I just want to be in love quickly and cheaply

Somewhat unexpectedly, Chitanda also came out together.

"We are also very tired now, and we just want to go back and rest for a while."

"In that case, I'll send you back."

"Auntie, is this appropriate?"

"There is nothing suitable or inappropriate. Houtaro has someone to take care of here. I'd better settle you down first."

Chitanda Eru looked at Kato Kato and said.

Naturally, Megumi and Eiriri would not object to Mr. Kato's decision, so the group got in Chitanda Eru's car and drove back.

It was probably because Chitanda Houtaro had an accident, so no one spoke along the way, and Kato Saku was seriously thinking about a problem.

Chitanda Eru, what does she want to do?

From the information he has obtained so far, it is almost possible to think that this woman is deliberately murdering her husband, but judging from the way the two got along before, it is completely impossible to detect the atmosphere that can make Chitanda Eru have the motive to kill.

Moreover, the woman seemed to be expecting something.

From me...?

Kato Sakuya, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, glanced at Chitanda Eru who was concentrating on driving on the right from the corner of his eye, and felt that something was about to come out.

No, the two are actually not that close.

He suddenly remembered something.

During the more than a day of coming here, I have eaten three meals at Chitanda's house, but I didn't see Chitanda Houtaro on the table for a single meal.

He clearly said that he hadn't eaten the meal made by Chitanda Eru for a long time, and he looked forward to it.

If you don't eat for one meal, it may be a temporary problem, and three meals in a row are more or less unreasonable.

What's more, Chitanda Houtaro doesn't seem to be very busy. Mr. Kato can tell that this person is not under the pressure of life with his own facial recognition skills. His face is natural and peaceful. , as happy as a three-year-old child just born.

Of course, with such a large family business, a lovely wife, and no noisy children, if two people love each other, they will be very happy indeed.

The car drove all the way, passed through the mountains, and returned to Chitanda's field. The rain was still falling, and the sky was still gloomy.

The car drove past the shrine and into the courtyard of Chitanda's house.

"I have to go back. For you guys, just play around and don't demolish this house."

The three of them got out of the car, but Chitanda Eru did not, but sat in the driver's seat and said.

"Well, auntie, I want to find some books to read, can I borrow your study room."

Kato Jue said suddenly.

"of course can."

Chitanda Eru gave him a deep look, then nodded.

"Katou, what happened here? Why does it seem like there is some agreement between you and Auntie Eru?"

Watching the car go away, Ying Lili asked.

"I have some guesses now, but this is too unbelievable. Anyway, I'll go to the study first, and you two can wander around."

Kato kaku frowned and replied.

Now Chitanda Eru's reaction can confirm one of his guesses, but after confirming, some things make him even more confused.

"At this time, let us help, Kato, what are you looking for? Can't you tell us?"

Ying Lili took a step forward and asked back.

"Yes, brother, if you want to go to the study to find something, it will be more convenient for the three of you, right?"

Kato Hui also raised objections on the side.

"Convenience? You guys, forget it, just follow me."

Kato Jue shook his head and walked out first.

It was still raining outside, and the huge Chitanda house seemed to be deserted. Kato Saku and the two girls walked in the corridor, feeling that the air was a bit cold.

"It's all coming."

Chitanda Eru's study seemed to be the same as usual, but as soon as Kato Kaku walked in, he saw a local chronicle placed on the desk.

How much do you look down on me?

He walked up to open the book and flipped through it quickly, and soon found what he wanted to find.

"Good guy, it's such a miraculous story, Auntie Eru, this is what you want me to see, you think I won't believe it? It's true, it's hard for ordinary people to believe this kind of thing, but I just saw it. "

He closed the book and whispered to himself softly.

"Conspiracy? Or so-called fate?"

"Find it so soon?"

"Brother, what exactly is it?"

"This is just some folklore."

Kato thought about it, and there is nothing to hide from people about this thing, because what is recorded in this local chronicle is pure folklore and local stories.

"Ah, this is Kato's hobby. Is there anything special about this?"

"Actually, it's similar to the ones in other places. It tells the stories of the gods offered by several shrines here. For example, the Arakusu Shrine is naturally Izanagi Ming and Izanami Mei. These two are the highest in Japanese mythology. God, it is said that the Japanese gods left by the combination of the brother and sister are the origin of all Japanese gods."

When he said this, Mr. Kato sighed, as if he didn't know what he was disappointed about.

"Among them, Izanami is the goddess of the filth of Huangquan, who is in charge of the kingdom of Huangquan after her death. Mizuna Shrine enshrines the mountain itself where the oak forest grows. As for this small shrine in front of Chitanda's house, What is enshrined is Jianye Zuoming, the god of weaving."

Someone said it easily.

338. Inference

"Is that all?"

"Yes, the rest are records of the legends and powers of the gods. If you two like to read them, you can read them yourself."

Kato Jue handed the local chronicle to the two casually.

He has already memorized the main content, so this book is basically useless to him.

However, so far, if one more thing is confirmed, Mr. Kato will face a very strange situation.

The god of Huangquan, the god of growth, the god of connection, wouldn't such nonsense happen?

These people, do they really know what they did?

