"What's the matter, you don't look right?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked at the person next door and frowned, looking extremely conflicted.

Amamiya Qianxue leaned against the car window, her head hurting a bit, "How should I say it? It feels like it's been a long time to talk about it. I'll explain it to you slowly when I go back. Now, the summary in one sentence is that the deceased in this case and one member of the organization very important people."

"Tsk, what!?" Matsuda Jinpei smacked his lips unconsciously.

It's a suffocating feeling and it's annoying.

Amamiya Qianxue stared at the lush greenery passing by outside the window, trying her best to restrain her inner irritability.

First of all, the president, Sohei Dejima, grew up with Koji Miyano and went to school together. Koji Miyano once asked him to do design for the books he had published, and he is indeed well-known in the design field.

However, according to the information she investigated before, the two of them have hardly seen each other since Koji Miyano leased the old house left by his father to Sohei Shima about 30 years ago.

Later, it was said that the Miyano couple brought Miyano Akemi there again, but the two sides did not meet each other. Could it be that there was some relationship between the two people that time?

Headache, now Miyano Akemi is missing and can't be contacted.Sohei Dejima also died, where should we start?

Old house?

Thinking of this, Amamiya Qianxue asked: "Is the house burned down badly?? The photos just now show how the fire started. What about after the fire is extinguished?"

Matsuda Jinhei frowned, "You know the gas exploded, and the damage is certain. Do you want to find something inside?"

"I don't know, I'm at a loss right now, and I don't have any clues at the moment." She murmured, her brows drooping, "And the most important thing now is not to find the murderer and solve the case. Let me let it go beforehand."

"Don't stress too much." Matsuda Jinping said softly, pinching the slightly tired faces of the people around him.

"it is good."

The destination arrived soon. It was a slightly old Japanese-style mansion. The fire had been extinguished, the wooden building was almost burned, and the most severely burned part of the wall had been blackened.

Passing through the crowd of onlookers and the cordon, three middle-aged men stood in front of the Mumu Police Department, who were questioning.

"Officer Matsuda and Chitanda are here." Police Megure turned around and greeted the two people who had just arrived.

Matsuda Jinhei nodded, "Shiratori and Chiba are also here. I'll take Chitanda to investigate the scene first. After all, she is a newcomer, and there are still many things I don't understand."

When it came to the second half, Matsuda Jinpei felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Okay, then you can take her in."

Amamiya Qianxue bowed to the hard-working police department and said: "The police department has worked hard! I will follow the police officer and Matsuda to study hard."

The inexplicable guilt in Matsuda Jinping's heart intensified again.

The two put on masks and gloves, and walked into the house that still smelled of burnt.

"Go to the kitchen first, the gas leak should start from here." Matsuda Jinhei took off his sunglasses and walked in before Amemiya Qianxue half covered.

The two walked around the small kitchen, and finally stopped at the gas pipe. According to the investigation by the firefighters ahead, this pipe was the place where the leak was, and it should have been sprayed out in one breath.

Amamiya Qianxue picked up the half-burned rubber pipe and frowned. The rest of the pipe had been burned, leaving only this section.

"The bulge of the opening doesn't seem normal." Matsuda Jinpei's voice was hazy through the mask.

Amamiya Qianxue nodded, "It seems that something that didn't match was forced into it."

"The thing stuffed in was sprayed to other places by the sprayed gas? And then burned?" Matsuda Jinping glanced around, trying to see if there was anything that didn't match.

Stuffing this section of pipe into a transparent bag, Amamiya Chiyuki stood up, "I'm not sure yet, let's take a look."

The two came to the place where the body of the deceased was found. The body had already been moved out, leaving only traces of white lines. The two had observed the body before entering.Rather than saying that the body was killed by the blast, it looked more like it was hit by glass shattered by the explosion. The wooden material pressed the body and could not escape. In the end, he lost too much blood and died of gas poisoning.

"From this point of view, he was flushed from the toilet?" Matsuda Zhenping turned around, carefully speculating on the possible movements of the corpse before death.

"Well, it should be that something was wrong when I went to the toilet, and then I rushed out of it, just happened to encounter an explosion, was hit, was pierced by glass shards, and climbed forward for a certain distance, but in the end because I inhaled too much Gas and unable to struggle, finally died."

While talking about her thoughts, Amamiya Chiyuki and Matsuda Jinpei walked into the small toilet.

Perhaps because of the angle, this piece was only burned by the flames, and there were bursts of black smoke. The shock wave of the explosion only caused the scattered things on the shelf to be shaken down, and there were also The lid of the toilet tank.

The word "water saving" written in black and white on the wall has been burnt to only half of it.

"Is the plumbing in the old house bad?" Amamiya Qianxue muttered.

Matsuda Jinpei, who turned his back to her, turned around, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

"No, I looked at the water saving on this piece of paper, and wondered if the water pipes in the old house were not aging well."

Matsuda Jinhei came over and observed, "It shouldn't be. Look at the place where the earthquake collapsed. The water pipes have obviously been replaced in recent years. This structure is integral. If it's not good, don't worry about it." Maybe it's just bad in the toilet."

"As expected of Matsuda, she really knows a lot about these things." Amamiya Qianxue nodded, praising the people around her as usual.

But Matsuda Jinping, who hadn't heard such words for a long time, felt a little embarrassed for a while. He turned his head and said awkwardly: "Okay, let's check."

