Chapter 224: Adopted Daughter

Takeshi Nanahara walked around Sukada's house, looking at the kitchen, bedroom, guest room, bathroom, bathroom, warehouse, front and back yards, and even the exterior walls of the villa, but finally found nothing.

Kiyomi Ruri had been following him, and when she saw him standing still in the courtyard, she asked carefully, "Is there anything suspicious?"

Nanahara touched his chin and recalled again, and said, "I didn't find it."

Kiyomi Ruri was a little disappointed, and asked reluctantly, "Nothing found?"

"There must have been a discovery, but none of it has anything to do with the case." Nanahara Takeshi was still repeatedly touring the villa in his mind, and said, "Sukada and his wife have a good relationship, they are the kind of old-fashioned couple that are more traditional, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, not to mention how deep the love is, but for many years, the husband and wife have their own family affection, and she is very satisfied with her current life, and there is no reason to poison her husband."

"What about Asa-san?" Kiyomi Ruri immediately asked, "She doesn't have a motive for committing the crime?"

Nanahara Takeshi muttered: "No, Mitsuko Asaeda has an honest and responsible personality, she works hard, and she gets along well with the Sukada couple, and she doesn't hate them, and she likes Mai Sukada very much, and treats her as half a daughter, and I don't see any reason to poison Sukada Yukio."

Kiyomi Ruri was stunned for a while, believing his judgment, but there were only two suspects in total, neither of them, could it really be an outsider who committed the crime?

Nanahara Takeshi knew what she was thinking, and said directly, "There is no trace of an invasion by outsiders, and there were indeed only three of them in the villa before."

It is impossible to jump up to the second floor at once, and he should leave some clues, but he has carefully inspected the windows, walls, and front and back yards of the villa, and looked at them repeatedly with his "super vision", and he is very sure that there are no signs of climbing recently-his eyes can distinguish more colors than ordinary people, even if the wall is just rubbed and leaves no traces, he can see it.

In the end, there really isn't.

Kiyomi Ruri was even more stunned, the two people present at the time were not poisoned, and no outsiders had entered or exited the villa at that time, and Sukada Yukio did not commit suicide, so how did he die?

The modus operandi is not clear, and the motive for the crime is not clear, so what should I do?

She hesitated and said, "Then we can only start with Kikuma Hisami?"

Nanahara Takeshi nodded: "Let's see how the golden glasses mother investigates, there are some problems with the case of Yasei Kikuma's long meeting."

The inexplicable poisoning of an old criminal policeman who retired from illness is not profitable at all, and it is not a family conflict, nine times out of ten it is revenge or revenge, and it also involves the "resurrection of the dead" of the felon, there must be a lot of cats.

Kiyomi Ruri had no opinion, but said dissatisfiedly: "I said don't give Sister Huili a nickname, don't call her glasses lady all day long, it's not polite at all."

Nanahara Takeshi smiled indifferently and said, "What's wrong with nicknames between friends, and there is no insulting meaning, don't you scold me in your stomach all day long? Did I say anything?"

"You didn't say much!" Kiyomi Ruri replied in a low voice, but she didn't continue to chatter, after all, Nanahara Takeshi said at most that she was like a beautiful and cute Tibetan fox, but she often scolded him in her stomach for being a dog, which was indeed a bit of a loss.

She is quite satisfied with the nickname of Tibetan Fox, and if Qiyuan Wu calls her Little Fox every day, she will not be angry...... Just a little angry, mainly a little shy.

The two of them whispered and returned to the living room of the small villa, Sugata Sayoko and the three of them had already written the list of visitors for the past two months, and they hurriedly handed it to him when he returned.

He took it and took a closer look, and found that there were really a lot of people, and in the past two months, Sukada Yukio had received nineteen visitors, some of whom had come many times, for a variety of purposes, from asking him to help raise money to running out of boredom to play chess and chat.

Eri Nakano also came back at this time and asked him with concern, "Is there a catch?"

If Takeshi Nanahara can find the murderer at a glance in this case, then she will have to pay the consultant fee at the original price (super high price), and she will have to pay double copies, that is, she will have to pay one share for Kiyomi Ruri, the "detective assistant (girlfriend)", and she will lose a lot.

But if Nanahara Takeshi can't find the real murderer for a while, it will be a troublesome case, and Nanahara Takeshi will have to collect money at least 50% off, which makes her ask at this time, and her heart is a little complicated, and it is not good to say whether she is looking forward to Qihara Takeshi gaining or not.

Nanahara Wu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no gain for the time being, this case is indeed a bit troublesome, you don't have to worry about your case handling funds by Xi."

