Chapter 53 second quarter
The home of Cheka Matsuno is located in 6-chome, Oku-cho, Arakawa-ku.Although this place is located in a low-lying area close to Arakawa, the gray soil has no water at all, and the whole town feels like it is covered in dust.Because of the prosperity of family factories here, it is a natural phenomenon that the industrial population is large, and the second largest population is the population engaged in railway-related industries. This phenomenon occurs because Oku Station and the shunting yard of the Tohoku Main Line Not far from this town.This is the specialty of Oku Town.
After turning into an alley from the ring road, walk along the alley, and at the end of the alley is the residence of Chezhang Matsuno.A loofah shed was set up in the courtyard of Matsuno’s house, and the loofahs were carefully cultivated. When Guiguan came to visit, the driver only wore a pair of underwear to water the loofahs.But his efforts didn't seem to get the rewards he deserved. The loofah on the shelf was so small that it looked no different from a cucumber.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" After looking away from the business card, Captain Matsuno asked.His thin, cheekboned face had honest eyes.
Onitsuki Police Department inspected the appearance of Matsuno's house before stating the purpose of the visit.It is not good for them to stand here and talk, but going into this small room to talk in detail will disturb the life of their family.
"Is there a quieter coffee shop near here?" Guiguan Police Department asked.
Captain Matsuno returned to the house, and soon he appeared wearing a short-sleeved shirt and white trousers.Those trousers were like telephone poles, without any creases.
The two walked on the main road of Showa Town, stepped on the asphalt road that had been softened by the sun, and walked into a fashionable coffee shop that didn't quite match the gray town.The storefront is narrow, and the depth of the store is also shallow. On the table in the middle, there are precious ice cubes sealed with summer chrysanthemums and carnations for decoration.But because of the heat, half of the ice cubes melted, and the red flowers emerged from the ice.
It just so happens that there are no customers in the store right now.Gui Guan sat on the iron pipe chair in the corner and ordered the ice cream for the two of them. On the wall beside him was a mermaid painting imitating Dongxiang Qing'er's painting style. The mermaid's blurred face looked somewhat similar to Mrs. Wen Jiang.
"Sorry for taking up your precious vacation time."
After turning his gaze from the painting to Captain Matsuno, Onikaki apologized.It is troublesome for anyone to be repeatedly visited and interrogated by the police.
"No." He replied briefly, the pair of small eyes above the protruding cheekbones flashed a smile that would be missed if you didn't pay attention.
"Could you please tell me again, what happened when Mrs. Hishinuma took that train?"
Captain Matsuno did not answer whether it was possible, but directly cut to the point.
"It happened on the 14th of last month. When I was on duty on the train No. 311 going down, the lady came to the conductor's room and told me that she had lost the seal book on the platform of Kashiwazaki Station. Although she didn't know whether the collection book was lost or taken away, but there should be no one who would want to steal the collection book, so it must have been dropped. She said that if someone found it, she hoped that the booklet could be returned to her .I immediately asked for her name and address, and conveyed the matter to Kashiwazaki Station."
"when did it happen?"
"Time, this...it was after leaving Echigo Hirota, so it should be around 16:50." He thought for a while and said.
The Onitsuki Police Department took out the timetable and saw that this train left Echigo Hirota at 16:46 (please refer to the train timetable ⑶).Therefore, the time Wen Jiang arrived at the conductor's office should be around 16:50 as he said, at least it can be determined that it will not be before 50 (please refer to the train timetable ⑶).
The ice cream was served, and the two picked up spoons to attack the white object at the same time. The cool feeling made their tongues freeze and their teeth sore.A trolleybus seemed to be unable to bear its huge body, and staggered across the circular road ahead.
"Mr. Matsuno, please allow me to change the subject."
Oniguan Police Department didn't realize that his tone had become serious, but the other party felt this change. After he put the spoon on the plate, he looked at Guiguan with his eyes, and his expression became a little stiff.
"You just said that the date you received Mrs. Hishinuma's loss registration form was the fourteenth of last month. Why can you remember her face for four weeks?"
Perhaps it was because the ghost didn't express his meaning clearly, the other party looked puzzled, and his small eyes blinked non-stop, which made the ghost repeat his question again.
"It's not a difficult thing, because after that, she came to the train team to find me twice and asked me if I found the album, so I have a deep memory of her appearance. But in the end I still found Before that booklet, Madam seemed to have given up, and I haven't seen her since then."
After speaking, the car captain who was on vacation picked up the spoon again.The hot weather caused half of their ice cream to melt into liquid.
Although the ghost police department didn't show it on his face, he was actually a little disappointed in his heart.After losing my cherished collection of seals, I went to the train team to ask the conductor on the train at that time and asked about the situation. This is not surprising at all.Before hearing his explanation, Onika was skeptical about the fact that Captain Matsuno would remember Wen Jiang's face, but after what he said, Onika also took it for granted.In the alibi claimed by the only suspect, he had found only one breakthrough point to crack it, and now the only breakthrough point fell apart so easily, without even a sound.The alibi proposed by Wen Jiang is perfect and flawless no matter how you look at it from any angle.
The Onitsuki Police Department was frustrated for a while, but the enthusiasm to crack the alibi immediately surged in his heart.The perfection of Wen Jiang's alibi ignited his fighting spirit.
So, where and what research should you do?There is only one way, which is to visit the remaining two witnesses, listen to their testimonies, and use a magnifying glass to examine these testimonies to find out all misunderstandings, mistakes, and contradictions.
