Super power krypton gold [Comprehensive]

Chapter 8 Seven-eighths of icebergs are underwater

"As I said yesterday, I really don't know anything."

In the tidy and bright living room, Katsura Xingdao pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied in a calm tone as if he was reciting a text.

As shown in the household registration information, Xing Taosheng is the younger brother of the victim Xing Taocheng, and one of the important references in this case.Both parents of Xingdao and his wife have passed away, and apart from their only son, Ying, there are only close relatives left in this family within three generations.

Early the next morning, I came to Xing Tao's house together with Jeanne Alter and the Cave King to inquire.

Xing Daosheng seemed to have completely recovered his composure, and he was completely different from his hysterical panic yesterday.He politely let us into the house, led us into the living room, and even made tea for us graciously, and handed the Cave King a cigarette that I couldn't understand the brand but it must be very high-end.

No matter from which angle you look at it, he is a gentle and personable teacher of the people, without any weirdness or suspiciousness.

Of course, if the wicked can write the word "evil" on their faces, we can be laid off and go home to sell sweet potatoes.

"I'm sorry to bother you again, Mr. Xingdao. We are worried that there may be omissions in the investigation, no matter how small the details are, please think carefully..."

In order to facilitate the questioning, the King of the Caves would make himself a good young man who is gentle, courteous and thrifty every time.By the way, he politely declined the cigarette offered by the other party on the grounds that he "pays attention to health preservation".

"?????"

Because this persona was too different from his usual tough image, Joan involuntarily opened her mouth into an O shape.

I was afraid that she would write "Cave King, you are OOC" on her face, so I raised my elbow and touched her arm:

"This is a technical adjustment, don't panic."

(This is just an adjustment?! Isn’t this a different person!!)

Joan mouthed silent shock to me.

"..."

The Cave King turned a blind eye to this, and continued to insinuate politely and methodically:

"Mr. Xingdao, the city police at the scene yesterday seemed to ask 'where were you at the night of the incident', and you left angrily without answering. This is just a routine confirmation, and it does not mean that we have regarded you as a suspect, Could you please cooperate with our work?"

"……Ugh."

As if feeling tired from the bottom of his heart, Katsura Xingdao sighed deeply, "It seems that I can't hide it. I'm really sorry, I was excited yesterday and angered all the police officers... To be honest, I actually did it the night before yesterday. Individual one-on-one tutoring with a student in her class at her home."

"Ah, so it is."

I clapped my hands suddenly, "I remember, Yingchuan Middle School prohibits teachers from earning extra money for making up lessons for students, right?"

"I see. Would it be convenient for you to tell us the name of that student? We will conduct a simple verification with her, and we will definitely not disturb her."

Seeing that the other party's tone was loose, the Cave King immediately pressed the question while the iron was hot.

"It's...of course."

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Xing Taosheng's eyes, but he finally reported the student's name and home address to us, and added nervously:

"That child is timid and shy. She may say the wrong thing when she is nervous. Please don't push her too hard. Also, about my private tutoring for students..."

"This is not our business area, I will not disclose it to the school."

I simply promised.

"By the way, is your daughter Sakura at home? We also have a few words to ask her."

In view of the fact that Sakura used to track down her cousin's whereabouts alone when her parents and school kept secrets, we thought she was a capable girl with strong mobility, and she must be quite straightforward when questioned by the police.

However, the reality is quite different from our guess.

"I... I'm just like Dad, I don't know anything..."

This girl was slender, and her appearance could be called delicate and charming, but she seemed to be afraid of something, she was always afraid to look at others, and curled herself up on the sofa into a very small and weak ball.She has a puzzling habit when she speaks. She always likes to put her hands tremblingly around her mouth, as if she is exhaling to warm her hands, or as if she is afraid of being heard. Strands of unbroken hairsprings, I almost suspect that I have to wear a hearing aid to hear.

"Miss Xing Tao, don't be nervous, just speak slowly. We are not in a hurry."

