When Fujiwara Yuu and Hayami Reika came to the restaurant with coffee, they found that the only people who obeyed them were the timid Yusaku Daimon and Ken Munakata, and the obedient Marina Ayatsuji and Shiro Hibiki.
The other two did not show up in the restaurant, obviously they did not take their advice to heart.
Yamato Gansuke reached out and took a cup of coffee. He looked at Takashi Sosuke speechlessly, the puzzlement in his tone was obvious:
"I've already asked them. At first, they stayed in the restaurant, but after a while, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest."
"Have any of you left the restaurant?" Fujiwara Yu was more concerned about this. After all, the murderer could also use the excuse of going to the bathroom to temporarily leave the restaurant, and it wouldn't take long to push the snowman away with his hands, so anyone who left the restaurant would be a suspect.
All three people except Hibiki Shiro raised their hands and said that they had been to the toilet. Hibiki Shiro, who had been present the entire time, pushed his glasses and said expressionlessly that they all took about the same amount of time to go to the toilet, except for Yusaku Daimon, who took a little longer, nearly ten minutes.
Seeing everyone's suspicious gazes directed at him, Daimon Yusaku no longer cared to hide his feelings and explained in a loud voice:
"I'm just a little constipated. You can't doubt that I have a problem just because I spend a lot of time in the bathroom! If you two officers don't believe me, I can take off my pants right now. I also have hemorrhoids!"
Everyone stared at Daimon Yusaku's hands, which were already unbuckling his belt. Realizing that it would be an eyesore if they didn't stop him, Fujiwara Yuu quickly coughed twice and spoke out to stop him:
"Ahem, don't get so excited. Anyone who leaves the restaurant is a suspect. Even if you only spent a minute, you're still on the suspect list."
Fujiwara Yu's hand trembled slightly as he held the coffee. He had never imagined that Daimon Yu would take off his pants in public to prove his innocence. At the same time, he was also very glad that he didn't rush to drink the coffee because he thought it was a little hot. Otherwise, he would probably be like Yamato Gansuke who was coughing non-stop.
Daimon Yusaku didn't expect that he would still be doubted after saying so much. He fastened his belt again and frowned as he asked his doubts:
"Why is that? Where's that Akashi guy? He hasn't shown up yet. Why don't you suspect him?"
"Because he's already dead, and before Rie Kano."
"Dead, dead? Akashi is dead?" Daimon Yusaku took two steps back in fear. He never expected that the disappeared Akashi Michio was already dead. Who else would the murderer want to kill? It wouldn't be him, right?
Yamato Gansuke observed their expressions and found nothing suspicious, so he spoke:
"Yes, Akashi Michio's body is hidden in the snowman at the door."
Click.
The sound of breaking glass.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was director Masashi Hiruda. He looked horrified, obviously having heard their conversation and was shocked by the fact that Michio Akashi was dead.
"Mr. Hiruda, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself." Yamato Gansuke narrowed his eyes. He always felt that Hiruda Masashi's reaction was a bit too much. His nervousness seemed more like he was afraid of the murderer rather than hearing the news of Mingdao's death.
Could it be that he knew why the murderer killed Michio Akashi and Rie Kano?
Hiruda Masashi smiled awkwardly. He took out his damp cigarette pack, only to find that the cigarettes inside were all gone. He had no choice but to put the pack back in his pocket, baring his yellow teeth.
"I heard some noise at the door and came to the restaurant to check. Do the two officers want to see me?"
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the living room? Why did you leave without permission?" Yamato Gansuke said in a bad tone.
"I just received a call from the TV station saying that the show couldn't go on, so I had to tell the TV station the news in advance... I didn't leave on purpose."
He is lying.
Fujiwara Yuu naturally could see that Hiruda Masashi was lying. He was probably afraid that the call from the TV station was fake. He took the initiative to tell the TV station about this for profit so as to reduce the losses of the program.
Haha, Rie Kano was right - people in this circle will do anything for money.
Yamato Gansuke frowned and stared at Hiruda Masashi with an unhappy expression. After a few seconds of silence, he picked up the remote control beside him, turned on the TV, and jumped to the TV station that was broadcasting the "Big Fright" program.
Sure enough, the news about Rie Kano's death was being broadcast.
——"Isn't it shocking that Miss Garner was murdered?"
——"Yeah, when I heard the news, I thought it was a lie!"
Hiruda Masashi noticed that everyone was looking at him with a hint of hostility. He rubbed the back of his head with a wry smile and began to defend his behavior:
"I, I have no choice. If I don't tell the TV station about what happened in Ghana, I can't afford the losses."
"Tsk tsk, you are so cold-blooded. I remember you have worked with Garner many times, right?" Although Yusaku Daimon did not like Garner Rie, she is now dead, so he naturally had to be more careful with his words.
"Then I can't take responsibility. This is the murderer's fault. What does it have to do with me?" Hiruda Masashi said unhappily. He was just protecting his own interests.
Fujiwara Yuu glanced at Hiruta Masashi indifferently, then turned his attention back to the TV. He was surprised to see something. The TV was playing the suspense drama "Etude of Flame," which aired last March. The scene playing happened to be the scene where Rie Kano's character was killed.
——"...Miss Garner at the time certainly didn't expect that one day her fake play would become reality."
TV drama, the scene of being killed, fake becomes real?
Wait, if the murderer used this method, wouldn’t that explain why he has an alibi?
Fujiwara Yu felt someone poking him in the waist. He turned his head and found Yamato Gansuke winking at him. He realized that the other party also knew the little trick used by the murderer. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded affirmatively.
To confirm that their reasoning is correct, all they need to do is check the surveillance footage they were watching at the time.
"Hey, Hiruta, you should have the video of Rie Kano being killed, right?" When Yamato Gansuke dislikes someone, his tone is naturally bad, even if he is asking that person for a favor.
"I'm keeping the video. If you need it, Officer, I can play it for you." Hibiki Shirou pushed his glasses and replied.
"Okay, then show us the video." Yamato Gansuke noticed Hiruda Masashi preparing to leave. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Director, won't you stay and watch it with us?"
Hiruda Masashi smiled awkwardly and waved his hand. He didn't want to be treated with sarcasm any longer.
"My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, so I'm going back to my room to rest. Hahaha, I can't help you anyway."
"Okay, then take your time."
