Chapter 13 Testimony [Please recommend~]

Although I only have the experience of being trained in the police academy, I have read so many mystery works, which can be considered helpful in this field...

I don't say how much help these two can help, but at least they won't let Tang Ze lose his chain.

Without further ado, since Officer Megure handed over the case to himself and Sato Miwako, he naturally had to do his best.

Not only for yourself, but also for the victim.

After paying attention, Karasawa and Miwako Sato first went to meet the first discoverer, Ryoka Hasegawa.

I forgot who said it, but at the crime scene, the first discoverer was highly suspected, maybe he was the culprit, so Tang Ze conducted the inquiry very seriously.

Ryoka Hasegawa, she is a white-collar worker who lives in the same apartment building as the victim Asamiya Kiriko, and is about the same age as the victim.

When Karasawa and Sato Miwako saw each other, the short-haired woman looked very ugly. It was no wonder, after all, she saw the body of her friend.

According to her, she and Asamiya Kiriko were drinking buddies, but since last night, she had not replied to messages she sent to the deceased, so this morning, she went to the deceased's room.

"When I went to look for her, I found that the door of her house was open. I felt very incredible."

Hasegawa Ryoka seemed to recall the previous scene again, and explained with a pale face:

"Because Tongzi is usually more cautious than ordinary people, so she forgot to explain that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen,"

Therefore, thinking that the other party should be Ryoka Hasegawa at home, she entered the room to take a look. As a result, she found the other party's body on the floor of the bedroom, and immediately called the police.

After finishing the inquiry, Tang Ze nodded, "Thank you for your cooperation. It's ready. Please bear with me and acquiesce."

"Please catch the prisoner, please." Ryoka Hasegawa bowed to the two of them, and then walked towards the room.

"I didn't get any important clues." After the other party left, Sato Miwako shook her head and immediately looked at her partner, "Karazawa-kun, what do you think?"

"No, during the previous conversation, I didn't find anything unnatural in the other party's speech." Tang Ze shook his head slightly.

"Then let's move on to the next house." Miwako Sato said, then knocked on the door of the neighboring household.

This is a walk-in investigation. If you want to collect testimonies, you need to go door-to-door to see if you can collect any useful clues.

However, several companies in a row failed to gain anything, and they basically only came back in the middle of the night while working overtime, which made Tangze complain about Neon's social animal culture.

But there is nothing we can do. Visiting and investigating is inherently a matter of chance.

"Da da!"

Tangze went to the next floor and knocked on the door of the resident as usual. What popped out from behind the door was a messy afro with a pair of glasses on his face.

After announcing his intention to come, he did not expect that the college student named Yasuo Tanimori would give an important testimony.

"I was going to the convenience store, but when I was about to go out, I heard a loud clicking sound running down the stairs."

Yasuo Tanimori said with a gossipy face: "I didn't think much about it at the time. If I think about it now, could it be the footsteps of the prisoner after he escaped or something."

This is a piece of useful information. If the prisoner really escaped at that time, there might be witnesses.

By the way, this apartment is actually very old. The staircase is an old iron spiral staircase that connects each floor of the apartment. It is a very common apartment type in Japanese dramas. There are no units in a building, and all the doors open to the open-air corridor. There are many households living on the first floor.

After talking about this matter with Sato Miwako, the two went downstairs to ask the apartment manager. If the person who usually pays most attention to these things is the apartment manager.

The park ranger is a part-time employee of the landlord, a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Stranger? I didn't see it." After hearing the two people's inquiries, Saburo Kawara thought for a while and said, "Ah, by the way, although I didn't see it, I saw Miss Asamiya."

"When? Can you tell me specifically?" Hearing this, Tang Ze's expression perked up.

Although no information about the prisoner was found, if the whereabouts of the deceased could be known, that would be an important piece of information.

"Yesterday when I came to pick up the evening newspaper from the mailbox, I happened to pass by Ms. Asamiya who was returning home." Saburo Kawahara recalled: "She seemed to have come back from the station alone and passed in front of me. "

"When did that happen?" Miwako Sato asked.

"It happened to be the end of my favorite show, probably around 6 o'clock in the evening." Saburo Kawara scratched his head and said.

Hearing this, the eyes of Karasawa and Sato Miwako suddenly became sharp.

The whereabouts of the deceased and the estimated time of death are consistent, which is a very important piece of eyewitness information.

Because if this is the case, then the deceased was probably killed by the prisoner after meeting the administrator and the body was moved to the inside of the room.

"So how was Miss Asamiya's expression at that time?" Karasawa continued to ask.

"Well, this is really weird." After Karasawa reminded him, Saburo Kawara actually remembered something.

"I happened to pick up the newspaper at that time, and saw Ms. Asamiya running back in a hurry. She said "welcome back" as usual and said hello."

Saburo Kawahara frowned and recalled: "At that time, Miss Asamiya stopped and was stunned for a moment, then said "Hello" back, and hurried upstairs.

Normally she would take the initiative to say hello to me, but now that I think about it, it’s really strange. "

"That is to say, at that time, Ms. Asamiya may have been involved in some case."

Sato Miwako frowned and said: "But this way, it is ruled out that the deceased was killed outside and then moved to the bedroom."

"Then, what did you do after you met Miss Asamiya?" Tangze continued to ask, hoping that his testimony would be foolproof.

Because the other party's testimony is related to whether the scene of the deceased's murder was inside the house, Tang Ze cannot help but treat it with caution.

"I went back to my room directly. Oh, by the way, the owner of the vegetable shop opposite should also have seen it." Saburo Kawahara pointed to the opposite side and said.

According to Saburo Kawahara, the two went to the vegetable store opposite the apartment for verification and received testimony that Saburo Kawahara had indeed returned to his room.

Because it faced the apartment, the vegetable shop owner also witnessed Miss Asamiya hurried upstairs.

In other words, the deceased was indeed murdered in the room! !
