"Besides, Officer Twilight asked me to come over and help."

Gao Yuan lied.

"But didn't you say that you accepted Ms. Hirata's commission?"

Wataru Takagi asked with some suspicion.

"That's because, after I accepted the commission, in order to investigate the content of the case, I deliberately approached Officer Twilight, and it was he who asked me to come to Gushan Bushi, saying that I could ask you for questioning. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about the alibi. ”

Half-truths and half-truths, Gao Yuan's words frightened Takagi Shibu, so the three of them came downstairs, sat in Takagi Shizu's car, and chatted about the case.

"What does the wise detective want to know?"

Wataru Takagi asked.

"The cause of death and the time of death."

Gao Yuan asked two key questions.

"The deceased, Heihachi Hase, died between nine and eleven o'clock the night before. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation caused by strangulation with a towel. ”

Wataru Takagi said skillfully, hearing that Takato thought for a moment here, and after focusing on memorizing the time point of "nine o'clock to eleven o'clock", he cut to the chase.

"What's going on with Masaaki Komura's alibi?"

"On the night of the crime, the store manager Masahiro Komura and the manager Ayumi Furuyama went to the public bathhouse together after work, and then when it was close to nine o'clock, the two went to Masahiro Komura's house together, and drank and chatted together until after eleven o'clock."

Wataru Takagi said.

"It's a good time jam. And won't these two people be suspected of colluding confessions? ”

Gao Yuan said.

"It's a little strange about that. However, after visiting and investigating, it was found that Furuyama Ayumi belonged to the kind of person who was parachuted from the group headquarters, and had no direct interest relationship with Masahiro Komura, nor did he have any contact with financial work, so his testimony was very credible. And Masahiro Komura's alibi is more than that. ”

Wataru Takagi said.

"Halfway through, did Masaki Komura ever go out? Or did Furuyama Ayumi ever fall asleep? ”

After listening to Takagi Wataru's explanation, Gao Yuan affirmed that the alibi must have been deliberately made, so he put forward two possibilities.

"Furuyama Ayumi hasn't fallen asleep, but Masaharo Komura did go out."

Wataru Takagi explained, and Takato let out a strange "hey", waiting for Wataru Takagi to continue explaining.

According to the wife of Masaki Komura, at about nine o'clock that night, she remembered that the shower gel at home was almost gone, so Masaki Komura went out to buy shower gel. He was probably out for about twenty minutes, as his wife and Furuyama Ayumi can attest. ”

"What about the stores that buy shower gel?"

Takato asked.

"This point, our police also went to verify, and the surveillance in the store can prove that at about 9:12 that night, Masahiro Komura did go there to buy shower gel.

"And we also calculated that the time it takes to get to and from the convenience store is about 20 minutes.

"From Masamura's house to the scene of the crime, it probably takes so much time to drive, so he didn't have time to kill people after buying shower gel at a convenience store."

Wataru Takagi explained.

"Is it possible that the deceased was killed somewhere else, and then the body was transferred to the deceased's home?"

Takato asked.

"Without this possibility, the deceased's home was the scene of the first crime, and there was no trace of falsifying the scene or transferring the body."

Wataru Takagi said.

For such an answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help but fall into thought, in terms of time, this alibi is indeed perfect, but it is precisely because it is too perfect that it seems suspicious.

Playing with time?

Gao Yuan thought about this question, and quickly thought of a little, so he asked, "How does Gushan Bushi determine the time?" How could he be sure that it was less than nine o'clock when he arrived at the house of Masahara Komura? ”

"Watches."

Takagi Wataru said with some puzzlement, "Furuyama Ayumi has a habit of carrying a watch, and when he arrived at Komura Masahiro's house, he saw his watch, it was less than nine o'clock, and he also confirmed that the time of his watch was the same as the time of the wall clock at Komura Masahiro's house." ”

Then Wataru Takagi suddenly realized Takato's intentions: "Wise detective, you won't be suspicious of Furuyama Ayumi's watch, right?" This is impossible, because in addition to the points mentioned earlier, there are people who can prove the time at that time. ”

"How?"

Takato asked.

That night, when the two of them came to Masahiro Komura's house, they both felt a little hungry, so Masamu Komura called a nearby ramen shop to deliver it, and Furuyama confirmed that the ramen was delivered at a little after nine o'clock that night. The staff of the ramen shop confirmed that at about 9 o'clock that day, he had indeed delivered ramen to Masamu's house in Komura. ”

Wataru Takagi explained, "And no one has a chance to touch a personal item like a watch. Therefore, Masahiro Komura's alibi proved perfect, and the murderer is likely to be Yoshito Hirata. ”

"Impossible! My husband can't be a murderer! It must be Masahiro Komura who colluded with Furuyama Ayumi to frame my husband! ”

Ms. Nanako Hirata, who had been silent since just now, couldn't help but shout emotionally when she heard Wataru Takagi's words.

"However, the current evidence is indeed ......"

Takagi Shibu wanted to explain, but looking at Nanako Hirata's expression at the moment, he felt that he couldn't continue to stimulate her, so he didn't continue, so he looked at Takato on the side, hoping that he could persuade Nanako Hirata's emotions.

However, what Takagi Wataru saw was Takato with a clear smile.

"Wise Detective? You...... What comes to mind? ”

Wataru Takagi asked tentatively.

"Pretty much figured it out."

Gao Yuan said, "Just find two more people to confirm." ”

"Which two?"

Wataru Takagi asked.

"The staff who delivered the food on the day at the ramen shop, and Ayumi Furuyama!"

Gao Yuan said.

So, Wataru Takagi immediately took the two back to Furuyama Ayumi's apartment, found Furuyama Ayumi, and asked Takato a question - did he fall asleep during the bath?

Then Takagi Wataru drove Takato and the others to the ramen shop, found the clerk that day, and only asked one question - who came to open the door when the ramen was delivered to the house of Masahara Komura that day?

Furuyama Ayumi replied that it was because the massage after soaking in the bath was too comfortable, so he took a nap; And the clerk's answer was, Masaharo Komura's wife!

Receiving such an answer, Gao Yuan showed a smug smile, he was sure that his reasoning was correct!

"Wise Detective, what do you think?"

Wataru Takagi asked, looking at Takato's expression.

"I can see through the method of alibi!"

Gao Yuan said with a smile.

This made Nanako Hirata on the side very happy, and Wataru Takagi also expressed curiosity and wanted to hear Takato's explanation.

At this time, Wataru Takagi's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Officer Twilight.

"Hey. Officer Twilight! Masahiro Komura's alibi cracked! ”

"Leave this alone!"

Wataru Takagi was just about to make a good show when he was interrupted, only to hear Officer Twilight on the other end of the phone.

"Masaaki Komura is missing! It's in the garage of his apartment, and you go there to support Officer Sato. I'm going to Fifteen Nights Village, where a bizarre murder happened just now! ”
