Chapter 22 22. Nagano

There was no such thing as a goodbye kiss, not to mention that there was an underage Xia Xi by his side, Rao Toru Amuro drove the two of them to the station at a high speed, and it was just in time for the ticket inspection.

"Thank you, brother-in-law, for your hard work!" Natsuki took the bag in Toru Amuro's hand, and said with a smile, "Then I'll stop first, and you should say goodbye if you want."

"This child..." Jieyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm only going back for two days, and it's not like I'm going to go for a long time. Why say goodbye? I don't see you in a day, like three autumns?" She and Toru Amuro hadn't seen each other for so long. , It's not that exaggerated.

"What she said makes sense." Amuro Toru smiled, "It's one thing to miss something you can't see, but another thing to actually see it. I really miss you."

Jieyue was slightly surprised, she looked up at Toru Amuro, but fell into his arms the next second.

"Come back early." He whispered in her ear, "Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what will happen?" Jieyue smiled lightly.

"Then I'll pick you up." Toru Amuro let go of her and rubbed her hair, "Let's go, the car is about to leave."

Jieyue nodded, and took the ticket to check in, but she couldn't help but look back, but this time, she froze in place.

Because Toru Amuro was still standing there, he just looked at her from a distance.

Suddenly, Jieyue felt that her tears were about to fall.

Jieyue wiped away her tears, turned her head away, and ran towards Xia Xi.

Xia Xi, you know, there was a moment when I thought, maybe just like the last time we separated, I would never see him again, he was going to a place far, far away, and I almost dared not leave... Jieyue smiled, and didn't say these words to Xia Xi to increase the girl's worry, she just thought about it in her heart.

Yes, people are always greedy. Once they get something, they don’t want to lose it again. This is probably why some people say “it’s better than never getting it”.

Even though it would be painful to lose, at least every second before was worth it, so she never regretted any decision she made, if he was going to go far away, no matter where he was, she would go to him.

Suddenly her cell phone vibrated, and Yuzuki looked down, and it turned out to be a text message from Toru Amuro.

"Don't cry, I'll find you when I'm done."

Yes, what are you crying for? If she cries, her Lord Zero still has to love her dearly.

In fact, it's not just her who feels this way, Toru Amuro also faintly sensed that after this time, he might not be able to accept being separated from this girl anymore, because the two of them have been tightly bound together for the rest of their lives.

No one can make them go against each other, this is the person he wants to protect with all his warmth for the rest of his life.

**

It was more than two hours after the Shinkansen train arrived in Nagano County. Xia Xi was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and Jieyue dragged her into the private car where her father came to pick her up.

"Go home quickly, your mother has prepared supper for you." Mr. Matsuda smiled, "By the way, I met Xiaoye a few days ago and told her about your coming back. Come to play with you."

Ah, Yuzuki suddenly realized that she really forgot to tell her old friend Asababa when she came back this time. This girl is two years younger than her, and she used to be a playmate in Nagano Prefecture. After going to Tokyo, she still hasn't cut off contact.

Xiaoye is now an illustrator, with excellent drawing skills and a lot of inspiration. She has drawn illustrations for every book of Jieyue. I signed two copies and sent some gifts to Xiaoye.

Xia Xi has a sweet mouth and is very fond of Jieyue's parents. After eating a sumptuous dinner that will definitely make her gain weight, the girl turned her eyes, stared at the big bed where they were about to sleep together and said, "Sister Jieyue, I Did you enjoy better treatment than brother-in-law, and want to share the same bed with you!"

Jieyue raised her forehead, how should she respond to this sentence, she can't say: Hey, you have a good idea, we two have already slept together, right?

In the early morning of the next day, Asaba came to visit. Yuzuki remembered that Xiaoye happened to provide tattoo designs for a long time for the Hirano tattoo shop she was going to visit, so she asked about the status of the shop: "How is Miss Li doing?"

"Don't mention it." Xiaoye curled her lips, "I just had an argument with her the day before yesterday because of the copyright of the pattern. Last night, Sister Li sent me a text message asking me to go to the tattoo shop. I thought she wanted to chat with me, but it turned out The store was locked, and no one answered the phone, so I was unreasonably let go, angry."

"Then let's go there again today. It just so happens that I have something to do with her." Jieyue said along the way. The manager of this tattoo shop is called Hirano Rei. Going to see her.

Jieyue introduced Xia Xi and Xiao Ye to each other. The three girls chatted very speculatively. After breakfast, they went to the tattoo shop together, but when they arrived, they found that there was a sign "Closed today" in front of the shop. Xiaoye felt very surprised: "It's past eight o'clock, sister Li should have arrived by this time, I'll make another call."

