Chapter 53: The Problem

Surveys can be fun and boring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And when asking the relevant personnel, it is even more of a brain-consuming thing.

This is not just a matter of asking, but also to carefully observe the person being asked, observing some of his small movements, the tone of his speech, the changes in his eyes, the coherence and logic of his answers before and after, and so on.

These observations are then used to infer whether the person is lying, or is talking nonsense, or telling the truth.

So it's really not easy to be a good criminal investigation policeman and detective.

Because people lie, sometimes unconsciously, sometimes subconsciously, and sometimes intentionally.

Reasoning is also difficult if you can't tell what is a lie, what is true, what is useful and what is not.

Of course, these are mainly for people who are close to the case, and it is not necessary to ask witnesses in general.

The staff at the hotel basically went out at three o'clock in the afternoon because it was a lunch break.

When I came back, I didn't find any strange people.

If anything, it was a woman with a child running upstairs in a panic.

This refers to Xiaolan.

It was when Ran and Conan wanted to wake up Yumi Horikoshi to watch the fireworks together.

"At that time, we walked to Aunt Yumi's door, and we wanted to go in and wake her up......"

"I stopped them."

Nakamichi Kazushi said it directly.

Uncle wasn't there at that time, so I didn't know much about it.

In fact, when Ran and Conan were about to go in and wake up Yumi Horikoshi, they were stopped by Kazushi Nakamichi.

According to Xiaolan, plus Conan's intentional or unintentional addition, so the uncle also has a general understanding.

For example, at that time, Nakamichi and Zhi were sweating profusely, saying that they had just come out of a shower or something.

The reason why Xiaolan and them were stopped was also justified.

Familiar with everyone knows that it's best not to wake her up when Yumi Horikoshi sleeps, otherwise the anger of getting up will be bearable.

So there's nothing to doubt about that.

Besides, what the uncle cares about now is not this, but other things.

For example, Jun Omura.

"Ah Chun, what are you hiding?"

"What?"

"Don't pretend, you've been looking like something isn't quite right since the evening, you must be hiding something."

The uncle's words are categorical, and he has obviously determined this.

It's true, since before, the uncle has been very concerned.

Especially after he said the inferred time of death, Jun Omura's face became even more wrong.

So, he definitely knows something.

"If you don't say it, I have reason to suspect that you are a murderer."

The uncle grabbed Jun Omura's collar directly, he was very irritable now.

The old classmate is dead, and the murderer is likely to be another old classmate.

This kind of bad luck can happen to everyone......

Shouldn't you have brought Conan, the Grim Reaper schoolboy, with you?

"I saw it by accident."

I have to say that Jun Omura's psychological quality is indeed a little worse, and as soon as the uncle acted like this, he immediately confessed.

"I saw it when I went to the toilet from the table tennis room."

"Did you see the murderer?"

"No, it's Yumi."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Uncle frowned.

"When you went to the bathroom, it was already five o'clock, and Yumi speculated that the time of death was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, how could you still see it?"

It's really impossible, unless hell of it.

But are there ghosts in this world?

This uncle can't be sure.

It's just that although he doesn't know if there are ghosts in the world, he knows that many people have ghosts in their hearts.

"It's true."

Finding that everyone didn't believe it, Jun Omura hurriedly assured that what he said was true.

"At that time, I saw her from the window on the second floor with a serious expression, staring at every move in the table tennis room."

"How is that possible?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"There's never going to happen like that."

Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio Ayajo, and Kazushi Nakamichi have always denied such things.

The uncle didn't express any opinions, just silently put on his clothes.

I suddenly remembered that I was wearing a yukata now, so I didn't have pockets, so I didn't have cigarettes.

Just as he was about to sigh, he suddenly found a small white hand holding a cigarette case and a lighter, handed to him.

"Daddy."

"Oh, thank you."

Answered, and took the cigarette case and lighter from Xiaolan's hand.

Take out a cigarette and light it and bite it in your mouth.

I took a deep breath and spit it out slowly.

Everyone didn't believe Atsushi Omura's words, but Uncle did.

Not only the uncle, but Conan also believed that there was no need for Jun Omura to lie on this point, because if this was confirmed, it would be disadvantageous for him.

Because at that time, he was the only one who left the table tennis room, and there was no one else, and if Yumi Horikoshi was still alive at that time, the biggest suspicion was himself.

And whether there is a lie or not, the uncle can also see it.

What's more, the most suspicious is not Jun Omura, but Kazushi Nakamichi.

Now what puzzles the uncle is that if Jun Omura is telling the truth, then why, Yumi Horikoshi's body is stiff to that extent? If it really happened to die after five o'clock, it would not have been possible.

This is a suspicion, and the second is an alibi.

Alibi, no problem, everyone was in the table tennis room at that time.

Of course, if the time when the case occurred is indeed not that time period, then everyone's alibi will be problematic.

If you extrapolate from Atsushi Omura's words, when the murder occurred, it was after five o'clock, or even after six o'clock, and there was no alibi, it was Kazushi Nakamichi, as well as Yukio Ayaki and Noriko Ayashiro.

At that time, the uncle and Jun Omura went to the scene of the fireworks festival together, and the suspicion could basically be ruled out.

Yukio Ayaki and Noriko Ayaki are together, but the possibility of a partnership is not ruled out.

Nakamichi Kazushi is on his own, and he has time at all.

But in this case, the stiffness of the corpse cannot be explained.

"What the hell is going on?"

The uncle smoked a cigarette and squinted, his eyes swept over the bodies of several old classmates.

The pistol that was lost a few days ago、The stiffness of the corpse、Not wearing underwear、Wide yukata、Fingers not on the trigger、Yumi Horikoshi seen after five o'clock by Jun Omura。

How can these doubts be connected into a complete event?

Perhaps, there is a little less crucial.

Now the most suspicious is Nakamichi Kazushi.

If the direction of reasoning is to take Nakamichi Kazushi as the murderer, then it can be guessed that the two people have a grudge because of something, which led to Nakamichi Kazushi murderous intent and finally killed Yumi Horikoshi.

Or maybe it's just a momentary miss.

But either way, it seems that at the point of the pistol, it is a bit unexplainable.

At that time, the uncle met Yumi Horikoshi, and then the pistol was lost.

Now that the pistol is here, it is likely that Yumi Horikoshi took it, and Kazushi Nakamichi didn't know about it at all, because he was a policeman in Chiba, and the uncle didn't talk about it.

So if he had killed someone, he wouldn't have known to use this pistol......

Wait a minute.

What if he knew about the existence of a pistol?
