Chapter 12 10. Mo Ke Nai He's Murder Case

I always feel that I am bored, why does Tsutsuya-san have to kill grandpa?I don't know what his motives are.However, Mr. Tsujiya is a prisoner, but it is an iron-clad fact, and that seems to be the case. When we had a great scuffle in the living room, my grandfather was supposed to be drinking alone in the attic of the main house, and I think Tsutsuya-san might have gone there afterwards.I don't know why Tsutsuya-san wants to go there... Just imagine, the purpose is probably to curry favor with me.The reason, of course, was the conversation in the dining room that morning.Aunt Hu Liunai asked me why I approved Miss Youli as the heir, and I replied that it was because I admired her.Of course, Auntie just took it as a joke, but Tsutsuya-san accepted it seriously.Afterwards, she was dumped by Ms. Yuri (probably), so she had no choice but to decide that her position was at a disadvantage.He judged that if my speech had an impact on Aunt Huliunai, it would be better to curry favor with me from now on, so he thought of looking for me in the attic!But I wasn't there, and my grandfather was in my place.Is that the case!

So far, things are understandable.As always, what I don't understand is always in the later part.What exactly happened to make Tsutsuya-san kill his grandfather?Anyway, Mr. Tsutsuya came to the main building to take the Phalaenopsis vase from the reception room, and was witnessed by Mrs. Yuko there.But Tsutsuya-san didn't notice her at that time.After committing the crime, he put the vase in the attic room, and met Mrs. Juzi again when he left.Mrs. Juzi asked him what happened to the flowers, and Mr. Tsutsuya was greatly surprised.He never expected that when he brought the murder weapon to the scene, he was actually witnessed by someone.If grandpa's body is found, sooner or later everyone will know that he is the criminal.As long as the police were notified, he could only wait for death, so he was determined to escape before then.Things seem to be so simple, but although the process of committing the crime can be imagined, the key motive is still unclear.

After the police received the notification, they immediately pulled up the cordon.Should Mr. Tsutsuya be arrested, motives and other details could emerge from his mouth.No, the correct way to describe it is "the case should become clear".However, the chance to tell the truth from Mr. Tsutsuya's mouth will never come.Because before he was arrested by the police, it was past midnight, and January 2 will be "reset" again, entering the seventh round. Although at three o'clock in the morning, I woke up for a while because of thirst, but I didn't want to force myself to wake up, so I continued to sleep like this, feeling like I was lying in bed with a little nausea.No matter how impromptu, no matter how hard he tried, as if mocking this effort, he always killed the grandfather by the unexpected "ambush".I'm so sick of it, it doesn't matter what it turns out to be.

This time, he had to come up with a way to restrain Tsutsuya-san at the same time.But can this really stop it?Judging from the evolution of the last round, it really makes me think that anything can happen.Although I want to limit Tsutsuya-san's actions, this time it may be that Aunt Huruno or Mrs. Yuko will become the "surrogate prisoner".Not only that, but it could also be Miss Yuri.As much as I hate to think about it, the odds are pretty high. I had to come up with a way to keep everyone in check... In the dream, my mind kept going back and forth.Not only the Otani family and the Zhongzhijiang family, but also Mr. Tsukiya, Miss Yuri, Aunt Huruno, and Mrs. Juzi. Is there any way to completely restrain all of them?

No, wait!Suddenly I thought of an unexpected possibility.If the movement of all personnel is restricted, wouldn't there be other strange "surrogate prisoners" from the "outside"?Hello, hello!That's against the rules!But even if I say that, it's a waste of effort, and I have to anticipate those surprise attacks.Aren't there two outstanding "ambush reserve forces" father and uncle?The culprit who forced them into vacancies, or their dismissal, was none other than Grandpa.If the father or uncle knew the truth, they would have sufficient motives!Pretending not to attend the New Year's party, but actually lurking near Yuanshang's house and waiting for an opportunity.This assumption is not a joke, but could happen.That's really annoying!

