Saturday, January 5th, afternoon, Osaka City Naniwa Central Gymnasium, Annex Sports Warehouse.

Hattori ran to try to enter the warehouse, but the police, who didn't want to stand guard at the warehouse gate, stopped him, so Hattori called Officer Otaki on his mobile phone and asked him to come over.

Hattori hung up the phone and sorted out his thoughts, the most problematic point of this incident is to move Atsushi Tatsumi from the warehouse to the changing room of the swimming pool, the murderer can kill someone and leave, today there are thousands of people here, there are not a few who act alone, it is difficult for the police to find out, so there is only one reason why the murderer has such a big effort, that is, the murderer has to do it.

The body of Atsushi was removed after the three of them saw it, such as Mitani Mineo, Kiruguchi Kiriyuki, and Kotegawa Jun.

If this is a fortuitous event, Atsushi Tarumi was secretly drinking in the warehouse, and he met a knife thief who came to the warehouse to play with knives, and the two disagreed and got into a fight, and the knife thief accidentally killed Atsushi Tarumi, and then the knife thief hurriedly left to prepare to carry the body to cover up the alibi.

After the knife thief left, the three of Miya Fengnan, Kiriyuki Kaguchi, and Kotegawa Jun came over, and then the knife thief saw that there was no one in the warehouse and stuffed the body in a protective bag and moved away.

Is this just going to happen? That knife is not a famous knife, what kind of thief would steal it and take it to the warehouse to play? So this incident should be a murder incident, so the murderer should have prepared everything and then went to kill Atsushi Tarumi.

But in this way, after the murderer killed Atsushi Tarumi, he should immediately pack him up and take him away, and the three of them would not be able to see the body.

Therefore, there is only one situation in which the three of them can see the remains, that is, before the murderer killed Atsushi Tatsumi and had no time to leave the warehouse, they were blocked in the warehouse by the three people who came to find someone.

But in this way, the murderer must be afraid to hide in the warehouse, and when he finds that the three of them left the warehouse in a hurry, he will definitely think about leaving quickly, so as not to be blocked at the scene of the murder, and he will hurriedly pack the body, and this will definitely be seen by the little Tegawa Jun who turned back to the warehouse.

But Kotegawa Jun said that he turned back after he came out to borrow a mobile phone, and only saw Atsushi Tarumi, if he didn't lie, it was the murderer who heard the footsteps and hid again, and then waited for Otegawa Jun to leave, and then packed the body of Atsushi Tarumi.

However, since the three of them, Mitani Mineo, Kiguchi Noriyuki, and Kotegawa Jun, saw the body of Atsushi Tarumi, that is, the approximate time of death can already be determined, just the time between the last time they saw Atsushi Tarumi and the body of Atsushi Tarumi, and during this time, the murderer must have no alibi, so what's the point of carrying the body to cover up the time of death?

There was also a phone call to the front desk lady, asking them to find the body of Atsushi Tarumi again, if there was no phone call, then the time when Atsushi Tarumi's body was found would probably be a few hours later, so that because the time of death was uncertain, there would be more suspects, and this would not be more conducive to the murderer to hide? So there was only one reason for the murderer to call, that is, the murderer had a clear alibi at that time.

On the one hand, the murderer covered up the time of death, and on the other hand, he called people to find the body and reconfirm the time of death, and this time was only delayed by about fifteen minutes, that is, the murderer knew that he had an alibi during these fifteen minutes.

The murderer did all this for fear that the police would find out the true time of death, so Atsushi Tatsumi was still alive and not dead before those fifteen minutes, and the time of his real death was within those fifteen minutes.

Not to mention the others, the four companions who met Atsushi had two alibi certificates in those fifteen minutes, Miya Mineo and Kotegawa Jun.

Following the instructions of the ambulance crews, Kotegawa returned to the warehouse to observe the condition of the injured, saying that he was not sure if Atsushi Hirumi was dead at the time.

Here I was negligent, if Kotegawa Jun really told the ambulance staff about the situation of Atsushi Tarumi, saying that he was covered in blood, the ambulance staff would definitely ask Kotegawa Jun to find nearby medical personnel to come to bandage it, or guide Otegawa Jun to urgently bandage Atsushi Otegawa through the mobile phone, and he would never just let Otegawa Jun take a look and leave, so Kotegawa Jun must have lied to the ambulance staff on the phone.

In this case, Kotegawa Jun deliberately went to call an ambulance, and he knew that the ambulance staff would ask the caller to check on the injured again. He asked Miangu Fengnan to call the police, but he didn't care about the carcass Guizhi, because he knew that the timid and blood-fearing Carcass Guizhi would definitely go to Hakamata Masanori, so he broke away from the Miangu Fengnan and the carcass Guizhi outside the warehouse at that time.

