Thursday, August 31, Survey Venue.

At the request of the Twilight Police Department, Shunichi Tono recounted the time he was here last night, and Officer Chiba made the chart.

"Yesterday I came over at about six o'clock in the evening, although Ms. Qi Chuan has put aside her pen now, but she has written many masterpieces of mystery novels, and we had a meeting about sorting out and publishing a collection of works. ”

"The time I spent in Mr. Qichuan's apartment was about two hours, about eight o'clock in the evening. ”

"When I came, I thought that the teacher had already eaten dinner, but later I found out that Teacher Qi Chuan had not eaten all this time. ”

"Although Mr. Qi Chuan said that she had no appetite, I helped Mr. Qi Chuan order sushi for one person, which is her favorite kind of food, hoping to boost her appetite. ”

"I didn't leave until about 8 p.m. after I received the takeaway. ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "Well, it looks like Ms. Saikawa has eaten all the sushi. ”

Conan interjected, "And ginger slices or something, on the kitchen counter, that's also the contents of the sushi box, right? ”

Shunichi Tono said: "That's sweet ginger, Mr. Saikawa sometimes wants to eat it, sometimes he doesn't want to eat it, it's hard to tell, so the sushi restaurant owner will give a small amount, and Mr. Saikawa likes to eat cuttlefish and octopus, and the shop owner will deliberately add more." ”

"That's right. The Twilight Police Department nodded.

Maori asked, "And what happened after that, and where did you go after that?"

"I went to drink with my friends until late at night, and it was about half past ten in the evening. Shunichi Tono took out his mobile phone to call up the communication, "It's these people." ”

Eiyu Hondo asked, "Where are you drinking, how many minutes are you from here?"

"I understand what you mean, you're saying that I'm looking for an opportunity to come back and commit a crime. "That's impossible, even though that izakaya is only a ten-minute drive from here, we haven't drunk much, we're all sober, there's no way I'll disappear for twenty minutes without being discovered by them." ”

Maori said: "Just call and ask." ”

Officer Takagi called one by one and confirmed that Shunichi Tono had been drinking with them at around 8:15 p.m. last night, and although he had left twice in the middle, neither of them lasted more than ten minutes, just going to the bathroom.

Shunichi Tono's drinking friends are sure that they are not drunk and will not be mistaken.

confirmed the problem of Shunichi Tono's editing, and found the administrator Keizo Murata, judging from the smell of alcohol when he spoke, he actually drank it.

Regarding some people saying that he quarreled with Saikawa Village, Murata Keizo flatly denied it.

"I haven't argued with Ms. Qi Chuan. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So last night?"

"I've been in the administrator's room, and because I'm alone, I don't have any witnesses. Keizo Murata said, "If there are no other problems, I'm going to work." ”

Looking at Keizo Murata, who was staggering out of the door, everyone couldn't help but sympathize with the people in this apartment building, such a good guy with a good drink.

"Ahem," the Twilight Police Department said, "Let's get rid of the other people who might be guilty of the crime, and look at these two people alone to see if we can rule them out of suspicion." ”

Mori said, "Eight o'clock in the evening is the key, between seven and eight o'clock, the Tono editor is likely to commit the crime, and after eight o'clock, it is the Murata administrator." ”

At this time, Officer Takagi received a call that the takeaway guy he had contacted the sushi restaurant had arrived.

"I arrived around 8 p.m., and it was a gentleman who picked up the takeaway, ah, this gentleman. ”

The takeaway brother pointed to Shunichi Tono, proving what Shunichi Tono said before about receiving takeaways.

The Twilight Police Department showed a photo, "Did you see this lady from Qichuan Village at that time?" or did you hear something?"

