"What?"

Wataru Takagi looked surprised and said in an incredulous tone.

"You said Miss Gong Shui is hearing impaired? It can't be. If she really has a hearing impairment, it is impossible for the people around her, including Miss Mizushima, not to notice this! After all, if you have a hearing impairment, it will be a problem to communicate in daily life. ”

"What if Miss Miyasui could read lips?"

Gao Yuan explained, "I can read lips, so there is no problem with face-to-face daily communication. This also explains why Ms. Miyasui sometimes forgets to complete the assigned work and has to hand over the work to her face-to-face. ”

Hearing this, Wataru Takagi was stunned.

"Mr. Wise, you mean to say that because of face-to-face communication, Ms. Miyasui can know the content by reading her lips, but if she is just assigned a job at work to tell her, she actually doesn't hear it at all, so sometimes she forgets to finish the work!"

"That's right."

Gao Yuan nodded, "This can also explain why Miss Gong Shui never answers the phone, but communicates by text message." Because she couldn't hear anything when she called. By the same token, because she can't hear anything, she doesn't need to install a speaker on her computer at all. If you think about it this way, all the current irrationalities can be explained. ”

"But ......"

Wataru Takagi still didn't understand, "Even if that's the case, what does this have to do with the location where Miss Miyasui was attacked?" ”

"Absolutely."

Gao Yuan said, "In this way, the question that Miss Gong Shui answered at the end is incorrect." ”

Recalling, Gao Yuan told the details of last night.

"At that time, after I woke up Miss Gongshui, she looked at me, and I asked several questions at that time."

Gao Yuan said, "I first asked her three questions: Who was the person who attacked her? What other friends and relatives? Where to stay? ”

"So what?"

Wataru Takagi still didn't understand.

After asking these three questions, Miss Gong Shui did not answer directly, but closed her eyes. Seeing that her situation at that time was really not optimistic, I asked one last question: where was she attacked? ”

Gao Yuan said, "Then, she gave an answer. ”

"Mitsui Apartments."

Wataru Takagi answered, then realized what the problem was, "Excuse me! ”

"That's right, if Miss Gong Shui is hard of hearing, it means that she didn't hear the last question I asked at all, and she can only know what I asked when she opened her eyes and saw the shape of my mouth when she opened her eyes to see the shape of my mouth."

"And when she looked at me, I only asked the first three questions, and then she closed her eyes. So obviously, her answer can only answer the three questions I asked earlier, and in combination with the content, the answer should be the last question - 'where do you live'! ”

"In other words, our judgment that the deceased was attacked at Mitsui's apartment by the deceased's last words before his death is not valid!"

Wataru Takagi finally understood what Takato meant, and said in surprise.

"Yes, so if you find Miss Gong Shui's medical records and confirm that she really has a hearing impairment, then this case will need to find the location of Miss Gong Shui's attack again!"

Gao Yuan said.

"I know, I'll do it right away!"

With that, Wataru Takagi called and asked the police to investigate the matter.

"As long as this is confirmed, then our judgment of Miss Miyasu's attack will completely change."

Gao Yuan said, "At first, we thought that Miss Gongshui was attacked just out of the apartment, and then ran to the park to escape for her life. But now it seems that Miss Miyasui may have left the apartment for some distance, but she was attacked, so she ran towards the apartment in order to escape, but before she could reach the apartment, she collapsed in the small park. ”

"But, in that case, where is the place where Miss Gong Shui was attacked?"

Wataru Takagi asked.

"I don't know, but judging from the fact that Miss Gong Shui subconsciously ran to the apartment, it should not be too far from the scene, since it is not easy to judge, then check all the surveillance on the road!"

Gao Yuan suggested.

"Ah......h

Takagi Wataru said helplessly, "Is this the only way?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head.

"If you can't find any clues, then think of another way, but at least I don't have a better way for now."

"Okay."

Takagi said helplessly, "After the police officer who went to investigate Miss Miyamizu's medical records confirmed the information, let's go check the surveillance." ”

Gao Yuan couldn't deny it, and followed Takagi Shi all the way back to the vicinity of the small park, waiting for the police to reply to the message, and the two took advantage of this time to explore the monitored locations of several sections of the road within a kilometer nearby.

Soon, Takagi Wataru received a message from the police officer - confirmed, Miyasui Lingmei, she does have an acquired hearing impairment!

So, Takagi used his police ID card and began to check the cameras in the vicinity one by one, and the monitoring content during the time period of the crime.

The work was complicated and simple, because considering that Miyasui Reimi finally ran back into the small park, the real location of the attack should not be far from the place where Miss Miyasui was found, so Takato limited the range to a radius of one kilometer.

At that time, it was already night, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, and through the monitoring at the door of the apartment and the time when Gao Yuan found Miss Gong Shui, the time period of the crime could already be narrowed to a small range.

In this way, it is only the boring and boring work of viewing and monitoring.

It's just that the final result was not smooth, under the constraints of the above conditions, Gao Yuan and Takagi Shibu watched all the surveillance screens, and none of them appeared Miyasui Lingmei.

"What to do? Mr. Wise, it doesn't seem to be going well. ”

Faced with such a situation, Wataru Takagi said.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Yuan said, "Then expand the time period to view!" ”

"Hey!"

Wataru Takagi exclaimed in a panic.

"Since none of these surveillance images have captured Miss Gong Shui, it means that the location where Miss Gong Shui was attacked should be between these monitoring locations and the small park. So let's find out who may have stayed in this area during the time period of the crime! ”

Takato proposed.

"But! Can this really find the murderer? ”

Takagi asked, confused.

"I think why not start with Miss Miyamizu's relationships? After all, the murderer is imitating the previous serial homicide case, generally speaking, the murderer's purpose in doing this should be to mislead the direction of the police investigation, and it is likely that the murderer is the person next to the deceased. ”

Of course I know what you're talking about.

Watching Gao Mu Shi say this, Gao Yuan said silently in his heart, but there are some things that Gao Yuan really can't say.

Because, Gao Yuan has another purpose, he wants to simply see more surveillance content - for example, did he shoot the woman who was named Masami Hirota that night!

The timing of her appearance was too coincidental, and it wasn't far from herself. Gao Yuan was a little suspicious, she was actually stalking herself that day!

It's just that at present, the surveillance footage during the restricted time period has not even captured the picture of himself and Kyoko together, that is to say, the time when Takato and Kyoko entered the section near the small park should be before Miss Gong Shui left the apartment.

So,At Gao Yuan's insistence,Takagi Shibu once again took Gao Yuan to rewatch these monitoring screens,The difference is that the start time of the monitoring content screen is moved forward by one hour。

Then, a surprising scene appeared-

Last night, in the surveillance screen of the road that Gao Yuan and Kyoko walked together, there was no appearance of Gao Yuan and Kyoko!
