Chapter 22 Chapter Four

"Now the truth has come to light. There is a woman who is 150 centimeters tall and has beautiful long black hair—" the Kazesai Police Department asserted while operating the steering wheel with brisk gestures and driving the car in the direction of Kokubunji Temple. "The prisoner is Morino Chizuru. It can't be wrong. Right? Hosho!" "..." Unfortunately, as long as the Fengsai Police Department says "can't be wrong", in most cases it is a "big mistake".Reiko, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was full of unease. Was the woman in the secretary class really the one who killed Nozaki?

"If Morino Chizuru is the prisoner, why did she take off Nozaki's clothes and make him naked? I don't think Morino Chizuru has a reason to do this." "Regarding this point, Dai Xiangmiao's opinion seems to be on point. That is to say, before the two had sex, or during the process, the tragedy happened. I think it's probably because Nozaki was too addicted to sex that he didn't want to Be careful to call Morino Chizuru by the wrong name. It might be Eri, Ayara, or Kanae. Men who cheat usually show their feet in this kind of place. It must be correct."

"I see. As expected of the police department, your opinion is very convincing—could it be from your own personal experience?" "That's not it!" The voice of the police department suddenly became louder, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to get away with it. "Okay, in that case, we have to go back to Kokubunji as soon as possible. We must find the evidence left by Chizuru Morino at the scene of the crime." The Fengji Police Department stepped on the accelerator hard, allowing the car to speed up in one breath. Soon after the two policemen returned to the "Heights Musashino" apartment, they immediately took the elevator to the fifth floor.However, at the moment they bent the S-shaped corridor and headed towards the room at the scene, an unexpected obstacle blocked the two of them—"Bang!"

The Fengji police department was bounced back by the huge fleshy wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he fell down and sat on the corridor.Reiko flashed at the critical moment, and quickly looked up at the huge body that bounced off the police department.It was a very large young man.If he was walking around the Ryogoku Kokugikan in a yukata, people would mistake him for a very high-ranked sumo wrestler. "Who are you? Are you a resident of this floor? I haven't seen you this morning." "Yeah. Who are you guys? Ah, could it be the criminal police? I heard that there was a murder in room 504. I just woke up now, and I was really shocked when I heard the news. "

The man's acorn-like round eyes were full of curiosity.While patting the buttocks of the high-end suit, the police department of Kazesai stood up and cast a resentful look at the man in front of him. "It's a strange guy to wake up at this hour—what's your name and occupation?" As if to avenge the one who was bumped, the Fengji Police Department suddenly showed its authority and interrogated.It's too much of an abuse of power. But the man answered honestly without any resistance.His name is Sugihara Satoshi.It is said that the occupation is a mystery novel writer.

Oh, mystery writer, what kind of works does this person write?Is it very famous?Reiko was interested in this, but the Kazesai Police Department originally only asked the question to provoke the other party, so they didn't ask any more about this aspect.He just put on an intimidating attitude when facing criminals, and asked in a cross-examination tone on his own. "Do you know the resident of 504? Have you seen him recently?" As a result, Sugihara Satoshi spit out an unexpected answer. "I don't know if that's the resident of Room 504, but I did meet a strange young woman."

The police department and Reiko couldn't help looking at each other. "You said?", "Meet a young woman?" "Ah, yes. It was about 8:30 last night. When I came back from the convenience store and was walking in the corridor, the door of Room 504 just opened, and a young woman walked out of it. The woman Wearing baggy jeans and a baggy long-sleeve shirt, she was very scruffy. If I remember correctly, she was holding a large paper bag. She seemed to be in a panic. And He was wearing a hat with a wide brim to press his face, and he was walking with his head down, so he probably couldn't see the front clearly, and he almost ran into me."

"Hey, that's not the resident of Room 504! That's the murderer!" From the point of view of time, the mysterious woman that Sugihara Satoshi ran into was probably the prisoner who was about to flee the scene.This is also confirmed by the woman's taboo against other people's eyes.The paper bag in his hand probably contained the clothes that had been taken off the victim. "Did you see the face? How long is that woman's hair?" The police couldn't hide their excitement. "No, I can't see the face very clearly. It's covered by the hat. And if you look at the other person too blatantly, you will definitely be regarded as a pervert."

"It doesn't matter if you look at it blatantly! At most, you will be regarded as a pervert, so why care about it!" I don't know if it was because of the excessive excitement, the police department's speech became incoherent. "What about height? When you met that woman, wasn't the distance between the two of you so close that you almost collided? How tall is that woman? Is it that tall?" After saying this, the police department put their raised palms under the neck of the strong man in front of them.That height is about 150 centimeters or so.In this way, the matter can be resolved in one fell swoop—the Kazesai Police Department, with such expectations, vigorously questioned the man.But in front of his eyes, Sugihara Satoshi shook his head as if shaking his huge body.

"No, it's not that short. That woman should be around my height." After saying that, the man put his raised palms on the center of his face.For a moment, the police department was stunned.The height pointed out by Satoshi Sugihara is more than 20 centimeters higher than the one indicated by the police department.That is, the level of 170 centimeters.For a woman, it is quite tall. Of the suspects in the incident, only one was a woman of matching height.That was the victim's childhood sweetheart, a migrant worker who aspired to become an actor.The Fengji Police Department did not hesitate to call out her name.

"Aya Saito—it really is that guy! Just as I thought!" You obviously don't think so...
