Chapter Twenty-Three: Don't Sleep Today!
Kiyomi Ruri finished dinner aggrieved, was punished for cleaning up the table, washing dishes, mopping the floor, and only got rid of it after doing a lot of housework, and returned to his room depressed to start writing homework - private Yuying University is a prestigious school that pursues the admission rate, and it is better to do homework early because of its strict study and grades.
But she had just suffered a lot of grief, and she was so aggrieved that she couldn't write more than two lines when she took out her homework, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at her hardcover notebook.
I didn't figure out the case, I couldn't calm down, the homework didn't seem to be in a hurry, anyway, there were still two days, and it was not too late to write it tomorrow!
She opened the "World's No. 1 Meiji Detective Miss Glass Moss" detective book again, and then thought about the previous questions.
What the hell is going on in the weird scene?
What did the murderer take from the secret room?
She bit the pen and thought hard for a long time, the first question she couldn't explain, the second question......
She began to try to recall the scene in the "secret room" at that time, trying to find some clues.
The "secret room" was empty, and there was only the body of the victim inside, who had died a terrible death, covered in blood, kneeling inside, with most of the back of his neck cut off, and his head hanging down to his chest......
Wait, there seems to be a problem!
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong, the posture didn't look like it was thrown in casually, but it seemed like it was deliberately posed!
Why did the murderer do that when he knew that he had been discovered by passers-by and that the patrol might come to check at any time? If it's just hiding a corpse, shouldn't it be just thrown into it? Or kill the victim inside and just turn away?
Why did he waste that time when he was pressed for time, and what was the special meaning of that pose?
Kiyomi Ruri suddenly cheered up, feeling that she had finally found the most critical "puzzle" of the entire case, as long as she could solve this "puzzle", maybe she could find the real culprit.
So, what can that pose say?
Anyway, I think I've seen that posture somewhere......
She thought hard for a while, got up and rushed to her father's study and began to flip through it, and soon found a copy of "The Legend of the Samurai of the Western Kingdom", and began to turn the pages with a bang, but she didn't find the illustration in her impression, and immediately changed to another copy of "The Chronicle of the Mogami Family" and began to flip through again, but she still didn't find it.
She pondered for a long time, then jumped up and rushed back to her room, pulling through the bookshelves, digging out a large number of novels and comics, and muttering, "It's not this, it's not this ......"
When the room turned into a scene where twenty people had just had a fight, she finally found a light novel "Seventeen-Year-Old High School Samurai" and found the illustration she remembered.
Sure enough, the posture of the victim's body cannot be said to be the same, only exactly the same!
There has been a major breakthrough in the case, and her excited eyes are shining, but if she wants to continue reasoning, it is impossible to rely on imagination alone, she needs to investigate and inquire on the spot, and she needs to find information to support - the basis of reasoning and deduction is information collection, and there is no reasoning without enough accurate information.
Maybe tomorrow I should go around Tominaga's house and ask someone? But I'm not a police officer, so I don't have that qualification, so people may not cooperate......
Kiyomi Ruri hesitated for a moment, a little wanting to discuss it with Takeshi Nanahara, after all, he always seemed to have a good idea, maybe he could give good advice, and she also wanted to tell him about her big discovery, to see his shocked expression.
She turned to the astronomical telescope to look at Nanahara's house, only to find that the lights were out on the first floor, but there seemed to be some light on the second floor.
Alas, it's past nine o'clock, and it doesn't seem too appropriate to knock on the door now, so I can only wait for tomorrow.
But tomorrow doesn't matter, just get some sleep!
…………
The next day, Saturday, is still a "big weekend" once a month.
For four weeks a month, the university is said to have a full day off on Sundays, half a day off on three Saturdays, and a full day off on one Saturday, so that there is a weekend every month, which is convenient for college clubs to go out to participate in various events.
For example, the most famous IH competition in this university, the qualifiers are basically completed on this "Saturday and Sunday", and then the summer vacation in August is the main competition.
Kiyomi Ruri doesn't have to compete, her club hasn't seen yet, even if there is a shadow and there is no competition, usually she has to sleep until her mother threatens to beat her with a spatula, but today she got up early in the morning, staring at Nanahara's house, ready to rush over as soon as there is movement.
However, she waited for more than half an hour, and there was no reaction from the other side, and it seemed that Nanahara Takeshi was also planning to sleep lazily today.
