Chapter 284 This kind of person usually won’t survive tonight

On the outskirts of Tokyo, in front of Ogata's house.

Fujino stood at the door, looking at the courtyard in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Judging from the appearance, this courtyard is in Japanese style, with an overall wooden building that has a neon retro feel.

Judging from Fujino's feelings, he is quite similar to those of Shinde Tomaki's family.

It seems that he also comes from a wealthy family.

"sorry for disturbance!"

Yuki Haruna greeted into the room: "I am Yuki Haruna who called before."

"coming!"

A middle-aged woman came to the room saying hello.

But after seeing Fujino, he frowned slightly and said in surprise: "Didn't you come alone?"

"I'm Haruna's friend. I sent her here this time."

Fujino chuckled, looking at the woman with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

I don’t come alone. This sentence is somewhat interesting.

Generally speaking, this kind of reaction should not be expected when receiving guests normally. It seems a bit strange...

Could it be that he was trying to kill her?

Fujino thought for a while and felt that the rice flower people might be able to do this.

If this is the case, then he came to the right place this time.

After all, Haruna's final payment has not yet been settled. If this is given to the shark by the rice flower people, the remaining two hundred thousand will probably become a bad debt.

At the moment Fujino was thinking, a young man wearing a blue shirt and a middle-parted hair walked out of the room: "Mom, you are really anxious. If you have anything to do, we can wait for a while."

The young man's name is Shiro Ogata, the second son of the Ogata family, and the woman just now is the wife of the current head of the family, Kazuko Ogata.

"When Miss Haruna, whom grandpa has always talked about, comes to our house, she naturally needs to be treated well first."

Shiro Ogata seemed a little familiar, "After all, she has been my grandfather's spiritual support over the years..."

"grandfather?"

Fujino and Haruna were both stunned.

Although Haruna thought that the other party was an uncle, he wasn't that old...

They are all grandfathers.

"That's true."

Ogata Kazuko also nodded when he heard this, and then agreed: "No matter what, I have to help put the incense sticks first."

The confused two people followed the mother and son of the Ogata family to a niche in the room of the house.

On the black wooden niche, there is a Buddha statue. In front of the Buddha statue, there is also a tablet of [Ogata Qiuwu].

On the top of the tablet are the black and white portraits of an old man and an old woman.

Obviously, this is a shrine where Neon enshrines the dead in the family, and according to custom, the two people in the photo should be husband and wife.

Fujino raised his eyes and glanced at the coffin: "Is Mr. Qiu Wu dead?"

"Well, my father-in-law left at the end of last year." Ogata Kazuko replied.

"how so……"

Ogata Haruna looked at the portrait on the top, looking a little sad and a little surprised.

Fujino turned around and asked, "Can I take the liberty of asking how Mr. Qiugo passed away?"

"Grandpa died of illness."

Ogata Shiro on the side said, "Speaking of which, even before his death, he still missed Miss Haruna."

"Um, Miss Haruna."

Ogata Kazuko suddenly looked at Haruna, "My father-in-law should have given you a music box before he died, right?"

"Well, Mr. Qiuwu did give me a music box."

Haruna took out the music box from the bag and handed it to the other party, "But I really didn't expect that he was already dead..."

Without even being comforted, Ogata Kazuko took the music box and opened it, looking a little impatient.

As the music box was opened and ethereal music sounded, she seemed a little surprised: "This piece of music is..."

"Come spring."

Before she could finish speaking, the sliding door of the room was opened, and the head of the family, Tsuneo Ogata, wearing a blue shirt, walked in and recalled: "I remember my mother used to play this song a lot."

"Speaking of which, grandma's name is Haruna too."

Ogata Shiro said with emotion, "Grandpa must have connected Miss Haruna with grandma at that time. I remember that he happily told me that Haruna was back. I haven't seen her since grandma passed away three years ago. He was so happy."

"Is that so?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, finally understanding the whole story.

It seems that this commission has nothing to do with the mistress. It’s just that the name Haruna is somewhat similar to the old man’s deceased wife, so he regards her as his sustenance...

