Chapter Forty-Six: The Murderer Is Upon Us
Tokuji Kenji has two studios, the larger ones for the students and the smaller ones for his own use, which store his paintings for sale.
As soon as Kiyomi Ruri entered the door, he looked left and right with the sharp eyes of the search dog, and a huge landscape oil painting was hung on the wall on one side of the studio, with bright and bold colors, and he tried his best to pursue the change of light and shadow, depicting a peculiar pastoral scenery, which was very visually impactful.
But that's not the point, she doesn't understand oil painting, and she can't appreciate it, the important thing is that there is a large blue sky in this landscape oil painting, combined with the puzzle of "pointing to the sky" before Matsuuchi Yuto died, and in an instant, the suspicion of Tokuchi Kenji, a despicable pervert, skyrocketed.
But before she could remind Nanahara Takeshi to pay attention, she held her breath, and when she turned her head, she found that there were skies on several paintings in the studio, and it was inevitable that the sky would appear on the background of the landscape oil painting, more or less.
Bai was excited, it seemed that the puzzle had nothing to do with painting, but he was too sensitive.
She felt that she was too composed, and she was almost embarrassed, so she came down honestly and followed Nanahara Takeshi as a companion dog, waiting to see what he discovered.
At this time, Tokuyoshi Kenji and the student Ichitani Uno finished chatting quietly at the door, and chased to Nanahara Takeshi's side, seeing that he was admiring a painting of a girl character Xiao Xiang, which was his proud work, and immediately smiled warmly: "Nanahara-san, what do you think of this painting?" ”
If Nanahara Takeshi likes it, as long as he casually praises a few words, he is ready to bite his back molars and recognize this "hard-to-find bosom friend in the world", and give him this painting, which can be regarded as a ruin and disaster, even if he can't figure out how Nanahara Takeshi inexplicably found out that he has a lover outside.
But Nanahara Takeshi didn't even tease him, and said lightly: "It doesn't look good, imitating Miller's painting style, a soulless third-rate work, it's not stylish to hang in the house, it's not worth a few dollars, but it's ...... Considering the preference of the insurance company's gang of unjust bosses, if the painter were to die, he might be able to sell it for some money. ”
Then he turned to look at Kenji Tokuyoshi, looked him up and down a few times, and asked with concern, "How healthy is your heart?" Is your blood pressure high? Have you been depressed lately, do you feel that the world is not worth it? ”
"Ha ......"
Kiyomi Ruri covered his mouth after laughing for a while, shaking his head and tail happily, his eyes were crooked, and his long eyelashes trembled and trembled, and for the first time he felt that his cheap mouth was a merit, which was very commendable, and Tokuji Kenji's face was completely black, and his hand couldn't help but clench his fist repeatedly, but after all, he didn't dare to punch him in the face.
Nanahara Takeshi doesn't care if he's angry or not, he doesn't have this kind of person in his eyes, he has never been the only one who takes advantage of others, and no one wants to take advantage of him. He walked around the house again, and when he turned around, he asked Tokuchi Kenji, "Tokuji-san, what kind of animal does Matsunai-san look like in your opinion?" ”
Tokuji Kenji was stunned, and said with uncertainty: "A donkey? Uh, no, it's actually a little bit more like an old scalper, and that guy heard that he still works hard. ”
He didn't understand the meaning of Nanahara Takeshi's question, and he didn't care, so he got closer as he spoke, and said in a low voice: "Nanahara-san, you can not believe it, but I can swear to God, I have nothing to do with Matsunachi-san's death, I have accused him several times behind my back, but since I have been in the industry, there must have been more than ten or twenty reporters and commentators who have been accused, if it weren't for his sudden death, I wouldn't have been too impressed by him as a person, and I wouldn't have killed him, so what happened just now ......"
Nanahara Takeshi stared at him for a moment, nodded with a smile, and greeted Eri Nakano, "Miss Nakano, we can go." ”
"Wait, what just happened...... I apologize, and I apologize to Kiyomi-san, I'm sorry, I don't know ......" Kenji Tokuyoshi grabbed Takeshi Nanahara with an anxious look in his eyes.
