Chapter 183 Do you want to read the script together?
If you think about it carefully, there was actually some time between the time Ayumi saw the "corpse" and the time they came looking for her.
Inspector Megure looked at his watch: "Seventeen minutes. I want to use this time to move the body from the bathroom to somewhere else, which is actually possible..."
The owner of the house snorted coldly: "I told you there is no body in my house. If you don't believe me, you can search as much as you want!"
After saying that, he turned and left, intending to go to the bedroom on the second floor.
Before going upstairs, the owner of the house remembered something and turned around to warn: "When I'm resting, I hate it most when others come upstairs to disturb me - it just so happens that my brother will be back soon, if you have any questions, go and ask him directly later!"
After saying this, his figure quickly disappeared on the second floor.
Inspector Megure retracted his gaze, glanced at the people he brought with him, and said helplessly: "I will assign the search area, you guys..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.
——The last second, the owner was still warning them "Don't go upstairs and disturb me."
At this second, Jiang Xia had already stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.
Inspector Megure was startled and quietly reminded: "Didn't he just say..."
Jiang Xia also quietly retorted: "He left so many strangers rummaging around in the house, and then he went upstairs to sleep without caring. Even if the 'strangers' were police officers, the behavior of 'Mr. Tanaka' was unreasonable - he was in a hurry to go upstairs now, maybe he had some reason to go there."
"The reason why we have to go there..." Sato Miwako had a vague guess, "Are you saying that the body is hidden on the second floor?!"
"It's very likely." Jiang Xia said, holding his breath and listening for a while.
After waiting for the sound from upstairs watching TV.
He stepped lightly onto the stairs.
…
Jiro Tanaka, the grumpy owner of the house, had already entered the bedroom on the second floor wearing a bathrobe and slippers.
There is a bed, a chair and a TV here.
and a dead body sitting in a chair "watching TV".
——The corpse is Tanaka Jiro’s brother, his twin brother.
Except for the beard, everything else about the two men: face, clothes, shoes... are exactly the same.
Jiro Tanaka closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the corpse in front of him that he had just dragged out of the bathroom and put in a "watching TV" posture.
"You shameless useless parasite, you couldn't even be content after death, and you were almost seen by someone..." Jiro Tanaka looked at his brother on the chair, a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
As he spoke, he tore off the fake beard on his mouth with a "swish" and hissed in pain.
…
Ten minutes ago, in the deep night, Yoshida Ayumi's terrified scream could be heard faintly here.
Jiro Tanaka, who had just shot his brother in the head with a stick, immediately realized the danger. He drew the curtains, and after a moment of anxiety, he suddenly came up with a clever idea.
——He cleaned the bathroom, dragged his brother's body upstairs, posed as if he was watching TV, and then dressed up as his brother.
When the police came and knocked on the door, Jiro Tanaka had already changed into an identical bathrobe and put on an identical fake beard, and had transformed himself into the "living brother."
Then he pretended to "rest" and went to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Next..." Jiro Tanaka breathed a sigh of relief - after creating the illusion that "his brother is resting upstairs", he could quietly climb over the wall and appear in front of the police as "the younger brother who just returned home" to secretly guide their investigation.
Even if those stupid policemen racked their brains, they could not have imagined that the "violent homeowner" who was scolding them just a few minutes ago was actually a corpse.
“……”Thinking of this, Jiro Tanaka couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.
He took off his bathrobe, put on a suit, and was about to climb out of the window triumphantly.
However, at this moment, he turned around and caught a glimpse of the bedroom door.
At that moment, it was as if a stream of ice water poured into his spine, and he froze on the spot.
…The bedroom door was pushed open without me noticing.
There were five or six people crowded at the door.
Everyone was looking at him with complicated expressions, watching him transform from "Tanaka Taro" to the gentle and refined "Tanaka Jiro".
“…”
Jiro Tanaka was holding the balled-up bathrobe in his hand. He felt as if a divine beast was stepping over his heart and anxious smoke seemed to be coming out of his head.
"You actually..." His legs softened and he wanted to kneel down. But before that, his strong desire to survive made him stand up straight again - thinking on the bright side, these people might have just come upstairs.
As long as he operates properly, he can also change the script to something like "The elder brother just went back to the second floor to sleep, while the younger brother has been staying in the bedroom and refused to show up because of social phobia"... He hasn't lost yet!
Tanaka Jiro took a deep breath and said calmly, "Who are you? Why did you break into someone else's house without permission?!"
Jiang Xia sighed: "Probably to find the body."
As he spoke, he had already walked into the house.
Then, under Jiro Tanaka's nervous gaze, he suddenly raised his hand and pushed the corpse on the shoulder.
The body fell forward lifelessly.
Just as it was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Xia grabbed its shoulders and pushed it back onto the chair.
Jiro Tanaka looked as if he had eaten countless flies.
As he stared at her with a distorted expression, Jiang Xia raised her head and gave him a kind smile: "Found it."
“…”
Silent gaze.
A second later, Jiro Tanaka suddenly shouted...
He rushed to the window, intending to escape through it.
——There are so many policemen at the door, you’d be a fool not to run.
Seeing this scene, the young detectives gathered at the door were shocked. After a moment, several of them raised their hands to cover their eyes and turned around skillfully, unable to bear to watch.
The next second, there was a loud "bang" in the room.
——Jiang Xia dodged and came behind Tanaka Jiro. He grabbed the collar of the murderous guy and raised his hand skillfully, throwing him to the ground.
As the man fell, Jiang Xia subconsciously stepped on him with one foot and grabbed the baton with his other hand.
After a moment, he silently let go of her hand.
“……”I almost forgot, there seemed to be a policeman nearby.
Can’t play now.
He sighed in his heart, took a half step back regretfully, and let go of the person he was stepping on.
Then he turned around as if nothing had happened and met the complicated gazes of the policemen.
"..." Jiang Xia bent down, picked up the dizzy Tanaka Jiro from the ground, and patted the footprints on his shoulder in a friendly manner.
"..."Although there is less fruit picking process, fortunately the result is the same - when Tanaka Jiro is arrested, the ghost on his leg will fall off.
