Chapter 20 19. Correction of reasoning

According to Mr. S's suggestion, we are going to ambush outside the teaching building and wait for Mr. Iwamura. As soon as I walked out of the teaching building, I met two unexpected faces. "Ah, it's you. Thank you last time!" Officer Tanwei smiled, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became deeper. "My lord, are you feeling better?" Officer Zhuli looked worried. Both of them are wearing half-sleeved shirts today.I looked at them and asked, "Has anything new been discovered since then?" "Well, there is still no progress. We police are really useless, sorry."

Officer Guwei tilted his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and patted his tanned forehead.Officer Zhuli went on to say: "Today we are here to talk to the teacher. I always feel that there will be some clues. Now we are going to the teacher's office." I suddenly remembered. "Well, can I ask a question?" "What do you want to ask?" "It happened on the day Mr. S's body disappeared—it must have been Mr. Iwamura's call to the police station that day. When did you make that call?" The two policemen raised their eyebrows at the same time and looked at each other.

"Playing detective games?" Officer Tanio scratched his earlobe.looked at me in bewilderment. "Oh, no, that's not what it means. I was devastated that day. I can't remember a lot of things. Always feel like I should figure it out—so I thought it would be nice to know what happened and when." What a beautiful lie.However, the police seem to have missed the trick. "Don't worry. Iwamura-sensei didn't do anything bad." Police officer Yanwei smiled wryly, took out a notepad from Guan Zhulijing's shirt pocket, and opened it. "Call the police. At 12:53. Then contact the nearest police station, and the police will set off immediately after receiving the information. Meet Mr. Iwamura in front of Mr. S's house, and the two of them will enter Mr. S's house together—"

Officer Tanio snapped the notepad shut and put it back in Officer Takeli's pocket. "No problem?" "Twelve fifty-three..." It was about that time that Mr. Iwamura walked out of the classroom and office. In other words, Mr. Iwamura did call the police right away.In this case—Mr. S's reasoning that Mr. S decided that Mr. Iwamura hid Mr. S's body after leaving the school and then called the police seems to be invalid. "Okay, we have to go. The teacher is still waiting for us in the office." "I want to ask one more thing." When the two police officers were about to turn around and leave, I hurriedly spoke again.

"Did anyone see a strange man that morning? For example. Near Mr. S's house... yes, for example, in that oak forest?" Officer Takeli wanted to take out the notepad from his pocket again, but was stopped by Officer Tanio.Officer Tanio then kept staring at me. "Why do you ask such a question? That morning? Wasn't that the period before Mr. S's body disappeared? Also, the strange man you mentioned..." I was at a loss for words.Officer Guwei said in an educational tone: "Well, no matter what, no one saw any strange people that morning. Of course, because it was before Mr. S's body disappeared, Zhuli hadn't done that. In-depth investigation."

Officer Guwei patted my head jokingly and said, "Detective, it's a failure!" After speaking, he laughed loudly.Officer Zhuli also smiled wryly. The two police officers turned and left like that, and walked into the teaching building. "Master Dao, are you doubting my reasoning?" "Well. Because..." "Didn't I say that the other night? Don't take everything I said to be true. I'm not Sherlock Holmes, and I can't be right all at once. No matter how infallible the reasoning may seem, it can be found." Small bugs come. The important thing is what to do next after you find the bug."

"Then what should we do next?" I didn't tell Mr. S that he misremembered the name of the big detective. "I'm thinking about it.--but not this time." "Huh? Then..." "That day, Mr. Iwamura met the police when he left the office, and then went to my house. But at that time, my body was gone. That is to say, Mr. Iwamura had hidden my body at that time Then when did he hide it? There is only one possibility." "When was that?" "Michifu-san left my house. When you ran out of my house crying, Iwamura-sensei was watching you from behind a bamboo bush or some other obstacle. Immediately after you left, he backed the car that was parked nearby into my house The door, stuff my body in, then hide the car and go back to school."

Surely Mr. Iwamura was the school that returned after me then. "Thinking like this is indeed more reasonable than the previous speculation. If you go to my house and find my body, and Mr. Iwamura is just waiting for the news at school at this time, you will not be able to deal with some unforeseen things." "An unforeseen event?" "For example, you think it's troublesome to deliver things to my house, so you don't go on the way. Or after you found my body, instead of going back to school immediately, you called the police directly, etc." "Oh, that's true. If Mr. Iwamura hides near Mr. S's house, he will be able to deal with these unexpected things."

"If you don't go to my house, he will call your house and say, 'What? You haven't been to S's house yet? Go quickly!' If you find the body and call the police immediately, he can also take advantage of it." Sneak into my house and hide the body while you're away, so that when the police arrive, the body will still be gone." "But what if I use your phone to call the police, and then stay at your house and wait for the police?" "In that case, I'll kill you too." "what……" Seeing my surprised reaction, Mr. S laughed.

"Just kidding. You can't use my phone to call the police. Because my phone has been shut down." "Ah, yes." It seemed that someone had talked about it in the classroom. "So, Daofu-san, what you saw was my dead body before Iwamura-sensei stuffed it into the car." The first question is thus resolved. "Another question. The police said that no one saw anything suspicious that morning. This means that the old man hasn't told the truth to the police. Why..." "Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe we think that the old man saw Iwamura-sensei was wrong? Or maybe the old man forgot to see Iwamura-sensei that morning? Or, he didn't tell the police Is there any other reason?"

"What's the reason?" Mr. S thought about it for a while, and replied, "Maybe he was threatened by Mr. Iwamura, not to tell others that he was seen that morning." "If the old man really didn't tell others, wouldn't Mr. Iwamura have no need to hide the corpse?" "Yeah. So I still don't know exactly what happened. But I can think about these details later. Anyway, today is the end of Iwamura-sensei. The two of us—no, you're going to find my dead body at his house Already!" Mr. S said lightly, very easily.I was suddenly filled with hatred for him.He is carefree, because he is a spider, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by Mr. Iwamura if the action fails.But I am a human being, and I am weak and short, and my classmates often make fun of me as a "miniature man" or a "pocket man". "But I said my husband, what are we doing now? It seems that Mr. Iwamura will not be able to come out for a while." "Yeah, the police say they're going to be asking a lot of questions in the office." "Then let's go home and take Xiao Meixiang with me." "--what?" I opened my mouth wide. "Why do you have to bring Meixiang?" "Think about it, if you are caught by Mr. Iwamura, do you need someone to call for help?" "Mr. S, are you serious?" Although I asked this question, a thought quickly crossed my mind: If I brought Meixiang with me, maybe I would feel more confident. "But in fact, stalking is not a big deal. Even if you are discovered, it's okay. It's just that you have to pay special attention when you leave after discovering my body. Finally, you have such an opportunity, so take Xiao Meixiang with you." "Finally..." Although full of hesitation, I still walked in the direction of home.Before I could figure it out, I was already home. Approaching the porch, I found a huge spider nest under the eaves. "Wow, Mr. Daofu! Look, look! The bridal spider! What a big guy!" It's really big.The stomach is as big as my thumb, and the thin hairs can be seen on the black and yellow lines. "Mr. S, it's a blessing that you didn't become like this." "It's just for you." We talked and went up to the second floor.Mei Xiang was seen by the window.He seemed to be gesturing to us, but he couldn't see clearly because of the bright sunlight reflecting off the window panes. Turning the lock, I walked in from the hallway.At this time, my mother is not at home, so it will not be a problem to take Meixiang out.
