[Ninja] OLA Detective Agency

"What?" Shinozu and Atobe couldn't help but look at each other. Unexpectedly, this case, which seemed like a prank at first, has now turned into a murder case.

The man looked around and said in a low voice, "Let's get in the car and talk slowly."

After the car drove out of M Town, it drove on the bumpy mountain road for about an hour. During this time, Ninzu and Atobe also got a general understanding of the Feiying Village they were going to from the driver's mouth. details.

Feiying Village is a conservative village with sixty families living here for generations.In addition to the village head, the village manager also uses the residents' self-government association composed of the five most prestigious families in the village to manage some daily affairs in the village.

The driver who drove the car, that is, the man who came to the train station to meet Shinobu and Atobu was named Sakamoto Kazuyuki, a member of the village residents' self-government association, and also the teacher and principal of the village elementary school. Friends who grew up together.Sakamoto and Iwata are about the same age, and they both went to study outside the village. Naturally, they also have the same concept. They believe that with the development of the times, the village should not continue to be closed like this, and should seek more room for development.

However, the elders in the village, headed by Iwata Junichi's father and former village head Masamuni Iwata, are quite opposed to opening up the village and developing tourism.

When Sakamoto said this, he couldn't help sighing: "Moreover, it's not just the old village chiefs who are against it, but even the priest of the Hikage Shrine who has been worshiped by the villagers for generations is also firmly against it, which makes it even more difficult for Zhunichi."

"God master?" Atobe raised his eyebrows, "Who is the god master of the Scarlet Shadow Shrine?"

"Our village has been enshrining the water god Meiyadi since ancient times. The Mizuno family has worshiped the gods as gods for generations. The Meiyadi Festival is also held every year. This is the most lively festival in the village. Due to the relationship between serving the gods, the Mizuno family is in the village. The village is very respected, so although Mr. Hiroaki Mizuno is not a member of the villagers' self-government association, his opinions are more trusted by the villagers than those of us cadres!"

"So how old is this Mizuno Hiroaki?" Shinozu asked.

"Judging from his appearance and my memory, he is about 50 or [-] years old now. I'm sorry, I don't know much about this." Sakamoto scratched his head, "It stands to reason that at his age, he really shouldn't be so conservative. of."

"Indeed... But having said that, if this person has religious beliefs, it's understandable to be a bit conservative." Enduring his chin analysis, "Didn't Catholicism always firmly deny the theory of evolution and heliocentric theory before?"

"Ah, maybe it's exactly what Mr. Shinozu said." Sakamoto nodded and continued.

Due to different ideas, the village self-government association has been divided into two factions, the young faction and the conservative faction since Iwata Junichi succeeded the village head, and the two sides have been deadlocked.What broke this deadlock is this newly built dam.

Because of the construction of a nearby dam, many construction workers lived in the village at one time, which disturbed the tranquility of the village and brought a lot of tangible economic profits to the villagers. The villagers also gradually began to waver.Once the concept begins to change, Junichi Iwata's policy will be much easier to implement.

Originally, everything was developing in a positive direction, but at this moment, those strange things that Tezuka said unexpectedly happened.At that time, there was a lot of rumors in the village, saying that it was because outsiders came to the village that they caused so many troubles and angered the water god.

"We didn't want the police to intervene at the time, although it was impossible to hide it from the village police." Sakamoto said while driving, "But it's limited to this, because in recent days, Zhunyi has been working hard to develop the village. The tourism industry is still negotiating with people about resorts or the development of tourism projects such as scenic tourism and homestays. If these inexplicable things are investigated by the regular police, this matter will definitely be affected. I heard that Mr. Tezuka is reasoning Novelist, Zhunichi wanted to ask him to find a police officer from L City to investigate privately, but Tezuka-kun finally recommended two of them..."

"This Tezuka, hum..." Atobe obviously dismissed Tezuka's recommendation.

In fact, ever since he heard about the murder case, Atobe's complexion was not very good.The investigation of the Abyss Club has not found any clues, and I ran here with the mood of vacation, but encountered a more serious murder case. In this way, I was caught in two cases at once, so it is no wonder that the mood of Atobe is not good .

And I don't know if it's because of being used to being a teacher, Sakamoto's methodical but irritatingly slow narration also makes Atobe feel particularly uncomfortable.

Satiating his words and watching the situation, he was quite aware of Atobe's displeasure at the moment, so he hurriedly said: "This is also an understandable thought. However, since the murder has happened now, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to discuss business without telling the police, right?"

"Well, in fact, it is impossible for us to hide any more..." Sakamoto said, slowing down the speed of the car. "It happened just last night, and the victim was Tatsuo Takiyama, an investor who came to discuss investment with Zhunyi."

"The investor was killed?" Hearing the crux of the case, Atobe also came alive.

"Yes, Zhunyi and I can take you to the scene where the body was found later, maybe you two can find some clues. The village police are already guarding there. Ah, we are almost there." Sakamoto turned around steering wheel.The car went around the forest in front of them, and a quiet and peaceful small village was displayed in front of Shinozu and Atobe.

The houses in the entire village are the most traditional wood and stone buildings, and the yards are surrounded by sparse bamboo and wood fences, which are quite different from the cement brick buildings in the city.And what matches this architectural style is the sense of tranquility that the whole village presents, which really makes people feel relaxed all at once.

But Ren Zu couldn't relax at this time.The victim was Takiyama who came to invest, that is, an outsider who wanted to break this sense of tranquility.If the target of the criminal is the outsider, then not only will it be difficult for him to solve the case smoothly, but maybe even himself and Atobe will have to face a dangerous situation?
