I'm Not a Detective

The next morning, at the town station.

Qingjian Liuli said an affectionate farewell to her mother on the platform: "Mom, I can take care of myself now. You don't have to worry about me anymore. Go in peace!"

Qingmi Xiangzi was indeed relieved. Her daughter had made great progress and was still gaining weight. She had no problem staying at home alone. Then she could really rest assured to take care of and supervise her husband. She could use this time to pay more attention to her little daughter and shovel the bear more. The eldest daughter said this to her several times...

At first glance, she thought she was coming back to visit relatives during the Bon Festival and was about to ride an eggplant back to the Paradise of Paradise when her daughter was praying.

She is only thirty-four or not thirty-five this year. She is still young. She feels that she can last for another eighty years. She doesn’t want to die for a moment!

She stretched out her hand and gave her daughter a headache, punishing her for not being able to say goodbye. She hugged her lovingly, smoothed the broken hair on her forehead, and seriously warned her: "Get along well with Qi Yuan-kun, don't talk to her." He fights.”

——Nanahara Takeshi is a good kid, with a good personality and a sense of responsibility. Don’t beat him away. If you, an idiot, fall into your hands, I’ll have a headache.

Qingjian Liuli didn't hear the subtext at all, but just covered his head and said unhappy: "It's no wonder, if I wanted to fight with him, I would have beaten him to pieces."

"Just remember. Mom is gone. I'll find time to come back to see you next time." The tram pulled into the station and Qingmi Xiangzi was about to get on the train.

Qingjian Liuli was a little bit reluctant to give up. Last night Qingjian Xiangzi kept praising her. The two even bathed and slept together. The mother-daughter relationship was directly +200, but she died as soon as her head touched the pillow. They couldn't talk at night. It's a bit regretful to think about it now, but...

Mom, you can’t do surprise inspections too often!

She quickly shouted to the tram: "Mom, please come back after dad recovers from his injury. If you can't spare time, you don't have to smoke. It doesn't matter if you don't come back to see me."

Qingmi Xiangzi stared at her speechlessly through the car window, and was slowly pulled away by the tram.

"Ah, so dangerous!"

Qing Jian Liuli looked at the morning tram going away and wiped the non-existent cold sweat on her forehead. She felt that she had finally passed this test - her mother did not realize that she had been meddling in the case, nor did she realize that she had been involved. Fortunately, the hospital did not discover that Takeshi Nanabahara was blind.

Fortunately, she only stayed for one night. If she had stayed for two more days, it would have been all over!

Mom, please, come back in five months!

She walked home relaxedly and started to do morning exercises. When her stomach growled, she ran to Takeshi Nanabahara, looked at the notes on the refrigerator, put on an apron and started preparing breakfast.

Takeshi Nanahara got up quickly. After washing, he came down to look at her and expressed some opinions on the breakfast preparation. Qingjian Liuli didn't care, and said while busy: "By the way, my mother was here before, and I didn't have time to tell you. Senior Naokawa wants you to see Xiaokui again. Let's go there after school this afternoon, right?"

Takeshi Nanahara leaned against the door frame and said absently: "Xiao Kui?"

"Yes, she seems reluctant to part with her pile of rubbish... well, sundries, and refuses to exchange for shogi." Qingmi Ruri said directly, "Naokawa-senpai thinks she might listen to you."

Qin Yuanwu thought about it and had no objection: "It's a small matter, so I'll go there in the afternoon."

Qing Jian Liuli was relieved and carefully poured the egg juice into the pan to make the omelette. Then he asked curiously: "Xiao Kui is also a genius, haven't you considered teaching her yourself?"

She thinks Naokawa Aoi is nice, silly, and seems to be easier to deal with than that brat like Kakumaru Yuki. She will definitely be willing to be held by her hand every day, and if Takeshi Shichihara has two apprentices, then she will have two nephews. , maybe get double respect.

Unfortunately, Takeshi Nanabahara didn't mean that and said directly: "Let's forget it. Although it's not impossible for me to teach her, I'm not ready to develop in the direction of chess competition, and I don't know much about the latest research results in the shogi world. I'll let her find her way. A professional teacher would be better.”

