Kazuma was about to answer when Nichinan rubbed her eyes and appeared in the dining room. She said to Chiyoko in a daze, "Xiaoqian, I'm getting up late and I'm going to be late. Give me the bread and let me eat it..."
And the horse coughed.
Nichinan smiled and leaned towards Kazuma and said, "I see, good morning kiss..."
Kazuma interrupted her: "Oshiba Mieko jumped off the building yesterday and died."
Nichinan froze immediately.
When He Ma got the news last night and rushed to the scene, Nichinan had already fallen asleep, so he didn't wake her up.
Nichinan: "Death is..."
"I jumped off my balcony, and I was out of breath when I landed." Kazuma looked at Nichinan and said in a deep voice.
Nichinan staggered two steps and leaned close to the refrigerator: "How could it be? This Hinata company, hasn't it never killed anyone? How could someone die suddenly?"
Kazuma: "Oshiba Mieko is likely to be classified as a suicide. I was at the scene yesterday, but I didn't see any clues that could prove that she killed her. Of course, neither I nor the criminal police of the local police station who investigated the scene felt that this was not true. Possibly a suicide, but there is no hard evidence."
Nichinan: "Can't you sue without hard evidence?"
"Yes, if you want to prosecute, you must at least determine who is the target of the prosecution, right? In other words, you must at least find the suspect before you can consider prosecuting. But in the case of Mieko Oshiba, there is no evidence pointing to the suspect at all. "
"But it's impossible for her to commit suicide?" Nichinan asked.
and horse nod.
Then Kazuma saw an expression on Nichinan's face that seemed to manifest fear.
"Then will I suddenly jump off the building too? If the prisoner can kill Dachai like this, he can kill me! Will I..."
Yuzao came to Nichinan's side at some point, held her shoulders, and forcibly helped her stop the trembling of her body.
"It doesn't matter. Although the mystery has weakened and the effect of my talisman has weakened, the enemy's spells have also weakened, so the talisman should still be effective."
Nichinan looked at Yuzao in a daze: "What talisman?"
He Ma: "Didn't she give each of us an Oshou? It should have been given for several years."
Yuzao nodded: "Yeah."
Nichinan patted his forehead: "I don't know where to throw it!"
"It's okay, I'll give you another one. You can take sick leave today. With the talisman tomorrow, you don't have to worry about being caught by an evil spirit and jumping off the building. I will find a way to investigate who is in this age of mysterious decline. Still using mysterious means to kill people."
He Ma: "Are you going to ask someone to borrow a feng shui master to borrow a compass and then go to the scene to investigate?"
Tamamo smiled slightly: "Of course not. I will ask the youkai who are hiding in Tokyo and live like humans to see if anyone has been struggling recently, or their lives have suddenly become richer."
He Ma was speechless: "Start from this aspect..."
"By the way, let's confirm how many of those old friends are still alive." Yuzao added.
Then there was a sudden silence, because everyone didn't know how to answer this sentence.
It was Amao who broke the ice: "Let's put aside the mysterious side for now, and leave the investigation of the murder to Master. With Master's talent in criminal investigation, he might be able to find some evidence. And you, Nichinan, would you like to hire me?" Sue Hinata Company?"
Nichinan froze for a moment: "Hire you?"
"Yeah, I'm already a certified lawyer. I read the court defense records of Hyuga's past cases yesterday, and I think I can overcome the sophistry of my seniors."
Nichinan folded his arms across his chest, wondering if he was trying to suppress his trembling.
Finally, she glanced at He Ma, and then said: "To be honest, I... want to turn around and run away, after all, someone has died. I am different from everyone in this dojo. I have never experienced such a life-threatening situation before. …”
Chiyoko: "I didn't either—I was tied up once, but that time I fell asleep the whole time, although I was jolted, submerged in water, and given artificial respiration by my brother, but I personally didn't know it at all. "
He Ma: "Don't interrupt when people say something serious."
"Who do you think I learned this from?" Chiyoko rolled her eyes, shut her mouth and did not speak.
And Nichinan smoothly picked up the flower head interrupted by Chiyoko: "I have never experienced those life-threatening states, although I have experienced things together, but before I figured out what happened, the matter was over.
"Use the current popular communication running group as an example. Master, your character cards are all amazing characters who have experienced various legendary events, and I am just a villager A."
