The Advent of the Infinite King

Mao Lilan asked: "Is he the wolf of rice flower that I often hear recently?"

"Yes." The forensic officer said: "But he said that he only followed her because he liked her, and he didn't do anything strange to that lady, so we let him go home and asked him not to come again That's it."

Officer Mu Mu asked, "What kind of work did the deceased do before his death?"

The forensic officer replied: "He said he wanted to take the judicial examination, and he was preparing hard at that time."

Xie Chen asked, "Is the apartment where the lady lives near here?"

"Yes." The forensic officer said, "Just a little past the murder scene."

Xie Chen said: "The deceased was going to that young lady's house this morning, did he follow her again?"

Officer Mu Mu said, "What's the matter?" He was used to following Xie Chen's train of thought.

The forensic officer replied: "But that lady never went to the police station to report the crime after that time, so I think maybe after that time, he didn't follow that lady any more."

"Okay." Police Officer Meguro said: "In short, let's go see that lady first."

Then they came to the apartment in front of the street.

The one who opened the door was the young woman who was being followed, wearing home clothes, tall and slender, with an outstanding appearance, her hair was spread out over her shoulders.

Police officer Mu Mu told her what happened this morning, and the woman's expression was greatly surprised, "That person died?"

"Yes." Officer Meguro said: "Because he drank Katzman mixed with poison, this happened forty minutes ago, please forgive me, where have you been during this time? "

"If it was forty minutes ago..."

The young woman looked at the clock hanging on the wall, "At that time, I just came back here from the outside, and now I am working in a family-style restaurant in Yejingdo District during the day."

While speaking, she kept rubbing the palms hanging between her legs, "We close the store at four o'clock. After closing the store, I will do cleaning work. It should be around five o'clock when I leave the store."

Officer Megure said, "Did you take the tram from Yeido District to Mihua Station?"

The young woman nodded, her palms still rubbing together.

Officer Meguro continued: "When you leave the station, do you walk home?"

"That's right." The young woman didn't say much, she was a little embarrassed.

Mori Kogoro suddenly leaned into Officer Mumu's ear and whispered, "So, Officer, just do what Xie Chen said."

Officer Megure nodded, and said to the officer behind him, "Taguchi, bring me the map of this area."

A police officer named Taguchi put the map on the table. Officer Megure looked at the map and said, "Miss Nishitani, which way do you go from Mihua Station to this apartment?"

The young woman's name was Miho Nishiya, and the police officer had already told Officer Megure on the way here.

"Okay." Miho Nishiya pointed to the street on the map and said, "I came back from this road in front of this station."

"I knew it." Mori Kogoro said, "So, you must have passed the place where the vending machine and Mr. Nagai fell down."

"Ah?" Miho Nishiya suddenly became flustered, "What do you mean by that?"

Officer Megure said: "Mr. Nagai fell down at this place, that is to say, he was following you at that time."

"How could it be..." Nishitani Miho said: "But the policeman recently helped me to pay attention to this matter. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I only recently calmed down."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Seeing Miho Nishiya's expression, she seemed to really not know that Mr. Nagai was following her.

All the windows and doors are locked, and the house has prepared spray guns to prevent satyrs. It seems that the previous stalking incident caused her to have sequelae.

Afterwards, Police Officer Megure asked about some irrelevant things, but found no meaningful clues, so he closed the team for the time being, and came to the detective office in the afternoon to discuss the case with Mori Kogoro.

"The poison added to Katzman has been tested, and it is indeed an organophosphorus compound."

Police officer Megure sat on the sofa and said: "But only Mr. Nagai's fingerprints were found on the bottle, which means that this bottle of poisoned drink is probably prepared by the murderer in advance."

Mori Kogoro sat across from him and said, "Can you now confirm where the murderer bought that bottle of Katzman mixed with poison?"

"No." Officer Meguro shook his head and said: "This point has not been found out yet. If the bottle of drink came from that vending machine, judging from the date and sticker on the bottle..."

Police officer Mu Mu took the tea from Mao Lilan, took a sip, and put it on the table.

"It should have been sold from seven days ago to yesterday during the daytime. This is because after noon yesterday, all the dealers replaced the bottles with new dates on the bottles without stickers."

"That's right." Mori Kogoro said.

Officer Megure said: "It is said that Mr. Nagai's mother has just come from Shizuoka to Tokyo. We just let her see the room of the deceased and found this thing."

He took out a photo album from his briefcase and handed it to Kogoro Mori.

Mori Kogoro opened the album, and most of it contained photos of Miho Nishiya, "This is a photo of that lady this morning, and it seems that all of them were secretly photographed."

Police officer Mumu said: "Before I came here, I met this woman again. It seems that she didn't know about being secretly photographed. She was shocked when she heard it."

"Strange." Xie Chen, who was looking at the photo album, suddenly said, "This apartment is different from the one just now. It is neither a shop nor a restaurant."

Officer Megure said: "Because she lived in Yokohama for a while before coming to Rice Flower Market, she always hoped to open a cake shop there in the future, so she worked in a Western-style dessert shop."

Mori Kogoro said: "The reason why she moved to Mihua Town was to avoid Mr. Nagai?"

"It seems so."

Police officer Meguro said: "But under the influence of Mihua Wolf, she was very afraid of going to bed at night, so Ms. Nishitani said that she would choose to work in a family-style restaurant from night to day."