But if that's all it is, it still feels a little weird.

This family seems to take the music box very seriously.

But as far as the music box is concerned, it’s not worth much, so in the end…

While Fujino was thinking, Ogata Tsuneo on the side looked at Haruna with some shame: "Um, Miss Haruna, is there nothing else in the music box my father gave you?"

"something else?"

Haruna shook her head, "Mr. Qiuwu, the only thing he gave me was this music box. Did you leave anything in this music box..."

"My dad, he meant stamps or something."

At this time, a man wearing glasses suddenly appeared at the door, "It's the kind of stamps that come in a set of four and are currently worth 200 million yen."

"Brother!"

Ogata Shiro looked at the man resentfully, "What on earth are you talking about."

"Huh, just talk to outsiders."

The man snorted coldly and looked at Yuki Haruna with evil intentions. His tone was a little unpleasant, "I think this woman must have heard about the treasure that grandpa left behind before he died, so she I'll make a special trip here to steal those stamps."

"well?!"

Yuki Haruna was a little aggrieved, "But I don't know about treasures or anything..."

"Okay, you don't have to quibble anymore."

The man interrupted Haruna, "Sooner or later I will take off your vixen mask and let everyone see your true face."

"Have you said enough?"

At this time, Fujino couldn't stand it any longer, looked at the man and said in a deep voice: "Don't you think it's very uncultured to call someone you meet for the first time a vixen, a thief or something like that?"

The man was speechless for a moment, glanced at Fujino and changed the subject: "Who knows if you, the doggy couple who came here together, are here for the treasure?"

"If that's the case, then there's no need for us to continue talking."

The client was bullied and he was also implicated. Fujino's face darkened a bit, "We don't know the treasure you are talking about. We are here just to return the music box. If this is your hospitality Zhidao, Haruna and I will leave now."

Speaking of this, Fujino's aura surged, and the temperature in the room even dropped a lot. He took two steps forward and said in a deep voice: "But before that, you have to apologize to us."

"it's nothing……"

At this time, Haruna also noticed something was wrong, and quickly came over to grab Fujino.

"Nen!"

At this time, Tsuneo Ogata, the head of the family, couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly smoothed things over and said in a deep voice to the man named Minoru: "No matter what, I am still a guest. Miss Haruna is still your grandfather's friend during his lifetime. You say so." This is too much, please apologize quickly!"

"sorry……"

Minoru Ogata said helplessly, then turned and left.

"I'm really sorry. This kid, Nen, hasn't been doing well in the company recently and he's been very irritable. I'm sorry."

Tsuneo Ogata sighed and apologized: "If possible, you two can stay here for dinner tonight, as an apology for what happened just now."

"Ms. Haruna?"

Fujino didn't pay attention to that kind of person, because in his impression, such people would generally not survive tonight, and turned to Haruna to ask.

…………

After returning the music box, Fujino and Haruna were left at Ogata's house for dinner.

After dinner, it started to rain and the sky gradually became dark.

Originally, Fujino planned to drive home directly, but Haruna didn't care too much. Instead, she wanted to stay here for one night.

He, who was pretending to be a traveler, could only call home and tell Miyano Akemi that he would have to stay here for the whole night.

The patter of rain came from outside and entered the room through the paper sliding door.

Fujino was lying on the quilt on the tatami floor, with his hands around the back of his head, feeling a little depressed.

There is no air conditioning in this Japanese-style courtyard room. The only breeze from the fan placed in the room, like the furnishings, cannot take away the irritating feeling of humidity and heat at all.

Moreover, the old electric fan is very noisy. This sound buzzes in the ears, making the already noisy environment even noisier.

In fact, these are nothing. With Fujino's endurance, he can get by with patience.

The key is……

His room was the room with the shrine before!

Fujino glanced at the niche in the corner of the room with a strange look on his face.

Although he is not afraid of ghosts and gods, it does make people feel a bit hairy to sleep in such a close quarters with someone else's ancestral hall.

