"This person is suspected of committing a major crime!" Qingmi Ruri said excitedly immediately after leaving Hamano's house.
"Yes, this person is most likely stepping on the spot to prepare to commit murder." Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji were also in high spirits and said excitedly, "We will ask other residents again. If we can get similar information, we can report it to the search headquarters.
Already."
"Then let's hurry up!" Qingjian Liuli felt that she was already a real detective, and she was full of energy.
The four of them immediately went to the other side of Tominaga's house. There was also an old man living here, an old man named Hirakawa. He was over eighty years old and was also a member of the suburban retirement group.
Old Man Pingchuan was also not surprised by the police visit. The police officers from the forensics department visited his yard last night and kindly reminded him that someone would come to inquire today, so there was no need to be nervous, so he boiled water early and
Waiting to make tea to entertain guests.
Tea was quickly put on the table. Old man Hirakawa was very cooperative and answered all questions. However, the content of his answers was similar to that of Hamano and his wife. He did not think Tominaga Yosuke would get into trouble with others. After a few regular questions, Okuno asked the key question:
"Hirakawa-san, have you noticed anyone acting suspiciously in the past few days?"
"A traceable person?" Old Man Pingchuan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "After your reminder, it seems that there is indeed a stranger who is quite suspicious. I have seen him twice on the street."
Qingjian Ruri, Okuno and Hidaka's eyes lit up at the same time. Qingjian Ruri rushed to ask: "Then do you still remember his appearance?"
"Of course, he is a very strong man with a square face, a pair of thick eyebrows, a relatively big nose, wearing a black suit, a blue and white pinstriped tie, and a Yamamoto haircut." Hirakawa Koshi.
He said with more certainty, "His features are very obvious, so I was very impressed after seeing him twice."
Seeing Ruri Qingqing, Okuno and Hidaka breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As expected, this person was very suspicious. But Takeshi Nanabahara, who was lazily sipping tea while holding a tea cup as white as a crescent moon, suddenly became interested and asked.
Said: "Are you sure?"
Old Man Pingchuan said without hesitation: "I'm sure that although I'm old, I'm not blind yet."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Taiji Okuno felt that there was no need to ask any more questions, so he stood up and bowed slightly to say goodbye.
Pingchuan enthusiastically persuaded him to stay: "Just drink this cup of tea before leaving. It doesn't matter if you take a rest."
"No, no, thank you for your kindness. We still have official duties to attend to."
"It's really hard, please go slow."
The old man Hirakawa politely sent the four of them out of the yard, while Okuno waited a little further and said excitedly: "You can report to the search headquarters and let other teams cooperate in investigating this suspect with a square face and eyebrows. Well, the town's
People don’t know him, maybe he is a friend of Tominaga Yosuke in the collecting world or at work.”
Qingjian Liuli nodded in agreement, Nanabahara Takenori thought for a while and said: "Let's continue asking."
Okuno still paid great attention to his opinion and immediately asked: "Nanahara-san's... spiritual sense has been touched, do you think there is something wrong?" Hidakaji also looked over with great concern. After all, Takeshi Nanahara has proven himself
A "psychic genius", such a person's words cannot be without aim.
Takeshi Nanahara did not answer directly, but just smiled and said: "It's still early anyway, so it doesn't matter if I ask more, right? It's better to understand more comprehensively and avoid having to report repeatedly."
Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. The more detailed information they could find now, the better they would perform in front of their superiors later and the greater their credit would be, so they led them diagonally across from Tominaga's house.
Qingjian Liuli quietly asked Nanabaru Wu: "What did you find?"
Takeshi Nanahara covered his mouth and yawned: "It's nothing, I just feel a little weird."
Qingjian Liuli's curiosity became restless again, "If there is anything weird, tell me first and I will help you find the problem together."
Takeshi Nanahara glanced at her and ignored her, while Qingjian Liuli was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had committed the habit of asking for money again, so he said directly: "Do the accounting first, and I will give you the money later!"
"You'll know later." Takeshi Nanahara still refused to say.
While the two people were talking, they had already crossed the street and arrived opposite Tominaga's house. This family was a middle-aged couple in their thirties, surnamed Yamada. They seemed to be running tofu-related snacks and had set up a tofu-related snack in their yard.
The small tofu workshop is soaking beans right now!
Taiji Okuno started asking questions after a few polite words, and soon asked the key point: "Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously in the past few days?"
Mr. Yamada wiped his hands and hesitated for a moment, then said: "Speaking of suspicious behavior, there seems to be one in the past few days."
"Oh, do you still remember what he looks like?"
"Well, he has thick eyebrows and a square face. He is wearing a black suit and a blue and white pinstripe tie." Mr. Yamada tried to recall, "He must be about 1.7 meters tall. His shoulders are broad and strong. I have been there several times.
I saw him wandering around the town area, but I didn't pay much attention to him at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel suspicious."
Okuno had an unexpected expression on his face, and Takenori Nanabahara asked: "Are you sure? Is there anything else that needs to be added?"
Mr. Yamada was stunned for a moment and then started trying to remember. Mrs. Yamada said cheerfully from the side: "I have seen that man too. He has Yamamoto hair. He doesn't look like a good person. He is probably a gangster Yakuza!"
