Gao Cheng handed the half of the screw he picked up to the uncle of the criminal police: "The facts are obvious, the murder happened half a year ago, if the window frame was really done half a year ago, these screws that fell in the grass would not be like this at all, this degree of rust, I'm afraid it won't be more than a month, why do you think it's related to the murder?" ”

"This ......," the two criminal police uncles were speechless with calm faces.

"Can you let Tokitsu Junya meet with me?" Gao Cheng said, "I heard that you pressed that maid very hard......"

"Officer Sugita!" A police officer suddenly hurried into the reception room and said anxiously, "Something's wrong!" ”

"What's the matter?" Uncle Criminal Police was stunned.

"Anyway, let's go to the other side of the coast! That suspect seems to have committed suicide by jumping into the sea! ”

"What?"

Gao Cheng stood up awkwardly, looked at the uncle of the criminal police who ran out with a big change in face, didn't think much about it, put away the screws and hurriedly followed behind.

Although I don't know what the specific situation is, whether it has anything to do with the lavender villa incident, just looking at the reactions of several criminal policemen feels that the matter is not small.

On the edge of a beach that had been cordoned off by the police, Gao Cheng hurriedly squeezed into the scene with several criminal policemen, and saw a corpse covered by the shore washed by the waves at a glance.

The uncle of the criminal police named Sugida frowned, and saw Gao Cheng's heart tugging fiercely.

"Officer, don't you ......?"

"We just talked to her before you got to the police station, and we let her go because it still didn't work out."

Uncle Detective smoked a cigarette: "Someone saw her jumping into the sea on a nearby cliff...... I didn't expect to commit suicide. ”

Gao Cheng silently lifted the veil, a petite maid girl lying among the rubble, quietly closing her eyes, looking weak and scared as if she was still alive, but the cold corpse soaked in the sea water had indeed lost its temperature.

Obviously, it would be good if he just waited a little longer, and he would be able to find out the truth after a little longer......

"Sure enough, it's you," Tokitsu Junya entered the scene with some surprise and said to Takasei, "When Officer Sugida said that a detective was looking for me, I wondered if it was you......"

"The screws are rusty, you should have noticed it, right?"

Gao Cheng stood up and looked back at Shi Jin Runya, still with the same annoying look when the corners of his eyes fell and he laughed.

"Why didn't you tell the police? If the police knew, she probably wouldn't have died......"

Shi Jin Runya wiped the tip of his nose helplessly, looked at the corpse on the shore and said, "It's true that I was negligent, but I can't be blamed for this, right?" Even if the screws are rusty to the wrong degree, she is very suspicious, and if she didn't kill anyone, why would she commit suicide in fear of crime? ”

Gao Cheng didn't make a sound, and left with a calm face, but when he passed by Shi Jin Runya's side, he raised his hand and was a slap in the face, and Shi Jin, who was caught off guard, was directly stunned, covering his face and looking at Gao Cheng in disbelief.

"You?!"

"I'm sorry, my hand slipped."

Gao Cheng's face did not change and walked out of the blockade scene, and Ishikawa, who was waiting on the side of the road outside, hurriedly shouted: "Detective Joto ......"

"Please take me to the Lavender Villa again," Gao Cheng interrupted, "at least find out the truth." ”

"Yes." Ishikawa subconsciously responded, and then reacted.

How do you feel like you've become a little brother?

Forget it, the little brother is the little brother, the city detective is indeed different from the average detective......

Lavender Villa, it is still the old man with glasses who entertains everyone, this time Gao Cheng specially pulled the old man together, and carefully inquired about the details of the incident half a year ago.

There are still no clues in the murder room except for the window, and there is no trace of any mechanism in the door.

The whole incident can only start from the window, and whether the maid is innocent or not depends on whether she has touched the window frame.

Although the truncated screws are not rusted to the right degree, and it should only be about a month after falling in the courtyard, the time for the window frame to do manipulation is not necessarily a month ago, because it is possible that the murderer spilled the screws outside afterwards, which is probably the reason why Tokitsu Junya and the police still think that the maid is the murderer after picking it open.

If strong evidence is not found, the maid will really commit suicide as a fear of sin......

"Detective Joto!" Ishikawa excitedly found Gao Cheng, "I've already found out, there have indeed been outsiders coming in the past month, it was a thief disguised as a cleaner, and there are similar cases in other places, probably first tearing down the window frame to do tricks, and then entering the house to steal at other times." ”

Gao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and soon looked heavily at the housekeeper who was speechless.

"Mr. Ryozo Koya, you should have heard about the suicide of the maid Miss Chana...... Are you still planning to leave it alone? Gao Cheng looked directly at the old man and said tightly, "You must know something, right?" Is the eldest lady killing or committing suicide......"

"Huh?" Ishikawa was still a little unable to react, and said in surprise, "Did he know that the eldest lady here committed suicide from the beginning?" ”

Gao Cheng walked to the window and looked at the lavender in the courtyard: "I noticed it when we first met, as long as the old man wanted to stop talking when he killed him, he either knew who the murderer was, or knew that the eldest lady committed suicide." ”

"But," Ishikawa said incomprehensibly, "why didn't he tell the police in the first place, so the maid wouldn't have ......"

"This is because ......" said the old man with glasses bowing his head and shoulders trembling, and closing his eyes tightly, "the eldest lady is addicted to drugs, and she has actually tried to commit suicide all this time...... For the sake of Miss's reputation, I can't say anything about it......"

Ishikawa's eyes widened: "How come?" ”

The old man choked up and said: "I thought that Miss Chana's suspicion would be cleared as soon as it was investigated, but I didn't expect it to become like this, I'm really sorry......"

Gao Cheng turned around and looked at the housekeeper leaning over in pain, shook his head and said, "You should apologize to Miss Chana...... Go to the police and explain it, at least Miss Chanel will be innocent. ”

In the afternoon, Takasei took the return train with Ishikawa as he saw him off.

"Detective Joto, next time I'm free, I'll definitely take you on a good tour of Shikoku." Ishikawa was a little reluctant, feeling like he was missing a friend.

"Okay." Gao Cheng smiled and got into the car with the crowd with his luggage.

I should be happy to finish my work and go back to Tokyo, but I still can't relax when I think about the lavender villa.

Perhaps because of the impact, the media did not report on it with much fanfare, and did not mention much about the specific circumstances of the case, including the names of him and Tokitsu Junya, which did not appear in the newspapers, but only publicly cleared the suspicion of the maid Chana.

But the end of a young girl is gone, how can it be a little difficult to let go.

The thief, the housekeeper and the criminal police who handle the case are all responsible, but the most hateful thing is Shi Jin Junya, who can speak in front of the police, is suspicious, and has no sense of responsibility at all.
