It's too difficult to fall in love with rewards

Chapter 13 13. Famous Sword and Tengu

After a few minutes, Patriarch Tachibana left and returned, followed by a woman with a saucer.

She is nearly fifty years old, and the mighty demeanor she walked over in a plain kimono with foot bags on her feet reminded people of a samurai wife who appeared in Kabuki.

Judging from that face, she must have been a beauty when she was young, but now that her charm is gone, she lacks a little brilliance.

Tangerine clearly remembered.

This is Mrs. Tachibana, a woman with a firm style and a strong attitude.

"Both please."

Mrs. Tachibana put the saucer on the table.

There are two cups of green tea in the saucer, which are exuding the fragrance of tea.

"Thank you ma'am."

Tachibana Qingxue replied politely.

She held a cup of tea with both hands, and was about to ask a question, but Ju Qingxian spoke before her: "Aunt Lihua, long time no see."

Madam Lihua glanced at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Why is Ah Qing here?"

There is something in the words: why are you with this woman?
"I heard from my father that Brother Chun said he was missing, so I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you." Ju Qingxian smiled innocently and ignorantly. When I met this sister detective, I went in with her."

"Thank you, Qing, for your concern. I'm fine." Mrs. Tachibana stared straight ahead, not only her gaze, her posture, but even her little finger didn't move.She maintained this posture and spoke in a loud voice, "The matter about Xiaochun has been handed over to the police. You two just sit here for a while and leave after lunch."

Patriarch Lihua, who had been silent all this time, said hesitantly: "This is too rude. No matter what Miss Orange said, she came to help us..."

"Of course I know about this little thing."

"We should..."

"Just let me arrange it!"

Ju Qingxue remained silent, watching the couple argue.

"As masters, we should treat each other with courtesy."

"I'm not as rigid as you!"

"You are always so strong, no wonder Xiaochun is dissatisfied!" Patriarch Lihua's voice was unexpectedly high, "It was the same that day, isn't it just to buy a knife, you need to be so strict..."

Mrs. Lihua frowned, her face was livid: "I think you are old and confused!"

Hearing this scolding sound, Patriarch Tachibana shrank his jaw slightly and turned sideways habitually.

"How can the scandal at home be publicized in front of outsiders!" Mrs. Li Hua said resolutely and scolded.

This woman is still as strong as ever... Ju Qingxian watched with interest.

Patriarch Lihua's objection was quickly suppressed by his wife, as if feeling a little ashamed, he fell silent with his head sullen.

Then, Mrs. Tachibana turned her head and grinned at Tachibana Qingxue: "I'm really sorry, I don't have any information for you here."

This is really not the behavior of a mother who is anxious to find her son.

Tachibana Qingxue felt a little helpless.

The few times she came to Li Hua's house before, she also encountered this kind of situation where the family members did not cooperate, and it seemed that she would return without success today.

"Excuse me, we are now..."

Ju Qingxue just said her farewell in the middle, but Ju Qingxian suddenly ran off the sofa and ran towards the knife holder in the corner.

The imitation Echizen Yasuke of the sunflower pattern is quietly lying on the knife holder, the blade is beautiful, and the forging process is exquisite; even if it is just an imitation knife, the price will not be low.

Tachibana Qingxian quietly looked at the shape of the whole knife, and found that the word "Fuqian" was engraved on the bottom of the handle.

Is it the name of Daofang?

Or is it the name of the knife blacksmith?

Maybe it could be a clue... Ju Qingxian took out his phone and took a few photos for the background.

Mrs. Tachibana frowned slightly.

"Ah Qing?" Ju Qingxue called out in doubt.

"Wow, that's cool!"

The exaggerated exclamation of a child seeing a heart-moving toy rang in the ears of adults.

Facing Ju Qingxian's actions, Ju Qingxue let him act on his own as soon as he thought about it.

It should be just a child's playfulness... Mrs. Lihua was a little confused, but Patriarch Lihua coughed and said, "That knife was bought on the day Xiaochun disappeared. When I took it home, I told me He said something strange like 'a famous sword matches a tengu'."

You are a tengu holding an umbrella... Ju Qingxian felt a little funny, and looked back at him: "This knife is expensive, right?"

Hearing this question, Patriarch Tachibana's eyes trembled, and he replied distressedly: "6000 million yen, I can't negotiate the price..."

Mrs. Tachibana on the side, her face was even darkened, she looked very distressed.

If it is really Aoimon Echizen Yasutsuji, even if it is 6 million yen, you can’t buy it. Looking at the expressions of the couple, you should know that the sword is fake...Knowing that it is a fake sword, but still staying in the living room, it must be this The couple couldn't bear to touch the knife, for fear that it might be a relic of their son.

Tachibana Qingxue saw the reaction of the Tachibana couple, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: spent 6000 million yen to buy a useless decorative knife, Tachibana Jun is really a confused two-hundred-five son.

Ju Qingxian ran back with both legs.

Ju Qingxue glared at him, motioning for him to sit quietly, and leave the rest to her.

In the end, Tachibana didn't even look at her sister, and ran straight to Mrs. Tachibana, blinking those pure and clear eyes: "On the morning of March 3, when Tachibana Jun bought this knife, he was scolded by his aunt. He drove away from home at noon, didn't he?"

Mrs. Tachibana's complexion changed slightly.

Being questioned like this by a child made her feel a little offended.

Especially when the other party still looks innocent!

When she didn't speak, Tachibana Qingxian turned her gaze to Patriarch Tachibana: "Tell me?"

Patriarch Lihua hesitated for a while, then sighed: "It's almost like this."

"That means Tachibana Jun left home in anger?" Tachibana Qingxian asked.

"If it's that simple, there's no need for the police, let alone any detectives." Mrs. Lihua said indifferently.

She raised her gaze slightly to the ceiling, and did not look at the faces of Tachibana Qingxian and Tachibana Qingxue at the side, expressing her haughty attitude.

Ju Qingxian returned to the sofa, sat down next to her sister, and blinked at her a few times.

'Xiaoxue, it's your turn! '

Ju Qingxue gave him a helpless look, thought for a while, and asked, "What's not so simple, madam?"

Mrs. Lihua tilted her head slightly, her gaze was proudly facing Tachibana Qingxue, and she answered plainly: "Xiaochun will only leave after being bewitched!"

"What bewitches?" Ju Qingxue asked calmly.

"It must be those crooked friends he befriended who told him ghostly things all day long, making him always think that there are monsters in the world! In order to find monsters, he didn't do his job. Not only did he not care about his family's unemployment, but even his fiancée's birthday Forget it, and enjoy listening to those gossips all day long. Ahh! How hateful!"

There was a slight tremor at the end of the words, and Mrs. Tachibana's expression also showed anger.

Tachibana Qingxue thought for a while, and asked: "I just heard from the Patriarch that Tachibana Jun had an argument with you before leaving home. What was the content of the dispute between you?"

Mrs. Tachibana stared at her sharply: "Our family affairs have nothing to do with you!"

Facing her unceremonious attitude, Tachibana Qingxue did not flinch this time. Instead, she asked in a more forceful manner: "A famous sword matches a tengu. If I remember correctly, the owner said such a sentence just now. Tachibana Jun left home in anger. Going to Mount Takao, is it to prove that there is really a tengu on Mount Takao, so as to resist the life path you have arranged for him but he is unwilling to take?"

"You..." Mrs. Lihua trembled all over, "You are talking nonsense..."

Her teeth were chattering.

Even the fingers were shaking.

This woman with a strong style was suddenly overwhelmed by Ju Qingxue in terms of momentum.