When Xiaoye muttered "Why no one answered", Jieyue pulled the anti-theft door, but found that the door was not locked. She suddenly felt an ominous premonition, so she turned her head and said to the two girls: "You wait for me at the door, I call you to come in and you go in again."

The shoes at the door are already in a mess, which is obviously not Rei Hirano's style. In Jieyue's impression, Rei Hirano is a very serious and careful lady who does things rigorously, and it is absolutely impossible to put things in a mess.

Going inside again, Jieyue saw a mess at a glance. More than half of the books in the storage compartment on the wall fell on the ground, and things were turned around in a mess, as if a thief had walked through the empty door. As for Hirano Rei ... She held her breath, trying not to let the scream escape her throat, and subconsciously took out her mobile phone.

The current time is [-]:[-], Hirano Rei fell into a pool of blood, the blood has long since dried up, apparently dead for a long time.

**

Jieyue called Xia Xi with her mobile phone: "Xia Xi, ask Xiao Ye to call the police, Miss Hirano Li has been killed."

If it was Jieyue in the past, she would definitely feel scared, but she has encountered this kind of case more than once recently, and she was almost in danger. Although Rei Hirano died tragically, she has seen a lot recently... She is not what she used to be.

And among the three girls, the older she was, the older she had to calm down.Intuition told Jieyue that when Xiaoye came to visit last night, it was probably around the time when the crime happened.

It's not that she doesn't trust the police officer, it's just that sometimes she ignores the truth of many things if she is not paying attention, and thus goes further and further on the opposite road.If the suspect is her, Toru Amuro will definitely prove her innocence, so now... let her prove Xiaoye's innocence!

The reasoning scene of a romance novelist——open!

Before the police arrived, Jieyue put aside the second-school thoughts in her mind and looked at the scene carefully.

The smell of incense lingers in the room, which smells like lavender. She knows Rei Hirano’s habit of liking incense, but most of the time, she doesn’t order lavender. I don’t know if it’s been many years. This sister’s Habits changed?

In addition, Rei Hirano's books will be placed in different categories. As an old friend, Rei Hirano will collect every book she collaborated with Xiaoye. Marriage Song".

In addition, Hirano Rei's right index finger showed a very strange curled state. Jieyue made a gesture and bent her index finger, but she still didn't quite know what the gesture was. I don't know if it was the death message left by Hirano Rei.

The corpse is going to be checked next, Jieyue took a deep breath, took out a handkerchief and walked forward.

**

Toru Amuro in Tokyo received a call from his girlfriend early in the morning. After saying good morning, he heard his lovely girlfriend ask softly: "Mr. , the acupressure is difficult to fade, the rigor is highly developed, and the time of death is about 12-15 hours?"

Amuro Toru's expression became serious in an instant: "Yes, but you... what's going on? Do you need my help?"

It seems that she remembers correctly, she remembers the things that her brother casually told her before very solidly.Jieyue sighed, she remembered all the things her brother told her, and the past she spent with everyone.

"Why are you talking to Jieyue about this? You want to train female police officers or female detectives?" When Date saw Jieyue who was shivering behind them, who was frightened by Science's expression of knowledge, he said to Matsuda This kind of behavior is very speechless.

"Maybe it will be used in the future. That's why I let her learn to fight. Don't be too short-sighted." Matsuda Jinping said, "We can protect her for a while, what if we are not by her side in the future?"

"Yes." Jiang Guling nodded, and then smiled at Jieyue: "But no matter where you are, I will try my best to get to you."

Matsuda Jinpei: "...Hey, I'm her brother."

Jieyue smiled, the memories are vivid, but now is not the time to think too much, so Hirano Rei was killed around 5:30-8:30 last night, the exact time of death should be judged according to the body temperature, next It's the police's business.

"Miss Hirano from the tattoo shop has been murdered, and the police have been called, but my friend may be suspected, so you don't have to worry too much about me." Jieyue said to Amuro Toru on the other end of the phone, "If I am confused, I will contact you again!"

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Toru Amuro, who was holding the mobile phone over there, twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly. This girl is so capable, she started to hang up on him. Doesn't it worry him if she doesn't explain things clearly?He glanced back at Shibuya Natsuko who had just entered elementary school. The detective's business card had already been handed over, but he didn't know when this important person would contact him to investigate and follow up the incident.

Since there is still some preparation time before the matter in hand, let him take care of the situation at the police station and drive to Nagano Prefecture... At the beginning, he promised Matsuda Jinpei that no matter where Yuzuki was, He will do his best to get to her.

**

The police came soon, and the leader was a beautiful and capable female police officer. She introduced herself: "I am Uehara from the First Search Section. Which one of you is the reporter and the first person who discovered the scene?" ?”

"I asked her to report the case, because I was afraid that they would destroy the scene if they were frightened, so I didn't let them enter the store so far. The first person who discovered the body was me." Jieyue pointed to Xiaoye, and said to herself Introduction: "My name is Matsuda Yuzuki, and I am a freelance writer living in Tokyo."

