"The death should be around the time of the fireworks, that is, around seven o'clock! This time is still certain, because at that time, Sonoko and I saw the murderer wearing a raincoat and a mask after the fireworks started to set off, so the time when he killed Chihiro Itami was basically at this point, so Miss Sano! Do you have an alibi? ”

"This ...... Of course! Because when the first fireworks were fired, Xiaolan and I were both at the skating rink! Right? Xiaolan? ”

"Hmmm! This one is! ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Xiaolan! You must know that the toilet is about 30 seconds away from the skating rink, and it is possible if the murderer rushes back quickly after committing the crime! ”

After hearing that Izumi Sano really pulled out his alibi, and that he was still looking for Xiaolan to testify against him, Yuichi thought about it for a while and asked cautiously.

"Ahh Brother Youyi! This one...... When the fireworks were set off, all three of them were there, and there was only a 10-second difference between the first and second fireworks, so I thought ......"

"So you think all three of them have alibis, don't you? In this case, it seems that Mr. Oda Kunitomo is the only one who does not have an alibi! ”

"What? Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Yuichi! I'm innocent! I really didn't kill Chihiro! ”

Hearing that Yuichi pointed the finger at himself following Xiaolan's proof, Oda Kuniyu suddenly frowned and tried his best to explain.

Seeing that Oda Kuniyu was a little flustered, Yuichi immediately waved his hand at him.

"Mr. Oda, don't be afraid, I'm just trying to reason with some clues I have now! There's no designation that you're the real culprit, so don't be nervous! After all, sometimes alibi can also be faked! Isn't it? ”

Just as Yuichi was comforting Oda Kunitomo, Takagi, who had been informed by Judy, finally arrived at the scene with the police officers who had searched the first class, and after evacuating the melon-eating crowd around the scene, Takagi, who was sweating profusely, came to Yuichi.

"Kudo Police Department! Search a lesson Takaki Wataru came to report! ”

"Hmmm! Brother Takagi is here? Then don't be easy! Send a few people to the hidden corners between the rink and the toilet to find out if there are any bloodstained raincoats and masks. Then ask the people from the forensics department to give the four of them, each of them to do a gunsmoke reaction, and then examine the body of the deceased! Although there is not much hope, but this shotgun should be taken for a fingerprint test! ”

Seeing Takagi coming, Yuichi arranged the task and Takagi in an orderly manner, and he is getting better and better at adapting to the position of the police department.

Takagi, who got Yuichi's order, didn't say much, and after arranging the manpower according to Yuichi's instructions, he also followed Yuichi curiously around the corpse, and Yuichi couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this.

"How? Brother Takagi! Did you find anything? Tell us your opinion! ”

Takagi who heard Yuichi say this immediately shook his head into a rattle, and explained with a red face.

"Kudo Police Department! Don't say that! I really don't have any opinion on this, you are the detective who solved the case in our search lesson, how dare I show off in front of you at this level! ”

"It's okay! It's okay! It's like we're playing a game of reasoning, and we don't hold you accountable. What are you nervous about, no one can go on all the time, and I also have times when I missed it! So Brother Takagi, give me some inspiration! ”

"This ...... All right! Then I'll tell you what I think! ”

When Yuichi said this, Takagi also knew that he couldn't push it anymore, and after gritting his teeth, he stared at the corpse on the ground and sorted out his thoughts, and then he plucked up the courage to talk to Yuichi about his thoughts.

"First of all, I think it's a suspicion that the deceased died in the women's bathroom!"

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because, if a man is dating a woman, he usually doesn't choose this women's bathroom that he doesn't usually come to, right? After all, it's always bad to be bumped into by someone, and if the deceased asks someone to meet, I don't think a man usually comes to such a sensitive place, so from this aspect, maybe the murderer is a woman! So for the sake of privacy, the deceased and the murderer made an appointment here! ”

"Hmmm! That's a train of thought! Reasonable! Takagi, you go on! ”

"Good!"

Takagi, who was affirmed by Yuichi, suddenly became excited, and after calming down his mood, he immediately said the second point of his suspicions.

"Then there is this shotgun and the bloodstain information on the wall, from the wall, this bloodstain is a very clear S-shape, plus this shotgun on the ground, it is easy for us to cast our suspicious eyes on Miss Sano, who heard that there was an argument with Miss Itami before, but the murderer is obviously a novice, after she shot through Chihiro Itami's mouth, Chihiro Itami definitely died immediately, so I think she definitely doesn't have time to leave such an S-type bloodstain information with blood stains after she bleeds, if you look at it this way, Someone should want to blame Miss Sano! I heard that Miss Sano didn't like to watch fireworks before, if it weren't for the sudden interest today, without Xiaolan's alibi, then her suspicion really couldn't get rid of! ”

"Oh? Is that the second point you're going to make? Takagi? ”

"Yes! Kudo Police Department! That's all I have to say! ”

"Very nice! I basically have my own thinking logic, especially at the beginning of the analysis of the problem from the place of death of the deceased is very good, as for your subsequent reasoning about type S bloodstains, I also agree with it! As for the assertion that Miss Sano was framed, I think it can be put aside for now! After all, you haven't understood everything about the situation, so it's not good to jump to such an arbitrary conclusion! ”

"This ...... Yes, indeed! Thank you Kudo Police Department for your advice! ”

Hearing what Yuichi said to himself, Takagi also felt very reasonable, and after admitting his mistake for making a conclusion so quickly just now, Takagi immediately thanked Yuichi.

Yuichi was a little surprised to see Takagi's sycophant, but then he thoughtfully pointed at Takagi.

"You boy! It's hard enough for Sato! All right! I'm convinced of you, too! As long as you solve this puzzle, I'll give you another red line! ”

After Yuichi, who figured out why Takagi was suddenly so enthusiastic about himself, threw the mobile phone with the evidence bag in his pocket to Takagi, Takagi was tempted by a wicked look on his face.

And Takagi, who heard Yuichi's help, immediately took the phone in his hand, but when he saw the KIX and the eight pound numbers on it, he immediately understood that this was not something he could challenge, and immediately cried with a sad face and pretended to be pitiful to Yuichi beside him.
