Bandage fine tricks

The next person to ask is yourself.

Looking at the two plush animal ears on the top of his head in the mirror by the door, which were almost torn into airplane ears, Xiao Ba felt cold sweat dripping down his back.

Calm down, there should be a way, such as changing back to a cat look and pretending not to hang around... No, there are murders in the homestay, and people are not around at this time, isn't the suspicion even more serious!

In the room where no one else could see, Xiao Ba was holding his head in a frenzy, wanting to ball himself up and pretend that he was not in this world.

But, why did someone die suddenly... She frowned and thought, if she really died nearby, according to the attractiveness of Maoyou's physique...

Shouldn't he come to her?

But she hasn't encountered any ghosts from yesterday to today?

If you think about it in this way... By the way, she remembers that the terrain near this homestay is built on the hills. Could it be that...

"Thank you for your cooperation." Police officer Yamaguchi who was in charge of asking the statement said, in this way, only the statements of the guests in the next room and the opposite room were left.

To be honest, the murder happened in the hot spring room on the other side. If it was really done by the guests in the two rooms here, they would have to cross the entire hotel to reach the scene of the crime, and no matter which way they took The line must be discovered by Mrs. Pingdao, the proprietress who is sitting at the front desk but can observe the situation in the courtyard through the surveillance, and there will be corresponding records in the surveillance.

So the suspicion of these two guests is not very serious, but in view of the process, they have to ask all the guests in the entire hotel.

Fortunately, it is now the off-season of tourism, and the price of this homestay is not low, and there are not many guests in the whole homestay, which indirectly reduces their workload.

"What is the situation of the guests in the remaining two guest rooms, can I trouble Madam Hirashima to introduce you?" Officer Yamaguchi asked.

"Mr. Dazai in the room opposite checked in at midnight last night. He went out this morning and hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Hirashima explained, "Miss Zhen Ji stayed in the room next to her. She hung up in the morning The Do Not Disturb sign should still be in the room."

"If you want to ask about her situation, you'd better wait until Mr. Dazai comes back." said the guest who was asked about her statement just now.

Officer Yamaguchi was stunned: "Why did Mr. Henggou say that?"

"When the police interrogate minors, they should be accompanied by their guardians. The young lady looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is likely to be underage. If you don't want to get into trouble, wait for that Let’s talk about Mr. Dazai when you come back.” Mr. Yokomizo said, “Although I only met Mr. Dazai last night, I can be sure that he is a difficult character, and you will not want to confront him. "

——At first glance, he seems to be a gentle and gentle young man, but if you look closely, you will find that he is just gentle and gentle.

"Huh? That Mr. Dazai is Miss Zhenji's guardian?" Mrs. Hirashima showed a surprised expression, all she knew was that Mr. Dazai seemed to know Miss Zhenji.

"Even if it's not, it should be a character like a friend who met her guardian." Mr. Henggou said.

Officer Yamaguchi thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, since you said that, Mr. Henggou..."

Mr. Henggou breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

He understands the situation here. If the quality of the police officers in the center of Tokyo is high enough, the grassroots police officers here will often not fully follow the rules when investigating and asking for statements, especially those like this. When this kind of questioning is just about minors who are not highly suspected, in most cases, they will ask directly.

However, an underage child who was left alone in the room suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, opened the door and found that it was the police coming, even if it was just asking, it was enough to make a child who was not deeply involved in the world feel scared.

——It’s better to wait for Mr. Dazai to come back.

When a homicide case occurs in a B&B, the most stressful thing is the police and the proprietress of the B&B. They are eager to solve the case as soon as possible. At this time, as soon as they can, they can listen to his suggestion and wait for someone (although it is only according to the formal process). is the right choice), this "thank you" still needs to be said.

After waiting for a while, a young man in a windbreaker with many bandages on his exposed skin walked briskly along the wooden corridor. He was holding a paper bag with the logo of a certain women's clothing brand on it, indicating that Where has he been for the past hour or so.

Osamu Dazai's eyes fell on the young man in police uniform. He had just seen a police car at the entrance of the hotel, so he was not surprised to see a police officer in the hotel: "The proprietress is in such a hurry to give Is there something wrong with my call?"

he asked with a smile.