"No, I didn't come in at the door. The takeaway boy said, "By the way, I saw a man about fifty years old in the corridor at that time, and he saw me and left." ”

Mao Li said excitedly: "The police department, it's the administrator, he must be inspecting the situation in Ms. Qi Chuan's apartment, to see if the visitors are gone, and to prepare for the crime." ”

The Twilight Police Department ordered, "Chiba, go and ask him to come over." ”

After a few moments, Officer Chiba smiled wryly and brought in Administrator Keizo Murata, as he was already drunk.

The takeaway brother testified: "It's him." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Murata, didn't you say that you had been in the administrator's office last night, and why did you sneak out of Ms. Saikawa's apartment?"

Keizo Murata took a sip of wine with a big grin, "Ah, I like this very much, during the day when I was drinking a little wine, I was seen by the old woman of Qichuan, and said that she would tell the management company." ”

"What a joke! If you do that, I'm going to be fired!"

"So last night I wanted to go and beg her not to sue me, but there were visitors, so I left. ”

Maori asked, "No, you went to Ms. Qi Chuan's house again at about nine o'clock in the evening, knocked on the door and went in, and then killed her without saying a word." ”

Murata Keisan said unabashedly: "Ha, there is nothing at all, I rang the doorbell, but she didn't come out." ”

"Wait," called Hondo Eiyu, "you mean, you went to Ms. Saikawa's house at nine o'clock last night!"

Yamazaki was speechless, is this drunken confession? Getting the prisoner drunk for retrial is really much more cost-effective than using confessional agents.

"That's right, I went, but only at the door, what's the matter!" Murata Keizo slapped the table and shouted, "If you suspect me, please show me the evidence, evidence! If there is no evidence, don't bother me!"

Officer Takagi asked, "Police Department, do you want to arrest him?"

"Not yet," the Twilight Police Department said with a headache, "We don't have proof, he said it himself, he was just at the door." ”

"Excuse me, officer. A middle-aged man appeared at the door, "I'm Yasunobu Shimazaki, the editor-in-chief of Labyrinth Press, can I go in?"

"Please come in. The Twilight Police Department responded.

"Editor-in-chief, why are you here?" Shunichi Tono hurriedly got up to greet him.

"I received a call from you asking for leave, and I came to take a look. Editor-in-chief Shimazaki asked, "Officer, did you consider Tono a suspect?"

"It was because he admired Mr. Qi Chuan's works that he entered our mystery novel publishing house, which is responsible for all of Mr. Qi Chuan's works. ”

"To be honest, none of the writers in charge of our publishing house are popular, so the performance is not very good, and every fund is precious. ”

"Saikawa-sensei is a forgotten writer, I don't think her work will sell, our business has always been difficult, and if we publish a collection of works that can't be sold, the consequences will be quite difficult, but Tono convinced me. ”

He said that Teacher Qi Chuan had not lived long ago, and he wanted the teacher to see her achievements in this life before she died, so that people could understand Teacher Qi Chuan's excellence, original tricks, perfect composition, and works like jewels. ”

"This time Mr. Qi Chuan's collection was planned by him, he admired Mr. Qi Chuan so much, it was impossible to kill her. ”

"That's all I have to say. ”

The Twilight Police Department nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

At this time, the Twilight Police Department received a call and the results of the autopsy came out.

The corpse's stomach contained remnants of rice and raw seafood, which was sushi, and the time of death was about one hour after eating.

The takeaway was delivered around eight o'clock in the evening, that is, the time of death occurred at about nine o'clock in the evening.

Mori said: "Editor Tono has been drinking with his friends since 8:15 p.m., and Administrator Murata himself said that at 9 p.m., he went to find the deceased, Ms. Saikawa, and the police department, I think I can arrest someone." ”

"Wait," said the Dusk Police Department, "Administrator Murata didn't say he entered the room, only that he was outside the door, and we still don't have enough evidence. ”

Shimazaki Yasunobu confirmed, "So, Tono can already go back, right?"

"Yes, you can. "I'm sorry to delay your time." ”

Yasunobu Shimazaki took Shunichi Tono to say goodbye. ……
