Chapter 1812 Investigation Outside the Novel
On Thursday, August 31, survey venue.
At the request of the Megure Police Department, Editor Tono Shunichi recounted the time he was here last night, and Officer Chiba made a chart.
"I came here yesterday at around six o'clock in the evening. Although Teacher Qi Chuan has stopped writing now, she has written many masterpieces of mystery novels. We held a meeting on organizing and publishing a collection of works."
"I stayed in Teacher Qi Chuan's apartment for about two hours, around eight o'clock in the evening."
"When I came, I thought the teacher had already had dinner, but later I found out that Teacher Qi Chuan hadn't eaten."
"Although Teacher Qi Chuan said that she has no appetite, I ordered a portion of sushi for one person for Teacher Qi Chuan. It is her favorite kind of food. I hope it can stimulate her appetite."
"I didn't leave until I received the takeaway. It was around eight o'clock in the evening."
Police Department Megure said, "Well, it looks like Ms. Saikawa ate all the sushi."
Conan interjected, "There's ginger slices or something on the kitchen counter. That's what's in the sushi box, right? If you don't eat it, you shouldn't."
Tono Shunichi said: "It's sweet ginger. Teacher Qi Chuan sometimes wants to eat it, sometimes he doesn't want to eat it. It's hard to tell, so the owner of the sushi restaurant will give some in small amounts, and Teacher Qi Chuan likes to eat cuttlefish and octopus. The shop owner will Deliberately add more."
"That's right." Mumu Police Department nodded.
Maori asked, "So what happened afterwards? Where did you go after that?"
"I went to drink with my friends until late at night, and it was about 10:30 in the evening when the show ended." Tono Shun took out his mobile phone and called up the communication, "These are the people."
Hondo Eisuke asked, "Where do you drink? How many minutes away from here?"
"I understand what you mean. You mean that I found an opportunity to come back to commit crimes." Tono Shunichi said, "That's impossible. Although the izakaya is only a ten-minute drive from here, we didn't drink much. Sober, I can't disappear for twenty minutes without them noticing."
Maori said, "Just call and ask."
Officer Takagi called one by one and confirmed that Shunichi Tono had been drinking with them at around 8:15 last night. Although he left twice in the middle, the time did not exceed ten minutes, and he just went to the bathroom.
Tohno Shunichi's drinking buddies all confirmed that they were not drunk, and they would remember correctly.
After confirming the problem edited by Shunichi Tono, he called the administrator Keizo Murata. Judging by the smell of alcohol in his speech, he was already drunk.
Murata Keizo denied that some people said that he had quarreled with Qi Chuancun.
"I never quarreled with Ms. Qi Chuan."
Meguro Police Department asked: "So last night?"
"I have been in the administrator's room. Because I am alone, there are no witnesses." Murata Keizo said, "If there are no other questions, I will go to work."
Seeing Keizo Murata staggering out the door, everyone couldn't help but sympathize with the people in this apartment building for such a good wine guy.
"Cough," Mumu Police Department said, "First get rid of other people who may commit crimes, and just look at these two people to see if they can be ruled out as suspects."
Mao Li said: "Eight o'clock in the evening is the key. If it is between seven o'clock and eight o'clock, editor Tono may commit crimes. After eight o'clock, it is the Murata administrator."
At this time, Officer Takagi received a call. The takeaway boy he had contacted the sushi restaurant before had arrived.
"I arrived around eight o'clock in the evening. A gentleman picked up the takeaway. Ah, it was this gentleman."
The takeaway boy pointed at Shunichi Tono, proving what Shunichi Tono said about receiving the takeaway.
The Mumu Police Department showed a photo, "Did you see this Ms. Qi Chuan village at that time? Or heard something?"
"No,
I didn't go in at the time. "The delivery boy said, "By the way, I saw a man in his fifties in the corridor at the time, and he left when he saw me. "
Mao Li said excitedly: "The police department is the administrator. He must be checking the situation of Ms. Qi Chuan's apartment to see if the visitors have left and prepare for the crime."
