He and Ma carefully looked at the girl in front of him. He was pretty good in face and general in Figure - this is generally the conclusion drawn by comparing the girls with their own flat model figure.


    "That''s interesting," he Ma said. "Do you always think your friend Watanabe was killed by him?"


    The girl hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "yes. It''s inconvenient to speak here. Can we speak somewhere else? "


    Then the girl looked at some white water marks on Baifeng Qingliu''s clothes and said, "ah, I''ll wait in the room. You can deal with your own affairs first."


    Then she began to step back.


    "Then I''ll go first. I live in room 217. "


    And Ma and Qingliu didn''t have time to say a word, and the girl ran away.


    Qingliu looked puzzled: "why did she run so fast? When ordinary people meet a ''detective'' who can ask for help, shouldn''t it be this reaction? "


    And the horse looked at Qingliu and understood: "Qingliu, wipe your place with paper. Yes, it''s here."


    As he spoke, he drew his hand on himself.


    Qingliu looked down in doubt.


    "Lying trough, this is just spilled with milk!"


    "Yes, but obviously Miss chisi didn''t see your milk spilled. She must have thought... "And Ma shut up and smiled at Qingliu without saying anything.


    "If others misunderstand, what do you mean? Asshole! Pervert! " Qingliu took out a paper towel to wipe the stains on the bathrobe while issuing curses that would excite proud lovers.


    And Ma: "can I help you?"


    "Stay away from me, pervert!" Qingliu raised his foot to kick the leg bones of he ma, and was quickly avoided.


    HEMA: "well, I''ll die far away. Miss chisi just invited me to her room. I''m leaving!"


    "Wait a minute, I''ll go too!" Qingliu threw the paper towel into the trash can and ran to catch up with his horse.


    **


    When chixifeng opened the door, he accidentally looked at Qingliu behind HEMA.


    "This is my apprentice, now guest assistant." He explained to Ma, "and the white trace you just saw is actually when you drink milk..."


    "Aren''t you more suspicious of your special explanation?" Qingliu interrupted HEMA. It seemed that if Chixi wasn''t in front of him, he would kick HEMA directly.


    "In short, my relationship with Qingliu is not like that."


    Chixifeng looked at Qingliu, "Oh" and stepped back: "please come in."


    He and Ma entered the room and looked around: "Miss Chixi lives in such a big house alone?"


    "This is the smallest room in the hotel." Miss Chixi smiled, "we fantasize that there are no other girls in the biology research society. The boys squeeze a room and I sleep by myself. I also want to sleep with other girls. In this way, I can talk about something."


    Surprised with Ma, the woman naturally used the technique of "Versailles literature"!


    Miss Chixi pointed to the small tea table by the window: "sit over there. I''ve just boiled water. When the water boils, I''ll make tea and serve it."


    And the horse nodded, came to the tea table and sat cross legged on the cushion.


    According to etiquette, the room of a woman he just met should be sitting upright, but he ma hates Japanese sitting upright and thinks it is a kind of torture. As long as he doesn''t force sitting upright, he will sit cross legged.


    Qingliu was supposed to be sitting. When she looked at crossing her legs with the horse, she thought and wanted to sit cross legged on her left hand side with the horse. As a result, as soon as her ass touched the cushion, she felt as if it was wrong, so she changed to duck sitting.


    He Ma: "you''re not a rock girl. It''s nothing to sit cross legged like a man."


    "That was me before." Qingliu answered.


    Looking at Miss Chixi, who was still guarding the kettle to make tea with Ma, felt that it would take some time to start business over there, so she continued to chat with Qingliu: "what are you now?"


    "An ordinary adolescent girl." Qingliu answered.


    "Really? It doesn''t look like it. "


    "Even if you look blatantly at my chest, I won''t be angry because of this."


    If you cheat, you will be angry. Fools can see that you are angry!


    At this time, Miss Chixi came over with a tray: "I simply made some tea. I hope Mr. Tongsheng doesn''t mind."


    "Thank you." After taking tea with Ma, he took a polite SIP and put down the tea cup.


    Qingliu didn''t even take that SIP and put down the tea cup directly. According to her appearance, the tea cup should be too hot.


    Miss Chixi sat opposite the horse: "although Mr. Tongsheng already knows my name, let me formally introduce myself. My name is chixifeng. I''m a sophomore at Meiji University. I''m a member of the fantasy Biology Research Association. "


    "Tong Sheng and ma." And Ma''s self introduction is simple and clear. Anyway, it''s a formality.


    Qingliu: "I''m Tongsheng''s disciple, Baifeng Qingliu."


    "I know, Miss Bai Fenghui, newspapers and magazines have published a lot of stories about you and teacher Tongsheng."


    Qingliu: "then you should know that most of the news is false?"


    He Ma: "don''t kill all the news with one stick. There are still journalists who insist on reporting the truth."


    "Yes?"


