replied the policeman.

"what?"

When did this happen?

Bai Shilin frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and then tentatively asked: "I really don't remember seeing such a girl, can you tell me her name, or take a look at the photo? I can help you remember Take a moment, or ask among the tenants, to see if anyone knows such a person."

"This one……"

The two policemen hesitated for a moment, and one of them took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened a photo and handed it over, "Her name is Yamamoto Momo, she is a student of the Music Department of Tokyo Metropolitan University, and she is a junior this year..."

"?!"

When he heard the name of the school "Tokyo Metropolitan University", Rin Shiraishi opened his eyes slightly, as if a flash of light flashed in his mind.

If I remember correctly, Takaichi Shimizu from 104 is a student of this school, right?Moreover, that guy is also from the music department!

Thinking back to some time ago, Shimizu Takaichi often took a few classmates back to the apartment to rehearse music performances on weekends, and a possibility is already on the horizon—I am afraid that this Yamamoto Momo was the one who followed Shimizu at that time. Chong Yi, one of those college students who came to the apartment to rehearse, right? !

This guess was soon confirmed.

After seeing the photo on the police phone, Rin Shiraishi quickly confirmed that this guy was indeed one of Takaichi Shimizu's classmates, and she had seen it twice in the corridor of her apartment!

For a moment, a series of thoughts appeared in Shiraishi Rin's mind.

I even thought of the scene where Shimizu Takaichi and Yamamoto Momo became angry because of love, and they killed each other...

The two policemen obviously also saw the change in Shiraishi Rin's expression.

After thinking about it for a while, Shiraishi Rin gave an overview of Shimizu Takaichi's situation, and then called Shimizu Takaichi in front of the two policemen.

The latter answered the phone very quickly, and the phone was connected after only a few rings.

This guy seemed to be still sleeping, his voice was still sleepy, and his words were a little vague: "It's Miss Baishi, what happened?"

"It's Momo Yamamoto, the girl who came to the apartment with you...is missing now."

VOLUME 273: Chapter [-] The Last Witness

In the middle of talking, Shimizu Takaichi opened the door of room 104 and walked out of the room.

When he noticed the two policemen standing next to Shiraishi Rin, the guy cheered up, and then quickly walked towards Shiraishi Rin and the others in the corridor. The whole person gradually woke up from the hangover state, and the expression on his face His expression also became serious.

——When Shimizu Takaichi went out and walked a few steps, Shiraishi Rin smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which emanated from Shimizu Takaichi's body. If there is no accident, this guy may have a hangover last night When I came back, I didn't know where I went to drink.

Next, the two policemen spent a few more minutes repeating what they had just said to Shiraishi Rin to Shimizu Chongyi.

"So……"

"Regarding this matter, Mr. Shimizu Takaichi, do you have any clues worth providing?"

one of the policemen asked.

Shimizu Takaichi was silent for a while, as if he was accepting the sudden amount of information. After a while, he stammered and said: "Momo Yamamoto... I do know this girl, and at Christmas a few days ago, we They are indeed together..."

"Oh?"

Under the gaze of Shiraishi Rin and the two policemen, Shimizu Takaichi sorted out his words, and began to speak from the source of the matter:

"It's like this. Momo Yamamoto and I and three other classmates are very close friends. Not only do we have activities together during rehearsals, but we also often hang out together. At the end of November, we We agreed to go to Mount Fuji to see the snow together during Christmas this year.

We have done this trip several times.

On the 25th, we met at Minami-Senju Station and took the train to Yamanashi Prefecture together.

After spending two days in the village near Mount Fuji and watching the snow scene, we took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo on the night of the 27th.Because that day happened to be the birthday of another classmate, so we found a KTV to celebrate his birthday together.Later, after singing and eating cake, we went to a nearby hotel to stay for one night because it was too late..."

"How many of you have stayed in the hotel? Also, when was the last time you and Yamamoto Momo met? Did she show any abnormalities, such as receiving threatening messages from someone, or quarreling with family and friends? , have suicidal thoughts or something?"

One of the policemen had already pulled out his notebook from his pocket, and was recording while listening, asking a few more questions from time to time.

