Before noon that day, two criminal police officers from the district came to Ruixiang's room with a police officer from the forensic department. When I saw the three men get out of the dark blue RV parked in the corner of the parking lot, I knew immediately that they were the police, because it was obvious from their clothes.Both detectives were wearing plain suits and trench coats, with outdated ties hanging loosely around their necks.The people in the forensics class were wearing blue jumpsuits and hats of the same color, which were the same as the ones seen on TV, so they could be recognized at a glance.

The three of us were ordered not to walk around casually. Fortunately, we happened to meet Tang Jianmu's father who was burning a fire in the corner of the garden.We were discussing the chain of events with him when the police came. "Huh? Michio, Mr. Torii and the others seem to have called the police." "Oh, really." I breathed a sigh of relief.Although Songyue said so, even if the matter of the lotus seat is not mentioned, the matter of the parking lot must be dealt with by the police. "They should investigate the parking lot first." Father Tang Jianmu said in a serious tone.We have told him the simple story.

"Compared with a small bloodstain and a big 'ㄑ', of course 'ㄑ' is more important." "Well, is that so? - Hey, here, here!" Mabe stood up suddenly, yelling loudly and waving.The two criminal policemen walked over after bowing one after another. "Really, what are you doing?" When I said that, the other party had already walked in front of me.I also stood up. One of the detectives was about the age of retirement, thin, hunched over, looking up at us, with many wrinkles on his tanned forehead.The other detective has smooth skin and feels a little younger.But upon close inspection, it was found that his face was also covered with wrinkles, and the age of the two criminal policemen may be about the same.

"Excuse me, are you from Ruixiang House? Hello, hello, we are from the Mugong Police Station." The two criminal police took out their police IDs from their suit pockets at the same time, and opened them at the same time, revealing the IDs inside.The older-looking detective is called Tani O (tA-ni-O), and the younger one is called Takeli (tA-ke-nA-shi).Their ages are difficult to tell, and their names are easily confused. "Mr. Tanio, Mr. Takeli, none of you speak with a Kyoto accent." Shinbi pretended to be very familiar and said, and the detective Yanwei squeezed out wrinkles and smiled:

"Both of us were born in Tokyo and grew up in Tokyo. I don't know why we came to such a remote place." "So, we are from the same country—then please come and see it immediately." Saying that, Mabe strode towards the workshop, and the two detectives followed behind him. "This is a fake show and a real strategy." Rin leaned her head closer and said to me, "Sensei often uses this method." I see.Pretend to be a person of interest in order to observe the police search process up close, and at the same time, to understand the search situation. "Okay, then let's go too."

Rin and I also quickly followed behind Mabi.At this time, try to keep your walk and expression as natural as possible, and pretend to be walking in a familiar environment.Just as we passed the workshop and were about to walk towards the parking lot, Torii immediately walked out and said to the criminal police: "They are outsiders." Then he drove us away. "Really, your strategy failed miserably." "That can't be helped, besides, the probability of success of this strategy is very low." "yes?" Shinbi nodded, and Rin followed suit. "Let's sit around the fire and watch the police handle the case."

We obeyed Zhenbei's words and returned to Tang Jianmu's father again. The sweet potato that Father Tang Jianmu put in the fire was just cooked, so we each took it and ate it together.There were five sweet potatoes in total, and there was one more. Father Tang Jianmu said, "Give it to Auntie Yi later." He put the sweet potatoes in the pocket of his overalls. "Ah, it's so warm." While eating sweet potatoes, I observed the actions of the criminal police and forensic personnel.But they finished their investigation in the parking lot for about ten minutes, and then walked into the workshop.

"—not out yet." Rin craned his neck and looked in the direction of the workshop.It has been more than an hour since several criminal policemen went in. "Are you discussing something complicated?" I really used two fingers to hold the beech branch I picked up from the ground, and Tang Jianmu's father watched the flames intently, stirring the fire with wooden boards from time to time, and the surroundings suddenly became very warm. "Why haven't the owner of Songyue and the abbot of Ci'an returned yet?" I felt as if my voice had become far away.My stomach was full, and the heat of the campfire was just right, and my head gradually became dizzy.

