Rain Girl's Revenge

Chapter 8: The Lying Witness

Masuda Toshi was taken away in the end. According to Police Yamada, he was the only one who didn't have an alibi at that time that night. What's more, his testimony was too false. Even if he was not the murderer, he was still an important witness. Therefore it is very necessary to guard him.

"I don't know how to make up nonsense," Yamada's forehead twitched again, "I kept saying that I really saw Ichiro Inoue at that time, bah, what dog—" seemed to realize that Carter and Grammer still Being present, he suppressed the dirty word he was about to spit out, lit a cigarette instead, and took a deep breath.

"What are you going to do?" Carter smiled, as if he didn't care much about the unspoken dirty words.

"Ah—yes. It's still raining heavily outside, and the waves are too big for ships off the island to get in, and we can't get out. So I think we'll lock him in this interrogation room until the rain stops Then send him to the Metropolitan Police Department in Miyazaki Prefecture."

I don't know if it was Carter's illusion, but when it came to locking Masuda Toshi in the interrogation room, a ruthless light flashed in Yamada's eyes.

"That's it--that's fine." Carter looked at Yamada Policeman with a trace of inquiry.

As for Ichiro Inoue, he really had nothing to say.The people in the town treated him more maliciously than kindly.It seems that it is not only because of his private large-scale fishing and random demolition of buildings in the town.Some villagers also said that he seems to have some shady activities in private.

"That was many years ago. At that time, we often saw him, Granny Zhizi and Masuda Toshi together talking together, wondering what they were discussing. Ah yes, there used to be one of them wearing a coat People with masks ran to the island to find them."

"Do you remember what that young man looked like?"

"Is this - he often wears a big hat with the brim covering his entire face and sunglasses. This kind of outfit is very rare here, so we all remember it. But what exactly does he look like? ,this--"

"Okay, we got it. Thanks."

After dismissing the villagers who seemed to want to continue nagging, Carter let out a long breath, turned around and walked out of the gate of the police station with Grammer.

The rain in the town seemed to have never stopped since the day of the festival. Carter and Grammer walked in the town under umbrellas, and all the people and buildings in front of them seemed to be assimilated into the background board.

Only the sound of the pattering rain and the steady heartbeat of the two of them was left, shaking the entire small world under the umbrella.

"Now there are four suspects in this case: Mieko Fujiwara, Granny Gardenia, Toshi Masuda, and the mysterious young man that the villagers said." Carter took a deep breath, watching the wisp of white smoke slowly coming out of his mouth. Floating out, and then gradually dissipating under the overcast sky, "the key problem is their alibi."

"The alibi of Mieko Fujiwara and Granny Gardenia was perfect," Grammer reminded him.

"Yeah—but there is one thing in Masuda Toshi's testimony that made me suspicious. Do you remember that he said that he was suddenly very sleepy around five o'clock and then woke up and found that he suddenly went to the forest and finally saw him at seven o'clock. When was Ichiro Inoue?"

"Ah."

"What makes me hesitate about this testimony is the time. If, as he said, he saw Ichiro Inoue on July 7.15 as he thought, then there are only two possibilities: the first possibility is that someone adjusted his time, Made him meet someone who shouldn't be there at the wrong time—"

"The second possibility is that someone maliciously interfered with the time of the victim's death," Grammer added.

"The first possibility is unlikely." Carter held a cigarette in his mouth, but did not light it. "There is absolutely no need for the murderer to do such a thankless thing."

"That is to say, the murderer used some method to tamper with the time of death, thus providing himself with an alibi."

"Do you have any clues?" Carter asked Grammer after collecting his thoughts.

"I found something interesting." Grammer was obviously in a good mood, and for the first time there was a smug smile on his face like playing cards, "Trust me, you will like it."

"Before visiting Granny Gardenia, I first sought information from the Sato Police Department about the two murders 18 years ago and 13 years ago. What I found later was not my surprise." In a small restaurant by the street, Grammer pulled out a stack of photos and faxed reports from his pocket.

Carter followed the reputation and saw a group photo of several people before going out to sea.With just a quick glance, Carter couldn't help but widen his eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "God——"

No wonder Carter was so surprised. Although the faces of the people in the photos were somewhat unclear because of the age, this did not prevent Carter from recognizing at a glance that the guys with bright smiles in the photos were the dead Ichiro Inoue. Granny Gardenia, Toshi Masuda, and the mysterious Kato Zun I saw in the museum last time.There are two little girls in Kato Tun's arms, presumably they are the two daughters he adopted: Miss Xiang Lai and Miss Mieko.

