Chapter 45: Inspiration Muse Sees Classmates Clearly
Japan has always been wary of people owning guns. It may be the first country in the history of the world to implement a private gun ban through buyback. Its strict gun management ranks it about second among modern countries - next to it
The neighbor ranked first. This neighbor is more strict and has banned some toy guns. It has basically reached the limit of human beings.
Of course, the ban on guns here does not mean that no one can own a gun, but that "illegal possession of guns is strictly prohibited." Anyone caught will be punished without mercy, and the sentencing will only be severe.
Therefore, it is very troublesome to own a gun in Japan. According to the "Knife and Gun Control Act", if you want to own a long-barreled shotgun, you must first obtain a letter of recommendation from an organization such as a shooting club or hunting team, and find a
guarantor;
Secondly, participate in full-time off-the-job study, pass strict written examinations, live-fire shooting and gun maintenance assessments, and submit a mental health certificate to prove that you have no violent tendencies, anti-social tendencies or are preparing to commit suicide;
Thirdly, you must pass a strict background check, you must not have a criminal record, you must not be related to extremist groups, and it is best not to have neighborhood disputes or economic disputes;
Finally, you must purchase firearms and ammunition at a designated location, submit all personal information to the relevant police departments, and provide the location where the firearms and ammunition are stored at any time.
At this point, it is legal for ordinary people to own a long-barreled shotgun, but this is just the beginning of the trouble. The police will require the shotgun to be inspected once a year, and will also send people for random inspections from time to time. The gun license will be tested every two to three years.
You have to pay once for each test, even if it is placed in a place like Hirano, where there are pastures and the demand for shotguns is very high in daily work, there is not much relaxation - the Japanese police are very worried about people modifying guns privately, even sawing the butts short.
It's a crime, so I just want to take a look.
The gun inspection is more troublesome than the annual vehicle inspection. There is no way to find a way to have it done for you. It takes time and money. Therefore, unless it is required by work or if you are a real hunting enthusiast, most people will not take that trouble and spend that money.
Not many people have shotguns.
Yuuto Matsuuchi is also an art columnist for a magazine. Among the people he has come into contact with recently, there are no ranchers, rangers, or professional hunters. By cross comparison, there are only hunting enthusiasts.
Among the list of more than 70 people, only two people have shotguns in their names.
A man named Tokuyoshi Kenji, 37 years old, is a well-known painter who is keen on socializing and barely considered a socialite. He often gives advice in newspapers. He was once dissatisfied with the deceased's report on his new work and was in a small circle.
Slandered and abused him.
The other one was Tatsuo Uchii, a 40-year-old art dealer who ran a large gallery. The deceased had interviewed him two days before he was killed, but according to police investigation, it was a normal interview and there were no problems.
Both of these people had certain suspicions, so they were both included in the police investigation list, but they also provided sufficient alibi. Kenji Tokuyoshi was testified by his students, and he had been painting in the studio that night, and Tatsu Uchii The husband’s employee testified that after get off work, the two went to an izakaya to drink and chat about work, and then went to take a bath and get a massage. In the end, they were not satisfied and went to Uchii Tatsuo’s house to continue drinking. The employee stayed overnight that night. The Uchii family.
The search headquarters also investigated the two alibis, interviewed relevant personnel, and followed the clues, and found a series of supporting evidence to confirm that they were not lying. In addition, the motive of the two men for committing the crime was not sufficient.
It is very common for critics to slander and abuse journalists behind their backs. It is very common for critics to die a long time ago. Before today, Tatsuo Uchii had a close relationship with the deceased. They only knew him through work, and the deceased went there on his own initiative.
Therefore, these two people were eliminated as suspects by the search headquarters at the first opportunity, and police resources were not wasted on them.
Qing Jian Ruri was very excited about this. She felt that the case was finally on the right track and began to move closer to the field of mystery novels that she was familiar with - it was no problem to choose one of the classics. In mystery novels, they are all small opening cases, which is suitable for novices.
.
