"The deceased's name was Mako Shinki, twenty-eight years old, and she shared this villa with a woman named Yayoi Hiroya, who was engaged in photography."

Takagi said as he pushed open the door to the villa.

What catches your eye is a living room with exquisite decoration and simple black and white tones.

It's a little worse than the Suzuki family, but it's not much worse either.

After all, in Fujino's eyes, there is no difference between the villas of these big dogs.

Fujino looked at the luxurious living room, and then asked Takagi, "Anyway, there have been murders here before, right?" ”

"Detective Fujino, how do you know?"

Takagi was a little surprised, "There was indeed a murder here a year ago, and the victim died in the living room at that time. ”

"I guess."

Fujino chuckled.

A villa like this would definitely cost a lot of money to rent it.

It stands to reason that if they are all sharing a house, then the economic situation of the two must not be optimistic, and it is impossible to rent such a villa.

But if there had ever been a murder here, it would be a different story.

"Miss Honggu, who shared a room with the victim Miss Shinki, went to a photographer's sleepout two days ago and didn't return until this morning."

Takagi took Fujino down the stairs to the second floor, "But when she came back in the morning, she found that the door of Miss Shinki's bedroom was locked, and after knocking on the door and asking to no avail, she felt that something was wrong and called the police." ”

"Did Miss Honggu call the police directly after she found out that the door was locked and shouted to no avail?"

Fujino interrupted.

"That's right."

Takagi thought for a while and continued: "After receiving the alarm, at about 9:15 in the morning, the nearby patrol police came to this villa, and after forcibly breaking down the bedroom door, they found the body of Miss Shinki lying on the ground. ”

Hearing this, Fujino couldn't help but save his chin.

Generally speaking, after finding that the door is locked, the normal behavior should be that the owner of the bedroom has gone out.

But how did Yayoi Honggu be able to determine that something happened to Shinki Mako............

Guess out of thin air?

Subsequently, the two came to the bedroom door at the scene of the crime.

Takagi, wearing white gloves, pushed open the door.

What greeted me was a bedroom that didn't look like a girl.

As far as Fujino is concerned, the only thing that looks like a girl is that the room is clean and smellless.

Shinki Mako's bedroom is not too big or small, thirty or forty square meters.

Directly opposite the entrance to the bedroom, there are two leather brown single sofas, in front of which there is a small table that serves as a coffee table, the whole coffee table is wooden, and on the glass top, a solitary ashtray is placed.

The ashtray is made of glass, and inside the ashtray, there are two different brands of cigarette butts.

He looked to the other side of the room.

At the end of the room on the left side of the window, there is a large gray wooden bed, and on the left hand side of the entrance to the bed is a large wooden wardrobe of nearly two meters.

Directly opposite the bed, at the left end of the window, is a wooden desk.

And this time, the victim of the case was lying next to a chair in front of the desk.

In the small bedroom, in addition to the slightly crowded furniture, there are many officers of the Forensic Division wearing blue uniforms who hurriedly survey the scene.

Among the many blue figures, a figure in an off-white suit was particularly conspicuous.

"Officer Sato!"

"Fujino-kun, you're here."

Hearing a familiar voice, Miwako Sato looked back and saw Fujino in a suit vest.

"So, was the victim shot and killed?"

Fujino stepped forward, took a look at the body lying on the ground, and asked Miwako Sato about the victim.

"That's right, after the preliminary inference of the forensic class, it was indeed due to the shooting."

Miwako Sato replied, "But whether it was the bullet fired by the pistol or not will have to be brought back to the police station for testing." ”

"Is that so?"

Fujino continued to ask, "I remember on the phone just now, the Twilight Police Department told me that this case is a little strange, what is strange?" ”

"There is no problem with the posture of the corpse, it slipped from the chair in front of the desk next to it, the doors and windows are locked, and normally this case can be closed as suicide............

Strangely, however, the muzzle of the gun on the left side of Miss Shinki's head was on the right side, and the hand holding the gun was right-handed, and there was no key to lock the door in her room. ”

"Keys?"

Listening to Miwako Sato's description, Fujino was surprised, "Normally, shouldn't doors have knobs that lock from the inside?" ”

"Normally, this is the case, but this villa is a bit old, and the door is not locked from the inside, so you can only use the key to lock it............"

"So I think this case may be a burglary with a gun, the murderer shot and killed her in a panic after being discovered by Miss Shinki, and then disguised the crime scene as a suicide in a closed room, and fled the scene in a hurry."

After a pause, Miwako Sato looked at Wataru Takagi: "But this guy Takagi always feels that things are a little strange, so the Twilight Police Department will invite Fujino-kun to come over and take a look." ”

Takagi scratched the back of his head when he heard this, revealing an embarrassed look, "I just feel that since it was a robber who killed someone, it stands to reason that the murderer should not let go of Miss Shinki's obviously valuable watch." ”

"That's why I said that the murderer set up the scene in a panic."

Miwako Sato breathed a sigh of relief, "Not only did I misplace the muzzle, but I even took the key to this room with me." ”

"But since he was shot, the people around him should have heard something, right?"

At this time, Fujino, who had been listening, suddenly asked.

"The time of Miss Shinki's death is preliminarily speculated to be around eleven o'clock last night."

Wataru Takagi replied, "I remember there was a fireworks show around here at that time last night, and the sound of gunfire must have been muffled by the sound of fireworks.........

"Did he kill a suicide in disguise?"

Hearing this, Fujino muttered and walked slowly to the windowsill.

Is it really the same as Miwako Sato said, just a robbery case?

But I always felt that something was wrong.

Since the system released a bizarre suicide case, not a robber murder case, then this case should be different.

Thinking about it, Fujino put on white gloves and came to the windowsill.

After confirming that the window was locked from the inside, he turned to look at the desk in front of the chair where Shinki Mako had naturally collapsed.

In the middle of the desk is an unfolded leather notebook............

If you look closely, you can see that there are traces of tearing off the cracks between the pages.

And in the pen holder on the left side of the notebook, there is also a pen that looks a little high-end.

Retracting his gaze, Fujino slowly walked to the corpse, and after leaning down slightly, he began to look at Shinki Mako's body.

Shinki Mako is wearing black short sleeves, white slacks, the same age as Takagi said, from the appearance of about twenty to thirty years old, not too stunning, but there is a mature beauty.

It's just that the blood-colored flower that bloomed on her left temple broke this beauty............
