Chapter 28: Approaching the Truth
Later, they visited some of the guests who were at the Kiyo Hotel at the time, and they all said that they were paying more attention to the unique gold ring than Taro Kojima himself.
"How unexistent is this person?"
In the warehouse where Taro Kojima was killed, Qiyu complained.
There are no clues worth referring to here, except for the bloodstains in one place.
Nami flipped through the notepad and began to conclude: "Taro came to the barbershop at half-past three, and at about four o'clock, the uncle who delivered the newspaper proved that the barbershop owner was not lying. ”
"After that, he went to the Kiyoshi Hotel, and it was five o'clock at the time! Even the owner and guests of the Kiyoshi Hotel proved that Taro was there, indicating that he was alive at that time!"
"But this is not clear! When Madame received a call from the servant, she immediately called the police, and it was ten past five!"
After killing people from this warehouse and throwing the corpses to his doorstep, it will take more than forty minutes to drive even if it is more than forty minutes!"
"In other words, it will take 5:40 to complete the corpse throwing at the earliest?" Qiyu said.
Nami sighed and nodded.
"Don't be fooled by the illusion, the matter is actually very simple, Taro who was in the Qing Hotel at the time must have been a stand-in pretending...."Qin Lin judged.
"Do you have the answer?" Nami's eyes lit up.
Qin Lin lit his cigar and said slowly, "What's the use of the answer? there must be evidence..."
"Let me ask you, how often is the garbage from that shopping street recycled?"
After making a phone call to inquire, Nami said with great certainty, "Once every three days!"
"Oops.... It has been four days since the case occurred and the garbage has been removed. Qin Lin closed his eyes and thought for a while.
After that, he arranged for Qiyu to be given a task.
"Ah, why are you looking for that?" Qiyu was puzzled.
However, she would not object to Qin Lin, more of a surprise and.
So I set off in a hurry.
It wasn't until late at night that he completed the mission and returned to the hot spring villa.
.......
The next morning, the two of them, who were still sleeping, were woken up by Nami's phone call.
It turned out that the detective named Umegawa Kuko claimed to have known who the culprit was, and with the help of the police, he prepared to go to Kojima's house with a few witnesses from the shopping street.
"No, that guy in the second middle school has this kind of ability?" In the bed, Qiyu lay naked on Qin Lin's body, and said with sleepy eyes.
Qin Lin rubbed his eyes, and after kissing Qiyu, he said with a smile: "Don't say it, I'm still looking forward to it...."
"Don't forget to bring that later..."
When the two of them arrived at Kojima's house, it was already half past nine.
In addition to the police and Taro Kojima's family, there were also the female owner of the barber shop, the owner of the Kiyoshi Hotel, and the uncle who delivered the newspaper.
"President Kojima, Officer Nami, since everyone is here, I'll start?" said Detective Umegawa.
President Kojima glanced at him with triangular eyes, and said dissatisfiedly, "Then why did you gather all the people in my house?
"Alright, let's get started!Who killed my son?!"
Umegawa Kuko tidied up her clothes and made an unfathomable look.
"Because the prisoner is in this room!"
Then he began to reason.
"In fact, the most strange thing about this case is why the prisoner cut off Mr. Taro's head and hands. ”
"It's very simple, in order to create an alibi!
Qin Lin nodded in agreement.
After that, Detective Umegawa walked up to a man and asked, "Am I right?Lady Kojima?!"
The murderer was the wife of the deceased?
Except for Qin Lin, everyone was in an uproar.
"Are you crazy?" said Lady Kojima's face was full of anger.
Detective Umegawa smiled, used gestures to warn her to be calm, and continued: "The first time I saw you, I noticed the scars on your knees and calves, which shows that Taro has been committing domestic violence against you for a long time!"
"I'm sure you have other scars on your body, right?"
Mrs. Kojima takes off her coat at the request of Officer Nami.
Sure enough, her arms were covered in scars!
"Coupled with Mr. Taro's spending all day drinking, your husband and wife are not in harmony at all. These past events are enough to constitute your motive for killing him!"
Umegawa is becoming more and more confident.
Mrs. Kojima became more and more angry: "No! No! Although we often fight each other, ours is not as bad as you think. ”
"I had an alibi! I was shopping for clothes in the city next door!
"And after that video was filmed, I went out! I didn't see him again until he was killed!"
Umegawa retorted: "It's a pity that those tickets and videos are also performances that you have carefully prepared!"
"I've already investigated! The store where you buy clothes is the property in your name, you just need to ask the clerk to fake it!"
"At one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, you asked your husband to go to the abandoned warehouse, kill him and divide his body!"
"The reason why Taro who is lying on the bed in the video only shows one head is because you only put that head on the bed, and then shoot a video that is fake!"
"And edited the time of the video shooting to 9 o'clock in the morning, trying to confuse us in this way!"
"Because Taro also has long hair, you put on his clothes, arrange your head style similar to his, put on his gold ring, and leave the bag containing the head and body pieces in front of the door of your villa, waiting for the maid to find it. ”
"Then go to the barbershop not far from your home to cut your hair, and in order not to show your stuffing, you deliberately fall asleep while cutting your hair!
"Then you went to the Qing Hotel again, used that ring, and repeated the same trick again, and asked all the guests and the boss to give you an alibi!"
After saying so much in one breath, Umegawa paused, then turned back to Chairman Kojima with a shocked face and said, "Just ask the clerk in the next city to expose her perjury! She has never been to the next city at all!"
With that, he sat down, his head held high, and enjoyed the applause of some people.
Qiyu also translated these words to Qin Lin word for word.
Who knows, Qin Lin laughed out loud after hearing this, and two letters quickly popped out of his mouth: "SB...."
Naturally, the Japanese people didn't understand, but at this time Mrs. Kojima spoke: "Didn't you say that my alibi is fake?
She took out her phone and played two more videos.
The content is a video of her taking a selfie with two clerks after trying on clothes in the store in the next city.
Then they went to see a movie, and took a photo with the movie poster, and even the record of the mobile phone ticket purchase is still there.
It was five o'clock!
"Excuse me, please go and ask the clerks, they can all testify to me!" said Mrs. Kojima angrily.