Officer Yamaguchi hurriedly opened his mouth to explain the situation, and finally said: "...The above, so please explain where you were and what you did from ten o'clock last night to eight o'clock this morning."

"Last night around ten o'clock was the time I just checked in," Osamu Dazai recalled, and said, "This morning, I went out at about six o'clock and came to see the child—ah, it's Miss Zhenji—— In the situation here, after helping her bring the breakfast Mrs. Hirashima brought to her room, she went out to go shopping, Mrs. Hirashima should be able to prove it for me, right?"

Mrs. Hirashima nodded, indicating that he was right.

"Then I didn't come back until just now, and I was not in the homestay at all during this time."

Officer Yamaguchi jotted down Mr. Dazai's testimony in shorthand, and asked, "What about last night?"

"Basically, I'm doing activities in this yard. Because the child ran out to live in a homestay by herself without telling the family at all. I was a little worried, so I asked her for the address and came to have a look. After I got here, I saw the condition of her room and thought it was okay. Then I went back to the room I stayed in—I came out for a while after that, but it was only in this courtyard, and I never left the courtyard.”

After asking some more detailed questions, Police Officer Yamaguchi ended the questioning before making the final request: he still needs to ask Miss Zhen Ji.

"Well, let me go in and ask her first, the child will be very uncomfortable in front of strangers-speaking of which, I really thank you for waiting for me to come back and not knocking on the door rashly, otherwise the child will probably hide in the room. Speak up." Osamu Dazai said with a smile, "Don't look at her baring her teeth and claws like a little wild cat in front of me. In front of people she doesn't know, that child doesn't like to talk very much. That's why she suddenly ran out to live in a homestay. Because I'm worried."

So that's the case... Officer Yamaguchi nodded in understanding.

Mr. Yokomizo remembered the scene he saw last night, and fell into thinking about what Mr. Dazai said: ...I can't see anything introverted about that child at all.

Is it because of being in front of people you know?

"Then, I'll go in first." Osamu Dazai said as he opened the door and walked in, not forgetting to close the door.

As soon as the door was closed, he saw the girl with different pupils staring at him puffed up.

Mr. Dazai, what kind of social horror persona did you set for me! ——Xiao Ba spoke silently, expressing his protest with mouth movements.

There is no way, the sound insulation effect of the paper-pasted wooden sliding door is really not very trustworthy, at least Xiao Ba has heard all the conversations from those people in front of the door of the next room to here clearly.

Although not everyone has her kind of hearing, you have to be on guard, right?

The black-haired, kite-eyed young man frowned with a smile: "The new clothes I bought for you, do you want to change into them and go out to meet that police officer?"

Xiao Ba shook her head, even if Mr. Dazai bought her clothes that could cover her ears, she didn't really want to go out: she just checked into a B&B and was murdered, which would make her suspect that she was murdered by some elementary school student The halo of the god of death is infected... ah...

"What's wrong?" Osamu Dazai keenly noticed the change in Xiao Hachi's mood.

Xiao Ba silently took the packing bag Osamu Dazai bought, and went into the inner bedroom to change clothes: "... Forget it, Mr. Dazai, please invite them in, although I don't think a confession is needed."

"Hey? Why?" Osamu Dazai was taken aback.

"That person committed suicide. If you look at the tree near the mountain where the open-air hot spring in the room he stayed in, you can find a clue."

Almost at the same time as Xiaoba said this, police officer Yamaguchi shouted in surprise outside the door: "What!? There is no need to investigate? Suicide?"

"Yes, a high school student detective deduced the truth," said another person who seemed to have just come to inform the Yamaguchi police officer, "and at the place where the murder occurred, clues and evidence were also found that the deceased pretended to be a homicide. This has been confirmed."

The implication is that there is no need to record further statements.

These words made Dazai Osamu and Xiaoba silent at the same time. After a second or two, the girl with different pupils poked her head out from the inside, and said in a complicated tone: "Although it feels incredible, there is still more to this familiar development trend." A familiar routine...Mr. Dazai, please help me to ask Mrs. Hirashima if there is a person named Kudo staying in this B&B."
