Chapter 8 Perception Finder

Yamashita's house is located on the top floor of an eight-story apartment building, with the house number 801.

The apartment manager was a little surprised that the police came and went, but he didn't say anything. He took the spare key and went upstairs to open the door and let Takeshi Nanahara and his party in.

Qing Jian Liuli took a deep breath as soon as she entered the door, feeling a little intoxicated.

This is the smell of "Crime Scene". After studying mystery novels for so many years... No, after studying reasoning and deduction methods for so many years, I can finally apply what I have learned!

She slowly exhaled the air in her lungs, and instantly became tense. Her eyes were as sharp as a police dog's, and she began to look left and right.

The apartment is very large, with a 1L1D2R layout, that is, a large apartment with a living room, a dining room, and two rooms, with separate toilets and bathrooms - two rooms, one is a bedroom, and the other has been converted into a studio, filled with documents and drawings.

and various electronic components.

The closets in the living room and dining room have also been modified and turned into flower racks with many potted green plants.

Well, the head of the household has a good income, takes his work very seriously, and may be a workaholic.

Qingjian Liuli took advantage of the opportunity when no one was paying attention to her, and quickly walked around each room, not missing any suspicious place, but after walking around, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It's different from mystery novels. Usually when the protagonist arrives at a crime scene, he will always find something unusual, but this room is too normal.

The floor is clean and free of foreign matter and not even a hair;

The doors and windows are in good condition, not to mention broken, not even scratched;

The bed and furniture were neat, everything was where it should be, and even the clothes hanging on the balcony were hung like troops waiting for review.

It doesn't look like any crime happened here, there's nothing strange about it.

She stood there frowning and thinking for a while, then turned around to find the apartment manager and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, when was the last time you saw Yamashita-san?"

The apartment manager gave her a strange look, not quite understanding who she was, but did not refuse to answer, "The police officer asked me before. The last time I saw Yamashita-san was around nine o'clock the night before yesterday, when he had just gotten off work.

return."

"You haven't seen him since?"

"No."

Qingjian Liuli said thoughtfully: "That means he didn't leave this building?"

The apartment manager looked at her speechless for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "This... classmate, this is an apartment building, not a prison. I won't keep an eye on the door all the time. Did Yamashita-san do anything when I wasn't paying attention?

You left when you were busy with other things, I can't guarantee that, and I told the police officers the same thing before."

Qing Jian Liuli was slightly embarrassed and whispered: "That's what you said."

Then she thought about it and asked expectantly: "Have you noticed anything unusual in the past two days? For example, you heard some strange noises, suddenly saw a black figure and thought you were dazzled? Or you were in the apartment

Did you see strange traces or items suddenly appearing somewhere in the building?”

Generally speaking, when the novel reaches this point, it is up to passers-by to provide clues to the detective, and an unintentional remark can directly wake up the detective!

The apartment manager became more and more confused about who she was and looked at her like a fool, "No, everything in the building has been normal these two days, and if you ask, the previous police officer has asked her."

Qing Jian Liuli's face went blank, why don't you play your cards according to the routine? How can I solve the case?

She began to feel embarrassed. Judging from the current situation, maybe Yamashita Yu just left home to relax, or at least he left voluntarily. There was no way to trace it. It seemed that there was no other good way except for everyone to pay attention. That was not in vain.

Come for a visit?

She was disappointed, but immediately became nervous again.

Damn it, if that guy can't find someone and makes the police and the victim go on a wasted trip, what will happen then? He will definitely be scolded then, right?

Thinking of this, she became even more nervous. She hurried to find Takeshi Nanabahara and found that this guy was carefully looking at a potted plant. She suddenly became angry again - how long has it been and you are still here pretending to be a ghost! There are police present now, not you.

Time to cheat money!

She tugged on Takeshi Nanahara's back hem and whispered: "Stop pretending. In my opinion, Yamashita-san may have gone out to relax. This is not something we can handle, so let's go quickly!"

After a pause, she added, "I'll apologize to you, and I won't get scolded."

Why do you want to accompany me to apologize?

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her sideways and didn't want to talk to her, but for the sake of her words, he casually said: "I'm not going out to relax."

"Not relaxing? How do you know?"

Takeshi Nanahara explained casually: "Everything indoors is clean and well-organized. There are schedules and fitness plans posted on the refrigerator. There is no alcohol or cigarettes in the house. The bookshelves are filled with books related to potted gardening, some of which have obviously been purchased for a long time.

, it has been checked repeatedly, but it is still clean. Not only is it not stained at all, but the corners of the pages are not even curled at all.

All this shows that Yamashita Yuu is a person with clear goals, very self-discipline, a bit of a mild mysophobia, and extremely energetic. Apart from high-intensity work, he still has the energy to maintain his hobbies and can find time to carefully take care of potted green plants. It is hard to imagine that

Such a person will be overwhelmed by the pressure and go out for fun for no apparent reason."

Qing Jian Liuli was stunned, recalling the scene in Yamashita's home, and felt that what he said seemed reasonable, and immediately said: "I also discovered what you said, but it is definitely true that Yamashita-san left on his own initiative, and we are now

We can't find any clues to determine what he did, so everything you said is useless. We still have to rely on the police to find someone. It would be better for us to apologize quickly and go back."

She still had the mentality of a minor, for fear of making an adult angry, Takeshi Nanabahara didn't bother to talk to her, and said angrily: "If you can't find it, keep looking. How can you make money so easily!"

"Then how to find someone?" Qingjian Liuli was scolded and pouted a little unhappy. She also wanted to find someone, but there was nothing she could do now!

Takeshi Nanahara turned his eyes back to the potted plants and said softly: "There is no flower fertilizer or gardening tools in the apartment."

