Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

"Hi~"

"Yukiko? Have you completed all the admission procedures?"

Qin Xianshu understood it as soon as he saw it.

"Well, that's about it. I have all the school uniforms, books, student cards and everything. From today on, I am also a student of Sobu High School."

Yukiko took the initiative to come closer and deliberately whispered into Qin Mianshu's ear.

"But it's a pity that I wasn't assigned to Class F~"

"why?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice sounded from the side. Qin Ushu turned his head to look, and happened to meet the gaze of Shiina Mashiro.

The vigilance in his eyes was also mixed with a hint of... scrutiny?

"Why?" Qin Xianshu didn't respond for a while.

"When you called her, you said 'Yukiko'." The girl said seriously.

I don't know if it was Qin Ushu's misunderstanding, but he actually saw an expression called "serious" on Shiina Mashiro's expressionless face.

Isn't it a bit scary...

"Call me Mashiro." The girl said softly and seriously.

"Okay, Mashiro."

Qin Xianshu didn't think twice.

Hearing this title, Shiina Mashiro's body trembled slightly, her two slender eyebrows gradually gathered together, and her expression became more and more confused.

Yukiko, who had already had a similar experience, suddenly showed a "too young" smile.

I regained my mental balance instantly.

Qin Sanshu shrugged.

"Let's go."

……

When the three returned to Sakurasou, Mitaka Jin was still busy preparing hot pot for dinner in the kitchen, together with the new arrival Kanda Sorata.

The welcome party was held last night, but due to poor communication, I bought double portions of hot pot ingredients but didn't finish them all.

Fat sheep rolls and fat beef rolls are better, especially ones like goose intestines and tripe. They are not used in normal cooking and must be eaten in a hurry, otherwise it will be a waste.

I am getting tired of eating hot pot for two days in a row, but there is nothing I can do about it.

After returning to the room, he sat down at the computer desk and turned on the computer. Qin Mianshu opened the webpage where he accepted the commission as usual.

At a quick glance, approximately 70.00% of the commissions are unscrupulous, 20.00% are consultation-related, and some are unknown.

But this does not mean that there are no serious commissions.

There really is one.

Different from those entrustments that do not even include contact information, the entruster not only marked the contact information in the title of the letter, but also wrote down his name and home address, including the content of the entrustment. Written in great detail.

Judging from the tone of voice, the person who issued the commission should be a housewife. Her husband works in a library in Chiba. However, her husband has been out of contact since the night before yesterday. Not only has he not returned home, he has even called Doesn’t make sense.

This situation is most likely in some corner...

Qin Xianshu thought to himself as he followed the contact information on the letter and dialed the phone.

The phone went through after a few rings, and a woman answered the phone.

"You... hello."

"Hello, Mrs. Yutian." Qin Sanshu got straight to the point, "I saw the commission you left. Can you tell me the details now?"

"Uh, convenient."

Mrs. Tamada on the other end of the phone began to say: "The general situation is similar to what I said in the commission letter. My husband has not been home since the day before yesterday, and the phone cannot be reached. I am worried that something happened to him in the company. Accident……"

"Wait a minute." Qin Sanshu interrupted, "You said your husband had an accident in the company. Is there any basis for it?"

"Yes..." Mrs. Tamada said.

"My husband usually calls me on the company's landline before coming home from work. He does this every day, but he didn't call me the night before. I even reported this to the police during the day, but The police only searched the library and told me there was no problem, but nothing more happened."

"I see." Qin Sanshu thought for a moment, "Mrs. Yutian, have you received any unusual calls in the past two days?"

"No, not at all."

"Okay, I probably understand." Qin Sanshu said and stood up from the table.

"What about the commission fee..." The other end of the phone seemed a little anxious.

"No rush, are you free now? I still need to confirm some things in person."

"Yes, yes."

"See you in xx cafe in 10 minutes."

Qin Sanshu reported the name of the place, then hung up the phone, took out a swing stick from the drawer, wore it on his body, and walked out of the room.

Then he bumped into Yukiko at the door of the room who happened to be coming out of the bathroom.

The girl with crystal drops of water on her hands blinked.

"Are you going...to go out?"

"Ah."

Qin Sanshu nodded and extended the invitation to him as promised.

"Suddenly I received a case to investigate. Do you want to join us?"

"Okay~"

"Eh? Where are you going? It's time to have dinner soon?"

Hitomi Mitaka, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly ran to the entrance to change his shoes, and couldn't help but poke his head out to remind them.

"Well, I have something to do, so I won't be back for dinner." Qin Sanshu opened the door and walked out.

Yukiko followed closely behind.

boom.

The door was closed again.

"Really, the dishes here are almost ready..."

