The short commercial ended quickly and the live broadcast continued.
After a while, a 4-minute commercial was inserted.
The host left the studio with the excuse of "having a stomachache and going to the bathroom."
He had already had murderous intentions towards Suwa - because Suwa wanted to replace him and let a beautiful star host the show to increase the ratings.
…
The host walked out of the studio and ran towards the warehouse on the seventh floor as soon as he was out of sight of the staff.
On the way, he took out his hidden cell phone and gun, called Suwa, and lied to him that he was going to jump off the building.
Suwa was on the fourth floor at this time.
After receiving the call, he was shocked and opened the rotating window, leaned out and looked up.
The black muzzle of a gun came into view - upstairs, the host held up the gun, smiled solemnly at him, and pulled the trigger hard.
…
The bullet penetrated Suwa's temple. The body slipped weakly, pressing the lower half of the window, and the up-down rotating window was closed again.
Before the window was completely closed, the host let go and threw the gun into the room.
——In this way, it seems that "someone broke into the room where Suwa was, forced him to the window with a gun, and then shot him to death."
The four-minute commercial time is not enough for the host to go back and forth from the ninth floor where the studio is located to the fourth floor where Suwa is.
In other words, the alibi is obtained.
…
The host sneered, packed up all the props, and rushed back to the studio.
He returned to his seat as if nothing had happened and nodded apologetically to the others.
The host did not delay the live broadcast, and his temporary colleagues certainly did not say anything.
Only the young detective looked down at his calf.
The host had a guilty conscience. After Jiang Xia looked away, he secretly lowered his head and looked at his trouser legs.
Fortunately, it looks clean and not stained with anything strange.
Only then did he feel relieved, put on a smile, and continued hosting the show.
…
After the live broadcast, more and more people approached the producer.
Suwa's body was soon discovered.
…
The Mu Mu Police Department led a team to arrive and saw Jiang Xia in the crowd at a glance.
His expression became a little complicated in an instant.
"..." Brother Jiang Xia's luck in memorizing words lasted a little too long.
Moreover, Jiang Xia's frequency of encountering cases, especially those in which the criminals used fancy tactics, seems to be much higher than that of Brother Kudo.
…
There were many people in the building, but very few without suspicion, which made the case more difficult to detect.
Fortunately, the time of the crime was fairly clear - during the live broadcast, the host asked the staff to look for Suwa. Suwa was still alive at that time, so the time of the crime was limited to 40 minutes.
Police Inspector Mumu touched his chin and pondered politely for a moment.
After a minute, he gave up thinking: "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"
Jiang Xia did not disappoint him.
The new brother's reasoning was as simple as ever: "The murderer should be Mr. Matsuo."
As he said that, as if he was afraid that someone might not know who "Mr. Matsuo" was, Jiang Xia pointed to the door very thoughtfully: "That host."
host:"……"
After being stunned for a second, he said angrily: "How could I kill my friend?!" As he spoke, tears flowed down.
... Putting aside his professional abilities, at least his acting skills are very qualified.
However, several police officers who had seen Jiang Xia's reasoning became vigilant and secretly surrounded the host.
…
The host found that the emotional card didn't work, so he had to start talking about evidence.
He looked at Jiang Xia: "When Suwa was killed, I was always in the studio. Aren't you sitting next to me?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "But you left for four minutes during the commercial break."
"That can't be me!" The host really couldn't figure out why Jiang Xia was targeting him. It stands to reason that people like Jiang Xia, who have always been by his side and have seen his movements with their own eyes, are the easiest to be deceived.
This is one of the reasons why the host will take action today.
1 - This show invites all famous detectives. Only this time, it is Jiang Xia who has solved very few cases in total and is suspected to have gotten in through Kinoshita Yoko. He feels that it is the least difficult to fool Jiang Xia.
However, things were completely different from what he thought.
——The other detectives at least talked about the evidence, but Jiang Xia never hesitated from the beginning, as if he was very sure that the murderer was him... What went wrong?!
The host looked at the approaching police and felt anxious. He explained: "Four minutes is not enough! From the studio on the 9th floor to here, it will take at least more than six minutes to take the shortest way back and forth!"
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Kinoshita Yoko whispered: "How do you know so well? Have you tested it yourself?"
host:"……"
His heart skipped a beat.
But he is worthy of being a comedian, and he is very fast: "One time, I was 7 minutes late for a meeting. I ran while looking at my watch, and I just happened to catch up when I arrived, so I knew the time very well..."
The Mu Mu police department said "Huh" and nodded.
...This reason barely makes sense.
In order to confirm the round trip time, he looked at Jiang Xia and took out a stopwatch: "How about you go and try it?"