Moreover, she now believes in the "Hunter Theory" proposed by Takeshi Nanabahara. One of the alibi of the two suspects must be forged. The detective's destruction of the alibi is also a classic plot in mystery novels. She is looking forward to it.
I started to wonder what kind of trick it was.
Takenori Nanahara roughly looked at the information of the two people and the previous inquiry transcripts, then looked at the clock, and decided to work overtime today. He turned to Nakano Eri and smiled: "Ms. Nakano, let's go now while it's still dark.
Meet these two 'former suspects', I want to talk to them."
This was as it should be. Nakano Eri had no objection, and ordered Okuno Taiji and Hidakaji to continue to complete the handover, sort out a large amount of information from the search headquarters, clean up the room, and listen to the phone to listen to the instructions. If they find someone who needs to be arrested, they will be called.
Called them on the phone, and then set off with two high school students.
She watched with cold eyes along the way and found that the relationship between the high school couple was indeed a bit enviable and their relationship was very good. Takeshi Nanabahara had been worried about his girlfriend's safety and reminded her that the murderer's force level might be a bit high this time and asked her not to run around.
Staying by his side, even when he goes to the bathroom, he has to wait at the door. Qingjian Liuli is a little shy, but she seems to be very heartwarming. She keeps nodding obediently, which is a bit cute.
Sure enough, college dating was pure enough. It was rare to see this scene in society. She had to sigh and adjusted her glasses several times.
…………
Nakano Eri sighed as he drove, it was fast and steady, and the three of them quickly arrived at the residence of the first suspect, Kenji Tokuyoshi.
Well, Kenji Tokuyoshi is a professional painter. He works from home, and his studio and studio are on the first floor of his home.
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and Kenji Tokuyoshi was not busy. He received them immediately, but he could not say that he was very enthusiastic, especially when he heard that he was here again about the murder of Matsuuchi Yuuto, which was even more vague.
I felt so unhappy that I almost said "You idiots are wasting my time again".
Of course, he did not refuse to cooperate with the police inquiry. After chatting for a while, he quickly called one of his students over, pointed at him and said: "Ichigaya U-kun can testify for me. I was at home that night.
Working in the studio."
Ichigaya Ukun, whose full name is Ichigaya Uno, is in his mid-twenties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and is elegant. Moreover, he is the kind of student who lives in the teacher's house, works as an assistant when working, and works as a nanny when not working.
A natural alibi witness in a murder case.
At Takeshi Nanahara's signal, Qingmi Ruri began to ask excited questions about Ichigaya Uno, secretly comparing it with the previous police records to see if there was anything suspicious, but Kenji Tokuyoshi was painting in his exclusive small studio that night.
He didn't rest until after 11 o'clock in the evening, and around 9 o'clock, Ichigaya Uno also went to deliver tea once and met him with his own eyes. At that time, Kenji Tokuyoshi was not going well with his creation and had a bad temper, and even scolded him for being troublesome.
.
Overall, Tokuyoshi Kenji's alibi is not perfect. After all, no one accompanied him throughout the whole process, but it is difficult to doubt it.
Qingmi Ruri thought for a while, and then began to interrogate Ichidani Uno about his actions that night, trying to find out if there were any contradictions, but Ichigani Uno's answer was not stumbling at all. That night, he was doing tidying up work in the large studio.
Another classmate is also here and can help him prove it.
Well, this time the alibi was even more impeccable. Qingmi Ruri couldn't find any problem, but Tokuyoshi Kenji looked at her with a little interest and interjected: "This... Qingmi-san, right?
Qingmi-san, are you interested in becoming a model? Your skin is very good, your facial features are also very deep, and the light and shadow on your face are very spiritual. When I see you, I suddenly have a lot of inspiration..."
Qingjian Liuli glanced at him in surprise, and found that this guy was indeed a famous painter, and she was very discerning. At the first glance, he could tell that she was as cute and beautiful as a Tibetan fox. She was full of aura, which was a bit remarkable. No wonder
She looks quite elegant and easy-going, but she has no interest in being a model. Her ideal is to become a famous detective and detective. She immediately refused and said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, but it still doesn't work. I have more ideas."
You can do what you like."
