

"Yes. Koshiro Matsumoto said to Masao Ota: "When the police confirm it, they will know that I am not lying." ”

"Am I mistaken?"

Lin Hai scratched his head and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said, "Maybe I made a mistake in this matter, but I have more than one evidence." ”

He took a teacup from the police officer in charge of keeping the evidence and said to Kyoko Komatsu, "Does Mr. Komatsu remember this cup?"

"Every cup in the store is hand-picked by me......"

"That's not what I mean. Lin Hai shook his head and said, "When you killed me, I poured a cup of tea."

, remember?"

"I don't understand ......"

"You mean, the person who attacked you was Mr. Komatsu?"

Masao Ota's eyes widened.

Lin Hai nodded.

"Didn't you say it was a man who attacked you?"

"That's my mistake. Lin Hai said, "Prajna mask." The person who attacked me was wearing a Prajna mask, which is not normal. ”

Masao Ota asked, "Isn't it normal to wear a mask to hide your identity?"

"Too normal is not normal. Lin Hai smiled: "There may be a suspicion of boasting when you say this, but at that time, in that case, another person was basically dead." ”

"Definitely. Ota Masao nodded and said, "Unarmed and attacked again, it is difficult for normal people to survive." ”

"If you are sure that you can kill the other person, do you still use it to hide your identity? You might say that wearing a mask is for the purpose of intimidation, but in my opinion, Mr. Komatsu may be more effective if he does not wear a mask......

Masao Ota was robbed of white and looked at Kyoko Komatsu.

Lin Hai continued.

"So, wearing a mask, in addition to hiding your identity, has the purpose of distracting and even misleading others. ”

"Misleading?"

Lin Hai paced and said unhurriedly: "Let me tell you about the situation at that time - for some reason, Komatsu Kyoko was going to kill Hirai Genji, so he smeared poison on Hirai Genji's shakuhachi song mouth in advance. ”

Poison? Where did the poison come from? Why did it get poisoned again?

A few people who knew the origin of the song felt inexplicable, but they were all smart and silent. As for Takashi Uesugi, who has a bit of an axis in his brain, because he was beaten repeatedly, he was stared at by Lin Hai, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew that it was not the time to ask.

Lin Hai retracted his gaze, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to restore the original context-

Before Genji Hirai went on a blind date, he first went to Shochiku-an and changed out of the suit he wore at school during the day.

Kyoko Komatsu heard that he was going on a blind date, so while he was changing clothes, she poisoned the song mouth of Shakuhachi, in order to blame Hirai Genji's blind date. However, Kyoko Komatsu may have heard him play shakuhachi in private, but she didn't know that he never performed outside, so her plot did not succeed.

After Hirai Genji went on a blind date, he returned to Shochiku Nunnery and made a threatening phone call to Lin Hai. While on the phone, he hears the voice of Yuichi Yamauchi (the owner of the barbecue stall) and learns that Hayashi Kai is on Hanami Koji.

So, he took a handful of ribs and prepared to go out to intimidate Lin Hai.

Genji Hirai goes downstairs and bumps into Kyoko Komatsu.

Kyoko Komatsu discovers that Genji Hirai is not dead, and fears that he will die in the store or somewhere else, leading to the revelation of his crimes, so she finds an excuse to trick him into taking a bath in order to steal shakuhachi.

As a result, before Komatsu Kyoko stole the shakuhachi, Lin Hai and the others arrived.

Komatsu Kyoko had no choice but to entertain Lin Hai first.

At the same time, Hirai Genji heard the sound of talking outside and learned that Lin Hai was going to talk to Kanda Ramiko in private.

After a fierce battle between heaven and man, Genji Hirai finally made up his mind to have a showdown with Kanda, so he sent a text message to Kanda.

Kanda received a text message and went to the women's locker room to see Genji Hirai. (Why Hirai chose the women's locker room, the reason is not explained.) ）

After meeting, Hirai confessed to Kanda, but was rejected, and in frustration, he chose to commit suicide.

In the process, Kyoko Komatsu hid in the men's locker room next door—or in the women's restroom opposite. In short, she knows the secret between the two.

After making sure that Kanda was leaving, Kyoko Komatsu entered the women's locker room and planned to blackmail Hirai Genji with this incident, but it turned out that Hirai Genji was dead.