He made a joke and told her about his speculation. Eri Nakano helped his glasses, or flashed a white light of "disappointment", there is no need to lose money, but the trouble in the case is not good news after all, an old-timer from the search department died, the pressure is still there, and it is best to solve the case as soon as possible to solve the case as soon as possible.

However, she quickly put this distracting thought out of her mind, and said, "Then check Kikuma for a long time here, his death is indeed a bit strange, I will have someone make a copy of the file and send it to you later, you can take a look at it at night, and inform me at any time if you find anything."

"No problem." Qiyuan Wu collected the money to do things, and immediately answered, and handed her the list, "Check these people first!"

Even if Takeshi Nanahara doesn't say it, Eri Nakano will also strictly investigate Yukio Sukada's recent visitors, after all, Kikuma Hisami may be hidden in these visitors, otherwise he won't be able to leave fingerprints.

Things are all arranged, but this case will definitely not be solved today, and there is no point in staying in the small villa, she is ready to close the team, but Mai Sukada is not easy to handle - she is ready to bring the two suspects back to assist in the investigation, but Mai Sukada is still young, and she is paralyzed and in a wheelchair, so it is not good to leave her alone at home.

Well, she also believes in Nanahara Takeshi's judgment, and feels that the suspicions of the two women Sugata Sayoko and Asaeda Mitsuko are very small, but she has always been careful and careful, and she feels that she should be temporarily brought back to the police station for interrogation and interrogation - a small suspect does not mean that there is no suspicion, the world is unpredictable, no one dares to say that it is 100% correct, and Nanahara Takeshi should not dare either, and on the bright side, the two of them are the first suspects in this case, and whoever handles the case must be brought back first.

In case she puts someone at home and really runs away, she will be in big trouble at that time, so it is better to do things according to the rules, which is a kind of self-protection.

She discussed it with Sayoko Sukada, hoping to find a relative to let Mai Sugata borrow for two days, but Mai Sugata herself objected and didn't want to cause trouble to her relatives, so she finally discussed for a while, Mai Sugata could stay at home by herself, go to school during the day, and then ask the local police officer to send a policewoman to accompany her at night.

Of course, this is for the sake of the incense, and in this case, children under the age of 16, whose guardians are brought back to the police station on suspicion, are usually sent to social welfare institutions to take care of them first, and the police will not do so much.

When these trivial matters are over, Eri Nakano will take someone back to the police station first, even if the criminal police have to eat, and they can only continue to work after eating, and Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi will go home first - Eri Nakano offered to take care of the meal, but she was so picky that she still refused to invite guests to a big meal, so forget it.

...........

It was more than seven o'clock in the evening when they got home, Kiyomi Ruri put on a piggy apron and went to cook, Nanahara Takeshi followed her and continued to point fingers, correcting her mistakes from time to time, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them made two dishes and one soup and had dinner together.

Kiyomi Ruri was indeed hungry, so she first cooked two bowls of rice with sweet kung pao chicken and braised mutton, and then sucked a small half bowl of seafood gnocchi soup, and then asked Takeshi Nanahara, "I'm going to cook for Mai-chan tomorrow, right?"

She felt that Mai Sukada was a little pitiful, her father was killed, her mother became a suspect again, and she was still paralyzed and in a wheelchair, so she couldn't help but want to go over and help.

There's no purpose, not even to show off, or to help out.

She's such a person, and she's quite caring.

Nanahara Takeshi was ten times more elegant than her, and slowly drank the gnocchi soup with a spoon, feeling the faint fragrance of the face, and said unlovingly, "I don't need you to do much, she can cook by herself."

Kiyomi Ruri served herself a bowl of rice, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't have any sympathy at all, how do you know that she can cook, didn't she hire a maid at home?" Usually Aunt Asae cooks, and she is still in a wheelchair, so it's so inconvenient, we shouldn't take care of it

Take care of her?"

"It doesn't matter if you hire a maid at home and you can cook or not." Nanahara Takeshi came back with a piece of boiled mutton, and said vaguely while eating, "She is at Sukada's house, and she probably wants to do more, even if her legs and feet are inconvenient, she will cook from time to time and do some housework within her ability, not as weak as you think."

Kiyomi Ruri wondered, "What does she mean she wants to do more?"

Nanahara Takeshi said casually, "She is the adopted daughter of the Sugata family."

"Adopted daughter?" Kiyomi Ruri was stretching out her chopsticks to pick up the mutton, and for a moment the mutton fell back into the casserole, and said in surprise, "She was adopted?"

Nanahara Wu looked at the pieces of mutton that fell back into the casserole with disgust, replaced them with chopsticks and took them out for her, and then said, "Nine out of nine, yes, there should be no blood relationship."

