News soon came from Nagasaki that the suspect Kitamura had been arrested at his home and that the stolen money had been found, reportedly in front of his 80-year-old mother, who was not sure how much of a blow he had in his heart at the time.

We quickly docked with the Nagasaki police, and the police officer who docked was also my old classmate, when we interrogated Kitamura, Kitamura confessed to the fact that he entered Ito's house, but he bit himself to death and did not enter Chiyoko's house, nor did he kill anyone, he said that because he usually found that Ito drove a luxury car, so he guessed that his family must be very rich, so he had the idea of burglary, and after he learned the news of the power outage, he guessed that a rich person like Ito would not stay at home, He used the air conditioner to enter his home and stole more than 500,000 yuan in cash, but claimed that he had not killed anyone at all, and he returned to his hometown the next day, and he didn't even know that the murder had occurred until he was arrested.

However, this caused very big trouble to our police, because the murder scene was cleaned clean, and the murderer did not leave any traces, so it was impossible to prove that Kitamura was the murderer.

Watanabe Nakamura and I went to the scene of the crime again, hoping to find key evidence again, but no matter how we searched, we searched through Kitamura's house and found nothing.

"I originally expected that the case would be closed after arresting Kitamura, but who knows that there is still no progress." Watanabe sighed.

"Theft and murder, which is more important, I believe that Kitamura already has a clear understanding in his heart, he has become a settler in his burglary, so he would rather admit to theft than admit that he killed someone." Nakamura said.

"Is it possible that he really didn't kill someone?" Watanabe said.

"Impossible, the only way to enter the scene is this one, no one can enter the scene anymore except him."

"Maybe there's another way to get in." I say.

"What?" Nakamura turned his head to look at me suspiciously.

I shook my head, "No, I just had a hunch. ”

Just when we were all at a loss, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind us, and we turned around to find that it was Kudo who had rushed in.

"Kudo-senpai, what's wrong with you?" Watanabe asked suspiciously.

But Kudo didn't pay attention to it, but ran straight out of the balcony, and we followed him in confusion, and found that he was looking at something with his head straight.

"What's wrong?" I walked up behind Kudo and asked suspiciously.

Kudo retracted his head, his whole body was still, as if an active volcano was frozen, he turned around, looked at us, and said calmly, "Kitamura is not a murderer, and the murderer did not enter the scene from the balcony." ”

"What?" Like a thunderbolt from the blue, each of us felt a shock in our hearts.

"Why do you say that?" Watanabe's eyes widened.

"Look at it." Kudo pointed out the balcony, and we stepped forward, our eyes focused on Kudo's finger, and we instantly understood what he meant.

"It hasn't rained in the last few days, and the Watanabe's air conditioner is full of dust, and Kitamura's air conditioner has left shoe prints because he stepped on it, so Kitamura didn't enter the Suzuki girl's house at all, and someone else killed Suzuki Chiyoko, and it was in a different way."

We watched Kudo's increasingly gloomy eyes and fell silent.

In the evening, the sun was setting, the bright world was dyed red by the sky, I returned to the apartment, came to the elevator and waited for the elevator, someone called my name behind me, I turned back, it was the daughter of the downstairs resident, I smiled back, but suddenly I remembered Chiyoko, that day she called my name so briskly, and walked towards me gracefully, like a dazzling sunshine, injected into my heart, but since then I have never seen the sun, because the sun has left me, and I can't bring the murderer to justice, I knew I would never deserve the light again.

When I came to the 26th floor, I walked forward, took out the key in my pocket, and suddenly found a person standing in front of the door of Chiyoko's house, it was a woman, she was standing in front of the door and hesitated, and I walked over.

"Who are you?" I asked.

She heard the sound and looked over, and I was surprised to see that her face was so familiar through the dim light, and for a moment I thought that Chiyoko was standing in front of me again.

"Hello, I'm Chiyoko Suzuki's younger sister, and my name is Tomoe Suzuki." She bowed to me, and it turned out to be sisters.

"Who are you?" She asked, looking up.

"I'm Jiga Kawaki, who lives next door, and I'm also the police officer in charge of my sister's case." I say.

"Oh." She nodded, her face didn't fluctuate much, maybe because of excessive sadness, so her expression didn't change much now, "I'm here to pack my sister's relics today, but why did the lock of this door change?" ”

"Because our police are still in the detection stage, we have to ensure that the scene is not damaged." I replied.

"Oh, I see." Suzuki Yue nodded, her expression finally revealed a trace of sadness, my heart suddenly touched, and I couldn't help but speak again, her voice was so gentle that she surprised her, "When the case is solved, I will take you in to clean up." ”

"Thank you." She bowed, "My sister must have been taken care of by you when she was alive, and I am here to thank you on behalf of my sister." ”

"No, I didn't really do anything." My heart was like a knife, "I haven't been able to catch the murderer until now", maybe I will never be able to catch the murderer.
