Chapter 285: It’s a Pity that the Person Is Not Dead Yet

"Ding! A new detective career mission has been detected, please check it carefully!"

Hearing this, Fujino turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Are there really no people left?

This place called Mihua is indeed quite evil.

Fujino looked at the light curtain that suddenly appeared in front of him:

[Detective Career Mission: Mystery’s Stay

Mission goal: Solve the mystery that happened to the Ogata family

Mission reward: 500,000 yen, 50 detective reputation]

'Only five hundred thousand...'

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, 'The rewards for this mission are a bit small... Could it be that the person is not dead? ’

"That direction...could it be from the room where my mother still kept the guqin when she was alive?"

Ogata Tsuneo turned his head, and combined with the sound of the strings breaking, he could tell at once which direction it was coming from.

…

Several people came to the door of the room.

The sliding door of the room was opened, and into the dimly lit room, a figure was knocked to the ground by a xylophone, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Fujino looked at the vital signs that still existed in front of him with eagle eyes, which seemed to be expected.

Sure enough, as he thought, the person is not completely dead yet.

Pity.

"Amin!"

The people of the Ogata family recognized the figure at a glance. It was the same Ogata Minoru from before.

Seeing their family members lying on the ground, looking like they didn't know whether to live or die, everyone looked frightened.

"How are you, Min?"

Ogata Tsuneo hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, looking a little worried.

"What happened?"

At this time, Ogata Kazuko, who didn't know what he was doing, also followed him and looked into the room in confusion.

"Brother, he got hit by the xylophone!"

Ogata Shiro hurriedly explained.

"ah?!"

Ogata Kazuko screamed in surprise, covered his mouth, his face turned pale, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Didi!"

At this time, the sound of the BB camera in Haruna's pocket suddenly sounded.

The sharp sound was particularly harsh in the silent room, and combined with the sound of rain coming from outside, it gave an eerie feeling.

"ah--!"

Haruna glanced at the content on the BB camera and immediately let out a scream in response to the situation.

"Um?"

Fujino turned his head and glanced at Haruna in confusion.

Is this reaction too slow?

Shouldn't it be right to shout just now?

"This...this is..."

Haruna swallowed and stared at the BB screen, looking like she couldn't believe it, "Mr. Qiu Wu's message!"

"Mr. Qiuwu's message?"

Fujino stepped forward and took a look, and saw a text suddenly appearing on the BB camera: [Haruna, I have been waiting for you for a long time. 】

Obviously, this text message was definitely not sent by someone who had been dead for such a long time.

Fujino felt that there was a high probability that it was the same prank as before.

"Is it another prank?"

Fujino glanced back at Ogata Kazuko and already knew what was going on.

Although I'm not sure yet, this woman should be the only one who has time to send text messages.

The BB machine can actually communicate with a mobile phone. While everyone was checking the situation, it was not impossible for her to use her mobile phone to send this text message.

But this guy who got hit with the xylophone...

After retracting his thoughts, Fujino slowly walked towards Ogata Minoru and said, "Hey, you are not dead yet, right?"

"Well...of course I'm not dead yet."

Ogata Minoru seemed to have been awakened by the scream just now, so he sat up and complained.

"Brother, what happened?"

At this time, Ogata Shiro on the side couldn't help but asked him.

"How would I know..."

He climbed up from the floor with difficulty, covered his forehead that was still bleeding, and gritted his teeth from the severe pain. "I didn't know what it was just now, but it suddenly knocked me unconscious."

"Amin, could it be the guqin that knocked you unconscious just now?"

Ogata Tsuneo looked at the guqin aside and guessed.

"probably……"

Minoru Ogata glanced at Guqin, and then looked at Fujino, his eyes full of doubts: "The person who hit me with a hard object just now, could it be you two?"

Fujino: "..."

It was a pity that this man was not killed.

"no!"

Haruna heard the words and explained continuously: "Fujino was in my room because of the black shadow's prank at that time, and everyone rushed over after that."

"That's right."

Everyone present nodded.

Ogata Minoru covered his aching head: "Then who else can there be except you..."

