Chapter 17: There is no murderer at all
Thirty minutes or so passed, and the last suspect arrived belatedly.
Dressed in a low-cut dark red dress, a slightly exaggerated light gray leopard-print plush coat, and with beautiful long brown curly hair, Yuko Ikezawa spread her hands and chuckled when she heard the police's suspicion of her: "Don't be kidding, if it was a murder that happened in Yoko's room, you should be suspicious of Yoko, right?" ”
"Yuko-sama..."
"It's my first time here, and it has nothing to do with me."
Twilight Thirteen was dissatisfied with Yuko Ikezawa's attitude, and he took out the earrings in the evidence bag and frowned, "If that's the case, why is this thing here?" ”
Yuko Ikezawa turned around and naturally stared at the gold earrings inlaid with rubies, and she said with joy on her face: "Ah, I thought I had fallen somewhere, I had been looking for it at home for a long time, and it turned out to be this!" ”
Twilight Thirteen, who had already asked the caretaker and security personnel downstairs, said solemnly, "It's not just these earrings, Miss Yuko, we've already talked to the caretaker, and he said that he saw someone who looks like you going in and out of the apartment today." ”
"It's just people who look alike, so it's too stupid to judge, right? I'm going to borrow the toilet and I'm going to touch up my makeup. ”
"Wait, I'm not done yet!"
Instead, Yuko Ikezawa yelled back in a louder voice: "It's so annoying! Mr. Policeman, you should have come up with factual evidence to prove that I have been here! Just one earring to identify me as a murderer? Please, I'm busy! ”
As if she remembered something, she smiled and walked towards Yoko Okino, who was frowning at the figure-eight eyebrows, and said in a strange manner: "I, of course, am not as busy as Miss Yoko, who is the popular No. 1 girl." But if you let the media know about this matter, your image will drop sharply, right? Maybe it's more idle than me, hahahahaha! ”
Ritsu Sasashima, who had not spoken, narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuko Ikezawa, who was walking skillfully to the bathroom, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: What a stupid woman, she kept saying that she hadn't been to the apartment and found where the toilet was.
After waiting for Yuko Ikezawa to come out of the bathroom, she casually picked up the paper towel on the long cabinet in the living room, and sat on the single sofa to pick up a statue of Liberty, and after seeing her use this knick-knack to light a cigarette, Ritsu Sasashima knew that it was a lighter.
"How many times do I have to tell you to believe it? It's my first time here, and it has nothing to do with the case. ”
Ritsu Sasashima paced forward and picked up the lighter in the shape of the Statue of Liberty, he took out the remaining half of the CASTER 3 cigarette from his trouser pocket, pressed his head and lit the cigarette in his mouth, he slowly spit out a puff of smoke ring, looked at Yuko Ikezawa, and smiled: "Miss Ikezawa is so smart, she knows exactly where the lighter is even though she hasn't been here." ”
“!!!”
Yuko Ikezawa's pupils shrank suddenly, realizing that her actions had revealed the matter, and she lowered her head uneasily and clasped her hands tightly together. Ritsu Sasashima quickly reached out to catch the cigarette that was about to fall to the floor, snuffed it out, and threw it into the evidence bag containing the two cigarette butts.
Twilight Thirteen rolled her eyes speechlessly when she saw this, how could a police officer use a physical evidence bag to hold the cigarette butts left behind when he smoked, and this kid used it as a garbage bag?
Yuko Ikezawa, who came back to her senses, tried to quibble: "Yes, it's my friend who also has a lighter of the same shape, so I'm just..."
Twilight Thirteen noticed her abnormality and immediately approached, "Where's my friend?" ”
"I advise you to make it clear to yourself, according to Article 130 of Chapter 12 of the Japanese Criminal Law, trespassing into another person's house without a legitimate reason is punishable by up to three years in prison and a fine of not more than 100,000 yen."
Hearing that the sentence was going to be sentent, Yuko Ikezawa panicked and admitted: "I, I did come here a few times, because I wanted to find evidence of the scandal about Yoko, so I entered here with a spare key stolen from the lounge." ”
"So, you're the culprit..."
"No, it's not! I'm not a prisoner, I really didn't kill anyone! Yuko Ikezawa anxiously looked at Takashi Akizawa, who didn't doubt him out loud, as if grasping the last straw, and shouted, "Izawa Police Department, I really didn't kill anyone!" ”
Ritsu Sasashima nodded at her as if reassuring after hearing this, and asked, "You've been here today, haven't you?" ”
"Yes, I entered the apartment during the day today as usual while Yoko was not at home, but I didn't expect a man to follow in, and he suddenly pounced on me without saying anything..."
Yuko Ikezawa recalled the scene at that time, clenched her hands and said: "I was so scared at that time, I struggled desperately to escape from that place, and it was impossible for me to have the courage to run back and kill people again!" And I don't know this man at all, please believe me Ghost Police Department! ”
"You're not a murderer, I've known that for a long time."
Hearing Onizawa Chong say this, Twilight Thirteen blinked his little eyes and said in confusion, "What are you talking about from the Onizawa Police Department?" If Miss Ikezawa is not a prisoner, who else can the murderer be? ”
"There are no murderers at all."
"Huh?!"
Everyone present showed puzzled expressions, what does it mean that there is no murderer?
Ritsu Sasashima hooked his finger at the police officer in charge of investigating the identity of the victim, took the file and said, "The victim's name is Akiyoshi Fujie, 21 years old this year, and he started working at Kakuko Shoji after graduating from Konan High School. Konan High School may be unfamiliar to you from the Twilight Police Department, but in fact, this is the high school where Miss Yoko graduated. ”
“?!”
Yoko Okino showed a surprised look, obviously she didn't expect that this young police officer actually knew that he graduated from Konan High School, could it be that he was his senior? Or... No, you can't be a fan, right?
She realized that she couldn't continue to hide it, and Yoko Okino ignored the hints in the eyes of the agent next to her, and plucked up her courage and said: "Onizawa Police Department, as you guessed, my acquaintance with the victim, and not just acquaintance, Mingyi is my boyfriend in high school." ”
"Nani?" Twilight Thirteen was surprised, but wait, this kid Onizawa had already said that there was no murderer, so why did he bring it up?
"Onizawa Police Department, what do you mean when you say there is no murderer? You can't be a victim who stabs himself in the back, right? ”
Ritsu Sasashima snapped his fingers with a smile and said, "Bingo, you guessed it right, the truth is indeed so. ”
"Huh?" Twilight Thirteen suddenly felt that Onizawa Chong's brain was broken, how could someone stab himself in the back and stab him so deeply.
Ritsu Sasashima walked to the upright chair, restrained the smile on his face that was used for disguise, and said seriously: "Then next, let me take you to review the entire process of the case." ”