"I'll go out for a while, you two don't wander around."

After he left a sentence, he had already fled out of the study.

This is Kato Kato's first visit to the shrine near Chitanda's house. This shrine is hidden in a farm house, and it feels a bit hidden in the city, but after entering, the overall environment is still very quiet.

The name of this shrine is Miyashui Shrine. After Kato Jue looked up, he walked in with great strides.

"Oh, oh, it's really rare to have guests here in this kind of weather."

Just a few steps after he walked in, he saw an old woman with gray hair walking slowly.

"I thought only the little girl from Chitanda's family would come here. Young man, come with me. Come inside and have a cup of hot tea. This weather is not very friendly for old people."

Kato Jue paused for a moment, then followed the old man into the house with big strides.

The old man's house was very simple, and there was a textile machine in the corner of the room. Considering the gods enshrined in this shrine, it was quite normal to have a textile machine.

Mr. Kato looked around, then sat down obediently, and waited for the old man to pour himself a cup of tea. He didn't think it was too hot, so he drank it all in one gulp.

"So, coming here in this weather, unusual young man, what do you want to ask?"

"Are you the gods of this shrine?"

"Ah, I've come to this place, and I still have to ask such a question. It's too distrustful of the Lord God. It's a sin, and the Lord God has a lot of people. I will forgive you."

As the old woman said, she took a red rope and tapped Kato Jue lightly on the back of his hand.

In this regard, a certain person just shook his head slightly. He and the old man in front of him obviously had many different views on the attitude towards the gods, but Kato Jue was not in the mood to correct it at this time.

"I heard that the gods of Miyamizu Shrine are enshrined in a special place, not in the shrine. Is this true?"

"They still know such news. Not many people in the village know about this kind of thing now."

"Aunt Chitanda Eru told me."

"Chitanda's little girl? It's not surprising what she said, but young people, if it's just to confirm this matter, it seems that there is no need to come here at this time, right?"

The old man poured half a cup of tea for Kato Jue again.

"I just wanted to confirm a few things."

Hearing this, the old man paused slightly.

"Some things cannot be copied, don't pursue those illusory things."

"But is this kind of thing really good?"

"At least that child, Eru, can accept it."

"No, I think she can't take it anymore, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."

"That's it, no wonder..."

The old man seemed to realize something, looked at Kato Jue for a while, and then murmured.

"Indeed, being able to appear here proves that you have already guessed about many things, and now you just want to confirm them, but this is something that goes against common sense, can you understand?"

"of course."

Kato shrugged.

When someone left Miyamizu Shrine, he saw someone standing at the door.

Chitanda Eru, she didn't really leave.

The rain wet the woman's clothes and hair, but it didn't make her look embarrassed.

"It seems, Kato-kun, you have learned a lot."

Chitanda Eru said quietly.

"I'm honestly amazed, even with the last piece of the puzzle, I'm still amazed by it."

Kato shrugged.

"Can you tell me how you deduced it?"

"Actually, at the beginning, I really didn't see anything. I had some small doubts, such as why my aunt didn't eat at the same table with Mr. Houtaro, and why Mr. Houtaro looked idle most of the time. , but these are all explainable, Auntie can be said to be very successful, which is simply amazing, and even doubts modern science."

Kato Jue praised sincerely.

Normally, he should be able to see this kind of thing at a glance, but he was not sure until just now after sorting out most of the information, so this is indeed something worthy of praise.

"But when I was on the mountain, I discovered something. The villa on the mountain was used by someone, even the day before we went there, but my aunt said it had been abandoned for several years."

"To be honest, I was very worried at the time. After all, there are two other people who came with me. If it is true that Chitanda's family has some shady secret hidden in the villa, we will definitely encounter a lot of trouble if we find out, but After I came back, there was a hint in my aunt’s words, which made me have a new idea. Could it be that my aunt’s family was under some kind of coercion, so when we plan to go to the mountain, I hope that through this way we can discover something Some secrets. However, it seems unreliable to pin our hopes on children, so I just want to observe the situation first. Until this afternoon, when the three of us and Mr. Houtaro came to Kamiyama City for a tour, I Found something else."

Kato Jue recalled what he saw and heard in the past two days, sorted it out and said it one by one:

"One of the doubts is that Miko Jumonji Kaho is a classmate of Mr. Houtaro. When we first met, I thought she and Mr. Houtaro were rivals, but when Mr. Houtaro fell down, she showed great concern. It doesn't look like a deadly enemy at all."

"It's not a mortal enemy, but it prevents the other party from entering the shrine. I can only think that something in the shrine will be detrimental to Mr. Houtaro. For example, he has a severe allergy to cedar tree pollen, but if there is such a disease , It is impossible for the person concerned not to know, and he probably did not even wear a mask, and then let a maiden come to stop it, I think, Auntie Eru called you to inform this Shimonji Jiabao."

"Well said, go on."

Chitanda Eru said with a blank face.

339. Decision

"All in all, Auntie Eru asked Mr. Houtaro to take us to visit Kamiyama City even though she knew there was an accident in or near the Arakusu Shrine. To be honest, I began to wonder if this was a deliberate murder. .”

"continue."
