Chapter 3344 3356 [Quiet Belmode] Ask for monthly ticket ()
The silver-haired man said in frustration, "When I was waiting in line upstairs, I suddenly realized I forgot my phone, so I hurried back to the car to get it. As soon as I opened the door, I saw it, saw..."
He sighed, not knowing whether he felt that if they hadn't left, his drunk friend in the car wouldn't have been strangled, or that if he hadn't forgotten his cell phone, he wouldn't have become a suspect.
Sure enough, his worries were not in vain. After hearing what he said, Inspector Megure's next words were: "In other words, you could just pretend to get your phone and then strangle him when you get back to the car."
"Absolutely not!" the silver-haired man said anxiously, "Didn't you just say that he was strangled to death just as we got off the bus? I remembered I forgot to take my phone, but it was at least half an hour later!"
"Really?" Inspector Megure muttered, looking inside his silver Porsche.
Suddenly, he found something in the armrest box: "What is this box?"
"That's a music box!" The silver-haired man quickly understood what Inspector Megure was referring to. "One of the pins is broken, so I wanted to get it repaired, but I haven't had the time."
Inspector Megure twisted the music box twice and heard a clear sound coming from it: "It still works, but..."
But this kind of thing probably won't kill you.
...Bai discovered it.
He was silent for a moment, then silently put the music box back to its place.
Jiang Xia noticed the hardworking police captain's embarrassment, so he considerately turned to the next person and asked the owner of the Porsche 356A, "What about you?"
The owner of the Porsche, who drives the same model as Gin, is tall, has dark skin, thick lips, and fine curly hair. He looks like a mixed-race person.
However, he spoke fluent Japanese. He glanced at the motionless drunken body in the passenger seat and said regretfully:
"My name is Hotei Eiji. I met this chaperone, Mr. Hotei, when we were racing on the top of a mountain. But that was when we were young. As I got older, I became more interested in collecting these old Porsche models than racing."
He pointed to his beloved dark green car and said, "So I bought this Porsche 356A, which was manufactured 50 years ago. Look at these charming lines and the craftsmanship that has accumulated history..."
…
Chianti: [Hahahahahahaha]
The sniper looked quite idle, typing the same word several times before saying, "Gin, is this the actor Uzo specially hired to play you? — Look at the tone and look in his eyes when he mentioned this car. It's exactly like you."
Cohen silently smoothed things over. Although Gin usually didn't bother to talk to Chianti, what if he was in a bad mood today? "This car is indeed a car with rich heritage and is very popular. This kind of coincidence is actually quite normal."
Another corner of Tokyo.
Gin held a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at the live broadcast, with a faint murderous aura around him that was not too strong.
He certainly didn't take Uzo's childish teasing to heart: it had been a while since he'd "ran into" this guy, and in this situation, it would have been even more unusual for Uzo to just sit there and do nothing.
In comparison, there is another thing that is more concerning - Vermouth did not even take the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks. Isn't this woman's presence abnormally low recently?
Some intuition told him that this annoying mystic was probably secretly planning something behind the scenes.
"Although Vermouth often breaks the rules, she's not the kind of person who's too bold. I don't think she'll cause any big trouble. I'll let Vodka check it out someday."
Gin stubbed out his cigarette and quickly found a new job for the subordinate who was free to open the market: "Watching Uzo all day long, huh, it seems his job is too easy after all."
…
How busy Vodka is remains to be assessed.
On the other hand, a well-deserved model worker was working tirelessly on the scene to collect clues for Jiang Xia.
Inspector Megure climbed into the Porsche 356A and searched it. Soon, his eyes fell on the back seat - there was a large box there.
"What's in here?" As he spoke, he took the box to the front seat and opened it to check.
Mixed-blood man: "Just some fishing gear."
The box lid was opened, and inside were indeed various fishing gears. Inspector Megure took a quick look and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He reached out his gloved hand and pulled out a palm-sized metal device. "This is an electric reel. If we use this, it shouldn't be difficult to automatically tighten the fishing line and strangle the deceased's neck."
The mixed-race man was stunned and quickly defended himself, "I didn't do such a thing! - Besides, I was queuing upstairs just now. I heard that there was a murder here, so I hurried down with Miss Taishan. During the whole process, I didn't go back to my car, let alone touch this fishing tackle box.
"Look, there's no fishing line wrapped around this automatic reel, and it's still in its box. How could it be the murder weapon?"
Inspector Megure: “…” Well, I have to admit that there is some truth to this.
He took a look at this thing that looked like a murder prop, and then secretly glanced at Jiang Xia.
Seeing that Jiang Xia was not very interested in this thing, Inspector Megure could only sigh, put the automatic winder back in its place, and prepare to check the next car.
The last car belonged to Taishan Xun, the only female among the four.
"I should be the last one to get off the bus." Taishan Xun recalled the order in which everyone got off the bus:
"I was sitting relatively close to the back, and I was wearing a skirt underneath my coat, so I had to maneuver to get to the side of the car, so I got out a little slower than the others. But I didn't kill anyone, and we had just finished playing golf, so my fingers were shaking from exhaustion, so I didn't have the energy to secretly strangle someone."
Inspector Megure nodded. "Then how did you meet this Mr. Banba? What's your relationship like?"
"It's just an ordinary friendship." Taishanxun said:
"We met in a golf parking lot. Mr. Banchang is a Porsche fanatic. He recognized my newly launched Porsche BOX and liked it very much. He asked me to chat. It's rare for me to meet someone who likes both golf and Porsches. We became close friends as we chatted."
Inspector Megure opened the car door while listening to her.
Then he discovered that, like the two people before her, this lady also had something in her car.
He leaned closer curiously: "What is this thing on your passenger seat?"