There was nothing I could do about it. Qingjian Liuli felt a little pity, but I couldn't say that I was disappointed. He turned around and talked about what happened last night. He was very excited. He felt that he was very happy with his mother, and he was also happy with Takeshi Nanabahara. Life is very good.

…………

After the three of them had breakfast - Yuki Kakumaru was also there, but the children were relatively sleep-deprived, so neither Takeshi Nanahara nor Ruri Kiyomi called her, so she slept until breakfast was ready before getting up.

After the three of them had breakfast, Takeshi Nanahara continued to recuperate at home and skipped school legally. Ruri Qingmi and Yuki Kakumaru rushed to school. When school was over in the afternoon, Ruri Qingmi went home immediately and took Takeshi Nanahara with him on his bicycle. Go find Naokawa Yoshino.

Naokawa Yoshino is running a stall, but there is not a single customer in front of the food truck. She is concentrating on reading a book, while Naokawa Aoi is squatting next to her and playing with "garbage" - at least that's how it seems to outsiders.

"Naokawa-senpai, we are here." Qingmi Ruri stopped the car, asked Nanawara Takeshi to get out, and greeted Naokawa Yoshino warmly.

"Nanahara-san, Qingmi-senpai, it's great that you can come." Naokawa Yoshino stood up in surprise, and Naokawa Aoi also raised her head and looked at Takeshi Nanawara blankly.

Takeshi Nanahara carefully looked at Naokawa Yoshino's expression through his sunglasses and confirmed that she had no intention of stabbing her. He smiled and said politely: "Naokawa-senpai, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Nanawara."

Naokawa Yoshino covered her mouth and smiled shyly, but Takeshi Nanahara didn't be polite to her and went straight to business and went to find Naokawa Aoi, squatting opposite her and talking to her in a low voice.

Naokawa Yoshino and Qingmi Ruri didn't dare to disturb them, and consciously moved to the side. Qingmi Ruri looked at the recipe in Naokawa Yoshino's hand, then at the food truck, and cautiously said, "Naokawa-senpai, you..." No more school?”

She originally thought she would wait a while when she came, but Naokawa Yoshino came early. It seemed that she was not working after school, which was different from what she guessed yesterday.

Naokawa Yoshino looked at his dumb sister, smiled and said: "Yes, I won't go."

Theoretically, she can continue to finish her sophomore year of high school. After all, the tuition and other fees have been paid, but after all, her mother has gone to jail, and her aunt can no longer support her to study, let alone support Naokawa Aoi to learn chess and even eat. She may not care about them anymore, so she can only start to think of ways to make money, take good care of her sister, and strive to give her a good future.

Qingjian Ruri can probably guess it, but she has no good solution. She is a 16-year-old high school JK, and there is nothing she can do about this kind of thing.

She quickly changed the topic, looked at the food truck and asked curiously: "What is the senior sister selling? Is the business good?"

"We are selling fast food and bento boxes." Naokawa Yoshino has never done business before. He was a little embarrassed when asked, and wiped his hands and said, "I thought about finding a job, but the economy is in recession now, and it is not easy to find a job. It just happened that My aunt gave me a food truck and was willing to keep my name on it, so I just wanted to try to start a small business. At the beginning, there aren’t many customers yet.”

While talking, Naokawa Yoshino also showed Qingmi Ruri the dishes in the fast food truck. They were all home-cooked side dishes. They were basically competing for business with convenience stores and supermarkets, but compared to fast-food bentos, the food here was hot. , you can mix and match freely. If you want to eat here, they can also provide hot soup, hot tea, seats and soju - this food truck was previously run by Atsuko Yautani, and the business license was issued by her. On the surface, it seems that Naokawa Yoshino is Showing her the stall so she can sell wine.

"It's done. Naokawa-senpai, please give her the shogi. She has to use it even if she doesn't need it now." While the two of them were chatting, Takeshi Nanahara came back with a bag of "garbage", leaving only Aoi Naokawa holding it. A piece of fruit candy squatted there blankly, looking pitiful, innocent and helpless.

Naokawa Yoshino was stunned, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. He quickly went to get the shogi and the chess board to his sister so that she could continue playing.

