Chapter 229: The Discovery of the White Bird
"What about the suspicion of those two people?" Mizuma asked.
"They can do alibi to each other. Shiratori said.
"Tell me about it. “
"It's already written here. Shiratori handed the notes to Mizuma to understand the situation, but still explained, "Manda-sensei's editor blocked him in the hotel and forced him to write, and it took him two hours to write, which happened to include the estimated time of death. “
"Not to mention the possibility of mutual perjury, did the editor personally watch Wantian keep writing?" Mizuma asked again.
"Of course not. Shiratori said, "How can there be a writer writing a manuscript next to the interference, of course sitting in the corridor...... If you say that, you may be able to sneak away from the editor...... Why do you think of me like that? Shiratori noticed that Mizuma was looking at him with a strange expression.
"You...... Shouldn't you maintain the author you once loved?" Mizuma looked at Shiratori with an expression of "you don't follow the script".
"Please...... Anyway, I'm also a police officer, and I still have these professional ethics. Shiratori said proudly, and then sighed: "And I found that only the person who was suspected by you must have been proven to be the murderer in the end, although there is some idealism, but I am going to admit your evil, I really don't know if you are intuitive or have already seen the truth." “
"Really, then I'll try to doubt that Kobayashi-sensei next time. Mizuma said with a wicked smile.
"Don't make a fuss, okay?" Shiratori smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that if you doubt it, it will become true." ”
"It's just that I'm the only one who can doubt it, and the editor doesn't know the deceased, so it's hard for you to make me suspect those kids. Mizuma said as a matter of course.
"What about suicide, what about robbers and murder?" Shiratori asked, "Why are these automatically excluded?"
"Well...... How long has it been since we've encountered this kind of case?I'm just an empiricist, you reminded me, you reminded me!" There was a pause, and Mizuma reluctantly explained, and it was hard for him to tell Shiratori: "You live in a world made up of detective anime, so everything is like a drama, and the murderer of the case will appear before the truth is solved."
"I'm afraid ......not," Shiratori was about to continue, but Mizuma Moon raised her hand and interrupted, "Handle the case! Stop chatting!" After saying that, he went to check out the doll models.
"What's going on here?" Before Mizuma could take a step, the voice of a middle-aged woman came from the hallway.
It didn't take long for a police officer to lead a woman over: "Police Department, this lady came in through the back door." “
"Back door?" Mizuma raised her eyebrows, and after the police came, they did find that the back door was not locked, so Shiratori would bring up the idea of robbers killing people.
"My name is Ichimura Jiehe, and I am a domestic helper hired by Mr. Yuan, and I come to clean regularly every day. The domestic lady also seemed to have seen the world, and introduced herself without waiting for the officers to ask.
"Then you're here to help. Mizuma Moon seemed to greet him very warmly: "Let's not mention what happened, can I ask you first, the books, models, and dolls in this room are all upside down, is it a special habit of Mr. Yuan?"
"Or has this been the case before?" Kato Kumanobu asked, as his observation of the car model led him to conclude that the reversal had just happened in a relatively short period of time.
"I don't think so, at least I've never seen him have such quirks. Mrs. Ichimura, the maid, thought seriously, "But it may have something to do with another quirk of his." “
"Oh? Mizuma Moon said that he would like to hear about it.
"He was very fond of playing tricks on me, and there were many times when he did some tricks that were hard to clean up before I came, such as stringing slippers together and stacking them up, getting a big chunk of hair out of nowhere, or laying pictures flat on the floor, and then hiding behind the door and smirking at me as I labored to clean up. If he turned everything inside out of the room just for that, it would make sense. Mrs. Ichimura said.
"What a bad person. Kato Kuma commented confidently.
"I can't say that. Unexpectedly, the maid was not very disgusted by the deceased's behavior: "This child seems to be a little autistic, very reluctant to communicate with others, except for me, it seems that he will only communicate with Mr. Wantian, so I pity him and try to find some topics to talk to him about." "Mrs. Ichimura is indeed much older than the deceased, so I guess I have some maternal affection.
"Mr. Manda? Mizuma asked.
"Yes, and Mr. Wantian's prank also knows, if you don't trust me, you can ask him for verification, he is a famous writer, and he will definitely not lie...... But can you tell me what happened to Mr. Harato, was he attacked, or was he ...... Killed someone?" asked Mrs. Ichimura worriedly.
"Why do you ask that?" Mizumatsuki asked rhetorically, the autopsy that could be done at the scene had been completed, and Gao Ping's body had been pulled away.
"Is that bloodstain?" said Mrs. Ichimura, standing outside the door, pointing to the irregular reddish-brown pattern on the floor of the house, "It looks like it's hard to clean up." “
"Honestly, you don't have to worry about it, because Mr. Harato was attacked and killed. Mizumatsuki said, "Even if you work, you won't get paid." ”
"That's ...... like this" Mrs. Ichimura was not surprised when she heard the news of Takahei's death, but said in a low voice: "I thought he was arguing with Mr. Manda, and he injured Mr. Manda." ”
"For ...... Why?" Mizuma twitched, this helper was very receptive, but his mind was not ordinarily active.
"Because there's a 'Do Not Disturb Writing' sign on the door. Mrs. Ichimura pointed to the door: "Since he put the trick on me in the house, I will definitely take off this sign when I come, so he must have been writing when the accident happened." ”
"He's got some psychological problems, and he's so strong that if something happens, he's probably going to do it, and he's only familiar with me and Manda-sensei, so I think if he attacks someone, only Manda-sensei will be attacked. Mrs. Ichimura said reasonably.
Mizuma asked a few more questions by the way, and after asking them, she called the police to come over and take Mrs. Ichimura to make a more detailed record, and Shiratori came over at this time.
"How's it going? There's another person to be suspicious of, do you want to be suspicious?" asked Shiratori with a wicked smile.
"Yes. Shui Jianyue nodded without hesitation, but hesitated for a moment before explaining: "She was not surprised to find out that after the accident in the original family, she reacted after hearing the death of the original Gaoping, and spoke clearly as if she was prepared, and the most important thing is ......"
"She said before that if the deceased attacked someone else, there would be only one possibility left for Wantian, did she want to imply to me that if the deceased was attacked, the murderer was likely to be Wantian?" Mizuma thought as she pinched her chin, not seeing Shiratori roll her eyes wildly.
