In the afternoon, early four o'clock.
Tottori Prefectural Police Headquarters, search the office of Section 1.
Katsuhiko Yamane was holding coffee in his left hand and flipping through the files on Sakurai Takera's murder case in his right hand, frowning——
Takera Sakurai, who was killed this time, was not a good person. He had no job, was a bad gambler, and occasionally engaged in extortion. His interpersonal relationships were very complicated, and there were many people with motive for committing the crime.
During this period, the police conducted investigations on people with motives for committing crimes, and now focused on five suspects. Four of the suspects have already been investigated once, and only one suspect named Matsuo Takahiro has never been found. .
This Matsuo Takahiro, like Sakurai Takera, is also a bad gambler. According to the investigation, Matsuo Takahiro and Sakurai Takera once borrowed money for gambling. The day before their expected death, Sakurai Takera and Matsuo Takahiro asked for money to no avail. The two almost fought, and finally broke up on bad terms. From this point of view alone, Matsuo Takahiro can be said to be the biggest suspect.
Of course, the police also investigated Matsuo Takahiro's whereabouts, but people around him said that this guy borrowed money from loan sharks a few days ago and lost everything. Now he must be afraid, so he found a place to hide...
However, in Yamane Katsuhiko's opinion, Matsuo Takahiro might have been scared after killing someone, so he hid.
Katsuhiko Yamane looked at the file and took a sip of coffee. A police officer suddenly broke into the office and said loudly: "Officer Yamane, I just got the news that Matsuo Takahiro may be hiding in the Kishiyama Hotel near the dock. Someone Saw him coming in and out of the hotel..."
"What? Is it true? Then let's go there quickly!"
Yamane Katsuhiko suddenly stood up and asked his men to prepare to set off immediately.
The men responded, and not long after, the group got into the police car together. The police car drove slowly, and Yamane Katsuhiko looked at the retreating scenery outside the car window, and couldn't help but think of Shu Yunwen and others:
"...Those weird people, they should have arrived at the cemetery where the crime occurred, right? However, the cemetery has been fully investigated by the police, so there cannot be any clues..."
"...Forget it, let them wander around the cemetery. They can't solve the case anyway..."
…
"What? Your name is Misa? Are you the daughter of the Takeda family?"
In the cemetery, Shu Yunwen and Koizumi Hongzi were slightly stunned when they heard Takeda Misa's words, and remembered what Okamoto Ryo and Hua Ming had said before.
Misa Takeda nodded and replied with a smile: "...Yes, that's me."
Well, it’s true!
Shu Yunwen glanced at Takeda Misa, and then asked curiously: "... Speaking of which, why did you commit suicide in the first place? By the way, we met a foreigner named Robert at Guangsi Temple before, and he seemed to be yours friend……"
"Robert is here already?" Misa Takeda suddenly became nervous.
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment: "...already? From what you mean, you seem to have known that he would come?"
"No, no..." Takeda Misa shook her head, and then casually changed the subject, "...The reason why I committed suicide...should be said to be stupid, right? Well...I regretted it for a while after my death. Didn’t read much…”
"Read more?" Shu Yunwen repeated Takeda Misa's words——
Okay, we're just curious about why you committed suicide. Why did you mention "reading more"?
Did she commit suicide because she didn't study well and finally felt guilty?
Hmm... This reason is so ridiculous, it's impossible no matter how you think about it! ~
Shu Yunwen chatted with Takeda Misa for a few more words, then turned to look at Koizumi Anko and said: "...Koizumi-san, Miss Misa is not the same as the spider demon we imagined. Can we leave here too? Hmm. ...I still have a lot of time this weekend, and I plan to go shopping in Tottori with my girlfriend..."
"Well, okay." Koizumi Hongzi nodded slightly, "...then I wish you and your girlfriend have a good time."
Koizumi Anko dispelled the magic shield, stuffed the magic wand into her skirt, turned and walked towards where Tsukamoto Sumi and others were.
Takeda Misa stared at Koizumi Anko's skirt, her mouth opened slightly, Shu Yunwen coughed lightly and said: "...She is a witch, she can do magic, it is normal to wear it under the skirt..."
"Oh..." Misa Takeda was speechless, and then suddenly said, "...By the way, Mr. Soul Exterminator. Can you please, don't tell me about my existence, especially don't tell my family. And, and...Robert, I, I am like this now..."
Misa Takeda looked down at her spider belly and eight long legs, with a disappointed look on her face: "...They will definitely be frightened when they see it, so it's better not to let them know..."
"Uh..." Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, I promise you. But please remember, you are never allowed to hurt others at will in the future. If I hear this in Tokyo I will come here again for this kind of news, and when the time comes, I will not be merciful..."
"Yes, really?" Takeda Misa's expression froze and she nodded.
Shu Yunwen waved to Takeda Misa, and when he was about to walk towards Tsukamoto Sumi and the others, he saw Okamoto Ryo, and suddenly thought of the case——
Speaking of which, this time the uncle from Tottori Prefecture was willing to help, and it was Officer Megure who helped contact him.
Officer Mumu gave me face, so we have to give face too!
Misa Takeda seems to have been here at the cemetery all the time, so she might know who the murderer is. If we can help find the murderer and solve the case, then all our dignity and dignity will be saved...
Shu Yunwen thought about it, stopped again, turned to look at Takeda Misa and said: "...Ms. Misa, I want to ask you something. A few days ago, a body wrapped with fishing line was found here in the cemetery. You know Right? Do you know who the murderer is? "
"...The murderer?" Takeda Misa was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "...I think...it should be Master Hua Ming standing there..."
"Master Hua Ming?!"
Shu Yunwen was a little dazed and looked at Hua Ming in shock: "...is it really him?"
"Hmm... nine times out of ten..." Takeda Misa nodded immediately, "...I remember that he was the one who moved the body, and I was watching when he wrapped the fishing line on the body. By the way, I still remember that after he placed the body here, he also took some things and buried them in the woods on the other side of the hillside..."
"Something?" Shu Yunwen turned to look at where Takeda Misa was talking, "...what?"
"It seems like... unused fishing line and a syringe for injection?" Misa Takeda replied thoughtfully.
Fishing line? And a needle for injection?
Listening to Takeda Misa's words, Shu Yunwen immediately remembered the cause of Sakurai Takera's death introduced by Yamane Katsuhiko before, which seemed to be death by injection of venom... Well...
Shu Yunwen looked at Hua Ming again and clicked his tongue twice——
Looking at Hua Ming's kind-hearted look, if Takeda Misa hadn't exposed him, he would never have believed that this monk was the murderer!
Shu Yunwen shook his head slightly, turned to Takeda Misa and said: "Miss Misa, please take me to the place where Master Hua Ming buried things..."
"...Well, I have to help solve the case. Those are all evidence!~"
