Officer Megure said with some embarrassment: "Well, Miss Violet, your Chinese is very good!"
Shirakawa Yuki smiled and said, "Because I have lived in China for a long time, my Mandarin is actually quite good."
Officer Megure also breathed a sigh of relief. When he first heard the other party's name, he was a little afraid that he wouldn't understand because of the language barrier. Now this makes him feel more at ease.
Kudo Shinichi, on the other hand, looked at the two sisters in front of him calmly. For some reason, these two people always gave him a very familiar feeling.
But he was very sure that he had never seen the two of them, which was strange.
Officer Megure coughed twice, and then said: "Miss Violet, I heard from Takagi that you have been eating in the restaurant and never left, right?"
Shirakawa Yuki nodded.
Then Officer Megure said with some seriousness: "But because your sister left for almost ten minutes to go to the bathroom, and you stayed alone in the restaurant for a period of time, because no one noticed at the time, it is impossible to determine whether you were there at that time. In place.
In other words, you don’t have an alibi, do you? "
Shirakawa Yuki nodded. Indeed, as he said, he had no alibi.
Because it didn’t take long from the time the deceased died to the time he was discovered, it is difficult to accurately detect the time of death. We can only estimate it roughly. Unfortunately, the time Shirakawa Yuki spent alone happened to be within that range.
Officer Memu touched his chin, "That's going to be difficult. Now I can only ask you to cooperate with our police investigation."
Shirakawa Yuki shrugged and said it didn't matter.
Officer Megure turned his head and glanced at Kudo Shinichi who was standing aside.
Kudo Shinichi shook his head, indicating that he was still unclear, and then turned his head to look at the two sisters.
In fact, he didn't think that Violet would be the murderer. After all, whoever kills someone would bring a child with him!
Although it is possible to deceive others, bringing a child over to implement the plan will make the variables much greater, so it is still unlikely.
Moreover, they did not investigate any relationship between Violet and the deceased. They were just two completely unknown people. (Don’t ask why the protagonist’s casually disguised image can withstand police investigation. Just ask because the plot requires it.)
"Daddy, daddy, daddy!"
At this time, a woman suddenly broke in, and behind her were three men.
"Oh my god, why, why daddy!"
Seeing the woman's sad look, several people opened their mouths, wanting to comfort her, but they didn't know what to say.
At this time, a man behind her said: "When we broke up here just now, he was still alive and well."
Officer Megure frowned, "So, you were the last person to see President Tatsumi just now!"
Another man said: "It was indeed the three of us who took the elevator up to say goodbye to the president just now."
"Not long after, the eldest lady also arrived."
After saying that, the man looked at Ohba Satoru at the back.
Ohba Satoru also nodded, and then said: "The two of us discussed the congratulations here and then went to the reception venue."
Officer Megure asked: "Has anyone ever taken this elevator during this period?"
Ohba Satoru shook his head, "No, no one."
"Then do you know the time?"
Sakurako Tatsumi turned her head, "Well, it was half past eight. At that time, I heard the paper firecrackers going off at the reception. The hour hand must be pointing at eight!"
Officer Takagi looked at her with some confusion, "But I see you don't have a watch on your hand!"
Sakurako Tatsumi explained: "I happened to see the number on Mr. Ohba's watch, and he just reached out and touched my earrings."
"He touched your earring?"
Officer Megure said he was confused.
On the side, Shirakawa Yuki also looked at Sakurako Tatsumi with a melon-eating expression. According to her years of experience in eating melons, there are big melons in it.
She had no impression of this case at all. After all, it had been so long, but now she was listening to it with great interest.
Kudo Shinichi accidentally saw her expression and suddenly felt speechless.
Please, you are still considered a suspect in this case. Is it appropriate to just take advantage of it?
Sakurako Tatsumi nodded and looked at Officer Megure, "He also gave me a gift here, saying that the pearl necklace would match my earrings, but it turned out..."
As she said that, she covered her face and started crying, and Ohba Satoru also held her shoulders and comforted her.
"Miss..."
At this time, a man who was originally with them said to Officer Megure: "Then, we have to convey this unfortunate news to the staff currently at the venue."
After saying that, he left and headed to the reception venue.
And Ohba Satoru also helped Tatsumi Sakurako to the side.
Looking at this scene, Kudo Shinichi narrowed his eyes.
He turned to Officer Takagi and whispered, "Officer Takagi, what they just said was not quite right..."
When Ohba Satoru heard what they were doing, he turned his head strangely, "Huh?"
Officer Takagi quickly explained: "It's okay, he is asking you if you can really see the surface?"
Sakurako Tatsumi was a little angry, "I can see clearly what you are saying!"
Ohba Satoru said: "Maybe when you arrived here, you felt that it was too dark and something was wrong, right?"
As he spoke, he raised his left hand, revealing the watch on his wrist.
"The hour hand of my watch is coated with fluorescent paint, so you can see the time in the dark. As for dimming the lights, it was the president's wish. According to him, it seems to be for some kind of performance!"
After listening to his words, Kudo Shinichi shook his head, "Having said that, there is still something wrong."
After saying that, he leaned into Officer Takagi's ear and whispered, and Officer Megure, who saw this scene, also came over, "Wait, I want to listen too!"
As for Ohba Satoru, he suddenly said excitedly: "Please, tell me what's wrong!"
Seeing him like this, Shirakawa Yuki's eyes darkened. He couldn't hold himself back. It seems like you are the murderer this time!
Shirakawa Yuki shook her head, feeling a little bored and yawned.
Coincidentally, Kudo Shinichi happened to see this scene with his peripheral vision.
He asked with some curiosity: "Miss Violet, do you know something? I just noticed that you shook your head."
Shirakawa Yuki glanced at him and said calmly: "I just think this Mr. Oba is very strange. You just said that it feels a bit strange. Why is he so excited? I feel that he may be the murderer. Isn't that the case on TV? Act?"
After hearing her words, Officer Megure also looked at Ohba Satoru a little strangely, "Yes, Mr. Ohba, why were you so excited just now?"
Ohba Satoru was a little panicked and quickly waved his hand, "Ah no, I'm just curious!"
Officer Memu glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't say anything.
Kudo Shinichi still looked at Shirakawa Yuki with some curiosity, "Is that it?"
Shirakawa Yuki shrugged, "Otherwise, I'm not a detective, so you shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. Besides, I'm considered a suspect now, and I'm not suitable to participate in the analysis of the case."
