05 Gone

"What! Mr. Wise! You've unraveled the murderer's alibi! ”

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Takagi Shi immediately said in surprise, and immediately asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

In this regard, Gao Yuan took a light look and began to explain:

"Actually, this method is very simple, you police have all been deceived by the deceased."

"...... The ...... of the deceased"

"Liared?"

Hearing Takato's statement, Wataru Takagi and Takayama Ayase were both very surprised and said, not understanding what Takato meant at all, in this regard, Wataru Takagi further confirmed:

"What you just said, Mr. Wise, is that we have been deceived, the dead?"

Emphasizing the word "deceased" again, Wataru Takagi was visibly incredulous.

"That's right, it's the dead."

Gao Yuan said with conviction, "The police misunderstood the time of the deceased's death, so naturally you can't find the loophole in the suspect's alibi - because, from the beginning, you were deceived by the deceased!"

"Huh?"

It seemed that he understood what Takato meant, but Wataru Takagi and Takayama Ayase obviously couldn't accept this statement, so they asked further:

"What the hell is going on!"

"To put it simply, the deceased used certain means to make you misjudge the time of the deceased's death."

Gao Yuan said, "From the itinerary of the deceased on the day of his death as described by Officer Takagi just now, I found an interesting thing - the time when the deceased's ex-boyfriend came to quarrel with the deceased, the time to eat lunch at noon, and the time to eat cake in the afternoon were nine o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and three o'clock in the afternoon. All three hours were separated by exactly three hours. ”

Hearing this, Wataru Takagi took out the police manual, flipped through the contents of the record, confirmed this, and nodded:

"That's true, but what's wrong with that?"

"Big problem!"

Gao Yuan said, "I asked Officer Takagi just now how the police could be accurate to the time of the deceased's death until about seven o'clock in the evening, and you mentioned that the scope was narrowed down according to the degree of digestion of the deceased's gastrointestinal contents. In other words, the medical examiner judged the time of death by comparing what the deceased ate at different times that day, and finally the state in the stomach and intestines, right? ”

"That's right, the food residue in the stomach and intestines of the deceased can match the facts we investigated, so there can be no problem with such a result!"

Takagi said puzzled.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan smiled faintly, and finally said his thoughts:

"Of course, the following is only my speculation, and there is no evidence at the moment - I believe that the time of death of the deceased was not seven o'clock in the evening, but four o'clock in the afternoon!"

Gao Yuan said lightly, then looked at Wataru Takagi and added:

"You also asked just now, just looking at the changes in the corpse, the time of death of the deceased is from four o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock in the evening, so the death of the deceased at four o'clock does not violate this point."

"Huh? But why? How to explain the degree of digestion of the gastrointestinal contents of the deceased? ”

In this regard, Takagi asked.

In the face of Takagiwa's question, Gao Yuan also said smoothly:

"That's a good explanation – the deceased's two meals were also three hours earlier?"

As he spoke, Gao Yuan unfolded his explanation:

"At nine o'clock in the morning, when the ex-boyfriend came to quarrel with the deceased, the deceased ate the real bento. At twelve o'clock during the lunch break, the deceased ate a cake disguised as a bento. At 3 p.m., the deceased just ordered a cake set at the cake shop and took a photo and uploaded it to Twitter, but he didn't eat the cake. Finally, he returned home at four o'clock in the afternoon and was killed by the murderer - if so, did it also perfectly match the results of the autopsy? ”

"You mean ......"

Hearing this, Wataru Takagi somewhat understood.

"The deceased deliberately advanced the time of the two meals by three hours and deceived everyone!"

Gao Yuan said.

"The deceased had the habit of taking pictures of the food and uploading them to 'Twitter' before each meal, so you think that the time to send the photos is exactly the time to eat. But in fact, this is not true, because the deceased can take photos in advance and then wait until the time needed to upload them, so the time to upload the photos is not necessarily the time when the deceased eats! ”

"However, if that's the case, wouldn't that mean that she's really good......"

Hearing this, Takayama Ayase couldn't believe Takato's speculation.

And Takato followed Takayama Ayase's words and continued:

"That's right, if I'm right, it can only mean one thing - Sawaguchi's death, she planned it herself! In other words, the deceased wanted to commit suicide, but she had the bitterness that she couldn't. So she found the murderer and asked him to kill herself. In return, she decides to create an alibi for the murderer! ”

"How could there be such a thing! It's unreasonable! ”

Takayama Ayase couldn't accept this fact anyway, and retorted vigorously.

"Mr. Gao Shan, please calm down, I just said my speculation, there is no evidence at present, and the next step is to see the police investigation."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but comfort, and then said to Takagi Wata:

"However, if this is the case, there is really only one candidate for the murderer - that is, Mr. Kazuo Adachi, who went to the deceased's office at 9 o'clock in the morning on the day of the crime, and I think he should have no alibi at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Moreover, the deceased's 'Twitter' account also posted a photo of dinner at 7 p.m., which apparently could only have been posted by the murderer holding the deceased's mobile phone. ”

"Okay, I'll investigate in this direction right away!"

Hearing this, Wataru Takagi immediately took action and said goodbye to the two for the time being.

Now, only Takato and Takayama Ayase are still sitting here-

"So, Mr. Takayama, I have a question for you - did the person you mentioned, Professor Sawaguchi, who has always liked him, really died more than ten years ago? You should know that person, too! ”

At this moment, Takato looked at the absent-minded Takayama Ayase and asked the question he had been wanting to ask since just now.

"Why do you ask this?"

Lowering her head, Takayama Ayase asked in a low voice.

"It's just that I have a feeling that if Professor Sawaguchi really chooses his own death, then maybe it has something to do with that person, so I have this question."

Gao Yuan said lightly, and then asked the most critical question:

"What's that person's name?"

With his head down, he was silent for a long time, and seemed to hesitate, but in the end, Takayama Ayase still gave Takato an answer:

"His name is Asami Taro, and he was the man of the year in the school. Mayu is two years younger than him, but because he is the same mentor, he often does experiments with him, and over time, Mayu falls in love with this senior...... As a result, I loved it for a lifetime......"

Somewhat helpless, Takayama Ayase said abruptly:

"Wise detective, maybe you're right. But I really don't know about Taro Asami, everything is just what Mayu told me. After all, that person has not been seen since he graduated. And the file about Taro Asami was also lost in a fire many years ago......"
