Chapter 217: The Flowering Cactus

"Hello hostess, we still have some things to ask you about today's case. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" As soon as Wataru Takagi walked into the small restaurant where the bearded man was drinking, he said straight to the point at a middle-aged woman sitting behind the counter.

"It's the police officer at noon? I know everything I know, and there's nothing to hide. Seeing Takagi Shibu, the middle-aged woman was slightly restrained, for ordinary people, the police basically will not deal with it a few times in their lives, let alone this kind of police who are responsible for investigating murders.

"Hello, did Mr. Higashida drink with you last night?" Duanmu Xuan entered the room, first looked around the restaurant, and his eyes stayed on a man with a thick mustache by the window, drinking wine, for a moment, and then turned his head to ask the middle-aged woman.

"Yes, yes, he drank at my place last night." In normal times, middle-aged women probably wouldn't pay attention to children like Duanmu Xuan, but now Gao Mu Xuan is beside her, although she doesn't know what the relationship between Duanmu Xuan's group of children and Gao Mu Xuan is, she still quickly answered Duanmu Xuan's question.

"Did he go back alone after drinking?" Duanmu Xuan continued to ask.

"No, Higashida drank a little too much last night, and Mr. Kitagawa sent him back." It can be seen that the bearded man usually drinks with middle-aged women, and the relationship between middle-aged women and him is obviously quite familiar.

"Kitagawa? Is that the person? Duanmu Xuan nodded, and then asked directly with his finger at the man with a thick mustache he had just noticed.

The man with a thick mustache is not bad, especially with the mature charm of a middle-aged man, it is estimated that it is with this good skin that he can successfully soak in the boss.

"Well, that's him, he sent Dongtian back yesterday." The middle-aged woman thought that Duanmuxuan had seen a photo or something before she came, so she was not surprised that Duanmuxuan knew about Beichuan's existence.

Conan and they were a little puzzled, how did Duanmu Xuan know Beichuan? Obviously, there was no mention of this person along the way.

"Do you know anything about the deceased Miss Muranishi? In particular, does Miss Muranishi have any unusual relationship with that Mr. Kitagawa? "Duanmu Xuan is now just thinking about finding evidence as soon as possible and ending this incident, where can he care about the details of where he knows Beichuan's appearance.

"Does Miss Muranishi and Mr. Kitagawa have any unusual relationship?" The middle-aged woman was stunned, but immediately, a raging fire called gossip ignited in her eyes.

"Do you think so too? Usually when I look at Miss Muranishi and Mr. Kitagawa, I feel that they seem to be a little unusual, although on the surface it seems to be just a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates, but in some eye interactions and details of speech, I can still see that their relationship should be quite close. ”

Sure enough, not only the aunt of the Celestial Empire gossiped, but also looked at the middle-aged woman who seamlessly switched from restraint to gossip, Duanmu Xuan sweated in his heart.

"Eh, Miss Muranishi and Mr. Kitagawa have an unusual relationship?" Wataru Takagi, who was listening to him on the side, was a little surprised, he had done an investigation about that Mr. Kitagawa before, but it was the first time that Miss Muranishi and Mr. Kitagawa had an unusual relationship, and this was a very important clue.

"When did you notice that their relationship was unusual, and it must have been a while now." Hearing what he wanted, Duanmu Xuan perked up and continued to ask.

"This seems to be quite long, at least two or three years." The middle-aged woman recalled it carefully before she spoke with some hesitation.

"Two or three years? Have you ever heard Miss Muranishi ask Mr. Kitagawa to marry her or something? ”

"Marry her? I haven't heard of this, but some time ago, the two seemed to have a conflict, and occasionally met me here, and they didn't even say anything. The middle-aged woman shook her head.

Haven't heard of it! Duanmu Xuan was a little disappointed, he originally thought that he could directly know from the middle-aged woman that Miss Muranishi had forced that Mr. Kitagawa to get married, but now it seems that without that marriage application form, there are really many things that cannot be accepted.

Sure enough, do you still want to go to his house to see it in person? Duanmu Xuan's eyes froze, glanced at Mr. Beichuan who was sitting by the window drinking, and then asked the middle-aged woman.

"You and that Miss Muranishi should be quite familiar with each other, can you roughly tell Miss Muranishi what hobbies Miss Muranishi has?"

"Miss Muranishi's hobby? Her favorite color is beige, her favorite team is the soul team, and she usually likes cacti, and when it comes to cacti, I gave her a pot of cactus last night. As soon as the middle-aged woman opened the conversation, she began to gush.

Cactus! Hearing the middle-aged woman mention the cactus, Duanmu Xuan's heart froze, and he had the urge to scold his mother again, this damn butterfly effect, if he hadn't gotten rid of the blood stains on the cactus, where would he still need to come here to trouble the cliché now, he could just put his hands behind his back, and pretended to say, "There is only one truth." ”

"Beige? Soul Team? Cactus? We seem to have seen all of this at Miss Muranishi's house. "From the beginning, the junior detective group, which could only be used as a foil, came out and brushed a wave of presence.

"Eh, have you been to Miss Muranishi's house? Did you see the Golden Tiger Cactus I gave to Miss Muranishi? It's beautiful, I've been raising it for many years, and it's all blooming, if it weren't for Miss Muranishi who has always taken care of my voice here, and for the fact that she likes cactus very much, I wouldn't give her that cactus. ”

When it comes to the cacti they raise, middle-aged women are a little proud, golden tiger cacti bloom is not common, only those who have been raised for more than 20 years will bloom.

In fact, the pot of cactus was not given to Miss Muranishi, but she sold it to Miss Muranishi, and once Miss Muranishi accidentally saw the pot of cactus she raised, soft and hard soaking, and the price was not low, so she reluctantly sold it.

As for why she lied, now that Miss Muranishi has died, everyone is busy picking herself out, and only a fool will have anything to do with her at this time.

"Blossom!" Duanmu Xuan's eyes froze, he didn't know anything about the varieties of cacti, but he was sure that none of the cacti he had seen in that village west lady's house had bloomed before.

"The cactus you gave to Miss Muranishi is a flowering cactus?"

"yes, what's wrong? Yellow flowers. The middle-aged woman looked at Duanmu Xuan with some confusion. (To be continued.) )
