"I followed Fujiki Mina around Hayakawa Town for a long time today. She went to a vegetable store, a meat store, a bank, and bought a few packs of cigarettes at a convenience store. After that, she returned home. I waited outside for an hour. , I saw that she didn't come out again, so I came back to report to you..."

Miki returned to the car and seriously reported to Lin Xiuyi how she followed Minato Fujiki in detail, but seeing Miki's slightly disappointed expression, she knew that she had nothing to gain, and she wandered around with a housewife for a long time. And Lin Xiu's behavior of rummaging through the garbage bag seemed much luckier. ＊WwW.suimeng.lā

"Look at this, maybe it will help us a little bit?"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he took out the name of the torn medicine that he had managed to spliced ​​together. Miki carefully identified it for a long time, only to find that it turned out to be the label of zpiclne. Miki also learned that in two cases in Hokkaido and Meguro, the components of zpiclne (zopiclone) were detected in the gastric solution of the victims. So when she finally recognized the word, Miki immediately became a little excited, and the feeling of loss that she had achieved nothing before vanished in an instant.

"Police, where did you get this?"

Miki asked Lin Xiuyi both surprised and curious.

"Trash bag, I stole the trash from Minato Fujiki's house and found this thing out of it!"

Lin Xiuyi said to Miki embarrassedly, it's still a bit embarrassing to rummage through the trash no matter what.

"Police, you really..."

"Forget it, let's take a photo of this label and send it back to the Metropolitan Police Department, and ask where this zopiclone can be obtained..."

As soon as Lin Xiu said that, he started the car and drove in the direction of Qingyun Pavilion.

...

At almost the same time, in the Hokkaido Police Headquarters building in Sapporo City, thousands of miles away, Aizawa and Hanagata, who came from Tokyo, were working with Takashi Imai, the inspector of the First Division of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, before handing over their work. 's first meeting. But until this time, Imai Takazhi still didn't quite understand why a case he had already identified as a suicide would be re-treated as a homicide.

"Excuse me, am I ignoring some key evidence? How did you decide that this case was a murder case?"

Imai Takahashi questioned Aizawa and the others in confusion.

Aizawa did not directly answer the other party's question. He picked up the briefcase placed beside the seat with a blank expression, and then took out a file bag from it and handed it to Imai Takashi, motioning for the other party to open it and take a look.

Imai Takashi suspiciously took the document bag that Aizawa handed over, and then he poured out everything inside. It was only then that I discovered that there were all photos of Professor Noguchi before his death, and they were all photos of participating in some important events. Imai Takashi only looked at a few pictures, and his expression immediately became solemn.

"This...what's the matter?"

Imai Takashi asked Aizawa and Hanagata in disbelief.

"Looks like you've figured it out, yes that's right. Although Professor Noguchi is a linguist specializing in multilingualism, he likes to wear the traditional tatatsu hakama very much on formal occasions. So according to this Logic, he is unlikely to commit suicide in a dress..."

"how so!"

Imai Takashi originally stood up because he was emotional, but now he has fallen into deep self-blame and guilt. There's even more to this case. If the Nianjing bureaucrat from Tokyo had not seen through all this, the Hokkaido police would have been deceived by the murderer.

"Then...have you caught the real murderer?"

Imai Takashi hurriedly asked Aizawa and Hanagata, and looked at their expressions from time to time.

"Not yet, but we need your help on something very important this time. Do you remember that Professor Noguchi once hired a female domestic worker? In your previous investigation, it seemed that the other party was not present. Proof, so it was ignored by you..."

Huagata looked at Aizawa, then took out a pen and a notebook from his pocket, and habitually asked Kanai Takashi.

"Hey...hey! But, is there any problem?" Imai Takashi asked nervously.

"Actually, we have only suspected until now, suspecting that this female worker may be related to another case we are investigating. To be honest, a similar case occurred in Tokyo not long ago, and the victim had also A cleaning lady was hired. And at the time of the incident, the lady also had an alibi.”

The flower shape then explained it to the other party.

"Wait a minute, are you saying there was another similar case that happened?"

Imai Takashi was even more surprised when he heard the news.

"Hey, but we are only suspecting that there may be some connection between the two cases. By the way, the female worker who provided cleaning services for Professor Noguchi before his death was called Echizen Eve, right? He seems to be still a professor The first discoverer at the time of her death! May I ask if she is still in Sapporo? If it is convenient, we would like to make a detailed record with the other party."

Kagata flipped through the information she had obtained from Lin Shuichi before, and immediately made her request to Imai Takazhi.

"Hey, in fact, we have also investigated the first reporter before, but according to the calculation, the time of Professor Noguchi's death was one day before ~lightnovelpub.net~ At that time, the reporter seemed to be working somewhere else, so he did not have the ability to The time of committing the crime, let’s talk about it, at that time, our investigation direction was also in the direction of suicide, so… but if you need it, we can help you get in touch!”

"If that's the case, then we're welcome, but please hurry up! How about we go now?"

"Ah... well, okay!"

Jin Jing's mind is now full of things that he has made serious mistakes in handling the case, and people are also a little lost. After he agreed to Kagata's request, he immediately found the address left by the informant from the original file.

"Look, it's here, but I also have a request. Can you let me go with you?"

"Also, we are not locals after all, and we are unfamiliar, so I will cause you trouble!"

"Hey! I'll arrange the vehicle now, please don't worry!"

Hanagata and Aizawa glanced at each other, and they both looked forward to this Echizen Eve who was about to show up.
