I'm Not a Detective

Yu Iwato is forty-two years old. He is wearing loose house clothes, barefoot, and holding a string of black rosary beads in his hand. He is relatively short and thin, with a slightly delicate appearance, and looks much younger than his actual age.

He was very happy to see Takeshi Nanahara come. After all, Takeshi Nanahara is now a popular "famous detective", which can be regarded as a life-saving straw. He bowed repeatedly: "It's great that you can come, Nanahara-san. This time it's just a matter of time." please!"

Takeshi Nanahara looked at him carefully and returned the favor with a smile: "Don't worry, Iwato-san, I will do my best to find out the truth."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much." Although Yu Iwato is a wealthy "tycoon", he is not arrogant. As an employer, he still keeps his posture very low and bows when he speaks.

Kose Aomi smiled lightly and said: "Iwato-san, please invite Nanabahara-san and Kiyomi-san to go in first. He probably has a lot to ask you."

"Yes, yes, please come in." Yu Iwato invited them in and passed through the "Transmigration Gate", but nothing unusual happened.

The three of them took off their shoes at the entrance and walked a few steps forward to reach the living room. As soon as they stepped into the living room, Qing Jian Liuli was a little surprised. Iwafuji's living room was very large and spacious. It was twice the size of the room. It is more than 100 square meters, but there are very few furniture and not many decorations. In this aspect, it is similar to Takeshi Nanahara's living room before.

Maybe a minimalist?

Looking at it this way, it looks a bit like a hermit again.

She curiously looked at the spacious and simple super large living room, and knelt down at the small square table. Her mood was very subtle - mainly because the living room was too big and there were too few things. The sense of difference was very strong. She knelt down in the middle of the living room and sat down. , there is an inexplicable feeling of floating in the void, and a completely unfettered feeling of freedom.

Koze Aomi was considered half the master and took the initiative to make tea. Takeshi Nanabahara looked around this unique living room, looked back, smiled at Iwato Yumo and asked: "Iwato-san is practicing?"

Iwatomo plucked the rosary beads on his hand and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Yes, it has been more than eight years. It's just that there are too many worldly things and I can't really calm down, and my income is limited."

"It's good to be able to persist in Qingxiu." Takeshi Nanahara praised, and then asked, "So Iwato-san has always lived alone?"

Iwatomo nodded and replied: "Yes, someone will come from the resort at five o'clock every afternoon to help me prepare the day's meals and do cleaning work. They will stay for about an hour and then leave."

Takeshi Nanahara laughed twice more and admired the difficulty of his insistence on "clean cultivation" before returning to the subject, "What about the situation in the early hours of Wednesday morning? Can you please elaborate on it?"

Iwatomo touched the back of his head and sighed: "Nanahara-san, you don't have to be so polite. It's nothing inconvenient. I was just robbed. But the police didn't believe me. They thought I was at the forgery scene and didn't bother to investigate the case at all. I I wanted to file a complaint against them, but was stopped by Teacher Koze, who said there was no need to provoke the police now.”

After speaking, he hesitantly stretched out his hands and said, "Nanahara-san, don't you need to touch me to perform supersensory perception? I have heard Mr. Koze introduce your ability in detail before. If you need it, you really don't have to be polite."

Qing Jian Liuli was taking out a small notebook and preparing to take notes. He was surprised when he saw Iwato's friend being so cooperative - so confident, could he really have been robbed that day?

Takeshi Nanahara laughed dumbly, and was not polite at all. He stretched out his hands and asked him to put them on. Yasu Iwato closed his eyes for a moment and then began to recall what happened almost a week ago. "I was sleeping that night, and suddenly I was Two masked men woke me up and one of them threatened me with an ax to hand over all the money, which I did.”

Takeshi Nanahara was not in a hurry and asked patiently: "How much did you pay?"

"I don't have much cash here, only about 20,000 or 30,000 yen. I have an asset management company, and they handle equity income and land rent. When I need money, I usually call them, and they will pay directly or It was sent to me, I don’t need to keep too much money on hand.”

"Then what?"

"Then they didn't believe it. After I explained to them, they seemed surprised. They tied me up and gagged me and dragged me to the living room and started looking around. But my place is very simple. Everything can be seen at a glance. There are no famous watches or antiques. They didn't find any valuables like this, and finally they threatened me again, saying that I couldn't possibly only have this little money, but I really couldn't get it out. One of them got so angry that he punched me and beat me. Senseless."

As Iwatomo spoke, he touched the side of his head and sighed, "Just hit him right here. When I came back to my senses from a daze, I saw the two of them discussing what to do in a low voice. In the end, they seemed to admit that they were unlucky. , tied me to the fireplace, gagged me again, and the two of them left."

