Tokyo: There's something wrong with this narration!

Chapter 161 160·Murderer

In addition to Oba Shuichi, Kojima Seiko also agreed,

"Yes, Kuraki-kun, you are a detective. You should not let a murderer hide among us."

Everyone else turned their attention to Bai Chuan, with doubts, expectations, and trepidation.

"Yes, I think Mr. Oba and Miss Kojima Akiko are right."

Before Shirakawa could finish speaking, middle-aged lawyer Hiromi Ichimura interrupted him.
"Do we really want to leave our destiny to a young man? He is just a college student. What right does he have to exercise power on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department?"

The lawyer seems to be wary of young detectives, probably because he hates the fact that there are always detectives who challenge some legal bottom lines in solving cases.

Engineer Tokuji Furuta said he sided with the lawyers.

Journalist Keisuke Koyama also agreed with what his friend Hiromi Ichimura said.

Until Shirakawa took out the ID of the Special Advisor of the Metropolitan Police Department,
"To be precise, I am also part of the Metropolitan Police Department, so I can indeed exercise power on behalf of the police officers at certain times, but investigating cases is not a right, it should be regarded as an obligation, or a charity. If you are not willing , I won’t force it.”

I'll check it out myself quietly.

Bai Chuan added in his heart.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the old gentleman Oba Shuichi proposed the decision to vote anonymously.

As a result of the vote, 9 people supported Baichuan's on-site investigation and 6 people opposed it.

Based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority, everyone decided to let Bai Chuan investigate this case.

"Since it is your decision, then please abide by my rules."

Bai Chuan stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.

"Until the murderer is caught, please stay here and don't act alone."

This time no one objected to Shirakawa's proposal.

"Nishi Junji died from drowning. The time of death was between 6:40 and 7:40. The first crime scene was the bathroom in his bedroom."

Bai Chuan sat down and waved to the butler, "Can you prepare some coffee?"

"can."

Butler Hideyuki Tanimoto turned and left.

Bai Chuan believed that the murderer would never take action against the butler in such a short period of time. After all, the murderer might want to use the rules of the Manor to kill people, and the person who obeyed the most rules happened to be Mr. Butler.

"Kuragi-kun, there's no need to bother. Since we already know that the time of death is between 6:40 and 7:40, I just need to tell you what you were doing during this time and who was with Nishi Toshi-kun during this time. Then who is the murderer?"

The blond John said.

"Haha, most people don't have alibi during this period. For example, I was alone in the room."

sneered the modern poet Keiji Yajima.

"But it's also a good reference, so let me take the lead and tell you what I'm doing during this time."

Oba Shuichi said,

"After dinner, Lawyer Ichimura and I took a walk in the rose garden. We actually wanted to look for clues in the garden. We did not see Toshijun Nishi in the rose garden, so he should have been taken to the rose garden after his death. , and the city and village lawyers and I can also serve as each other’s witnesses.”

Lawyer Ichimura nodded, "Yes, Mr. Oba and I have been looking for clues to the treasure in the garden."

"What did you find?"

Kuramoto asked tomorrow.

Lawyer Ichimura frowned, "This has nothing to do with the case, right?"

Kuramoto was choked tomorrow and his face didn't look good.

"After eating, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I went to find Dr. Seo, hoping he could help me."

"Yes, I can vouch for Miss Kuramoto."

Dr. Seo said.

The doctor's wife Hanada Shizuru looked at her husband and Miss Kuramoto, recalling the scene just now. She vaguely felt that her husband was hiding something from her, but she did not think about her husband's cheating.

"I was resting in my room, so... no one can prove it."

Hanada Jingliu said with his head lowered.

"My sister and I are always together."

John said with a smile.

Sally nodded and held her brother's hand, "Yes, we have always been together."

Bai Chuan sighed, hoping they were half-brothers and sisters, otherwise they would feel awkward no matter how they looked at them.

"Myself."

Gu Tianfu, a muscular man with a sinewy face and tattoos on his arms, kept his words concise and to the point. He also had no witnesses.

"I was thinking about new poetry in my room, and Miss Kojima inspired me, but I haven't written it yet."

Yajima Keiji said, the implication is that he is also a person, in YY Miss Kojima.

Anyone who understands understands, so modern poet Yajima Keiji received a few eye rolls.

"The time I went upstairs after dinner was 6:30. Before 6:40, I rested alone in the room. After 6:40, I made an appointment with Miss Tashiro to catch up with the past. In fact, we are old friends."

Tokuji Furuta lowered his head and said, he seemed a little inferior in front of so many glamorous people.

"Yes, I was with my boyfriend Nishi Toshijun before 6:40, and we had dinner at 6:3. At that time, he invited me to explore the taboo room [-], but I was timid, so I didn't I dared to go in, so I said goodbye to Nishi Toshi-kun and went to see my old friend Furuta-kun."

Except for the innocent Mei Chiyuki and the full-time wife Shizuru Hanada, everyone else seemed to understand what the two meant by "reminiscing about the past". Kojima Seiko looked at the two with contempt in her eyes.

Although she is a female anchor, Kojima Akiko hates those women who are in the sex business. Especially in recent years, many such women have joined the live broadcast industry, which makes her feel that her reputation has been affected and has ruined the entire industry. Industry ethos.

