After expressing their apologies, the two sides also exchanged names. to eat

The man's name is Longwei Jing, and the woman's name is Longwei Linghua, his wife.

Long Weijing said that he has come here to practice archery every day in the last half month.

Because of some friction with the people in the next-door village, I mistakenly thought that the three strangers Ye Gengichi, Hattori Heiji, Toyama, and Ye were here to provoke, and they accidentally acted disrespectfully.

However, Long Weijing didn't elaborate on what "little friction" refers to.

Dragon tail? What a coincidence?

Hearing this surname, Hattori Heiji was taken aback.

Before coming here, he specifically asked Police Officer Otaki if this village is one of those clan villages where half the surname is 'Longwei' and the other half is 'Hutian'. to eat

After getting a negative answer, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was really difficult for him as an outsider to find out about the kind of family relationship.

As a result... I didn't expect to walk around casually, and I met someone from Longwei's family.

And why does the other party seem to have never heard of his name...

Uh, the senior of Police Officer Otaki is at least 50 years old, so what is the relationship between this man in front of him and the client?

Hattori Heiji was a little tangled, and didn't know for a while whether to say goodbye to the two of them first, go to another place for a while, or directly explain the purpose of coming.

At this time, I heard Ye Gengyi continue the previous topic in a questioning way: "From what you said, I feel that the people in the next village are a little difficult to get along with. If we meet... will we be embarrassed by them?"

Eh? yes! to eat

Can I ask him about the situation in the next-door village first, really, I was so stupid... Hattori Heiji got out of the way.

Just now he was only thinking about how to get some clues from people other than 'Longwei' or 'Hutian', but he ignored even if it was the same thing, and he could ask the other way around.

"Well...they are really not easy to contact."

Long Weijing hesitated a little, and explained: "Actually, our village and the neighboring village hold a festival every year to pick out the most powerful Yabusame shooter. Because I have always been in good condition, among them Some of them are not popular, so I occasionally come to the shooting range to play tricks, in short, you should be careful when you meet them."

Yabusame originated from equestrian skills on the battlefield, and later developed into a competitive sport. In Yabusame, competitors need to ride a specially trained horse, use a specified number of bows and arrows, and compete within an equal distance limit. Next to the target shooting, with the final hit rate to determine the outcome.

As for the time, since there is no way to accurately control the running speed of the horse, as long as it is not too much to the extent of riding a horse for a walk, the contestants and the organizer will not care too much about the difference of more than ten seconds.

"A Jing has served as the shooter of the Yabusame at the festival for six consecutive years, and he should be elected this year."

Longwei Linghua muttered in a low voice: "If you want me to say, there should be no election at all, and just ask A Jing to be the shooter of Yabusame every year, wouldn't it be good?"

"Ayaka..."

Long Weijing looked at his wife, and said helplessly, "Don't say such things. If you become slack and don't practice hard, my riding and archery will definitely regress... After all, no matter if it is compared to perseverance or strength It's a lot worse than the predecessors."

senior? Still a long way off?

Strange, didn't this person say that he has been selected as the "Yabusame shooter" for 6 consecutive years...

Hattori Heiji asked suspiciously: "Excuse me, who is the senior you mentioned just now?"

"Well... this."

Long Weijing hesitated to speak.

Just now, just to strengthen his belief, he blurted out the person he admired the most in terms of riding and archery skills, so as to spur himself on.

But this does not mean that he is willing to follow the topic to satisfy the curiosity of three passers-by who have only met for a few minutes.

"A criminal policeman from Nagano Prefecture, Kaixuan." Ye Geng suddenly helped him say the name in his heart.

"You... how do you know?" Long Weijing's expression changed slightly.

It would be fine if they were villagers from a nearby village, but... aren't these three people tourists who came here from Osaka?

Um? This reaction...it seems that they really don't know Hattori Heiji...歠

After a little testing.

Ye Geng used it as if he answered the question, but after careful consideration, he seemed to say nothing, and said:

"It's not surprising that I know someone as easy-going as Police Officer Kai."

"That's right, that person is Kai-senpai."

Long Weijing took a breath and said sincerely: "My practice is not enough. If senior is still alive, he should always be the shooter of Yabusame."

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Hattori Heiji took the opportunity to take Ye Gengichi and walked a few steps aside, lowered his voice and asked several questions in succession, "Brother Gengichi, how did you know that police officer Kai? According to the analysis of Long Weijing's rhetoric, that People should have died 6 years ago, right?"

"I don't know him." Ye Gengyi also lowered his voice.

"Ah? Then you just..."

Hattori Heiji was startled, as if he remembered something, and asked, "Is it possible that he has something to do with the case we are going to investigate this time?"

"maybe."

Ye Gengyi had no intention of explaining, so he took out Matsumoto Kiyonaga's notepad and shook it in front of Hattori Heiji's eyes.

Hattori Heiji:"…"

How could I forget this... 歠

It really wasn't his fault for being careless, it was because he only cared about driving on the way.

In addition, he has seen a lot of notepads used by the criminal police ~lightnovelpub.net~ It can be said that in addition to the names and places on it, it has a certain reference value, like those records including but not limited to time, except for the recorder I can read it, but it looks like an encrypted codebook to others.

If it wasn't for having no clues at all, this thing could only play an auxiliary role at best.

Hattori Heiji originally planned to ask Ye Gengichi to borrow some clues after collecting some clues.

This does not conflict with the plan they made at the beginning. It is nothing more than an excuse to find the way, but in fact, they will first turn around to observe the atmosphere and environment of the village.

result…

The relationship between the two villages seems to be a bit of a turmoil because of the festival. It just so happens that they also met the son and daughter-in-law who are suspected of being the Longwei family. to eat

Ye Gengyi's side will not be affected.

But Hattori Heiji is different, just now revealing his identity, he can also use the reason why the other party didn't recognize him after notifying each other's names at the beginning, and if it drags on, unless he doesn't plan to see the client, he will only leave a note for the other party The impression of distrust of each other is really not worth the candle.

"Brother Gengyi, why don't you just tell them that I was entrusted by Mr. Longwei Weishi to investigate the case of Longwei Koji."

This kid, not only did not have the effect of the "singular event electronic card", but he even met the family members of the person involved in the secret investigation. He is really so dark...

Ye Geng shook his head and reminded:

"Remember, I'm just a friend who came here with you, don't miss it."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji left a sentence of "Don't worry", and couldn't wait to run to Tatsuo Kage and Tatsuo Ayaka, and introduced his identity in detail. to eat