    "Yes." And Ma are not sure, "it''s off the subject. Our business is not important. What matters is your business, miss chisy. You always thought Watanabe was killed by him? Why? "


    Miss Chixi''s eyes dropped, and her hands on the tea table covered the cup full of hot tea.


    That cup must be very hot. I just took the cup with Ma. Naturally, I know this.


    But miss chisi seemed completely unaware of the fact that the tea cup was very hot.


    She stared at the tea stem floating in the cup, as if looking for the upright tea stem representing good luck - in Japan, the upright tea stem in tea represents that good things will happen.


    And Ma: "Miss chisi?"


    "It was the God of the shrine who killed Watanabe." Chixi suddenly whispered.


    "Oh?" He ma expressed his feeling at the moment with a long 90 degree turn, "why do you think so? Don''t talk about women''s intuition. We''ll talk about evidence. "


    "Because Watanabe found that God was abnormal." Miss chisi continued.


    "What''s wrong?" And the horse leaned forward and pressed their elbows on the tea table.


    Miss chisi thought for a moment and said, "I''d better start from the beginning.


    "We are the fantasy Biology Research Association. Outsiders think we are a group of silly hats who focus on looking for hammer snakes, but in fact, we mainly study the realistic origin and evolution of various fantasy creatures. For example, we studied the formation and evolution of the legend before yuzao."


    When he ma heard this, he suddenly wanted to tell the girl: "you are busy in vain, because yuzao was not a legend before, she really exists..."


    But he didn''t speak. After all, it''s not good to interrupt others.


    Miss Chixi continued: "last year, Mr. Watanabe and Mr. ODA were new members of the Research Association. We came from the same high school..."


    "Three high schools from Meiji University in the same year?" Qingliu interrupted Miss Chixi.


    It''s reasonable to say that she can''t interrupt as a woman''s family on the horse side at this time, but the rock girl doesn''t follow the rules of Japan.


    Miss Chixi tilted her head: "yes, what''s the problem?"


    "Isn''t that a super difficult university?"


    "It''s really difficult, but I''m studying in a famous private school with a high enrollment rate. Our school has people who go to six schools in Tokyo every year. "


    He Ma: "this is the case with famous private schools. For example, Beigao, which I studied in high school, is an ordinary public high school. In the same session, there are two Dongda, one qingyingyi school and one Shangzhi school. That''s a miracle. Miss chisi, you go on. "


    Chixifeng nodded, "OK. We went to Meiji University from the same private high school. In high school, we were the psychic department, keen to explore the causes of urban legends... "


    Huh? How do you feel a little familiar with the activities of this psychic department?


    "... so when we arrived at Meiji University, we were very interested when we saw the recruitment of fantasy Biology Research Association.


    "Of course, we went to the psychic Department of Meiji University First, and found that there were real psychic enthusiasts who were keen to share all kinds of urban legend information.


    "After we felt that the psychic Department of Meiji University was not suitable for us, we went to the fantasy Biology Research Association and stayed until now."


    And Ma: "you stayed until now."


    "No, Minister Takei said he would never remove Mr. Watanabe and Mr. ODA from the Department roster. It doesn''t matter. Last summer vacation, we saw a report on the discovery of hammer snake in a tabloid. The location was near here.


    "Minister Takei immediately went to book a hotel room. Unexpectedly, all the hotels in the ''discovery place'' were booked by lovers looking for hammer snakes.


    "At this time, the minister saw the advertising leaflet of the hot spring street and thought that the geographical difference was more than ten kilometers. If there was a hammer snake, its habitat must also include the hot spring street.


    "If there is no hammer snake, maybe we can investigate the folk customs related to it here."


    He Ma: "as a result, when you came, you found that only demon foxes who like to eat children''s hearts and livers exist here."


    Miss Chixi smiled: "yes, and it''s a common legend in rural areas to scare children to go home early. On the first day we came here, we knew it would be empty this time.


    "But minister Takei said that the funds were spent and we had to do something. Otherwise, it would be like an asshole who cheated the funds to come out to eat, drink and have fun. So we began to go up the mountain to find the hammer snake every day and have the right to exercise."


    Qingliu: "you''re a long enough synopsis."


    "Er, this..."


    He Ma: "well, this detail is a very important part of understanding the truth."


    In fact, he wanted to know about the discovery of hammer snake last year, but there was no Internet in 1981. He couldn''t easily find a lot of information by typing a few keywords in the search engine.


    He can only ask Miss chisi, "did you leave the bottom of the report on the hammer snake that led you to start this hot spring trip last year?"


    "Yes, I have been collecting relevant evidence since I suspected that Watanabe was killed by him. I cut and pasted this report on my newspaper clipping book."


    Miss chisi stood up, searched through her luggage by the door, came over with a newspaper clipping wrapped in a simple book cover, opened one of the pages and put it in front of the horse.


    "That''s the report."


