Chapter 45: The Muse Meets the Classmates

It may be the first country in the history of the world to implement a civilian gun ban in the form of buyback, and the strict management of guns can be ranked second in modern countries - the neighbor next to it ranks first, and this neighbor is stricter, and some toy guns are also banned, which has basically reached the limit of human beings.

Of course, the ban on guns here does not mean that no one can have a gun, but that "illegal possession of guns is strictly prohibited".

According to the "Knife Control Law", if you want to own a long-barreled shotgun, you must first get a letter of recommendation from an organization such as a shooting club or hunting team, and find a guarantor;

secondly, participate in full-time full-time study, pass a rigorous written test, live ammunition shooting and gun maintenance assessment, and submit a mental health certificate to prove that you have no violent tendencies, antisocial tendencies or are preparing to commit suicide;

Thirdly, they must pass strict background checks, must not have a criminal record, must not be related to extremist groups, and preferably do not even have neighborhood disputes or economic disputes;

Finally, it is also necessary to purchase firearms and ammunition at designated locations, and submit all personal information to the relevant police departments, as well as provide the location of firearms and ammunition storage at all times.

At this point, it is legal for ordinary people to have a long-barreled shotgun, but this is only the beginning of the trouble, the police will require the shotgun to be sent for inspection once a year, and from time to time will send people to conduct random inspections, hold a gun license for two to three years, and pay a fee for the test, even if it is placed in a place like Hirano, where the pastures are everywhere and the demand for hunting rifles is high in daily work, it is not much relaxed - the police are very worried that someone will change the gun privately, even sawing the butt short is considered a crime, and I want to take a look at it twice if I have nothing to do.

Gun inspection is more troublesome than the annual inspection of the vehicle, there is no way to let people do it for you, it takes both time and money, so it is not a job need or a real hunting enthusiast, and ordinary people really don't find that trouble to spend that money, and there are not many people with hunting rifles in their names.

Yuto Matsuuchi is also an art columnist for the magazine, and among the people he has recently come into contact with, there are no such people as ranchers, forest rangers, or professional hunters, and in cross-comparison, there are only hunting enthusiasts left, and only two of the more than 70 people in the list have shotguns under their names.

A 37-year-old painter named Kenji Tokuyoshi, who was a sociable and barely a celebrity, often pointed out in the newspapers, and once slandered and abused him in a small circle because he was dissatisfied with the deceased's report on his new work.

The other is Tatsuo Uchii, a 40-year-old art dealer who runs a large gallery, and the deceased had interviewed him two days before he was killed, but according to the police investigation, it was a normal interview and nothing went wrong.

Both of these people are suspicious, so they are on the police investigation list, but they also provide sufficient alibi, Tokuchi Kenji testified by his students, and has been painting in the studio that night, while Uchii Tatsuo is a subordinate work card, after work, the two went to the izakaya to drink and chat about work, and then went to take a bath and pressed the motor, and finally did not have fun, and went to Uchii Tatsuo's house to continue drinking, and the employee stayed at Uchii's house that night.

The search headquarters also investigated these two alibi certificates, questioned the relevant personnel, and found a series of supporting evidence, confirming that they were not lying, and the motives of these two people were not sufficient, and it was very common for the painter to slander and abuse reporters and critics behind his back, and the person who wanted the dead to die early in the place was not waiting for today, Tatsuo Uchii had a general friendship with the deceased, and he only knew him about his work, and the deceased took the initiative to run there.

Therefore, these two people were immediately cleared out of suspicion by the search headquarters, and they did not continue to waste police resources on them.

Kiyomi Ruri is very excited about this, and feels that the case is finally on the right track, and begins to move closer to the field of mystery novels that she is familiar with - choose one of the two classics, no problem, put it in the mystery novels are all opening small cases, which are suitable for novices.

And she now believes in the "hunter theory" proposed by Nanahara Takeshi, one of the two suspects' alibi must be forged, and the detective's breaking of the alibi is also a classic bridge in mystery novels, she is looking forward to it, and has begun to wonder what kind of trick it is.

