23 Shrines

Takato and Nanako Hirata sat in Officer Takagi's car, and rushed to the apartment where Masaharo Komura lived, and on the way, Wataru Takagi couldn't help but ask Takato about Masaki's alibi, and Takato quickly gave an answer.

"This method is actually very simple."

Takato said, "As long as you take the time of Furuyama Ayumi's watch and the clock of the Komura Masasho's house, you can move forward about an hour." ”

"Huh? But the watch is Furuyama's belongings......"

Takagi asked puzzled, but Takatoto quickly explained.

"But didn't they go to the public bathroom to take a shower together? No one would still have a watch with them when they took a bath, not to mention that Furuyama Ayuki fell asleep for a while after taking a bath. ”

"However, even if you move forward the time of Furuyama Ayumi's watch and his own clock by about an hour, you can only confuse the time of Furuyama Ayumi, but there is also the time of the convenience store and the ramen shop where you buy shower gel as a reference, and it is impossible for Masahiro Komura to let the store remember the wrong time, not to mention that the convenience store still has surveillance evidence, which has a clear time."

Wataru Takagi continued to ask.

"Then let's look at what happened that night from the beginning, and substitute the premise I just made, as if the time was moved forward by an hour, do you think things are different?"

Takato proposed, and Takaki began to think about it.

"Let me think about it, if you look at it from this premise, Furuyama Ayumi said that he and Masahiro Komura arrived at Komura's house when it was close to nine o'clock, then the actual situation is that they actually arrived at Komura's house at less than ten o'clock!"

Speaking of this, Wataru Takagi suddenly realized.

"That's right. When they arrived at Komura's house that night, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and it was almost ten o'clock, and before that, they were taking a bath and resting in the public bath, and Furuyama Ayumi was still asleep during that time, so Komura Masamu had enough time at that time to sneak out of the bathroom at nine o'clock and go to the convenience store to buy shower gel first, so as to leave surveillance evidence! ”

Takato explained.

But even so, how can you explain the time of the ramen shop? The clerk did deliver the ramen to the village at 9 o'clock, and if the previous premise is true, then the actual time to deliver the ramen should be more than 10 o'clock in the evening, right? ”

Wataru Takagi asked a new question, and Takato smiled.

This is easier to explain. Because the ramen shop did deliver takeout to Komura's family at 9 o'clock, but you should remember that when I asked the staff of the ramen shop just now, the clerk said that it was the wife of Masamu Komura who opened the door that night to deliver the delivery! In other words, the clerk didn't see if Masahiro Komura and Ayumi Furuyama were at home at that time. ”

"So that's what happened! I get it! ”

Wataru Takagi finally understood, "In other words, Mr. Komura's wife ordered the ramen to be delivered in advance!" ”

Then, Wataru Takagi paused again, feeling a little suspicious: "But, it's not right! According to Furuyama's testimony, he heard someone knocking on the door, and then the village lady went to open the door, and then brought in the delivered ramen! What's more, if you leave this kind of food for an hour, it will already be lumped! ”

"What's so hard about that?"

Gao Yuan continued with some helplessness about Takagi Watabu's reaction, "As long as you order ramen delivery again before ten o'clock!" ”

"But if you call it again, the staff at the ramen shop will remember it."

Wataru Takagi felt that he was about to be convinced, but he still spoke out about his doubts.

"Stupid!"

Gao Yuan helplessly raised his forehead and said, "You must order delivery from the same store!" ”

"Oh! And so it goes! ”

Wataru Takagi suddenly realized, "In this case, all the points can be explained." If you put it this way, the time when Masahiro Komura went out from home to buy shower gel at nine o'clock was actually more than ten o'clock in the actual time! And he didn't go to buy shower gel at that time, but to kill someone! However, when did Furuyama Ayumi's watch time be turned back? ”

Wataru Takagi said the point, but the last sentence still made Takato feel speechless.

"Have you forgotten what they were doing that night? They were drinking and chatting late into the night! At night, after drinking so much wine, I guess Furuyama Ayumi was not awake at that time, and it was not easy to turn back the time of his watch in this situation. ”

In other words, to achieve this method, Mrs. Komura must be an accomplice. There must also be a ramen shop that delivered ramen to the village at 10 o'clock in the evening! ”

Wataru Takagi concluded, then looked at Takato, "Thank you so much, Wise Detective, I'll take care of this." ”

Soon, Wataru Takagi and the two of them came to the underground parking garage of the apartment where Masaki Komura lived.

At this time, there are already many police officers who have set up a cordon here, and the female policeman led by it is the police department of the search section, Miwako Sato.

Officer Takagi parked the car in a nearby parking space, asked the two to wait in the car, and then got out of the car and walked towards Officer Sato.

However, Takato still got out of the car, and only Nanako Hirata stayed in the car honestly.

"Officer Sato, what's going on?"

Officer Takagi stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh, Takagi, you're here. Who is this? ”

Looking at Takato behind Officer Takagi, Officer Sato asked.

"Huh? Wise detective, how do you ......"

"Wise Detective?"

Officer Takagi didn't say anything in surprise, but after hearing the title, Officer Sato thought about who Takato was, "Oh, you're the detective who lives next door to Kudo's new family." Why, Takagi, you have to ask the detective for help when you go to investigate alone today? ”

"No, it's actually ......"

Officer Takagi began to explain to Officer Sato, acting very weakly, while Takato looked at the area where the officers were investigating.

It was a parking space in the corner, and a black, left-hand drive Audi sedan was parked on it. The right side of the car was parked against the wall, and the cockpit door was hidden at the moment.

Gao Yuan noticed that there were some dark black spots on the cab door and the ground nearby, like blood splattered on them, and the police officers were collecting these marks near the car.

At this time, Officer Takagi finally explained the cause and effect of the incident to Officer Sato, and after listening to it, Officer Sato did not continue to delve into anything, but said:

"However, even if Masahiro Komura's alibi is cracked now, the others have disappeared. And judging from the traces of this scene, maybe he was killed! ”

At the same time, Officer Twilight led the team to the village of Shibuya, located deep in the mountains, and the place of the crime was the shrine in the village, "Mozu Sho Shrine".

The shrine is built on the back of a cave in the mountain, and through the cave, you will come to the center of the shrine, which is an open space surrounded by mountains, and in the center of the clearing, is a tall old tree.

There were several sharpened branches on the ancient tree, and on one of them, there was a bloody corpse that had been impaled by the branches!

Seeing this somewhat shocking scene, Officer Twilight ordered the officers to get to work, and then looked at the first discoverers of the cases who were still here, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Isn't this Kudo!"
