Kameda Atsushi's family conditions are obviously much worse than those of wealthy families like Kiyomi Ruri, and the family lives in an ordinary apartment building, looking at the appearance of the house for some years, somewhat dilapidated.

Kiyomi Ruri rang the doorbell several times, but there was silence inside the door, and no one answered.

She was slightly disappointed, and looked directly at Nanahara Takeshi, "It seems that no one is at home, what should I do?" "It's over, it's going to take a long time, and it may be difficult to solve the puzzle today.

"It doesn't matter if no one is at home, today is the first seven days of Atsushi Kameda, funerals, cremation and bone picking, and the first seven rituals, there are many things, and the people of the Kameda family will not be able to come back until night at the earliest." Nanahara Takeshi was not surprised, and directly bent down and pulled out two wires from his cuffs and stabbed them into the door lock.

It is said that this funeral also pays attention to the concept of "the first seven", which is to copy Chinese folk customs and then change them. Because it has been copied for a long time, this custom has also evolved in various parts of the country, and various differences have appeared.

For example, there are funerals, cremation (funerals), and rituals held together on the first seven days, and there are also those that only hold rituals; In some places, the first seven hours are counted from the day before death, and in some places, the first seven times are counted from the day of death, and even the size of the required urn is different, and in some places, the family only keeps a part of the ashes, and in some places, all the ashes of the deceased are boxed, and it is not okay to miss it at all.

So no one in the Kameda family today is not surprised, and Takeshi Nanahara has no patience to wait for tomorrow to come again, so he poked two wires into the door lock and fiddled with it slightly, and the door lock popped open with a soft "click".

As soon as the door lock opened, he raised his leg and was about to enter the door, but Kiyomi Ruri only reacted at this time, and quickly grabbed him, and said in surprise: "You...... How do you pick a lock? And we can't go in like that, it's against the law! ”

"I told you, I have been a magician for a while, all magicians will escape with both hands, and lockpicking is a compulsory course, so of course I can deal with this kind of household lock, and I am not a thief, I won't steal things, just take a look, and I don't feel sorry for what is broken, if you are afraid, help me let go outside."

After Nanahara Takeshi finished speaking, she shook off her little hand and went in, and said politely in the entrance "Excuse me", as if the master was at home, and this kind of behavior is too different from the education Kiyomi Ruri has received since childhood, she doesn't dare.

But......

She stood at the door of the room and looked left and right, and found that the corridor was silent but there was a hidden murderous intention, as if hundreds of people could rush out at any time to send her away, and her heart was even more empty, so she quickly followed in, closed the door with her hand, and muttered in a low voice: "No, I have to keep an eye on you, I can't let you do bad things......

Nanahara Takeshi didn't care what she said, and after a few glances in the living room of Kameda's house, he went to the inner room.

Kiyomi Ruri wanted to keep up with him, but noticed the Buddhist shrine in the corner of the living room, probably Kameda's family was too small to be placed here, and Kameda Atsushi's ashes had not been retrieved, and now there were only black and white posthumous photos, clear water, suffocation and flowers on the Buddhist altar.

Kiyomi Ruri hurriedly said "I'm sorry" to the posthumous photo, apologized for Nanahara Takeshi and himself, and then chased into the inner room.

Atsushi Kameda is a family of four, a wife, a daughter and a son, but the apartment is only two bedrooms, the living space is very embarrassing, and there are not many decent furniture and appliances, but the whole home is very clean and tidy, I think the hostess is very responsible, and I love this home very much.

Kiyomi Ruri followed Nanahara Takezen to finish the room of the Kameda family's children, took a look at the kitchen and the bathroom that doubled as a bathroom, and followed him into the Kameda couple's bedroom, and found that he really had a talent for being a thief.

Cash Qihara Takeshi didn't move, the passbook was opened and looked over, his brows were slightly furrowed, but he didn't say anything and put it back again, stuffed the large wallet back under the bedside table, picked up a few medicine bottles on the bedside table and looked at the labels, his brows were furrowed again, and then he went to open the closet and looked through the clothes, and then walked to the window to look at the appearance a few times, but when he turned around, he was stunned, leaned in front of a bookcase and began to look carefully.

"Did you find anything?" Kiyomi Ruri came over and took a few looks, but Atsushi Kameda was obviously not very interested in books, this handmade bookcase was more decorative, and it was full of outdated magazines, electrician's manuals, disaster relief manuals, dictionaries, etc., which belonged to the reference books and pastime books that most families would have, and it seemed that there was nothing worth paying attention to.

Nanahara Takeshi pointed to the partition on the first floor of the bookcase and muttered, "There used to be things here, but they were just taken away recently. ”

Kiyomi Ruri tiptoed and looked carefully for a moment, only to find that there was a faint trace on the partition, thinking that there was a rectangular box here for a long time before I came, blocking the sunlight coming in from the window, causing a slight color difference in the paint surface of the partition, but ......

She asked curiously, "Does it matter?" ”

"I don't know." Nanahara Takeshi shook his head, "But looking at it all the way, there is nothing in the Kameda family that can just be placed here to form such a trace." ”

Kiyomi Ruri didn't expect it, and suspected that something was broken and thrown away as garbage or sold second-hand goods, so he asked instead: "After reading it, do you find anything else?" Now you can decipher Kameda-san's secret words, right? ”

Nanahara Takeshi turned around and looked around the bedroom, and finally his eyes fell on the bedside table on the group photo of the family of four under the cherry blossom trees during the spring outing, it should have been taken many years ago, Atsushi Kameda looked like he was in his early thirties, the children were still young, and his wife was also very young, but he was thin and weak, and his face was slightly pale, but he was still smiling happily when he leaned on his husband.