That's it.After coming to a conclusion, I got up from the bed.If you want to restrict your movements, it is not enough to limit yourself to Mr. Tsutsuya or Aunt Huruno. Everyone, including grandpa, must be completely restrained.Gather all personnel in one place and monitor their movements until evening.It seems that this is the only way left to prevent grandpa from being killed.But, specifically, how should it be implemented? Although I got up at eight o'clock in the morning, it took another ten minutes before I knew it.I left the attic in a panic. When I went downstairs, I didn't even look at Luna's sister's earrings on the stairs, and went straight to the kitchen.Even if I return it to myself today, I will return to the same place later.Just pick it up and return it to her in the last round.

After entering the kitchen, I found that only Aunt Hu Runai was still there.Because of the lack of red colored paper, they couldn't fold it, the stationery store wouldn't open for three days... and so on, the usual conversation seemed to be over, and Grandpa and Mrs. Juzi went back to the main building. "Oh, Q Taro!" When my aunt saw me, she was taken aback for some reason, her expression was mixed with remorse and fear, as if she was arrested for stealing.Of course, she didn't have any bandages or anything like that on her cheeks. "Ah, yes, yes, so you sleep in a room in the main house!"

"Did you mistakenly think that there was no one in the main house?" I was intuitively suspicious of my aunt's attitude.Maybe it was a premonition that I could get some clues related to the incident, so I directly said the things that suddenly came to my mind. "By the way, that's why you brought grandpa here specially! In order to talk about those private things about origami just now." "Q Taro, you..." Aunt Hu Liunai's reaction at that time can be described as astonishment.No, although she was surprised, her expression clearly revealed her relief.The burden that only she herself (or Mrs. Juzi, to be precise) knew could be relieved. "Did you hear the conversation just now?"

"Well, I've heard it several times." I slipped my lips, of course I've heard it several times, but really, those conversations only happened once. "Anyway, I heard it all." "Then," Aunt Hu Liunai was originally very open-minded, but when her expression became stiff, it made people feel that she had aged several years in an instant. "You know everything, right?" "Grandpa's origami crane thing? There is black..." While speaking, I slowly summarized my uncertain thoughts into concrete hypotheses.Before this, why didn't I think of such a thing?The thing is unbelievably simple. "Blue and yellow, but only the red color paper is missing, which is me! Only my color is missing."

"Yes," the aunt nodded, "that's it." "The color of the colored paper is the same as the color of the tracksuits we wear. Black represents Tsutsuya-san and Yuri-san; blue represents Fujitaka-san and Mai-san; yellow represents Seshio-san and Luna-san. There was no green color paper from the beginning because there was no need to prepare it. The color of the color paper is only the color of the sportswear worn by candidates who inherit EDGE-UP.” "That's right." Auntie sighed, but she seemed to be relaxed, but there was still some hesitation in her smile. "That's what happened."

