Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Vertical dead angle

When Kikuroichi heard the news of Osawa's murder, he suddenly shuddered for some reason. "As expected!" He felt that the sense of ominousness that had arisen in his heart had finally been confirmed.Although he didn't have a very clear premonition of Osawa's death, he had a vague sense of unease. So why the uneasiness?Hirohide Osawa is a privileged class who decides his future destiny in the Inohara Hotel.It is precisely because of this that Mu Mu believes that Osawa's death should not be regarded as other people's business.However, he also felt that he was not mourning or regretting the accidental death of the sponsor, but was afraid of whether Daze's death would have anything to do with him.

— What a wild guess!What does Mr. Osawa's death have to do with me! Mu Mu wanted to dispel this vague sense of terror.But the opposite happened, and this terror made him more and more uneasy. "You've been a little weird these days! Has something happened in the company?" His wife asked worriedly. "nothing!" That being said, the eyes are often absent-mindedly looking at the ceiling and wistful.It's the same in the company, and I often make mistakes when I work.This not only aroused the dissatisfaction of the section chief, but also drew contemptuous eyes from his subordinates.

"Surely you got a beautiful woman behind my back?" The wife couldn't help but have unwarranted suspicions. "Bastard! What's the matter!" Mu Mu loudly reprimanded.His wife's doubtful eyes grew sharper.The relationship between the husband and wife suddenly became tense with Osawa's death. ——Where did this sense of terror come from? Mu Mu couldn't bear this kind of mental torture anymore, and decided to find out the root of the depression in his heart.He began to concentrate on analyzing things in order to find out the cause of this uneasy feeling.

——I accidentally discovered the suspicious relationship between Osawa and the manager's wife. Although they were not found at the scene, it can be concluded that Osawa and the manager's wife were indulging in improper affairs in that hotel. ——Does this have nothing to do with the current murder case? Mu Mu naturally connected Osawa's death with the "secret" between Osawa and the manager's wife that he spied a week ago. Not only is it related, but it is of great importance. ——If Manager Inohara noticed this, he would definitely be furious.If the manager loves his wife very much, he must have a deep hatred for the person who possesses his wife.And if he knew that the other party was the secretary he had taken special care of before, he would add fuel to the fire and become furious.

Doesn't this constitute what the police call the "motive for committing the crime"? —Constituted, enough constituted. But what does this motivation have to do with our own sense of terror? Here, Mu Mu asked and answered his brain for an hour, and his train of thought suddenly stopped.He was not good at thinking about problems, so he asked himself to concentrate on thinking about one thing for a long time, which really drove the ducks to the shelves. The interrupted thinking suddenly became coherent again. ——Will a husband kill someone if he finds out that his wife has betrayed him?

It depends on how much the man loves his wife. ——But it is said that the manager and his wife were forced to marry according to their father's will, and the relationship between the two is not very good. Thinking like this is not mediocrity, Mu Mu tried hard to remember when this uncomfortable mood happened. Suddenly, he remembered a past event.On the day after Osawa's death, that incident suddenly appeared before him like a residual image on the retina. On the first night of the restaurant's opening, Mugure accepted Osawa's commission.Rather than accepting a commission, it is more like accepting an order.At that time, he didn't even think about such a simple question as "why did he do this?"

It's no wonder, for Mu Mu, his status has made him used to accepting everything.What's more, Osawa's commission belongs to Mu Mu's daily work.It was only after he completed Daze's commission that he learned that Su Liesen was pushed downstairs and fell to his death.Up to this moment, Mu Mu still didn't think about what Osawa ordered and the case of falling from the building. However, even so, he had some doubts about Daze's behavior.After he completed Daze's commission, Daze asked to keep the matter secret.He said: "In order not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, you have to take an attitude of indifference to this matter." Recalling these words, Mu Mu seemed to have been slapped on the cheek from behind.It suddenly occurred to him that this incident might have something to do with Su Lisen's murder!

It was not long after Su Liesen's death that Mu Mu learned that he would be promoted to acting section chief.He knew very well that this promotion to Daze helped a lot. For his sponsor, Mu Mu faithfully complied with Osawa's request.Rather than complying with the requirements, it is better to say that Mu Mu completely forgot about it. Now the sponsor was killed, and the murder happened the night after accepting the entrustment of his sponsor.Facing the successive quadruple killings, Mu Mu had to force himself to consider the complicated relationship between them. Is what Daze asked me to do that night related to Su Lisen's death?

