Chapter 61 third quarter

It has been five days since Murase's death. During these five days, the investigation by Onikatsu and others has made no progress at all.When Kosuke Nishinomata was killed on Ryodaishi Bridge, Hishinuma Fumie was buying painkillers at a pharmacy in Omiya, which was very far away from the scene-they were really helpless with this alibi.When Dana re-investigated the alibi witness, the brown-haired pharmacist suddenly became furious under his persistent questioning, his white face flushed to the roots of his hair, and he shouted that he had nothing to say .This left Dana speechless, so he had to flee outside the shop in embarrassment.

The escaped fish is fatter, which is the common mentality of fishermen.Therefore, Dana felt very sorry for Murase's death.What is the hole card in Murase's hand?As long as you know this, you should be able to completely solve the mystery of the Nishi no Hata case.But this is nothing but a foolish and useless lament. Murase went to "Lanlan" for dinner with a friend at that time, and that friend must have seen the same thing as Murase.If he could meet him, maybe he could get a clue as to what Murase had discovered.With this in mind, they asked around for the identity of the man, but have not received any response so far.They couldn't wait like this forever, and even if they found that friend, they couldn't be sure whether he had discovered what Murase had discovered.

Both Oniguki and Dana knew that to break through the impasse in the investigation, active actions were needed, but what exactly should they do?The two are still helpless.At a time like this, I really don't want to see the face of the section chief.And the news of Wenjiang's relationship with Yuanji was quickly heard by the search headquarters, which made them even more anxious. It was a hot day, as usual, early in the morning.Blooming dali flowers are placed in a vase. Although the flowers themselves are still in good spirits, the leaves have long since lost the strength to absorb water, and they look dejected.And Dana was very thirsty too.

Onigiri Police Department faced the table and re-read the search records.He has read this document countless times. He does not expect to find new discoveries after reading it, but now that he has run out of ideas, the only thing he can do is to go back and read the records. At least, this is better than staying there. It looks much better with the hair in a daze. Dana straightened the overturned teacup and poured it into the warm water in the teapot.As soon as he took a sip, the slight smell of bleach scratched his nostrils. "How bad the water is!" he thought.When he was a child, he drank the water from the well behind his house. The water was cold and had an indescribable taste.Whenever Dana drank lukewarm tap water, even if he didn't want to, he would involuntarily recall his childhood.

Suddenly, the sound of the dial turning came from next to his ear. He looked back and saw that Gui Guan was sticking the microphone to his ear, and there was an unusual light in his eyes.Dana thought to himself: What the hell happened?Guiguan has a poker face, and his inner thoughts rarely show on his face.Even if it is a smile, he will never laugh out loud, at most he can only smile lightly.Now he was the same, suppressing his feelings, only the light in his eyes betrayed him.Guiguan restlessly tapped on the table with his other hand, the pencil in his hand. "Hi, is this Oku's locomotive depot?" Onikiki Police Department asked.

Dana was taken aback when he heard that, why did Guiguan suddenly call to such an unexpected place?What exactly is the ghost wanting to ask?The short detective was completely clueless. "... On the night of June 1st, after passing Dongjujo Station, there was a car accident, right? Well, that's right..." The Oniguan Police Department's gaze was fixed on the peach-colored dali flower, as if trying to see through it. Ten car accidents?Dana also remembered.At 11:10 that night, a large truck collided with a descending freight train, not only causing casualties, but also interrupting traffic on the Tohoku Main Line and the Keihin Tohoku Line for several hours. It was a very serious railway accident.But why is Onikitsu bringing this up now?

"I would like to ask a question. After the accident, the ordinary train departing from Ueno to Aomori, more precisely, the No. 117 train departing at 23:40." Dana's auditory nerves tensed instantly. Isn't train number 117 the one that transported the remains of Kosuke Nishinohata, the corpse transporter? "Because of the traffic accident in Dongjujo at that time, the traffic on the Tohoku Main Line should have been interrupted. So, which line does the 117 train take?" Hearing Gui Guan's words, Dana finally understood: what Gui Guan wanted to ask.As he said, the accident happened on train No. 117, which happened 30 minutes before departure from Ueno. Before two o'clock in the morning, no matter whether the train was going up or down, it should be immobile.However, when the train No. 117 arrived at Baishi Station the next morning, it was only 20 minutes late-this matter can only be found out by checking the testimony of the painter and the station staff.Judging from this point, we can know that the No. 117 train was not stuck there before the accident in Dongshitiao, that is, before two o'clock in the morning, but took another route.

"...via Ikebukuro? So it's the Akabane Line, right?" After the Oniguan Police Department thanked him, he hung up the phone. Although his expression didn't change, Dana could tell from his actions that he was very satisfied with the result. "Did you find anything?" Dana picked up the teacup again. "yes." "Are you going out?" Oniguan Police Department couldn't wait to get up. "That's right. The answer to the mystery has finally been revealed. I want to confirm on the spot whether my thinking is correct or not." "What do you think?"

"Come with me and you'll find out." After answering in an abnormally indifferent tone, Oni took a big stride and left the office. Dana also grabbed the hat and gave chase.Because he knew very well that the ghostly and reticent attitude meant that he was suppressing the excitement in his heart.
