Chapter 63 Section five
"I'm getting more and more confused." Detective Dana said to the ghost police department after walking outside the house.
At this time, a man wearing black sunglasses passed by them. He turned his sideburned face and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Why? Isn't the truth gradually emerging?"
"But, according to what was said just now, the substitute who ate noodles at 'Lanlan' is not Yuanji."
"That's right, it wasn't Yuanji. I came here just to hear this fact from her."
"How do you know that the double is not Genkichi?"
"Because I read the search records. It was written from the very beginning that the person who dined at 'Lanlan' was not Genkichi Narayama, but I kept missing it until this morning. .”
"Which point?"
"Go and re-read it yourself. You'll find it out soon enough with a little care."
Oniguan Police Department played tricks on others, looked into the eyes ahead, and smiled as if teasing Dan.The two turned the corner of the shoe store and walked in the direction of the tramway.
"It's okay, then I'll check it out myself." Dana didn't admit defeat, puffed out his chest as if he was challenging the opponent.
"However, since Genkichi had nothing to do with this case, why was he killed? I thought it was because he was a stand-in for the president, and the murderer killed him because he was afraid that he would leak the secret."
"No, that's not the case. The murderer had to kill him, so he must be killed."
"Is that so?" Dana answered neither positively nor negatively.If you ask Gui Guan the reason, he must be the same as before, asking him to think for himself, this is just to find anger for himself.
"Shall we find a place to talk over a cold drink?"
When they got to the tramway, Oni Kan looked around, but there was no suitable coffee shop near the valley. In the end, they had to go back to Asakusa and go up to the second floor of an Okonomiyaki shop with a bit old-fashioned decoration.
"There are no guests here, which is exactly what I want."
"It's the first time I've eaten Okonomiyaki. I always thought that Okonomiyaki was a food for women."
Dana straightened the knees of his trousers and put them on the summer seat cushion.He looked around curiously: everywhere on the walls hung a framed brush-painted self-portrait of a female swordsman or an autograph board with a collective signature.After the two of them wiped their hands with the towels provided by the store, they wiped the sweat off their foreheads along the way.
"It's really quiet in your shop, is it usually like this?" Dana asked the female shop assistant.
"Yes, there will be a lot fewer customers in summer."
The clerk answered with a dirty towel.Above the crowd, a large fan was spinning, which looked like a reverse helicopter.
"I'll leave my seat first, I need to make a phone call."
Oniguan Police Department suddenly remembered something, walked to the corridor, and after about five minutes, he returned to his seat and sat back in his seat.
"About your question just now." Oniguan police department leaned their elbows on the table to start the conversation.
"From the investigation just now, we already know that Narayama Genkichi was drinking in the hotel on the night of June 1st when the incident occurred. That is to say, he was not the one who went to 'Lanlan' for dinner that night, but it is different from what we have believed so far. Said it was the opposite."
"Yeah, so the murderer has to find another person as a substitute."
As soon as Dana finished speaking, Guiguan looked at him suspiciously.
"Really? After seeing the murderer kill and silence Narayama Genkichi, you should also understand how dangerous it is to find someone as a substitute. Will the murderer really make this dangerous move twice?"
"Actually, didn't the murderer use someone other than Genkichi as a substitute? Or do you think the proprietress of the 'Orange House' is lying?"
"That's how you only look at the surface of things, so you always think that the person who appeared in 'Lan Lan' is a substitute."
Dana stared into Guiguan's eyes and temporarily held his breath.His intuition told him that Gui Guan's words were very important, but it would take some time for him to understand the meaning of these words.
"...So you are saying that the man who went to 'Lan Lan' is not a substitute?"
"That's right."
"So, that person is Kosuke Nishinomata?"
"Yes, he is himself."
Contrary to Dana's hesitant tone, Guiguan's tone is full of confidence.