"Use individual colors to origami cranes, and choose the heirs that should be recorded in the will. But the red colored paper that should be prepared is missing, which is my color, so I can't fold it. That is to say , if an heir cannot be selected, grandpa will not be able to write a will. Is that so!" "Do you even know such details? Is it only Q Taro who knows? Or does everyone else know?" "They know that the will hasn't been written yet, at least sister Luna or other brothers and sisters know. However, I don't think they know about origami. I still don't know exactly how grandpa uses paper cranes to determine heirs .” "It's not a method worth mentioning. It's too childish. I feel stupid even explaining it." Although the aunt seemed to be sighing, she smiled carefreely as if thinking of something again Voice. "Put the paper cranes folded from colored paper of various colors into the finished boxes. There are two boxes, one for men and one for men. That is to say, there are four colors of black, blue, yellow, and red in the boxes for boys; There are black, blue, and yellow paper cranes in the box. A hole the size of a fist is cut in the box. Then, closing your eyes, you put your hands into a separate box, and grab a paper crane from each side. That's how it's decided." "That is to say..." The so-called box was, of course, the box the size of a tissue box I saw in the study.When I saw it, only one and.That's because of the lack of red color paper, there is no way to "select" it, so I stopped doing it halfway! "Are you going to choose two heirs?" "One for each male and female." "Isn't this strange? At the New Year's party, Grandpa announced the heirs for the past five years. It was true that only one person's name was mentioned at that time! First it was Luna-san, next time it was Luna-san, and then Tsutsuya Sir, brother Fujitaka, and finally Ms. Yuri." "Well, it's actually just one of the paper cranes that was caught first. In the past five years, another person was actually elected. However, he seems to want to name two heirs at the same time. Before the official announcement, it can be kept secret for the time being, and then everyone will be shocked. It would be great if these two people can get married with the opportunity of sharing this surprise——his thoughts are so naive!” "The past five years..." I suddenly asked this unimportant question out of curiosity. "The other heir as a partner, who is it?" "Shifu, Tsuchiya, Mai, and then Mai, and finally you Q Taro." That being said, I am the one named Yuri-san's companion!However, in fate, this is already a completely abandoned combination, and it is a completely invalid relationship.This is indeed a symbol of my current state of mind...but this is not a time to indulge in sentimentality. I see.When deciding on such an important choice as an heir, the grandfather used a naive method that is not worth mentioning.It should be the last round, right?I recalled overhearing the conversation between Aunt Hurunai and Mrs. Juzi in the restaurant.The aunt sighed and said, that method doesn't matter.In order to comfort the aunt, Mrs. Juzi also said something like rejuvenating, and Miss Yuri just came in at that time, and the conversation between the two was interrupted.In short, they were criticizing Grandpa for being too childish in his decision-making methods.Aunt Hu Liunai said that it looks like gambling, but it cannot be called gambling.The meaning of this sentence is now clearer to me. "So I see. However, each of us is assigned a color, and it has always been fixed, hasn't it? In my case, the color is red, which has never changed! If so, why is everyone in the At the New Year's party, you have to wear the same color sportswear as your own?" "That's because..." The smile on Auntie's face disappeared, and she shook her head as if she was having difficulty breathing. "He couldn't recognize the faces of his grandchildren, and gradually he couldn't tell the difference. Not only that, but his memory also became very strange. So even if you want to make origami, you have to determine who is wearing this color sportswear. You have to see the person in person to know, otherwise there will be no impression." "So, is it possible..." Although I felt disgusted, I still remembered what Brother Fujitaka said about my grandfather mistaken him with Brother Shishifu. "Does this mean that grandpa has become demented?" "Of course." For some reason, the aunt's voice became rough as if angry. "That's what it means!" "Is it that serious?" "Usually it's fine, and symptoms don't occur very often. So most people don't notice." "Does only aunt know?" "Of course Mrs. Juzi also knows, that's why she can discuss with me like that." "So it's better for me to keep silent?" "Yes, don't tell it if you can. Although one day, the symptoms will be so severe that they can't be concealed. But if it is exposed during this period, I don't think it's good. At least it must be concealed until the will is written. Otherwise, I will give my sister and Ye Liuming a chance to cause commotion in vain. Maybe they will say that the decision of the demented old man is invalid. If the situation develops like that, it will only become chaotic to the point of being unmanageable." "I see. If that's the case, I'll keep silent." "deeply appreciated." "Just in exchange," what a string of falsehoods to invent in front of everyone, and I was at a loss until I went downstairs to the kitchen.But now I have a good excuse, and I am secretly happy. "I have a request." "what?" "The whole day today, or strictly speaking, before the evening, can we continue to hold the New Year's meeting in the living room? Of course, all members must attend." "Of course there is no problem." Do you like to have a banquet then?Auntie's secret