Nanahara Takeshi smiled back: "Uh, I didn't understand what you were talking about. ”
Kenji Tokuyoshi was relieved for the time being, and he breathed a big sigh of relief, and Eri Nakano glanced at him, helped his glasses, and the white light of contempt on the lenses flashed, and he left with Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi without being polite to him, but when he got out of the courtyard gate of Tokuyoshi's house, she went to start the car parked on the side of the street, but Takeshi Nanahara didn't follow into the car, so he stood in front of Tokuji's house and took out a pen and paper to write a letter.
Kiyomi Ruri forgot to ask for a moment and let go of that disgusting bastard so easily, and said curiously, "What are you going to write?" ”
Nanahara Takeshi wrote a few words, turned his head and put the tip of the pen to her mouth, and ordered, "Lick it." ”
Kiyomi Ruri looked at the tip of the pen in confusion and said strangely, "Why should I lick it?" ”
"The pen is blocked again." Nanahara Takeshi sighed, "If it wasn't for the blocking of the pen and the intermittent writing in the last exam, I wouldn't have been so casual in my grades." ”
Kiyomi Ruri was even more difficult to accept, and said angrily: "Then you can change the pen, or lick it yourself, why do you want to toss me?" ”
"There's a lot of nonsense, this is an antique fountain pen, it has a history of forty-six years, it is super commemorative, super valuable, only this pen can match my style, how can I replace it?" Nanahara Takeshi directly stuffed the pen into her mouth, "Hurry up and lick it, this old-fashioned fountain pen water has a strange smell, I can't stand it, you are my assistant, you have to do all the things I don't want to do, and now I'm not happy!" ”
You slut, you obviously look like a person, you can do nothing at all day long, and you don't do anything at all......
You wait for me, sooner or later, I will get you!
Kiyomi Ruri couldn't do anything with him, stared at him for a while, stretched out his little tongue and moistened the pen, watched him continue to write hard, and asked with a Tibetan fox face: "So, what are you doing?" ”
Nanahara Takeshi said lightly: "Give Deji that old boy a lesson." ”
Kiyomi Ruri was stunned, and her heart was warm again, but she didn't expect Qiyuan Wu to be willing to take the initiative to stand up for her without asking for anything, she couldn't put on a hidden fox face, hesitated for a moment, and hummed in a low voice: "Thank you, thank you for being willing to be angry for me......"
This guy is sometimes very annoying, sometimes very warm-hearted, and people don't know whether to beat him or praise him, maybe it is better to spare him a dog's life, don't fall on him.
She was feeling warm in her heart, only to hear Nanahara Wu say lightly: "Don't be sentimental, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Cut, you're pretty arrogant......
Kiyomi Ruri snorted, and didn't expose him, but just whispered: "Even for the sake of those deceived girls and Mrs. Deji, it's okay, I'm very happy that you have such a sense of justice." ”
"It has nothing to do with the sense of justice, that guy doesn't have the guts to engage in coercion, at most it's to seduce, make a deal that you like me, and if the temptation fails, you will give up, but Mrs. Deji does deserve sympathy, but that's a family matter, and it has nothing to do with me." Nanahara Takeshi's tone became strange, and he tilted his head and glanced at her as he wrote, "What kind of mess are you thinking, why are you talking so strangely?" ”
Kiyomi Ruri was stunned, and asked hesitantly, "Why is that?" I thought you were going to let him go. ”
"Because I don't like to lose." Nanahara Takeshi has been writing, it seems to be a long letter, it is very likely to be adding oil and vinegar to the ginseng rooster, or coming up with a bad idea that can make Tokuji Kenji unlucky, and said, "Dare to beat your idea in front of me, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, he is completely taking me as a bad person, and letting him go, doesn't it make me weak and bullied?" I'm telling you, you can't make that impression on others, so he must be taught a lesson. ”
A slut is really a slut, and he can't say anything at all, Kiyomi Ruri found that he had overestimated the discipline of Takeshi Nanahara again, put on a Tibetan fox face again, and asked unhappily: "So, he is not suspicious, is he not the murderer of Yuto Matsuuchi?" ”
"Yes, he doesn't have that kind of guts, he doesn't have that kind of courage, and he doesn't have the physical strength to go deep into the mountains and forests to deal with large animals, just an old pervert with insufficient self-control, at most he is shameless and very good at camping, and he can't be called a senior hunting enthusiast at all, let alone a hunter. The shotgun under his name was prepared to curry favor with someone, most likely to accompany his father-in-law, who should have a strong personality. Well, he doesn't care much about his wife, but he is very afraid of his wife, and there is a high probability that his wife's side can clean him up. ”