Shimizu Takashi thought for a while, and seemed to recall his experience a few days ago:

"There are four of us, two men and two women. We have two rooms. I live with another boy, and two girls live in one..."

"When I was in Yamanashi Prefecture, I didn't find anything unusual about her. After returning to Tokyo, she never showed any abnormalities, and she always behaved very lively. Finally, on the morning of the 28th, we broke up. I went straight back to the apartment from the hotel, because of the headache after a hangover, I turned off the computer and slept all day, and I didn't know what happened after that..."

"Momo Yamamoto is a very cheerful girl, I don't believe she would have suicidal thoughts because of something, let alone take action.

Moreover, no matter whether it was at school or outside, I didn't have any enemies with anyone, and my relationship with my family is also good...at least as far as I know, there should be no possibility of running away from home or being kidnapped sex. "

The two policemen looked at each other, and one of them asked again: "On the 28th, when did you leave the hotel, do you remember? Also, you separated at the hotel, and when you returned to the apartment, there were witnesses Can witnesses testify?"

"This... the owner of the hotel should be able to testify for me. There are also a few passers-by at the convenience store who have seen me before. If there is a surveillance camera in that area, they should be able to see my figure appearing. "

"yes……"

During Qingshui Chongyi's narration, Shiraishi Rin stood by and listened, until the two sides paused for a while, she interjected thoughtfully: "By the way, I can ask you, Mr. Qingshui, are you and that What's the matter with girls?"

"This one……"

Facing Shiraishi Rin's question, Shimizu Takaichi's expression became a little tangled, but he still chose to answer truthfully: "We are classmates, and...we have been in love for a while, she is my ex-girlfriend.

Later, we separated because of disagreements on some things, but we still get along with each other as friends. As far as I know, she should not have found a new boyfriend. "

"..."

Rin Shiraishi narrowed his eyes slightly, and went through the experience Takaichi Shimizu told in his heart, feeling that there was no obvious logical problem.

The reason for asking this question just now is because Shiraishi Rin had had such a guess when he saw Yamamoto Momo and others in the apartment corridor before.

Now it is confirmed from Qingshui Chongyi's population.

Thinking about it carefully, if a group of male and female college students of the same age and lively experience stay together, if there is no emotional entanglement, it will be a bit abnormal.It's just that Rin Shiraishi didn't expect it to be an "ex-girlfriend". She originally thought that she was the "future girlfriend" that Takaichi Shimizu was pursuing hard...

The two policemen next to him were still taking notes: "After we separated, have you contacted Yamamoto Tao? Also, can I ask the contact information of those people who were active with you and Yamamoto Tao? We want to confirm something with them."

"The separation time was on the morning of the 28th. Because I drank too much alcohol the night before, I was not fully awake at that time, so I slept straight into the night after I came back, and I didn't receive a call from her after that..."

Takaichi Shimizu's expression changed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Have you ever asked the hotel over at Ichome? Does the hotel owner know any clues?"

"...I asked. He said that the girl went to the convenience store after leaving the hotel. Then we asked the owner of the convenience store and learned from him that the girl had been to this apartment."

It was one of the policemen who spoke.

When he said this, the policeman turned his head and glanced at Rin Shiraishi.He actually explained this sentence once just now, but the description at that time was not very clear, and now adding the cause and effect of the entire Shenyin incident, a context emerged very clearly.

VOLUME 274: Chapter [-] Call from Misato Shimoshima

"So that's how it is..."

Shiraishi Rin was thoughtful.

No wonder these cops found their way to the apartment.

It seems that the owners of those hotels and convenience stores were either really unaware of the disappearance of Momo Yamamoto, or they just found an excuse to kick the trouble out, so the Shiraishi Apartment, which had nothing to do with Momo Yamamoto, became The target of the investigation by the two policemen.

Hmm... It can't be said that it doesn't matter at all.

Because Momo Yamamoto has indeed been to Shiraishi Apartment many times before, but he hasn't been here in the past few days.Considering that Takaichi Shimizu occupies a very important position in Momo Yamamoto's network, it is impossible for this guy to be completely removed from the case.

There is even the possibility that Takaichi Shimizu is the murderer of the disappearance.

