Chapter 16: She's Just Too Sensible
In the coffee shop, the detectives were busy walking around, sometimes moving the tables and chairs, sometimes peeking at the first set of tables and chairs next to the store.
The vicinity had been vacated, leaving only Mu Yuan and Kurosawa sitting opposite each other.
Kurosawa was staring at Mu Yuan, his eyes full of suspicion.
Is this young monk really the host of Erquan Temple?
Kurosawa wasn't quite convinced.
But that robe......
The soft threads of pure gold are sometimes combined with the purple threads, and under the skill of the craftsmen, they are woven into a finch feather pattern that spreads throughout the robe.
When worn on the body, it is soft and drape, and even when sitting, you can't see half of the wrinkles.
Then it is illuminated by the sunlight outside the house and the light inside the house......
Mu Yuan's whole person is like sitting in a warm auspicious cloud, and the law is solemn.
β¦
Retracting his gaze, Kurosawa Qin no longer had any doubts about Mu Yuan's identity.
Anything can be faked, but this Nishijin woven robe, which can buy his entire store, can't be faked.
Such a big man should not be something that the police can ask for.
But if it weren't for the police, what would the dignified Erquan Domain Lord do with him?
The most important thing is......
Where did he get any daughter?
Or with Mayumi Uchida......
Kurosawa Qin frowned, raised his head and glanced at Mu Yuan.
After working alone for many years, he wanted to find the answer he wanted through this look-at-a-glance, but found that he ......
In Mu Yuan's seemingly standard smiling face, there was a pair of eyes that were completely devoid of human emotions!
"Domain, lord of the domain......" Kurosawa Qin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head, carefully paying attention to his words, and said, "I, contemptible...... I don't quite understand what you mean. β
He is not afraid of the police, because the police can't do anything with him.
In the book, as long as there is no ironclad evidence, it is possible to hire the best lawyer for a little money to block all other tentative investigations.
That's why he can be so arrogant and don't care about the attitude of the police at all.
But this young monk, who seems to be the idol male protagonist of the morning drama, is different.
A "Second Spring Domain Lord" already shows everything.
With such a big man, it couldn't be easier to crush him as a little barista.
Perhaps if you inadvertently mention a certain pilgrim, his coffee shop will disappear silently from Tsukimi Road in less than two days.
Moreover, the lord of the feudal domain is also acting in a strange way, and he just placed an order in a coffee shop that was blocked by the criminal police.
And those eyes that seem to lead to the abyss......
It's like that kind of monster who is in a high position but psychopathic.
Kurosawa didn't dare to be afraid.
β¦
All the psychological changes of Kurosawa Qin were fully seen by Mu Yuan.
That ugly heart is like a colander, and it can't hide any secrets.
Obviously, Kurosawa Qin didn't know that because the old host died too suddenly, Mu Yuan actually failed to inherit the old host's original social relationship.
But he was right, because GIN Sang would only be more "clean" when he started his hand.
However, this is a murder case, and overwhelming people with power will not help solve the case, and Mu Yuan does not plan to do so.
β¦
"Sachiko Uchida." Mu Yuan kept smiling and said bluntly, "She's your daughter, isn't she?" β
"Lord Domain, you're joking, but you don't have a daughter, and it's impossible to ...... with Mayumi."
"That could be my mistake."
Kurosawa opened her mouth, choking back on all the explanations she had prepared.
Mu Yuan didn't hold on to Sachiko Uchida's matter, but this matter was like a nail that pierced Kurosawa's heart.
Mu Yuan said again: "Mr. Kurosawa, can I take a look at your palm?" β
"This ......" Kurosawa Koto, who was already completely confused, gritted her teeth, "Lord Domain, may I ask you, what exactly are you trying to do here?" β
"I just want to get to know a little bit about the people around the deceased."
"You mean Mayumi?"
"I'm going to do a ritual for her."
ββ¦β¦ You should go to her husband for this kind of thing. β
"Can't I look for you?"
"This ...... You can also. β
Mu Yuan's continuous question-and-answer without any pause made Kurosawa feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
He couldn't figure out Mu Yuan's thoughts, and he didn't dare to offend Mu Yuan, so he had to nod and agree.
Mu Yuan said again: "Mr. Kurosawa, can I take a look at your palm?" β
Kurosawa's Adam's apple moved, and finally slowly stretched out his hands.
He didn't know why Mu Yuan had to look at his palm.
Maybe it's a clue, or maybe it's just a quirk?
He could only watch Mu Yuan's expression change nervously, hoping to find some clues.
But Mu Yuan just glanced at his hand and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Kurosawa was stunned, only to feel that her mind had completely drifted off the ground, and she couldn't find a place to stay.
β¦
"I came to the store last night to see Ms. Mayumi."
A moment later, Mu Yuan's voice sounded again, but this time his tone seemed to be much softer.
Kurosawa naturally focused all his thoughts.
"She told me about her daughterβ" Makito continued unhurriedly, "Sachiko Uchida. β
"She said that Sachiko has been a very sensible and good child since she was in kindergarten."
"Every morning, whenever she hears movement in the kitchen, Sachiko will get up by herself, wash her face and brush her teeth, and then come to prepare the noodles for the family's business that day."
"Because of her small size and small strength, Sachiko can't actually help too much, but she will still stand aside with her own small bench and do some auxiliary work of handing flour and water."
"Of course, there are occasional cases where you get more and more helped."
"But most of the other children were still in bed at that time, right?"
Following Mu Yuan's description, Kurosawa Qin only felt as if he had really seen a cute little girl with a face full of flour, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Seeing this, Mu Yuan's voice changed: "Because of the family's expenses, whether it is rent, water and electricity, or the living expenses of the two of them and Sachiko's tuition, they all depend on her alone, so Mayumi really doesn't have any money, so she goes to buy snacks and toys for Sachiko." β
"Every day when I go to pick up Sachiko from school, it is also the time when Mayumi is the most nervous."
"Because on the way home, the two of them will definitely pass by a snack shop and a toy store."
"These two stores are very popular among Sachiko-san, and almost every time you pass by, you can see Sachiko-sato's classmates picking out their favorite snacks and toys."
"Mayumi is really worried, worried that Sachiko will be greeted and shouted by her classmates, then she really doesn't know what to do."
"Fortunately, Sachiko never agreed to a classmate's invitation."
"Even when Sachiko's classmates had already come over with the latest toy and the latest flavor of ice cream, and asked Sachiko in person why she didn't go to the store to buy one like the other children, Sachiko just shook her head and said that she didn't like the toy, or that flavor of ice cream."
"Every time this happens, Mayumi will have a sense of happiness that she escaped death."
"After a long time, Mayumi thought that Sachiko really didn't like toys and ice cream, and gradually put her mind at ease."
"It wasn't until yesterday that Mayumi picked up Sachiko a little late because of something in the store, and she finally saw the truth."
She saw Sachiko standing alone outside the snack shop that had just closed, picking up a wrapper of the new ice cream from the trash can and licking it secretly.
At this time, Mayumi finally realized that Sachiko actually liked new toys and wanted to try new flavors of ice cream.
"The reason why she never wanted it was only because ...... She's too sensible. β
β¦
"You, you!"
Kurosawa stood up suddenly, and shouted excitedly:
"You made it up!"