Takeshi Nanahara glanced at the oversized fireplace used for heating in winter from a distance... It was obviously on the side of the living room, but the living room was really too big. Sitting in the middle, he had to look at the fireplace from a distance.

He didn't rush over to check, and continued to ask: "Do their voices sound familiar?"

Iwatomo shook his head and said: "The accent is the local Hirano accent, nothing special. Moreover, they all have their faces covered, their voices are very muffled, and they keep their voices down. I can't tell if they are acquaintances."

Nanahara Takeshi thought for a while and then asked: "Then how did they get in? You should have some security measures here, right?"

"Of course there are security measures." Yu Iwato seemed to want to get up and point it out to him, but he was "feeling" it now and it was not convenient, so he said directly, "I have door and window vibration alarms here. If someone tries to destroy it, the resort will The security guard over there will receive the alert immediately and can arrive by car in two or three minutes.

Moreover, there are hidden active alarms in my bedroom and entrance, so I can call security at any time, but they were ineffective at the time. The two robbers who broke in through the window did not respond at all. It was only after a later inspection that I discovered that the alarm led to the resort. The communication cables had long been dug out and cut. "

"It was dug out and cut off a long time ago?" Takeshi Nanahara looked thoughtful, but it was not because the alarm failed so easily. This house was built in the early 1980s, and the alarm is most likely a civilian product from the 1970s, so we can't expect too much from it.

Yu Iwato could guess what he was thinking, and sighed: "The police also suspected that I cut it myself, thinking that ordinary people would not know where the cables were buried, but it really wasn't me who cut it."

Qingmi Ruri glanced at Takeshi Nanawara, trying to judge whether Iwatomo was lying through his expression, but of course he couldn't tell anything, so he turned to Iwatomo and asked: "Does anyone know where the cable is buried, Iwato-san?" ?”

If he's not lying, then there's a mole, and maybe we can start from here.

Aomi Koze had already made tea and came back. She had been listening and directly answered for Iwatomo: "The people in the security company know it, and there are several security personnel and employees in the resort who also know it, but we have all done secret things to them." The investigation found no possibility that they might have committed the crime, and finding the two home-invading robbers would not be of much help now, so there is no rush to pursue this matter."

Uh, yes, people spent money to find Da Duan Dai, not to find robbers.

Qingmi Ruri thought about it for a while. Even if Iwato Yu was really robbed and the two robbers were found, it still could not explain the disappearance of Da Duan Dai. Iwato Yu admitted that he was tied up in the living room throughout the day. Duan Dai also came in this morning, why didn't he see it?

This makes no sense at all, so he is still lying, and the police will still think that he is suspected of committing a major crime!

At most, the police could change their brain circuitry and believe that he was really robbed and did not fake the scene of being burglarized. Instead, they took the opportunity to kill Duan Dai, tied himself back to the fireplace, and started pretending to be innocent.

Takeshi Nanahara ignored the topic and did not ask in detail. He turned his attention back to the commission. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "What is the relationship between Iwato-san and Miss Odan?"

Tomo Iwato immediately said: "We have a very good relationship!"

"Dating?"

Iwatomo hesitated and sighed in a low voice: "That's right, but I will...well, I will..."

Kose Aomi coughed dryly and said softly: "Miss Da Duan's family's financial situation is not very good. She worked in a public relations club for a while, but that kind of place was a mixed bag. Iwato-san was worried that she would be ruined. Throughout my life, I have been giving financial assistance to Miss Duan on a monthly basis a year and a half ago, and I hope she can return to the right path as soon as possible."

Takeshi Nanahara smiled and expressed that he understood that Iwatomo was not moral and started using the bus for personal use a year and a half ago, and Dai Duandai was equivalent to his adopted mistress.

Keeping a mistress is not uncommon for rich people, but in front of two minors and strangers, Takeshi Nanahara and Ruri Kiyomi, Iwato Yu felt a little embarrassed and sighed: "Although Adai is Mine...but after being together for so long, we do have feelings for each other. I like her gentleness, thoughtfulness, and understanding."

Takeshi Nanahara immediately asked with a smile: "What about her? What does she think of this relationship?"

"She likes me too, maybe!" Yu Iwato said uncertainly, "It's also possible that half of her likes me and half of her likes my money, but I can feel that she does have sincerity for me. There were several times when she She asked me as a joke if I cared about her past, and said that it would be great if she could meet me earlier, so that she could be with me openly."

"Then do you have any plans for your future?"

Iwato Yu thought for a while and said: "I actually don't care much about her past. She is also in real difficulties at home and is forced by life. She is not to blame. Moreover, I don't deal with outsiders very much, so I don't care what others think. Maybe we will date her one day! I...she is really docile, well-behaved and smart, and I like her very much."