After all, bad people don't write bad words on their faces, just like when a person with a spouse encounters a kidnapping or murder case, the other half will become the primary suspect. Hate is also a very common thing.

Taking a step back, no one living in the Shiraishi apartment is a normal human being except for Shiraishi Rin himself. The first to die before that, Mrs. Gu Chuan, is a private detective full of mysteries, while Shiroshima Misato is Compared with the policeman from the special department of the official department, Takaichi Shimizu's identity seems too ordinary. If we add a setting to hide the murderer...

It seems more grouped...

Of course, these are all baseless, just random guesses.

Judging from the current situation, this is just an ordinary disappearance case.

Since there is no supernatural aspect involved, there is no need for Rin Shiraishi to intervene. It is the wisest choice to hand over the investigation of the case to a more professional policeman.

The two police officers briefly sorted out the information obtained from the inquiry, and soon asked Shimizu Takaichi to go to cooperate with the investigation.

Strictly speaking, Takaichi Shimizu's current identity is already a bit close to a criminal suspect. Even if he is not the murderer, he is still one of the last people Momo Yamamoto had contact with before his disappearance. Knowing a lot, he is the key figure in the investigation of the case, and there are many things that need to be confirmed and confirmed from him.

In some cases, it may be necessary to cross-examine several times to rule out the possibility that Shimizu Takaichi lied for some purpose.

In addition, if you want to contact those colleagues from Tokyo Metropolitan University, you also need the cooperation of Takaichi Shimizu.

The Baishi apartment is not a suitable place to discuss these things. In order to avoid unnecessary setbacks, it is obviously more appropriate to go back to the police station for inquiries.

Shiraishi Rin had no objection to this.

Shimizu Takaichi also agreed.

After all, this guy and Yamamoto Momo were once a couple, and there was some affection there, and even after they broke up, they continued to be friends. Now that the latter disappeared for no reason, he was of course very anxious.

After tidying up briefly, Shimizu Takaichi hurriedly followed the two policemen and left. Before leaving, he also explained to Shiraishi Lin how to contact him if someone came to the apartment to find him.

Shiraishi Rin sent several people out of the apartment building, turned around and returned to the corridor.

At this time, the doors of rooms 102 and 103 were opened, among them, Hayami Iris just opened the door a small gap, stood there without saying a word and looked outside, as if she was a little curious about what happened in the corridor just now, But not exactly curious.

On the other hand, Yoshie Ogino came to the corridor, glanced at the door of the apartment, then looked away, and looked at Rin Shiraishi with concern: "What happened, Xiao Rin? I heard something in the room just now. , are you talking about the disappearance of Takaichi Shimizu’s classmate?”

"Yes."

Rin Shiraishi nodded, and told Yoshie Ogino the information he had just received from Takaichi Shimizu and the two police officers.

Yoshie Ogino is no stranger to the fact that Momo Yamamoto and others often came to the apartment during this time, and after listening silently at this time, she nodded slightly: "I probably understand...that is to say, according to the current point of view of the police, that girl should be older." The probability is that he was kidnapped or killed?"

"should be."

If the incident was purely caused by human factors, then the probability of kidnapping is the greatest.

But if there are also factors of strange power and chaos involved, the situation will be difficult to say.But at least as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no evidence that there are supernatural factors in the incident, and there should be no need to worry too much until more accurate investigation results come out.

"By the way, I have to go upstairs to do the cleaning..."

Shiraishi Rin remembered the cleaning in 404 before, slapped his head, and prepared to go back and continue working.

Ogino Yoshie asked if she needed help, and after getting a negative answer from her, she pursed her lips and smiled, and then she didn't go back to the room to close the door, but stood in the corridor, watching her run upstairs quickly.

Rin Shiraishi spent another 10 minutes or so cleaning the floor in 404, wiping down the tables and cabinets, then exited and re-locked the door, and went downstairs with a bucket.

For the next whole afternoon, Shimizu Takaichi never came back.

There is no news from Minami Senju Police Station.

Just when Rin Shiraishi was thinking about whether to learn about the progress of this case through the former Mitsui Juichi and see if she needed help, Shiroshima Misato called her mobile phone.