Her patience was quickly exhausted, and she complained that he was a lazy person, but she was very eager to tell him about her "great discovery", and wanted him to take her to find out the truth, so after a little hesitation, she rushed downstairs into the kitchen, made two sandwiches and packed them into the food box, and rushed across the street with them, thinking that she was going to blow up the bunker.
Well, she didn't want to act too urgent, and was going to use breakfast as a reason to wake up Takeshi Nanahara.
She first rang the doorbell a few times at the gate of the courtyard, but there was no response, so she simply entered the courtyard and knocked on the door again, and after knocking like this for a while, there was still no response, and she couldn't help but be strange.
Could it be that kid is so diligent that he got up and went out for morning exercise before I got up?
Underestimate him!
She was hesitating whether to go back first, the door was opened, and Takeshi Nanahara was wearing cotton checkered pajamas, wearing a velvet ball nightcap, looking at her barefoot and with a black face, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you?" ”
Kiyomi Ruri didn't care about his bad attitude, raised the food box, and said with a sweet smile: "I made too much breakfast, thinking that you would live alone, so I will give you some." ”
Nanahara Takeshi stared at her for a moment, his expression softened slightly, but he opened the food box and glanced at it, sniffed it lightly, and his expression turned bad again, "Did you do this with your feet?" It's the first time I've seen such a miserable sandwich, and I don't eat it! ”
After saying that, he was about to close the door, and last night he lay in his special "bed" and read a book until three o'clock before going to sleep, and only then did he sleep for more than three hours, and he got up very angry and had a very violent temper.
What is made of feet?
Kiyomi Ruri was also angry, slammed the door, and said loudly: "I came to bring you breakfast because I was kind!" ”
Qiyuan Wu couldn't close the door, stared at her and asked word by word: "You haven't died of yesterday's incident?" ”
Kiyomi Ruri's spirits perked: "I have made a major discovery!" ”
"I don't want to know, I want to sleep!"
"What a really important discovery!" Kiyomi Ruri didn't care if he was happy to listen or not, and said quickly against the door, "Have you noticed that the posture of Tominaga-san's body is strange?" ”
"Are you trying to say that he wasn't just killed, but was misguided?" Nanahara Takeshi's attitude was still bad, "What's wrong with this?" This is what the police should care about, you are a high school student or focus on your studies, you want to solve the case and you can take the civil service exam in the future, instead of harassing an innocent student of the same grade who is not sleeping now! ”
Qing saw that the second half of Liuli's words didn't hear it in his ears at all, and he was stunned for a while and said, "You can see it?" ”
"It's so obvious, I'm not blind."
"You know the intermediary, I mean you know the real intercourse?"
Nanahara Takeshi looked at her speechlessly: "You smashed my door for ten minutes at seven o'clock in the morning, making my temples jump suddenly, just to discuss the fault with me?" ”
"I don't believe you know, you must be blind!" Kiyomi Ruri also checked the book for a long time last night to figure it out, and even she was misled by those messy TV dramas before, so I didn't believe that Nanahara Takeshi could see through it at a glance.
"Are you going to go home when I'm done?"
"You speak first!"
Nanahara Takeshi was very uncomfortable, and he really regretted moving to Hirarano a little, he really didn't expect that the living environment here would be so bad.
He said with a painful face: "To put it simply, the intercourse is to assist the laparotomy to commit suicide, and after the laparotomy cuts open his abdomen and proves that he is not a 'black belly', he quickly cuts off his cervical vertebrae, so that he will not be in the next great pain." ”
Kiyomi Ruri's eyes lit up and she opened her mouth to speak, and Nanahara Takeichi stretched out his hand to stop her words, "Shut up, I know what you're going to say!" What I just said is just the fault in the caesarean section, and there is another kind of sinner who is really 'black-bellied', and there is no need to prove it by caesarean section, it is just a forced memorial error of simple execution, and Yosuke Tominaga is like this.
The murderer cut off his cervical vertebrae but did not completely cut off his neck, so that his head was hung by muscles and lowered to his chest, this is the "posture of holding his head" after the mistake, plus he knelt on the ground, that is, the murderer is forcing him to express his intention of kneeling to apologize, which means that the murderer thinks he is extremely evil! ”
Many people have a misunderstanding that the memorial is to cut off the head, but in fact, the real mesock is only to cut off the cervical vertebrae at the beginning, so that the laparotomy presents a state of "holding the head" and no longer feels pain, which is not equivalent to beheading.
