Nanahara Takemasa pondered this very suspicious "death message", Kiyomi Ruri ran back, took his hand again, and told him the news he had inquired about, "The murder weapon has not been found for the time being, and the identification class is still searching, but judging from the wound of Xiao Lisan, the murder weapon should be a stone on the bonsai rockery." ”

Nanahara Wu nodded, he had guessed before, but he was still led by Kiyomi Ruri to touch the bonsai rockery that was originally placed on the table, and the bonsai rockery shrunk into inches, steep and rugged, made up of a number of strange stones, and currently there is a palm-sized one missing, combined with the wound on the back of the head of Oguri Yinchuan, it can basically be concluded that the missing strange stone is the murder weapon, but I don't know where the murderer hid.

After touching the bonsai rockery, Nanahara Takeshi had a thoughtful expression.

Kiyomi Ruri immediately asked with concern, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Nanahara Wu groaned and said: "It's really a little wrong, I can understand that the murderer touched a stone as a murder weapon, but why did he take it away?" A bonsai stone, and it is impossible to point to anyone, is it not good to stay on the spot? Whether you hide it or throw it away, the risk is higher, right? ”

Kiyomi Ruri immediately said: "This is very easy to explain, there will be the murderer's fingerprints on the murder weapon, he has to take it away!" ”

Nanahara Takeshi turned his head in the direction of the bathroom, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you want to bring back the evidence of the crime to clean your fingerprints?" ”

Kiyomi Ruri also looked at the bathroom, feeling that it was necessary to clean the stone as if it was necessary to bring it back, so he hesitated and said: "Maybe it was because of the impulse to commit the crime, the murderer was stunned at the time, and he instinctively fled with the murder weapon." Or after killing someone, I was too nervous, my brain was blank, and I only thought that I couldn't leave the murder weapon with fingerprints at the scene, but I didn't expect that I could clean up the murder weapon here. ”

Nanahara Takeshi touched his chin and said, "Impulsive crime? ”

Kiyomi Ruri tried to fulfill his duties as an "eye" and an assistant, tried to help him clear his thoughts, thought about it and said, "It should be an impulsive crime, and the current Asahikawa police also judge it this way." Judging from the situation at the scene, the incident should be very simple.

The murderer came to chat with Oguri-san on the grounds that he couldn't sleep at night, because he was an old classmate, Oguri-san was completely defenseless against the murderer, and during the conversation, the murderer picked up a stone and slammed the back of the head, causing him to be in a deep coma. Subsequently, the murderer mistakenly thought that he was dead, and fled with the murder weapon, and finally Oguri-san woke up briefly before his death, leaving a message of death with difficulty...... The whole process of the case should be like this, don't you think it's right? ”

Nanahara Takeshi touched his chin without stopping, and muttered, "Although it doesn't make sense at all, it still sounds a little weird." If the murderer committed the crime impulsively, can the two people in the previous conversation still be calm? Oguri Yinchuan is a criminal policeman, and his sense of vigilance is not as good as that of ordinary people, he has had a dispute before, and he can still show the back of his head to the other party, and he was smashed into a solid knot? That's a bit against human instinct. ”

Kiyomi Ruri made up for a moment, and felt that it seemed to be a little problematic, but hesitated: "Maybe the murderer is a gloomy person, even if he hates him to death in his heart, he is not moved on the surface, so Xiao Li-san has no vigilance." ”

Nanahara Takeshi said directly: "And then a person with a gloomy mind, just ignore it and do it?" In a hotel where dozens of people lived, at the risk of being inadvertently seen entering and leaving the deceased's room, or risking a blow that would not be fatal, Oguri Yinchuan resisted and shouted, and just stoned him to death? ”

Kiyomi Ruri was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said in confusion while thinking: "It seems a little unreasonable, isn't it an impulsive crime?" ”

If it weren't for the impulsive crime, then the Rising Sun River police are currently even wrong about the basic direction of the investigation, and the Rising Sun River police currently think that the murderer suddenly made a murder move, because of the hatred in college.

She thought for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and she was puzzled: "But if it's not an impulsive crime, then why did the murderer take such a big risk?" Oguri-san is here to attend the class reunion, and the murderer can slowly find a better opportunity, and he can't do it at the hotel! ”

Nanahara nodded: "Indeed, this is also difficult to explain, unless there is some reason that compels the murderer to do this. ”

It seems to make some sense......

