Chapter 32: The Real First Witness
The door was opened, and standing inside was a lady wearing a large sleeveless T-shirt in dark red, with healthy wheat skin, who looked quite burly due to her tall height, and most importantly...
The sleeveless T-shirt successfully showed off her developed deltoid and triceps, Kudo Xin's consciousness swallowed saliva, the circumference of this upper arm is simply twice that of herself, this fist may be more terrifying than Xiaolan.
The height is in line with her own speculation, and even her muscular figure is in line with one of the characteristics of the murderer: great strength.
"Mr. Police, are you looking for me for something?" Eguchi Yuki looked at Takashi Onizawa and asked.
When Ritsu Sasashima heard her words, she smiled and said, "Miss Eguchi, there is something I want to ask you, can I talk about it?" ”
Maybe it was the smile on Onizawa Chong's face, or it could be that he was followed by a young junior high school student, but Eguchi Yuki relaxed, she nodded and said very cooperatively: "Yes, Mr. Police, please." ”
Eguchi Yuki's house is quite clean, there are two or three sets of dumbbells of different specifications next to the TV cabinet in the living room, and there are also a lot of fitness equipment near the balcony, which can be seen to be a woman who loves fitness.
Even there were a few bottles of protein powder on the coffee table, and Sashima Ritsu couldn't help but sneer in his heart: It's really a person who is very obsessed with muscles, and he still plans to gain muscle after practicing like that.
Yuki Eguchi walked to the open kitchen, she picked up the drink that looked like a tomato milkshake in the juicer, and asked, "Mr. Police, would you like a drink?" ”
"Excuse me, thank you."
When two drinks suspected of being tomato milkshakes were brought to him, Ritsu Sasashima smelled a strange smell before he could pick them up, how did this milkshake stink and smelled of chicken?
Shinichi Kudo looked at the thick milkshake in the cup and asked curiously, "Is this a tomato milkshake?" ”
"No, it's a muscle-building and fat-reducing juice made with tomato and chicken breast, and it tastes pretty good."
The drink made from chicken breast, the two looked at each other, and they really didn't dare to try the taste of this thing.
Ritsu Sasashima deliberately diverted the topic and asked, "Miss Eguchi, why are you lying?" ”
Yuki Eguchi, who was drinking chicken breast gravy, panicked when she heard Onizawa's words, and she coughed violently, apparently choking on the drink.
"Ahem, ahem... Ahem!! ”
Finally came to his senses, and Eguchi Yuki, whose face was flushed, said uncertainly: "I... Mr. Police, what are you talking about? I'm not lying, this drink does taste good. ”
Hearing this, Ritsu Sasashima lowered his head and chuckled.
When he lifted it again, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant as if it had never existed, and his unwarm voice sounded, leaving Eguchi Yuki speechless.
"Miss Eguchi, how did you know I was from the police department? And..."Ritsu Sasashima smiled and patted Kudo on the shoulder and asked, "You seem to know he's not a police officer." ”
"I..."
"I'll make up a valid reason for you, because after being questioned by the police for an alibi, you became gossipy about the case that happened in the apartment, so you stood in the hallway and eavesdropped on our conversation."
"Yes, I just had a gossip heart, so I was in the hallway..."
Eguchi Yuki's face couldn't help but stiffen, she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head, realizing that she had said the wrong thing.
Ritsu Sasashima, who had perfect speech skills, was very satisfied with Eguchi's current expression, and he looked at the size of the sleeveless T-shirt on her body, and said an inference that surprised both Eguchi and Kudo.
"The yellow T-shirt on the deceased Yoshiko Yoshitaka is yours, right?"
“……”
There was a brief silence in the living room, and only the nervous Yuki Eguchi could be heard breathing rapidly.
Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but do what Sherlock Holmes liked to do when thinking about problems, and the fingertips of his hands were pressed together on the bridge of his nose, so he was embarrassed to curl his feet in the chair because he was in someone else's house.
Just by saying "the police department", did it be possible to tell that Yuki Eguchi was eavesdropping on their conversation? I really dare to guess.
And I can actually tell the size of the clothes from the naked eye, you must know that the person in front of me is wearing a plus-size dress because of her strong figure, and the clothes look relatively small.
If Ritsu Sasashima knew Kudo's psychological dynamics, he would definitely shake his head and say that he really relied on Eguchi Yuki's micro-expressions, from the vigilance she had when she first opened the door to the chaos she had later, which shows that she does have a ghost in her heart.
However, such a psychological quality can also reflect that she is not a murderer.
"I know you're hiding something, so don't try to deceive the police with words, obstruct the police in the execution of their official duties, or make false testimony that is punishable. Article 169 of the law stipulates that making a false statement shall be punishable by imprisonment of not less than three months but not more than ten years. ”
Ritsu Sasashima looked directly at the pale Yuki Eguchi, and he smiled meaningfully, "So, can Ms. Eguchi not make up lies in vain?" Just say what you know. ”
Yuki Eguchi knew that if she didn't explain clearly, she would become a major suspect in the eyes of the police, so she looked at Akaru Izawa cautiously and asked softly, "Mr. Police, are you willing to believe me?" ”
"If you're telling the truth, I'll believe you."
I don't know why, after seeing those calm scarlet eyes, Eguchi Yuki calmed down, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to recall the memories she didn't want to think about anymore.
"Actually, I was the first witness to the body, but after I saw that the clothes on my body were my newly purchased T-shirt... I was afraid that the police would think that I was the murderer, so I pretended not to know and did not call the police. ”
When Kudo Shinichi heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you remember what time it was?" ”
Yuki Eguchi glanced at Onizawa and didn't know whether she should answer the high school student's question, but after receiving a tacit look, she replied, "I came home at half past one in the morning this morning, and the car happened to be parked in my parking space, so I took a second look." ”
"And what about your car?"
"I don't have a driver's license, so I didn't buy a car, and the parking spaces are often vacant." Eguchi Yuki lowered his head and continued: "At that time, the trunk of the sedan was open, and I wanted to close it out of kindness, but as soon as I got close, I smelled rust, and when I looked closely, I found that there was a woman curled up inside!" ”
"I was really frightened, I sniffed and found that she was out of breath, and even worse was that she was wearing my clothes!"
When Kudo Shinichi heard this, he asked, "Don't you have any ideas?" Take off the victim's clothes and destroy their suspicions. ”
"I've thought about it, but I'm scared... I didn't even dare to kill a fish on weekdays, so I didn't dare to touch a corpse, so I closed the trunk and hurried home. ”
Ritsu Sasashima, who had been observing her expression, asked, "Do you know the victim Yoshiko Yoshitaka?" ”
Eguchi Yuki shook her head, she said with some emotion: "I don't know, but I think... The murderer's next target could be me! Please also ask the police to protect me, a weak woman! ”
“?”
Ritsu Sasashima and Shinichi Kudo both showed puzzled expressions, the former was wondering why the murderer's next target would be her, and the latter was wondering-
Are you sure your well-developed triceps are weak women?!
