[Three Days, One Issue] Little Date's Flower

Things started with a man.

He is about 20 years old, tall and handsome.

He was wearing a police uniform, leaning against the school gate, and he didn't deliberately make any sassy gestures. His lazy appearance attracted the attention of many ladies.

Oh, look, she's even prettier than Police Officer Tian Cheng!

Officer Tian Cheng can be said to be one of the most elegant and handsome officers in Osaka. He is even more beautiful than him. I don’t even think it’s a compliment, so I can’t help but stop and take a few more glances.

Looking at it, I actually saw Mr. Yiqi.

It was in July, the weather was very hot, and the cicadas were chirping loudly, so I couldn't hear what they were saying.But judging by their expressions, these two should be familiar.

Leaning against the marble school gate, the man first said a word with a smile.Mr. Yiqi was stunned for a moment, then he turned into a serious expression and continued talking for a long time.

Thinking about it now, maybe from this time on, Sanri Yue-jun's investigation of the case has already begun.It's just that he always smiles, doesn't like to wear a police uniform, and sometimes does some ridiculous things, which makes people ignore the fact that he is a policeman.

Yes, yes, that police officer's name was Mikazuki.

A few days after I learned that his purpose of coming to the school was that Cilong—I don’t know where he came from so many channels, but he could always get the news as soon as possible.

"The Kadoshima fire was actually a murder!"

The news caused an uproar in the class.

It is said that a certain dignitary who had a relationship with the Fujiwara family believed that the corpse died unnaturally, and asked the police to investigate the matter thoroughly.However, everyone on the island was burned to death. How easy is it to find the murderer from a pile of black charcoal?The case in Osaka was finally closed with an accident, and the big man was unwilling to do so, so he sent a criminal policeman from Kyoto.

That is, Sanriyue-kun.

When we heard about this incident, the circumstances of the case were still unclear. We only knew that the five dead were the painter, the housekeeper, the Fujiwara couple and his business partner.

No, no, it is a couple, but the woman is not the wife that the master is marrying, but another Chinese woman who is about to become his daughter.

Cilong didn't comment on the woman, presumably she had some background, at least she wasn't a noble lady who was considered meritorious after the war, but should be a noble lady of pure blood.

God knows how such a lady would fall in love with Mr. Fujiwara.

However, even the Chinese can go bankrupt.Once the family is not enough to maintain the dignity of the nobility, the title will be taken away - for such a reason, it is understandable that the young lady is willing to wrong herself.

Alas, alas, in short, who can explain the word love?

On the day when the cicadas were singing very loudly, after we parted at the school gate with Mikayue-kun who had just arrived, Mr. Phase I found me.

"Date-kun, can I ask you something."

"what's up?"

"It's a little inconvenient recently, and I would like to ask you to help take care of the flowers in Hulupo."

I immediately understood that the flowers in Hulupo are not flowers. It seems that the old man Kinoshita must have something to do with the fire in the Fujiwara mansion.It's just that I don't know what role Mr. Yiqi played in the incident?

A murderer is absolutely impossible.Because the school was holding the opening ceremony the night before the fire was discovered, the first-term Mr. attended as a freshman representative, and it was already past [-] pm when he finished his speech. Later, he also helped clean up the auditorium—fishermen’s ferries usually stop running at [-] pm, so I only In terms of time, it is impossible to go to the island to commit murder.

Besides, he was in uniform all the time.In order to ensure the safety of nobles, uniforms of our school have always been custom-made, and there is a famous brand tattooed on the chest.If it was the murderer, the uniform would definitely be stained with blood the next day, but Mr. Yiqi's clothes were normal.

So what is it?

I didn't answer right away, I thought about it for a while before speaking.

"Of course you can take care of it, but I want to hear about the flowers. If it rots from the roots or grows black flowers, wouldn't it be a pity to water him?"

Mr. One laughed.Set off by the helpless tone, the smile was a bit bitter.

"I assure you. This alone, I can assure you—the flowers of the gourd are white."

Well, still prevaricated, but I believe in the character of this gentleman.It is obviously counterintuitive to think of a little old man as the culprit for killing five people.Besides, compared with those who understand and take it for granted, this feeling of being separated by a layer of veil excites me more.

"Then, when the flowers wither, allow me to dig up his roots and have a look."

Regarding the final concession of the truth, Mr. Yiqi nodded.

So the next day, I rented a house in a residential area close to the school at the bottom of the slope on the grounds of painting, and started sneaking to Kinoshita's house.
