011 Apartment Manager
Inoue was still on the second floor in disbelief at the change in the situation, and Watanabe went downstairs and went out to Sato's house to ask Nakamura, who was investigating in front of the house, "How is the situation?" β
Nakamura responded: "I rang the doorbell, but no one responded." One of the houses here is a rental house, and I contacted the apartment manager and he will come later. β
"Okay, let's wait a while." Watanabe nodded.
"Watanabe-san, what's the situation inside?"
"I watched, and what Inouue-san said didn't happen." Watanabe replied, "Everything is normal. β
"Everything... Normal? β
Just like Watanabe's previous performance, Nakamura's eyes widened with suspicion when he heard the word "normal". All the previous talk and the behavior of the person who called the police showed that this case was extraordinary, but Watanabe said that everything was normal.
"Looking through the second floor bedroom window next door, there was no sign of a homicide, but not sure what was going on elsewhere. According to Inoue-san, if it is such a cruel method of crime, it is difficult not to leave a trace. Watanabe said in a normal tone, "I'll go and explain the situation to the police officer first." β
At this time, Inoue ran out and said to Watanabe: "Watanabe Criminal, I didn't lie, I really didn't lie, I saw it, Sato's body." I definitely saw it! β
"Inoue-san, calm down, we will investigate the specific situation. Shall we speak with facts? β
"I really saw it! Absolute! β
"Well, we'll look into it. Come, Nakamura, you talk to Inoue-san about the situation. β
After sending the excited Inoue to Nakamura, Watanabe returned to the car to report the situation to the team, and reported back the situation that "there is no abnormal situation for the time being, and whether there are any victims", hung up the intercom, and he sat in the car to look at Nakamura and Inoue, who were having a heated conversation.
Inoue's body language is somewhat aggressive, constantly encroaching on Nakamura's social space, and this action expresses from the side that Inoue is very confident in what he is saying now, hoping that Nakamura will trust him.
But based on Inoue's words alone, Watanabe could hardly ignore the fact that nothing was happening in Sato's house, despite the sudden outpouring of Watanabe's temples at the sight of the quiet bedroom. His instinctive sense of smell for anomalies made him aware that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Something must have happened, but not in sight. It is also possible that Inoue lied, and there are countless possibilities for a matter before it is determined, but there is only one answer. Watanabe calls this theory quantum facts.
"So what's the final answer to the matter at hand?" Watanabe paused, "Could it be Inoue lying?" Or is he delusional? PerhapsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· The prisoner took care of all this in this short period of time. β
Watanabe had his own inclinations in his heart, but the lack of facts to back him up made his decision. And it is almost impossible to deal with a crime scene from the time the police are called to the time they arrive.
Hardly possible.
Watanabe took another deep breath, he was taking a deep breath to calm his mind, and when his energy returned, he got out of the car and went to appease Inoue.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a man walking at the end of the road.
Because it is a residential area, and it is dark at night, the street lights in the vicinity are not very bright. Watanabe saw only a black silhouette, flickering on and off in the spaced streetlights. He's getting closer.
At two o'clock in the morning, it is difficult for passers-by to pass by this residential area, and Watanabe immediately realized the anomaly.
The man soon appeared in front of everyone.
It's a young man. In his twenties, with slightly longer hair and a black trench coat, he walked towards everyone step by step, and the sound was very small. Watanabe kept looking at him.
The man walked past Inoue and Nakamura, who were talking, but the two were still discussing the scene of the crime and didn't notice him. The man walked up to the house and was about to walk to the door. Watanabe really didn't expect the other party to ignore the three of them, so he was stunned before he stepped forward to stop him.
"Well, may I ask who you are?"
The man then turned his gaze to Watanabe, his gaze swept around, saw Nakamura and Inoue, and asked, "Who are you?" β
Watanabe took out his police ID card and introduced himself: "I'm police officer Watanabe. β
"Ah, it's the police." The man said, bowing his head slightly in respect, "Hello." β
Nakamura only found out at this time that a fourth person had appeared at the scene, and took this opportunity to get rid of Inoue and walk in front of the man: "You are the apartment administrator, San, right?" We need your help, it's happening at the Sato house..."
"What do you call it?" When Nakamura was about to tell the situation, Watanabe interrupted him and took the right to speak.
"Kurihara."
"Kurihara-san."
"You're the apartment manager?"
At this moment, Tsukasa Kurihara nodded without hesitation for a second. The person who came was Tsukasa Kurihara who had finished chatting with Kiritaro.
Because of Kiritaro's connection with the other half of himself, Tsukasa Kurihara easily got the address of the middle-aged man. Tsukasa Kurihara was able to sense the urgency of the situation, and decided to go to the scene without any hesitation.
However, arriving at the scene, the Watanabe trio were found.
He didn't think much of it, he just thought it was the three of them who were idle and had nothing to do, but when Watanabe came up to introduce him, the situation changed.
Neon police, restrained by secular forces, Tsukasa Kurihara moved in his heart and followed the other party's words.
Could it be that Sato is dead? Tsukasa Kurihara hit the bull's-eye at once. But it's normal, otherwise what would the police do, it's just that he wants to know more news.
The inoue next to him looked Kurihara up and down, a little puzzled, and whispered: "Why haven't I seen this person, the new apartment administrator?" β
Watanabe didn't hear Inoue muttering, and he said, "In that case, let's help open the door." β
Watanabe did not disclose any information about the merits of the case.
Such a deliberate cover-up made Tsukasa Kurihara confirm his guess. He put himself in the role of the apartment administrator, and walked forward while taking out the key from his pocket, and said: "It's really inhuman to wake people up in the middle of the night, I'm asleep in the bed, and a phone call came." Actually, I'm fine, it's just my girlfriend, hey, I'll go back later, but I'll have to coax it. β
After saying that, Tsukasa Kurihara took out the key to Nishijima's house and inserted it into the keyhole of the door of Sato's house, fitted perfectly, turned, and the door opened.
His natural actions confirmed the identity of the apartment administrator, Nakamura was completely convinced, and Inoue's doubts disappeared completely - who else would have the key to someone else's house besides the apartment administrator?
Only Watanabe kept an eye on it.
If it is an apartment administrator, how can it be possible to open the user's house with only one key. But because the door was open, Watanabe didn't pursue it too much, and after thinking about it for a while, he put it aside. What matters now is whether or not there was a homicide.
