Nanahara Takeshi copied his hands, looked east and west on the first floor of Matsuuchi's house, and even went in the kitchen to shake it. Kiyomi Ruri couldn't sit still, so he peeked at Eri Nakano, who was sitting still, carefully got up and followed behind Nanahara Takeshi's buttocks, followed him to look around, and used the skill he got before-the hot reading technique, trying to analyze something from the aspect of living environment.

Of course, after the first floor was turned, she didn't analyze anything, she only felt that Matsuuchi's house was more beautiful than hers, Matsuuchi Xue was worthy of being from a big family, and her aesthetic taste was at least two streets stronger than her mother's wild man who ran out of Xiongshou Mountain.

She followed Nanahara Takeshi up to the second floor again, and found that there were two beds in the bedroom of the Matsunai couple, which was very similar to her home, and her parents also slept in separate beds, but this could not be used as evidence of discord between the husband and wife, which was very common in Yumoto, and it was said that this was conducive to adequate rest.

Of course, this also requires the room to be big enough, and the poor ghost couple can honestly squeeze together, and they can't share the bed.

Nanahara Takeshi circled around the bed for half a circle, opened the door of the changing room with great interest and looked at it for a while, took off a men's suit and compared it to himself, put it aside, and reached out to twist the fabric of a women's pajamas, looked left and right, then turned around and went to the dresser to take a closer look, and picked up a bottle of perfume and sprayed it in the air, sniffing the smell.

"You be honest, just watch, don't make a mess, no politeness at all." Kiyomi Ruri muttered, followed behind his ass to clean up, and now reached for the perfume bottle again, forgetting the "surface assistant plan" for a while, and was very unhappy in his heart - his behavior was seriously inconsistent with the education she had received since childhood, and she couldn't bear it.

Nanahara shrugged her shoulders and touched her chin to leave, and she packed up her mess and hurried to follow.

Next to the bedroom is the study, with large windows and plenty of light, shiny wooden floors, a large mahogany desk, and a large bookshelf crammed with books.

Nanahara Takeshi's eyes lit up when he entered the door, and he walked quickly to the bookshelf to browse the spine, stretched out his hand and pulled out a copy, and stood there to open it and take a closer look. Kiyomi Ruri's heart tightened, and he immediately leaned over, stood on tiptoe and read with him, but as soon as he read a line of words, he turned the page, and as soon as he read a line of words, he turned the page, and he couldn't understand it at all, and bent down to look at the title of the book, and found that the book was called "Miscellaneous Notes on the Goods of the Mountain".

What the hell is the goods of the mountains?

She tiptoed to read the content again, muttering half of the sentence she saw at a glance, "There are mountains and gray dances in the wilderness of Aomori, clusters of chestnuts, gray and yellow, edible, delicious, and common people......"

She didn't understand it, and couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?" ”

"It's a mushroom called Ashwagei, which is supposed to be the same species as modern maitake and ashwaganda, and is grown in the mountains on the border between Aomori and Akita prefectures, hmm...... I think it refers to Mt. Shirakami, and you can find it by finding a chestnut tree on Mt. Shirakami, and it tastes pretty good, but I haven't tasted it yet. Nanahara Takeshi looked intently and smacked his mouth as he spoke.

Kiyomi Ruri was even more strange, and said in confusion: "What does this have to do with the case?" Aren't we looking into the case, what do you care about mushrooms? ”

Qiyuan Wu turned a deaf ear and said casually: "You don't understand." ”

Kiyomi Ruri endured it, after all, the "Surface Assistant Plan" needed to be well-behaved, but she couldn't help it, and said unhappily: "I don't understand anything, it's obvious that you are very weird." ”

Qiyuan Wu was still flipping through the book quickly, and said lightly: "Then what do you say people live for?" ”

"People live for ......" Kiyomi Ruri was stunned, she had never thought about this question, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "Is it to be a person who helps others?" ”

"Wrong, people live to not miss out, to keep experiencing and experiencing." Nanahara Takeshi casually said nonsense, "For example, the moonlight is beautiful, but we have never looked at it carefully, and we haven't appreciated it seriously, so we have a little regret in life." Another example is a food that looks delicious, but we don't taste it, and if we remember it when we die, our lives will not be fulfilled.