Kiyomi Ruri thought about it, and also touched his chin and pondered: "If you don't consider the possibility of impulsive murder for the time being, from the perspective of the murderer's premeditation, it is indeed possible that the murderer does not want Xiao Li San to have in-depth communication with his old classmates, and is worried that he will accidentally say something that should not be said, so Xiao Li San may have mastered the black material of an old classmate?" ”

Nanahara Takeshi was also thinking about various possibilities, and nodded when he heard this: "This possibility is indeed not small. ”

Kiyomi Ruri immediately took out a small notebook, wrote down this suspicion, and was about to ask purposefully when he turned back to contact the suspect, and then asked with concern: "In addition to this suspicion, are there any other suspicions?" ”

Nanahara Takeshi turned to the position in front of the corpse and said, "This is the next symbol, is this really left by Oguri Yinchuan?" What did he mean by writing this symbol? ”

Kiyomi Ruri also looked at the bloodstain X, and said hesitantly: "Who else could it be if it wasn't written by Oguri-san before he died?" As for the meaning...... Maybe it's the romanization of the murderer's name? Or could it be the first letter of the murderer's English name, or it could be the murderer's nickname in college? ”

Nanahara Takeshi thought about it, and touched the bloodstain symbol on the ground in the past, and no one stopped him, I don't know how many photos of the identification class were taken, and the bloodstains on the ground will be washed away sooner or later, it doesn't matter.

Kiyomi Ruri thought for a while, and felt that there was still a lack of information to unlock the "death message", so he asked again, "What about these two doubts?" If impulsive crimes are excluded, then the disappearance of the murder weapon is also a suspicion? ”

Nanahara Takeshi nodded and said, "Yes, and why Oguri Yinchuan suddenly accepted the invitation, it's a little strange to think about it." He is not keen on socializing, and he has not been interested in the class reunion for more than ten years, so why he came with him this time, this is also a bit suspicious. ”

Kiyomi Ruri hesitated: "I happened to meet an old classmate I haven't seen for more than ten years, so it's reasonable to have fun together!" ”

"It can be said, but it's still a little suspicious, judging from Xiaoli Yinchuan's police rank, he doesn't look like a very gregarious person, this kind of person should not be easily called." Nanahara Takeshi turned around and left the scene of the crime, he finished collecting the information here, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's enough to have these doubts, now we should go and see the old classmates of Oguri Yinchuan to see who can solve our doubts." ”

…………

After Takeshi Nanahara left the scene of the crime, Ruri Kiyomi continued to act as his "eyes" and "legs", went to find the preliminary interrogation transcript of the Asahigawa police, and simply read him the key points, so that he had a good idea of the personal information of each suspect.

Then she pointed to the hotel room and described the scene to him, "Now the twelve suspects are in their own rooms, a total of ten rooms, all in the row on your left. Among the twelve, there were two couples, four occupied two rooms, and the remaining eight people each had one room, all of which were pre-booked rooms. Oguri-san, who was temporarily invited, was found at night, and the place where he lived was far away from his classmates. ”

Nanahara Takeshi nodded, showing that he, a "blind man", already knew the environment, and Kiyomi Ruri immediately asked, "Who did you see?" See you one by one by room number? ”

Nanahara Takeshi thought for a while and said, "Let's start with Seiji Matsugaki!" ”

Kiyomi Ruri wondered, "Why start with him?" ”

Nanahara Takeshi smiled: "He invited Oguri Yinchuan to come to the party, of course, he had to start asking." ”

Kiyomi Ruri suddenly helped Takeshi Nanagaki to Matsugaki Seiji's room, and Matsugaki Seiji's gang was "voluntary" to assist in the investigation, and they all stayed in their rooms honestly, and they were a little surprised to see the combination of Shichihara Takeshi and Kiyomi Ruri - a blind man with a JK? What's going on?