Nanahara Takenori probably looked at the information of the two people and the previous interrogation records, and then glanced at the watch, decided to work overtime today, turned his head and smiled at Eri Nakano: "Miss Nakano, while it's still dark, let's go meet these two 'former suspects' now, I want to talk to them." ”

This is the way it should be, Eri Nakano has no opinion, and ordered Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji to continue to complete the handover, sort out a large amount of information from the search headquarters, clean up the sanitation by the way, keep the phone and listen to orders, and call them if they really find that they need to be arrested, and then set off with two high school students.

Along the way, she watched coldly, and found that the relationship between this high school couple is indeed a bit enviable, and the relationship is excellent, Nanahara Takeshi has been worried about his girlfriend's safety, reminding her that the murderer's force value may be a bit high this time, let her not run around, just stay by his side, even if he goes to the bathroom, he has to wait at the door, and Kiyomi Ruri is a little shy, it seems that her heart is very warm, and she has been nodding obediently, which is a little cute.

Sure enough, college contacts are pure enough, and it is difficult to see this scene in society, so she had to sigh and hold her glasses several times.

…………

Eri Nakano drove and sighed, fast and steady along the way, and the three of them quickly arrived at the residence of the first suspect, Kenji Tokuyoshi.

Well, Kenji Tokuji is a professional painter who works from home, and his studio and studio are on the first floor of his house.

It was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and Tokuyoshi Kenji was not busy, so he received them immediately, but he was not very enthusiastic, especially when he heard that he was here again for the murder of Matsuuchi Yuoto, and he was even more faintly unhappy, so he almost said the sentence "You rice buckets are wasting my time again".

Of course, he did not refuse to cooperate with the police questioning, and after greeting him for a while, he quickly called one of his students, pointed at him and said, "Ichiya Yujun can testify for me, I have been at home that night, and I have been working in the studio." ”

Ichiya Ukun, whose full name is Ichiya Uno, is twenty-five or sixteen years old, wears black-rimmed glasses, is polite, and he is the kind of student who lives in a teacher's house, works as an assistant when he works, and works as a nanny when he doesn't work, but he is a natural alibi witness in a homicide case.

Kiyomi Ruri, under the signal of Takeshi Nanahara, began to ask questions about Ichiya Uno excitedly, secretly comparing it with the previous police records to see if there was anything suspicious, but that night Tokuchi Kenji was painting in his exclusive small studio, and he didn't rest until more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and around nine o'clock, Ichiya Uno also went to deliver a refreshment, and I saw him with my own eyes, and even at that time, Tokuchi Kenji was not working well, and his temper was not good, and he scolded him for two things.

Overall, Kenji Tokugi's alibi was not perfect, after all, no one accompanied him the whole time, but it is difficult to question it.

Kiyomi Ruri thought about it, and began to interrogate Ichiya Uno's trajectory that night, trying to find out if there was any contradiction, but Ichiya Uno didn't stumble at all, he was doing tidying up in the big studio that night, and another classmate was also there, who could help him prove it.

Okay, this alibi is even more impeccable, Kiyomi Ruri can't find anything wrong, but Tokuyoshi Kenji looked at her and seemed to be a little interested, and interjected: "This ...... Kiyomi-san, right? Is Kiyomi-san interested in being a model? Your skin is very good, your facial features are also very deep, and the light and shadow on your face are very spiritual, and I suddenly have a lot of inspiration when I see you......"

Kiyomi Ruri glanced at him in surprise, and found that this guy deserved to be a famous painter, but he had a very good eye, and at first glance he could see that she was as cute and beautiful as a Tibetan fox, and she was full of aura all over her body, a little remarkable, no wonder she looked very elegant and easy-going, but she was not interested in being a model, her ideal was to become a detective and a detective, and immediately refused reservedly, and said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, but it still can't, I have something I like more to do." ”

Well, if you insist on going down for a hundred years, you must be Miss Liuli Morse or Liuli Police.