The Mumu Police Department ordered: "Qianye, go and invite him over."
A moment later, Officer Chiba brought Administrator Keizo Murata with a wry smile, because he was already drunk.
The delivery guy testified, "It's him."
Megure police department asked: "Mr. Murata, didn't you say that you were in the administrator's room last night? Why did you appear outside Ms. Qichuan's apartment in a sneaky way?"
Murata Keisan took a sip of his wine carelessly, "Ah, I like this very much. When I was drinking some wine during the day, that old lady Qi Chuan saw her and said she would tell the management company."
"What are you kidding! I'm going to be fired if I do this!"
"So last night I wanted to go and beg her not to sue me, but there were visitors, so I left."
Mao Li asked: "No, you went to Ms. Qi Chuan's house again at around nine o'clock in the evening, knocked on the door and went in, and then killed her if you disagreed."
Murata Keisan said without hesitation: "Ha, it's nothing at all. I did ring the doorbell, but she didn't come out."
"Wait," Hondo Eisuke yelled, "You mean, you went to Ms. Qi Chuan's house at nine o'clock last night!"
Yamazaki is speechless, is this telling the truth after drinking? It is indeed much more cost-effective to get the prisoner drunk for retrial than to use confession agent.
"Yes, I went, but it was only at the door, what's the matter!" Murata Keizo slapped the table and shouted, "If you doubt me, please show the evidence, evidence! If you don't have evidence, don't bother me !” Then he left.
Officer Takagi asked for instructions: "Police, do you want to arrest him?"
"Not for the time being," Mu Mu Police Department said with a headache, "We have no evidence, and he said it himself, he was just at the door."
"Excuse me, officer." A middle-aged man appeared at the door, "I am the editor-in-chief of Maze Publishing House, Shimazaki Yasunobu, can I go in?"
"Please come in." Mumu Police Department responded.
"Editor-in-Chief, why are you here?" Tono Shunichi hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"I received a call from you asking for leave, so I came here to take a look." Editor-in-Chief Shimazaki asked, "Officer, do you regard Tohno as a suspect?"
"It is because of his admiration for Mr. Qi Chuan's works that he joined our mystery novel publishing house, which is responsible for all of Mr. Qi Chuan's works."
"To be honest, among the writers in charge of our publishing house, none of them are famous, so the performance is not very good, and every fund is very precious."
"Ms. Qi Chuan is even a forgotten writer. I don't think her works will sell well. Our business has always been difficult. If we publish a collection of works that cannot be sold, the consequences will be very difficult, but Tono persuaded me."
"He said that Teacher Qi Chuan was not long alive, and he wanted Teacher Qi Chuan to see her life's achievements before she died, so that people could understand Qi Chuan's excellence, original tricks, perfect composition, and gem-like works. "
"This time, Mr. Qi Chuan's collection of works was planned by him. He worships Mr. Qi Chuan so much, it is impossible to kill her."
"That's all I have to say."
Mumu Police Department nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."
At this time, the Mumu Police Department received a call, and the results of the autopsy on the body came out.
There were residual rice and raw seafood in the stomach of the remains, which was sushi, and the time of death was about an hour after eating.
The takeaway was delivered around eight o'clock in the evening, that is to say, the time of death occurred around nine o'clock in the evening.
Mao Li said: "Editor Tono has been drinking with his friends after 8:15 in the evening. The Murata administrator himself said that he went to the deceased Ms. Qi Chuan at nine o'clock in the evening, the police department, I think it's time to catch someone."
"Wait a minute," Megure Police Department said, "The Murata administrator didn't say that he entered the room, only that he was outside the door. We still don't have enough evidence."
Shimazaki Yasunobu confirmed: "Then, Tohno can go back, right?"
"Yes, it's ok." Mumu Police Department said, "I'm really sorry to delay your time."
Shimazaki Yasunobu took Tono Shunichi to leave. ...
