After all, the instinct of a criminal is suspicion. He can believe what the relevant people say, but not completely. This is the most basic quality of a criminal.
"Ms. Yuko was murdered around one in the morning. Now we need to verify your alibis."
After Karasawa's summary, Naoki Kamii looked at everyone and consciously played the bad guy and raised this somewhat sensitive question.
"Let's play mahjong until about eleven o'clock, and then everyone can go back to their own rooms." Hanaya Yukisaburo said.
"By then, everyone should be in your rooms around one o'clock?" Naoki Kamii looked at the others, waiting for their answers.
"That's right, because Minako sleeps with my daughter, I sleep alone too," explained Hanaya Masahiko.
In other words, no one had an alibi, and the level of suspicion remained at the same level.
"Um... I have something to ask mom..."
At this moment, Hanaya Minako looked at her mother hesitantly and spoke.
"What's the matter?" Hanaya Fumiyo looked at her daughter curiously.
"Mom, did you take a walk in the yard with Dad late last night?" Minako Hanaya asked cautiously.
"How is that possible?"
After hearing her daughter's words, Hanaya Fumiyo's expression turned unhappy, perhaps because of her daughter's suspicion or for some other reason. "How could we possibly go for a walk at that time?"
"That's right, your mother's body needs rest, and late at night is not a good time." Hanaya Yukisaburo on the side also looked a little unhappy.
Obviously, their daughter's suspicion made the parents feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is that so... Then it's okay..." Minako Hanaya nodded and said no more.
However, the other party's somewhat inexplicable words naturally could not fail to attract the attention of Tang Ze and others.
So as I continued to ask, the other party slowly explained the reason for asking such a question.
It turned out that yesterday at midnight, after her daughter fell asleep, she ran to the balcony to smoke, and saw someone pushing a wheelchair towards the garden.
Because the light was too dim at the time, she only saw a little dark shadow. It was only when she saw the wheelchair being pushed that she thought it might be her parents.
"We haven't been there!" Hanaya Minako said firmly, "We can both guarantee that!"
"If it's not you two, then it can only be the criminal."
Naoki Kamii looked at Minako Hanaya and asked, "What time did you see this?"
"It was probably around one in the morning..." Minako Hanaya scratched her head and recalled.
"Senior!" After hearing Hanaya Minako's testimony, Uei Naoki said excitedly: "The time of the witness coincides with Yuko's death time!
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the prisoner carrying the body!"
"I think that's correct." Tang Ze nodded and looked at Hanaya Fumiyo beside him and asked, "Excuse me, where was the wheelchair at that time?"
"Right next to my bed." Hanaya Fumiyo answered truthfully.
"Is it possible that someone entered your room and pushed the wheelchair out while you were sleeping?" asked Naoki Kamii.
"I can't say for sure." Hanaya Fumiyo thought for a moment and said, "But I've always been a light sleeper, so I sleep separately from my husband.
If someone really came into my room and pushed a wheelchair, I think I would still wake up."
"Then, may I ask, besides the one you are using now, are there any other wheelchairs available in this mansion?" Tang Ze looked at Wen Dai and asked.
"No, this is the only one we have at home." Hanaya Yukisaburo shook his head.
"If that's the case, that's strange." Naoki Kamii looked around at everyone and said, "Then how do you explain what Minako saw?"
After all, there is only one wheelchair and it is next to Hanaya Fumiyo. So who is the figure pushing the wheelchair that Hanaya Minako saw?
This is simply inexplicable.
"Could it be... Rina..."
Hanaya Fumiyo clenched his hands, a look of melancholy on his face: "Perhaps this is the fate of the Hanaya family.
The world's only white rose, the "Red Night," cultivated by Rina brought wealth to the Hanaya family, but also brought a curse that tormented the Hanaya family for generations..."
As she finished her words, the expressions of the other people in the room became extremely ugly.
Obviously, the "Rose Curse" passed down from generation to generation in the Hanaya family is still very lethal to them.
Finally, in this slightly solemn atmosphere, Tang Ze asked about the details of the roses unique to the Hanaya family in order to ease the atmosphere, then said goodbye to everyone in the Hanaya family and ended the questioning.
Tang Ze naturally couldn't believe in curses or anything like that, so they waited until Uncle Dengmi brought the body back for an autopsy, and then continued with the previous search process.
The so-called process is to investigate according to the interpersonal relationships of the deceased throughout his life.
Generally speaking, apart from family, the place where the other person spends the most time is naturally the workplace, so the two went to the tavern where Yuko Takahara used to work.
According to the hotel owner, Yuko Takahara is very popular here. Even the gifts displayed on the counter now are given to Yuko Takahara by guests.
Among them is a photo of Yuko Takahara posing with a bouquet of roses.
"It's great to be young." The plump lady boss looked at the photo and lit a cigarette: "I used to shoot advertising photos, but now I look like this."