In fact, her speech speed is too slow to be slow, but I can always show tolerance and patience twelve times the normal state when facing a shrinking girl.

"It's like this. Actually, I am Xiaoying's guardian. Do you know Xiaoying? He is your cousin's classmate. It is said that on the day of the incident—that is, Friday evening, you had an appointment with him on Saturday morning Meet at Sakuragawa Middle School to discuss the disappearance of your cousin."

When I said this, I deliberately lowered my voice so that Xing Daosheng, who was going to make refreshments, could not hear me.

When Sakura heard that I met Hotaru, she raised her head in surprise for a moment:

"Really? Miss Inspector, you...you really are..."

"It's guaranteed." I nodded, "Don't worry, Xiaoying didn't care about your missed appointment. So please tell me why you published a missing person notice in the newspaper? Yesterday morning, you originally wanted to find Xiaoying What are you discussing?"

"Sorry, I made Ying Junkong wait!"

Before I finished speaking, Sakura bowed her head in apology impatiently, almost choking on herself and coughing.

"I... was about to go out yesterday morning, and suddenly received a call from the police, saying that something happened to my uncle and aunt... Then my father asked me to stay at home, saying that he was afraid that I would be in danger, and locked the door. I was originally I want to go to Ying-kun, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

(...Will Xing Daosheng let her go out?)

I looked at each other silently with the Cave King and Joan of Arc, and my doubts suddenly increased.

"I found Xiaoying a week ago... I found out that my brother was missing."

Sakura buried her head lower, and continued in a voice as thin as a gnat: "At first, he only thought that he was having some trouble with his uncle and aunt, but uncle and the others seemed not worried at all, and said, 'This child is big-hearted. You should suffer a little and ignore him'. I felt that the situation was not right, and I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I asked someone to find the senior sister who worked in the newspaper office for help, and then asked his teacher and classmates..."

"Hey, what can happen to a child? Most likely they just run away from home to have fun. Whether it's love or Internet addiction, they are common problems during the rebellious period. I saw them a lot in school."

Xing Taosheng interrupted his daughter's speech, "Come here, three police officers. These are the snacks given to me by the students before. You can try it as you like."

"Oh, it looks good."

It was probably the first time that being called a "police officer" made her feel novel and useful, Joan happily raised the corners of her lips.

The refreshments from Katsuhata in Hoshishima are really rich. There are cherry cakes, straw cakes, chestnut steamed yokan, strawberry Daifuku, and a cute dessert dotted with pink flowers. The surface is pressed with a grid pattern. Sophisticated and elegant, it is pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Xingdao, don't think so. There are many things that can happen to children."

While I stretched out my hand to break open a strawberry Daifuku, I did not forget to publicize the law to ordinary citizens: "Leaving aside the issue of abuse, kidnapping, abducting and trafficking children, and violating young girls, don't they all target children? Therefore, we Adults must always be vigilant and protect their children..."

"Yes, yes, the officer is right."

Xingdao stretched his facial muscles stiffly, and echoed like an unresponsive student, "I will definitely take good care of Sakura."

"Not only Sakura, but also your nephew."

I reminded him meaningfully, "If it turns out that he has nothing to do with this case, I'm afraid this child will need more care from you. In any case, he is already an orphan."

"Yes, yes, that's natural..."

I don't know if it was my illusion, but when Xing Daosheng nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, I found an intangible smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

"There is less information than expected. Master, what should we do next? Do you want to find the student directly to confirm Xingdao's alibi?"

After leaving Xing Tao's house, the Cave King immediately resumed his usual chic and easy tone, and finally Joan of Arc no longer groaned endlessly because of the cold.

"Hold on."

I raised an arm to stop them, "I felt that Sakura was hesitant to speak, so I secretly put a note in her pocket with my email address on it...Look, there's an email here."

"So fast??"

Joan of Arc immediately approached with great interest, "It seems that she has a lot to say."

『Miss Police Officer:

I'm Sakura.

Sorry, some words are hard to say in front of Dad.

In fact, there is a reason why I searched for my younger brother alone behind my elders' backs.

