Chapter 41: The Time of Vanishing
Because the alibi was punctured, Ana Ito had a major suspicion, so she was directly taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation.
"Tell me what happened last night."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Yuki Shirakawa asked indifferently.
She already knew that the police had seen through her alibi as a forgery, so she didn't continue to lie.
"Last night the professor asked me to revise my thesis, but the whole school knew what he was, and I wanted to refuse, but he said that if I didn't go, I wouldn't want to pass the final course.
So I went, but when I got to his house, he started to do something to me, and I was a little scared, so I took the ashtray and hit him on the head a few times.
I really didn't mean to, I didn't expect him to die just a few hits! ”
Speaking of which, she was a little frightened.
Officer Twilight wanted to say that the fatal wound was a knife wound to the left chest, but was stopped by Yuki Shirakawa.
Yuki Shirakawa continued, "And then?" ”
Ana Ito continued: "I thought he was dead after he fell, so I panicked and went to find Kazuya, and he decided to help me dispose of the body. ”
Hearing this, Yuki Shirakawa interrupted her, "This and too?" ”
"Kazuya Narita, my boyfriend."
Hearing her words, Yuki Shirakawa nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"Later, when we went to dispose of the body, we found that Goto Takaaki had been stabbed in the left chest, but I obviously didn't do it, and Kazuya confirmed it with me many times, but I'm pretty sure I didn't stab him."
After saying this, Anna Ito was taken down by the police.
Officer Twilight looked at Yuki Shirakawa, who was thinking next to him, "How's it going?" ”
Yuki Shirakawa said: "It's not like she's panicking, and she still thinks that she killed Goto Takaaki, so there's no need to hide the knife." ”
After thinking about it, Yuki Shirakawa proposed, "Let's talk to that Narita Kazuya." ”
Officer Twilight nodded, "I've sent someone to look for it." ”
It didn't take long for Narita to be brought over, "Let's talk about it, last night's incident, your little girlfriend has already explained everything." ”
Hearing this, Kazuya Narita also told it all, and in general, it was no different from what Ana Ito said.
They didn't admit that they did the knife.
After questioning, Yuki Shirakawa followed the police to see Kazuya Narita's car, and although it had been cleaned, a small amount of blood was found on it, and after examination, it was indeed the blood of the deceased.
Later, the tire prints and other things were sent to the Kyoto police, and it was confirmed that the tire prints at the place where the body was dumped were the same car.
It was confirmed that Kazuya Hirata had indeed been to the place where the body was dumped.
But this is not easy to do, and they don't admit that the knife was stabbed by themselves, and the case is once again at an impasse.
Yuki Shirakawa asked Yohei Asaba to help hack into the surveillance near the crime scene and watched it carefully.
She repeatedly watched the surveillance video from 20:00 to 22:00 last night, and after watching it a few times, she suddenly found that something was wrong, and when she went back and took a closer look, she found Irataro's car in the surveillance!
Glancing at the time of the surveillance record, 20:22. How is this possible, according to Ryotaro I, he was obviously drinking at Osamu Akimoto's house last night, and the car was parked downstairs at Osamu Akimoto's house, how could he be here?
A thought came to her mind, and she had already made a preliminary inference that the murderer would be that person.
Yuki Shirakawa went to Ryotaro Ii, and after questioning, he found that according to him, he had only slept for five minutes after arriving at Akimotoji's house before waking up.
This made her more sure of the murderer.
Then she arrived at the scene of the crime, and then took the police car from the scene to Akimotoji's house, and Yuki Shirakawa glanced at the time, exactly 20 minutes had passed.
Because they had just received their marriage certificate, Akimoto and his wife were not at home on their honeymoon, and Yuki Shirakawa asked Officer Twilight to pick the lock.
Originally, Officer Twilight was still a little resistant, after all, there is no evidence to prove that Akimoto is the murderer, so it can be regarded as trespassing on a private house.
But Yuki Shirakawa still picked the lock under the official statement.
Entering the room, the police began a large-scale search, and eventually found a bottle of sleeping pills in the bedroom drawer, and as far as they knew, the Akimoto couple had no symptoms of insomnia.
In the end, the police took all the knives from the kitchen and decided to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department to have someone from the laboratory department check to see if there was any DNA belonging to Takaaki Goto.
Eventually, the DNA of the deceased was found on a Japanese-style Santoku knife.
