Chapter 2119 2127 [Triplets]
The young policeman took the order and ran away.
Seeing this, Taichi Fuzawa, the eldest of the three brothers, stepped forward with a smile and said, "I also have an alibi, but I don't know if it counts."
Inspector Yokomizo looked at this guy and thought he didn't look like a filial son: "You tell me first."
Taichi Tomizawa: "It's in my villa. Let's go and take a look."
The group then followed him to the villa of the Tozawa family next door.
Tomizawa kept running to the landline: "There should be a message from me on this phone."
The police had encountered this kind of physical evidence many times when solving cases, and they opened the recording mailbox skillfully.
Soon an electronic voice sounded: "There are currently two phone messages."
The first call released was the one that Tozawa Yuzo made in front of Jiang Xia and the others at around 3:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon.
The second message was from Taichi Tozawa: "Hello? Dad, it's Taichi - the Air-to-Air team finally won! Thanks to Murasaki's ball in the bottom of the sixth inning, and the home run to right field... Oh, no more words! Let's talk when we meet tomorrow."
After he finished his message, an electronic voice announced the time of the message: "Recording time 11:34 p.m."
This time sounded more and more familiar, and Inspector Yokomizo frowned: "Isn't this the time when the crime happened?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "When we were about to go to bed, the clock on the wall showed half past eleven. It was around that time that someone was trying to murder Chairman Fu Ze outside the window."
Tomizawa Tatsuji: "The murderer is definitely not my eldest brother. How can someone kill someone and then leave a message calmly? Besides, I also followed the game. It was only broadcast live on satellite TV, and the game ended at around 11:25. If you didn't stay in front of the TV, you wouldn't know the result of the game."
Inspector Yokomizo pressed his forehead and had no choice but to send his subordinates to say, "Go to the TV station to verify what he said."
Another young policeman took the order and ran away.
Fortunately, there are not many murders in Izu. After receiving the call and hearing that there was a case here, a large group of people came and they still had enough manpower after sending out the troops.
Fu Ze Taichi didn't seem to be afraid of the investigation at all, and what he said seemed to be the truth. He turned to his second brother, and the two rebellious sons started chatting: "Since the murderer is neither me nor you, then..."
The two turned to look at Tomizawa Yuzo: "Why did you kill Dad?"
Tomizawa Yuzo: "...I already told you I didn't kill him!"
Inspector Yokomizo then remembered that he almost forgot to ask this guy with a low sense of presence for his alibi. He quickly added as if nothing had happened: "What about you? What were you doing last night?"
Tomizawa Yuzo stammered, "I, I was in the studio adjusting the illustrations last night."
Inspector Yokomizo's eyes suddenly became suspicious.
Tomizawa Yuzo broke out in a cold sweat. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally found something that might serve as an alibi:
"Oh, by the way, I was very sleepy yesterday, so I took a nap. I was afraid that the alarm clock alone wouldn't be enough to wake me up, so I asked another illustrator friend to call me at a certain time to wake me up, so that we could stay up late together to finish the manuscript."
As he spoke, he became cheerful: "That call happened at exactly half past eleven! I was talking to a friend on the phone at 11:30 last night. It's impossible for me to call my dad at the same time, right? So I have an alibi too!"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Yokomizo waved his hand and assigned a policeman to him: "Go check it out."
Policeman No. 3 also took the order and ran out.
At this moment, No. 1 came back. This policeman who went out first shouted as he walked in: "Inspector! We checked the boarding list for today and found out..."
He lowered his voice, and as Inspector Yokomizo listened, his expression became strange.
After listening to this, Inspector Yokomizo looked at Tatsuji Tozawa.
Tomizawa Tatsuji suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He forced himself to say, "What's wrong? I was right, wasn't I? I flew to Okinawa yesterday and just came back today."
Inspector Yokomizo sneered: "Your name is indeed on the passenger list, but the plane from Okinawa to here was delayed due to the typhoon and just landed 10 minutes ago - in other words, you didn't take that flight at all, but your name was added to it somehow!"
Tomizawa Tatsuji's heart skipped a beat.
Inspector Yokomizo walked towards him menacingly: "So can you tell the truth now - where were you and what were you doing at 11:30 last night?"
“I, I…”
Fuze Tatsuji was so panicked that he finally shouted, "I didn't go to Okinawa yesterday. I went to Tokyo. OK! - I was at my fiancée's house the whole time!"
Inspector Yokomizo was stunned for a moment when he was called out like that: "Your fiancée?"
Tomizawa Tatsuji nodded tiredly and said, "I was originally going to Okinawa on a business trip for the company, but my fiancée fell ill before I left, so I changed my route temporarily to take care of her.
"My father has always disliked her because of her poor family background. If he knew that I gave up my job for my fiancée, I don't know how angry he would be. So I asked someone to pretend to be me and went to Okinawa... My fiancée can prove that I was with her the whole time last night."
Jiang Xia kindly reminded: "The alibi provided by close people is sometimes not very credible."
After hearing what the famous detective said, Tozawa Tatsuji's forehead was covered with cold sweat even more, and he could only think frantically like his poor third brother.
Then he actually thought of it: "Oh, right, I just mentioned the result of the game in detail! - At 11:30 last night, even the news didn't mention the game. I only found out about it when I changed the channel and watched TV at my fiancée's house."
At this time, the second police officer who was sent out also came back. He had just been ordered to check the status of the TV and radio.
Professionally matched, Policeman No. 2 said confidently: "According to my previous investigation, the earliest news report on the results of the game appeared around 12 o'clock in the morning. In addition..."
He glanced at Taichi Tomizawa and said, "When Mugure hit the home run last night, the TV broadcast was interrupted due to emergency news. That scene should not have appeared on TV."
——And everyone remembered that in the phone message just now, Taichi Tozawa praised Murasakibara's home run to his father, as if he had really seen it.
As the number of suspicious guys increased, Inspector Yokomizo immediately looked at Taichi Tozawa and said, "So you didn't watch TV at all yesterday? What were you doing during that time?"
This time, it was Taichi Tomizawa's turn to sweat profusely.
Suzuki Sonoko whispered to Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan: "...As expected of three brothers, even the way they wipe their sweat is the same."
As it turned out, the three brothers were almost equally good at patching up their testimonies.
Tomizawa Taichi also gave up and sighed: "Okay, I lied - I didn't watch the broadcast last night, but heard it on the radio."