He also believes that the integrity of the corpse is closely related to the state of the soul after death, and also believes that "dead without a corpse" is an extremely severe punishment, and in the past, the disembowelment person usually chose his relatives and friends, so how could his relatives and friends bear to let his corpse be separated and become a headless ghost?
So, the real intercourse and the decapitation are two different things entirely.
Moreover, caesarean section is a kind of ritual, in which the caesarean section is to expose the blood and heart, show your pure soul (it is said that the soul is in the stomach in ancient times), to prove that you are not a "black-bellied" person, not insidious and cunning, and the "posture of holding the head" of cutting off the cervical vertebrae is "bowing your head and apologizing".
Before the Edo period, the wrong person needed a swordsman to be responsible, if he accidentally cut off the cervical vertebra with a knife, stuck the knife in it and made the disembowelee scream in pain, lose face, or use too much force to directly make people die without a corpse, unable to make people "decent and perfect apologies", then it is the turn of the eight achievements to disembowelment and apologize.
Of course, it is not completely nonsense to cut off the head directly in the TV series.
In the mid-to-late Edo period, after many years of peace, it was difficult to find a swordsman, so you simply beheaded yourself, and even developed a simplified procedure such as "fan cutting" - the disembowelment person used a fan to make a gesture on the belly, and then slashed the head in the back, cut off the skull and roll around, and died a happy death.
For example, Yukio Mishima, a famous writer and who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature many times, apologized for his crimes after the failure of the rebellion against the prime minister's official residence, but the first person who made the mistake failed to complete the mistake with several knives in a row, and cut him into a blood gourd, and replaced a person, and directly cut off his head.
It is speculated that Yukio Mishima should have wanted to complete the ancient method of caesarean section, and after his death, he tied his head with the strap of "Seven Lives to Serve the Country", sat on his knees and revealed his warm heart and pure soul, bowed his head and apologized, in order to show that although he made a big mistake, he was only dedicated to serving the country, and he was by no means selfish, and he didn't choose the right person, resulting in an unsightly scene.
Seeing that Nanahara Takeshi knew so clearly, Kiyomi Ruri was greatly disappointed, and muttered, "So you really know ......"
As herself, of course she knew about the so-called "samurai tradition" in the "disembowelment apology", but she never paid attention to the specific details, and thought that the mistake was to cut the head all over the ground, plus Yosuke Tominaga was not cut off at the time, so I didn't expect him to be "forced to apologize", or when he came back, he remembered an illustration he had read, and then turned the book to check the information to figure it out.
It's all to blame for the messy performance of the TV series, and no matter what era it is, the skull will be cut off as soon as the abdomen is cut off, which is simply a dead person!
Nanahara Takeshi didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, and began to close the door again, "Okay, I've answered everything you asked, you should go." ”
Kiyomi Ruri came back to her senses, slammed the door again, and said hurriedly: "But we now know that the murderer is not simply seeking money, but has a deep grudge against Tominaga-san, which is a very important direction of investigation, and we can't ignore it." ”
"You're ready to call the police."
"What if the police can't solve the case?" Compared to the police, Kiyomi Ruri is now a little more confident in Nanahara Takeshi.
"Then you complain about them and call them a rice bucket group that only receives a salary."
Nanahara Takeshi closed the door with all his might, and finally succeeded, let out a long sigh of relief, and turned around to go back to his special bed to sleep, but before he took two steps, the door behind him began to "knock" again.
He stopped his steps, stood in a daze for a moment, only to feel that his temples were beating more happily, his head was like a large balloon being forcibly inflated, which could burst at any time, sighed deeply, turned around and opened the door again, and asked helplessly: "What do you want?" ”
Kiyomi Ruri said stubbornly: "Maybe I'm doing a lot of things, but you have something I don't have...... No, you and I are both talented, and if we go there, we will definitely find something that the police can't find, so that maybe the truth will be revealed, so that an innocent person will not die unjustly - now someone is dead, an innocent person is dead, this is not a small matter, if you have the ability, you must do something! ”
As she spoke, her eyes turned a little red inexplicably, she sniffed and said, "My mother said that you must do the right thing to be a man, yesterday you asked me to be an assistant, the agreement is not over, and now I want to fulfill the supervision obligation of the assistant and let you do the right thing, you have received my money, you must fulfill the agreement!"
You have to go today, or you won't want to sleep today as long as I'm here! ”
