Chapter 32 Chapter Six

"By the way, that woman..." Kosuke Kindaichi turned his eyes from the strange back of Matsuhiko, who was hunched over the forest, to Assistant Police Officer Okada. "Ah, this way please." While talking, the plainclothes policeman in the bungalow had already set up two pairs of slippers. In addition to the kitchen and toilet, this bungalow has only a hall that doubles as a dining room, living room and reception room, and a bedroom.The bedroom seems to have become a melting pot of perfume. Although the police officer Waiting Li had no sense of the strong perfume smell before, but the moment he stepped into the bedroom, "This, this..." He still couldn't help covering his nose with a handkerchief, and took a few steps back.The strong, pungent aroma filled the entire room, and Kosuke Kindaichi was almost choked out of breath.But once you get used to it, it's not that scary.

There was a man in a shirt in the room, who was sitting on a chair with his head folded. After Kosuke Kindaichi and Officer Waitori entered, he immediately raised his head reflexively, and shot the two of them with hostile eyes. "This is..." Kosuke Kindaichi was taken aback, and turned his head towards Assistant Police Officer Okada. "He is Mr. Aono, the owner of this villa." "The owner of this villa..." "He died on that bed... No, the husband of the murdered woman..." For a moment, Officer Waitori groaned again, and Kosuke Kindaichi couldn't help turning to him.

Waiting for the force officer to meet his suspicious gaze, he coughed a few times, and said: "That is to say, Song Shu is with someone else's wife... Tsk tsk, look at this incident..." Waiting for power, the police officer was ambiguous while shaking his head frequently. Kosuke Kindaichi stared at the police officer's face for a while, and after a while, he shifted his gaze to the bed. It was a rough room with eight tatami mats and a wooden floor. There was a solid double bed fixed inside, with a woman lying on her back.The woman was wearing gorgeous pajamas that looked like the hanging pine tree opposite, and she also exuded a strong smell, but Kosuke Kindaichi had long since gotten used to it.

The woman was clearly strangled to death by strong hands, and the two clear thumb prints left near the throat are showing this. If it is the kind of person who believes it is true without thinking about it, after seeing this scene, I am afraid that he will immediately make the following judgment: either after the two have discussed it, or under the coercion of the man, the man kills the woman first, and then kills the woman on the opposite side. Hanging on the balcony... Right now, the rope the man hanged on, the toweling fabric robe it belonged to, is just thrown there. Even so, Tokiwa Matsuyo said it was a homicide, she was very confident and convincing.Is this just a wishful judgment based on Pine Tree's usual behavior and personality, or does she have conclusive evidence that she is definitely a homicide?Moreover, if it was homicide, she seemed worried that the murderer was among her close relatives...

Kindaichi Kosuke suddenly remembered the bizarre behavior of that young man named Matsuhiko just now, and couldn't help sighing secretly. "By the way, Director!..." Kosuke Kindaichi turned his head towards Assistant Police Officer Okada and said, "Who discovered this case?" "It's Mr. Aono over there..." "Really?..." Kosuke Kindaichi turned his head after hearing the news, "Then, Mr. Aono, I have a few words to ask you. It's not convenient here, can you come to the next hall?" Aono silently stared at Kindaichi Kosuke's disheveled hair with strange eyes. After a while, he stood up slowly, hugged his wife's cold corpse reluctantly, kissed his lips, and then directly touched his face. Posted it up, as if whispering to her...

Kosuke Kindaichi took this opportunity to look at the couple again.His first impression was that there was a huge age difference between the couple.Although the man was very handsome, judging from his half-bald forehead, he was probably over forty years old. In contrast, women are at most twenty-six or seventeen years old.Because she was wearing terry pajamas, the lines of her body could not be seen, but she was definitely a woman with a graceful figure.Her face, too, is covered with a beautiful shadow, revealing a sentimental beauty, which reminds people of fragile glass crafts.Looking at the slender eyebrows and thick lipstick, she doesn't look like a pure woman from a good family.

The man finally put down the woman's body, so Kindaichi Kosuke urged the police officer Waitori to come outside from the bedroom. In the hall outside the bedroom, there is also a fixed square table. Around the table, there are four lacquered and carved wooden chairs from Kamakura, and there are two rattan easy chairs. When Kosuke Kanedaichi and Officer Waitori came out of the bedroom, Uehara Shotoshiro was helping the police to lower the hollow body of Viridian Pine from the beam.Probably Matsushiro Junjo, a blanket had already been laid out on the balcony, and when the corpse of Pine Pine was placed on the blanket, Uehara Shotoshiro was sobbing non-stop, which was impressive.