Our life is very short, so we should cherish it extraordinarily, so we should leave as little regrets as possible, do not miss any wonderful moments, and learn to enjoy life. It's like this gray dancing mushroom, if I wasn't reading this book now, how would I know that there is such a wonderful thing in this world, I can't get it to taste it, I just miss it, and I have regrets in my life......"

Kiyomi Ruri was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't know where he was for a while, and he felt that what Nanahara Takeshi said seemed to be a little reasonable, and it seemed to be very unreasonable, and it was right to cherish life, but people live in the world just to eat some mushrooms and see the moon?

She hesitated and asked, "What about the case?" Also, why do we discuss life philosophies? ”

"The case?" Nanahara Takeshi's expression was straight, after all, he couldn't experience anything without money, so he immediately closed the book and handed it to her, and said seriously, "This book has a lot to do with the case, and it is very suspicious, so I will take it back and torture it carefully." ”

He took one and didn't stop, and then reached out and pulled out the "Fresh River" and "Taste of the Sea" on the bookshelf and stuffed it to her together, "These two books are also very suspicious, and it is very likely that they are complicit, take them together!" ”

Kiyomi Ruri held the book, looked at him in disbelief, his little heart was so angry that he hurt, he didn't expect him to be able to refresh the lower limit, and he had to use his power for personal gain to investigate a case, and wanted to prostitute the victim's book for nothing.

Her nose snorted uncontrollably with a burning breath, and she said angrily: "We are here to investigate the case, you can't do this, it's not right!" ”

Nanahara Takeshi was still looking for books he hadn't read, and stuffed them into her arms one by one, and said indifferently: "This is investigating the case." ”

"Not at all, you can't just take other people's things." Kiyomi Ruri has her own insistence, and she can't watch him run wildly on the road of crime if she wants to go down, and she stuffed the book on the shelf, and said without fear, "I'm not afraid if you turn around and toss me, since I am your assistant, I have the obligation to correct your mistakes, now you go and investigate the case immediately, otherwise I will go and tell Miss Nakano and let her clean you up!" ”

"It's really a case."

"What does this have to do with the case?"

Nanahara Takeshi's expression became serious, and he said softly: "Knowing Matsushita Yuto from the side, his hobby is probably reading, and the books he reads are very miscellaneous, from celebrity anecdotes in the Momoyama era to the biographies of astronomer Kepler, from the travel miscellaneous notes that can be seen at hand to the prohibited private prints from second-hand stalls, from Renaissance oil albums to painting illustrations of the islanders' aborigines, there are all kinds of types, so I want to see the books I haven't read, learn more about him, and maybe find relevant clues." ”

You don't have to quibble, you just want to prostitute other people's books for nothing!

Nanahara Takeshi said a lot, and his tone was very sincere, it was enough to send him to the men's public relations club as a little white face, but Kiyomi Ruri now knows his personality well, and she can't believe a single punctuation mark, but she doesn't want to quarrel with him loudly, after all, it's in someone's house, it's not good.

She hesitated for a moment and gave in, thinking that if he could find the murderer of Yuto Matsuuchi, Yuto Matsuuchi would not mind lending him the book for a few days, and said depressedly: "Then it's okay to take a look, but you can't leave the book, you have to return it to someone after reading it." ”

"When did I say I wouldn't pay it back, I'm not a thief, how could I take someone else's things for nothing. Besides, what is the use of me asking for it after reading the book, and you will remember to send it back to Mrs. Matsunai then. Nanahara Takeshi took out the book again, stuffed it into her arms, and said with a smile, "Remember, it's your responsibility to forget, count it as you stole it!" ”

This nasty thing!

Kiyomi Ruri was so angry that he wanted to throw the book on his head, but he didn't dare, after all, he was just the assistant on the surface, and he wanted to focus on the overall situation, so he could only let him stuff it into his arms with a black face, and finally held more than ten books and followed him to the desk with a pout.

