"Oh? You are? Mr. Naoya Tarumi? I'm sorry, but we're not interrogating you as suspects, but we're just learning a little bit about the specific circumstances of the crime! Please cooperate! ”

"Cooperation? What else is there to investigate here? It must have been the crystal lamp that had fallen off because of the old chain, and the politician named Shigehiko Swallow happened to be right below, and then it became like this! I see no reason to leave us in this nasty venue where someone is dying! And I'm a musician, and I don't have anything to do with these big names! I'm not afraid of you investigating my relationship with him! So can I apply to leave now? Your Excellency, Officer! ”

In the face of Takagi's gentle explanation, Naoya Tarumi, who was obviously not ready to buy it, stroked his long artist's hair, and his face was full of domineering hardness.

"Alas! Youngster! Don't rush like that! Didn't the police officer just say that! Someone called to report that there would be someone here who would be unfavorable to Shigehiko Swallow, and it was normal for the police to suspect that it was murder! Let's just cooperate! It's just that I think it's more important to find out who the informant is before investigating us. Maybe he's the murderer, but even if he's not the murderer, he must have something we don't know about this incident, right? ”

Just when Takagi wanted to continue to explain to Naoya Tarumi, Kenzo Kashiyama, who was suddenly standing on the side, touched his beard and stopped in front of Naoya Tarumi with a smile on his face.

Hearing him say this, Naoya Tarumi didn't have a hard time with Takagi, but he always said a word to the criminal police who asked him.

"I don't know!"

Facing Naoya Tarumi, who was obviously uncooperative, Takagi sighed helplessly, and asked his subordinates to skip Naoya Tarumi and start asking about the others.

The matter seems to be resolved, but Kenzo Kashiyama, who has just come out to persuade peace, began to bring up the rhythm after Naoya Tarumi was silent.

"Officer Takagi, huh? Did you hear the old man's proposal just now? Don't you think this offer is valuable? ”

Facing Kenzo Kashiyama, who had just helped him once, Takagi, who knew that the other party was an automobile giant, scratched his head and explained.

"We also want to find this reporter and learn more about it! The problem is, he used a voice changer to change it when he called us, so he couldn't identify him? ”

"Really? I see! That's a problem! ”

"What's the trouble with that? I think someone must be playing a prank! After all, the Swallow Councillor is in trouble, and there are many people who have been chased and intercepted by reporters because of him recently, so I think it's normal for this group of people to dislike him, right? But it's just disgust! As for the murder just mentioned by the Kudo Police Department, is it a bit exaggerated? ”

Just when Kenzo Kashiyama expressed regret, Maikura Naomchi on the side suddenly interjected and began his own analysis.

"Hmmm! Reasonable! That's how it should be! It's just a prank phone call that happened to meet this accident! Therefore, you can't do bad things, otherwise there will be retribution! ”

Yasuo Miva, who had just been scolded by Yuichi with murder, was obviously still angry, and immediately followed up and agreed after hearing the speech of Naomichi Maikura on the side.

"Cut! Is there retribution for doing bad things? People like you who can still eat a lot of food in front of a corpse will be punished, right? Do you understand the minimum respect for the deceased? Upstart! ”

Just when Yasuo Misuke was venting and swallowing a plate of food while chattering with Takagi about his venting words, Naoya Tarumi, who had just been scolded by Takagi, actually opened his mouth to pick up three bottles of Yasuo.

"Bastard! What did you say? Shouldn't I eat when I'm hungry? How can you be disrespectful to corpses? If eating is disrespectful to the corpse, then why put all this food at the memorial service of director Sakumaki? You sissy! Coward! Explain to me what you just said! Otherwise, I'm not done with you! Actually call me an upstart! Yes! What is it? Kill me! ”

In the face of Naoya Tarumi's sudden turn of the gun's shot, Yasuo Sanke, who was obviously poked in the sore spot, suddenly roared like thunder, but just as he roared, suddenly a hard object in the rice suddenly slipped next to his teeth, and he was speechless.

"Hahaha! What's wrong? Got a cockroach? I'll just say it! People who still eat at such times! It's no wonder if you don't suffer retribution! ”

"Phew! Waiter! Call your chefs! What is this doing? It's a five-star hotel! ”

The three-bottle Yasuo who was teased by Naoya Tarumi was obviously a little unable to get off the stage, and after a roar at the waiter who didn't know where to hide, he turned to stare at Naoya Tarumi hatefully.

"What? Want to make trouble? I'm telling you! I'm not afraid of you! ”

Facing the stares of Yasuo in three bottles, Naoya Tarumi, who was obviously not good at stubble, shot back unceremoniously, and just when the smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger, a beautiful figure was in the middle of the two.

"That's it! No need to argue! What's so noisy about this! In short, the Swallowing Councillor was killed by a crystal lamp falling from above! There is no doubt about that! If this is really a murder, then it is possible that someone has operated on his hands and feet beforehand to make the crystal lamp fall, and then took advantage of the time when the lights were turned off and the slides were played, and pulled the swallowing councillor under the crystal lamp, and then let the lamp fall, but there are no similar traces of hands and feet on the falling crystal lamp and the ceiling, so I don't think it is murder! I don't know if I understand my reasoning, Mr. Officer? If so, could we get out of here sooner? After all, we all have important things to do, and we can't always accompany you policemen here to play crime-solving games! ”

"Hahaha! Miss Nanjo is right! We're all about to do something! And I can recognize Miss Nanjo's reasoning! This makes more sense than you cops say! So Mr. Policeman, how about talking to your Kudo Police Department and letting us go? ”

When Minoru Nanjo, who suddenly appeared between Yasuo Mivasu and Naoya Tarumi, pushed his glasses and told his reasoning, Naoya Tarumi, who had been eating gunpowder, rarely agreed.

It's a pity that his approval is useless, and just when Minoru Nanjo, a great writer, was standing a little proudly in place, ready to accept the bowing of the police, a somewhat ridiculous voice suddenly came from behind Takagi, who was a little overwhelmed.

“sorry！ I don't think it's a good idea to let you go! Because just now our colleague stepped on the ladder to see it! There is really nothing wrong with the ceiling, but the chain that connects the ceiling to the crystal chandelier is broken, so say! This case is not an accident, it is still a murder! What do you think? Can you cooperate with our Officer Takagi in your inquiries? ”

After squatting down and picking up the foreign object that Yasuo had spit on the ground by the three bottles and showing it to Nanjo and the others, the smile on Yu's face became brighter and brighter.

Because that foreign object is a chain chain that hangs a crystal lamp.