Takeshi Nanahara turned his eyes to her, looked up and down the middle-aged and fat Obasan, and finally his eyes fell on her dry and dry hands, and asked with a smile: "I would like to ask, how did you hurt your hand?"
?”
Mrs. Yamada was stunned, then opened her hand calmly, glanced at her husband angrily, and said: "This guy was so hairy when he handed me the scissors last night that I got a cut."
Mr. Yamada looked embarrassed and muttered in a low voice: "It's not careful. I have already apologized."
It was a very slender wound that had been treated with medicine, but it was relatively deep, so she didn't touch the water with her hands today and only let her husband toss the beans in the big wooden bucket.
Takeshi Nanahara glanced at the wound and did not continue to ask. Instead, he smiled and said: "It is right not to touch the water. This kind of wound heals slowly. You must pay more attention to it, otherwise it will leave scars."
Then they said goodbye and left. When they came out of Yamada's house, Okuno Taiji felt that it was almost done. The information he got was similar and he should be able to report it to his superiors. However, he did not forget Takeshi Nanabahara and looked directly at him to see what he had discovered.
Qing Jian Liuli didn't have much patience anymore. She frowned and stared at him closely, signaling him to let out the fart quickly and stop hiding it.
Takeshi Nanahara did not lie any more and said with a smile: "Someone is lying."
Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji said in unison: "Has Nanahara-san's spiritual sense really been touched?"
Qingjian Liuli knew his details and didn't believe that he had any bullshit spiritual sense, but she was convinced by his judgment and asked in surprise: "Who is lying?"
Takeshi Nanabahara first smiled at Okuno and Hidaka, and then told Qingmi Ruri: "It's useless to just say it, you also need to prove it. Go buy me a sketchbook and pencils."
"Let's go!" Taiji Okuno and Hidakaji went to the convenience store separately without even asking for a reason. It seems that Takeshi Nanabahara has established a very good credibility in their hearts.
After Qingjian Liuli and the other two people left, he said dissatisfiedly: "Who is lying? What problem did you find? We are partners now, you should tell me!"
Qingjian Liuli said directly with a wooden face: "Accounting!"
Takeshi Nanahara then smiled and said: "Don't you find it strange? The murderer was very rampant. Before committing the murder, he walked around openly in front of the victim's house, as if he was afraid that others would not find him. But after the murder, he actually
Is it logical to be able to miraculously clean up the scene without leaving any traces, and almost make the witnesses become drunkards, with extremely delicate thoughts?"
Qingjian Liuli was suddenly dissatisfied and said: "Hey, what you said doesn't seem to be very logical, but maybe his companion is more careful and he is less brainy."
"More than that, it's strange." Takeshi Nanabaru looked back at Hamano and the Hirakawa family, "I thought it was a bit strange at first, because the testimonies provided by the old Hamano couple and Hirakawa were too similar, and people have never focused on each other.
It’s different, it’s impossible to describe one person with such similar concerns, and now there are three companies, it’s 100% impossible.”
"focus point?"
"Yes, even if their descriptions are slightly different, they all mentioned face shape, eyebrows, hairstyle, height, and clothing, but no one mentioned eyes, mouth, or other features. This is abnormal."
"Maybe...maybe it's just that the suspect has obvious features in those places and is impressive."
Takeshi Nanabaru said with a smile: "Scientific experiments have proven that even if a person runs in front of dozens of prosecutors, lawyers, judges, reporters and police, the group of professionals will not focus on the same thing when describing that person, so
They have 100% colluded with each other to confess before, but they only think of this person when the police ask them, so what does that mean?"
Qingjian Liuli was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise: "Are they acting? In fact, there is no such thing as a square face with broom eyebrows. Are they deliberately misleading the police investigation?"
"Currently, this is the only explanation." Takeshi Nanahara turned to look at this harmonious and peaceful small town and said with a smile, "How can a group of people who have never committed a crime come up with such an idea to mislead the police in their investigation?
Not bad, but I have no counter-search experience and my lying skills are not very good."
This is indeed a group of novices, and their level is only enough to fool a little fool like Qingjian Liuli, but they happened to meet him. Isn't it like Lu Ban was playing with a big ax in front of the gate, Guan Gongying was playing with a big sword, and Confucius was reading the Classic of Filial Piety next to him?
There was no other way, even if they were unlucky, he had no choice but to teach them how to behave.
Well, after teaching these newbies how to behave, he will teach Qingmi Ruri how to be a good neighbor. This troublesome spirit dares to ruin his leisurely holiday and make him angry. He must pay the price!
Qing Jian Liuli was a little convinced by him. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. She was immediately shocked and couldn't help but said: "Is it possible that they are the murderers?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she hesitated. At least it wasn't the old Hamano couple. They were too old and had difficulty moving. It was completely impossible to tie up and torture a young man.
Old man Pingchuan is not like him. Even if he is still healthy in his eighties, it is difficult to subdue a young man.
The Yamadas are capable, but their temperament doesn't look like murderers...
