Tokyo Police

v5 Chapter 12: Contradictory Mr. Nantian

"Dong, dong, dong..."

"Please wait……"

As the sliding door was opened, a man in a bathrobe poked his head out of the box. Lin Xiuyi looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sighed that it was really a man with clothes and a horse with a saddle. At dinner last night, Nantian Yasuji was wearing a well-trimmed suit, and with the distance, he looked mature and charming. But now, Nan Tian Yasuji, who is wearing a baggy yukata, gives people a sloppy feeling.

"Mr. Nantian, I'm Lin Xiuyi from the Police Department's Search Section 1. I want to delay you for a few minutes and ask you a few questions..."

"Please come in! Is it about Miss Shiraishi? It's really a pity. I just met Miss Shiraishi and Miss Shuju yesterday. Who would have thought such a thing would happen..." Nantian Kangzhi's general Lin Xiuyi Jean entered his own box, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with a little sadness.

"This kind of thing? You mean..." Lin Xiuyi asked rhetorically, pretending to be puzzled.

"Of course it's because Miss Shiraishi was killed in the box..." Nantian Yasuo explained to Lin Xiuyi actively.

"Oh? How did you know?" Lin Xiuyi's nerves immediately became vigilant. How long did it take? If every suspect can get information faster than the police, then what advantage does the police have...

"Oh, I also heard Mrs. Kakigu next door tell me afterwards. It was such a pity at the time that I wasn't by her side when Miss Sakurako needed her most attention..." Nantian Yasushi sighed, then sighed with emotion. said.

"Then, from eleven o'clock last night, when the restaurant on the train closed, until one o'clock in the morning, can you tell me what you have done?"

"Of course, to be honest, after the restaurant closed, I was a little depressed because I was rejected by Miss Sakurako, and I drank some wine and my mind was not clear, so I unknowingly fell asleep. On the sofa in the lounge..."

"Oh? So who can prove your statement?" Lin Xiu felt a little strange when he saw the other party's whereabouts of the incident without thinking. Even when he claimed to be drunk, he was still able to clearly remember his activities during that time. His answer gave people a very deliberate feeling.

Lin Xiuyi had deep suspicions about Nantian Kangzhi from the very beginning, and during this questioning process, Nantian Kangzhi seemed to have been waiting for Lin Xiuyi to ask him about his whereabouts at the time of the crime, which was a bit intriguing.

"Is that the witness? Oh, at that time, I met Mrs. Kakiya who came here to relax in the lounge. We chatted casually for a while. Mrs. Kakiya was very nice. After knowing that I was rejected by Miss Sakurako, she worked very hard. You're enlightening me..." Nantian Kangzhi said unhurriedly.

"Mrs. Kakigu? Your relationship with Mrs. Kakigu is..." Lin Xiuyi asked suspiciously.

"Ah... Before boarding this train, I didn't know each other at all. If it wasn't for me being drunk in the lounge, I'm afraid I wouldn't know Mrs. Kakiya..." Nantian Yasushi said with emotion.

"You mean that from eleven o'clock last night to one o'clock in the morning, you stayed in the lounge of the train with Mrs. Kakitani? Was there any other guests there?" Lin Xiuyi continued pressing asked.

"Are there any other guests? There should be no more. As for the specific time, I think you can get the exact time if you ask Mrs. Kakitani for confirmation. After all, I always felt very dizzy because of alcohol at the time... …”

……

After repeated confirmations, Lin Xiuyi learned from Nantian Yasuji that he had perfect alibi at the time of the crime-the wife of the Kakitani family who lived next to her could confirm that Nantian was indeed staying at the time of the crime. In the lounge, although there was no time to ask Mrs. Kakitani to verify the matter, Lin Xiu could see from Nantian's demeanor that Mrs. Kakitani should be able to confirm Nantian's statement.

What's going on here? If Mrs. Kakitani really confirms Nantian's statement, then he can completely clear his suspicions. But from last night until now, the person who had the closest relationship with the deceased Erika Shiraishi, aside from Sakurako, was this Nantian Yasuji! Could it be that Erika Shiraishi's death really has nothing to do with this Nantian Yasuji? Lin Xiuyi felt very suspicious even now.

"Mr. Nantian, did you know the deceased Miss Shiraishi before?" Lin Xiuyi mentioned his relationship with the deceased Erika Shiraishi after learning about Nantian Yasushi's alibi. Because Lin Xiuyi felt that there was some kind of connection between him and Erika Shiraishi from the first time he met Yasushi Nantian~lightnovelpub.net~ Know? Miss Shuju should not see it that way! In terms of acquaintance, I met Miss Shuju and Miss Shiraishi before I got on the bus. At that time, they carried a lot of salutes with them, so much that the two of them couldn't carry them on the cart at the station. I was underground at that time. I happened to see this scene in the garage, so I didn't hesitate to step up to help them, maybe because of this reason, Miss Shiraishi is willing to help me pursue Miss Shuju..." Nantian Kangyi recalled, while Explained in a deadpan tone.

"Mr. Nantian, listening to your tone, have you given up pursuing Ms. Juju? But you were so enthusiastic last night..." Lin Xiuyi heard from Nantian's answer his attitude towards Juju Yingzi. has changed. So I was very concerned about it.

"After all, this happened. Miss Shiraishi, who has been assisting me, is no longer alive, and Miss Sakurako and I, in the final analysis, can only be regarded as a chance encounter. I think, no matter what, I will arrive by the train. Adjust your mentality before standing, right?" Nantian Yasushi asked Lin Xiu in return.

Lin Xiuyi looked at the records of the inquiry between him and Nantian in the notebook. Although the instant noodles seemed to have said everything in the past, Nantian's attitude towards Yingzi changed dramatically in just two hours. Changes, from seeking the most at all costs, to now taking the initiative to withdraw, this Nantian Kangzhi has become too fast. Besides, there is another aspect of Nantian Yasuo's testimony that makes Lin Xiuyi very uncomfortable, that is, his testimony seems to have been prepared in advance.

However, Lin Xiuyi can only put these things aside for the time being. The most urgent task is to ask Mrs. Kakiya next door about the authenticity of Nantian Yasuji's alibi...