Just before my younger brother disappeared, I heard that he had a dispute with his uncle. The reason seemed to be related to love...At that time, my father mentioned to my uncle that there was a "good place" to discipline my younger brother and make him obedient.Dad said that there are many mischievous and unprogressive students in Yingchuan Middle School. They were all sent here. After returning, they became different people, filial and sensible, and there was nothing wrong with them.

So I thought, would my younger brother be sent to this "good place" too?

I tried to ask my father, but my father was furious and told me not to eavesdrop on adults' speeches again.I had no choice but to sneak out of the boarding school and ask my brother's teachers and classmates about the situation.But other than Ying-kun, no one is willing to discuss with me, everyone seems to be avoiding something...

I'm really sorry for causing you trouble.

Miss Inspector, I've been thinking, will something happen to my brother?I believe that my uncle and aunt will not harm him, but since childhood, they have been strictly disciplined my younger brother. My younger brother has a hard life every day, and sometimes he will hide alone and cry secretly.If he cried in front of adults, his uncle would scold him loudly in front of his relatives and friends as "a trash" and "a man doesn't cry".

I've never heard of a younger brother rebelling against his parents' decision.If it's really love, he must like that girl very much.I can't help him, I can only tell Miss Police Officer everything I know, I hope you can find my brother and bring him back safe and sound.

Also, please be as careful as possible to ask the girl who makes up the tuition, so as not to frighten her.I think she should be as terrified as I am.

I'm a coward who didn't do anything, sorry.

Everything is up to you.

Hoshishima Sakura

……

"... Sigh. This girl is also apologizing all the time, exactly like her brother who writes self-criticism all day long."

The content of this email was more depressing and gloomy than I imagined. After reading it, I only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"As expected of a family. Teacher Xing Tao's education method is probably as questionable as the victim's couple."

"What's the deal with a 'good place' to reform a child?"

Joan of Arc seemed to be really interested in handling the case this time, and frowned seriously: "It's that... what is it called, by the way, does it mean 'educational institution'?"

"Probably."

I nodded slightly and gave her a wink of approval.

"In recent years, there have been many non-governmental educational institutions on the market under the banner of 'correction'. In fact, they use corporal punishment, confinement and other means to stimulate children's fear, so that they dare not resist the orders of adults. It’s almost like training a dog.”

"That's pretty nasty."

Joan curled her lips and expressed contempt and disgust with a sharp eye, "Although sometimes I want Lily to shut up, but beating a child is too bad, only a cold-blooded woman would do it kind of thing."

--Appeared! !

The second of the four natural enemies of Joan of Arc Alter, Joan of Arc Alter Lily and Altria Alter! ! !

By the way, the other two natural enemies are the original Joan of Arc and Shakespeare.I can eat lilies for every pair except Shakespeare.

Except for Shakespeare.

"However, I think this should not be an ordinary 'educational institution'."

I don't know if he noticed something, but the Cave King stood aside and pondered for a moment with a solemn expression, and opened his mouth in a timely manner to draw the key points.

"of course."

I answered without thinking, "Where is there any serious educational institution that can make children tear up their parents with their bare hands as soon as they get home? This is not teaching filial piety and obedience, it's about transforming into a magical girl."

"No, ordinary magical girls don't do this...forget it."

The Cave King resolutely gave up correcting my distorted worldview, took the phone from me while sighing, and read the email carefully from beginning to end again.

In this short period of tens of seconds, I noticed that his face darkened inexplicably, and clear lines like scars appeared between his brows.

"Well, did you find anything new?"

I tentatively asked cautiously.

"It can't be said that I found it... No, I'll confirm this later. It's nothing."

As the Cave King said so, the lines between his brows deepened.

"It doesn't matter if you don't, at least we have obtained important clues."

I thought he was worried about the slow progress of the investigation, so I raised my hand and patted his back to express my relief.

"Next, let's start the search with that legendary 'good place' as the target. We need to see people, and we need to see dead bodies. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find the missing boy. "