——If there is a relationship, Osawa must be involved in the case. The fog that had previously obscured his vision was dispelled in an instant. As his thinking became clearer, Mu Mu suddenly felt that dark clouds appeared above his head, that thunder and lightning were about to strike, and a catastrophe was imminent.For criminals, the existence of Daze is dangerous, so if Daze is killed, then, is there no risk factor for criminals for what Daze ordered himself to do?If so, I will be the same as Daze... Thinking of this, Mu Mu couldn't help shivering. Mu Mu finally found the reason why he was terrified all day long after he learned the news of Osawa's murder.

Who is the murderer?A person appeared in Mu Mu's heart. Mu Mu, who has been cautious and indecisive all his life, resolutely decided to explain to the reconnaissance headquarters what Daze entrusted him to do.Otherwise, the murderer may get rid of himself, and at that time, it will be too late to regret.Besides, Daze, who ordered himself to keep his mouth shut, was dead. The two new testimonies provided by Muguxiong City have brought great opportunities to the work of the reconnaissance headquarters. One of them, in particular, played a decisive role in unraveling the mystery of the Sulesen case.

"What did you say? Is this true?!" Hearing Mu Mu's report, Nasu stared suspiciously: "Why didn't you say this earlier?" Mu Mu was frightened by Nasu's unrelenting questioning, he whispered: "Because I didn't expect this matter to be related to the case at the time." "Whether it's related or not is up to us to judge!" Nasu scolded loudly.If Mu Mu could provide this testimony earlier, the case may have a more gratifying breakthrough. Nasu even hated this collaborator who came here on purpose. The scouting headquarters immediately held a meeting. "The sensational facts are clear." Nasu revealed Mugure's testimony, and the audience was in an uproar. "What impact do you think the clues from this institute will have on the case?" Nasu's deep eyes were shining, and he looked around all the detectives.It was clear from his face that he had already found the answer, and that the purpose of the meeting was to test the soundness of his point of view. "So, at about 6:40 before Sulesen fell down the stairs, Mugure received a call from Osawa, ordering him to drive the truck with the sofa bed (purchased but not accepted) to the side of the sundries warehouse .” In order to better understand the meaning of the testimony, Yamaji repeated Nasu's words. "Yes. According to Mumu, it was shipped for acceptance on the same day, but due to insufficient manpower, we had to park the truck with the goods in the acceptance warehouse intact, and prepare to continue the acceptance inspection the next day." Nasu added. "Osawa instructed Mugure to drive the truck from the warehouse to the front of the pool where Su Lisen fell into, which means it was just under room 1617." "That's right." "However, when we got to the scene, there were no trucks there." "Someone drove away. Who drove away? Think about it, everyone, what is the significance of this car?" "Is the sofa bed stacked in the truck bed?" Hexi spoke. Nasu didn't say anything, just nodded. "That can act as a buffer!" "perhaps……" Several people said in unison.They seem to have finally grasped the clues to unravel the mystery of the crime scene. "Wait a minute, everyone thinks that a person jumped from the sixteenth floor onto the sofa bed, but isn't Suleysen dead now?" Shanlu objected.What was the point of risking his life by jumping off the stairs since Sulesen's body had indeed been found there? "Why did the sofa bed be transported to the site before Sulesen fell? I think there must be a mystery in it." Caochang flicked the cigarette ash, leaned forward and said. "What's the secret?" He Xi turned his face to the pasture. Caochang followed Hexi's words and said: "Before that, do you want to think about it, suppose you use the sofa bed as a cushion, and then jump off, so..." "Okay! Got it now." Crossing didn't wait for Caochang to finish speaking, he raised his head suddenly, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have stretched a lot.All the detectives turned their attention to crossing. "Assuming that someone jumped from the sixteenth floor onto the cushion, there must be a purpose for doing such a dangerous move-this is to pretend that Sulesen fell for others to see. The witnesses only saw someone fall. When I came downstairs, I couldn’t confirm that it was Su Lisen who fell. That is to say, the person who fell was not Su Lisen. However, what is the purpose of doing this?” Interpol Lin snatched Hengdu's words and continued, "It's to create an alibi for the murderer who pushed Su Lisen." "It seems that everyone understands." Nasu narrowed his eyes into a thin line and glanced to the left and then to the right in the thin line, watching everyone with satisfaction. The opinions of the detectives were completely consistent with his reasoning. "Kimomo moved the truck with the sofa bed to the scene before, but possibly after, the fall of Sulesen. It is very likely that the criminal pushed Suleisen down the stairs and escaped from the scene. A little later After a while, the accomplice deliberately jumped down the stairs in full view. The buffer placed at the bottom of the building is invisible to witnesses. Therefore, it can only be considered that Su Lisen fell, and Su Lisen did fall into the pool Because the blood is in a coagulated