    He glanced at Ma and nodded: "OK, I don''t know what''s the use, but please keep this newspaper clippings. Let''s go back to the topic just now. How did Watanabe find that God is abnormal? What is the abnormality? "


    Miss Chixi nodded: "the three of us, when we were in high school, were keen to investigate the causes of various legends. The story of the evil fox told by the wives of Wenquan street looks ordinary, but we still conducted an investigation. Then we found an interesting thing. "


    "What''s interesting?" He and Ma cooperate very well to ask questions in this place.


    "The legend of the evil fox on the hot spring street seems to have formed after the Kanto earthquake in the Dazheng period."


    He Ma: "what we heard is that this place used to have the tradition of sending children who could not afford to leave in the mountains and forests, but it basically disappeared after the Meiji Restoration. It didn''t relapse until it entered a difficult period again after the Kanto earthquake."


    "The man who said it also warned you not to sing the passage song in the mountains, didn''t he?" Miss chisi said.


    "Eh, yes. Are you also a detective? " Joked with the horse.


    But chixifeng was very serious and didn''t mean to joke: "we also heard this last year. But we heard more.


    "We have visited grandma Noda in Wenquan street many times to help her clean the house and cook. We used to use this method to win over the old people when we asked them about those ancient legends.


    "This time it worked. When we asked mother-in-law Noda where she heard the legend of the demon fox, she told us that it was not a legend. She saw it with her own eyes when she was a child. She woke up one night and heard a noise in her neighbor''s house. She got up and lay on the window to look out.


    "As a result, she saw the white haired fox come out of the neighbor''s house and hold the sleeping neighbor''s child in her arms.


    "The demon fox saw her, and opened his mouth to show his fangs. She was so frightened that she shouted and crawled away from the window.


    "Then the demon fox began to knock on the window, and the shadows of everything in the room seemed to come alive at the same time..."


    Miss Chixi stopped and gasped. It seemed that the scene just described made her a little out of breath.


    A moment later, she said, "when Mrs. Noda talked about this scene, it was really scary. I couldn''t even reproduce one tenth of her."


    And Ma: "I think it''s OK."


    Chixifeng shook his head again and again, then took a deep breath for several times, and then said, "we are very excited by mother Noda''s words, because we feel that we have found some ''different things'' this time. When we investigated supernatural legends before, we have never encountered such a situation that the'' witness'' has directly told us."


    And Ma Xin thought, before I introduce you to the real yuzao later, she can tell you a lot of stories she experienced.


    "Mr. Watanabe went to the shrine to inquire about the situation according to our previous practice of community activities. Because shrines often record local legends, which is originally one of the duties of priests. In some places, shrines are also responsible for writing local chronicles. "


    This situation seems to be common outside China.


    The characters in most areas are basically in the hands of nobles and divine officials. It is rare in the world that such a poor family in China can also read and even obtain meritorious officials to prime ministers.


    Japan has studied China for hundreds of years, but many powerful places have not learned at all. In rural Japan like this, before the Meiji Restoration, perhaps only the Magi could read. Naturally, all local chronicles were written by the Magi.


    And Ma: "so what did Watanabe see at the shrine, right?"


    "Yes. When he came back from the shrine that day, his expression was very ugly. I asked him what had happened. He didn''t say anything. He just said that he was tired and wanted to take a bath and sleep, so he went into men''s soup.


    "I was worried about him, so I asked ODA to take a bath and ask him what happened. ODA agreed, took a change of clothes and went into the men''s soup, while I went to the women''s soup to take a bath and listen to their movements. Nothing happened.


    "When I came out, they had washed and sat on the bench at the door of the bathhouse. One of them took a can of milk and drank more than half of it. They looked dignified."


    And Ma and Qingliu looked at each other, and then said in a speculative tone, "then, I guess something happened to them the next day."


    Miss chisi nodded seriously, "yes. Before entering the mountain that day, Watanabe and ODA were talking seriously and avoiding me. As soon as I went over, they began to talk about pornographic jokes, which is absolutely not the case with them.


    "Then I crossed my heart and shouted to them, ''don''t crowd me out!''“ As a result, Watanabe came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "don''t worry, it''s no big deal."“ Then they... "Miss Chixi lay on the table and began to cry. He ma suddenly asked, "I heard that you vomited out when you were waiting for the news of the search and rescue team when you came down from the mountain that day. Are you nervous?" Miss chisi cried and said, "of course! I had a terrible feeling that my stomach was cramping. And I was very thirsty at that time. I kept drinking water and threw up. "“ Was it hot last year? " Ask the horse“ It should be... Not as hot as this year. Why are you asking? " Miss chisi raised her head and looked at the horse in doubt“ You said you were thirsty, maybe it was hot? " Miss chisi shook her head, "I don''t know. It may also be that they are so nervous that they want to drink water. Many people eat when they are nervous. It may be that kind of reaction. " And the horse nodded, "I see. So you always doubt what Watanabe saw at the shrine, and then he was killed by the God. "“ That''s it. " It''s interesting to think with Ma Xin. The God also suspects that Mr. Watanabe was killed by him, and judging from the God''s words, it seems that he has a good relationship with Mr. Watanabe. Well... And the horse touched their chin and fell into meditation.
