At eight o'clock the next morning,

Because there is a task today, Motota and the others, who have always liked to sleep lazily on their rest days, got up early to wash and dress, and when Judy called them to Kudo's house for breakfast, several people who were full of confidence urged Takagi, who was still a little apprehensive, to set off.

According to the information of Higashida Ichiro and their company indicated in the file, Takagi and others came to the company at the time of clocking in at work, and after some communication, Mr. Aoi, the president of the company, came to Takagi and them.

Takagi, who had already had a question in his heart, immediately asked.

"Mr. Aoi! I'm so sorry! Excuse me! I would like to check with you on the day of Miss Muranishi's accident, did there anything unusual about Mr. Kitagawa in your company? ”

"Kitagawa? Isn't the murderer Higashida? ”

"Yes! But we want to check again! After all, human lives matter! ”

That's right! Then I'll help you think about it! Beichuan probably didn't come to work that day! That's right! He's on leave! It's really strange to look at it this way, that day he just said that he was sick and wanted to recuperate and asked for leave, but he actually went out to drink with Dongtian at night, because of this, I also criticized him severely! ”

"Really? I think I get it! Thank you for your cooperation! By the way, by the way, what was the relationship between Miss Muranishi and Mr. Kitagawa during your lifetime? ”

After asking this question, I remembered what Judy said to him yesterday, and although I didn't believe it in my heart, Takagi still listened to the opinion and asked in order to solve the case.

"Relationship? Not bad! At least the cooperation at work is okay, but I heard from my subordinates that Muranishi seems to be chasing Xichuan recently, so I don't know the specific situation! ”

"Is that so? I think I get it! ”

Takagi was a little ecstatic when he got the information he wanted, and after thanking President Aoi, he immediately turned around and set off towards Kitagawa's house with his think tank.

Sure enough, women's vision is different from men's, if Judy hadn't mentioned such a sentence yesterday, how could Takagi know such important information? If I guessed correctly, the marriage registry left in the matchbox under the cabinet should have been a surprise prepared by Miss Muranishi for Mr. Kitagawa. Come to think of it, it's a bit strange for a non-smoking woman to have a matchbox at home, maybe that box of matches was prepared for Mr. Kitagawa.

"Kitagawa Kanna! You can't run! ”

Takagi and others, who had already locked on the murderer, immediately investigated around the suspicion that Beichuan was the murderer, and it turned out that this investigation really found that in the home store not far from Beichuan's house, a clerk pointed out that Beichuan in the photo had gone to them to buy a gray bed three-piece set and curtains. And Kitakawa's fingerprints were also found on the matchbox, and there were no fingerprints of his in the entire Miss Muranishi's house, but Kitakawa's fingerprints were found on the matchbox found under the cabinet of Miss Muranishi's house. So, even if he said that he went in and out of that apartment to find Higashida Ichiro, no one would believe him, right?

Takagi and the others, who had basically established the chain of evidence, checked each other and walked towards the Kitagawa house not far away.

"Dangdang!"

"Who? Knock on the door early in the morning! Hey? Are you the policeman who went to the izakaya yesterday? What are you here for? ”

"Oh! I know! Didn't I say that? I've said everything I need to say! What else do you want me to say to you? I've been feeling a little unwell lately, so I'm not entertaining you! Please! ”

"Oops! Don't! Mr. Kitagawa! I know that you are sad in your heart right now, but in order to let Higashida Ichiro lay down as soon as possible and Miss Muranishi can rest in peace as soon as possible, please tell me more details about the situation when the body was found that day! ”

Seeing that Kitagawa Kawanai was about to close the door to send off guests with a yawn, how could Takagi, who had already had a plan, let him close the door easily, and after pushing the door with one hand, Takagi stood in front of Kitagawa Kawanai with a smile on his face and asked sincerely.

Maybe it was because he was moved by Takagi's professionalism, or maybe there were other ulterior reasons in it, Kitagawa Kano, who was going to send off the guests, didn't refuse coldly after hearing Takagi's words, and explained impatiently after pondering for a while.

"Listen up! I'll tell you police one last time! It is...... Higashida and Muranishi never came to work, and no one answered the phone, so I went to see what was going on! As a result, no one answered when I rang the doorbell, so I asked the administrator to open the room in the west of the village, but the door chain of the door in the west of the village was brought, and Dongtian was still lying on her bed, so I yelled at Dongtian to get up and asked him to get the door chain and let me go in with the administrator. Afterward...... As you know, we found out that Muranishi was strangled to death in the bathroom! That's about how it happened! I'm done! Can you go back? ”

"Ahh Wait...... Wait a minute! ”

"What's wrong? Are you doubting what I'm saying? ”

"No, it's not! We're just suspicious of you! ”

"You're the murderer, right?"

"It's useless to deny!"

"Uncle! Doing bad things will soon be revealed! ”

Before Takagi fired the first shot of resistance, Mitsuhiko and the others standing behind him took the lead in firing one after another, and Kitagawa Konoya, who heard their words, suddenly became annoyed and angry, grabbed the door and was about to close it.

"Enough of you imps! The evidence of Ichiro Higashida's murder is conclusive! Still want to slander me? Did it work? Want to play detective games, right? It's a pity you're looking for the wrong person! Get out of here! ”

"Wait a minute! I said wait, didn't you hear that? Mr. Kitagawa! Or are you a thief? Let's talk about it! Why did you change the sheets and other things and curtains at Miss Muranishi's house! Why are those household items that are supposed to be beige gray! ”

Facing Kitagawa Kanna, who wanted to retract behind the door, and remembering Sato who was still waiting in the bathroom, Wataru Takagi summoned up his man's courage, slapped the door aside, and pointed to Kitagawa's chest with a sneer.

"What curtains sheets! I do not know! ”

"Really? But the information given to us by a clerk in the department store not far away was not like that! He said, Mr. Kitagawa, have you bought gray quilt covers, bed sheets and curtains there! ”

"So what? The curtains and sheets in my room were old so bought a new one! As a result, I didn't like this set too much and lost them again, can't I? ”

"Yes! Of course! But does this matchbox Mr. Kitagawa have any impressions? There are Mr. Kitagawa's fingerprints on it! I advise you to think of an excuse before you speak! ”

In the face of Kitagawa's denial, Takagi and the others had thought of it before, and after seeing him like this, Takagi smiled coldly and took out a matchbox from his pocket that was contained in the evidence bag.

"This ...... This is! Bastard! That slut in the west of the village! I haven't torn this thing off yet! Lao Tzu said that he was just having fun with her! Why won't she let me go? Is it bad for everyone to break up peacefully? Why do you have to use this piece of paper to force me to kill her! And that bastard from Higashida, he's obviously just a poor worm, why does the president trust him so much! What an injustice this world is! Finally, there are you, obviously the case is decided, why do you keep tracking down? Can't you go to the road to help your grandmother if you have nothing to do? You're all a bunch of bastards! I'm going to kill you! ”

Beichuan, who looked at the matchbox's face becoming more and more gloomy, gritted his teeth and suddenly roared viciously, and then rushed towards the group of imps at Takagi's feet.

It's a pity that Judy, who had been prepared for a long time, how could he let him take hostage so easily, and after pushing Takagi away from the place, he raised his leg to the oncoming Kitagawa Xiangwu, and imprinted it on Kitagawa Xiangwu's face with his stiletto heels that looked scared.

"I want to hurt the kids! Have you asked me if I did? ”

Looking at Kitagawa Kanai who fell on the spot, Takagi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took out the handcuffs around his waist and rushed over, and since then, the grievances of the dead ghost Higashida Ichiro have finally been obtained.