"It takes a lot of time just to go back and forth to Kyoto." Mabi's voice seemed to be muffled by the heat from the bathroom. If Songyue came back before the police search was over, there might be another dispute.Although Songyue just said that if you want to call the police, you can call the police, but for some reason—he seems to be opposed to calling the police—it seems... The branches in the fire made a crackling sound, and the warm air enveloped the whole face.The surface of the eyes is very dry, and the eyelids are gradually covering the eyes.The conversation between Mabi and Rin sounded like a dwarf talking in a sealed plastic box, so I couldn't hear it clearly.I--

Into dreamland. I was in a Japanese room surrounded by countless Buddha statues.Big Buddha statues, small Buddha statues. Holding a half-eaten baked sweet potato in his hand, Mabe was spitting out a speech.The audience is Rin, Karamaki Daddy, Maya, Torii, Wei Ze and Songyue.The content of the speech was not clear, but it seemed to be talking about the relationship between toilets and Buddha statues.Hey, wait a minute!Matsuzuki interrupted Mabei's words in a very feminine tone.He stood up and began to retort excitedly.At this moment, Torii interjected and confronted Matsuzuki.Torii and Matsuzuki have a heated debate - large bowl, medium bowl, small bowl?Aunt Yi poked her wrinkled face out from the curtain at some point, and I was about to answer "Little Bowl".

This is where I heard the high-pitched "hum" before.The sound came from the left, and I turned my head to look there. It's mosquitoes.One mosquito—no, two—no, no, three—oh, what happened?A swarm of mosquitoes flew towards me.Countless mosquitoes rushed towards me with piercing flapping sounds.I will be stung!run away!However, I couldn't move my feet.Mosquitoes pounced on my left arm, landed on the back of my hand, landed on my fingertips.Why are mosquitoes so— ... ... ... "What if he falls into the fire?" "You can laugh at him later." "But teacher, in case of an accident that cannot be laughed off..." I opened my eyes and found three people staring at my face with great interest. "Daowei, you can actually fall asleep in this situation." I hurriedly checked to see if there was any drooling, and smiled ambiguously. "Mr. Dao, the expression on your sleeping face just now seems to be in pain." "It may be related to the dream. I had a very strange dream just now." Rin wanted to hear the content of the dream, so I explained it to her while dancing.Rin let out an "oh", a sound of admiration and agreement, and blinked at my face.She obviously didn't know how to answer, so I went on: "Why do you have such a strange dream? In this season, there are no mosquitoes at all. I dreamed that there were a lot of mosquitoes on my arms. It's disgusting... ah." "Daowei, what's wrong?" "When I mentioned mosquitoes, I remembered. Just now when the owner of Songyue changed his work clothes, I saw many small red spots on the inside of his left arm. I don't know what they are." "On the arm of the owner of Songyue House?—Has he been bitten by a mosquito?" "No, it's completely different from being bitten by a mosquito. The red dots are neat, but I can't see them very clearly." "Yeah—I don't know what's going on?" snap.The fire was crackling. After a while, in the quiet winter air, the sound of a car engine came from a distance. "It should be the owner of Songyue and the others." Rin craned his neck.In the parking lot in front of the workshop, a commercial vehicle with the Ruixiangfang logo printed on its body was parked just behind the police vehicle. "Ah, it's terrible. Look, those detectives just came out of the workshop." Detective Yanwei, Detective Takenashi, and staff from the forensics department were standing at the door of the workshop and bowed to the people inside, not knowing what they were talking about.They seem to have ended their work. Songyue got off the driver's seat of the commercial vehicle, and the abbot of Ci'an also got out of the passenger seat, and closed the door forcefully with a bang, bang.Songyue looked at the stranger standing at the door of the workshop—even from a distance, he could clearly see that his expression became serious.He spoke two or three words with the abbot of Ci'an, and then strode towards the workshop.The abbot of Ci'an followed behind him. "Let's go and have a look too." Rin and I stood up at Mabi's call. "Then I'll go too." Father Tang Jianmu also followed.