The person was not killed by Kyoko Komatsu, so logically speaking, she didn't need to be nervous, but she found that the poisoned shakuhachi couldn't be found.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, Kyoko Komatsu immediately decided to blame others.

She hid Genji Hirai in a locker, quickly cleaned up the scene, and then picked up Genji Hirai's ribs, put on a men's yukata, put on a noodle, and pretended to be Genji Hirai to attack Kumiko Kanda.

Yes, her real target is not Lin Hai, but Kanda Raimiko.

She wanted to disguise the whole incident as a "suicide" after the "love killing".

However, what Kyoko Komatsu didn't expect was that Kanda didn't go back to find Lin Hai, and almost killed the wrong person.

When Lin Hai said this, he said to Kyoko Komatsu: "If it wasn't for Mr. Hirai's body being discovered, did you plan to make a mistake?"

Kyoko Komatsu remained silent.

At this time, the owner of the barbecue stall, Yuichi Yamauchi, spoke.

"I have a question that I can't figure out. ”

"Please. ”

"You said that Mr. Komatsu pretended to be Genji Hirai, which is unlikely, right?"

"What's impossible?" Lin Hai asked rhetorically, "She is about the same height as Hirai, and she is familiar with the other party's habits, as a geisha (the name of the Kanto people for geisha) has superb acting skills, plus she can distract herself, what's so difficult about playing a man?"

"Even so......" Yuichi Yamauchi still couldn't believe it, glanced at Komatsu Kyoko, and then said to Lin Hai: "Even so, it's too child's play for you to take a cup as evidence." ”

"About this cup. Lin Hai showed the mouth of the cup to the people around him and said: "Bone china is denser than ordinary porcelain, but it is also thinner, I used it to block the knife, but it didn't break, what does this mean? That's the first point. ”

"Second, when I heard the screams, the other party didn't continue to attack, I'm afraid not because it was too late, but because I realized that there was no point in killing me. ”

Lin Hai paused for a moment and looked at Kyoko Komatsu: "Of course, there is really not much time, Mr. Komatsu didn't find that his hair was not coiled carefully enough?"

Everyone looked at Kyoko Komatsu and saw that her hair was indeed a little messy.

Yuichi Yamauchi said: "This is all unfounded speculation, you also said at the beginning, you need to go around from the women's locker room to your tea room, and it is impossible not to be bumped into by others......"

"Maybe there's a secret door in the teahouse?"

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!"

"Alright. ”

Kyoko Komatsu

Suddenly, he interrupted the two of them.

"I admit that everything is as Lin Jun said. ”

Kyoko Komatsu said, and suddenly began to untie her clothes.

The girls exclaimed in surprise, and the men glared.

However, there was no glamorous scene.

Kyoko Komatsu takes off her costume and reveals the men's yukata underneath.

There is no need to explain anymore.

……

The real culprit finally surfaced, and Masao Ota looked at Kyoko Komatsu and couldn't tell what it was like.

He sighed and said, "Mr. Komatsu, although you didn't kill the person, you still broke the law by falsifying the scene and intending to attack others, so I will arrest you now in the name of the Kyoto police, do you have no objection?"

"Nope. ”

Kyoko Komatsu lowered her head and stretched out her hands to Rika Azumi.

"Wait!"

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Yuichi Yamauchi suddenly spoke.

Kyoko Komatsu raised her head abruptly and anxiously shouted to Yuichi Yamauchi, "Taro!"

"Is it worth it?" asked Yuichi Yamauchi.

Kyoko Komatsu didn't say anything.

Yuichi Yamauchi sighed and said to Ota Masao: "Officer, this matter has nothing to do with Kyoko from beginning to end, and the real murderer is actually me." ”

Ota Masao never thought that such a play would come out again at the end.

Masao Ota, who thought he had guessed the other party's thoughts, said, "Mr. Kanonai, I can understand your feelings, but it's ...... to blame or something."

"Let him continue. "Lin Hai stopped Masao Ota.

Yuki Yamauchi looked at Lin Hai: "You don't seem to be surprised?"

"Of course. ”

"Why don't you continue?"

"Nope. ”

Lin Hai smiled and said to Yuichi Yamauchi: "My mission is only to find out the real culprit, as for the truth, please tell everyone." ”
