Chapter 22 21. Stories on TV

After leaving Mr. Iwamura's house, Mr. S and I turned into the commercial street back to the station.In the home appliance store facing the street, a TV series is playing.I didn't care to watch, and walked forward with my head down. "Master Taoist, look quickly. That man is also called Taoist!" Mr. S suddenly yelled at me in the bottle. I looked down, and at some point Mr. S emerged from the bottle and was staring at the TV. Seeing his excited expression, I turned my head and looked into the glass window.A handsome man is talking on TV, and sitting opposite him is a beautiful and seemingly very intelligent woman.I lost interest in my heart: "There is nothing to see here."

"You might be interested in watching it." S winked at me mysteriously. I was puzzled and turned my head again. For some reason, the handsome man had strangled the woman's neck with a red scarf, and the dazzling red scarf was being tightened little by little. "Kill?" I couldn't help exclaiming. "She is really a poor person." Mr. S murmured in the bottle.I turned my head, and the woman on the screen seemed to have no intention of struggling, her eyes were fixed on the man's face. "Dorfu, I love you, I love you, I am...". The man's hand didn't mean to relax at all, and his eyes suddenly made me feel very scary.I suddenly wondered what happened next.

"Dao Fu, Dao Fu!" Mr. S called my name in the bottle. I regained my composure: "What's wrong?" "No, nothing." Mr. S hesitated.I turned my head away and continued watching TV.The protagonists in the screen have become a group of uniformed police officers. "The name of the deceased is Sachiko Edamura. She is the owner of this house, and she is the beautician Michio Sayama's fiancée." "Sayama's fiancée? The suspect in the Hatano case?" A policeman asked the investigator who was reading the documents. "yes." "Ask him right away." The face of the handsome man became the main character on the screen again. "I was in the manager's office of the beauty salon when the crime happened. Ah!" The man seemed to suddenly recall something, "Miss Fudi came to interview me at that time, and she can testify for me." The protagonist on the screen was replaced by a beautiful woman. "Mr. Sayama and I have made an appointment a long time ago, and we will come to him for an exclusive interview at 7 pm."

"7:20, where are you?" It was a middle-aged police officer with a serious face who asked. "Drinking tea in the manager's room, because Mr. Sayama hadn't finished his work when I came, so I waited for him for a while." The woman named Fukuchi tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying. "So, you were not together at that time?" The middle-aged police officer asked aggressively. "Well, although I can't see him, he is in the manager's office. I have been talking to him." The woman named Fudi replied.The middle-aged police officer exchanged glances with his companion. "We got it, thank you Miss Fudi for your cooperation."

The protagonists were replaced by uniformed police officers again. "Although Fukuji Fujiko claimed to be talking to Michio Sayama at 7:20, it cannot be ruled out that he used a telephone or a tape recorder because of the separation of the door." "Fu said that Sayama picked her up at seven o'clock and brought her into the manager's office. Although the two of them didn't always sit face to face, it was half an hour's journey from the crime scene to the beauty salon. Judging from the time, if she was planted at seven o'clock If Sayama was still in the beauty salon, then Zhicun, who died at 7:20, could not have been killed by him."

I was a little confused: "Mr. S, why did that woman named Fudi lie?" "That woman named Zhicun is really pitiful." Mr. S replied that the question was not the answer. I stared at the screen and stopped talking. "Bando, what do you think?" an old man with gray hair asked. It was the middle-aged police officer with stern eyes who answered: "Emura must have been killed by Sayama. I always think that Sayama is a duplicity guy. Seven years ago, Rinko Aoyama from Destiny Mountain, and Masako Hatano from Aomori Prefecture two years ago, Sachiko Edamura and this time were both killed by him. He is a complete liar, a mercenary, and a villain who never cares about others." Speaking of this, I saw the uncle's angry eyes.

"But Fujiko Fukuji's testimony..." The gray-haired old police officer was a little worried. "I'll go talk to Fudi again." Officer Bando was very firm.The protagonist of the screen changed again, and the beautiful lady named Fudi appeared on the screen again. "As I said, I was talking to Mr. Sayama at the time." "No, I'm not here to ask those questions." The uncle named Bando said with a smile. "Then I have nothing to say." Fujiko Fukuchi looked impatient. "Miss Fukuchi, I'm here to tell you a few things. These things are related to Mr. Michio Sayama. I think you will be interested to hear."

Fujiko Fukuchi sat back in her seat: "Then please speak quickly." Bando police officer smiled: "Seven years ago, a murder occurred in Tianming Mountain, Aomori County. The deceased was a 21-year-old young woman named Rinko Aoyama. At that time, she was three months pregnant. After investigation, he Her boyfriend resigned after her death and her whereabouts are unknown. Two years ago in Aomori Prefecture, the wife of a major securities firm, Masako Hatano, was hanged in the woods. After investigation, Masako Hatano had an affair behind her husband’s back, and she borrowed a large sum of money to someone, so while the suicide note was found, we believe she was killed by someone."

Fujiko Fukuchi smiled contemptuously: "So?" Officer Bando suddenly became serious: "The suspects related to these two cases are..." "Mr. Sayama?" Fujiko Fukuchi took the conversation. "Yes, and the deceased in this case..." "Sachiko is Mr. Sayama's fiancée, I know that." Fujiko Fukuchi smiled, "What does this mean?" "I want to know if Mr. Sayama was really in the manager's office at 7:20 on the day when the incident happened?" Officer Bando asked. "Join me in the manager's office, I've said that many times."

"Miss Fukuchi, what I want to tell you now is that as a woman, it is better to live with dignity. Sachiko Edamura is the best example. We are leaving." Officer Bando waved at the officer who came with him. As soon as the picture turned, Fujiko Fukuchi was the only one left beside the table. She stood up and murmured, "Women's things, what's the use of those things...." "Enough!" Mr. S's voice pulled my thoughts out of the TV. "What's wrong?" I looked at the mouth of the bottle in surprise. "Enough, enough. Let's go, Meixiang is still waiting for us." Mr. S's voice seemed to be afraid, but also like begging.

I nodded, glanced at Fudi's back on TV, and turned to look for Meixiang.
