6pm
Sakaki Makoto and Takayama Rumi returned to Tsukishima Hotel.
The moment he walked into the room, Sakaki Makoto realized that someone had been here.
Although the furnishings in the room remained unchanged, there was a faint smell of tobacco in the air.
The smell is very light, almost inaudible.
Sakaki Makoto never smoked in the room.
And the tobacco tastes different too.
The cigarettes he smokes have a more fragrant taste...
On the carpet at the door lay an opened letter.
Not only that, but there were a few dust particles lying underneath the edge of the windowsill.
On the eaves outside the window, wavy footprints about 26 cm long are clearly visible.
Sakaki Makoto immediately frowned.
The other party came in through the window.
Thief?
No...
If it was a thief, he would have rummaged through everything. The room couldn't be so tidy.
If you don’t seek wealth, then you can only seek people.
The opponent's goal...
Is it him or Takayama Rumi?
"Makoto?"
Takayama Rumi appeared at the door, and seeing him standing there in a daze, she asked curiously:
"Let's go have dinner!"
"Wait a mininute."
Sakaki Makoto sat on the bed and opened the letter.
[If you want to know the truth, come to the third bend in the back mountain at 10 o'clock tonight.]
"hiss...."
Suddenly, Sakaki Makoto took a deep breath.
Extremely shocked.
Are prisoners so self-aware these days?
It really is the country where the Kamikaze Squad appeared...
Each one is a suicide truck.
He hadn't done anything yet when the other party came to his door.
It's really like an old man who hangs himself because he thinks his life is too long...
"ah!"
Takayama Rumi leaned over and saw the words on the letter. She tugged at Sakaki Makoto's clothes with some excitement:
"The case is here, the case is here!"
"Let's go solve the case tonight!"
Sakaki rolled his eyes, crumpled the letter into a ball, and threw it accurately into the trash can:
“No!”
"Can't you see such an obvious trap?"
"But you're a detective!"
Takayama Rumei was stunned:
"Isn't it the job of a detective to face challenges head-on and then heroically catch the murderer?"
Rubbing his brows helplessly, Sakaki Makoto smiled bitterly and said:
"Watch less TV drama..."
"That's not called solving a case, that's called committing suicide."
"What about the detective's professional ethics?"
Takayama Rumi was completely dumbfounded.
"First of all, I'm not a detective."
Seeing Takayama Rumi's serious look, Sakaki Makoto felt the need to remind her:
"Secondly, no matter what time it is, the detective must first ensure his own safety, rather than heading towards a dangerous place even though he knows there is a tiger there."
"Third, who told you I have professional ethics?"
Gao Shan Rumei: "..."
This was completely different from the detective she had seen in the Taiga dramas.
In the novels of the great writer Edogawa Ranpo, as long as the criminal reveals his identity, the protagonist should attack without hesitation and fight the criminal with a battle of wits and courage!
She was looking forward to solving the case...
But Sakaki Makoto wasn't expecting that at all.
He had encountered too many cases and knew that there were endless criminals to catch.
and....
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Maybe there will be a good show to watch tonight.
The letter was at the door, but the other party obviously didn't need to go to the trouble of climbing into the room from the eaves and just put the letter at the door.
Just stuff it in through the crack in the door.
So it is very likely that these are two groups of criminals.
In this case, let them fight each other. Why should we meddle in it?
..............
At night, 10pm.
After nightfall, the humidity on the mountain increased noticeably, and the bushes were gleaming with cold dew, making the mountain quiet and secluded.
"Mad."
Suddenly, a low curse came from a bush:
"It's already ten o'clock, is Makoto Sakaki coming or not?"
"My old cold legs can't stand it anymore..."
"I think he will come..."
An uncertain voice sounded:
"He is a famous detective..."
"It's only right to have professional ethics..."
"If you don't come in ten minutes, I'll go back!"
Ten minutes later...
It is so dark on the mountain at night that you can't see your hand in front of you.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji and his two companions had been lying in ambush in the bushes for more than an hour, but...
The agreed time had long passed, but there was no sign of Sakaki Makoto.
"I told you long ago that he wouldn't be fooled!"
Hedgehog Head shouted.
"Shh!"
“Here it comes!”
There were footsteps coming down the stone steps.
The evening breeze blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
The clouds retreated and the moonlight illuminated the forest.
A dark shadow came up stealthily, looking back every few steps.
Be extremely vigilant.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji and the other two were cheered up.
It was too dark and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. They could only vaguely see that the person was wearing a black suit and sunglasses and was a man.
This outfit...it must be Sakaki Makoto!
Yamamoto Makihara was very cautious. He looked around and found that there was no one around. He glanced at his watch in surprise.
After reading the letter in the room, he immediately made a new plan.
It's too risky to do it in a hotel.
Why not wait for Sakaki Makoto to arrive for the appointment, then ambush him on the way down the mountain and kill him with one shot without anyone noticing...
