"Dong Dong Dong!"

"Hi...is that Mr. Landlord?"

As I remembered a knock on the door, I immediately heard the sound of the guest answering in the room. This made Aizawa and Kagata, who had come from afar, breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, are you Ms. Echizen Eve Kiko?"

Kagata approached the door and asked in a loud voice.

With the sound of the door lock coming from inside, a slightly plump woman suddenly stuck her head out from inside, and then carefully looked at the men standing in front of the door, and soon she recognized the Kanai behind Ze and Kagata.

"Aren't you that Mr. police officer!"

"Hey...hey! Ms. Echizen, haven't seen each other for a long time?" Kanai hurriedly nodded to the other party.

"Ms. Echizen, I took the liberty to visit today because we still have some information about Professor Noguchi that we would like to know from you. So, can I take your time?"

"Understand the situation? Didn't I make it clear at the police station?"

Echizen Eve asked Aizawa, feeling a little puzzled.

"Yes, but this is a necessary workflow for our police, so if you agree, it won't take much time!"

"Why, I was just about to go out with my friends, hey... Forget it, come in!"

As Yukiko spoke, she let Aizawa and the others into the room.

The apartment where Xi Qizi lived in was very old, and from the outside it looked like it might have been thirty or forty years old. However, when everyone walked into the room, they found that it was very clean. There were not many furnishings in the room. The surrounding and even the walls on the roof were covered with cheap new wallpaper. It looked a lot cleaner at once.

"Do you want tea?" Xiqizi took out the teacup from the cabinet and immediately asked the crowd.

"No, we just asked a few simple questions, so I won't bother you!" Hua Xing hurriedly said politely to the other party.

"It doesn't matter, I want to drink it myself, it's not some kind of tea that I can get my hands on, so please don't dislike it!"

After saying that, Xi Qizi went to the stove and got busy. Everyone sat around on the tatami floor. Because of the small space, everyone felt that some activities could not be done.

"Sorry, this place is too small, by the way, what else do you want to know?"

"Excuse me, can you retell the story of the discovery of Professor Noguchi's body?"

"That's it! Well, that day happened to be the day I went to work at Professor Noguchi's house, and I went to his house as usual. By the way, before that, I asked the company for a week's vacation, saying I'm really sorry for Professor Noguchi! At that time, I opened the door of Professor Noguchi's house with the key as usual. Then I called a few times, because I didn't hear Professor Noguchi's response, so I thought he was not at home... "

"Well... can I interrupt, you just said that you took a week's leave before, can I ask you where you have been during this time?"

"This... I actually got a temporary job cleaning the exhibition. It is said that the salary is very good, and I can make a lot of money in a few days, so I had to speak to Mr. Noguchi with a thick face. But Professor Noguchi really I was a very good employer, and he happily agreed to my request. I only had time to leave Sapporo..."

Aizawa listened quietly, and at the same time compared Echizen Eve's current testimony with the original testimony. Now it seems that the basic content of the two testimony is roughly the same, but in some details There are still some inconsistencies, but these are very normal phenomena. After all, it has been a while since the last inquiry, and it is common for people's memory to have a certain forgetting.

There was a sudden sound of hot water boiling on the water heater. Xiqizi hurriedly stood up and went to the stove to prepare tea for everyone. After a while, Xiqizi returned to his seat with a tray and served everyone a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you... ah... does it smell good?"

Aizawa picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but suddenly realized that the tea in the teacup was not as ordinary as Yukiko had said, but had a special aroma when asked.

"This tea... it seems to be quite good!"

Aizawa suddenly raised his teacup and said to Yukiko.

"Really, I don't usually have time to make tea, and I don't know much about tea. By the way, this box of tea seems to have been given to me by Professor Noguchi. I remember that Professor Noguchi seems to like drinking tea very much, but he There are too many tea leaves, so I gave me some that I couldn't drink..."

"So, your relationship with Professor Noguchi is pretty good?"

"Hey, Professor Noguchi is indeed a good person. He usually takes great care of me. It's a pity that Professor Noguchi died so suddenly!"

Xi Qizi said with a look of regret.

Aizawa glanced at Yukiko, and then asked the other person again:

"So, before Professor Noguchi's death, did you notice anything strange? For example, any emotional fluctuations..."

"There seems to be something wrong with what you said, by the way, I remembered, just before I left, when I said goodbye to Professor Noguchi, he didn't know if he encountered something very happy, look. It seems very happy. Yes, it just doesn't feel the same as usual."

"happy?"

Aizawa felt a little strange and asked.

"Hey, I'm really happy. In fact, when I said goodbye to him, I felt a little embarrassed, because it was so sudden, but I didn't expect Professor Noguchi to agree to my request very simply. He also asked I can play for two more days~lightnovelpub.net~ Don't care about his affairs here, I was really embarrassed at the time."

"Wait a minute, do you think Professor Noguchi was happier than usual at that time? But why didn't you mention this paragraph when you gave your statement before?"

Officer Kanai asked Ms. Echizen in surprise, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"You didn't ask these questions at that time, you just asked me where the body was the day before I found it, so I didn't tell you..."

Ms. Echizen didn't seem to realize that what she just said might actually overturn the suicide conclusion made by the Hokkaido police, so it's no wonder that Officer Kanai has such a big reaction.
