08:21 a.m.

At the door of Room 205 of the 3rd Street Apartment in 5-chome Rice Flower Town, Yuna Hayasaka rang the doorbell, and out of it came a middle-aged and elderly woman estimated to be about 60 years old.

There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, and it was clear that the police had already informed her of her son's death, and she must have been crying in the house dozens of minutes ago.

After Miho Nagai saw the two, she tidied up her messy bangs a little, and she asked in a dumb voice, "Are the two police officers?" Be... Have you found my son's killer? ”

Yuna Hayasaka put away the pretty face of the iceberg beauty, as if returning to the bright appearance when she first joined the company six years ago, and comforted softly: "We haven't found the murderer of your son yet, so I want to come to the house to check and see if we can find relevant clues, and the current situation is likely to be a vendetta." ”

"Well, those two officers, please come in."

Miho Nagai bent down to take out her slippers from the shoe cabinet, she pointed to a bedroom door on the left hand side of the living room and said, "That's Tatsuya's room, do you want tea or drinks?" There is only oolong tea and juice at home. ”

"Auntie doesn't have to bother, let's take a look and leave."

"Alright then, you feel free."

Ritsu Sasashima nodded politely to Miho Nagai and then pushed the door and walked into Tatsuya Nagai's bedroom, the south-facing bedroom was very well lit, the room was very clean, except for the sheets, which were a little messy, and it could be seen that Miho Nagai was sitting here crying before, and there were still a few tears left on the wooden floor.

He looked around the room for any important clues, and finally paced to his desk, pulling open the drawer to examine the contents.

The contents of the drawers are very messy, and it is clear that the cleanliness of the room is not maintained by Tatsuya Nagai himself, but by his mother who takes the trouble to help him clean it every day.

Children from single-parent families will generally gain the preference or even doting of their parents, because they will feel that they have not been able to give their other half of their father's or mother's love, and they will try to make up for it... However, they selectively ignore and spoil their children, which can have serious consequences.

"Tsk."

When Ritsu Sasashima heard Hayasaka make such a sound, he turned around in confusion and found that she had pulled several cardboard boxes from under Tatsuya Nagai's bed, and he leaned over to look at them and couldn't help but get hot at the root of his ears.

Who would have thought that all those cardboard boxes contained were "Youth Cultivation Manuals for Boys", and the cover alone was so hot that people were embarrassed to look at it, at least in terms of feelings, the first reaction of the innocent Sasashima Ritsu was shyness and embarrassment, and the most important thing was to witness these things alone with girls.

Yuna Hayasaka pushed the cardboard boxes back into place with a disgusted face, glanced at Takago Onizawa and muttered, "... It's really a pervert and a pervert. ”

"Hey, don't you look at me and say something like that, okay?" Ritsu Sasashima said helplessly.

"Tatsuya Nagai put the top two books on the top about the theme of crazy tailgating, and he should have regarded Miss Nishitani as the best fantasy object for a long time." Yuna Hayasaka frowned and said, she often has compassion for the dead, and now she has a little twist in her heart, feeling that this kind of pervert is dead.

"He's not just fantasizing, he's always doing it." Ritsu Sasashima flipped through the photo album in his hand, and all the content in it was taken secretly, and more importantly-

He discovers that there are several places where the candid photos are not the apartment where Minoru Nishitani lives now, that is... Nishitani probably moved because of Tatsuya Nagai's harassment.

There are people on the way to work, there are daily life, there are clothes drying on the balcony of the apartment... There are even photos of part-time jobs at a dessert shop. These photos were taken in a discreet way, with stealth camera equipment? If that's the case, then there must be something that you have overlooked, and it seems that you have to go back to the scene of the crime.

"Hayasaka, I'll go back to the scene of the crime, you stay here to continue the inspection, and you go and ask Miss Nishiya a few questions."

"Okay, what's the problem?"

"Give her this album and ask her if she knows anything about the candid photo, pay attention to her expressions, and ask her if she didn't live in Tokyo before."

"Okay, then I'll go to the scene of the crime to find you after I finish asking."

"Hmm."

Ritsu Sasashima walked out of the bedroom and saw Miho Nagai sitting in the living room, met by a pair of cloudy eyes full of anticipation, and he looked down to notice that her hands were covered with tiny scars, and there was a thin red and white string in the corner of the wall not far away.

It soon became clear that her profession was a crab tireger, a hard and low-paying job, and she could only rely on the number of crabs to increase her income, and she was absolutely hard work.

"Mr. Police, what's... Found? ”

She asked too carefully, and her tightly clasped hands could tell that she was suppressing her emotions.

"Not yet, aunt, I'm going to return to the scene of the crime once, so I'll go first."

"Okay, okay, you go slowly."

Walk quickly out of this apartment, out of sight of Miho Nagai.

Ritsu Sasashima, who had already made up his mind, hesitated at this time, and it seemed necessary... Just come here one more time.

It is very close to the scene of the crime, and it is easy to reach even on foot. Seeing Wataru Takagi standing in the cordon, Ritsu Sasashima stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back and rest, just have me here." ”

"How can this work? Mr. Police, you need someone around you to protect you! ”

Protection?

Ritsu Sasashima couldn't help but bow his head and laugh lightly, he made a quick move, and in just two seconds, the defenseless Wataru Takagi was forced to the wall, and even his hands were clamped, he smiled: "Takagi, do you think I need protection like this?" ”

"It hurts, it hurts! The police department turns out that you are so good? ”

Ritsu Sasashima let go of him and explained with a smile: "Well, I practiced martial arts a long time ago, you must know that I used to live in the United States, where it is legal to carry guns, and if I don't practice my skills, my identity can easily lead to death." ”

Takagi Shibu thought about it, it seemed to make sense, a high-IQ criminal consultant like the Onizawa Police Department must have caused headaches for many criminals.

"Police Department, should I bring these relics back to the Metropolitan Police Department or not?"

"Give it to me, and I'll send it for filing when the time comes."

After seeing Wataru Takagi leave, Ritsu Sasashima crouches down and examines the belongings of the victim Tatsuya Nagai, and finally locks on to a silver flip-top lighter.

This is a special camera, and in addition to being able to fire normally, you can see the camera and the shutter button by removing the metal surface, so I guess there is evidence of a crime in it.

Ritsu Sasashima stuffed a lighter in his pocket, and as long as the key evidence was hidden, the case would not be solved, and even if he knew who the murderer was, it would not be enough to sentence.

There is only one thing left to do, and that is how the green paint on the shoulders of the victim Tatsuya Nagai came from.

Ritsu Sasashima followed the route that Minoru Nishitani used to return to her apartment from the station every day, observing the green paint around her, and finally found a street lamp painted with green paint and a sign next to it that said "Please be careful when you have just painted your paint".

Crossing the bushes, I saw a sports satchel hidden next to the street lamp. Unzip it open, and there is not only a kitchen knife inside, but also a series of rope tape for kidnapping...

The street lamp is less than a hundred meters away from Miss Nishitani's house, and it seems that Tatsu Nagai is also preparing to ambush and commit murder on the way to work.

Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought.

If Miss Nishitani hadn't poisoned her, the person lying on the icy asphalt tonight... It would be herself.
