Chapter 5 Old Case
"Deal!"
Although fifty thousand yen is not much, it is not too little. It is equivalent to one-third of his savings. It is no less than a help in times of need for Fushimi Shikama.
Seeing that he agreed so simply, Yuan Yuzi wanted to regret it. It wasn't that she felt bad about the money, she just felt that the Fushimi deer wasn't worth the price.
The latter has been a lawyer for more than ten years, and he doesn't even need the other party to speak. He can tell by looking at his expression that the other party wants to default on his debt.
He narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and asked, "Don't you think I'm not worth the price?"
Yuan Yuzi was so shocked that she almost had the words 'how did you know' written on her face.
"Indeed, you have such excellent reasoning ability, and with Kawai escorting you, it seems that there is no place for me to use it!" Fushimi Shika spread his hands, shook his head and sighed: "Don't you think spending 50,000 yen can buy peace of mind? Not worth it?”
"Uh, well, this..."
Yuan Yuzi's eyes wandered, and he poked his index fingers together, not daring to look at her.
That's exactly what she thought.
"Then, let me give you a piece of free advice," Fushimi Lu took a step back as he twitched his leg, "If there really is a "murder case," it would have been at least ten to fifteen years ago. Even if you are the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes, it is impossible to bring the murderer to justice. ”
"Huh? How did you know?" Yuan Yuzi was stunned.
"Use your smart little brain and reason for yourself! Anyway, I'm just a mascot not worth 50,000 yen," Fushimi Shika yawned again. He had stayed up for two nights in a row and was almost sleepy now. Immortality: "Goodbye, I'm going back to sleep."
"Wait!"
Yuan Yuzi swooped down again, trying to hug his calf.
This time Fushimi Shika was already on guard. He stepped back to avoid it, allowing Minamoto Tamako to miss him.
"Speak clearly before we leave! There are no clues at all. How can you conclude that the murder occurred more than ten years ago?"
Yuan Yuzi chased after him and kept fighting for an answer.
Fushimi Shika waved his hand and said impatiently as he walked: "I am not your partner and have no obligation to answer your questions. By the way, the employment fee has now increased to 100,000 yen."
Yuan Yuzi clenched her hands into fists and her cheeks bulged with anger.
According to the setting of mystery novels, Fushimi Shika should be a stupid assistant, while she is a very smart detective. At every critical moment, she had a flash of inspiration and discovered a breakthrough in the case, and then Fushimi Shikama would ask "why" and "what's going on"... until she came up with a wonderful reasoning. During the process, Fushimi clapped and praised, saying, 'I didn't expect it at all', 'It's such a wonderful and perfect reasoning'...
That's right, she spent 50,000 yen just to let Fushimi Shika be the atmosphere team!
When the detective is deducing, if there is no contrast from the ignorant and no praise from the stupid assistant, then there will be no sense of pleasure after deciphering the secret!
Now it is no longer a question of money, but a question of dignity! If she paid this money, it would be equivalent to spending money to ask Fushimi Shika, and she was admitting her ignorance in disguise!
——As a future famous detective and famous police officer, she, Minamoto Tamako, will never allow such a thing to happen!
"Even if you don't tell me, I can deduce it myself!" Yuan Yuzi was not to be outdone.
"Ah, yes, I believe you can do it, come on."
Fushimi Shika pushed open the office door, yawned again before leaving, and reminded: "Don't forget to lock the door when you two leave."
After he left, Minamoto Tamako realized that she was the only one left in the dark office, so she hurriedly went to the women's room to find Kawai.
The latter had just finished urinating and was washing his hands.
Minamoto Tamoko followed her, relayed Fushimi Shika's advice, and then asked: "Kawawai, what do you think?" "What can you tell from just a piece of paper?" Kawai shook his hand and said, "Besides, , I am only good at asking questions, not reasoning.”
Seeing Minamoto Tamako's frustrated face, Kawai comforted him: "Maybe Fushimi-san is just guessing, not necessarily a conclusion drawn by reasoning..."
"Even if it's a guess, it should be well-founded, right?" Minamoto Tamako bit her thumb, "What clues did I ignore? How did Fushimi-san come to this conclusion?"
When the two of them climbed through the window and returned to the dormitory, Yuan Yuzi was lying on the bed, still thinking about this problem over and over.
Why ten to fifteen years?
Does this time period have any special meaning?
That piece of paper was obviously new. It couldn't have been stored for more than ten years without turning yellow... So why?
Yuan Yuzi closed her eyes in a daze.
While half asleep, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and sat up from the bed: "I understand!"
No wonder Fushimi-san would say that it was impossible for her to bring the murderer to justice...
Minamoto Tamako was excited. She had seen through the basis of Fushimi Shika's guess - yes, this was a conclusion based on speculation. For Minamoto Tamako, this was not reasoning at all!
The alarm clock suddenly rang, the morning sun shone through the cracks in the curtains, and a hazy beam of light fell on the ground.
"Huh? How come it's dawn..."
But it doesn’t matter if it’s daybreak, Minamoto Tamako can’t wait to expose Fushimi Lu’s poor speculation!
She washed up hastily, changed her clothes, and went to the playground for her daily inspection.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Because she is relatively short, Yuan Yuzi always stands in the front row. She wanted to turn around and see Fushimi Shika's expression. Unfortunately, the instructor was watching from the front and she didn't have the guts to move.
It wasn't until taking a portrait painting class that Minamoto Tamako had the opportunity to talk to Fushimi Shika.
In full view of everyone, she took the drawing board, quietly moved her chair, and sat next to Fushimi Shika.
All the male students gnashed their teeth and were so jealous that they broke the ends of their pencils.
The ratio of men to women in the police academy is already imbalanced, and it is common for there to be only one or two girls in a class. With more wolves and less meat, Yuan Yuzi, who is already good-looking, naturally has an extra layer of aura blessing. A weak and cute girl like her is like a rabbit in a wolf's den in the police academy where the Showa style prevails.
But Yuan Yuzi was not aware of this.
"Hmph, good morning, Fushimi-san." She greeted with a proud look on her face.
Fushimi Shikajiu looked at him with either hostility or jealousy, and he replied casually: "Good morning."
"Well, I have a new idea about that anonymous letter." Yuan Yuzi lowered her voice and covered her face with a drawing board to prevent other students from eavesdropping.
"Oh." Fushimi Lu used a pencil to draw lines on the white paper.
oh? Oh what do you mean? Yuan Yuzi pouted and continued: "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"No." Fushimi Shika glanced at her.
This guy has the words "Come and ask me" written on his face since the review. It's so understandable.
Yuan Yuzi couldn't hold it in anymore, even if Fushimi Lu didn't ask, she would still say it.
"Ten to fifteen years is the time for prosecution, right?"
She looked up and stared into Fushimi Shika's eyes with bright eyes: "You guessed that the case has passed the prosecution period, so you said that it is impossible to bring the murderer to justice!" ”
