Chapter 15 Section five

The next morning, when I was scaring the ducklings into squawking in the water park as usual, I heard the sound of bicycles, followed by the greeting of "Good morning sister". It's a newspaper delivery boy.However, this hardworking young man did not whistle and pass by this morning. Instead, he pressed the brakes and stopped next to Kayo. "I can't wait to talk to my sister. I saw the news! It was my sister who found the body, right?" Little Kayo smiled ambiguously. "Yes. But you should also know that the corpse is gone." "I heard that guy is a drug dealer. So cool!"

Not cool at all.I left behind the ducklings who seemed reluctant to give up, and went back to the trail. "I know that person." The newspaper delivery boy said in inaccurate Japanese. "His name is Inami, and he lives in the green bank building in front." "Isn't the younger brother living there?" "Yes, yes, I have seen his younger brother too. They look very similar, but the drug dealer named Yang looks more oppressive." "Yang himself stayed in his brother's apartment building?" "Yeah. Once when I delivered the evening paper, he happened to be paying the toll collector of the gas company, saying that he wanted to pay off the late payment for three or four months at once." The young man continued to talk with his arms folded in a serious manner. "That Inami-san—ah, I'm talking about my younger brother who lives in the Green Bank Building."

"Well, Mr. Xiao." "Yes, his name is Xiao. He seems to be engaged in acting, so he has no money and always complains about being poor. But he subscribed to three kinds of newspapers, saying that he needs to read drama reviews." "Lack of money..." Kayo thought thoughtfully. "Well. Sometimes a group of people will live in, maybe his acting partner, but everyone looks poor and poor. A pile of disposable dishes delivered by the store has been piled up at the door for more than a month. , I felt pitiful when I saw it. I knew that the family was short of money.”

"Does the delivered bowls and dishes sit for a long time mean that you are short of money?" "That's right. Out-of-town shopkeepers won't take back the dishes before the customer pays, because then there will be no evidence." Kayo's smile deepened, and I admired it too.Although this is the basic common sense of observing things, it is not something that ordinary children will know. "Oh... so, do you also visit the Evening News?" "Ok." "very impressive." The newspaper delivery boy said shyly: "Because it's very interesting. You can meet a lot of people and know more about local affairs. Newspaper delivery students like us often exchange information with people who collect electricity bills, gas bills, and meter readers. Like this area, a bunch of new buildings are suddenly built, and there are more people coming in and out. If one is not paying attention, the money may not be received, and people will run away. Or like me, if you can quickly know where there are new residents , you can get a newspaper subscription contract. Like the residents who just moved in these two days, I will give a free newspaper first, and in doing so, the other party will almost always subscribe to our newspaper."

The paper boy takes his social experience very seriously.Little Kayo smiled endlessly. "Oh... I really learned a lesson. Here, my name is Hasumi Kayoko. Isn't there a Hasumi Detective Agency at the corner of 4-chome? I am the daughter of that family. If there is anything, please give us some Any intelligence? I think it would be helpful." "Sister is a detective? That's cool!" cool right?In order to make up for the time wasted fishing, the newspaper delivery boy quickly left, and I sent him silent solidarity.You have to shoulder the future of the Japanese economy!

Before we came to the palm forest, Ms. Fujimi, who didn't look very good today, was waiting for us there earlier. "It's early. What's the matter?" As expected of Kayo, she is very sensitive.She immediately noticed Miss Fujimi's bad face. Ms. Fujimi timidly said: "It's about the last time. Well, after I went to the police station to confirm the relic yesterday, I ran into Inami Hiroshi's brother on the way home." Kiyoshi opened his eyes wide. "Did the other party call you?" "No. But, since they looked alike, I thought it might be—I didn't know what to do, so I introduced myself to him and told him that I was one of the witnesses who found Brother Ling's body , mourning him. As a result, he ran away as if to flee."

Little Kayo folded his arms and stared at Miss Fujimi intently. "His appearance is very strange. So I—I wondered if it would be..." Ms. Fujimi closed her mouth, and said with a look that hoped that the other party would understand. "Isn't it ridiculous to think so?" Little Kayo was silent.After a while, she whispered, "Acting..." "Well, acting. Could it all be acting? That's why the corpses have to disappear." That's right, it's acting.Ms. Fujimi is quite perceptive.I've always wanted to tell you this-- "Can you go back to the office with me?" Xiao Kayo said.

After returning to the office together, Kayo immediately called the district police station.She asked the criminal police who found the "corpse" and was responsible for reporting the case to listen to the phone and explain to him the whole story. "Well, yes, yes. Could you please check it out? I'll wait for the results." "What are you talking about?" Xiao Department, who hadn't gone to school yet, interrupted and asked. "Bloodstain identification of remnants." Kadai answered briefly. We waited for a full two hours. Although we were bored, we were very excited when I thought that this answer would determine whether I could take the burden off my shoulders.

The phone rang, and Kayo answered it immediately. "Hey, Hasumi. We've been waiting for a long time... yes. Negative? Does that mean it's not blood? I see." After hanging up the phone, she scanned everyone's faces. "The police said that there were no traces of blood in Hirohiro Inoue's belongings. On the contrary, there was blood-like paint used as props in the performance." The director wiped his face.I breathed a sigh of relief and lowered my ears. "Let's go to the building where Inami's younger brother, Mr. Takashi lives. The police have already passed."