"The time shown in the photo was 18 years ago. It was after that sea trip that Kato Zun mysteriously disappeared. His body was found near the Yunu Ancestral Hall a month later. The cause of death was drug overdose. Coincidentally, on 5 Years later, her eldest daughter, Shan Lai, also suffered the same thing as her father, but unfortunately—" Grammer's voice was a little sad.

Carter stared at the first line of the autopsy report and found many traces of abuse on the corpse, and collected some of the words "**", and remained silent.

"Have you found out which animal did the good thing?" Carter's eye circles were a little red.

"Unfortunately, the police did not analyze the samples of the drug at that time." Grammer shook his head, expressing his powerlessness.

The atmosphere condensed for a moment, and the two stared at the dancing candles on the table, and remained silent for a while.

If the police had paid more attention back then, would they have——

"Hey, but since Ichiro Inoue, Granny Zhizi, and Toshi Masuda were involved in the two accidents back then, the police focused on questioning these three people, but according to the records at that time, they found nothing. But I found that I have a question—" After a long time, Grammer's hoarse voice broke the silence.

"what?"

"These testimonies are all false."

Carter suddenly raised his head and stared into the eyes of his old partner, eyes filled with anger and deep astonishment.

Grammer's eyes remained as calm as ever.

"If you don't believe it, you can look at the file submitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department back then, and you will soon find out that these testimonies—"

"It's too trivial." Carter grabbed the file bag and looked carefully, "'13.00, we officially set out to sea. At that time, there were many people watching us. Mieko was wearing a beautiful pink dress and a white dress. Small shell bag, Xiang Lai promised to buy her a big red headband—'This thing is obviously fake at a glance, how the hell did it pass the inspection back then?"

Grammer didn't say a word, and watched silently as his old partner kept pulling his short black hair with his hands, as if he could put all his anger and chills on the group of murderers.

After a while, Carter's anger finally subsided.It's just that the metallic luster flashed in those olive green eyes from time to time, showing that its owner was not as calm as he seemed.

"Grammer."

"Ok?"

"Who was in charge of these two cases back then?"

Grammer raised his head, and stormy waves surged in his azure blue eyes:

"The Yamada police officer."

At that time, the interrogation room of the Weeping Island Police Station——

Inspector Yamada anxiously moved back and forth in the small room, and Toshi Masuda could easily hear the sound of his heavy leather boots stepping on the floor and his stout panting, accompanied by muttering to himself:

"Could it be that they were resurrected?"

"No, it can't exist, we should know better than anyone else, it's impossible!"

"Damn it! Is there really a so-called rain girl in this world?"

He looks like an enraged bull right now.Masuda Toshi thought.

But it's no wonder that Ichiro Inoue was killed, and he was killed in the same place in the same way as before. Just thinking about this is enough to make people shudder.

More importantly, with Ichiro Inoue's death, that secret is very likely——

"A traitor appeared among us." Suddenly, the magnified face of Police Officer Yamada appeared in front of Toshi Masuda, and Toshi Masuda could even clearly see strands of blood in those dark eyes.

"Say! Is it you! Is it you!" Yamada Jingshi seemed to have fallen into a madman, and suddenly grabbed Masuda Toshi's neck hard, shaking back and forth.

"No—it's—I—" Masuda Toshi's face was flushed red, even with a faint blue color.He stiffened his neck, struggling to get the words out of his throat.

"That's right, it's not you, and it won't be you, you are so cowardly, cowardly, and afraid of getting into trouble, it's not you, it's not you—" As if hearing a satisfactory answer, Police Officer Yamada suddenly let go and strangled Masuda desperately Jun's hands, once again caught in an endless loop of his own thoughts.

Masuda Toshi gasped heavily, feeling like he was finally alive.

Toshi Masuda, who was caught in his own thoughts, didn't notice that Yamada's bloodshot eyes suddenly turned towards him——

"Even if it's not you, you deserve to die! You deserve to die just like her!"

Police officer Yamada roared and rushed towards him suddenly, Masuda Jun couldn't dodge in time, he could only watch helplessly as he pulled out the pistol hidden in his waist, his pupils dilated continuously due to fear.

In the blink of an eye, Toshi Masuda could only clearly hear the last voice he could hear coming from his ear——

"boom!"
