Chapter 36 chapter Ten

From the evening until late at night, the policemen in Qingheze were extremely busy. The first is to find the whereabouts of Miyoko at the request of Uehara Shōsanrou.After an investigation, Miyoko had no sign of taking a train or bus at all, so the police determined that Miyoko was likely to commit suicide in the mountains of Karuizawa as she wrote in her suicide note. After the cooperation, a large-scale search of various mountains and mountains began. Then what shocked the Qingnianze police was that the subordinates of the police officer Waituli, the Shinnian Detective, hurried over from Tokyo.Detective Arai pointed out that Aono Taiichiro is a habitual criminal of marriage fraud, and that he took the downbound quasi-express train on Sunday morning, and he has already got two or three people to testify. Therefore, Assistant Police Officer Okada is very excited.

Aoyano was summoned immediately, and Kosuke Kanedaichi, police officers Todori and Arai criminal police conducted a severe interrogation. "You guys must have made a mistake, right?" Taiichiro Aono, who showed his true colors, played with his natural thick skin. "Yesterday morning, I did take the quasi-express train from Ueno and arrived here. I was supposed to arrive at the villa before two o'clock, but due to the hateful landslide, it was already yesterday when I arrived It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Yuriko was still alive and kicking." "What... what? This... is it true?"

Assistant police officer Okada's fury and Kindaichi Kosuke's astonishment paled almost at the same time. "Of course it's true. Hey, Director, I'm a modern person after all, right? ... I still believe in medicine. Let's say now, at the request of Mrs. Tokiwa, isn't there one The powerful doctor came here specially from Tokyo to conduct an autopsy on the bodies of the two of them? I am also looking forward to the results of the autopsy. There must be an estimated time of death in this, right? So, if you don’t believe me, just wait and see.” Aono Taiichiro sneered.The more confident his attitude was, the more ugly Kindaichi Kosuke's face became.

"The time of the two's deaths was yesterday, that is, after six o'clock on Saturday night, which will certainly be proved. Because when I left there, Yuriko was still alive. I left the villa at about six o'clock, and at six thirty At 10:30, I took the down train from Nakakaruizawa, and when I arrived in Nagano, it was about 8:30, and then I stayed near the station in a hotel called "Fujiya". If you don't believe me, You can investigate my alibi." Yesterday morning, when Matsushiro Tokiwa visited that villa, the woman was already dead, no, Matsushiro Tokiwa thought she was dead.Since even Matsushiro believed so, the man who strangled the woman would no doubt believe so.However, when Taiichiro Aono came to the villa around four o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the woman was still alive and kicking. Since the man even told the presumed time of his death, there must be no falsehood in it.

So, on Saturday morning, the woman wasn't really dead.The woman was only in a state of suspended animation for a while, so that even the man who strangled the woman and Tokiwa Matsuyo mistakenly thought that the woman had passed away on Friday night.Then, on Sunday morning, the woman was again a strangled corpse, this time for real. Kosuke Kindaichi felt a sharp pain in his chest, his heart was completely destroyed by the ironic fate.For a long time, there was only one pine tree in his heart, and it was probably killed by mistake.However, after hearing what Aono Taiichiro said just now, he realized that this character also killed another woman—Yuriko.

He no longer had the heart to listen to Aono Taiichiro's words.This man undoubtedly heard from Yuriko that he was almost killed by a man last night, but he still left Yuriko at the scene alone and went to Nagano by himself.He must have had his own plan in doing so.Could it be that he wanted Lily to lie in ambush and wait for the man who strangled Lily to come again, so as to increase the bargaining chip for blackmail?In this case, it would be better for him not to be there... However, the person who fell into the trap set by this vicious couple was not the man they were waiting for... Kosuke Kindaichi staggered out of the room.Two hours later, the autopsy report released by Dr. F, the highest authority in the field of forensic medicine, also partly confirmed Taiichiro Aono's words.

The so-called "part" here refers to the death time of the Viridian pine and the Aono Yuriko, and there is a huge difference. Leaving out all the hard jargon, just to briefly introduce the gist of the autopsy report, which is that the time of Pinus Pine being strangled was between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, whereas Yuriko Aono was strangled to death. The time is between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock that night.That is, the pine tree died eighteen hours earlier than the woman, and when the woman was killed, Taiichiro Aono had no time to commit the crime.