Nanahara sat down behind his desk, plucked a bronze globe ornament, and then began to inspect the desk and flip through the manuscripts of Yuto Matsuuchi, but Yuto Matsuuchi mainly wrote in magazines, and there were not many left at home.

Nanahara Takeshi glanced at ten lines, sat at the table and fell into contemplation after flipping through it, his fingers knocked on the table rhythmically, Kiyomi Ruri waited for a moment while holding the book, his anger disappeared, and he asked curiously, "Did you find anything?" ”

Nanahara Takeshi came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, the person was not killed by Matsuuchi Xue." ”

Kiyomi Ruri was taken aback: "This is decided?" ”

Nanahara Wu glanced at her and said directly: "Let a psychic medium of my level walk around the house at will, I can't see how the relationship between this couple is, then I can directly change careers." There are some minor problems in the relationship between the couple, and the possibility of divorce in the future cannot be ruled out, but until the incident, Matsuuchi Xue still has a lot of feelings for her husband, and it is impossible to deliberately kill him. ”

Kiyomi Ruri was stunned for a moment, and now she trusted Nanahara Takeshi's judgment very much, even if his character was very flawed, she didn't question anything, just muttered: "Who will that prisoner be?" The police have ruled out all the other suspects......"

"Keep looking, there must be negligence in the work of the police, and it is useless for them to rule it out." Nanahara Takeshi was also a little disappointed, if Matsuuchi Xue was the murderer, the money would be very easy to earn this time, but unfortunately she wasn't, so there was no good way, so she could only continue to spend time, but it was okay, at least she didn't run in vain, and she got a few good books.

He got up and shook his head, "Let's go, let's go down, let's talk to Lady Matsunai." ”

…………

Nanahara Takeshi took Kiyomi Ruri downstairs, Matsushita Yuki and Nakano Eri were quietly drinking tea, and seeing that they were finally willing to come down, they immediately focused their eyes on it, and they all noticed Kiyomi Ruri holding a large stack of books, and they looked puzzled together.

Nanahara Takeshi smiled at Matsuuchi and said, "I'm sorry, I want to check these books in detail, please don't mind." ”

Qing saw that Ruri was not as thick-skinned as him, and his face turned red when he was seen, and he whispered: "Don't worry, I'll send it back for him as soon as I finish the inspection, it won't be too long, he reads quickly." ”

"It's okay, if it's too much trouble, you can stay." Matsuuchi Xue didn't care about a dozen old books at all, if she could find her husband's murderer and burn all the books on that shelf, she wouldn't care.

She looked at Nanahara Takeshi and asked politely, "Nanahara-san, what do you want to talk about this time?" The police have looked for me many times, and the police I know know about it. ”

Nanahara Takeshi sat down on the sofa opposite her, poured himself a cup of tea, first glanced at the delicate texture of the Saba Mi Burning Powder Teacup, sniffed the tea lightly, tasted it again, and exclaimed: "Tea is the taste of tea soup, flowers are the soul of tea soup, your taste is very good, madam." ”

Matsuuchi Xue looked at the teapot and hesitated: "You have won the prize, this ...... It's just a regular flower tea bought from the supermarket. ”

"But the quality is still very good, and you are very good at picking tea." Nanahara Takeshi put down the teacup with a smile, and got down to business, "You and Matsuuchi-san have been arguing a lot lately, right?" Before Matsunachi-san was killed, you just had a fight? ”

As soon as he said this, Kiyomi Ruri was immediately taken aback, and Eri Nakano held up her glasses, the lenses flashed white, and her eyes became sharp, staring at Matsuuchi Xue firmly - in the previous testimony submitted by Matsuuchi Xue to the police, it was not mentioned that the husband and wife had just quarreled.

Matsuuchi's face instantly turned a little paler, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

She really didn't tell the police that she had a cold war with her husband, because it was unnecessary, and it had nothing to do with her husband's murder, but now that it is inexplicably known, it is estimated that the suspicion is even greater......