"Didn't you see clearly who hit you?"

Fujino asked him in a deep voice: "After all, judging from your wounds, the other party should have attacked from the front. Logically speaking, you should have seen his appearance..."

"The room was so dark at the time, how could I see clearly."

Minoru Ogata complained bitterly, "I heard something moving at that time, and when I turned around to look, I was hit."

"Didn't you see anything clearly?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why are you so sure it's us if you didn't see it?"

"Who else in your family would attack me?"

Ogata Minoru gave a reasonable guess, which is quite self-aware.

"Well, it makes sense. If I wanted to knock you out, I would probably do the same... but the method must be better." Fujino pursed his chin.

Ogata Minoru: "..."

Everyone present: "..."

So you often do this kind of thing of knocking people out?

From what you said, it seems that you are not satisfied with that person's method?

After a short silence, Ogata Kazuko suddenly said: "Since both of them have alibis, could it be that someone sneaked into our house and knocked Minoru out?!"

"Could it be a thief?"

"It's possible."

"After all, someone just did that kind of prank..."

Everyone agreed with Ogata Kazuko's proposal.

Only Fujino felt something was wrong.

Because from beginning to end, he did not catch the figure of other people.

There was only this family in this house.

And from his point of view, these actions were more like intimidation than wanting to kill people...

The target of intimidation was Haruna.

As for why Ogata Minoru didn't sleep at night and ran into this room to commit suicide...

Fujino felt that it should be related to the stamps.

According to his guess, Ogata Minoru's purpose of running over in the dark should be to take the guqin for himself.

After all, Ogata Haruna's favorite song to play on the guqin when she was alive was "Spring is Coming".

Combined with the music box, he should think that the stamps are on the guqin.

As for who the mastermind is, Fujino can't judge.

Judging from the way he knocked people, the other party didn't have any soul at all. The method was too unfamiliar. There was no art and beauty in knocking people, and even no soul.

Rather than knocking, it's better to say it's smashing...

It should be a mechanism made by some method, which fished the guqin into the air and then smashed it down.

As for the ritual music... the strings collapsed, which should be caused by that mechanism.

…………

Several people in the Ogata family called the police, and the nearby police soon arrived at the scene.

After an investigation outside the room, no useful clues were found.

It was raining, and the surrounding yards became muddy.

Generally speaking, if someone passes through such a muddy yard, there will definitely be traces left.

However, there were no traces of intrusion around the yard.

The possibility of outsiders invading was quickly ruled out.

After a fruitless patrol outside, everyone turned to search inside.

Fujino took this opportunity to investigate the system task that had just been released.

From the perspective of uncovering the mystery, the system's goal should be to let him find out who is the mastermind of these pranks, or the real culprit who smashed Ogata Minoru.

At that time, Ogata's family was in Haruka's room, and it was unlikely that they would do it themselves.

Fujino guessed that the man should have used a mechanism or something similar...

A mechanism that allows him to do it in Haruka's room.

Fujino thought and came to Haruka's room.

He looked around and then turned on Hawkeye again.

With the enhancement of Hawkeye's vision, he soon found some clues.

- Hairpins scattered on the ground.

"Hairpin?"

Fujino squatted down and picked it up from the ground. He thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized: "Is that the case?"

…………

After searching for a while, the crowd did not find any thieves and came to Haruna's room to meet up.

"Where were you and your wife before the incident?" The young policeman asked Ogata Tsuneo as usual.

"At that time, my wife, my second son and I were chatting in the kitchen."

"Wasn't your son who was hit on the head in the kitchen with you?"

"Well, I thought he was taking a shower at that time."

Ogata Tsuneo sighed, "But who knew he would be attacked..."

"Is that so?"

The young policeman thought for a while, raised his head and asked the two people: "Can I ask what you were talking about in the kitchen at that time?"

"He was educating the two of us in the kitchen at that time..."

Ogata Kazuko chuckled, "He said that it was rare for Miss Haruna to come, but we two still had to ask questions, which was really too rude."

"Dig questions?" The policeman was a little confused.