state, the exact time of death cannot be guessed. Then who jumped down the stairs instead of the criminal? There is only one person who is most suitable for this occasion." Nasu looked around at the policemen around him, and there was a look of understanding in everyone's eyes. "Yes, this man is Hirohide Osawa. Although no one saw him come out of the scene, he is no longer there. Neither we nor the hotel desk group think he is coming out of the scene when no one saw him. as we said before, disappeared strangely like a ghost. Now we understand that he jumped down the stairs in a way that no one can see, from the window like a bird. It was not difficult for him. He was the leader of the mountaineering team in his student days and was good at high performances. Besides, he is also an all-round athlete. Now we can draw the conclusion that he is He jumped off the building to shelter the prisoners, and the truck with the sofa bed was also driven back to the place where he jumped off." Nasu's tone gradually changed from conjecture to affirmation, which fully reflected his degree of confidence. "Can something like a sofa bed provide such a buffer for someone jumping from the sixteenth floor?" Murata raised a question. "I think it's okay to put several layers overlapping. Due to the terrain, the actual height is only eight layers. This can be confirmed again." "Then, why wasn't Suleysen found when he was pushed downstairs?" Murata continued to ask. "It is estimated that he was pushed down before the flashing cross was lit on the wall of the hotel. That side is the back of the hotel, and no one usually pays attention to it. Besides, there was no moon and no neon lights nearby, so no one would be seen at all. Fall down." "However, it is also a high-rise building in the middle of a big city anyway, and to push people down from there, you have to realize that you are in full view. In this way, instead of having Osawa play a dangerous 'stand-in' to hide To commit one's own crime, it is better to choose a safer and more reliable means of committing the crime. "There is another point. Even if Daze forced himself to play the role of jumping off the building, some witnesses confirmed that the person who fell into the arms seemed to be pushed down! Who pushed Daze down the stairs? Could it be An accomplice’s trick? If that’s the case, why is this trick necessary? If it is said that Osawa acted as a stuntman in order to cover up criminals, he should have pretended to commit suicide by jumping off a building!” "This, I don't know now. Can anyone answer Murata's question?" Nasu called the detectives for help, and as a result, silence took the place of an answer. However, even with Murata detective's doubts, it still broke the closed state of the original mystery of the scene.The thorniest question that remains now is who is the murderer? Another piece of testimony provided by Mu Mu also made the reconnaissance headquarters particularly excited.This not only gave the reconnaissance headquarters more grounds for inferring that there was an improper relationship between Mrs. Inohara and Osawa, but also quickly found the scene that had been out of control—a certain hotel in Meguro District.After investigating the hotel, it was proved that the two of them "rested" here twice a month. If Inohara learns about this, it is only natural that he has a motive for killing Osawa. But does this motive overlap with the motive of killing Sulesen's suspect in order to silence him?It cannot be said that there is no such possibility.But with regard to Su Liesen's case, according to the current investigation clues, it is somewhat reluctant to infer that the murder was due to a business conflict.Because objectively killing Su Lisen doesn't make much sense. In any case, according to Mugure's testimony and the current investigation, the proof that Inohara Xinghei was not at the scene in the Sulesen case actually no longer exists, and Inohara may have committed the crime, which cannot be ruled out anyway.Because Su Lisen was pushed downstairs before 6:50 (probably before 6:30 when the flashing cross was lit), so although Inohara Xinghei was in the restaurant in the opposite area around 6:50 However, it does not prove at all that he was not at the scene when Su Lisen fell from the building.It is entirely possible that Inohara pushed Sulesen downstairs, and then went to the restaurant to attend the reception as if nothing had happened.It takes only ten minutes from the hotel to the restaurant in Rongxin Building. From this point of view, the person who initially had an alibi was even more suspicious. Such a judgment seems to be valid, but the Nasu Police Department is very cautious about it. "Although Manager Inohara had the motive to kill Secretary Osawa, it is not certain that he was at the scene where Osawa was killed. Because Inohara was in Tokyo on the morning when Osawa's body was found in Osaka. In the case of Su Lisen's murder , although Inohara's alibi is no longer established, but the motive is very ambiguous. Moreover, since Osawa, the only one who holds the key to the case, has been killed, it feels imposing to designate Inohara as the murderer of Su Lisen It was Osawa who ordered Mugure to place the buffer. Whether it was Inohara's will or not is unknown. Now we can only actively cooperate with the Ibaraki Police Department to find out whether Inohara can produce an alibi in the case of Osawa's murder. prove." Nasu draws his conclusions very cautiously.
