Chapter 31 8. Man in windbreaker

Mitsuki Shunsuke, Miko Shibasumi and other police officers went to the Komagata apartment together. The fireworks show was over, and it was raining heavily along the way. It was also at this time that the phantom monster took the beautiful boy and took several taxis to the hideout. The old man Yajima's room in Komagata Apartment was full of criminal police, who were collecting evidence one by one. According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, the old man Yajima was pierced through the left lung with a sharp blade from the back and died on the spot. "Tonight is a fireworks display, and the sound of fireworks exploding is everywhere. Even if the victim calls for help, the outside of the room cannot hear it."

"And all the people in this apartment went to the roof to watch the fireworks. For the murderer, this is the best time to kill." After listening to the report of the criminal police officers, Waiting Li immediately said: "Then the Okumura family who raised that tabby cat is..." "The husband of the Okumura family is a car driver, and his wife works as a hostess at a movie theater in Asakusa. At that time, both husband and wife went to work, and only 12-year-old Hanako was at home. Hanako usually looks after the house alone, because she feels lonely, so I did it. I raised the cat Mimi."

"Have the Okumuras returned?" "The husband hasn't come back yet, the wife has just come back." "Is Hanako asleep?" "She was emotional because of what happened tonight. She was walking up and down the corridor just now. After her mother came back, she seemed to be called back to sleep... Do you want to ask?" "Will she be too pitiful like this... um... It's better to go and call her, but if she's already asleep, then forget it." "yes." "Wait a minute, don't take her to this room, take her to the administrator's reception room!"

Officer Waitori, Toshisuke Mitsuki and Okoshiba came in and waited in the reception room. Not long after, Mrs. Okumura came in with Hanako, who was still holding the tabby cat in her arms. "Mrs. Okumura, are you already asleep?" "No, I'm too scared to sleep, and she's too excited..." "Yeah! That kind of thing happened next door." "Excuse me, what do you want to ask the child..." "Hanako, what uncle asked you about, you should tell uncle what you think of, okay? Did you see someone going to Grandpa Yajima's room next door tonight?"

"Well, I saw it." "Did you see that? What time was that?" "It's exactly eight o'clock." "Hanako, why do you remember so clearly?" "Because I was doing my homework until eight o'clock! Later, at eight o'clock, I wanted to watch the fireworks. As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw a boy standing in front of Grandpa Yajima's room." "What kind of person do you see? Is it a big brother who is seventeen or eighteen years old?" "No, he's a little older. But he's wearing a windbreaker with his collar turned up, and his hat is very low, so you can't see his face clearly."

That being said, besides the beautiful boy, there was another guest in the old man Yajima's room tonight. "What happened to the man in the windbreaker?" "He walked into Grandpa Yajima's room." "Grandpa Yajima opened the door from the inside and let him in?" "That's right! When I passed by his door, Grandpa Yajima yelled again!" "Is Grandpa Yajima surprised?" "It seems to be! Then..." "And then...then what else?" "Yes! About half an hour later, when I got down from the top, there was a big brother who was seventeen or eighteen years old standing in front of Grandpa Yajima's room."

"Did that brother go into the room too?" "I... I don't know about this. I was already home at that time, but Grandpa Yajima's alarm clock rang, so I knew it was half past eight." "Has Grandpa Yajima set the alarm clock to half past eight?" "That's right! Grandpa Yajima stops working at 8:30. He will go out to drink and then come back to sleep, right? Mom." "Yes, this child is right. Grandpa always said that the happiest thing in life is to drink some wine before going to bed..." Old man Yajima was killed by a man in a trench coat who came at eight o'clock?Or the pretty boy at 8:30?Also, who is that man in the windbreaker?What is the identity of the mysterious boy?