Takenori Nanabahara handed the bag of "garbage" to Kiyomi Ruri and said with a smile: "Take it home and keep it. When she becomes famous in the future, she will get titles such as the Onona Throne, Onona Celebrity, Kurashiki Fujika, etc." He married a professional chess player and then sold her this bag of garbage at a high price - these bottle caps, cartons, and small stones are actually her good friends, and she will definitely spend a lot of money to redeem them."

Qingjian Liuli looked at the bag of "trash" and then at Takeshi Nanahara. Their eyes were the same, they were all looking at trash. She said in disbelief: "You tricked all Xiaokui's 'good friends'... back?"

Bastard, what are you doing on the plane? I thought you would guide the child carefully and be reasonable. How could you just kidnap the child?

Do you still have some basic humanity?

Takeshi Nanahara smiled heartlessly: "What a lie, it sounds so ugly. I am doing it for her own good. If the old one is not gone, how can the new one come?"

You are just a liar, and you still think about selling it at a high price ten or eight years later. In fact, you should be put in a garbage bag.

At this point, Qingmi Ruri had no choice but to take the bag of "garbage" in his hand with a sullen face, preparing to store it in his warehouse and return it to Naokawa Aoi in the future - if it is really like what Takeshi Nanahara said , when she grows up, she still wants this bag of garbage. No, if she still wants this bag of good friends, then give it back to her without taking a single yen.

Naokawa Aoi really had no choice. She had just heard her "good friends" using voices as thin as mosquitoes and ants saying that she wanted to study with Takeshi Shichihara and become more powerful. She respects the wishes of her good friends and can only let them go with Takeshi Nanahara - she is dumb in real life, but she is not stupid. She is very sure that Takeshi Nanahara kept his mouth shut just now and it was the "good friends" who were talking. .

Well, she was too young, her life was too closed, and her information was extremely insufficient. She didn’t know there was a skill called ventriloquism, and she couldn’t understand the despicableness of Takeshi Nanabahara. She just lost all her belongings at once, and even paid for it in the future. There is a risk of being "blackmailed".

She was at a loss for a while, and could only accept the reality, and began to play shogi honestly and in a way that others could understand, because her "good friends" said that they hoped she could solve more questions so that they could play more games together in the future. Happily, she still needs to practice.

She will look forward to the day when she can reunite with her "good friends."

Naokawa Yoshino breathed a big sigh of relief. Although she didn't understand how Takeshi Nanabahara persuaded her sister to voluntarily hand over this bag of "trash", this was definitely better than snatching it away directly, which would most likely irritate her sister. Now this is very good.

She watched her sister play chess for a while, and felt completely relieved. She got up and went back to Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Qingmi. She looked at Takeshi Nanahara and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Nanahara... Mr. Nanahara."

He is really amazing, he is so powerful even though he is blind...

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and said: "It's a small matter, Naokawa-senpai, don't be polite. If something happens to Xiaokui, don't worry about causing trouble. You can call me anytime... Just see your classmates. If nothing happens now, we will go back first."

"Please wait a moment." Naokawa Yoshino quickly went to put a few delicious dishes in a lunch box and said sheepishly, "I can't give you a good thank you gift. If you don't mind, please take it back to eat! If you like it, , please come anytime.”

"Thank you." Takeshi Nanahara didn't refuse. He smiled and motioned for Qingjian Liuli to pick it up. Now that the business is over, the two of them can go home.

Qingjian Liuli took him for a distance on a bicycle. When she looked back, she found Naokawa Yoshino squatting there and talking softly to Naokawa Aoi. They felt like they were dependent on each other. She couldn't help but ask Nanabahara Takeshi: " Will they get better in the future?"

"It's hard to talk about this kind of thing." Takeshi Nanahara thought for a while and said with a smile, "It will be difficult for a while. If you can get through it, the future will be fine. If you can't get through it... no one knows the future."

"Are you not sure? I really hope they will be fine." Qingjian Liuli has a strong empathy. Seeing that Takeshi Nanabahara couldn't give a definite answer, he sighed in disappointment and could only silently bless them in his heart.

Or, it would be nice to do something for them.
