Chapter 26 Twenty-five, name

When I got home, it was already three thirty in the afternoon.After a while, my mother also came back from her part-time job. "Xiao Meixiang, mom is back!" What my mother is holding on her chest is a pink plastic bag with an exaggerated round "Fanxi-Q" logo printed on it. "Xiao Meixiang, guess what mommy bought?" While exaggeratingly yelling "Look at it", my mother took out "Duo Reimi Baby Makeup Set" from the plastic bag, which is the one that is always advertised on TV. "It's a little early, isn't it? But, little Meixiang, the little girl will be very beautiful if she puts on makeup. Come, come here, sit here. Mom will do your makeup."

I pretended to go to the second floor, and quietly hid in the shadow of the corridor to observe. Mr. S also seems very interested.My mother squatted next to the chair in the dining room, and took out children's cosmetics one by one from the box of the makeup set.He kept saying "how awesome" and "so cute" and all that while starting to show the effect of the gift on that face.However, that face, which was quickly painted in various colors, was neither beautiful nor cute. In a word, it was a bit scary.Mom seemed to notice this right away, and her excited face just now changed color.

"Being suitable for this new cosmetic is still a problem." Mom took out the handkerchief from her handbag, trotted to the kitchen, and turned on the tap to moisten the handkerchief. "Let's practice a little bit. Now this doesn't count, doesn't count." In less than twenty seconds, that face returned to its original appearance.I finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That face is really scary." When we went back to the bedroom and closed the door, Mr. S couldn't help but sigh. "If that face suddenly appeared in the dark, I would be scared to death."

I have no intention of laughing at this blunt joke.A thought that flashed inadvertently always lingers in my mind. Girls of a certain age seem to generally wear makeup.Mei Xiang doesn't seem to like that face just now either, but one day she will also want to dress up a bit more beautifully.I glanced at Meixiang quietly, but Meixiang didn't look in my direction.What Meixiang was thinking, I had no idea. "Hey, what's the matter with you two?" Mr. S asked puzzledly. "Nothing." I replied. "Let's think about what your mother-in-law said first."

"Yes, yes, we must understand the hint. ——Master Dao, do you have any paper and pen?" I opened the drawer and found the pen right away, but I couldn't find anything like a notepad, so I had to use the back of the commemorative materials issued by the school.This is an illustrated map called "The Neighborhoods We Live In," and there are twelve of the same.It seems that we have to walk around our neighborhood every month, but I haven't done it once. "Then, Mr. Dao, can you write down the magician's reminder first?" I still can't judge whether Mr. S trusts the mother-in-law, but I still follow Mr. S's request. ——Good luck.English.

"What is it, Mr. Daoist, why is it a red pen?" "That's the only thing in the drawer. Ah, I have it in my bag. Wait a minute." "Forget it. It's just a little awkward." Indeed, these two words written in red pen do have a sense of terror. "Okay. Then, Mr. Dao, next—" "Next?" "Yes I do." Next we scratched our heads and tried desperately to deduce the meaning of these two words. Mr. S believes that the word "Daji" may represent the meaning of "dog". "How do you say a dog in English?"

"Is it called dog?" "Yes, dog. Dog is a hint—" But that theory quickly became unreliable.Nothing associated with dog.Therefore, I still advocate the word "Daji", which means Daji. "So the mother-in-law's reminder is always that the vocabulary is not enough, and she won't replace it with other words. So far, she hasn't had it once." "And what does 'English' stand for?" "Well, I guess it still means 'English'. Although I still don't understand what it means." "If you don't understand what it means, you can't help it—hm?—ah!"

"What's wrong?" "'English' may have been misheard. In fact, it is not the 'English' spoken by foreigners, but refers to something else. For example, the name of a person, 'Yingwu' or something?" "Yes, there are men with this kind of name. If it refers to the name, then it seems to be related to 'Daji'." I decided to write some names with the pronunciation of "eigo" in red pen on the back of the map material, but I couldn't think of any Chinese characters, so I wrote "エイゴ" in katakana first.After I finished writing, I felt that this line of thinking might also be wrong.