"Yes, Matsuda-senpai!" Amamiya Chiyuki winked mischievously at him.

Taking away the lid of the water tank that was lifted a little by the impact of the explosion, Amamiya Qianxue stared carefully for a while, then called the person next to her, "Matsuda, come and take a look, I feel a little strange."

"Is it in the water tank? Is there anything here?" Matsuda Jinping frowned, "You are really careful, you don't miss this place."

"Perhaps the clues to solve the case are hidden in tiny corners. Finding the truth from those impossibilities is the joy of detection." Amamiya Qianxue smiled, and she could feel her tone even through the mask The briskness in it.

But it made Matsuda Jinhei's body slightly stagnant. It would be great if there were no such messy things.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, put on his gloves and directly reached into the water tank, causing Amamiya Qianxue's pupils to shrink suddenly, "What are you doing, I just let you see what's wrong."

Matsuda Jinping pouted, "I can't see anything wrong just by looking at it, sometimes I just have to do it myself..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped, his face dazed, because he just found something wrong on the buoy of the water tank.

"What's wrong?" Amamiya Qianxue's eyes widened.

Matsuda Jinhei raised his eyebrows, and took out the buoy, and a sealed dark waterproof bag was taped underneath.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.

Amamiya Qianxue closed the toilet door that was half open, and took other things to block the door that could not be closed too tightly.

"Look, this tape has been around for a while." Amamiya Qianxue said softly.

Jinpei Matsuda nodded, and the two took off the waterproof bag. After opening it, they found that it was a tape in a transparent bag.

The faces of the two of them were shocked. It must not be a simple thing to hide things in such a place.

"Could it be related to the organization?" Matsuda Jinping lowered his voice.

Amamiya Qianxue said softly: "I don't know, put it away first."

She now understands why she felt something was wrong just now, because the buoy was pressed by something, and the gravity pulled the water in the water tank to flow out continuously, which is why it got the label of "water saving".

But who put this thing in the end?What is the tape inside?

Matsuda Jinpei hid the tape on his body, restored the buoy and other items, and the two of them went out of the toilet and continued to investigate the scene.

At this time, Shiratori Rensaburo and Chiba Kazunobu walked in, Shiratori Rensaburo said: "Officer Matsuda, the Megure Police Department said that we will come for the next investigation, and let you bring Chitanda to familiarize yourself with the inquiry."

"Okay, let's go there now." Matsuda Jinpei agreed, "Let's go and ask questions."

Amamiya Qianxue tugged at his sleeve, muttering in a low voice: "I want to ask something unrelated to the case."

"Don't worry, I will find a chance for you." Matsuda Jinhei said, and lightly patted Amemiya Chiyuki on the top of the head with the hand that took off the glove.

It just so happened that Shiratori Rensaburo and Chiba Kazunobu saw this scene, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw the same thought in their eyes. Sure enough, it was not their illusion that Officer Matsuda treated Chitanda differently.

Unknowingly, the two came to the remaining three employees in the studio, a bearded man named Natsubori Isamu, a man wearing a turban named Saizu Fukihiko, and a bald man named Kanai Tetsuo.

The three people said that they had to work overtime last night, and the director lacked inspiration for his new work, so they needed to be alone for a while, and let them come to the company only at noon today. They didn't expect this kind of thing to happen on the way.

The order of leaving the company last night was bald Tetsuo Kanai, then Ukihiko Saizu, a man with a turban, and Isamu Natsubori with a beard was the last to leave.

Then Matsuda Jinping asked about the alibi.

Tetsuo Kanai frowned and replied: "I left the studio at seven o'clock last night, and then went to the park. I still have photos here to testify."

As he spoke, he took out a photo that looked like it hadn't been developed for a long time.

In the hazy night scene, behind him is a clock tower. The clock on the western-style clock tower has no numbers, but it can be seen from the hands that the time is nine o'clock.

Then came the testimony of the man in the turban, "I went back after ten o'clock. As soon as I came out of the office, my friend called me to go to an izakaya for a drink. There are call records here. We stayed there until dawn, and then I I went to their house to play poker again, and the police officer can call if you don’t believe me.”

The last one who spoke was Isamu Natsuhori, "I was quite late, and I didn't go back until after one o'clock. Before I went back, I went to buy supper with the president. We ate fish burgers at a nearby burger shop, and then I went to the burger shop. I separated from the president, and asked the hamburger restaurant, someone should remember, but if you want to ask me about my alibi for the rest of the time, then I really don’t have one.”

Matsuda Jinpei and Amamiya Chiyuki looked at each other. They were almost certain that the gas explosion could never be an accident. The half of the pipeline that was not burned basically proved that it was a man-made case.

The Mumu Police Department also came over at this time, he pulled the two people aside and said in a low voice: "How is it? Is there any gain? I just checked the other relationships of the deceased, and the most suspected ones are these three. .”

Matsuda rested his hands on his neck, and the sunglasses hanging on the bridge of his nose were half hanging, "How should I put it, even if there is an alibi when you leave, it can't prove whether anyone came back later, so the testimony of the three people is not 100% % to prove anything."

Amamiya Qianxue started to walk around the house, and she was calculating how much gas leakage would blow up the house like this.

The time of the gas explosion was 10:31 in the morning. The alibi at this time proved that the three people were all in order.

Can cause such a large gas leak, how can we guarantee the leak time?And what is the stretched hose stuffed into?Finally, who played those tapes? ?