He Ma: "Village A doesn't have such a good-looking character Li Hui."
Chiyoko: "Don't interrupt when others are talking about business."
Kazuma and Chiyoko stared at each other.
Nichinan continued: "Although I am more beautiful, but you see, there are too many good-looking people in our place. We are a girl here with big breasts, thin waist and long legs."
Qingliu opened the restaurant door as if she was stuck on purpose.
Nichinan: "Eh... In short, I have always been a passer-by character mixed in with a group of legendary characters. To be honest, this time, I dealt with it like a passer-by, hiding and retreating into my nest Here, no longer provoke terrible enemies. After all, I am afraid of death, and there are still many funs in my life that I haven’t experienced.”
Kazuma nodded slightly, and was about to say "run away if you want, we won't laugh at you", when Nichinan took a deep breath.
"But," Nichinan looked at Kazuma, "if I choose to escape, then I will be in two worlds with you forever."
He Ma: "It's not shameful to escape, no one will laugh at you, and no one will treat you as an outsider."
"But that won't work." Rinan Licai said seemingly firmly, "I can't always look at you enviously from a distance, I have to join you and become a part of you."
Kazuma nodded silently. At this time, he noticed that Tamamo was secretly winking at him, as if asking "has her soul changed?"
Hema confirmed the top of Nichinan's head, and there was no entry.
Nichinan may indeed have made up his mind, but this determination does not contain enough gold.
So He Ma shook his head slightly.
Tamamo was speechless.
And Nichinan continued to express his thoughts: "Master always likes to say that the hymn of human beings is the hymn of courage, so this time I will be brave too.
"Besides, although my relationship with Mieko Oshiba is not very good, when I first joined the company, she was responsible for guiding me. On the first day I joined the company, she made me a cup of coffee. Just for this kindness , I should also continue to pursue it.
"There are not many things I can do. After thinking about it, the only thing I can do is continue to pursue Hinata! So, please let me hire you, Mr. Ikeda!"
Amao nodded: "Okay. Then I will go back and prepare the prosecution documents now."
After finishing speaking, he wolfed down the things on the plate in front of him, and stood up abruptly.
Qingliu was standing at the table drinking barley tea halfway up her waist, but was startled by him suddenly jumping up and spilled a few drops of barley tea.
Nichinan: "Wait, are you leaving now? Don't you need to ask me about the situation at that time?"
Amao: "I will go to the police station to call your statement records. By the way, in order for me to call these documents smoothly, we have to sign a formal contract. Do you have a seal?"
Nichinan nodded: "Of course I brought it, and put it on the second floor."
Seals are very important in Japan. The first thing everyone has to do as an adult is to register their seals with government agencies such as district offices.
This seal registration will be bound to the payment record of the national pension, which is regarded as part of the Japanese identity certificate.
In Japanese society, it is difficult to move forward without this seal, and it is impossible to sign any contract that requires a signature. Yes, Japan does not recognize signatures.
Amao nodded: "Okay, then I will try to get the contract out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will use it for you to stamp."
Nichinan nodded, and then said cautiously: "Well, can we make an exception for the fees? The money I saved when I was a graphic model was almost used in college. I really don't have much money left."
Amao waved his hand: "This is the first case I have opened. I will count it as a big reward for your opening. I will help you for free."
Chiyoko: "Wait a minute! How can it be free? Wouldn't it be over if you let her pay on credit? It's free, what if she gets it wrong?"
He Ma patted his younger sister's hand: "You, you have a bit of a pattern. If you jump out and behave like this at this time, it will give people a narrow-minded impression, and it will drop your evaluation points."
Tamamo: "That's right, you will lose your evaluation points. You can't do this, Chiyoko, when I have time, I will teach you a few tricks, how to play the cute Yamato Nadeko."
Chiyoko: "I don't want to be Yamato Nadeko, and Momo already knew my nature. Momo, are you right?"
He Ma: "The others have already run away."
Chiyoko stared at the empty dinner plate left by Ah Mao, stomped her feet vigorously, and then came to clean up the dishes with a helpless expression.
He Ma finished drinking the milk in his glass and stood up: "I also set off. Although I couldn't find strong evidence of the murder yesterday, there is something very interesting. I want to investigate."
Nichinan: "Generally speaking like this indicates that we will find a breakthrough from here!"
