Chapter 22: The Female Detective (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
I felt that this guest was quite unkind, and after Fu Jixianli came here, she naturally found him quickly, but she still sat there motionless, with no intention of standing up or bowing down at all.
Fu Jixian had no choice but to silently walk to the corner of the living room, and after taking a cushion himself, he sat opposite the other party across the table...... It is impossible for him to sit on his knees, he must sit comfortably and casually.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Fu Jixian naturally didn't have to hide his strangeness to other people, whether it was before or after he came to this world, the other party never left any impression on him.
"Natsumi, you can call me Natsumi, I'm a third-year student majoring in crime and criminal psychology at a university in Tokyo." The other party put down the teacup in his hand, and then introduced himself like this.
However, this brief introduction can only show that she is not a suspicious person who has illegally invaded, and in essence, Fu Jixian still does not know her intentions.
"Hello, I'm Fu Jixian...... I guess I don't know Miss Natsushi, right? Have we seen each other? Fu Jixian asked again.
From the other party's emphasis on her major, he couldn't say that he had no clue why this person came here. It's just that she's just a college student, and of course Fu Jixian can't emphasize that she is not a criminal as soon as they meet, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here.
And needless to say, Fu Jixian has never done anything illegal and undisciplined, even if he did, it would not be the turn of college students to take care of this kind of thing...... Dealing with inexplicable monsters is certainly not a crime.
"I didn't know each other before that, and there was no intersection between me and Mr. Fu Jixian.
I came to Yamanashi from Tokyo to find Mr. Fu Jixian because of a vicious incident that had happened in Tokyo before...... Some issues may require Mr. Fu Jixian to assist us in investigating. ”
This explanation is quite straightforward, thanks to her, Fu Jixianli's speculation about her intentions soon became a reality - he can probably understand what the other party's "vicious incident" refers to.
But the question is, why would a college student investigate it? Is she participating in a club like the Occult Society?
And why she came straight to this side.
"A malignant incident?"
Before figuring out these questions, Fu Jixian decided to communicate with the other party according to the "normal reaction" of a normal person.
"Yes, that's right......
A body was stolen from a hospital morgue, soaked in a chemical liquid of unknown composition, and then taken to an alley for brutal dismemberment in the middle of the night...... It's like it's for some kind of cult ritual. ”
This is completely right, I can only say......
The other party asked the right person.
But Fu Jixianli's mood did not fluctuate at all, and at this time he only felt ...... Is that how ordinary people characterize that incident?
He smiled and said, "What else is there to do with corpses?" Now there's everybody...... So, what does this have to do with me? ”
"The hospital that was stolen is the Tokyo Metropolitan University Hospital, Mr. Fu Jixian, you should have been in Tokyo not long ago, and you were in that hospital for medical treatment, right?"
Fu Jixian made a surprised expression, "Is there anything suspicious about me?" Also, I'm curious why Miss Xia Shi, a college student, is investigating this kind of thing, shouldn't it be the job of the police? ”
"The police sometimes delegate certain tasks to more specialized people, and I sometimes take on this kind of work for some special reasons...... So you don't have to worry, I'm not a suspicious person, this is an official investigation. ”
Although I don't understand the thinking of the police in Tokyo, if this is a formal investigation, then Fu Jixian will have to worry.
"Is it paid?"
"Huh?"
The sudden change in the topic made Xia Shi scratch his head.
"I mean, is there any reward for taking on this kind of commission?"
"If you conduct an investigation, you will be funded, and if you get some substantive results, you will be paid an additional fee."
"College students will be more professional than police officers? So the taxpayer's money ......," Fu Jixian shook his head.
Well, capitalists are always like this, habitually attacking state institutions and more habitually questioning the way tax revenues are used.
"Well, as a good citizen, I am certainly willing to cooperate with such an investigation...... But it's not because of the nature of the investigation, it's because you're a young woman, and I'm a person. ”
“……”
Will a truly personable person put the words "I have a demeanor" on his lips, Xia Shi expressed doubts.
However, there is one thing to say, Fu Jixianli's attitude is indeed very soft. He could have ignored the so-called investigation, and could even just drive this person out, but instead of doing so, he showed his willingness to cooperate...... The main thing is that he wants to find out what the other party is up to.
To put it bluntly, it is very likely that this Miss Natsumi is just a private detective who wants to get an official bounty, and her behavior when she comes to Yamanashi should only be characterized as a "summer part-time job".
"If you suspect me of suspicion, there must be something wrong."
Fu Jixian seemed to recall something he didn't want to recall, and then continued to organize the language and said:
"I was hospitalized with serious injuries, and I was in a serious car accident that was said to be quite restrictive, and I heard that I was almost reassembled by the doctors...... That was only five or six months ago, and I've been in different hospitals ever since.
I think the corpse in the morgue should be hard and heavy, you see, like me, I have the ability to steal the corpse and dismantle the corpse in pieces?
If I could do that kind of thing, it would be a little too mysterious...... It's not a matter of motivation, it's a matter of hardware conditions that don't allow it at all. ”
"That's true," Xia Shi nodded in agreement with his statement, "I have investigated Mr. Fu Jixian a little beforehand, and in your situation, this kind of thing cannot be done in theory." ”
“……”
Fu Jixian was speechless, this kind of invasion of other people's privacy, she actually said it openly.
"Because the source is that hospital, it is a common idea to start investigating from that hospital, and more importantly, ......" Speaking of this, Xia Shi paused, she seemed to be observing Fu Jixianli's reaction, and it can be seen that he didn't react at all, so she had to continue, "More importantly, there were three eyewitnesses at the scene of the incident. ”
"Shouldn't it be better to track down if there are eyewitnesses?" Fu Jixian asked rhetorically, as if questioning why the other party could find the wrong person.
Xia Shi shook his head, "Witnesses didn't see the full picture of the suspect, and they may have been so frightened at the time that they ......"
"So much?"
"Nothing."
So much so that he mistakenly regarded the corpse in the transportation as a zombie that could move on his own, and Xia Shi felt that there was no need to say it if he was so sick.
"But I still hand-drew a map of the suspect's characteristics based on their description."
As she spoke, she took out an A4 piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Fu Jixianli.
Fu Jixianli took the paper, and then he saw a portrait of a young man holding an umbrella with only the lower half of his face exposed.
Then he shook his head and laughed, and laughed a little funny:
"Miss Xia Shi, you're a little too ridiculous...... Can you judge this person by one jaw that I am? ”
But that's what he thought in his heart......
Damn, this woman is really awesome, why can she find me with a chin?
It's not scientific.