"That's a shame." Tokuji Kenji didn't force it, but looked at Kiyomi Ruri's delicate little face, felt the unique youthful aura of the girl and felt a little regretful, took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to her, and smiled very gently, "This is my business card, if you change your mind one day, or if you have an interest in art, you can contact me at any time." ”

Kiyomi Ruri didn't want to take it, and it was useless to take it, but people didn't have malicious intentions, it seemed a little rude not to accept the business card, and was about to take it politely, Nanahara Takeshi had already reached out and took the business card into his hand, and looked at it casually and smiled: "It's really not necessary, Dejisan, you don't have to fight her idea, it's not necessary, it's going to die." ”

He was really surprised, he didn't expect that there would be someone who could take a fancy to the stupid hidden fox of Kiyomi Ruri, but no one in this world can touch his housework robot, air freshener and stab-proof suit, which he spent a lot of effort to get, and it will take a long time, how can he be indifferent, especially when he is sitting on the side, this is too much to look at him, he can't bear it, he can't answer the phone.

He was suspected of accusing Tokugi Kenji of bad intentions, and Tokuji Kenji also had two parts of the city, so he didn't get angry directly, but just squinted at him with disdain, leaned back on the sofa and said, "What do you mean by this classmate's words?" It's normal for every artist to look for their own muse, don't think too much and don't be too rude when you speak. In other words, didn't your parents teach you how to talk to adults? ”

Qiyuan Wuguaner smiled: "I have taught, I don't have to worry about this aspect." In fact, if you really just admire her, I don't mind sending her out to work, and modeling is also a serious job, but the problem is that you are not, you will not let a guy who has a long-term lover close to your female friend, right? ”

The more he spoke, the more unkind he became, and everyone in the visitor room looked at him and Tokuyoshi in surprise.

Ichiya Uno, who was called to testify, was surprised at first, and was about to reprimand angrily when he got up, but halfway through getting up, he seemed to remember something, and the expression on his face became thoughtful again, and he bent down and was stunned for a while, and Kiyomi Ruri subconsciously clenched his small fists, and glared angrily at Tokuji Kenji, I didn't expect this guy to dare to have bad intentions towards her, no wonder his face was ugly and hideous, and before he was about to change, she knocked out his three teeth with one punch.

Kenji Tokichi's face was completely dark, he didn't expect Takeshi Nanahara to speak so unscrupulously and completely recklessly, but he didn't shout and scold Takeshi Nanahara, stared at him for a moment, and said directly to Eri Nakano: "I cooperated with the police investigation, and that's how the police treat the people?" I'll call Inspector Wood, and now you can leave. ”

Nanahara Takeshi got up and smiled: "It's up to you to complain, but before you go, just in case, can you let me visit the studio?" ”

Tokuji Kenji was already very bored, waved his hand indiscriminately, and said impatiently: "It's inconvenient, you can go, I really want to see the next time I bring a search warrant, if you can apply for it." ”

"Well, I guess it's not easy to apply." Nanahara Takeshi didn't care, "Then I'll go back and talk to Mrs. Zun, it should be easy to call." ”

Tokuji Kenji sat there unmoved, didn't even want to send it, and said with a smile: "You are really naΓ―ve, I have hired many models, all ages, you think you can ruin our relationship as husband and wife by talking casually?" Forget it, for the sake of your young face, I won't sue you for slander, leave now quickly, and don't waste my time in the future. ”

It's really unlucky, how did you meet such a sensitive neurotic, how did you protect yourself so much, that girl is a pity.

Qiyuan Wu didn't leave, tilted his head and looked at him twice, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm polite enough to you, and I don't want to meddle with your affairs, you have nothing else to do but cooperate well, but you still dare to scold me in your heart......"

At this, he bent down and whispered a few times in his ear, straightened up and smiled, "Now you can reorganize the language, I want to see the studio." ”