Mitaka Jin in the kitchen complained softly, and was about to retract his head, but when he turned around, he saw a light-blond girl standing quietly at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor.

Poker face.

Chapter 52 Missing×Library×Elevator

Ten minutes later, Qin Sanshu and Yukiko appeared at the agreed place together as promised.

Logically speaking, he should have arrived 15 minutes ago, but right now, during the rush hour, the road is extremely congested.

There were not many people in the cafe, with three or four tables scattered in the almost eighty-square-meter space.

As soon as they entered, someone stood up from a booth against the wall and waved to them.

"here."

It was a woman who looked to be about 34 or [-] years old, with the hairstyle of a married woman. She had an above-average appearance, but she looked a little pale and haggard because she hadn't had a good rest for two consecutive nights.

"Three glasses of Maxwell, thank you."

Qin Sanshu took Yukiko and sat down together. He casually dismissed the waitress who was holding the order machine and turned to the woman in front of him.

"Mrs. Tamada, right?"

"Yes, I was the one who talked to you on the phone before..." Mrs. Tamada's tone sounded very tired.

"Okay, I've already understood the general situation on the phone, but I still have a few things I want to know about." Qin Ushu said.

"If you need a photo of my husband...I'll bring it."

Mrs. Tamada took the bag from the empty seat next to her and pulled out a relatively new photo.

Qin Ushu took the photo and looked at it. The photo showed a man with a middle parting, about 37 or [-] years old, with a plain appearance but a kind face.

The man in the photo is still wearing a suit and tie, standing in the sun. It looks like it was taken in the spring of this year or last year. There is a lot of new green growing on the trees in the background.

"This is my husband, his name is Tamada Kazuo." Mrs. Tamada said.

"Well... I'll keep this photo with me for now." The high school detective put away the photo.

Three glasses of Maxwell were quickly brought out, and it was Qin Sanshu who paid.

He took a sip of the hot coffee and asked, "I want to know something about your husband's daily behavior and personality."

"My husband..." Mrs. Tamada recalled seriously, "My husband is a person with a very good personality. He is very kind to everyone. He is also very serious about his work in the company, and he is also very considerate of his family."

"Because of this, he often has to work overtime until very late at night. In order to reassure me, he basically calls me on the company's landline before returning home from get off work every day, and then leaves the company to go home."

"Well, I've learned more about this over the phone before." Qin Sanshu said euphemistically, "Then, how much do you know about your husband's work?"

Mrs. Tamada nodded and said: "My husband is the administrator of the library. Because he has a good personality, he is in charge of children's books. He is responsible for counting the number of books on the bookshelf and the borrowing and returning records every day."

While listening to her, Qin Xianshu slowly sipped the coffee in his cup, and occasionally asked some questions that seemed very trivial to others.

The small cup of coffee quickly ran out.

"Okay, let's roughly understand the situation here." Qin Shanshu drank the remaining coffee in the cup and stood up.

"You can just call us for the advance payment. I have accepted this commission. I will take leave tomorrow and start the investigation directly."

"Okay, okay..."

Mrs. Tamada nodded hastily.

"By the way, there is one last question."

Qin Sanshu suddenly stood still, turned around, and his eyes fell firmly on Mrs. Yutian's face.

"What time did your husband get home last night?"

"what?"

The latter's face instantly revealed a look of astonishment.

Qin Sanshu shrugged.

"It's nothing, just a simple quiz. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

After leaving the cafe, Yukiko tugged on the hem of Qin Sanshu's clothes.

"I didn't expect it to end so early. Where should we go now? Go back, or eat somewhere nearby?"

"I'm afraid it's too late." Qin Sanshu said.

"When is the closing time of the library that Mrs. Tamada mentioned before?"

"Six o'clock." The girl answered immediately.

"..."

Qin Xianshu turned his face sideways and gave her a meaningful look.

"So sure?"

"Of course!" Yukiko puffed up her chest proudly, "While you were chatting just now, I checked online on my mobile phone. Before July, the museum closed at six o'clock in the evening. From July to September, it will be delayed for three months. By seven o'clock in the evening, I also roughly checked the library's employee list."

"Barvo."

Qin Xianshu took out his cell phone from his pocket and took a look.

"Now we have about four and ten minutes. It will take two and ten minutes to walk from here. Let's take a taxi."

"Are you in such a hurry? There are still four to ten minutes. You can have a meal before going there..." Yukiko was a little confused.

"Are you stupid?" Qin Sanshu rolled his eyes, "The museum closes at six o'clock, and you went in at the same time as they closed. Do you think they will let you in? Are you playing games in front of them?"

"It seems... also?"

The girl stuck out her sweet tongue, trying to pass the test cutely.
