Chapter 663 Alibi
Inspector Megure sighed slightly in his heart. It was rare for him to feel that his younger brother was a little unreliable, and he couldn't help but worry - would brother Kamiya become like brother Mori?
Don't do this! One "confused" detective like Maori is enough, there is no need for another one!
Well, although brother Maori is still reliable at critical moments.
Here, Takagi Shigeru made a new discovery. The victim seemed to have talked to someone on the phone at around 2 o'clock at the time of the incident, and there were records on his mobile phone.
Inspector Megure's expression froze. Could this be a new clue?
Before he could ask more, Kasakura Nakai took the initiative to speak: "Well, it could be me? My cell phone suddenly rang while I was watching a movie, and I hung up in a hurry because I was worried about disturbing others, and I also turned off the power..."
Inspector Megure hummed and looked at Shiratori Renzaburo: "What do you remember about this incident?"
Shiratori Renzaburo rubbed his head a little embarrassedly: "At that time... I think I accidentally fell asleep?"
Inspector Megure sighed helplessly and turned to look at Yuya: "Brother Kamiya, what about you?"
Yuya touched his chin and said, "Hmm... I seem to have some impression? I did see the light of the phone in the middle, and it also showed Ms. Kasakura's hat. Maybe it was emitted when she hung up the phone and turned it off?"
But it's a bit strange. Most people take off their hats when they go indoors, right? Why does she keep wearing it? Even now. Yuya glanced at Kasakura Nami's hat with a deep gaze.
Could it be that below is... the Mediterranean Sea?
Tuanzi stood on Youya's shoulder and nodded her little head vigorously.
Yuya smiled and patted its head and said, "Dumpling said the same thing."
Inspector Megure was speechless for a moment. Can the words of animals be used as testimony?
Inspector Megure pondered and said, "If it was really the victim who called, it can be used as an alibi."
"Also, the movie time is around 1 to 3 p.m., right?"
Shiratori Renzaburo nodded: "Yes, the more accurate time is..." He took out his manual from the inner pocket of his coat, opened a page and said, "Starting at 1:05 pm..."
Suddenly, a white paper flower fell out of the manual and landed on the ground.
Yuya took a quick glance with a subtle expression: This flower looks like the paper flower wrapped around the cup of Coke that Miss Kasakura gave to Inspector Shiratori as compensation?
Inspector Shiratori really fell in love with the girl and even picked one to keep. Is this what they call love at first sight?
Unfortunately, Miss Kasakura already has a boyfriend - although this boyfriend is dead.
Shiratori Renzaburo squatted down naturally and picked up the paper flowers, without stopping his mouth: "Until 2:50, the length of the film is 1 hour and 45 minutes."
After that, he carefully tucked the paper flower into the manual, closed it, and continued, "But just in case, let Takagi go to the cinema to confirm whether Miss Kasakura has left. There are also some things that I am concerned about."
Inspector Megure looked at Takagi Wataru and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Takagi."
After watching Takagi Wataru leave, Shiratori Renzaburo said to Kasakura Nakai, "Then let's take advantage of this time to check the room."
Inspector Megure agreed, "Is that right? If it was really done by a stalker, there might be a bug or hidden camera in the room."
Kasakura Nakai naturally had no reason to refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
Inspector Megure and Shiratori Jinsaburo checked the room but found no bugs or cameras.
While they were checking, Miyano Shiho pulled Yuya's sleeve and said, "So, the murderer is indeed Miss Kasakura?"
Yuya pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Miyano Shiho said with empty eyes: "Because the way you looked at her just now was the way you would look at a murderer."
Yuya was stunned: "Is it that obvious?"
Miyano Shiho smiled slightly and said proudly, "Maybe not, but it can't be hidden from my eyes."
You was also confused, but nodded gently: "Don't you think your position in the cinema was weird?"
Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, and recalled: "Her seat was right next to Inspector Shiratori's. The two of them sat in the middle of the front row, separated from the back row by an aisle, right in front of us, right? Is there anything wrong with this?"
Yuya said: "We were watching a romance movie, and there were many couples in the cinema, but why were the seats on both sides of their seats empty?"
Miyano Shiho said as a matter of course: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
Yuya nodded slightly, this is indeed possible, and continued: "And the Inspector Shiratori who happened to meet her today, and the two of us have become her alibi."
"No, we two followed here secretly. To be precise, the only one who had the alibi was Inspector Shiratori."
Miyano Shiho frowned slightly: "But didn't you say you saw it? She was in the cinema when the crime happened."
Yuya smiled mysteriously: "Yeah, I actually saw it clearly... her hat!"
Miyano Shiho's pupils shrank slightly: "Wait, do you mean..."
Yuya made a hushing gesture, glanced at Shiratori Renzaburo, and said softly, "Don't worry, I think Inspector Shiratori should have noticed this, so he asked Officer Takagi to investigate at the cinema."
"And the evidence is probably on her."
The room was quickly inspected.
Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "At present, it seems that Ms. Kasakura's alibi is indeed valid. No bugs or cameras were found in the room, and there were no signs of a stalker..."
He was a little troubled for a moment and looked at his younger brother out of habit.
But he didn't expect Youya to shrug at him and set his eyes on Shiratori Renzaburo.
Inspector Megure looked over and saw Shiratori Rensaburo talking to Kasakura Nami, seemingly trying to comfort her.
Couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Inspector Megure's cell phone rang. It was Takagi Wataru calling.
However, the results of the survey were somewhat disappointing.
Because there were so many people leaving to go to the bathroom, and because it was a holiday, there were so many people in the cinema that the staff could not remember who had left during the movie.
Just when Inspector Megure was about to say something, Shiratori Jinsaburo suddenly took the phone from him.
"Takagi, there should be a trash can on that floor, right?"
Takagi Shigeru looked around and soon found the trash can. There was someone changing the trash bag inside.
Shiratori Renzaburo said, "Go look in the garbage bag. There should be a cup with a cherry blossom-shaped decoration made of straw paper on it."