Fujino sighed, closed his eyes, and recalled what happened at the dinner table just now, trying to divert his attention.

He didn't have a very good impression of the family.

Ogata Tsuneo was okay, but he was a little bit shy. Ogata Shirou was always polite, but I didn't know why he always liked to stare at him and Haruna.

Ogata Kazuko had a feeling of intrigue, and Ogata Minoru was openly targeting him.

Judging from the family's reaction, Fujino analyzed that what they were looking for were some valuable stamps that Qiu Wu hid before he died.

The secret secret of the stamp is most likely hidden in the music box, which is why this family is so weird.

If this is the case, then those previous messages should also have been sent by them.

Just at the dinner table, these people had been asking Haruna about the stamps. He didn't say a word and even he was involved...

Actually, it's true when you think about it. After all, it's 200 million yen, which is a huge sum of money.

"ah!"

While Fujino was thinking, a scream suddenly came from next door.

He raised his head and opened his eagle eyes, but frowned, looking a little confused.

In Hawkeye's world, Haruna's vital signs were still there, and there was nothing else around that could threaten her.

But why the screaming?

No one died either...

Fujino opened the sliding door next door with doubts: "Ms. Haruna, what happened?"

"Just now, I saw a dark figure walking quickly to the left in the corridor..."

Haruna huddled in the corner, pointing at the corridor in front of her, looking scared.

"Dark Shadow?"

Fujino opened the sliding door of the corridor, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

Under the observation of Eagle Vision, no vital signs were captured around him.

But it wasn't that nothing was found.

Fujino walked to the side window and pulled off a piece of black paper cut into the shape of an old man.

Then, he raised his head and glanced at the half-open door outside the window, and quickly figured out what was going on.

'It seems that this family is a bit dishonest...'

Fujino thought to himself, then turned around, pulled the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling of Haruna's room, and comforted: "This is just a prank."

"mischief?"

At this time, Haruna also calmed down and looked at Fujino doubtfully.

"Um."

Fujino showed the black paper to Haruna, "Ms. Haruna, what you just saw should be something with this shape, right?"

"That's right! What I just saw is a person with this shape."

Haruna nodded, "But the figure I just saw can move."

"It's just an optical illusion created by using light."

Fujino glanced out the window of the corridor: "The door outside is open. As long as a car drives by, the light of the car lights will shine in. As the light deflects, the figure will also move."

"So that's it, you are indeed Detective Fujino..."

Haruna understood immediately when she heard it, "But who on earth would make such a joke?"

"From the beginning, I felt something was wrong with this family."

Fujino said solemnly: "Their purpose of doing this may be to prevent you from snooping on the stamps left by Mr. Qiu Wu. Those previous text messages should also have been sent by them."

"well?!"

Haruna was surprised for a moment, and then said a little lowly: "But I have no idea of ​​​​wanting those stamps... I have obviously already explained it."

"This is 200 million yen. Some people will kill people for this money."

Fujino glanced at Haruna and felt that this college student was too naive, "Even if you don't, they won't believe that you don't have any ideas about the 200 million yen..."

"Excuse me, what happened?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ogata Shirou hurried over, followed by Ogata Kazuko and Ogata Tsuneo.

"nothing……"

Fujino glanced at a few people, but did not see Ogata Minoru's figure, "It was just someone who pasted black paper on the glass, which scared Miss Haruna just now."

"Who on earth is pulling such a silly prank..."

Ogata Shiro took the black paper and took a look at it, and suddenly remembered something, "Isn't it brother who did it?"

"If you think about it carefully, you two brothers seem to have been frightened by this kind of thing before... But Ren won't make such low-level jokes.

Ogata Kazuko seemed to be in a daze. As she spoke, she walked towards the sliding door on the other side of the room, and opened the sliding door along the way. "It seems that some people who lived here have said that they have encountered similar things before. Shouldn't they?" Could it be that children from other families nearby broke in and played mischief?"

"That may be the case..."

Ogata Tsuneo also looked a little strange.

"Boom!"

At this time, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly came.

What followed was a sound of strings breaking apart.
