Chapter 2136 2147 [The most sought-after person in the Uzo camp] Asking for a monthly ticketヽ(〃〃)~
Hashimoto Maya continued: "After entering the mask hall, we suddenly heard screams and some chaotic movements, and then the west door opened, and everyone rushed over one after another."
Inspector Megure listened and took notes, but he felt like he missed something. After a moment, he remembered and looked at the rock singer: "You also live on the same side as Jiangxia and the others, right? Why didn't you move with them?"
The rock singer sighed, "The other guests were staying on the second floor, and my room was on the first floor, so I had no idea what was going on upstairs. Later, I heard them go to the next door to look for the maid, so I got up and followed them to see what was going on."
Others also quickly clarified. The photographer said, "I was sleeping at the time, but then I heard a commotion outside, so I went out to take a look. I happened to see our maid going to the mask room to open the door, so I followed her."
Baseball player: "Me too!"
Fortune Teller: "Me too."
Naoko Torimaru remembered that there was a trail of tails following her and nodded to confirm that it was indeed the case.
Everyone had a story about their itinerary, whether true or false, with one exception.
Inspector Megure looked at the secretary, his eyes sharpened: "What about you? You didn't show up last night?"
The secretary was shocked: "I drank too much last night, so I slept too soundly and didn't hear anything - I'm innocent!"
"Hmm..." Inspector Megure narrowed his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.
The secretary also knew that her situation was critical. She gritted her teeth and decisively used a trick to divert the trouble. She suddenly looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Mrs. Su Fang had a secret meeting with Mr. Jiang Xia for a while last night!"
Hashimoto Maya: “?!” You don’t want to say that Jiang Xia is the murderer!
Fortunately, the secretary changed the subject: "I remember that after the dinner, Mrs. Su Fang was very concerned about a guest. Not long after that, she asked the maid to invite Jiang Xia - there must be something wrong with that guest. Maybe he is the murderer!"
Inspector Megure was shocked and looked at Jiang Xia: "Is there such a thing?"
Jiang Xia nodded. Although detectives have a principle of confidentiality, now that the client is dead, there is no need to care about this detail: "Mrs. Sufang wants me to investigate the photographer Mr. Katagiri. It seems that his wife died in a traffic accident 20 years ago. Mrs. Sufang is very concerned about this matter."
The photographer was stunned and asked in surprise: "Investigating my wife, why?"
Jiang Xia: "I'm curious too, do you have any idea?"
The photographer looked away in panic: "Of course not!"
Jiang Xia began to expand the battlefield and looked at the rock singer: "I remember that something happened in your family 20 years ago?"
Everyone remembered what had just been mentioned at dinner yesterday - the rock singer's mother, who was also an old friend of Mrs. Sufang, was imprisoned 20 years ago for hitting someone with her car and died shortly afterwards.
One was hit and killed, and the other was hit and killed by someone else, both happened 20 years ago.
It's somewhat coincidental.
Inspector Megure suddenly had an association: "Could this be the same thing?"
The photographer's expression changed slightly.
After a moment of stalemate, he sighed and said, "Forget it. You will find out sooner or later anyway. In this case, I will just tell you straight out - my wife was killed by Mr. Lanchuan's mother."
The rock singer looked shocked. Twenty years ago, he was just six years old and should have been an elementary school student who knew nothing.
The 40-something photographer noticed that everyone was looking at him, and he came back to his senses from the sad past: "Whatever happened 20 years ago, it has nothing to do with what happened today! - By the way, Mrs. Sufang died so tragically, the murderer must have been splashed with a lot of liquid at the time, and that person must have changed his clothes before he could appear in front of us. And I remember that the only person who didn't show up at that time was the secretary!"
The secretary didn't expect that after a lot of detours, the suspicion would come back. She said in horror: "...I, I really didn't kill anyone!"
While the group of people were passing the buck to each other, Jiang Xia silently retreated to the side of the two maids. He looked at Torimaru Naoko and asked in a low voice: "I remember there was another door on the wall next to the crime scene. What does the room behind that door look like and where does it lead to?"
Torimaru Naoko rolled her eyes and lowered her voice: "I'll take you to see it."
…Finally she found a chance to be alone!
While Maya Hashimoto was still staring at the suspects and guarding against the ball of suspicion being kicked back at him suddenly, Naoko Torimaru took Jiang Xia out in a good mood.
After taking two steps, she suddenly felt something was wrong—someone was following her.
...That abominable minion with complicated beliefs is haunting us.
Naoko Torimaru couldn't help but glance back with anger in her eyes.
Then I found out that it was Masumi Takamori who followed closely.
Naoko Torimaru looked at this stupid teammate: "..."
The corner of her eye jumped: "Go back and wait, in case the police have other things to do."
Takamori Masumi said "oh" and turned back happily: She didn't want to follow Jiang Xia either, but there were too many policemen here, she was a little nervous, and subconsciously followed Toramaru Naoko.
Now that she had come to her senses, she felt like an outlaw and immediately backed away from Jiang Xia.
Naoko Torimaru sighed silently and led Jiang Xia upstairs. Although there were many police officers in the house, with Jiang Xia there, no one stopped them from wandering around, and they had a smooth journey.
When they reached the second floor, there were fewer people. Naoko Torimaru took out the detector from her fluffy skirt and operated it quickly.
After confirming that there were no eavesdropping devices around, she quickly pulled Jiang Xia in as she passed the corner: "I have something to tell you."
Torimaru Naoko is no longer the same as before. She was about to confess her identity, but Jiang Xia looked at her and spoke first: "It seems that you are living well here."
Torimaru Naoko: “?!”
She, she had deliberately changed her gait and posture, and had disguised her voice perfectly, and even tried hard to remind Takamori Masumi to do the same thing...but Jiang Xia actually recognized her so quickly? They hadn't even been in front of Jiang Xia for too long!
Torimaru Naoko was slightly surprised, but then she felt relieved: such a reliable person turned out to be her teammate. This was really... wonderful!
I originally thought that it would take more time to explain, and I would have to find a way to make Jiang Xia believe and understand the current situation, but now it seems that all this can be omitted.
This greatly soothed Naoko Torimaru's heart, which had been hurt by her stupid teammates over time.
——It would be great if all my teammates were people like Jiang Xia.
For a moment, a loyal yet not so loyal subordinate expressed the same sentiment as one of her colleagues.