"Director, please ask Mr. Aono again, and I'll listen in here too." "Okay." The search director Okada agreed, and took out a notepad from his pocket. "This gentleman calls himself Taiichiro Aono, aged forty-two, and lives in Denenchofu, Tokyo. He has an office in Hakko Building in Shibata Village, and works as a broker. His wife's name is Yuriko, and she is twenty Six years old. Also, this villa is not owned by Mr. Aono himself. It is said that he rented it from the landlord for only one summer. Because of these things, all these things are arranged by the wife alone. Specifically, from whom and who? How to rent this villa, Mr. Qingye said that he did not know. I heard that Madam came here since July 20th, and Mr. Qingye came here on weekends every week. The above is almost the current situation, then , Mr. Aono, please tell me what you discovered this morning."

Taiichiro Aono stood up sometimes, and sometimes sat down, looking uneasy. He frowned in surprise when Assistant Police Officer Okada urged him like this. "These two are..." "This is Mr. Kosuke Kindaichi, who is very famous in criminal investigations. The grandmother of the young man suspected of dying in love has also entrusted him to investigate this case. Also, this one is..." However, before he could finish speaking, the police officer Waituli immediately stopped him and said, "Ah, I am equivalent to Mr. Kindaichi's student or assistant, and I am not worth introducing."

After speaking, he nodded respectfully and moved the chair to the farthest side of the hall.Assistant Police Officer Okada couldn't help but look at Kosuke Kindaichi. "I see." Kosuke Kindaichi winked at Assistant Police Officer Okada and said, "Mr. Aono, please tell me what happened this morning." "This..." Aono still stared at Kosuke Kaneda with suspicion, and said, "Actually, what happened this morning is not a big deal. When I came here around eleven o'clock, it was already like this. I was stunned at the time." , so I asked the salesman who happened to come here to call the police."

"So it is. But today is Sunday, why didn't you come yesterday?" "Of course, I originally planned to come yesterday. But I heard from the radio that due to landslides, the Shin-Etsu Line was partially suspended, so I checked with Ueno Station, and the other party replied that it would take one night to resume traffic, so I decided Postponed by a day." "Oh, then you said you arrived here around eleven o'clock, which means you left early today?" "I set off from Ueno at 5:50 and arrived in Nakakaruizawa at 10:30. I'm afraid Yuriko will be worried..." "It's human nature." Kindaichi Kosuke showed sympathy, and then said, "By the way, you just said that, and you were dumbfounded. Before that, did you know anything about that young man?" "No, I don't know at all...Well, after all, Yuriko used to be that kind of person, she seems to have a lot of male friends, but those are all fair and aboveboard interactions, like the kind of things that are done without telling me, it won't be... "Aono Taiichiro said hesitantly, "Ah, at least until this morning, I have always believed so." "You just said, 'After all, it was that kind of status before', what did your wife do before?" "It's a dancer who accompanies guests in the ballroom. But she hasn't become very popular in that area, because her body is not very good..." "When did you get married?" "The year before last." Aono Taiichiro said with a wry smile. "May I ask, are you officially married?" "In the beginning it was a concubine relationship. However, because I also felt that I couldn't leave Yuriko, I officially registered it later." "What you said later was..." Aono Taiichiro raised his shoulders and glared at Kosuke Kindaichi, but he still said helplessly, "It's the beginning of July this year." "Really? That's recent?" Kosuke Kindaichi prevaricated, and turned his attention to the police officer Waitori.The police officer smiled and winked at him, because the police officer knew Taiichiro Aono. "So, what do you think about this?..." Kosuke Kinda looked sideways at Taiichiro Aono and asked mysteriously, "Can this case be regarded as an ordinary death for love? Or..." Aono Taiichiro's eyes suddenly became serious. "Maybe it was love. However, even if it was love, it didn't look like the kind of love that both parties agreed to. Yuriko is not the kind of woman who wants to die casually. So, if it is love, it must be coercion. , was coerced by that little boy..." Saying that, Aono Taiichiro turned his eyes full of hatred to the balcony. "He must have strangled Yuriko to death, and then hanged himself again!..." Aono Taiichiro said viciously.
