Chapter 992 Legend with Filial DaughterShitara Renxi looked confused, "Why can a peach tree suppress dirty things?"
In fact, Fujino didn’t quite understand the principle of how peach blossoms could ward off evil spirits. After all, this thing was passed down from his ancestors. How could he know why?
Just like why a bicycle is stable when riding.
This thing is also an unsolved mystery, okay?
Fujino didn't intend to say too much nonsense, after all, he was just making it up: "You should have seen Hong Kong zombie movies, right?"
"I've seen it!" Renxi Shitara raised her hand actively like a child who was learning.
"In Hong Kong movies, there are Taoist priests who kill zombies with peach wood swords." Fujino said in a serious tone, with a serious look on his face: "Peach wood, also known as dragon-subduing wood and ghost-fearing wood, has a very strong property of exorcising evil spirits. In the legend, the 'immortal peach' that can prolong life is made of peach trees. The peach tree itself is an auspicious tree. Even an ordinary peach tree has the meaning of restraining evil spirits and prolonging life."
"So this is ah……"
Everyone nodded in confusion, with a hint of weirdness in their eyes.
It’s not that I think what Fujino said is nonsense, but I just don’t understand why this detective seems to know so much about this subject…
You should be a detective, not a fortune teller, right?
As a detective, just do your job honestly!
Although Tsukuro Hongsheng looked a little strange, he still took Fujino's words to heart.
As a qualified housekeeper, no matter what method is used, as long as it can protect the safety of the master's family, it is worth a try.
After silently making a note in her heart and purchasing a large number of peach trees, she suddenly thought of something and said, "I think we can put the curse aside for now. The important thing is what to do with the Requiem tonight..."
Fearing that Fujino, an outsider, didn't understand, Shitara Renki specially explained: "This is the tradition of our Shitara family. Whenever someone dies, the family will play a requiem to comfort the soul of the deceased..."
"Last year, it was Mr. Genzaburo who played the Requiem. Now the master and the mistress are in that condition and it is impossible to play it..." Tsugaku Hongseo looked at Shitara Renki and touched his chin.
Shitara Renxi felt Jinqu's gaze, swallowed her saliva and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, I don't know Requiem!"
"In that case, let me do it."
At this time, Yuga Kyosuke suggested: "After all, I am also a member of the Shitara family..."
"But the annex building where the musical instruments were stored has been burned down." Qu Jinghongsheng reminded: "Now the only thing that can be used here is the Stradivarius."
"Let's forget about this guitar..." Yuga Kyosuke joked, "I don't want to be the second person to die in an accident today."
Shitara Renxi said, "Then why don't you use mine?"
"No need. I have my own violin in my car. Although it's not a famous instrument, it's the only thing my father left me. It sounds pretty good."
As he spoke, he glanced at the floor clock next to him, turned around and walked out of the room: "Besides, if I take away the piano at this time, Aunt Xuanyin will be unhappy."
Fujino watched Kyosuke Haga leave the room, and the world in front of him gradually turned gray and switched to Hawkeye tracking mode.
These people are all suspects, and now this guy actually wants to leave the group... No need to think about it, he must be going to kill someone!
As we all know, in the world of science, there is a very scientific set of rules.
Under normal circumstances, traveling in a tour group is extremely safe, but once you leave the group, there are generally only two outcomes - becoming dead, or causing death.
As to whether it was the former or the latter, Fujino was not sure.
We can only see how this guy performs...
Fujino withdrew his gaze and glanced at the two women, one big and one small, left in the room.
Renki Shitara, the eldest daughter of the Shitara family, is a legendary filial daughter.
Tsugaku Hongxi, originally the steward of the Haga family, now becomes the steward of the Shitara family due to family reunion.
In addition to the two of them, there is also a Yuga Kyosuke.
Based on the information we have now, these three people are most likely to have committed the crime.
As for Shitara Choichiro and Shitara Ayane, one of them has lung cancer and will not live for many days, and the other is mentally ill. It would be too difficult for them to kill people.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the beige man pretends to be mentally ill, pretending to be a sick old man, and suddenly attacks you at a critical moment. After all, you never know whether the sick old man in front of you is a ruthless person who can wield a giant sword weighing dozens of kilograms and walk briskly.
Here, Fujino was thinking secretly in his heart.
Renki Shitara next to her thought that Fujino was curious why her grandmother would be unhappy if the violin was taken away.
So he explained: "Since my father passed away, my grandmother would take out the Stradivarius and stroke it every night when the midnight bell rang... It was as if she regarded the violin as my father."
Fujino didn't understand why this girl would explain all this to him.
But after collecting his thoughts, he agreed, "This is normal. After all, it's the loss of a child in old age. No one can bear it mentally."
"Who says it's not?"
Shitara Renxi sighed helplessly, "Ever since that incident, her mental state has become abnormal. Even seeing a doctor is useless..."
Speaking of which, she felt quite wronged that her grandmother treated the violin as her own father.
My father is a violinist, so what am I?
A little violin?
…………
"It's been so long, why hasn't uncle come back yet?"
"Could there be some accident?"
Several people waited in the room for a while. Renxi Shitara raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Thinking of the relatives around her who had died one after another, she began to worry about the curse.
Fujino glanced in the direction of downstairs.
Then, I saw Yuga Kyosuke leaning against the door, holding a violin bag in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
Judging from his posture, he looks quite melancholy?
Could it be that because relatives around him kept dying, he ran downstairs to smoke out of depression?
This is not right...
Fujino touched his chin, but when he thought about it carefully, it felt right.
From his point of view, this family didn't seem to have much reaction to the death of their family member, and there wasn't even much of a death atmosphere.
Maybe, the person is already numb?
Dying once is okay, but if you die once a year, or two or three times, it's not surprising to become numb... What's more, this family is pretty unlucky.
The old man has cancer and loves the violin as his life, the old lady is a psychopath who treats the violin as her son, and the granddaughter is a dutiful daughter and a fool...
The others... the others are all dead.
In comparison, Hanega Kyosuke is a rare normal person.
But, among a group of abnormal people, are normal people really normal?
At this time, Yuga Kyosuke finished smoking, carried his violin bag upstairs, and returned to the room: "Sorry, I kept you waiting..."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
Shitara Renxi breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you had an accident too, uncle."
Yuga Kyosuke: “…”
This child is so filial that it drives me crazy.
You wish I would die and inherit the inheritance of both families, right?
Fujino looked at Shitara Renki with relief.
Well, the legendary filial daughter still performs stably.
This character and filial piety are comparable to Sonoko's...