"Miss Matsuda." Uehara Yui carefully looked at Yuzuki, and walked into the room with her, "You seem very calm... May I ask what is your relationship with the deceased Miss Hirano?"

"Because my brother is also a police officer." Jieyue swallowed back the last sentence "Actually, so is her boyfriend", "My friend who Ms. Hirano knew a long time ago just returned to Nagano Prefecture last night, and has been in Home, came to visit to ask her some questions about tattoos."

The deceased died more than 10 hours ago, and the method of measuring rectal temperature is no longer applicable. The measurement result of liver temperature is similar to that estimated by Jieyue before. Rei Hirano was killed yesterday evening.

She remembered that her father mentioned after she came back yesterday that it rained in Nagano County in the evening. The murderer did not break the door lock to enter. Just put on a raincoat.

The deceased, Rei Hirano, female, lived alone, 38 years old, had no boyfriend, and was the manager of a tattoo shop. The shop was inherited by her mother, who inherited the shop after her mother passed away.

Rei Hirano's mobile phone shows that from the afternoon to the evening of the day of the murder, she had contact with three people, namely her half-brother Yuichi Imagawa, her father Kazuya Imagawa, and Asaba.

Different from the call between the previous two, Xiaoye received a text message to contact her to come over, and the latter was a missed call.

Asaba, 24 years old, Hirano Rei has a cooperative illustrator.

"Yes, I came because Sister Li sent me a text message. When I came, I found that the door was locked. I called and no one answered, so I left." Xiaoye said, "I didn't see Miss Hirano, but I once received a text message and on the way to the store after work, I met a lady who asked me to sign for her. At the time of the incident, I was at home alone last night.”

Jieyue frowned, Xiaoye didn't have an alibi.

Imagawa Yuichi, male, 28 years old, factory employee, and Hirano Rei's half brother.

"I called my sister and asked her about buying a car." Yuichi Imagawa said, "I haven't seen her either. My friend Kinoshita and I have been drinking together last night. Can he do it for me? Proof of presence."

Jieyue stroked her chin and watched the police officer go to contact Kinoshita in this population. If they had been drinking and Kinoshita fell asleep after drinking too much, would there be memory negligence and the alibi could not be fully established?

"In addition, I think my father is very suspicious. If you investigate, you will find that my sister has a large amount of insurance, and the beneficiary is my father." Yuichi Imakawa said, "The relationship between their father and daughter is just so-so, although I am his son, but it is true that my father abandoned my sister and her mother."

Kazuya Imagawa, male, 56 years old, was a criminal police officer who retired due to a leg injury. Rei Hirano's mother gave birth to this daughter when she was unmarried.

"That's the insurance my daughter bought. We have a very good relationship with our father and daughter. You unfilial son, cough cough cough..." Kazuya Imagawa glared at his son Yuichi and coughed, "My daughter called me last night and told me that today is a good day. Come to me, I haven't seen her recently, I'm watching TV at home, I still remember the content of last night's live broadcast."

"I think Miss Asagi is very suspicious. Miss Asaha once had a quarrel with my daughter Xiaoli, and it is said that Xiaoli robbed her boyfriend. It is not impossible to hold a grudge for this." He tapped on his crutches, suspicious road.

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense. You have to be responsible for what you say. I can ask a lawyer to resolve the copyright issue between me and Sister Li through the law. Why kill people? The motive for committing the crime is not enough!" Xiaoye retorted, "And it wasn't me Boyfriend, he’s just my classmate, it’s none of my business if they fell in love and broke up..."

"It's Mr. Jinchuan, I mean - Sister Li's younger brother, Sister Li mentioned to me that you asked her to borrow a large sum of money but she refused, and she was very dissatisfied." Xiaoye said sarcastically.

"Then my dad's program can still be recorded and reviewed." Imagawa Yuichi retorted.

"Recording? I don't have a camera. If you don't believe me, the police officer can go to my house to check!" Kazuya Imagawa angrily knocked on his cane.

It seems that all three people have motives, and the alibi of the deceased brother is more reliable. Yuzuki frowned and thought about these clues, but at this time Imakawa Yuichi's girlfriend, Ms. Fukuoka, was worried that her boyfriend came in a hurry.

"She is the girl who asked for my autograph yesterday, saying she is my loyal fan." Xiaoye pointed at Miss Fukuoka in amazement.

Loyal fan?Yuki narrowed her eyes.

"Fingerprints were extracted from the murder weapon. We need to collect your fingerprints for comparison." Yui Uehara said.

However, the final result of the comparison turned out to be that the fingerprints on the murder weapon were the same as Xiaoye's fingerprints!