Sure enough, Takeshi Nanahara stretched and said nonchalantly: "I don't know, maybe they are just covering up the murderer, but it doesn't matter. Just keep asking and find all the people who lied. The murderer is inside, and there will be someone there by then."
There are a hundred ways to recruit them."
This idea was reliable. Qingjian Liuli immediately asked curiously: "Then what do you want to do with the pen and paper? Do you want to prove that they lied? How to prove..."
Before she finished speaking, Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji had already bought back their sketchbooks and pencils. Takeshi Nanabahara picked up the notebook and drew two sketches. The drawing skills were very good. Although it was not about artistry, it was still
It's very realistic, just like it was printed out.
After finishing the painting, Qingmi Ruri suddenly realized and understood Nanabaru Takeshi's intention, while Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji also looked thoughtful.
Qin Yuanwu closed the book and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the next one."
At this time, everyone had no objections, and they went together to the house next door to the Yamada family, where a couple named Koga lived, but only the male host, Masaru Koga, came forward to receive them.
The process was the same. Officer Okuno asked questions, and Koga Masaru's answers were similar. He also vaguely remembered seeing a suspicious stranger in the town recently, and described the stranger's appearance in detail - a square face, broom eyebrows, and a nose.
He is very big, 1.7 meters tall, wearing a black suit, a Yamamoto haircut, and a blue tie with thin white stripes.
At this time, Takeshi Nanabahara took out a sketchbook next to him, pulled out a portrait, and asked with a smile: "Koga-san, please look, is this the person?"
Koga Masaru turned around and saw a portrait of a middle-aged man with a Yamamoto haircut, a square face, eyebrows, a big nose, squinted eyes, high cheekbones, and thick lips.
, was stunned, and said thoughtfully: "It's very similar, this portrait is..."
Wu Qiyuan smiled and said: "It is based on Mr. Hamano's description. Do you think there is anything that needs to be modified?"
Koga Sheng nodded, looked at the portrait carefully again, and confirmed: "This is the person, the painting is very good, there is nothing that needs to be modified."
"Are you sure?" Takeshi Nanahara asked, "It looks the same as the person you have seen?"
Koga Masaru answered resolutely: "I'm sure it's him!"
"Thank you for your cooperation. Sorry for bothering you." Takeshi Nanabahara thanked him with a smile and led Okuno Taiji and others to leave.
After he walked out the door and walked far away, Takeshi Nanabahara turned another page in his sketchbook, revealing another picture of a young man with the same Yamamoto head, square face, eyebrows, and big nose, but with big eyes, flat cheekbones, and thin lips.
Portraits - Although the two people in these two portraits have many of the same characteristics, they are completely two different people. Anyone who is not blind can tell them apart.
Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "Let's go to the next house and let the next house identify whether this is a suspect. If so, that would be interesting..."
At this time, his plan was completely clear. Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji looked at each other and basically confirmed that Nanahara Takeshi's guess was correct. He drew features such as cheekbones, mouth, eyes, etc. completely at will.
In this way, Koga Katsu actually feels that there is no need to modify it, and it is exactly the same as the suspect. This is obviously problematic.
They also reacted at this time and said in disbelief: "Is everyone lying? In fact, this suspect does not exist at all. These people conspired to make it up?!"
Takeshi Nanahara nodded and said: "Based on the current situation, this is the only explanation."
Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji were stunned for a moment, with extremely angry expressions on their faces.
If this is true, this is simply a blatant attempt to fool the Japanese criminal police and treat the Japanese violent machine as an idiot. It is absolutely inexcusable!
After being angry for a moment, they were frightened again. If Takeshi Nanahara hadn't volunteered to assist in the investigation, keenly discovered the "smell of lies" through his "spiritual sense", and was good at painting, they might not have been able to do so right now.
Already excitedly running to report to the search headquarters, all the investigators now began to search everywhere for that "square-faced broom-eyebrow".
How is it possible to find it? If you can't find it, it will become a fatal case!
The police almost became clowns again!
Okuno Taiji sincerely thanked Takeshi Nanahara: "Thank you so much, Nanahara-san, you really helped me a lot this time." He felt that it was necessary to get him some discount coupons later, and they had to be close to free.
Premium discount coupons, otherwise they are not enough to express gratitude.,
At this moment, Qingmi Ruri also confirmed that Takeshi Nanabahara was 100% right. He was also very angry and felt that he had been fooled. He said angrily: "These guys, why do they do this, why do they want to cover a criminal? Theirs
Neighbors and friends were killed!"
"We'll know soon." Qiyuan Wudang set out first, "Let's go to the next house."
As long as it is confirmed that the residents of Oda Town are collectively shielding the suspect, the matter will be simple. At that time, these shielders will be invited to the police station collectively, whether it is to focus on questioning and ask them to explain "Why can you see two aspects of a suspect?"
It doesn't matter, or you can create a prisoner's dilemma and interrogate them separately, which will always allow them to recruit the sheltered person.
That person is the murderer!
As long as the murderer is found, he can go back to sleep in his cage, and in two days he will make Qingmi Ruri, a troublemaker, pay a heavy price for looking for trouble today!
This is not over yet! This chapter has been completed!
