Chapter 563 Where Have All the Tools Gone?

"But when I got there, his room was locked and no one answered when I knocked on the door. After knocking a few times, I heard a cell phone ringing in his room... but it wasn't Mr. Birasaka's cell phone, it sounded more like Miss Utakura's. I thought it was strange, so I stepped on a stool and took a look inside through the open air vent..."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Hirasaka Reiki's study.

Park Zhimu Hexiong stopped talking and pointed to the stool he had placed at the door: "That's it."

Jiang Xia looked at the stool, frowned and nodded.

After a second, he realized that no one was standing up to look inside. He was slightly startled, then came to his senses and walked over by himself.

...When solving a case, it’s a bit strange to not have other detectives or police officers around to take the initiative and rush forward.

Come to think of it, it seems that no one has called the police since the discovery of Akiko Utakura's body... These people are too ignorant.

Just now, Jiang Xia wanted to report it himself.

But on second thought, Vodka looked like he couldn't stand the inspection, and according to the information obtained from Toru Amuro, part of the road here seemed to have collapsed. Although it would be difficult for the police to come over, it would also be difficult for Vodka to run away... Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to pretend that he had forgotten it.

...It's not that he likes the murderous aura of vanilla ice cream flavor. It's that the ghosts seem to like it very much.

In addition, similar to people like Tequila and Pisco, Vodka also looks like he won't give birth to a ghost after death. It's better to help him survive for a while and let him live and shine...

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Xia had already stepped onto the stool placed at the door of Hirasaka Reiki's study.

The air vent above the door was open at an angle, and through the gap of more than ten centimeters wide, one could see the sofa and coffee table in the study.

At this time, Hirasaka Reiki was lying on the sofa in a very ungraceful manner, with his head tilted to one side and a deep red liquid like blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

On the coffee table next to him, there was an overturned bottle of red wine and a broken wine glass, the wine spilled out and spilled all over the table.

...It really looked like he was "dead".

Jiang Xia checked the scene, borrowed someone else's phone to take a few photos, then jumped off the stool and gave instructions in an unskilled manner: "Pry open the door and take a look."

…

The study door was eventually pried open.

As the door opened wide, the wind from the door blew up a pile of colorful pieces of paper.

A group of people who were about to rush into the room were stunned by the scene and stopped.

In Hirasaka Reiki's study, there was a large area of ​​torn poster scraps scattered on the floor between the door and the sofa. The fragments of various colors overlapped randomly, covering the floor leading to the sofa, like a luxurious carpet made of pieces of paper.

The air stagnated for a moment.

The next second, Vodka punched the door frame and blurted out: "Damn it!"

Half a second later, he added in a low voice: "The murderer of..."

Yagawa Hiroshi was startled by the noise.

He frowned and turned around, seeing Vodka's angry eyes. After a moment of shock, his condemnation of "Yamada Yutaka" suddenly disappeared, and he sighed as if he understood - it was really hard to have a friend killed... Speaking of which, Mr. Yamada and Mr. Hirasaka had such a good relationship? How come he had never heard that these two people were friends.

Hiroji Yagawa was confused for a moment, but soon figured it out on his own - it might also be that Mr. Yamada himself hated evil and felt powerless and angry when he saw two people being killed in succession.

...Anyway, he's a good guy.

Hiroji Yagawa then patted Vodka's shoulder with understanding, indicating that he had the same idea.

…

When the two strong men felt the same sadness for different reasons.

Jiang Xia carefully walked around the poster fragments at the door, walked to the sofa, and checked on Hirasaka Reiki's condition.

After a moment, under the gaze of a group of people, he shook his head regretfully, implying that this man was beyond saving.

Then Jiang Xia stood up and looked at the corner of the sofa.

There was a piece of string thrown there, and next to it was a cell phone with a rose-red casing - this should be the murder weapon used to kill Akiko Utakura. The cell phone was also Akiko Utakura's cell phone.

All of this looks like after Hirasaka Reiki killed Utakura Akiko in the meditation room, he mysteriously turned it into a secret room, then returned to his room, drank red wine and committed suicide. Before committing suicide, he used Utakura Akiko's mobile phone to send a group message to everyone saying "I'm resurrected".

…

It was not until now, after seeing the second body and the murder weapons scattered next to the first body, that someone finally remembered to call the police.

——Yakawa Hiroji finally showed some of the demeanor that a Tokyo native should have, and his reaction was slightly faster than the others.

He stared at Hirasaka Reiki's body for a moment, took out his cell phone and started dialing.

Jiang Xia looked at him, then thought of the unchecked vodka, hesitated for a moment, but did not stop him.

...The detective didn't let others call the police, which sounds very suspicious.

In addition, if you think about it carefully, even if the police arrive, as long as the case is solved quickly enough and the police can immediately identify the murderer, the other passers-by will not attract too much attention and it will be easy for them to get away with routine questioning.

Moreover, calling the police seems to have other benefits - the sooner the police know what happened here, the sooner they can find a way to get here and take over the aftermath. In this way, Jiang Xia can set off earlier and go somewhere else to see the scenery.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked around the scene while listening to Hiroji Yagawa describing what happened in the villa tonight in the intermittent signal.

After calling the police, the group of people at the door gradually accepted the fact that "someone died" and calmed down.

Jiang Xia discovered their movements and was about to remind the people at the door not to enter the house and protect the scene, just like the other detectives.

But when he looked over there, he was suddenly startled to find that there was one more person in the crowd.

——Toru Amuro is back.

And at this time, he had already blended into the crowd as if nothing had happened.

According to Toru Amuro, he was sleeping soundly before and was awakened by the noise and came to check. After all, he was just a guest who was passing by tonight and didn't have Akiko Utakura's contact information. Naturally, he didn't receive the message sent by "Kira" using Akiko Utakura's phone. It was reasonable that he found out later than others.

As Jiang Xia walked towards the door, Mist Tengu, who was following Amuro Toru, flapped his wings and flew back.

It brought Jiang Xia to the situation when Amuro Toru left the door.

——The "lost" effect on Yuya Kazami seemed to have ended. After Amuro Toru arrived, he successfully found this subordinate from under the tree, and then immediately rushed back, spending an extremely busy night.
