21:09. Whispered sobs can be heard in the living room of room 1003 of the high-rise apartment.

Sitting on the sofa, Akemi Miyano reached out and gently rubbed the position of her temples, after being awakened in her sleep nearly half an hour ago, she had been feeling uncomfortable, and her head was still a little groggy, like the tiredness that can only be felt when she has just recovered from a bad cold.

She looked sideways at the mobile search team that was inspecting the scene of the eucalyptus on the balcony, and couldn't help but wonder why she was inexplicably involved in the fall of the building when she was just accompanying her best friend to the party.

"Yami, do you want to go back first if you're not feeling well?" Kakizaki Sayuri, who is a best friend, said that she didn't expect that attending a party held by her high school classmates would be like this.

Akemi Miyano shook her head with a smile, and said comfortingly: "I'm fine, besides, it's not clear what kind of case it is, if he kills me, I'm also a suspect, and leaving without permission will cause trouble to the police investigation." I'll go to the kitchen and pour a glass of water to drink, do you want it? ”

"That's right, I won't drink it, and now my stomach is still full of alcohol, so I'm panicking!"

"You, I told you to drink less just now, and now you know it's uncomfortable, right? I'll make you a cup of honey water, and it will be more comfortable to drink. With that, Akemi Miyano got up and walked directly to the kitchen, taking out her mobile phone to send an email while brewing honey water, and she would definitely contact the police later, so it was better to say hello first, so as not to disturb the organization like last time.

After soaking the honey water, she receives an email from the watchdog of the organization who is responsible for keeping track of her daily trip.

Akemi Miyano was not upset to see this mocking email, she shoved her phone back into her pocket, and prepared to go out with honey water, when she happened to hear a knock at the door.

She walked to the door and opened it, and it should have been the police who came here at this time. After pulling the door open and seeing who was standing outside the door, she showed a surprised expression, obviously having doubts in her heart - didn't Fujiwara-kun work in Osaka?

How did you end up in Tokyo? Fujiwara Yoshi, who was standing outside the door, did not expect that after returning to Tokyo, the first eucalyptus he took over would meet Akemi Miyano.

And her appearance here doesn't mean that she is also one of the suspects. Although he knew in his heart that the other party would not be a murderer, according to the process and the basic literacy of the police, he still had to treat Akemi Miyano as a criminal suspect.

"Huh? Eagle Division Sergeant? Kakizaki Sayuri, who was sitting on the sofa, caught a glimpse of the familiar purple and immediately jumped up from the sofa, she had a good impression of this smart police officer, of course, the kind of good impression that worships the strong.

Fujiwara nodded politely at Kakizaki Sayuri, and he lowered his eyes to Akemi Miyano in a hazy blue turtleneck, which suited her well and made her complexion fairer.

"Officer Eagle Division, are you thirsty? This glass of water is for you. Akemi Miyano handed over the honey water in her hand with a little embarrassment, she never thought that the reunion would be at the scene of eucalyptus, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Kakizaki Sayuri, who was very knowledgeable and didn't come over, couldn't help but squint her eyes, and she couldn't help whispering in her heart: Yami, this guy is really forgetting his friends, that is obviously the honey water that was soaked for me, how can he give it to a stinky man.

Didn't know what they were called

Fujiwara Yo, a "stinky man", did not deliberately pretend not to know to avoid suspicion, he took a sip of honey water, and couldn't help but care after finding that there was honey: "Drinking?" If you don't feel well, you should sit and rest. ”

"I didn't drink it, the smell of wine on my body is Sha Youli's, you go and make a eucalyptus, I'll make her another drink." After Fujiwara Yu drank all the honey water, he put the cup aside and walked towards the living room, and he noticed the man with glasses sitting on the sofa with a depressed face, crying so sadly, it must be the husband of the victim, Kitagawa Takahiro.

He didn't rush to the eucalyptus scene to investigate, there were people from the mobile search team there, and they could provide a lot of information to themselves, so it would be better to meet these suspects for a while.

"Excuse me, I'm Sousuke Takaji, a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department, can I ask you a few questions now?" Kitagawa Chongyu, whose eyelids were a little swollen, nodded, and responded in a thick nasal voice: "Yes, Mr. Officer, if you have any questions, we will cooperate." ”

"First of all, please introduce yourself, and explain the relationship between yourself and the victim, as well as your respective alibi at the time of the attack." The first to speak out was naturally Takahiro Kitagawa, who said that his wife, Hiromi Kitagawa, had planned the reunion a week earlier, and all of them were classmates from Shinagawa High School, except for Masami Saito, who accompanied her best friend.

Eucalyptus time because the wife wants to eat the food and drink alone to go to the convenience store to buy, the return trip to chat with the administrator, I heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, go upstairs to confirm that it was indeed his wife Kitagawa Hiromi who fell.

Kitagawa Takahiro's description was not much different from what Kazuhisa Harada, the apartment manager, had said, and he did have a perfect alibi, but it was a little strange that he happened to witness it when he fell from the building.

And what makes Fujiwara suspicious the most is - if the victim Hiromi Kitagawa plans to commit suicide, then why should she let her husband go to the convenience store to buy snacks, she knows that she can't eat it, why do she want to do more?

If you follow this line of reasoning, there are two answers: first, the victim intends to commit suicide and blame someone in the house, and deliberately let the husband go to ensure that he will not be considered a suspect by the police.

Second, Kitagawa Chongyu knew that Kitagawa Hiromi would die, so he lied that his wife wanted to eat food and drink, and created the most perfect alibi for himself during the fall period.

According to the clues that are available now, Fujiwara Yu is still more inclined to the second type, but he has not yet surveyed the eucalyptus scene and has not listened to other people's descriptions, so he still can't easily draw conclusions.

"I'm Inoue Chie, I'm Hongmei's best friend, and I'm playing games with Sayuri in the living room during the eucalyptus period." Inoue pointed to the carpet controller on the side and continued, "We danced in the living room, and it wasn't until Chongyu ran upstairs in a panic and asked us where Hongmei was, we knocked on the bedroom door, and it turned out that the door to the balcony was open and the bedroom was empty. "If it's a game, they won't be able to hear anything from the balcony.

But now that this case of Fujiwara Yu has been treated as his murder, then even if everyone present has an alibi, there is no way to get rid of suspicion...... Because it's not difficult to make a time-lapse device on the balcony, as long as everyone doesn't go to the bedroom, no one can notice what's wrong.

Therefore, there is no way to rule out the suspicion of this person named Inoue Chie. Fujiwara Yoshi looked at the next suspect, Kakizaki Sayuri, but the latter stretched out his finger and asked, "Officer Takashi, do I want to say it too?" ”

"Of course."
