Fujiwara Yu and Takenaka Yuto placed the body of Nakayama Maiko in an empty room on the first floor. In order to prevent the body from accelerating the rate of decay, they did not forget to turn on the air conditioner and adjust it to cooling mode.
He asked Takenaka Yuto to gather at the restaurant first, while he stayed next to Nakayama Maiko's body, preparing to check the cause of death.
Although the rain has washed away some traces, as long as there is a crime, there will always be flaws.
The fatal wounds on the chest were consistent with those of Kei Ryo Maekawa. They both died instantly after an arrow was inserted into the heart. But the difference with Kei Ryo Maekawa is that Maiko Nakayama had many defensive wounds... which were left behind after she fought hard with the murderer.
The scars became more obvious after death.
Fujiwara Yu recalled the messy bedroom, and he vaguely noticed something was wrong. Even if the sound insulation effect of the bedroom was very good, it wouldn't have been like that after being rummaged through the cabinets. Yamaguchi Jun, who lived in the next room, didn't notice it at all, right?
Just when he got up and was about to go back to the restaurant, he suddenly noticed something wrong. Nakayama Maiko's fingernails were actually clean. If his memory was correct, he remembered that this person's fingernails were red.
She must have had a manicure done.
Why did the murderer remove Maiko Nakayama's nail polish? Was he scratched by his nails?
It seems that we will have to pay close attention to whether there are any traces of scratches on their bodies later.
When Fujiwara Yu returned to the restaurant, he found Sugino Takashi still lying on the table with a dejected face, and his trembling shoulders could tell that he was still sobbing softly. He might not be able to accept the death of his fiancée for a while.
As for the others, having witnessed the deaths of the two fellow travelers, their emotions could not be much higher, and they were also worried about whether the murderer would choose to silence everyone.
Fujiwara Yu's eyes wandered around everyone's bodies. After seeing no scratches on the exposed skin, he slowly said:
"Asami, go and make a cup of coffee for everyone. Next, I will conduct a one-on-one interrogation of everyone. Please cooperate."
"OK, all right."
"Then Mr. Asano, please come with me. Is it okay to use your room as an interrogation room?"
"No problem, it's my honor to be able to help."
After the two came to the bedroom and closed the door, Asano Kensaku looked at Takaji Sousuke with a sad face. He knew that it might not be good for him to say these things now, but the salary he had not yet received was very important to him.
It was important, so I had to bite the bullet and say:
"Well, Officer Takaji, now that Mr. Maekawa is dead, am I unable to get the remaining money?"
"Do you still think Mr. Maekawa is your employer?"
"Huh? Isn't it?" Kensaku Asano widened his eyes in surprise and asked in confusion.
The reason why Fujiwara Yu called Asano Kensaku in the first place was to find out the connection between Maekawa Keiryo and the real inviter. He thought of the prank operation with the theme of fake death and asked:
"I want to know how you cooperated with Maekawa to complete the fake death trick. Did he come to you directly?"
"No." Asano Kensaku shook his head. He stood up and took out an envelope from his desk drawer and explained: "I received a letter from Mr. Maekawa that he stuffed into the crack of my bedroom door. He asked me to keep my identity secret, and he asked me to keep my identity confidential.
Interact with him to avoid detection."
Just by letter?
Fujiwara Yu opened the letter and looked at the contents. It was indeed consistent with what Kensaku Asano said, and the signature was also signed by Keiryo Maekawa. However, this letter was very strange. It was printed with a printer, not handwritten.
Is it possible to make a bold guess that Keiryo Maekawa also received the same letter, which also requested confidentiality, and was signed by none other than Kensaku Asano, who was tricked by the real inviter?
Both parties mistakenly believed that the other party was the real inviter, and would naturally obey everything arranged by the other party... The murderer's methods were really clever.
And now that Keiryo Maekawa is dead, it can be said that there is no evidence of death. As long as Kensaku Asano publishes the letter, everyone will think that the inviter is Keiryo Maekawa. If unreliable police officers handle this case, they will think about it from the perspective of random murder.
Really cunning.
Fujiwara Yu's eyes fell on the long sleeves worn by Kensaku Asano. Although he did not include Asano in the list of suspects, he still chose to let him lift up the long sleeves out of caution and carefully check whether there were any scratches on his arms.
After confirming that there were no scratches on Asano Kensaku's body, he felt that there was no need to continue chatting. Asano Kensaku had no connection with these people and was just a migrant worker being used by the murderer.
He raised his eyes to look at Kensaku Asano, who had a somewhat silly expression, and smiled:
"Mr. Asano, please help me call Mr. Yamaguchi in, and... please keep the conversation between me and you confidential."
"Okay, I will definitely cooperate with you, police officer~" Asano Kensaku realized that the murderer should be the real inviter. Thinking of this, he did not dare to ask for the remaining part of his salary, so he had to find a way to leave this ghost place and then
Find two reliable part-time jobs.
In less than two minutes, Jun Yamaguchi, who still smelled of alcohol and had a can of beer in his hand, walked in from the door. Obviously, this guy did not drink the coffee brewed by Miyano Akemi, but chose to drink alcohol.
Let your mind empty.
His drinking capacity was obviously not very good, maybe because he had not sobered up from the previous wine. He looked at Takaji Sousuke with blurred eyes and said with a smile:
"Officer Eagle, why did you ask me to come here? I have nothing to do with those guys~"
"Really? The relationship between colleagues is not a relationship?" Fujiwara Yu looked at Yamaguchi Jun helplessly. He had never been good at dealing with drunkards, so he could only ask patiently: "During the time when Nakayama Maiko died, did you
Didn't you hear any strange noises coming from their room?"
"Ha! I couldn't hear it even if I wanted to. I fell asleep as soon as I got back to the room. If you hadn't knocked on the door and came in, I would still be sleeping now!" Yamaguchi Jun took a sip of beer and was happy.
road.
Falling asleep? Is it another sleeping pill?
No, if you fell asleep immediately after entering the room, could it be that the sleeping gas was released in advance in the room?
Fujiwara Yu's eyes fell on Yamaguchi Jun's arm. He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, which made it easier for him to observe. However, there were no scratches on his body. It seemed that he could be ruled out as a suspect for the time being... and he had always felt that there was a suspicion.
The bigger ones were the two guys who were in the same class as them. It was still a question whether the people in front of them knew Saege Sayuki, the victim ten years ago.
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Yamaguchi Jun couldn't get any useful information. The murderer deliberately let him sleep so that he could boldly commit crimes in the room. He looked at the burping Yamaguchi Jun with disgust and waved away.
Get rid of the dirty gas and say:
"Okay, you can go out, and help me call Miss Uchida in."