The next question is whether Kotegawa Jun lied about the fact that he only saw Atsushi Tarumi when he returned to the warehouse.

If anything, then Kotegawa Jun is an accomplice, and if not, then this incident is even more interesting.

Thinking of this, Hattori found that the Otaki Police Department was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask the Otaki Police Department to take him to the warehouse to have a look.

"No problem," the Otaki police department asked, "but what do you want to see?"

"You'll find out later. Hattori laughed.

Hattori and the Otaki Police Department entered the warehouse, and then touched the ground in front of the jump box, and found that there was no dust, apparently it had been wiped not long ago.

The Otaki Police Department said: "It's strange that the forensic officers did not find blood stains on the ground. ”

"Really?" Hattori smelled a smell of paint coming from inside the jump box, so he pushed open the top layers of the jump box, and found a person wearing a full set of protective gear lying inside the jump box, and there were still a lot of blood stains on his body.

When the Otaki Police Department saw it, they were taken aback, "It's another corpse!"

Hattori laughed, "Don't you smell it? It's not blood, it's just paint." ”

"Huh, paint?" the Otaki Police Department was surprised.

Hattori smiled, "See clearly, this is just a practice dummy." ”

"What?" asked the Otaki Police Department, "what the hell is going on?"

Hattori smiled: "You can catch that little Tegawa Jun, just catch him." ”

The Otaki Police Department asked, "Could it be that he is the murderer?"

"yes, he's the murderer who played everyone around. Hattori said, "He took advantage of the weakness of Atsushi Tarumi's drunkenness, as well as the hatred between Atsushi Tarumi and Hakamata Masayo." ”

The Otaki Police Department asked, "How do you say that?"

"Kotegawa Jun first poured the drunken Atsushi Tarumi with fast-acting sleeping pills, and when he passed out, he brought him here, gave him a knife, sprinkled paint on him, and then returned to the kendo tournament venue, and brought the person when he started looking for Atsushi Tarumi. Hattori said, "The lights in this warehouse were broken by him, and Atsushi Tatsushi Warumi who fell asleep looked like he was dead, and then he said to call an ambulance and ask Miya Fengao to call the police, and he knew that Guan Gukou was timid and afraid of blood, and he would definitely go to Hakamata Masayo, so that there would be no one at the door of the warehouse." ”

The Otaki Police Department asked, "Did he let the murderer hiding in the warehouse attack the victim when he broke up with the others?"

"I thought about it too, but when I saw this dummy, I understood. Hattori said, "Under the pretext of checking the condition of the injured, Kotegawa Jun came back and forcibly woke him up and asked him to see this dummy. ”

The Otaki Police Department asked, "Wait, what if someone comes along?"

Hattori said, "Simple, he was on the phone, assigning someone to follow him in the name of an ambulance worker. ”

The Otaki Police Department said, "I see. ”

"Kotegawa Jun must have said that Hakamata Masamichi came to him just now but never went back, and he came to see it but found that he had killed Hakamata Masamichi and told him to flee quickly. Hattori said, "Seeing that Atsushi must have believed it in a panic, he followed Kotegawa's advice, wiped the floor, packed the wiping equipment, put on a full set of protective gear, and went to the changing room of the swimming pool to clean." ”

The Otaki Police Department asked, "So who killed him, Mr. Hakamata who was waiting there?"

"If it was Hakamata Masadi or someone else, since they wanted to cover up the real time of death, they would not agree to call the front desk lady afterwards, because that would be equivalent to saying that the incident happened before the phone call, and during that period of time, it is impossible for the murderer to have an alibi, so even if he wants to call, it will be hours later. Hattori said, "So there is only one murderer, and that is Kotegawa Jun." After returning the borrowed action, he went to the swimming pool locker room and waited, and when Atsushi Tarumi came, he attacked and killed him, and then ran to the police station, using Miya Mineo to make an alibi. ”

The Otaki Police Department asked, "Then why did he call the front desk lady? There is hot water to constantly wash the body, and the time of death cannot be determined, shouldn't it be delayed as long as possible?"

Hattori said: "He was weak-hearted, afraid that he would have something wrong, and the police locked him up based on this, so he put the time of the incident when he had a clear alibi, so that he would not be arrested." ”

"Huh?" the Otaki Police Department didn't understand.

Hattori said: "The police saw this dummy, and there was no blood on the ground, after thinking about it carefully, they must have thought that at that time, the three of them saw only this dummy, and Tarumi Atsushi was not dead at the time, and then understood that the time of death of Atsushi Tarumi was from the fifteen minutes between the three of Miya Mineo, Carcass Noriyuki, and Kotegawa Jun from the time they came here to find the remains of Atsushi Taruto. ”

The Otaki Police Department said, "Well, in this way, with Mr. Miguya-san as a witness, Mr. Otegawa has a perfect alibi." ”……