"I don't know anyone with the name 'eigo'.—Where is Mr. S?" Mr. S doesn't know either.The same goes for Meixiang. "Ah, Doufu-san, where is Iwamura-sensei? Is Iwamura-sensei's name called Iwamura Eigo?" "That's his name? No, no, no, it seems to be some more perverted name. Now Teacher Yancun's name is no longer a reminder, because we already know that Teacher Yancun killed you." "that's true." "Not 'dog', not 'dog', not 'eigo'..." At that moment, Mr. S suddenly yelled loudly.

"Got it! Got it! Got it!" Meixiang and I waited expectantly for Mr. S's next words, but Mr. S did not continue immediately. "...Well...so...that is to say..." This does not seem to be some useless nonsense, Mr. S seems to be desperately sorting out something in his mind. "Master Taoist!" After a while, Mr. S finally spoke. "Remember when I named Dae-gil 'Dae-gil'?" "Ah, you told me that before. It was in English at first..." I don't know why, but there was a sudden "clang" in my mind. Mr. S continued: "Yes, at the beginning, that guy got lost and wandered into my house. I originally named him Lucky. Later, I always felt that it didn't fit with it, so I changed it. But, if you change It became a new name completely unrelated to the original name, and I felt a little sorry for it, so I simply translated the name Lucky into Japanese."

"That means it's changed to 'Daji', right?" It seems that I can finally more or less understand what Mr. S wants to say.But it is difficult to understand all of them accurately and smoothly.The answer seems to be close at hand, but it is difficult to discern the real meaning. "there." Mr. S lowered his voice. "Mr. Daofu, show me the note that the old man handed you at the station." I took the note out of my pocket and put it next to the map material. "Does this note have anything to do with it?" "Of course there is, and there is still a lot of connection. ——So the reminder from my mother-in-law actually refers to the name of the author of this book. 'Mukura Kaoru'. Let me ask you a question, how do you say 'rock' in Iwamura in English?" "Yep……" I also finally understood. "It's rock! In other words, 'Six Villages' is—" "Iwamura!" Mei Xiang called out suddenly. Mr. S said with great satisfaction: "That's what happened." "That novel—that is, the novel about killing children and destroying corpses, the author is Iwamura-sensei. Iwamura-sensei said that he had published novels before, so he wrote such a novel! 'Xun', yes His real name?" Thinking about it, I really feel useless. That is to say—— Mr. S pulled back his posture and spoke slowly. "So my mother-in-law is reminding us that this novel is a tool to expose Mr. Iwamura." "However, how to use the novel as a tool?" "It's very simple. Just report to the police that Mr. Iwamura wrote such a novel. In this way, although the police may not suddenly arrest Mr. Iwamura immediately, there will always be a feeling that 'this guy It's weird'. Then I will investigate Iwamura-sensei. As long as you touch it, there will be problems revealed. Of course, it will be a secret investigation. As long as his perverted hobby is discovered, the evidence that killed me will definitely be found out .If his car is searched, there will be traces of dead people in it, and it will be found." I see.I couldn't help clapping my hands.It was really cloudy. "However, Mr. Dao, there is one thing that must be done before this." "What's up?" "Before we call the police, we must confirm whether our speculation is correct. That is to say, whether Kaoru Mumura is Mr. Iwamura. And it is best to read the content of the novel with your own eyes. If not all, at least a few Page. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be convincing to call the police.” "You can browse the contents of the novel in the bookstore. But, how can you prove that it was written by Mr. Iwamura?" Mr. S thought for a while, then suddenly shouted: "That's right!" "Go to the library tomorrow! Since you can read the content of the novel, you can ask the librarian to understand the author's situation. Kill two birds with one stone, right?" It seems that the phrase "kill two birds with one stone" was also mentioned when planning to follow Mr. Iwamura.I have a bad feeling.