Kose Aomi said softly from the side: "We have also asked private detectives and Yuxin agencies to investigate Miss Oduan. Currently, her financial situation is good. Most of the financial assistance Iwato-san gave her before was used to purchase bank loans. The income from financial products is very stable, and she has not had an affair in the past year and a half."

Takeshi Nanahara nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "So, when was the last time Iwato-san saw Miss Oduan?"

"It was last Sunday. We only see each other once or twice a week." Yu Iwato was also very surprised. "She has a very gentle and considerate personality. She knows that I like to be quiet and don't like to make noise. She will only come over if I take the initiative to call her. There was no reason for her to come last Wednesday.”

Takeshi Nanahara took back his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "I understand the general situation. Now can you please Iwato-san to restore the scene on Wednesday?"

"No problem." Yu Iwato was very cooperative, but he stood up and asked expectantly, "Nanahara-san has finished sensing? Do you think there is no problem with me?"

Even if he doesn't care much about what others think of him, he doesn't want to be accused of murder, and he doesn't want the police to hang around him when nothing happens. Takeshi Nanabahara smiled and said, "Of course, Iwato-san's aura is very peaceful. I'm willing to I believe you."

Kose Aomi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back and tell the police about this matter. In a sense, this was considered a guarantee, and Takeshi Nanahara didn't care. He received the money, so this was considered a sale. Guaranteed services.

Well, the main reason is that Yu Iwato was too generous and gave a little too much.

He followed Yu Iwato to the bedroom. It was still a large and simple bedroom. This large villa had four rooms in total, a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom (with a toilet), and then like There is no study room, tea room, guest room, utility room, etc. The room area is not large enough.

There was no bed or bedding on Iwafuji, so he lay on the wooden floor. Then he was "awakened", tied up, and "dragged" to the living room by the fireplace. He was "beaten" again, and then "tied" while lying down. He went to the fireplace and described the tied posture in detail, and finally pointed to the window and said: "Just like that, they climbed out of that window, closed the window and left. I have been lying here, waiting until I was rescued at five o'clock in the afternoon when Nakamura-san came on time."

Takeshi Nanabahara took a closer look at the huge fireplace and found that it was made of ordinary rocks. The chimney went straight to the roof. In order to prevent sparks from burning the wooden floor, there was also a stone floor and a short iron fence around it. At that time, Yu Iwafuji With his back to the fireplace, his feet and hands were tied together to form a "four-hooves", lying on the stone slab like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and his body was tied to the iron grating of the fireplace, unable to move.

The binding method is very common and has no beauty, but it is really difficult to break free without professional training.

Kose Aomi said from the side: "Nakamura-san has been taking care of Iwato-san's life these years. He comes here on time at five o'clock every afternoon and has the key. When there was no response when he knocked on the door, he opened the door directly and came in. He found Iwato-san After being tied here, Iwato-san immediately cut the rope with a knife, and then Iwato-san immediately called the police. The cut rope was also taken away by the police, but they thought that Iwato-san might not really be tied up at that time. Before they arrived, , Iwato-san has a lot of time to turn the live dunk into a dead dunk."

After explaining, she turned to Iwatomo and sighed, "Iwato-san, please, please remember this lesson. No matter what happens in the future, call me first before calling the police.

As long as she was present at that time - she would definitely run faster than the police. It took the detective 55 minutes to get here. She was confident that she would drive over in 40 minutes. So as long as she was present, even if Iwato Yumo really killed Dai Duan, Nor does it make things so passive.

Iwato Yu had a very good temper and sighed: "I know, this is also the first time I have been robbed. I won't do it next time."

Takeshi Nanahara didn't care that the lawyer was teaching his client, and he didn't care whether he would be robbed a second time. He asked him to get out of the way, sat in front of the fireplace, and said to Qingmi Ruri: "You play the role of Miss Da Duan, open the door and come in. "

Qingjian Liuli immediately borrowed the key from Iwato Yu and went out, then opened the door and came in, willing to be the experimental subject.

Takeshi Nanahara sat by the fireplace and tilted his head to look at the entrance to the entrance. Although he couldn't directly see who was at the door, he could hear the sound of the door opening. The entrance was very short. As the door opened and closed, Qing Jian Liuli took off her shoes. Step into the living room.

Takeshi Nanabahara turned to Iwato Yu and asked: "Iwato-san, when you were tied here before, did you hear the door sound? Just now, could you hear the sound of the door opening clearly?"

He heard very clearly, but he was not a normal person, so he still had to ask.

Iwatomo immediately said: "I didn't hear any movement at the door, nor did I see Adai walk in like Qingmi-san. As for just now... when you mentioned it, I felt like I heard the door close, but I didn't hear the door open. the sound of."