After a pause, he added, "Of course, my alibi didn't show me a problem, he didn't have a chance to kill, and it had nothing to do with this case." ”
Kiyomi Ruri nodded, agreeing with his statement, feeling that there was really nothing to question, but seeing that he had written the letter, there was an extra white envelope in his hand as soon as he flipped it over, and after loading the letter, he began to write on the envelope again, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "So this letter is for his father-in-law, and why do you carry the envelope with you?" ”
"Let them handle the housework by themselves, as for the envelope, I am a part-time magician, magicians do not perform unprepared performances, it is a matter of course to carry all kinds of props on their bodies, you need to ask?" Nanahara Takeshi finished writing, smiled happily, handed the envelope to her mouth, and motioned for her to lick the sealed re-wet glue, "Okay, go and stuff it into the mailbox of Deji's house, just put it together with those flyers and advertisements, someone will take it to the whistleblower and receive the reward, and that Deji guy will have a pleasant night." ”
Kiyomi Ruri glared at him, but seeing that he didn't protest in the face of doing good deeds, he stretched out his little tongue and licked the sealing glue carefully, then leaned against the fence to cover it, and secretly mixed the letter into the advertising flyer in the mailbox in front of Tokuji's house, and turned around and asked, "By the way, how did you find out that he was raising a lover outside, is it because he was beating my idea?" But he didn't show it at the time, I didn't even ...... I just have a vague feeling. ”
She was very well-behaved just now, and she said that she would lick it, and Nanahara Takeshi didn't embarrass her, and said directly: "There is a ring-shaped raised mark on the mezzanine of his wallet." ”
Kiyomi Ruri said strangely: "What do you mean?" ”
"Didn't you see him when he took his business card? There's a raised ring mark in the middle of his wallet where he keeps his bank cards, so you can think about it, why is there such a strange mark there? ”
Kiyomi Ruri followed him to the car again, made up the picture in his head, and suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand, he has a wedding ring on his hand, and he often stuffs the wedding ring in his wallet, so you suspect that he has a lover outside, but ......" Speaking of this, she shook again, thought about it and said confusedly, "But maybe it's because of his work, he's a painter, and he's afraid of getting dirty rings, so it's possible to take them off often, you're so sure, if you say it wrong, how embarrassing!" ”
Nanahara Takeshi glanced at her speechlessly: "Let's not talk about whether wearing a ring will hinder painting, let's just say that he works at home and has an exclusive studio, just take it off and put it away, are you still afraid of losing it, why bother so much and have to stuff it into the wallet mezzanine, so it can only be when he goes out to date his lover, he is afraid that his lover will be unhappy or afraid that a couple of men and women will be together, only if he has a wedding ring on his hand It is very strange, he will take it off, but he is afraid of losing it when he takes it off, so he will stuff it in that kind of place, so he must not have done anything good outside." ”
Kiyomi Ruri has no farts to let go, and she feels that she really has a lot to learn, but she is not so disappointed.
Although he ran for nothing and didn't find the real culprit, he found out a scum pervert, which is very likely to change the tragic lives of several girls, and it can be regarded as half a good thing, at least there is no loss.
No, it should be a big profit, and I learned a trick, which is a rewarding side quest.
Well, when I get home, I will find an opportunity to look at my father's wallet to see if there are any strange traces in it, and even if I will use it in the future, if I meet "the man in my fate", associate with him or even start a family, I should often find a reason to rummage through his wallet, so as not to become a poor wife like Mrs. Deji.
Yes, that's great!
She thought about it and got into the car with Takeshi Nanahara, and continued to move towards the next suspect, regaining interest in the strange gaze of Eri Nakano, after all, there are only two suspects in total, Tokuji Kenji is not, then the murderer must be Tatsuo Uchii.
The murderer is right in front of you, go and destroy him now!
