Chapter 12: The Contradictory Mr. Nanda

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Please wait a minute......"

As the sliding door was opened, a man in a bathrobe poked his head out of the box, Lin Xiuyi looked at it slightly, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really a person with clothes and a horse with a saddle. At dinner yesterday, Yasuyuki Minamida was wearing a well-trimmed suit, and coupled with the distance, the whole person looked a mature charm. And now, Yasuyuki Minamida, who is wearing a loose yukata, gives people a sloppy feeling.

"Mr. Nantian, I'm Lin Xiuyi of the Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, I want to delay you for a few minutes and ask you a few questions......"

"Please come in, is it about Miss Shiraishi, it's a pity, I just met Miss Shiraishi and Miss Takujui yesterday, who would have thought that such a thing would happen......" Yasuyuki Nantian let Lin Xiuyi into his box, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with a little sadness.

"This kind of thing, what do you mean......" Lin Xiuyi asked rhetorically with a pretended puzzlement.

"Of course, Miss Shiraishi was killed in the box...... "Yasuyuki Nanda took the initiative to explain to Lin Shuichi.

"Oh, how do you know?" Lin Xiuyi's nerves immediately became vigilant, how long has it been, if every suspect knows the information faster than the police, then what advantage does the police have......

"Oh, I also heard from Mrs. Kakiya next door afterwards. It was a shame that I wasn't by Miss Sakurako's side when she needed her most attention......" Yasuyuki Minamida sighed, and then said with infinite emotion.

"So, can you tell me what you've done since eleven o'clock last night, when the train's restaurant closed, until one o'clock in the morning?"

"Of course, to tell you the truth, after the restaurant closed, because I was rejected by Miss Sakurako, I was a little depressed, and I drank some wine, and my mind was a little unconscious, so I fell asleep on the sofa in the lounge unconsciously......"

"Oh, then can anyone prove your claim?" Lin Xiuyi felt a little strange in his heart when he saw the other party say the whereabouts of the time of the crime without thinking. Even when he claimed to be drunk, he was still able to clearly remember his activities during that time, and his answer gave people a very deliberate feeling.

Lin Xiuyi had deep suspicions about Nantian Yasuyuki from the beginning, and during this interrogation, Nantian Yasuyuki seemed to have been waiting for Lin Xiuyi to ask him where he was at the time of the crime, which is a bit intriguing.

"Oh, I met Mrs. Kakiya who came here to relax, and we chatted casually for a while, and Mrs. Kakiya was very nice, and after knowing that I was rejected by Miss Sakurako, she tried very hard to enlighten me......" Yasuyuki Nanda said unhurriedly.

"What ......is the relationship between you and Mrs. Persimmon Valley?" asked Lin Xiuyi suspiciously.

"Ah...... I didn't know each other at all before I boarded this train, and if it weren't for the fact that I was drunk in the lounge, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known Mrs. Kakitani......," Yasuyuki Nanda said with emotion.

"You mean that you stayed in the rest room of the train with Mrs. Kakiya from eleven o'clock last night until one o'clock in the morning, and were there any other guests there at that time?" Lin Xiuyi continued to ask urgently.

"The other guests? As for the specific time, I think you can get the exact time if you ask Mrs. Kakiya for verification, after all, I felt very dizzy because of alcohol at that time......

……

After repeated confirmations, Lin Xiuyi learned from Nantian Yasuyuki that he had perfect alibi evidence at the time of the crime - the wife of the Kakiya family, who lived next door to her, could confirm that Nantian was indeed staying in the lounge at the time of the crime, although he had not yet had time to ask Mrs. Kakiya to verify this matter, but Lin Xiuyi could see from Nantian's demeanor that Mrs. Kakiya should be able to confirm Nantian's statement.

What's going on, if Mrs. Kakiya really confirms Nantian's statement, then he can completely clear the suspicion. But from last night to now, the person who has the closest relationship with the deceased Erika Shiraishi is this Yasuyuki Minamida, except for Sakurako Sakurai! Could it be that Erika Shiraishi's death really has nothing to do with this Yasuyuki Nanda? Lin Shuichi feels very suspicious even now.

"Mr. Nanda, did you and the deceased Miss Shiraishi know each other before!" Lin Shuichi mentioned the relationship between him and the deceased Erika Shiraishi after learning of Yasuyuki Nanda's alibi. Because from the first time Lin Xiuyi met Yasuyuki Minamida, he felt that there was some kind of connection between him and Erika Shiraishi.

If you want to know each other, I met Miss Takudaii and Miss Shiraishi before I got on the bus, and they carried a lot of salutes with them, so many that the two of them couldn't get on the station's trolley, and I happened to see this scene in the underground garage at that time, so I didn't hesitate to help them, maybe it's for this reason that Miss Shiraishi is willing to help me pursue Miss Takudaii......" Yasuichi Nanda explained in a deadly tone as he recalled.

"Mr. Nanda, listening to your tone, have you given up pursuing Ms. Nagii, but you were still so ......enthusiastic last night," Lin Shuichi could tell from Nanda's answer that his attitude towards Sakurako Tazui seemed to have changed. So I was very concerned about it.

"After all, such a thing happened, and now Miss Shiraishi, who has been assisting me, is no longer alive, and the relationship between me and Miss Sakurako, in the final analysis, can only be regarded as a meeting between Pingshui, I think, no matter what, I have to adjust my mentality before the train arrives at the station, right?" Nantian Yasuyuki asked Lin Xiuichi rhetorically.

Lin Xiuyi looked at the inquiry record between him and Nantian recorded in his notebook, although it seemed that everything was in the past, but Nantian's attitude towards Yingzi had undergone earth-shaking changes in just two hours, from going to the most desperate to the most demanded at all costs, and then to the current initiative to quit, this Nantian Yasuyuki inevitably became too fast. Moreover, there is another thing that makes Lin Xiuyi's testimony very uncomfortable, that is, his testimony seems to have been prepared in advance.

However, Lin Xiuyi can only put these things aside for the time being, and the top priority is to ask Mrs. Kakiya next door about the authenticity of Yasuyuki Nantian's alibi......
