Chapter 4 Chapter two

Junping left the motorcycle in the tea house, and took a pure white MGB car to the dinner venue of the Imperial Hotel.A white convertible car, a pure white evening dress——Junping in the passenger seat felt his own insignificance, so he picked up the newspaper and read it. The case itself is actually very commonplace. Baidu Sally was found strangled to death in her own house in a high-end building in Hamamatsucho three days ago, before midnight.The discoverers were the painter next door and the woman in charge of the building—it is said that they arrived when they heard something crack. The corpse lay lying in the middle of the passage from the entrance to the kitchen.Because the explosion sound was the pot on the gas stove scorched and broken due to lack of water, it is speculated that she was killed while cooking.

The murder weapon was common nylon pantyhose.It is speculated that the time of death was between four o'clock and six o'clock in the afternoon that day.Not only did the murderer leave no fingerprints or other traces, but no one at the time of the crime witnessed any suspicious persons entering or exiting Sally's house. Sally's smile was reflected on the newspaper page. She was indeed beautiful, but unlike her pretended smile, her smile was artificially indifferent. "So, what's the alibi for the well?" "It's like this..." Pretender began to explain.

Reiji Isou went to Osaka three days ago for the first fashion show of "Black Romantic" held at Niseko Stadium in Osaka. On the day of the clothing show, that is, the day when the incident occurred, he was busy rehearsing and rehearsing at the stadium, and appeared at the clothing store he operated in Umeda at 3:30. It was only called staying there, and then he left immediately, until he boarded the helicopter from Osaka Airport at 7:15 in the afternoon. During the period of more than three hours, no one saw him in Osaka City. When the fashion show ended at around 7:40, the helicopter that Jing was on landed in the middle of the stage to say hello to the 20,000 female audience.

The helicopter pilot confirmed that it was indeed 7:15 when he boarded the plane. "Approximately how long did he stay in the store in Umeda?" "I heard it was five or six minutes." "So, the period of about three hours and forty-five minutes from 3:30 to 7:15 is blank!" Jun Ping stroked his wind-blown hair. "Yeah! Reiji claimed that during this time, he was preparing for the makeup for the evening fashion show in the apartment he borrowed from Nakanoshima." "This blank time is about the same as the time when Sally was killed in Tokyo, it's really suspicious!"

"That's right! So the police need to investigate thoroughly, and I also want to check it out—it takes more than six hours to travel by Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka, so the only possibility is to take a plane." Zhuozi said. "The one-way flight between Tokyo and Osaka takes exactly one hour?" Junping asked. "Yes!" Pretender nodded. "Then it takes two hours to go back and forth - if there are three hours and forty-five minutes, it is enough to commit crimes. It seems possible to commit crimes in the well cracks!" "Wrong! Look at the flight schedule."

While the sound of the siren fell silent, Shizi took out a piece of paper from the bag.It says: Depart from Osaka 16:05→17:05 Arrive in Tokyo Depart from Tokyo 18:15→19:15 Arrive in Tokyo "Is it ok? Isuke left Umeda's store at 3:15, and then rushed to Osaka Airport, just to take the flight at 4:50. I took this plane to Tokyo at 5:50 to go to and from the Hamamatsucho incident." It takes an hour to arrive at the scene, and when I get back, I can catch the flight departing from Tokyo at 6:15!" "The shift before 6:15?" "There's only a flight leaving at four o'clock. There's no way for Rei to get from Tokyo to Osaka except to take the plane that leaves at 6:15, and the time for this flight to arrive in Osaka is—"

"Fifteen past seven." "Exactly, according to the flight attendant's certificate, the plane arrived at the scheduled time that day, and it was exactly 7:15 when the cabin door was opened. But the time Li Ci boarded the helicopter also happened to be 7:15!" While boarding the helicopter, the well will confirm the time to the driver. It is said that the time on the driver's watch was within five seconds of 7:15. "But, the helicopter and the plane were parked at the same airport, right?" "Yes! But the distance between the two is about 800 meters. It takes two minutes to run at the fastest speed!"

"Indeed, the key lies in the two-minute gap, the undecipherable alibi—that is to say, we should think about how to run to a distance of 800 meters while the cabin door is open." "But there is such a method?" "There must be. It's just a difference of two minutes. There must be blind spots of omissions." Junping said with his arms crossed, as if he suddenly remembered something. "Pretend, you can't provide an alibi, so you were in Tokyo that day?" "Yes, I was on vacation that day and went to see a movie. This seems to be the worst perjury presented by the real murderer, which even I can't believe. But I was in the movie theater that evening!"

"A famous person like you seems to be able to find witnesses among the ticket cutters or the audience!" "Unfortunately, I hate being spied on by nature, so whenever I have something to go out, I must disguise myself." "Changed makeup? Even put on sunglasses?" "It's not the simple disguise technique. It's more powerful, the kind that no one can recognize." "What does it look like after disguise?" Jun Ping, who was interested in this and wanted to ask the truth, suddenly turned his attention to the sign erected on the overpass in front of him.There is a sign to turn right towards Hamamatsucho.

"The crime scene is near here, right? Do you have time to take a detour?" Pretend to glance at his watch: "It doesn't matter if you're late for the banquet, but—" He seemed to want to say something, but turned the steering wheel and drove to the right without saying anything.