The evidence was conclusive, and Officer Twilight immediately dispatched the police to the place where the couple was on their honeymoon and arrested them.
After catching Akimotoji, Officer Twilight was still a little puzzled, "I don't understand, why do you know that Akimoto is the murderer, Sister Hoshino?" ”
Yuki Shirakawa smiled, "Officer Twilight, do you remember Ryotaro's car that was found in the surveillance earlier?" Ryotaro was very drunk that night, so who drove the car? ”
Officer Twilight was a little confused, "If it was Osamu Akimoto who drove there, then could it be that Ryotaro Ui gave false testimony?" According to him, they drank together between eight and nine o'clock. ”
Yuki Shirakawa shook his head, "No, Irataro didn't panic, it's just that time is gone." ”
Officer Twilight's eyes, "Gone, gone?" ”
Yuki Shirakawa sold a pass, "Remember Irataro saying that his phone was broken by Osamu Akimoto?" ”
"What's wrong with that? Oh, Sister Hoshino, don't sell it. Officer Twilight was in a hurry.
Yuki Shirakawa had no choice but to tell her reasoning.
"Irataro's phone was damaged, and he didn't have a watch, so how did he know that he arrived at Osamu Akimoto's house at nine o'clock in the evening? It can only be a clock from Osamu Akimoto's house.
I speculate that Osamu Akimoto must have moved the time forward by an hour in advance, while smashing Ryotaro Ino's phone so that he couldn't get the exact time, and then put sleeping pills on his meal.
So Irataro thought it was nine o'clock in the evening, but it was only eight o'clock at the time, and then in order to avoid being suspected, Akimoto Osamu drove Iragataro's car parked at his house to the scene of the crime, killed Takaaki Goto, and then returned home to turn the time back to the correct time.
Remember Irataro saying he only slept for 5 minutes? Actually, I think it should be an hour and five minutes. ”
After listening to Yuki Shirakawa's reasoning, Officer Twilight also understood the truth of the matter, and it turned out that this was the truth of the so-called "disappearance of time".
But he had one last question, "Why did he go to the scene after 8 p.m.?" How could he be sure that the victim was there? ”
Shirakawa Yuki smiled indifferently, "It's very simple, after all, Akimoto has been cooperating with the victim for a year, and it is not surprising that the victim will read literature in the office during that time period." ”
Later, several people went to meet the captured Akimoto and his wife, and when they heard Shirakawa Yuki's reasoning and the evidence was conclusive, the two of them were immediately deflated and told their motives.
"Takaaki Goto got the handle of my illegal production, if it is exposed, I will not be able to stay in this industry.
I've been trying my best to satisfy his blackmail, but I didn't expect him to demand more and more, I really can't support it anymore, I just got married, and I have more places to use money, so I can't ......"
At this point, he didn't continue, but several people understood what he meant.
With a sigh, Yuki Shirakawa walked out with Officer Twilight.
At the end of the incident, Officer Twilight hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Yuki Shirakawa noticed that he had come to the Metropolitan Police Department, and he hadn't seen Mori Kogoro until now.
Somewhat confused, he asked, "Strange, isn't Uncle Maori here, why haven't I seen him?" ”
Only then did Officer Twilight remember the person Kogoro Maori, and it turned out that he had not been able to solve it before, so he asked him to go back to the office with a copy of the case documents.
At this time, he heard Yuki Shirakawa mention it, and Officer Twilight hurriedly called the office.
"Hey, ah, it's Xiaolan, you tell the Maori brother that the case has been solved by Sister Hoshino, so you don't have to worry about him, ahhahahaha!"
……
And the detective agency on the other side.
Xiaolan looked at Maori Kogoro, who was drunk and asleep, and looked helpless.
"I see, Officer Twilight, I'll tell him."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Daddy!"
Xiaolan stood in front of Maori Kogoro's table, shouting with her waist crossed.
"Ah, the case, what's wrong with the case!"
Mori Kogoro woke up in fright and grabbed the document in front of him.
It turned out that after he returned to the office, he looked at the case and thought about it for a long time and didn't have any ideas, so he planned to drink and relax, but he didn't expect it to be out of control.
Looking at Maori Kogoro in front of her, Xiaolan looked angry, "The case has been solved by Haruna, who let you sleep here all the time." ”
Hearing that the case was solved, Maori Kogoro continued to sleep, leaving only Xiaolan with a helpless face.