Kiyomi Ruri was still a little stunned, "What...... Why hasn't anyone said that?"

Nanahara Wu took a bite of rice and said indifferently: "Who would talk about this kind of thing, and she is not a suspect, she is only fourteen years old, she is still a child, and the glasses lady probably didn't think to go through her household registration information."

This is also true, as an adoptive parent, when you see someone, you say, "This is my adopted adopted daughter", that is too heartbreaking for the child, it is unlikely.

Kiyomi Ruri felt that it made sense, but immediately asked curiously, "How did you see that?" I didn't feel it at all, I thought it was just an ordinary family of three."

Nanahara Takeshi stretched out his chopsticks to clip the mutton again, Kiyomi Ruri loves meat very much, eats more and faster, theoretically it should be half of a person, but every time she eats her own half, she stretches out her chopsticks to clip his half, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of, she doesn't care if she scolds her for eating too much, all kinds of mouths, she can only eat it quickly.

As long as he doesn't owe anyone else, then no one wants to take advantage of him, and neither can the Tibetan fox assistant.

Emperor Interception Heaven has to eat half of it anyway, unless he doesn't like me, so he can let her eat more.

As he ate, he asked, "What do you usually call your parents?"

"Mom and Dad?" Kiyomi Ruri said inexplicably, "On more formal occasions, just call Mom and Dad, what's wrong?"

"What about her?"

Kiyomi Ruri was stunned for a moment, and then reacted a little.."Father and mother? She's been saying honorifics?"

It's a bit suspicious to say this, Sukada's family has a little money, but it's about the same as her family, or slightly stronger, but it's not to the point of being a famous family, Mai Sukada is not a big lady, she opens her mouth to be "Father" and "Mother", and she keeps saying honorifics when talking to each other, which is indeed a bit of a discord.

But she was still a little unconvinced, and immediately said, "Maybe it's because we are here, and her tutor is too good and polite, so she keeps saying honorifics to her parents."

Nanahara Wu said lightly, "This is just one of them, they don't look alike. Her facial features and face are not at all similar to those of the Sukada couple, and there are no genetic traits to be seen, and with the age of the Sukada couple, if she were biological, they would have had children too late—Sukada Yukio is almost sixty years old, and his daughter is only fourteen years old, so the difference is a bit big."

After a pause, he added, "Looking at Sayoko Sukada's body, it doesn't look like she has given birth. Judging from the traces of daily life, she has no fitness habits, and if she really wants to give birth, her waist should be thicker than now."

Kiyomi Ruri recalled that when she inspected the villa, she had seen photos of Sukada and his wife, and even a group photo of their family of three. Thinking about it now, Mai Sukada does not look like them at all, and if they meet separately, she will most likely not believe that they are father and daughter or mother and daughter.

She was a little convinced, took a bite of food, and hesitated, "Is it really an adopted daughter?"

This guy is really careful, he can see so many things, although it is not complicated, if I had known, I could have seen it if I paid more attention, but I still have to say, this guy is really careful.

No, I'll have to be more careful in the future, otherwise I'll always look stupid.

"I think so, but it doesn't matter." Nanahara Takeshi also said this through small talk, and it is estimated that the Sukada couple are too old and have no children, so they adopted one when they were desperate, which is not much

Rare things, in Japan there are more similar things - here at some point, I really don't care much about blood relations, and the status of adopted sons and daughters is the same as that of sons and daughters, and the surname is the key.

And he looked at it carefully, Mai Sukada lived very well in Sukada's house, she was not abused, she was not subjected to cold violence, except for being too polite to her adoptive parents and somewhat alienated, there was no big problem - it was normal for people to be alienated, and there was no need to be too harsh.

What's more, she has been with her adoptive mother before, and she is really sad with her, but she is not as sad as her adoptive mother, and she doesn't look like she has a motive to commit the crime.

He knew it in his heart, but he was still a little suspicious and suspicious, after all, there was not even a suspect in this case at present, Mai Sukada suddenly became an adopted daughter, she was inevitably a little more suspicious, but she was making all kinds of speculations in her heart, recalling the various family dog blood ethics dramas that she had watched with her mother, and the doorbell rang.

Of course, it was her job to open the door, she went over to open the door and took a look, and found that it was Nakano Eri again, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister Eri, did you personally send the case file over?"

Of course, Eri Nakano didn't come to deliver the case file, and said with an ugly face: "No, someone has been killed again, is Nanahara here, call him, let's go over and have a look."

This case is really troublesome, and it has also started to get bigger, and another criminal policeman has died.

Fortunately, Nanahara Takeshi is now starting to handle the case with discounts, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.
