Chapter 31 chapter Ten

That night, the police in Karuizawa had no peace at all. First, according to Uehara Shōzo's request, quickly search for Miyoko's whereabouts.The police searched all the train stations and bus stations, but there was no sign of her; then, according to the location written in her suicide note, they searched for Qianzhilong Mountain, and with the assistance of the local fire brigade and the Youth Association, Carefully searched the nearby mountains and mountains. Then there is the plainclothes detective Arai, who is the subordinate of the Inspector of Waiting Power.Came here in a hurry from Tokyo and reported to the police officer Waiting Power. The results of the investigation confirmed that Ao Ye was a habitual criminal of marriage fraud. There are already three people who can prove that he is exactly Karuizawa who came by express train on Saturday morning. Inspector Okada was very excited about this news.

According to the facts of the case, Aono, Kosuke Kindaichi, and other police inspectors and plainclothes criminal policeman Arai were brought to trial immediately, and they sat in the jury seat with a serious attitude.Ao Ye who was interrogated sat in the dock.He appeared very calm, deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb. "Did you make a mistake?" Aono, who had already exposed his true colors, was still playing rogue tactics, "I came here yesterday morning by the express train from Ueno, and I was supposed to be home before two o'clock in the afternoon, but there was a landslide on my way. It was blocked, vehicles could not pass through, and it was delayed until around four o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Yuriko was still alive and well!"

"Nonsense, you have to be more honest!" Okada Police Department was furious.Kindaichi Kosuke couldn't help but frowned. "I'm telling the truth, Mr. Director! I know that modern medicine is very advanced. Didn't you invite a senior forensic doctor from Tokyo to dissect the two corpses? I'm looking forward to the results of the test, and I heard that it's preliminary It was determined that Yuriko's death time was yesterday, that is, after six o'clock in the evening on Saturday. But the time I left the villa was before six o'clock in the evening, and Yuriko was indeed still alive at that time. I took the bus from Karuizawa at 6:30 I got on the down train and arrived in Nagano at 8:30, staying at a hotel called 'Fujiya' near the station. If you still have doubts, you can send someone to investigate."

Aono narrated his whereabouts yesterday in a mocking manner, his defense was full of confidence, and Kosuke Kindaichi's complexion became uglier from moment to moment. Yesterday morning, when Matsushiro Tokiwa arrived at the villa, he did see the woman dead. It can be speculated that the person who stuck her to death also thought he was dead.However, Aono said that when she arrived at the villa at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Yuriko was still alive and kicking, and she told the time of the dead body's death, so it cannot be considered fraudulent. Based on this, it can be inferred that the woman did not really die on Saturday morning, but was in a coma, so both the murderer and Mrs. Matsushiro mistakenly believed that she was dead.On Saturday night, she was stuck to death again, and this time she was truly dead.

Thinking of this, Kōsuke Kindaichi's heart ached like a thorn in the bell. For this ironic mistake, his heart felt like a stone was pressing on him, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.He had always stubbornly believed that it was Pine who killed the woman by mistake, but after hearing Aono's confession, he realized that it should be another person who really killed Yuriko. Kosuke Kindaichi was tired of Aoyano's chattering narration, he knew that Aoyano must have heard from Yuriko that she was stuck to death last night.Nevertheless, he left Yuriko alone in the villa and went to Nagano by himself.This is a very vicious conspiracy. He thinks that the person who killed Yuriko will come again, so he let Yuriko stay and ambush the man in order to carry out greater blackmail and extort money. It is better for him to stay away from the scene... Unfortunately Yes, the person who fell into the trap is not the person they expected...

Kosuke Kindazu staggered out of the interrogation room, and more than two hours later, Dr. F, a well-known forensic doctor, sent a test report, which confirmed that Aono's confession was reliable.
