Officer Koji Ito stopped the car, and as soon as he got out of the car, a little beggar in unclothed clothes stopped Officer Koji Ito with a broken bowl and asked him for a handout. Officer Yoshiji Ito was about to pick up his wallet when the chef scooped up a bowl of ramen soup, walked over and poured it into the little beggar's broken bowl, and said angrily, "Leave here quickly after eating." Don't influence others to do the funeral. ”

The little beggar bowed, but did not leave, but sat on a bluestone in the corner of the wall, eating ramen in silence.

The cook complained, "As long as there is a funeral or a happy event in any family, this little beggar will always come to eat and drink, and it is estimated that he will stay here for a few days."

"Don't drive him away, be a beggar at such a young age, blame the pitiful." As he spoke, Officer Koji Ito walked up to the little beggar and handed him a few coins. The little beggar bowed again and giggled. Officer Koji Ito and Yoko Kudo walked into the house and came to the lobby. In the center of the lobby was the coffin of his old friend Long Ze Yichen, and on both sides of the hall were memorial wreaths sent by relatives, and Long Ze Yichen's son Long Ze Zongxiu sat next to the coffin, crying alone. The whole house was empty, and only the housekeeper was helping to take care of the clutter.

"Why hasn't anyone helped?" Yota Kudo muttered.

"That's what I don't understand." So, Officer Koji Ito asked Sohide Tatsuzawa why relatives and friends didn't come over and why there were so few people.

"The family road is in the middle, and the people go to tea and cool! When my father went bankrupt in business, he went into debt everywhere so that he died, and no one wanted to come and see him off. ”

Officer Koji Ito asked again, "And how much does your father owe in total?" ”

"Before and after, the cumulative total of 4 million owed!"

Officer Koji Ito was taken aback and said, "What? So much! I don't have a salary for the rest of my life

So much. ”

"And how much does your father owe your relatives?"

Long Ze Zongxiu went to check the account books and said, "Big."

Officer Koji Ito, who was about 100,000 yuan, softened his heart and said, "I'll lend you 100,000 yuan first, and you return the money to your relatives, and by the way, call them over to help." ”

Officer Koji Ito used his mobile phone to call Munehide Tatsuzawa for the money, and did as he said. Soon his uncle, aunt, aunt, and uncle came. Officer Koji Ito taunted Ryuzawa Sohide's aunt and said, "I paid you back the money, so you are willing to come?" You're in a good relationship. ”

His aunt said: "It's not that I refuse to come, I heard that the old mansion here has been haunted, and I am panicking."

Officer Koji Ito didn't believe her nonsense. Officer Koji Ito taunted Sohide Ryuzawa's uncle and said, "You are willing to come over only after paying you back?" You have a great relationship with your brother."

His uncle was displeased: "Do you know? I'm still single, and I don't have money to get a wife. But he didn't think about my brother either, so he borrowed my money and didn't pay it back. Isn't that angry, you say? ”

Officer Koji Ito thought to himself: Brotherly feelings are really not as good as money in front of him.

Officer Koji Ito taunted Sohide Ryuzawa's uncle and said, "You are willing to come over after paying you back?" Won't you help your nephew deal with the funeral? ”

His uncle was puzzled: "Won't I just come here?" It's just too late. ”

Officer Koji Ito asked Sohide Ryuzawa, "It's been a few days since your father died."

"It's been two days." Long Ze Zongxiu said sadly.

"Did you inform your relatives beforehand?"

"The day my father died, I was notified."

Officer Koji Ito glared at Munehide Tatsuzawa's uncle, knowing that Munehide Tatsuzawa's uncle's words were an excuse.

"Pay back your money, and you are willing to come? Now that your nephew is helpless, why don't you come and help? ”

His aunt said unceremoniously, "Come and help?" According to etiquette, Long Ze is dead, and I only need to contribute money. I'm already worthy of heaven and earth

Heart. Just a birdman like Long Ze Yichen, drive my sister away

Let's go. He's dead, my sister hasn't come, and I'm being polite to him when I come. ”

"It seems that my old friend's interpersonal relationship is really bad."

Then the relatives gathered together, chattering about something, and their eyes still looked at Officer Koji Ito from time to time. Officer Koji Ito walked up to them and asked, "What are you guys discussing?" ”

What drew was a bunch of expletives: "What? Check your account? Who are you? It's just a neurosis, how can anyone question someone at a funeral. ”

Officer Koji Ito rubbed his head in embarrassment and said, "My deceased's friend is like this out of professional habits. I'm so sorry.

Yota Kudo covered his mouth and snickered beside him. Then he turned his gaze to the old butler, who had been working silently, and had not said a word until now.

Yota Kudo had a question: Since he is bankrupt and owes so many debts, why didn't he fire the housekeeper?

Officer Koji Ito felt that there were still too few people, and in the countryside, as long as someone died in a normal household, to

Forty or fifty people came to help. This bleak situation made Officer Koji Ito feel sad. Officer Tang wanted to spend some more money to hire more than 20 people to come over to help, but at this time, Long Ze Yichen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, my father told me before he died, hold a funeral hastily, and don't have too many people, because he owes too much money to others." ”

According to etiquette, when a person dies, mourning music must be played, and Officer Koji Ito wants to play mourning music, but Tatsuzawa Sohide hurriedly stops it. Officer Koji Ito was a little displeased and said, "What do you mean by that?" This is how funerals are held. ”

"My father is gone, and he doesn't want too many people to know. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of debt collectors coming to collect debts. ”

Officer Koji Ito understood: the funeral was to be held in secret.

"I didn't expect that my family was prosperous before, but now it is so miserable."

Officer Koji Ito wants to see his old friend again

Appearance. Ryuzawa Soxiu obeyed his wishes, opened the coffin, and Fubo took the opportunity to lean over to take a look. The dead are calm

Serene, white face, black lips, dark circles. Kudo Yota thought: Is the deceased poisoned, why are his lips so black? Officer Koji Ito was about to fall into tears in both lines, and he couldn't help but want to touch the corpse. Tatsuzawa Sohide stopped him and said, "Uncle Ito, you can't do this. It is said that after entering the coffin, the corpse should not be touched again, otherwise it will cause the soul to fly away. ”

Officer Koji Ito reached back with great embarrassment, "I'm so sorry, gaffe, gaffe!" ”

Sohide Long Ze closed the coffin. Everyone is getting busy,

Until the evening. Long Ze Zongxiu arranged it for everyone

The room of the night asked. Yota Kudo suspects that Kazutomi Tatsuzawa was poisoned, so he wants to do some consultation. He thought first

It's the chef who wants to ask him some questions. But he has already gone back in the evening, and will not come back until tomorrow morning. The old butler was chopping wood, he was an old man in his sixties, and Yota Kudo went over to help.
