Chapter 9: The Murder Weapon That Can't Be Found

"As for these two, they are guests who have come here to soak in the bath, and they are also eyewitnesses to the discovery of the deceased."

Twilight Thirteen opened a pair of beanie eyes and looked at the few people who had been pointed out.

"Take them down and make separate notes."

Several police officers came out from behind, taking statements from several eyewitnesses.

"Well, are you a detective?"

Twilight Thirteen is a little curious, and there is a good chance that the detectives who are so active at the scene of the crime are those who don't follow the rules and regulations.

"Of course not, we are cadets of the police academy, and Officer Twilight hasn't seen each other for a long time."

Miheko Sato came out from behind Mochizuki, and she had been waiting at the back door, afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to run out.

"It's Sato."

Twilight Thirteen sighed a little, the years are not forgiving, and in a blink of an eye, Miheko Sato has reached the age of work.

"Officer Twilight, the deceased's name is Kanako Nishino, and it is indeed the wife of that gentleman, Mr. Nishino has been on a business trip recently, and he just came back from Osaka today, and he saw a note left by his wife at home, so he rushed here, and was regarded as a voyeur."

"Mr. Officer, you mean the deceased's name is Kanako Nishino?"

Mochizuki listened bizarrely, if she remembered correctly, the female employee just called the deceased Mrs. Fujino, and it was a man who called to cancel the appointment, and then contacted the environment here, and it was self-evident what happened.

"Yes, the deceased's name is Kanako Nishino, and he was strangled by something in the form of a belt, but he didn't find it around, and he was suspected of being taken away by the murderer."

"Mr. Nishino, was your wife's name Kanako Fujino before?"

Mochizuki nodded to the police officer who spoke, and then questioned Mr. Nishino, who was standing aside wiping his tears.

"Uh, it's not, Kanako's previous surname was Shimizu."

Mr. Nishino was a little overwhelmed and didn't know whether to answer the woman's question, but it seemed that she was in league with the police.

Mochizuki received an affirmative answer, and looked at Mr. Nishino with some sympathy, this person probably has a big green hat on his head, but I don't know if he is pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

"Officer Twilight, the deceased may have had a mistress."

Mochizuki quietly walks over to Officer Twilight and tells him the news.

"In this case, it is possible that the person who called to cancel the appointment was not Mr. Nishino but the lover."

Twilight Thirteen touched his chin and said with a headache that the suspicion of the customers in the store had not been eliminated, and an unidentified mistress had appeared, which was difficult to deal with.

"Officer Twilight, the guests in the store have all searched their bodies, and no murder weapons have been found, and things that can strangle people such as belts do not match the traces on the deceased's body, and all the guests will change into yukata in the dressing room before entering the bath, and there has been a theft in the locker room before, and now there are special people to take care of it, and no one has entered during the crime."

A police officer with a small notebook reports the investigation to Officer Twilight, who is standing at the scene of the death.

The body has been taken away by the forensic department and handed over to the forensic doctor for autopsy, and the entire space is sealed, only the door can enter and exit, but just now the staff member said that no one went in, what is going on?

Mochizuki looked around with some confusion, knowing that she should have come in early to see the corpse, maybe she could catch the ghost of the deceased, and just let her identify the murderer.

"Officer Twilight, I've found Mr. Fujino who contacted the deceased, and he's here."

A bearded, somewhat murderous police officer pointed to two couples clinging to each other in the corner of the hall.

Obviously, someone has just died at the scene, but these two people are like no one around, this high interest is a bit outrageous!

is not restrained at all, the people around him are miserable, and they want to go home, just these two show affection, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit fake.

The deceased's cell phone contained a large number of flirtatious text messages with Fujino, and they had made a phone call this morning, and they tried to dial the phone, only to have the phone ringing in the customer's belongings that had not yet been checked.

This Mr. Fujino is now mixed in with the crowd, and the lady next to him doesn't know if it's another victim of him, or an accomplice.

"Bring him up, immediately investigate his alibi, and focus on his belongings."

Twilight Thirteen instructed as he walked towards Fujino, who was mixed in the crowd, and just called from the police station, Nishino had indeed just arrived home and found his ride record at the station, and he had a clear alibi at the time of the crime, and the murderer was someone else.

Mochizuki stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two clearly, since Mr. Nishino was not suspicious, then there was only this person who stayed at the scene of the crime and had an improper relationship with the deceased, but is it really that simple?

"Miss Qingzhu, how are you sure that there is no one in the soup pool?"

The female employee who had just grabbed Mr. Nishino at the door was called into the house to wait for questioning, and Mochizuki took the opportunity to ask a few words.

"Hey, it's not me, it's a guest next to me, she said that the temperature of the soup pool is a bit low, let me see if there is something wrong with the water system, so I checked the surrounding soup pool."

Qing Nagisa Kaoru was a little panicked, there was indeed no one inside at that time, and the room was opened by herself, but then there were indeed dead people inside, what the hell was going on.

"Have you been in all the rooms?"

"Of course not, I just stood at the door of the customer's room and asked if there was anything unusual."

Mochizuki smiled slightly, the murderer was already certain, but what the murder weapon was.

It can strangle a person but is so ordinary that it doesn't even attract the attention of the police, and if necessary, it can be framed by someone else.

Mochizuki pulled her hair a little irritably, how the deceased appeared here is also a question, it stands to reason that she knows that her husband is going home, and she shouldn't run out to cheat again.

Unless she had to come for a reason, someone else sent her a text message in addition to the message to Mr. Nishino, so the deceased sneaked here.

"Now, Mr. Officer, is there any deleted chat history on the deceased's mobile phone?"

"Not really, but there was a strange message saying--I'm waiting for you here. The message was sent from Mr. Fujino's mobile phone, presumably from the victim he had called out. ”

Mr. Police Officer is happy, obviously he has determined that Fujino is the murderer, and now the chain of evidence except for the murder weapon has been closed.

"Mr. Fujino, please come with us to the police station."

Officer Twilight has a serious face, but Mochizuki can't laugh, Fujino is indeed a scumbag, but he is also the target of the murderer, and he is the scapegoat she has carefully prepared.

The key now is to find the missing link in the whole case, otherwise no one will be able to bring her to justice even if she uncovers the killer's plan.
