Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 414 The First Crime Scene
  "I'll leave first. Leave this to the police."

In the spirit of professional people doing professional things, Fujiwara planned to evacuate first. After all, he didn't remember the plot of this case. He didn't even know if it was a plot. He just thought he had seen it somewhere.

But when I think about myself traveling through three years and forgetting a lot of things, it's normal. After all, who can remember so many things in such detail?

Just a few steps out of the murder room, Furuhata Rensaburo stopped Fujiwara Hoshikai with words.

"Wait a minute, where are Detective Fujiwara going?"

He just had some ideas and wanted to exchange opinions with the number one disciple known as Sleeping Kogoro, but he saw that the other party was about to evacuate, so he stopped him.

Fujiwara turned around and politely replied, "I'm going to the hotel lobby to have something to eat. Will Officer Furahata come too?"

Furuhata Rensaburo looked at him suspiciously for a second, and then he showed a relieved smile, "Okay, let's talk while eating. I've heard about Detective Fujiwara's name for a long time, but I haven't asked you much for advice."

"Officer Furuhata, you are too polite. I have also heard of your name. You are said to be the savior of the Metropolitan Police Department. What do you call a gentleman detective?"

"Where, where."

After the two left, Ayanokouji convened and immediately confirmed that it was a homicide, so he immediately announced that this case was not simple. Anyone and anything related to the referee would be subject to police investigation, and called the person in charge of the shogi competition into the room. , asking about the dead referee’s life story and various things that happened yesterday.

It is a very simple but very efficient thing to learn about the deceased's life history by asking social connections. After all, there are only so many purposes for people to kill, which are nothing more than emotional disputes and interests.

"You are the head of the referee team, right? Can I ask about Negishi Ryuji's penalty level? Has there been any cheating in the past that changed the outcome of the game?"

The leader of the referee team was very excited and swore that Nakata was definitely the fairest and most dedicated referee under him. He had never missed a call or made a mistake in more than 30 years of service.

"Okay, how is he doing in private? Does he have the habit of taking a bath after drinking?" Although someone has just told me that the referee himself is
  "Sorry, I really don't know about this, but Nakata is quite stable and would not do such a risky thing. What's more, he is hosting a game today. With his personality, it is unlikely that he would drink and take a bath."

Officer Megure also realized that the murderer might be the person related to today.

"Can you tell me more about the competition? For example, things that are different from the past, the players or other things in the venue."

According to normal logic, players participating in the game are very likely to have a dispute with the referee, but I just said that the referee is fair, so there must be an accident yesterday.

"Yesterday? Let me think about it..."

Unlike the intense interrogation over there, Fujiwara and Furuhata Rensaburo were much quieter in the lobby and restaurant.

The two of them ate breakfast in silence and talked about what they had discovered during the incident.

"Detective Fujiwara, did you find anything that you think is wrong?" Furuhata Rensaburo, who had his tongue burnt by the hot porridge, suddenly said in order to cover up his embarrassment.

Fujiwara seemed not to notice. He blew on his hot porridge without rushing to drink it. After thinking for a while, he said, "If there is something wrong, I think the suit on the bed is quite strange." Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone put their suit in that way.” In an instant, Fujiwara seemed to suddenly understand something. A figure suddenly appeared in my mind. The man who had been persuading me to change into more comfortable clothes after the show yesterday, wearing a nondescript suit.

"Other than the first time, I don't know. Did Officer Furahata find anything?"

Although Fujiwara said he didn't know, it was probably Tanaka Yasuo who was playing against him in a kimono, and he actually saw him having a heated argument with the referee at the pool last night. The referee seemed to want to ask something.

However, as a shogi player, it was inconvenient for him to directly reveal what he just thought to the other party. He could only let others guess it. So before leaving, Fujiwara pointed to Tanaka Yasuo who was dining nearby, "Mr. Tanaka is known as the doctor of shogi. Mr. Furuhata just said You can talk to him about what you said. As someone who has been through it, he should know a little more than me."

"Okay, but Detective Fujiwara has a good appetite. You can eat as much as I can for a day by yourself."

Fujiwara was confused by this sudden metaphor, and then explained, "Reasoning and shogi are both mental activities. If you don't eat more, you won't have the energy to do them."

After watching Fujiwara Hoshikai leave, Furuhata Rensaburo thoughtfully walked to Tanaka Yasuo and tried to talk to him.

"Sir's kimono is very unique. Is it specially customized?"

Tanaka Yasuo didn't want to pay attention to the man, but when he heard the other man take the initiative to talk about kimonos, "Well, kimonos are handsome, but if you want to wear them better, you have to find high-end stores. It's easy to look down on cheap ones. "

"Well, I thought kimonos and suits were different. They both have to be customized. But in general, kimonos are more expensive."

Recalling the experience of folding suits in the referee's room last night, "What you said is wrong. Expensive has its advantages. Suits are uncomfortable to wear and difficult to stack."

Hearing the words "stacked", Rensaburo Furahata immediately grasped the key point, "stacked", and the suspicion in his heart instantly increased a lot.

Combined with the doubts found at the scene, he had roughly guessed the entire truth of the matter, but he was not sure whether there was any specific physical evidence.

People who often wear suits know that the reason why suits are troublesome and cumbersome is that they cannot be stacked, so they are usually placed on racks.

"It seems that Mr. Tanaka has a lot of knowledge about kimonos, but kimonos should be easier to fold than suits, right?"

After a few simple words of praise, Tanaka Yasuo opened his chat box and expressed his views on kimonos without concealing it, "Isn't it true? These people nowadays give up our most precious clothes for the so-called urbanization. If we were younger, This thing will fade away if no one likes it anymore. I often say that young shogi players should wear kimonos to promote our traditional clothing."

As he was talking, Tanaka Yasuo noticed that he had talked a little too much, so he excused himself from Furuhata Ninsaburo, got up, picked up a toothpick, and left. Furuhata Ninsaburo also got up and left and returned to the scene of the crime.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the police officer and Officer Megure chatting.

"I'm afraid this is not the scene of the first crime. There are faint traces of dragging in the corridor at the door."