"Well, actually, the old man and I are friends who met through the pager." Haruna explained, "They asked about things we talked about before." "That's right, you three are really too much." Ogata Shiro looked at the old couple speechlessly, "Just like my brother, it's like interrogating a prisoner." "Actually, it's nothing." Haruna didn't seem to care about it, and said softly, "I also started collecting stamps under the influence of Mr. Akigo. It's good to talk more and get to know him better... [I asked if I could come here again at that time?] So I didn't really take this matter to heart." 'As expected of a college student in the Department of Fine Arts...' Fujino glanced at Haruna speechlessly, then coughed lightly, "Come to think of it, I actually already know who knocked Ogata Minoru unconscious." "Huh?" Everyone looked back in surprise. Haruna looked as if she had expected it. After all, she is a famous detective. "You already know who knocked Mr. Minoru?"

The police officer walked up and felt that Fujino looked familiar: "Excuse me, are you..."

"I'm Fujino."

"Fujino?!"

The police officer was stunned when he heard this, then shook Fujino's hand and said excitedly: "Are you the famous detective Fujino?! I've heard of him for a long time."

"Detective……"

"Fujino?!"

Everyone present was surprised.

"Actually speaking, this case is also related to Miss Haruna..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Fujino reasoned: "The purpose of asking Miss Haruna like this is actually for those stamps worth 200 million yen. Am I right?"

"Stamps worth 200 million yen?"

The police officer on the side said in surprise.

"Yes, my grandfather actually collected four stamps worth 200 million yen during his lifetime."

On the side, Minoru Ogata did not dare to make a mistake in front of the famous detective. Recalling what happened just now, he always felt that the detective in front of him used a special method to hit him. He answered honestly: "Originally, we have those stamps. I bought a lot of things...but when I checked the stamp collection, I found that the stamps were missing. I searched the whole house but couldn't find them."

Having said this, he turned to look at Ogata Shirou: "The only one who is not worried is probably my grandson who was my favorite during his lifetime."

"Is this why you are questioning Haruna?"

Fujino looked around at everyone: "The stamps are missing. You subconsciously suspect that Mr. Qiugo has given them to her."

"It is indeed the case."

Ogata Minoru nodded, "To be honest, I still doubt this."

The Ogata couple on the side couldn't help but lowered their heads in shame.

"But, I really never got those stamps..."

Haruna said helplessly: "I don't even know the existence of these stamps."

"Who knows if you are pretending."

Minoru Ogata got sick again, "He actually brought a famous detective here... I see you..."

"Um?"

Fujino's eyes gradually became sharp.

"Well……"

Ogata Minoru was speechless.

"Actually, Haruna's purpose of bringing me here was not to search for treasures. Before that, she came here and asked me to find Mr. Qiu Wu and return the music box. I just sent her here along the way."

"We've heard of that music box too."

Minoru Ogata thought: "It should have been given to her secretly by my grandfather during Christmas the year before last."

"The year before last?"

Haruna said in surprise: "But I only got this music box for Christmas last year."

"How can it be."

Ogata Tsuneo looked a little worried and said: "My father passed away on December 6 last year. It is impossible to give away the music box."

"Don't say you went out to meet secretly."

Ogata Kazuko echoed: "Since the spring of the year before last, he has been hospitalized and has lost the ability to move,"

"Well, if that's the case, then since Mr. Qiu Wu lost his ability to move, someone should have taken his place in communicating with Miss Haruna..."

Fujino looked at Ogata Shiro: "What I said is right, Shiro."

Everyone present was surprised when they heard this, and all turned their attention to Zhiro.

"Actually, Grandpa asked me to..."

Ogata Shiro looked at Fujino, his face was a little confused, then he lowered his head, took a deep breath and said: "He doesn't want Haruna to be alone like grandma, so he asked me to continue to comfort Miss Haruna on his behalf after he is hospitalized..."

Fujino: "..."

What kind of good grandfather in the world should you go and find the target for your great grandson yourself?

"Ahem."

Fujino coughed quickly, interrupting the bloody drama happening in front of him: "Speaking of Ogata Minoru, the reason why you went to that room before was actually to find the guqin, right?"