expression seemed to remind me that I was underage, so she rolled her eyes. "Anyway, before you go back today, you don't have any plans. But...' "Then I'm counting on you, let's just say that and leave! Please be sure to gather everyone. Mr. Tsukiya, Ms. Yuri, Mrs. Yuzi, and of course grandpa too." "Don't let grandpa drink too much." Auntie frowned. "There are many problems with his body, but Q Taro doesn't know it." "Is it because grandpa passed out for several minutes and still lost consciousness? The aunt who was very worried once asked grandpa to go to the neurosurgery for medical treatment." "You even know this kind of thing? Who did you buy your information from?" "Of course I knew it from grandpa!" I hastily interrupted the aunt who became more and more passionate because of suspicion. "Of course, there's no need to force grandpa to drink. It's just that you must let grandpa sit with me, so that's fine, and it's also until evening." "I see. Although I don't quite understand why I did this, I promise you. I will also ask Mrs. Juzi to prepare the meals that are needed temporarily." "Please don't tell everyone that it was my idea, just say it was Auntie's suggestion." '"Okay, okay, I'll do what you tell me." "Thank you very much indeed, and it would be much appreciated if we could start before noon." "Then I'll get ready right away." "By the way, Auntie." I suddenly thought of taking this opportunity to confirm what I could confirm. "Do you know Kazuo Shota? Or Mayu Yui?" "Hetian? I don't know. I don't think I know anyone with that name, and I don't remember anyone with Diaojing. Who are they?" "Nothing." She didn't seem to be lying.The reason why Dad and Uncle Zhong Zhijiang were framed should be the grandfather's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Hu Liunai. "nothing." Aunt Hu Liunai went back to the main building, and it took me a long time to feel the sense of liberation from letting go of the burden.There is no problem, and in this way, the murder will not happen.All the people gathered in the living room, and I monitored everyone's actions without any trace, so it was impossible for Grandpa to be killed.As I mentioned before, the round before the last round, which is the eighth round, must be used as a test, so the seventh round is the last chance to try new methods.At this last chance, I was finally able to determine a decisive way to stop it, and this way was unexpectedly assisted by Aunt Hurunai. By the way, be careful sailing for thousands of years.I went to the reception room of the main building, took away the decorative vase filled with phalaenopsis, and took the trouble to confirm that no one had seen it before taking the vase to the main room.I even nervously worried that someone might see it from the window.Finally, I successfully hid the vase in the utility room.In this way, the murder weapon has been prepared in advance, so there is no need to worry about it.I firmly believe in my heart that no matter how unpredictable things happen, it is absolutely impossible for my grandfather to be killed. Maybe it was too much peace of mind that caused the excitement, and I couldn't calm down.So, I decided to wait in the living room early.There was no one in there.Of course, the glass of the partitions, sliding doors, and glass doors were not broken at all, and even the hanging scrolls were intact.Although I am quite aware of the situation of the "reset" of time and space, after seeing everything in order with my own eyes, I unconsciously smiled.The scene is really "restored" perfectly. Not long after, Mrs. Juzi showed up, and she began to prepare for cooking. I happily offered to help.Perhaps because of Aunt Huruno's instructions, Yuri-san also showed up to help, and soon Aunt Huruno also came.The impatient people, that is, the group of people who wanted to drink from the morning, also showed their faces.Shifu brother, Luna sister, Fujitaka brother, Mai sister, Auntie Haruina, mother and Mr. Tsutsuya appeared together, and then only grandpa was there. But the most important grandfather has not shown up for a long time.Mr. Tsuchiya went to the second floor to invite his grandfather, but came back right away. "Not in the room, does anyone know where he is?" he said. In terms of timing, it was normal even though Grandpa had gone to the main house.After glancing at the clock, I stood up after making such a judgment.I told everyone that I just saw my grandfather going in the direction of the main house, so I went to have a look.Of course, I didn't let anyone, including Tsutsuya-san, go with me to find my grandfather.Based on the experience so far, anyone can become a "surrogate" prisoner. If someone is not careful and lets someone stay with grandpa, it will undoubtedly create an opportunity for him to commit murder. It was extremely stupid, so I decided to go alone. I finally got to this point, in order to pick the last sweet fruit, I hope that the incident will not happen again. I entered the main house through the corridor, and when I passed through the kitchen and was about to climb up the stairs, I was startled suddenly and stopped involuntarily.Someone was staring up at me from the floor. It's grandpa.His feet were hanging on the stairs, and he fell on the floor on his back, with his head facing the direction of the kitchen, his hands raised above his head in a long live pose, his loose white hair was dyed bloody red, and his staring eyeballs turned white and cloudy. I sat down on the ground on the spot, if anyone saw my expression at this moment, they would think I was crazy!This is indeed a nightmare.Although feeling lost, I still lifted my grandfather's wrist, but forgot to take the pulse.This kind of self is really ridiculous to the extreme. Undoubtedly, Grandpa died. --
