Summoning a succubus, and my classmate's mother showed up

Chapter 26 There is Actually a Sixth Person

"Speaking of the suitcase, I haven't seen it in a while."

"So, let me ask you, how many people are there here?"

Natsukawa Yui thought for a moment and replied, "Kitano, Mrs. Matsushita, her daughter, you and me, there are five of us in total."

"No, there's actually another person."

Natsukawa Yui frowned, then suddenly realized: "Oh, right, there is a maid!"

"We've been neglecting her, and there's an area we haven't checked."

"Lounge." Natsukawa Yui reacted quickly.

"That's right. The maid spends most of her time in the lounge, except for her working hours." Qingshui You's mouth curled up slightly. "Right now, she should be busy in the kitchen. We can go to the lounge to check it out."

The two of them moved quickly and came to the lounge.

The interior furnishings were simple, with a sofa for naps, a row of iron cabinets for storing clothes, and a wooden round table with a few uncleaned fast food boxes scattered on it. It was obviously the maid's daily residence.

Qingshuiyou walked closer to the round table, counted the fast food boxes, and found that there was an extra pair of chopsticks.

He asked a question: "Under what circumstances do people usually prepare an extra pair of chopsticks?"

"Of course, when there are a lot of people around." After answering, Yui Natsukawa fell into deep thought.

There was only one maid in the Matsushita family, so it was impossible for an extra pair of chopsticks to appear for no reason. This meant that someone had eaten with her.

Shimizu Yu seemed to have guessed her thoughts and continued, "Do you remember Kitano Taro's behavior at lunch?"

"Remember, he barely ate any of it. What a waste..."

Natsukawa Yui suddenly realized something and turned her gaze to the lunch box, "...It's not because he ate less, but because he had already eaten."

"That's right!" Shimizu Yu continued to reason, "Kitano Taro was hired by Mrs. Matsushita to exorcise ghosts. Do you think a maid would invite him to dinner?"

"Unlikely, unless... you're saying the maid is related to Kitano Taro? Do you have any evidence?"

Natsukawa Yui was shocked, and things seemed to be getting more and more confusing.

Qing Shuiyou shook his head, "Not yet, that's why I came to confirm."

He opened the iron cabinet directly and found a briefcase in it.

"Hey, it's not nice to look through other people's things without permission."

"Then are you going to call the police?" Shimizu Yu responded provocatively.

Natsukawa Yui hesitated. Although she would never tolerate such behavior under normal circumstances, she was now more concerned about whether Shimizu Yu's speculation was correct.

Shimizu You rummaged through his bag and finally found an electricity bill.

"Just as I expected."

"What? Let me see." Yui Natsukawa moved closer curiously, and the name "Mrs. Kitano" was clearly written on the electricity bill.

Taro Kitano and Mrs. Kitano, the relationship between these two names is self-evident.

"How is this possible?!" Natsukawa Yui turned to Shimizu Yuu, who seemed to have seen through everything, "How did you find out?"

The time goes back to one hour ago.

Qingshui You, who hadn't been to the toilet all day, suddenly had the urge to go to the toilet alone.

He sat on the toilet, lost in thought.

It's not that I'm constipated, but Kitano Taro's behavior is unreasonable, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

If you can't solve the mental stress, then solve the physical stress.

After feeling relaxed, Shimizu Yu pulled up his pants and left, preparing to go back and reunite with Natsukawa Yui, when he saw a sneaky figure in the distance.

The maid slipped into Michiko Matsushita's bedroom.

Maybe he was going in to help clean up or something like that. Qing Shuiyou's foot stopped in mid-air. Is it necessary to clean like a thief?

Anyway, I'm not being monitored by Taro Kitano now.

So he followed quietly and carefully pushed the door open a crack.

Fortunately, the maid inside did not notice him, but was squatting on the floor looking around.

"Damn it, where is it hidden? If I can't find it, the debt will be due."

The maid put her hands on the floor again, trying to feel if there was a secret compartment.

Looking at the anxious woman, Qingshuiyou couldn't help but sigh that you can guard against thieves in your own home no matter how hard you try.

Just when he thought it was an ordinary case of embezzlement, he unexpectedly heard a name.

"As long as we find what the old man has hidden here, Taro and I can leave Japan and live somewhere else..."

The maid's expression was almost crazy, her chest kept heaving, and she was anxiously searching for the thing she was talking about on the floor.

Could the Taro she was referring to be Taro Kitano?

Qingshui You frowned and wanted to continue spying, but the voice of Natsukawa Yui came in his mind.

"Kitano is out, probably looking for you."

'I'll be right back.'

…………

Returning to the present, Shimizu Yuu told Natsukawa Yui what he had seen and heard.

"I didn't expect the maid and Kitano Taro were in cahoots." Natsukawa Yui couldn't believe it and asked, "How can you be sure she's telling the truth?"

Shimizu Yu explained easily, "When people are emotionally agitated, their brains become less able to control their speech due to tension, and they often say things they wouldn't normally say on impulse."

Natsukawa Yui was stunned for a moment, the boy in front of her seemed to have become different.

But what he said does make sense. The simplest example is that when people quarrel, they often say things they would not normally say.

"I didn't expect you knew psychology."

"I just know a little bit."

Shimizu Yu waved his hand modestly. In fact, he just made this conclusion based on the behavior of the villains in the TV series.

When villains think they have a sure win, they often can't help but show off their plans or even reveal more secrets.

"Now that we have confirmed the relationship between the maid and Kitano Taro, the suitcase he brought is likely hidden in this lounge."

Natsukawa Yui nodded in agreement, and now she was convinced of Shimizu Yu's guess.

The two began to search the lounge carefully for possible hiding places for the suitcase. They checked the space under the sofa, searched every corner of the iron cabinet, and even the bottom of the wooden round table.

However, the suitcase doesn't seem to be here.

"Could it be that we made a mistake?" Natsukawa Yui asked doubtfully.

Qing Shuiyou pondered for a moment and said, "Although these places can be used to hide things, they are also the places where they are most likely to be discovered."

"Is it possible that the suitcase was taken out?"

Qing Shuiyou shook his head and denied Xia Chuan Yui's idea, "No one has left the house today, the possibility of taking him out is very small..."

His eyes fell on the sofa, which usually adopts a hollow design to reduce weight and save materials.

If the sofa in front of you is hollow, then hiding a suitcase, let alone a person, will not be a problem.

Seeing his actions, Yui Natsukawa sighed and said, "I've looked for the sofa, but it's not there."

"What about inside the sofa?"