"Don't make trouble," He Ma waved his hands, "Reality is not a criminal investigation drama."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the coat that had been placed on the back of the chair, and went to the door: "Recently, you should pay attention to safety. Qingliu will be Chiyoko's bodyguard, and go to school with her. After school, you will go to the music university class .”
Qingliu gave a thumbs up: "Understood."
The curriculum of Yinda University is not as intensive as that of ordinary full-time universities, and the six students have more time for "self-practice".
After all, many students of the Music University are also active in places such as theater troupes and bands. Not giving more free time is not conducive to the personal development of students.
Of course, there are bel cantos like Qingliu, but extracurricular activities are a different kind of singing rock.
Chiyoko sighed: "Oh, actually, I originally thought that after Ah Mao finished the exam, I would ask Ah Mao to protect me in such a situation, but as soon as he finished the exam, he rushed to work."
Qingliu: "Japanese men should dedicate their lives to work, right?"
Kazuma thought that those were Japanese men in the Showa era. When Japan entered the Heisei era and was limped by the West, when it started to promote happiness education, it would shape a whole generation of Heisei waste.
While thinking with Ma, he put aside the girls' chat and went to the entrance to put on his leather shoes.
Yuzao followed and helped Hema tidy up his clothes.
"Be careful on the road."
He Ma: "I'm leaving."
**
He and Ma picked up Asano at the old place, and then went straight to the motor vehicle test center.
Yasufumi Yoshikawa agreed very happily: "Want to check the license plate number? This is a small idea, bring it. By the way, my transfer order..."
"It was submitted yesterday, and it should be going through the process now."
"That's it, that's great. I'll take care of you in the future." Then Yoshikawa Yasufumi turned his attention to the post-it note Kazuma handed him, and read out the license plate number suicidally, "Shinagawa ****? Tokyo Metropolitan As for the license plate, we can directly use the computer to check it. It is very convenient.”
He Ma: "Computer?"
"Yeah, I don't know if the Ministry of Communications or the Ministry of Justice got a lot of money to buy machines from that international company in the United States..."
"International Business Machines? IBM?"
"That's right, that's it. Anyway, I bought a large set of equipment, and as long as I input the license plate, the corresponding information will be displayed immediately. I am very familiar with the Fujii who operates the machine, and we bought betting tickets together. Let's go, I lead you there."
Yoshikawa Yasufumi stood up excitedly and walked out of the office.
He and the horse hurried to keep up.
The "Information Department" is right next to it, and as soon as Hema entered the office, he saw the huge computer.
There is also a monitor with a big head, because the refresh rate is not high, the screen of the monitor gives people a feeling of constantly flickering.
Talk to the horse.
Yoshikawa Yasufumi smiled and said, "Isn't it shocking to see high technology for the first time?"
He Ma: "No, I was shocked by the sense of the times of this thing."
Among other things, when I came back from crossing with the horse, I haven't even seen this kind of big head monitor for a long time.
At this time, the young man who was busy in front of the computer raised his head: "Hey, Yoshikawa-san? Why are you here? I said that this thing cannot predict the result of a horse race."
Together with Ma and Asano, they turned to look at Yoshikawa: "Have you ever done such a thing?"
Yoshikawa Yasufumi looked embarrassed: "I'm not, I believe in the power of science. Horse racing is something like this, there should be probability learning..."
The young man pushed his glasses: "Texas hold'em, bridge and so on, there are probability studies. As long as mathematicians play enough hands, they may be able to make ends meet and earn a little less. But things like horse racing , the impact of mathematics is very small, it mainly depends on the state and performance of the horse, as well as the operation results of the pole.
"By the way, don't buy betting tickets recently, the police department's inspection department just arrested a group of people."
Yoshikawa Yasufumi: "Okay, that's the end of this topic. I came to you today because I have a business. Come, check this license plate."
The technician glanced at the license plate, and immediately started typing on the keyboard, and said while typing: "Let me tell you, this system has only entered half of the entries. After all, if there is no entry in the newly introduced system, the computer will not be entered." It just says that there is no data."
As he spoke, he pressed Enter.
The huge computer made a rattling sound, and suddenly, the screen began to change, and the lines were gradually replaced with new screens.
It is a data interface composed of characters.
The above clearly shows the information of the license plate holder.
Haruka Honda, Director of the Inspection Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Kazuma and Asano exchanged glances.