Well, if you persist in being unwavering for a hundred years, you must become Miss Liuli Moss or Liuli Police.
"That's such a pity." Tokuyoshi Kenji didn't force it. He just looked at Qingmi Ruri's delicate little face and felt the girl's unique green aura with regret. He took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to her.
He smiled gently and said, "This is my business card. If one day you change your mind or become interested in art, you can contact me at any time."
Qingjian Liuli didn't want to accept it, and it would be useless if she did, but she didn't mean anything wrong. It seemed a bit rude not to accept the business card. Just as she was about to take it politely, Takeshi Nanabahara reached out and took the business card into his hand. He looked through it casually.
He smiled and said: "It's really not necessary, Deguisang, you don't have to try to get her idea, it's unnecessary, it will cost you your life."
He was really surprised. He didn't expect anyone to take a fancy to Qingmi Ruri, a stupid Tibetan fox. But no one in the world could touch his housekeeping robot, air freshener and stab-proof clothing. This was something he had to put in a lot of effort to do.
It would take a long time to get it, so how could he be indifferent, especially since he was sitting on the side, which made him look like a human being, and he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't answer the phone.
He seemed to be accusing Kenji Tokuyoshi of having bad intentions, but Kenji Tokuyoshi was a man of his own, so he didn't get angry directly. He just glanced at him with disdain, leaned back on the sofa and said, "What does this classmate mean by what he said?
Every artist will look for his or her own muse. This is normal. Don’t think too much and don’t speak too rudely. By the way, haven’t your parents taught you how to talk to adults?”
Takeshi Nanahara smiled: "I have taught you, so I don't need to worry about this aspect. In fact, if you really just admire her, I wouldn't mind sending her out to work. Modeling is also a serious job, but what about you?
No, you wouldn't let a guy who has been a lover for a long time get close to your female friends, right?"
The more he spoke, the more impolite and un-Japanese he said. Everyone in the visitor room looked at him and Tokuyoshi Kenji in surprise.
Ichigaya Uno, who was called to testify, was surprised at first, and stood up to scold him. But halfway up, he seemed to remember something, and the expression on his face turned thoughtful again. He bent over and stood there for a moment, while Qingmi Ruri subconsciously
She clenched her little fists and glared at Tokuyoshi Kenji. She didn't expect that this guy would dare to have ill intentions towards her. No wonder his face was ugly and ferocious. In the past, she would have knocked out three of his teeth with one punch.
Kenji Tokuyoshi's face turned completely dark. He didn't expect Takeshi Nanahara to speak so unscrupulously and without regard to the consequences. However, he did not yell at Takeshi Nanahara. He stared at him for a moment and said directly to Eri Nakano: "I will cooperate with the police investigation.
Is this how the police treat citizens? I will call the Wooten Police Department and you can leave now."
Takeshi Nanahara stood up and said with a smile: "You can complain as you like, but before I leave, just in case, can you let me visit the studio?"
Tokuyoshi Kenji was already very bored, waving his hands indiscriminately, and said impatiently: "It's inconvenient, you can leave. I really want to bring a search warrant next time, if you can apply for it."
"Okay, I guess it's hard to apply." Takeshi Nanahara said indifferently, "Then I'll go back and talk to Madam. It should be easy to make a phone call."
Tokuyoshi Kenji sat there unmoved, not even wanting to give it away. He laughed and said: "You are really naive. I have hired many models of all ages. Do you think you can destroy us by just saying something?"
The relationship between husband and wife? Forget it, for the sake of your young age, I won’t sue you for defamation. Leave now and don’t waste my time again in the future."
It's really unlucky, how come you meet such a sensitive psychopath, why do you protect your shortcomings so much? What a pity for that girl.
Takeshi Nanahara didn't leave. He tilted his head and glanced at him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I've been polite enough to you, and I don't want to interfere with your business. You just have to cooperate and cooperate without causing trouble. But you still dare to do this?"
Cursing me in my heart..."
Having said this, he bent down and whispered quickly in his ear, straightened up and smiled again, "Now that you can reorganize your words, I want to see the studio."