Nanahara Takeshi seemed to sense his doubts, took out the consultant ID of the Hirano Police Station and shook it, and said with a smile: "Matsugaki-san, don't be surprised, we are consultants who are here to assist the police in solving the case, if it is convenient, can we talk about it now?" ”

Matsugaki Seiji is a rather cheerful person, and when he heard this, he didn't pay much attention to the documents, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Of course it's convenient, I promised the police not to leave the room today, you can talk to me about anything you want, some is time, but I've already made a transcript, and I have said everything I can say, you can actually read the police transcript directly, and it's useless for me to say it again." ”

Nanahara Takeshi smiled: "I know, but I want to hear it again, please don't mind." ”

Matsugaki Joji couldn't go anywhere today anyway, so he led them to sit down, politely took a bottle of water for one of them, and said helplessly: "It's nothing, you ask, I also want to find the murderer of Oguri-kun quickly." ”

Nanahara Takeshi immediately said: "Then let's start with why you invited Oguri-san!" ”

Matsugaki Seiji sighed: "There's no why, I haven't seen him for so many years, and I suddenly met him, so I asked him to come with me, what is the reason." ”

"How did you come across it?" Takeshi Nanahara asked patiently.

Matsugaki recalls the scene of yesterday's meeting and replies: "We set off from Sapporo yesterday morning and arrived at Asahigawa City at about 10 o'clock, and then some people said that they wanted to go shopping in Asahikawa City, and some people were not interested in going directly to lunch, so we went our separate ways.

After splitting up, I walked with Baosheng and the others, preparing to find a unique place to taste the local food, and take a break by the way, but I met Oguri-kun on the way. We hadn't seen each other for many years, and everyone was very happy to meet, so we invited him to dinner, and when I mentioned the party again, he agreed. ”

Nanahara Takeshi raised his eyebrows and groaned, "Just agreed?" ”

Matsugaki Seiji was stunned and hesitated: "It seems to be hesitating, but it's normal, he didn't talk much when he was in school, and he rarely participated in various activities, if he hadn't seen him for more than ten years this time, I guess he might not have come, and I really mentioned it at that time." ”

Nanahara Wu nodded, and asked with a smile: "Who were the people you were eating with at that time?" ”

Matsugaki Seiji immediately said: "I, the two of Hosheng, well, it is Hosheng Hang and Hosheng Tomomi and his wife, as well as the guy Hamada Kanae and Takasaka Akira, there are five people in total, and the other seven people went to the shopping street." ”

Kiyomi Ruri immediately wrote down these five people in a small notebook, and Nanahara Takeshi asked in detail: "Who does Oguri-san talk to more during dinner, is there anything that is not normal?" ”

Matsugaki Seiji recalled for a moment and hesitated: "The main thing is that we are asking about his situation, after all, we are in constant contact with each other, he is not in Sapporo, and we don't know much about his situation over the years." As for who he talks to more...... I probably talk to Bao Shenghang a lot, they had a good relationship when they were in school, and Bao Shenghang has very strong communication skills, and he can talk to anyone. ”

"What about the others, who talks less to him?" Takeshi Nanahara seemed to be interested in this topic.

Matsugaki Joji thought for a moment and hesitated: "Bintian and Takasaka don't talk much...... I didn't think of it if you didn't mention it, but it's a little strange to think about it now, Takasaka is usually quite able to speak, but it was very quiet when I ate yesterday. Hosheng Tomomi didn't talk much, but she was usually like that, and she was quiet all the time, but Oguri-kun took the initiative to talk to her a few times. ”

Kiyomi Ruri immediately drew a circle on Akira Takasaka's name again, and Takeshi Nanahara continued to ask, "What did Oguri-san and Lady Hosheng Tomomi talk about?" ”

Matsugaki Joji said: "It's nothing special, it's just that I also care about her condition, and I talk about what happened in the school before, which is to talk about the old days normally." ”

"Is it normal to catch up?" Nanahara Takeshi touched his chin, pondered for a moment and didn't continue to ask about this topic, and asked him what he did last night, where the person was, and what he did after hearing the movement, and finally asked for a photo from Kiyomi Ruri, showed it to Matsugaki Joji, and asked, "What do you think of this photo?" ”

Matsugaki Shoji glanced at it and hesitated: "This X is a message left by Oguri-kun before he died, I saw it last night, but ...... I can't think of anyone who is related to us. ”

This is the most critical clue in this case, and Kiyomi Ruri immediately asked, "Can't you think of anything?" ”

Matsugaki Seiji affirmed: "I can't think of it, I've thought about it for a long time, and I don't have a clue." ”

Kiyomi Ruri can't help it, and the deceased's classmates can't think of it, so what does this X represent?