He looked at it for a long time, and shook his head again: "Kameda is a very ordinary person, a member of all living beings, life is a little harder, but the family atmosphere should be good, the children are sensible and motivated, and the wife has some old problems, but he should be a good person, and he is good enough to run a family, such a person should not be so cautious, unless he ......"

Kiyomi Ruri hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" ”

Nanahara Takeshi looked at the photo and was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Unless he is guarding against the people closest to him and accidentally discovers what he is doing." ”

…………

Why is a person wary of the people closest to him? In a sense, this should be considered a betrayal, right?

Before, Kiyomi Ruri asked Nanahara Takeshi this question, but Nanahara Takeshi refused to answer, and it was just speculation, and now it's not good to say, so she has been thinking about what secrets besides cheating and scoring 15 points in the exam need to be so cautiously hidden from her family, and when she reacted, she had been led by Nanahara Takeshi to leave Kameda's house.

She was relieved that she hadn't been arrested for trespassing on a private house, but she faintly felt that it seemed a little exciting to sneak in secretly, so she quickly suppressed this kind of careful thinking, and asked Nanahara Takeshi, "What should we do now?" ”

I checked it at home and didn't find much of a problem, but I felt that the mystery brought by Atsushi Kameda was even bigger, and I couldn't find a clue more and more.

Nanahara Takeshi touched his chin and said: "It stands to reason that I should go to meet the murderer Aipu Jimitsu, but it is inconvenient for him to visit in the detention center, so I will go back and let the gold wire glasses make an appointment, so ...... There was a guess last night, and I thought it didn't make sense at the time, but now that I went to Kameda's house and took a look, it seemed that it might make sense again, and I felt that I could go and check it. ”

"What speculation?" Kiyomi Ruri immediately said positively, "I'll help you think about it." ”

"No, thank you." Nanahara glanced at her, "You just need to help me get my schoolbag." ”

Kiyomi Ruri pouted secretly, this annoying ghost, relying on a little cleverness to look down on people all day long, but she is a little used to it, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as she can follow Nanahara Takeshi, she can always find the truth.

She immediately asked, "So where are we going now?" ”

"Wait until I call and ask." Nanahara Takeshi found a public phone booth and got in, as if he was remembering something while flipping through the phone book, and soon began to make coin calls.

Kiyomi Ruri was embarrassed to go in with him, so he could only wait outside, and Nanahara Takeshi made seven or eight phone calls before it ended, and when he came out, he said, "Okay, the first suspect location is locked, let's go!" ”

"What is the first suspect, who were you calling just now?" Kiyomi Ruri followed behind his ass and said slightly dissatisfied, "Tell me first, can't you, we're partners, you should tell me." ”

"Find it first." Nanahara Takeshi is just suspicious now, can't be sure, and as he spoke, he called a taxi and got in, and directly reported the address and set off, on the way, Kiyomi Ruri didn't care when he spoke, and took out a pen and paper to draw a sketch portrait of Atsushi Kameda.

The taxi was speeding all the way, getting farther and farther away from Kameda's house, and it was about to stop when it was about to run to the outskirts of the city, and Kiyomi Ruri got out of the car and found that this is a bustling commercial street, with shops in front of or behind the residents' houses, and even two supermarket chains at the end and at the end, which are not small, and I want to come to several nearby towns and towns for daily shopping here.

She looked at the layout of this commercial street that looked a bit like the character "Tian", and suddenly thought of the two-page boxes on the "Kameda Secret Language", and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is ......"

Nanahara Takeshi nodded lightly: "Yes, there is a great possibility that this is the place where Atsushi Kameda eats and drinks every day." ”

"Because...... Because of the smell on his handkerchief? Kiyomi Ruri's face was incredible, what kind of brain circuit was this to think of here, and he called and asked and found it.

Nanahara Takeshi smiled and pointed to the scattered acacia trees on both sides of the commercial street, and said: "There are also these acacia flowers, Hirano is not Sapporo, and the Kanchang plants are still dominated by cherry blossoms, that is, there are many acacia trees in the commercial street, and there are only five or six places that happen to be in the flowering season, and there are basil pesto from Thailand, as well as newly opened bean bun shops and fish cake shops. ”

You're actually a dog, right?

Kiyomi Ruri looks at Takeshi Nanahara in disbelief, doubting that he can be a good police dog even if he can't be a good detective (Sanguan is too bad).

Really, this is not something that people can do, and she didn't smell anything before except that the handkerchief smelled sour.

She was so shocked that she didn't speak for a while, Nanahara Takeshi tilted her head to look at her expression, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't be scolding me in your heart, right?" ”

"Of course not." Kiyomi Ruri reacted and quickly changed the topic, "Why did Kameda-san come here to eat and drink?" He can bring a bento box at noon and go home to eat it at night! ”

"It's not clear now, but I think it should be a matter of money, and Aiura Jimitsu knows about it, so I'll go back and ask him." Nanahara Takeshi groaned, "According to the police interrogation record, before Aiura Jimitsu killed him, he had quarreled with Aipu Jimitsu twice, and the dispute became more and more intense each time, and he was killed the third time, there must be a problem in it, not only the contradictions at work, but also the hidden secrets, but now let's determine whether he often comes here to eat and drink." ”

After speaking, he pointed to a few boxes in the "Box Secret Language Map" and added, "These restaurants have the most marks, indicating that he goes to try the food every once in a while, and these restaurants should have some impression of him." ”

Kiyomi Ruri nodded, but he was convinced, it turned out that the incomprehensible "secret language block diagram" was just a record sheet of office workers eating and drinking, in case he accidentally went to a store to eat too much white food and was despised, and he really thought so much in vain last night.
