The key borrowed from the director of the dental clinic successfully opened the door of the clinic. The shift schedule at the door clearly showed that Zemu Ye Zi was in charge of the night shift this week, so she was the only dentist in the entire clinic tonight.
Apart from Ayumi Yoshida, no one else can prove the whereabouts of Sawaki Yezi. If you want to confirm whether she is the murderer, you just need to try to see if her alibi can be overturned.
Thinking of this, Fujiwara Yuu looked down at Yoshida Ayumi and said in a gentle tone:
"Ayumi, can you tell me which lounge Ms. Sawaki has put you in?"
"I know. It's the second room from the left. There's a sofa and a TV inside. The sofa is very soft and I slept very comfortably." Ayumi Yoshida jumped to the door of the lounge, pushed it open and said with a smile.
Sleep well?
Since when did tooth extraction provide patients with the service of sleeping?
Fujiwara Yuu thought of what Yoshida Mei had said. He did not rush to ask, but instead looked around the lounge. After memorizing every detail, he asked:
"Ayumi, you just said you slept very comfortably. Did you fall asleep after having your teeth pulled?"
"Well, I felt very sleepy after having my tooth pulled, but Kamen Rider was about to start, so I tried not to sleep." Yoshida Ayumi frowned in grievance as she talked about Kamen Rider, muttering softly, "But I still fell asleep afterwards. Even though Sister Ye woke me up, I still missed Kamen Rider."
"Wake me up? Ayumi, did you sleep twice?" Fujiwara Yuu said in surprise with his eyes wide open.
Logically, you shouldn't feel sleepy after having a tooth extracted, because you will feel toothache after the anesthesia wears off, and pain will make people unable to sleep, so how could Ayumi fall asleep twice? There is definitely something wrong here.
"Well, I fell asleep once when I had my tooth pulled, then I watched some Kamen Rider for a while, and then I fell asleep again."
"Do you remember what time it was?"
Ayumi Yoshida pouted and thought carefully. Fortunately, children have strong memories. In addition, she has been thinking about Kamen Rider in her heart, so she paid attention to the time, for fear of missing the screening.
She snapped her fingers and replied:
"It was around 7 p.m. when I had my tooth pulled, and that's when I fell asleep for the first time. I don't remember exactly when I fell asleep the second time, but I woke up just as Kamen Rider was starting, so it must have been 7:30 p.m."
There was a half-hour interval between Yoshida Ayumi's two sleep sessions. If there had been no traffic jam, she would have been able to travel back and forth between the crime scene and the dentist's clinic, but this is a bit far-fetched and there is no evidence to prove it.
Fujiwara Yuu rested his chin on his hand, pondering for a moment, but still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. Could it be that Sawaki Yoko wasn't the murderer? But her motive for murder was too strong. She insisted that she didn't know the victim was her enemy, and even dragged the administrator to the crime scene with her, completely trying to clear herself of suspicion.
Her actions were too contradictory and too deliberate. If she hadn't had an alibi, the police would have applied to search her home long ago.
"Huh?"
Fujiwara Yu heard a puzzled voice from Yoshida Ayumi. He turned his head and saw that Ayumi had picked up the Kamen Rider playing cards on the table in the lounge. He remembered that Ayumi liked Kamen Rider very much, so he couldn't help but remind her:
"Ayumi, you can't take other people's things casually. If you like it, brother will buy it for you later, okay?"
"No, I'm not a bad kid who steals things!" Yoshida Ayumi raised her head anxiously, her eyes red, and she kept muttering, "Ayumi is not a bad kid, Ayumi returned the card properly... But, but the card disappeared by itself, I really did return it!"
Fujiwara Yuu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't bother to comfort Ayumi not to cry. He picked up the playing cards with a serious face and began to check them. Finally, he found that the Ace of Hearts card was missing.
Perhaps because his expression looked too fierce, Yoshida Ayumi was worried about being arrested by the police and burst into tears. Realizing that he had frightened her, Fujiwara Yuya scrambled to comfort her. With no experience in this area, he could only pull his fingers on the corners of his mouth and make faces to try to make her laugh.
She was crying one second, but the next second, after seeing Sosuke Takagi making a face, Yoshida Ayumi stopped crying. It wasn't because she was amused, but she puffed her lips and said something that made someone laugh:
"Brother Police, you don't look ugly even when you make a face."
"I'll just take that as a compliment from Ayumi." Fujiwara Yuu put down his hand that was pulling at the corner of his mouth. He put the cards into the evidence bag and asked with a smile, "Ayumi, I want to ask you a question. Did you take the ace of hearts at that time?"
"Well, I was afraid that having a tooth pulled would hurt, so I took a red heart ace with Kamen Rider printed on it, hoping that Kamen Rider could bless me so that the tooth wouldn't hurt. But I really gave it back. Ayumi is not a thief!"
Ayumi Yoshida is obviously not lying, so where will the missing cards go?
Fujiwara Yu reached out and rubbed Ayumi's head, gently soothing her:
"Of course Ayumi is not a bad kid. Brother will take you back to your mother, okay?"
"Well, thank you Brother Yingsi for believing in me."
Was the change in address because the child had completely let down his guard? Fujiwara Yuu curled his lips in a good mood and returned to the crime scene with Yoshida Ayumi. After handing Ayumi over to Yoshida Mi, he went into the home of the victim, Katsuhiko Nakamoto.
Megure Juzo stood in the living room with a serious expression on his face. The police officers around him were busy, apparently trying to find some useful information in the victim's home.