"Listen, Dana. Looking back at the investigation records, Nishinohata didn't have dinner that evening, but only ate some sandwiches to satisfy his hunger. After eleven o'clock, he was naturally hungry. When he drove through Ikebukuro , when you see the neon lights of 'Lan Lan', it's not surprising that you want to have some late-night snacks, right?"
"But—" Dana's voice was too loud, and after he realized this, he hastily lowered his voice.
"I also remember that he ate a sandwich, so I don't object to your saying that he was hungry while driving. But it was 11:40 when Nishinohata fell on the roof of the train. I really can't believe it." People who fall on the roof of the car will show up in another place to eat Chinese food."
Under Dana's rebuttal, the Guiguan Police Department didn't look embarrassed at all. He opened his fan to fan his face, and spoke slowly.
"So, the idea that Nishi-no-hata was thrown down at the Ryodaishi Bridge that we have been holding for a long time is actually wrong. The deceased voice actor would have said that the idea of searching the headquarters is fundamentally wrong. , I think this is what he was referring to, but why he discovered this is still a mystery."
Onizuki Police Department said that they don't understand how the voice actor Murase found out about this, but in Dana's view, how Onizuki saw this is even more puzzling.He wanted to get back to the office early and re-read the search log.
"In this way, the blood on the two master bridges is...?"
"That was the murderer's disguise to make it look like the murder scene. Leaving the deceased's car in front of the National Museum is probably also a deception method used by the murderer to emphasize that the murder scene was in Ueno."
"Then the murderer is... that, Fumie Hishinuma, right?" Dana asked confirmingly.
After his preconceived notions have been completely destroyed once, he has little confidence in anything.
"That's right."
"In that case, where is the real crime scene? If you want to throw the body on the train, you need a land bridge no matter what."
"Yeah, but it's late now, and I'm so hungry."
Oniguan Police Department looked at the corridor, then turned to Dana.
"In fact, not only that, there are also restrictions on distance and time, and the murderer also needs to be familiar with the geographical environment near the land bridge. Taking all these into consideration, I think Omiya is the most suitable place."
"Is there a land bridge there?" When he went to Omiya before, he didn't notice the existence of a land bridge at all.
"Sit here, and there is one right after Omiya Station. When I got off the train at Omiya, I made a mistake and left the station from the north exit, so I had to take the land bridge and go around to the south exit. At that time, I I never dreamed that the bridge could be the scene of the crime."
Oniguan police department said, revealing in his tone that he thinks the crime scene is probably there.
On the route from Ueno to Omiya via Ikebukuro, there will be several land bridges, but no matter what, when the murderer throws the body down, the blood of the dead will naturally be left on the bridge.As long as you ask the forensic personnel to check, the conclusion will be released soon.Finding the right crime scene can be said to be optimistic.
At this moment, Dana suddenly discovered that the barrier standing in front of him had collapsed silently, and had turned into a pile of soil clods in a long time, which made him extremely astonished.
"So, Wenjiang's alibi for buying medicine at the pharmacy is worthless?"
"That's right, I called Omiya Station just now and asked about it. The time of train 117 leaving Omiya that night was 30 minutes later than the time shown on the timetable, which is 0:47. Because The train detours to Ikebukuro, so it takes a little longer."
"I see." Dana nodded.
Train No. 117 was 30 minutes late.Accelerate while driving, and when you reach Baishi.Successfully shortened the delay time to twenty minutes.
"That is to say, the time she dropped the body happened to be around 0:47, so the alibi for buying painkillers at 11:30, whether true or not, has nothing to do with whether she killed someone or not. "
After this explanation, Dana could finally understand why Guiguan was silently showing excitement this morning.Only ghosts can suppress their emotions like this, and Dana felt that he would never be able to do this kind of thing.
"In this way, our work is over." After a short silence, Dana said.
"Yes, the next step is to search the headquarters."
"I don't know if beer is sold in the Okonomiyaki restaurant. It's really unreasonable not to toast to celebrate the big event."
Dana licked his lips and looked around.
