Chapter 19 Section 3

"How is the little girl?" Officer Tamiya, who was questioning Yosuke, asked Officer Sanada who came out of Miyuki's room.Both of them are detectives from the First Investigation Section.Unlike Sanada, Tamiya is a little thinner and has more prominent cheekbones, which makes people feel a little uncoordinated.Because she always seemed to be staring at her eyes, which made people feel a little scary, so she felt that it was not suitable to ask a girl in the first year of high school, so she let Sanada go alone. "It was past one o'clock when my sister left home... what I said is more consistent."

After hearing Sanada's report, Tamiya nodded. "The time of the murder was around two o'clock. During this period, only Mrs. Taeko was at home. The prisoner calculated the time correctly." "It's not money killing, is it?" "No," said Tamiya. "There is no sign that the room has been turned over. In fact, nothing seems to be missing." "You weren't raped either?" "No. The rest is vendetta or love." "How is her relationship with her husband?" Sanada lowered her voice. "Come back at half past two, but can you prove it?"

"Well, there are witnesses to that point." Tamiya told the younger detectives that the victim Taeko's sister could be a witness.However, because the person involved, Noriko Otsuka, is not at home, this matter has not been confirmed. "Is that Taeko's sister?" Sanada asked with suspicion in his eyes. "That goes without saying, but the relationship between the sisters still needs to be investigated." "It's a bit of a coincidence to say that it happened by chance." "But you can't suspect him on this alone. Come with me."

Tamiya took Sanada to Yasaba's neighbor's house.Although it is slightly smaller than Changjia, it has a parking lot that can park two cars. The one who came out of the entrance was a slightly fat middle-aged woman, and at a glance, she was the kind of woman who likes to talk and meddle in other people's business.Obviously she already knew about this case, so after Tamiya and the others reported their names, she eagerly asked the criminal police what question they had. "According to Mr. Chang, he called your house at one past two o'clock, didn't he?" Tamiya wanted to confirm Yangsuke's words.The neighbor nodded vigorously.

"He did call. He asked me to take a look at his house, so I went up to the second floor of my house to have a look." "So, at that time, did you think there was no one in his family?" Tamiya asked. "Hey, I don't think there is anyone..." At this time, the neighbor's two hands were held together for a while, and then separated for a while, looking a little awkward, and it seemed that he was hesitant to speak, but in fact, it made people feel that he was eagerly waiting to be questioned. "What's matter?" Tamiya asked eagerly just as she expected.

"Well, since it's Mr. Police, I'll just say it straight." She raised her head as if she had made up her mind. "There's a man who seems to be a salesman or something hanging around the door." "A man?" Tamiya suddenly became nervous, "What kind of man is it?" Hearing the senior detective's question, Sanada hastily took out the notepad. "Well, he is a tall, thin man in his forties. He has long hair and a high nose. He is a well-proportioned man. He wears a new and neat navy blue suit and carries a large backpack. It looks like a travel bag. Like a bag."

"Is it... a handbag?" Tamiya tilted her head slightly and asked. "What happened to that man?" "Ah, if you don't pay attention, it will disappear." "Such a man." The detectives thanked the housewife and came out. Tamiya and the others returned to the Chang's house, and Noriko Otsuka, the sister of the victim Taeko, came.They met in the living room of Di Chang's house. Dianzi is a neat woman in her thirties.Although she is somewhat similar to her elder sister, her younger sister looks prettier, and she can be said to be a beautiful woman.Except for the red eye circles, there is not much panic.It was just that her hands were tightly clutching the handkerchief, which attracted Tamiya for some reason.

Tamiya first asked her what clues she had about Taeko's murder, such as her sister's recent words and deeds and social situations. But Dianzi's answer is of no reference value to the criminal police.Because she hasn't seen her sister much recently. "You seem to have gone out today?" After asking the above question, Tamiya asked again, "Then where have you been?" "I just went shopping on the street." Dianzi said in a very flat tone, "then went home, and then went to a nearby store." "Are you going shopping alone?" "I went shopping alone. But when I came back, I ran into my brother-in-law, Ba Yangsuke, so he drove me home by car."

Tamiya quickly looked at Sanada at the side, and asked, "What time did you meet Mr. Chang?" Dianzi tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "I think it was after two o'clock." "Did you go straight home?" She said "no" to this and seemed to be thinking about something. "My brother-in-law first called home and then sent me home." "Indeed. Oh, thank you very much for your cooperation." The detectives nodded their thanks to her.