The fireplace is diagonally facing the entrance to the entrance. In addition, Iwato Yasu's living room is so large that the distance between them can be considered as half a basketball court. The entrance passage also has a sound insulation effect to some extent. Under the circumstances, it was really difficult to hear the movement at the door - mainly because he was rich, the door was of good quality, and it didn't make any "squeaking" noise when it was opened and closed.

Takeshi Nanahara nodded, confirmed with Kose Aomi, and asked: "Miss Oduan also has a key? Did you give it to me?"

"Yes, I just gave it to her last month." Iwatomo sighed. "I wanted to help her buy a house before, so that she would not have to share it with others, but she refused, so I gave her the key here. , it’s okay to let her consider this place as her home.”

Takeshi Nanahara nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, Iwato-san, I'll look around."

"I'll accompany you!" Yu Iwato seems to want to learn martial arts from Nanabahara and improve his "perception" ability, which is quite enthusiastic.

"No need, I'll take a walk first."

Takeshi Nanahara declined with a smile, and went to the entrance to take a closer look. Qing Jian Liuli followed him and asked in a low voice: "Did he lie?"

Takeshi Nanahara knocked on the wall of the entrance hall, shook his head and said: "No, he has been telling the truth."

Qingjian Liuli was not at ease and said hesitantly: "He is also practicing, is there a way to hide it from you?"

"He practices Der. This is the first time I have seen a Qing practice method that can support a lover." Takeshi Nanabahara said with a smile, "There is nothing special about him, he is just a rich landowner."

Qing Jian Liuli didn't understand and asked strangely: "Then what kind of practice is he doing?"

If she had such good conditions, sitting on a large piece of real estate, and getting money every day while lying down, she would have used the money to make Takeshi Nanabahara into a housekeeper. She would be the eldest lady, and Takeshi Nanabahara would make delicious food for her at home every day, and she would be full. When she was young, she asked Takeshi Nanahara to tell her stories, and when she had nothing to do, she would coax her to play.

Humph, let’s see if this bitch still dares to tease her!

"It's a personal hobby! In the past, there were emperors who wanted to become immortals and had to become Taoist priests. Compared to him, this is nothing." Takeshi Qiyuan said with a smile, "Otherwise, he would not have to worry about food and clothing, and he would have money just lying around at home every day. If he doesn’t have a tossing and running around personality, what else do you think he can do?”

What a waste. Qingjian Liuli couldn't understand what the rich man was thinking, and began to be confused about the case. He said strangely: "Then he didn't lie, and the witness found by the police had no reason to lie. Where did Miss Duan go? He disappeared as soon as he opened the door, is it really time travel?"

No wonder Aomi Koze opened her mind to "parallel universes" last night. This is indeed beyond common sense.

"That possibility is too slim. There must be another reason." Even though Qi Yuanwu himself had encountered super strange things, he couldn't believe that Duan Dai could be as unlucky as him and still wander around the entrance.

"So there is a secret passage here?" Qingjian Liuli also started knocking around, and even moved the shoe cabinet in the entrance to take a look.

"There is no secret passage." Takeshi Nanahara has already heard it, and if there is a secret passage, Iwatoyo doesn't have to spend a lot of money to invite him.

"Then what's going on?" Qingjian Liuli didn't expect a "silly little case". When he came over, it turned out to be a bit supernatural. There were people at both ends, and the person in the middle disappeared as soon as he entered the door?

People outside watched her go in, and there were no other agencies in the middle, but people inside couldn't see her coming in?

Isn't this the same as the secret room disappearing out of thin air?

Takeya Nanahara didn't understand what was going on. He reached out to open the door and tried the door lock with the key Qingmi Ruri had just borrowed. He found that the quality of the door lock was also very good. It opened and locked smoothly. Everything It is normal. The door is a solid wood door and feels quite heavy. However, the door shaft is not stiff and it is effortless to push it. There is no movement. It is still normal and there is nothing surprising about it.

There isn't even a trace of strangeness.

He opened the door and went out, pushed the door open and came in, opened the door and went out again, tried this several times, and went out again. Qingjian Liuli waited for a moment, and saw the door slowly opening, and Takeshi Nanahara...disappeared!

She almost dislocated her jaw in an instant, and rushed out without hesitation, only to find that Takeshi Nanahara had disappeared. The guy was standing next to the door checking the wall outside. She was so angry that she almost couldn't control herself and gave him a slap in the face.

This bitch scared me to death. He walked away without saying a word. I thought you dared to travel without me!

This chapter is so long, almost 6,000 words. It seems there is no time code for the second chapter, so... let’s count it as two chapters!
