Chapter 36: Postmark Suspicion
"Mrs. Ninomiya, can you show me those letters you received!"
Lin Xiu was halfway through his words, and suddenly asked to take a look at the letters that Ninomiya Arisa had sent home. Mrs. Ninomiya hesitated slightly, and then left her seat with her husband's approval, and about ten minutes later, Mrs. Ninomiya picked up a stack of letters and handed them to Lin Xiuyi.
After Lin Xiuyi took these letters, he didn't pay attention to the contents of these letters. His attention was now all focused on the postmark on the envelope.
"Meguro!"
"Meguro!"
"Meguro!"
"Nakano!"
……
Lin Xiuyi quickly checked the postmarks on all the envelopes. The address for these letters was very different from that of Tomomi Yano's, and most of them came from Meguro Ward.
Lin Xiuyi put these checked letters on the coffee table with both hands, and then leaned over and whispered in Miki's ear.
"Miki, is there a branch of Todai in Meguro Ward?"
Miki heard Lin Xiuyi's question, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively to Lin Xiuyi.
Lin Xiu sat back in his seat in a clear way, and then pleaded with Mrs. Ninomiya.
"Mrs. Ninomiya, can I take these letters with me? I think we need to do a strict inspection of them. ”
"But......" The second palace couple heard Lin Xiuyi's request, and they didn't hesitate to refuse
"Please rest assured that when the case is over, we will return these items to you in their original ......"
Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to get up and say goodbye without waiting for the second palace couple to answer, and the words that the second palace wife was going to refuse didn't have time to say, but when she thought of Lin Xiuyi was the only policeman who cared about her daughter's whereabouts, she didn't say anything more.
"Police, do you suspect that the murderer approached the victim through professional talks?"
On the way back, Miki looked at Lin Xiuyi, who was speechless, and couldn't help but ask why Lin Xiuyi had just asked about the location of the Tokyo University branch at the Ninomiya house.
"I only thought of it when I heard Mrs. Ninomiya's words. The social relationships of students should be relatively simple, and I can't think of any other opportunities for them to meet other people other than the teachers and classmates at school. It's just that Mrs. Ninomiya reminded me that the career meeting was an event to invite seniors who graduated from prestigious universities to return to their alma mater to pass on their experiences......"
Lin Xiu, who was very unfamiliar with this, consulted Miki.
"Yes, and it's basically an invitation to those seniors who have been admitted to the University of Tokyo!"
Kamogawa City is not close to Tokyo, and on the way back to Tokyo from Kamogawa City, Hayashi Shuichi suddenly receives a call from Reina. Reina wanted to consult her brother on the phone about the tutoring class, so she told Lin Shuichi about the situation and fees of Suruga Juku over the phone.
Suruga Juku, one of the three major counseling institutions in the Kanto region, is known as an indispensable counseling institution for entering prestigious universities such as Tokyo University.
In Japan, because of the promotion of liberal education, there is not much pressure to study at school. But just relying on the knowledge of the professors in the school to get into a good university is tantamount to a fool's dream. Because of this invisible competitive environment, various tutoring institutions have become an indispensable choice for students who want to enter the university.
Although Rena and Shizuka are still in middle school, they still have a long way to go before the university entrance exam. However, if you can get into a better high school, you will have a better chance of getting into a prestigious university like Todai.
It was under this psychological effect that she couldn't lose at the starting line that Reina finally followed Shizuka's advice and applied for Suruga-juku's after-class tutoring class with her.
Because Lin Xiuyi hasn't gone home in the past few days, Ling Nai can only get in touch with her brother through her mobile phone. When Reina explained her thoughts on the phone, Lin Xiuyi supported Reina's idea without hesitation.
"But brother, the cost of tutoring is really not cheap, it costs about 150,000 yen a semester, we just bought a house, can we afford it now?" Ling Nai asked Lin Xiuyi worriedly on the phone.
"Reina-chan, there's no problem with this money at all, don't look at my brother, I'm just a newcomer who has just joined the work for more than a year, and this level of expenses is still not a problem. Lin Xiuyi said without mind on the other side of the phone.
"Oh, okay brother, when are you coming back, it's been a long time since I've had dinner with you, brother!" Ling Nai heard Lin Xiuyi's words, and suddenly there was an indescribable sense of steadiness in her heart, she really felt that her brother was really very, very amazing.
"I'm sorry.,I've been busy with work lately.,It's good to wait for this time!By the way.,Reina-chan,Do you know which school you're inviting for a career talk at Morimura Middle School?"
Lin Xiuyi suddenly remembered the postmark, so he asked Ling Nai about it.
"It should be Dongda, I haven't participated in the career talk yet, so the specific situation is not very clear, what's wrong brother?"
Reina thought about it, it seems that some classmates had mentioned this matter when they had lunch together, but she didn't ask much at the time, so she can't remember it very well now, but Reina still has some impressions of the fact that the seniors of Tokyo University participated in the career talks of Morimura School.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking!"
Lin Xiuyi casually diverted the topic.
After Lin Xiuyi hung up the phone, Miki asked with some curiosity about Reina's situation at school.
"Reina-chan is doing well at school!"
"Hmm, I don't know much about her at school, but I remember that I started preparing bento boxes for my classmates not long after I started school. I guess I've made a good friend!"
Lin Xiuyi knew what Miki meant by what she said, and in the past two days, they have learned how serious the phenomenon of school bullying in Japan is. However, Lin Xiuyi remembered that Ling Nai often talked about the happy things at school during the day at dinner, and she thought that she should have had a good time.
"By the way, Miki, remember to remind the Chiba Prefectural Police and ask them if they can find a list of relevant counselors for the career talk that Arisa Ninomiya participated in. When you return to Tokyo, you should ask Morimura School for similar information. I wonder if there are any of the same people on the two lists of counselors......"
"I understand the police department, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible......"
Miki replied seriously.