She took a deep breath and said very seriously: "In the past year, there have indeed been some problems between me and Matsuuchi-kun, but please believe me, I will definitely not hurt him." ”

Nanahara Takeshi nodded lightly and said, "I believe you, I just asked to confirm that you really won't hurt him, and now I can really confirm it completely." ”

Matsuuchi Xue was about to explain why she didn't mention the cold war with her husband before, it was completely a private matter between husband and wife, and no third person knew about it, Leng Buding heard Nanahara Takeshi say this, and the words were held back, and he hesitated: "You believe me?" ”

Nanahara Wu smiled: "Yes, quarrels between husband and wife are inevitable, no couple dares to say that they have never quarreled, but you love him, I believe you will not hurt him, at least you will not deliberately murder him." Besides, you have always wanted to try to be a good and understanding wife, and when you quarrel with Matsunachi-san, he is almost always sulking inexplicably, and you just want to explain him, so there will be some small contradictions, and you can't blame you at all. ”

Matsuuchi Xue looked at Nanahara Takeshi for a long time and asked, "...... you How do you know? She couldn't figure out why Nanahara Takeshi had walked around her house, and even knew the absolute privacy between their husband and wife, there shouldn't be a third person in this world who knew all this.

"For professional reasons, I work part-time as a psychic medium, and you can come to me anytime you need in the future." Nanahara Takeshi smiled, didn't explain much, now is not the time, and instead said, "Mrs. Matsunai, your suspicion has been ruled out, the police will not come to harass you again, please rest in peace and sleep well, otherwise your body will collapse, but now please work hard for you a little more and repeat the scene on the day of the crime." ”

"A repeat?"

"Yes, what you did then, do it again now."

Matsuuchi Xue now has some confidence in the high school student Nanahara Takeshi, and after a slight hesitation, he changed his position and said: "At that time, I was sitting here watching TV and waiting for Matsuuchi-kun to get off work, and he had a page meeting that night, and he usually came back around ten o'clock......"

"Wait a minute! The page will ......" Kiyomi Ruri flipped through the small notebook, she remembered seeing the word in the case briefing before, but she couldn't remember what it meant for a while.

Matsuuchi glanced at her and explained softly: "It's the layout division meeting before the launch of the magazine, and although Matsuuchi-kun is a reporter, he is in charge of the art column alone, and he needs to work with the editors to determine the amount of content in the current issue. ”

"Ah, yes, please continue." Kiyomi Ruri found an excerpt from last night.,The layout will be held regularly every month.,The police judged that the murderer had known about it for a long time.,Suspected the editors, reporters and employees of the magazine.,Unfortunately, after checking around.,None of them have a motive for the crime.。

"It was not long after the evening theater opened, and I heard movement in the courtyard." Matsuuchi got up and walked to the entrance to open the door, very close, only a few steps, and continued as she walked, "But at that time, the TV was a little loud, and I heard it like Matsuuchi-kun's voice, and I wasn't sure, so I went to the door to take a look." ”

Speaking of this, her face completely lost her blood, it is estimated that the impact of that scene is very strong, and she has a psychological shadow, "As soon as I opened the door, I saw Matsuuchi-kun lying not far in front of the door, covered in blood. ”

"And then?" Takeshi Nanahara asked.

"At that time...... At that time, I was frightened, panicked, didn't know what to do, called for help, and then I walked here, knelt down and tried to help Matsuuchi-kun plug the wound, but he had too many wounds, and there was bleeding everywhere on his body and neck, and I didn't know where to hold it, and finally covered the wound on his neck. Matsuuchi tried to keep her composure, slowly recounting the scene of that night, which was basically the same as the testimony she had submitted before, except for a slight difference in the wording.

Finally, she knelt on the ground, pointed diagonally over the basin river, and said blankly: "Matsunachi-kun was ...... It's not good anymore, I can't speak, I keep looking at me, I tried to raise my hand, and pointed there, but there was nothing, I didn't see anything in the dark, I couldn't think of what he wanted to say, and then Officer Xiangya kindly told me that when he said Matsuuchi-kun, he probably meant that the murderer jumped into the river and escaped, so I don't have to think about it anymore, the police have given up this clue, but I think ...... I don't know, I don't think it should be, but it's just a feeling, and I don't know if it's right. ”

Nanahara Takeshi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that the sky was blue, and clouds like cotton candy were drifting by, quiet and peaceful.

Other than that, nothing.