Kojima Zizi also hates men who are submissive in real life, but secretly look for slutty women.

"At this time, I am with Kuraki-kun."

Kojima Zizi had just finished speaking, and everyone's eyes were focused on her and Bai Chuan.

Except for the quiet Qianyuki Mei, she knew that the two of them had no extraordinary behavior.

Bai Chuan nodded, "Yes, Miss Kojima is thanking me because I did a good deed." Bai Chuan also did not reveal the matter of Kojima Zizi's sister. Obviously Kojima Zizi did not explain, which meant that she did not want to Others know that it may have something to do with the girl's reputation.

"I went to the forest to hunt for treasure, and there should be no one who can testify for me."

Reporter Keisuke Koyama said.

"I'm resting alone in my room."

Qianxue Meiyi whispered.

The butler also came back from the kitchen at this time and handed the coffee to Bai Chuan.

Baichuan asked while drinking coffee to relieve his mental fatigue,

"Mr. Butler, what were you doing between 6:40 and 7:40?"

"Because of Miss Kojima's proposal, I am preparing for the dance."

Hideyuki Tanimoto said with a serious face.

Bai Chuan judged from his eyes that he was not lying.

This is very strange. Apart from the deceased's girlfriend, the only person who can enter the deceased's room is Mr. Tanimoto, the housekeeper.

"Mr. Tanimoto, did you give anyone else a spare key?"

Bai Chuan asked.

"No."

Hideyuki Tanimoto said with great certainty.

Bai Chuan nodded.

"So, only Mrs. Hanada, Ms. Chiyuki, Mr. Koyama, Mr. Yajima, Mr. Tanimoto, and Mr. Fu Tanita have no alibi."

Shuichi Oba concluded.

"But that doesn't rule out someone lying."

Reporter Keisuke Koyama said.

Oba Shuichi looked at Shirakawa.

Bai Chuan looked at the coffee and considered whether to test everyone, so that it would be very easy to catch the murderer.

But his intuition told him that this case was not difficult, and he could not rely too much on identification skills.

He has finished a whole cup of coffee, which should last for 30 minutes. The effect of ordinary coffee is getting smaller and smaller, and spiritual coffee is precious. When ordinary coffee can be used instead, it is better to reduce the frequency of spiritual coffee. .

Because the heartbeat value plays a very important role, in addition to redeeming spiritual coffee, blind box clues and later system upgrades are also needed.

Therefore, every motivation point needs to be spent on the edge.

Converging his thoughts, Bai Chuan analyzed,

"It is impossible for Mrs. Hanada and Mei-san to push a man like Shunji Nishi into the bathtub until he suffocates to death. The murderer must be a man, and his strength exceeds that of Shunji Nishi."

"That's definitely Mr. Tanitafu!"

Kuramoto Asuka exclaimed.

She had long felt that Gu Tianfu was very scary and tall, which fit the image of a murderer.

Kojima Zizi and Mrs. Hanada also showed horrified expressions. They obviously felt that only Tanita Fu matched Shirakawa's description.

Bai Chuan shook his head. The person who looks most like the murderer is often not the real murderer.

"It is not ruled out that two people committed the crime together, so that each other can not only have an alibi, but also meet the conditions of being completely stronger than Nishi Shunji."

Bai Chuan said slowly.

"What? Two people committing a crime together?"

The focus of attention instantly shifted from the individual with no alibi to the group with the testimony of the two people getting along.

Professor Shuichi Oba and lawyer Hiromi Ichimura, doctor Masao Seo and makeup artist Asuka Kuramoto, engineers Tokuji Furuta and Yoriko Tashiro, as well as John and Sally, and Shirakawa and Kojima Seiko.

"Kuragi-kun, so you yourself are also suspected."

The lawyer smiled teasingly.

Bai Chuan glanced at the different expressions of everyone, and finally locked his eyes on brother and sister John.
"Mr. John, Miss Sally, you must be the murderers."

"Hahaha, Kuraki-kun is really good at joking. How could my sister and I be the murderers? We like Nishi-Toshi-kun very much."

60% of the people present knew what happened on the passenger ship between John, Sally, Shunji Nishi, and Yoriko Tashiro, because they were very high-profile and loud.

"Yeah, how could they be brother and sister John? They have that kind of relationship."

"Is there a mistake? Kuraki-kun?"

"Yes, brother and sister John have no motive for killing at all."

The crowd was talking a lot, Baichuan gave the butler a look, and the butler shook the bell to signal everyone to be quiet.

Bai Chuan continued,

"You did have an in-depth communication that night. It was precisely because of that night that I doubted you."

"why?"

John still maintained a confident smile, while Sally squeezed John's arm nervously. Her mental quality was obviously not as good as John's.

Shirakawa turned around and looked at Qianxue Mei,
"Mei-chan, have you figured it out?"

Qianxue Meiyi bit her lip and nodded,
"So it is."

As expected of a smart top student, she has a talent for solving crimes.

Bai Chuan suddenly thought so.

But if she wanted Chiyuki Mei to tell the truth in front of so many people, she would never be able to do it because of social fear.

Kojima Zizi frowned, "Kuragi-kun, can you explain something more clearly?"
