Chapter 173 Motorcycle Rider (12)

Masumi Sera arrived at one of the car rental shops in Hakone at seven o'clock in the morning to wait.

Although the official website of this store shows that its opening hours are at 9 am.

But Masumi Sera believes that the store staff will definitely come to the store in advance to prepare for the opening of the store.

Sera Masumi was lucky. She only waited for about fifteen minutes when she came here and saw someone opening the rolling shutter door of the store with a key.

She hurriedly walked up and greeted the man who looked to be in his fifties:

"Good morning."

The man heard the sound and turned his head to look over.

"Sorry, we open at nine o'clock."

"I'm not here to rent a car. Are you Mr. Otsu?"

Masumi Sera found out through the car rental shop's official website that the name of the store manager was Otsu Teppei.

"What can I do for you?"

The man looked at Sera Masumi with confusion.

The man did not answer Sera Masumi's question, but asked him in turn.

After he knew that Sera Masumi was not here to rent a car, he immediately became wary of Sera Masumi.

Looking at the other party's reaction, Sera Masumi knew that her guess was not wrong. The other party must be the store owner Otsu Teppei.

"My name is Masumi Sera, and I am a detective from Tokyo."

"detective?"

The wariness on Otsu Teppei's face did not disappear.

Apparently he didn't fully believe Sera Masumi.

"What did the detective come to see me for?"

"Excuse me, this car belongs to Mr. Otsu's shop, right?"

Masumi Sera took out her mobile phone and showed Otsu Teppei the photo of the motorcycle that she saved from Miyamoto Yumi's surveillance video yesterday.

And she noticed.

After Otsu Teppei saw the photos on his mobile phone, his eyes obviously widened for a moment.

His reaction made De Shiliang Zhenchun feel a lot more relaxed.

This means she guessed correctly.

In this way, there is no need for Sera Masumi to waste time at another car rental shop.

"Please come in with me."

This time, before Sera Masumi could speak, Otsu Teppei welcomed Sera Masumi into the store.

After Sera Masumi and Otsu Teppei entered the store, they saw Otsu Teppei pull down the rolling shutter door outside again.

She went straight to the point and said:

"The rider of this motorcycle was suspected of a homicide. The surveillance camera only captured the body of the motorcycle, but not the license plate."

"But the word 'わ' on the license plate indicates that this motorcycle is rented, and I found that you are the only one in Hakone, and another shop four thousand meters away, that provides motorcycle rental services."

"So I want to investigate whether this motorcycle came from your shop, Mr. Otsu."

Although Otsu Teppei is much older than Sera Masumi.

But he is just an ordinary person after all.

After he heard that the motorcycle in his shop was related to the murder, he turned pale with fright.

Otsu Teppei hurriedly said:

"This motorcycle is indeed my shop's car, but I have no idea about the murder case!"

"After the motorcycle was rented out in August last year, the customer lost contact and the motorcycle was never recovered."

"Although I have already called the police, there has been no news from the police after all this time."

"Excuse me, what day is August specifically?"

Sera Masumi asked.

"I'll check."

Otsu Teppei came behind the counter, took out a pair of glasses and put them on his nose, then turned on the computer and started searching.

"It's August 23rd."

"This motorcycle is probably a Kawasaki Z900RS. I remember the price should be close to 3 million yen, but you don't seem to be in a hurry at all."

Sera Masumi stared at Otsu Teppei and spoke.

"After all, a deposit is collected, and the motorcycles in my shop are insured. Even if they are lost, the insurance company will pay for them."

Teppei Otsu said.

Hearing this, Sera Masumi also nodded slightly, acknowledging Otsu Teppei's statement.

"Then could you please tell me the information about the tenant at that time?"

It stands to reason that Teppei Otsu would have flatly rejected this kind of thing in the past.

But after all, a murder was involved, and the guest committed the theft of a motorcycle, so Otsu Teppei no longer had the need to protect the other party's privacy.

"Give."

Otsu Teppei said, and handed the information that the original customer filled out when renting the motorcycle to Sera Masumi.

Sera Masumi took a look and saw that the person who rented the car was named "Ryan Sakemi" and his address was in Osaka Prefecture.

The purpose of renting a motorcycle this time is to use it when traveling in Hakone.

"The information filled in here must be all false, right?"

"Yes, that's what the police said. Not only the name, address, but also the phone number are fake."

Teppei Otsu said.

"Did you scan the other party's driver's license?"

Sera Masumi asked.

The other party will definitely show their driver's license when renting a car, and the car rental shop will also scan and copy the driver's license.

"Yes, but the police officer in charge of the investigation at the time also said that all the information on this driver's license was false."

"It doesn't matter, I just need to know what the other person looks like."

Sera Masumi said.

She never thought from the beginning that she could get the person's personal information so easily.

After all, if the other party was really the murderer of the car accident,

then she should have decided to kill Akikawa Ryoko when she rented the car, so she would definitely not leave real personal information.

The other party's deliberate concealment of personal information also shows that her purpose of renting the motorcycle is not pure.

Sera Masumi basically confirmed that the renter of this motorcycle was the real murderer who killed Akikawa Ryoko.

Although the other party filled in false personal information.

But even if the personal information is false, the photo on the other party's fake driver's license must be real.

Because if the driver's license photo taken by the other party is a completely different person from the other party, Otsu Teppei will definitely not rent the motorcycle to her.

"That customer should be a very slender woman, right?"

"Yes, I'll find you the driver's license photo she provided at the time."

Otsu Teppei said, and started to operate the computer.

While recalling, he said to Masumi Sera:

"Speaking of which, I still have a deep impression of the woman who rented the car."

"The woman's makeup was quite exaggerated."

"Most importantly, the woman had a very conspicuous tattoo on her face."

Otsu Teppei said, and after clicking the mouse, he turned his computer screen to Masumi Sera.

Masumi Sera hurriedly looked at the computer screen.

Then he saw a woman with short reddish-brown mushroom-shaped hair next to the fake name "Rian Jiumei".

At the same time, as Otsu Teppei said, the woman in the photo had a very heavy makeup on her face, and her lips were painted dark purple.

The most conspicuous thing was the swallowtail butterfly tattoo on the other person's left eye.