Qingjian Liuli looked at the potted plants and said in disbelief: "Are you still going to fertilize the flowers at this time?"

Takeshi Nanahara didn't know what to say about her for a moment. He was speechless for a moment and said: "This is the 'Little Tsukihime' in 'Yeyan'. It is an artificially cultivated species of the genus Epiphyllum in the Cactaceae family. It was specially cultivated for human viewing.

It has extremely strict requirements on the living environment. As long as the temperature, humidity, and soil pH are not right at all, it will die in less than three days. It will never be left here forever - it is almost dead now."

Then he twirled the soil in the pot, put it in front of his nose, sniffed it, and said thoughtfully, "Like the other pots, the last time it was fertilized and watered was two or three days ago."

Qingjian Liuli was still confused and said confusedly: "So..."

"You are so stupid." Takeshi Nanahara was completely speechless at Qingmi Ruri's head, "Yu Yamashita obviously has a place specializing in potted plant care, and it's very close to here!"

…………

"Nanahara-san, have you sensed Yamashita-san's location?" After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Takamatsu finally couldn't hold back her anxiety and stepped forward to ask.

Qin Yuanwu shook his head and said: "The aura here is very peaceful, there is nothing to discover."

Mrs. Takamatsu was disappointed, and the two detectives also showed unexpected expressions. Takeshi Nanabahara turned to the apartment manager and asked: "Mr. Manager, I sensed from Yamashita-san's aura that he often gets close to Green Value, so he should

There is a greenhouse for maintaining potted plants, do you know the location?"

Before the apartment manager could answer, the taller and stronger one among the detectives spoke up, pointed at the ceiling and said, "It's on the rooftop. We've already taken a look. Everything is normal there."

The police are not idlers. They don't even need to reason. They just need to ask people when they see them. The places where they can be found have already been found.

And if Mrs. Takamatsu hadn't been a close relative of the director, he would have stopped this farce long ago. Now he has little patience left. Taking the initiative to answer the call also conveys a kind of impatience - if it weren't for Taken Nanabahara, he would never do it.

He took the initiative to mention the greenhouse, and was ready to chase him away after he finished "sensing" the apartment.

But unfortunately, he was discovered, which made him even more upset.

Takeshi Nanahara didn't care if the two detectives were still impatient. He thanked the administrator and asked the administrator to lead the way. Qingmi Ruri and Mrs. Takamatsu naturally followed, while the two detectives shook their heads helplessly and could only follow behind.

I have no choice but to waste more time looking at the greenhouse. Let these two brats leave as soon as possible.

Yamashita Yu's apartment was on the top floor, very close to the rooftop. As he was walking, Takeshi Nanahara suddenly stopped and tilted his head to look at the door of room 803. Detective Sergeant Gao Zhuang who was following him sighed: "What's wrong?"

Takeshi Nanabahara said nothing, lying on the door and looking in through the peephole, his expression was playful and his movements were a bit abnormal.

Everyone was speechless. Qingjian Liuli pulled the hem of his clothes hard, signaling him to stop nagging and get down to business. Takeshi Nanahara shrugged, smiled and continued walking forward, and went up to the rooftop with everyone.

Yamashita Yu's greenhouse is quite large and has a high degree of professionalism. It seems that he really likes potted gardening, and he's not short of money. He has raised nearly a hundred potted flowers of all sizes, including many rare and precious varieties, which will make people see them as soon as they come in.

A feeling of light in front of your eyes.

This was the last hope. It was estimated that the police would not be able to accompany them to search other places. Qingjian Liuli braced herself up and looked around, and found that except for potted plants, there was nothing that shouldn't be there at all. She even refused to give up.

Next, I used a small shovel to turn over the fertilizer soil piled in a corner. I found that it was just some yellow, black, and dark red loose soil, mixed with a small amount of sand and gravel. Not to mention people, there were not even insects.

Alas, you really shouldn't have come. Searching for people is the professional field of the police. That guy wants to use this to defraud money. It's really crazy.

Seeing Liuli frustrated and worried, Qing Qing had already begun to think about how to apologize for Takeshi Nanahara when he was scolded later.

"Is it okay to go back?" Detective Gao Zhuang said while suppressing his impatience, "We have already searched this place, and there is nothing suspicious. If we go back earlier, we can issue a joint investigation notice earlier, which will be more helpful in finding Yamashita Sang."

"There is no need to issue a notice of co-investigation." Takeshi Nanabahara stared at a small red rhododendron tree for a while, and said regretfully: "Yamashita-san is in the greenhouse."

"In the greenhouse? Where?" Everyone was shocked and looked around.

"Here." Takeshi Nanabahara took the small spring tree off the flower stand, carefully pulled out the flowers, and then pushed the flowerpot to the ground.

When the flowerpot was lifted up, a severed hand rolled out of the splashing soil and landed in front of Qingjian Liuli.

The hand was amputated at the wrist, and after being buried in a flower pot for a while, it turned into a dead fish-white color, and was slightly blue and swollen. It fell to the ground and bounced twice.

Qingjian Liuli stared at the severed hand for three seconds with her mouth wide open, took three steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

She just liked mystery novels, and it was her first time to come into close contact with a corpse. Even if it was just a severed hand, the psychological and physical impact was very strong.

Takeshi Nanahara looked around the greenhouse again, stretched out his fingers and touched the flower stands one by one, and said calmly: "These two pots, that pot, that pot, those two pots, and that row over there... other parts of Yamashita mulberry, in

in."

The expressions of the two detectives had changed drastically at this time. After quickly writing down Takeshi Nanabahara's instructions, they looked at each other in disbelief.

It turns out that this high school student is really a psychic and can really perceive certain things that ordinary people cannot perceive!
