The mask and down jacket were both there, as was the blood-stained murder weapon.
"So the testimony of 'Chief's Man' entering the men's restroom should not be wrong!" The patrolman in police uniform added with certainty.
"Not only that, but according to the testimony of the crowd watching nearby, when we surrounded the restroom, no one else entered the restroom because they heard the explanations of the pursuers."
The middle-aged patrolman next to him also added.
"It seems the suspect is among these three people."
Inspector Megure nodded after hearing this, walked towards the three people and said directly, "Would you please accept the questioning separately now?
Please state your name and the purpose of your visit."
"Um... My name is Hino Tatsuo, and I came here to buy a 'Bear Hand' at the Chief's Day Market."
A middle-aged man wearing a red haori and looking like a monkey explained, "As for why I came here, I simply bought some bear teshi and stopped by the restroom in this park on my way home."
Speaking of this, Hino Tatsuo smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's mainly because my stomach has been feeling uncomfortable recently. Look, I still have medicine with me!"
As he spoke, Tatsuo Hino took out an envelope-shaped medicine bag from his pocket, trying to prove his innocence.
"Stop pretending! You must be the 'Chief's Man'!!"
Just after Tatsuo Hino finished explaining why he came to the park restroom, Sonoko couldn't help but jump out and accuse him.
"Eh? What do you mean?" Tatsuo Hino looked at Sonoko with a confused look on his face.
"Because your face looks exactly like a monkey!" Sonoko pointed at Tatsuo Hino and said sternly.
"Yeah, that's what I was about to say just now, they really do look exactly the same!!" Takagi agreed.
"Hey, hey, what you are looking for now is not a monkey, but a "Chief's Man"!" It seemed that Tatsuo Hino was used to being told that he looked like a monkey, so he was not angry at all, but hurriedly defended himself.
"But the stabbed victim said it wasn't 'Chief' but 'Monkey'!" Sonoko glared at Tatsuo Hino, as if she was sure he was the murderer.
Tatsuo Hino looked surprised, as if he didn't expect that he would be so unlucky. He was actually blamed and suspected of being the murderer just because he looked like a monkey.
"What Mashiko Shirou described is probably not the criminal's appearance."
Tang Ze looked at everyone suspecting the first suspect and spoke up to clarify for him, "Don't forget that the 'Chief' was wearing a fire man mask to hide his appearance.
During the recent process and the process of forcing the other party to the bathroom, it seemed that no one saw the other party's appearance.
There were no witnesses, and the fact that the patrol found the "Chief's Man" mask and other equipment in the restroom and workroom also indirectly proves that no one saw his appearance.
"That makes sense..." Everyone nodded upon hearing this and temporarily put aside their suspicion of Hino Tatsuo.
As for Tang Ze, he has even begun to reduce Hino Tatsuo's suspicion by half.
After all, one of the "Science Laws" is that the person among the three who was first regarded as a suspect by Sonoko and Mouri Kogoro for a very bad and obvious reason is usually just a smokescreen.
After all, if the murderer is really determined to be someone who looks like a monkey, then there is no point in reasoning. Wouldn't it be better to just arrest him directly?
As his thoughts raced, Tang Ze quickly came to his senses and looked at the second suspect.
The man in yellow clothes has a bowl-cut hairstyle that covers his ears and is fat. He looks like a typical Japanese otaku.
"Mr. in yellow, could you please tell me about your situation?" Tang Ze looked at the man and gestured.
"I, I'm not going to Chief's City."
The man in yellow was a little timid, but after hearing Tang Ze's words, he explained, "I came to this park just to exchange equipment and props for the online game.
Because there are a lot of tourists coming here during the Chief's Day Market, I think I should be able to exchange a lot of things."
As he spoke, the otaku pulled out a game console from his bag and excitedly showed it to everyone, saying, "Look, I exchanged game equipment with 10 people today."
"Well, let's not talk about that for now. What's your name?" Inspector Megure asked speechlessly as he looked at the man who was talking nonstop.
"Yeah, we don't think we've asked your name yet?" Takagi agreed with a smile.
Upon hearing the two's questions, the man, who had been somewhat excited, froze in his tracks. Then, a look of timidity appeared on his face again, and he stammered, "Saru, Sarukawa Hisami is my name..."
“Monkey! Monkey!!”
As expected, when Tang Ze held his forehead in silence upon hearing the name, Sonoko, just as he had expected, excitedly pointed at Sarukawa Hisami and shouted, "You must be the 'Chief's Man'!"
"Sonoko!" Ayako, who was standing by, saw her lover's helpless look and felt a little embarrassed. She looked at her sister and shouted, "Behave yourself!"
"Okay..." When Yuanzi was called by her sister, she realized that her behavior was a bit out of line and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I know..."
Sarukawa Hisami, who was suspected of being the murderer, became impatient and quickly started to defend himself, "But no one has ever called me a monkey!?
Because my name is Jiumi, if you remove the "Si" character, everyone calls me Xiao Jiu..."
