Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner Chapter 264 - 185: The Naive Truth
Minamoto Tamako’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, could the murderer be Mr. Fushimi?
Ssss, on closer thought, it seems Mr. Fushimi really is the most suspicious! Looking at the whole scene, the only one Oogami Spirit dium had offended was Mr. Fushimi. With his petty personality, he would definitely harbor a grudge secretly. She was worried at the ti that Mr. Fushimi might retaliate out of spite, and now it seems, maybe in a fit of anger...
No.
Minamoto Tamako squinted her eyes, realizing she had been led astray by Fushimi Roku. They had been together the entire ti during the incident; Fushimi Roku hadn’t left her sight, how could there have been ti for him to commit a murder?
She felt this wasn’t the ti for jokes and was about to accuse Fushimi Roku of not being serious, but then she changed her mind, thinking Fushimi Roku couldn’t be shooting in the dark, and it seems she indeed hadn’t treated everyone equally...
Thinking of this, Minamoto Tamako cast her gaze upon Yazaki Momo. The latter was standing under the crystal lamp, checking her film.
"Are you suggesting..." She felt an ominous suspicion.
Fushimi Roku directly waved at Yazaki Momo, signaling her to co over. Yazaki Momo, suspecting nothing, put away her film and ca over to the edge of the sofa, inadvertently glancing at the body of Oogami Nui as she passed by: "What’s up?"
Fushimi Roku got straight to the point and asked, "Given the special circumstances, are you not going to confess sothing voluntarily?"
Hearing this, Minamoto Tamako widened her eyes, observing the expressions on the faces of both people.
Could it be that Miss Yazaki is the real murderer?
Ssss, indeed, from the timing of the cri, Yazaki Momo is the most suspicious. Turn left past the lobby to reach the restroom, the closest distance to the water source, and without any eyewitnesses around, it’s easy to co and go at will...
"Confess to what?" Yazaki Momo looked innocent.
Fushimi Roku cleared his throat, then turned to Minamoto Tamako and asked, "Do you rember Shirakawa Miki?"
The latter nodded, of course she rembered the perverted housewife next door. Seeing this, Fushimi Roku continued, "After Senior Kazama ca back, he gave us a call and asked where we were... This ans he had already knocked on our door."
"Uh, so what?"
Minamoto Tamako couldn’t understand how things could involve Senior Kazama.
"Shirakawa Miki was always listening at our door, so when Senior Kazama ca, she must have greeted him too. Otherwise, when Senior Kazama ca back ho with us, he’d have definitely asked, ’Who is this person?’"
"He went straight in, which shows he knew Shirakawa Miki was the apartnt manager; before that, he stood with us for a mont, indicating he didn’t know why Shirakawa Miki was quarreling with Miss Yazaki."
Fushimi Roku fixed his gaze on Yazaki Momo, his tone becoming aggressive: "Do you see the problem here? Why does Shirakawa Miki have such a different attitude towards the sa unexpected visitor?"
"Yeah, why?" Minamoto Tamako turned her head.
Before Yazaki Momo could argue, Fushimi Roku answered his own question: "I have two theories; one: Miss Yazaki was invited by Shirakawa Miki, the latter wanting to convince that spirits exist in this world, while the forr was pondering whom to have as an observer during the Spirit Summoning Ceremony, and they hit it off, staging a show at my doorstep to dispel our suspicion... But this theory is sowhat far-fetched, so I lean more towards the second theory."
Fushimi Roku paused, and calmly said: "Two, Miss Yazaki is a mber of the Aum Truth Sect headquarters, recognized by Shirakawa Miki, who considered her a heretic, thus repeatedly warning that ’this woman is up to no good, she’s not a good person’."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yazaki Momo retorted: "Then why didn’t she just say so? Besides, all these are baseless assumptions, you can’t just suspect of being the murderer because I argued with a crazy woman, can you?"
"Who said you were the murderer?" Fushimi Roku countered.
"Eh?"
Minamoto Tamako and Yazaki Momo were both astonished, and the forr couldn’t help but raise her hand and ask: "Aren’t we solving a murder case now?"
"Is that stuff important?"
Fushimi Roku waved it off, swiftly moving past the speculation, feeling quite good about himself now, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of deduction. In revealing the truth, he couldn’t help but put one hand on his hip, relaxedly standing on one leg, saying: "You are another assistant of Oogami Nui, aren’t you?"
This ti Yazaki Momo stayed silent.
"I found it odd before; the police sent a reporter to follow and investigate, but Mrs. Nakako didn’t object, and Oogami Nui didn’t object either? She could have easily made an excuse saying ’no outsiders allowed during the Spirit Summoning Ceremony’, preventing outsiders from coming in... Why let a reporter, who might spill the beans at any mont, co in? What good does it do her?"
Fushimi Roku exposed the tricks of the charlatan: "In the cara bag, there should be another signal transmitter, right? When Oogami Nui was performing, you pretended to take out the cara, but in reality, you were pressing the remote control chaotically, and the typewriter only ’lost control’ then..."
Minamoto Tamako couldn’t help but ask: "Then how do you explain the carp thrown up by Mrs. Oogami?"
"If you’ve seen Chinese acrobatics, familiar with Ayako’s trade, you’ll know this is the basics," Fushimi Roku showed disdain: "People there can swallow steel balls as big as fists without a problem, not only swallowing them but spitting them out... So what’s spitting out a carp?"
Yazaki Momo was still not resigned, she grasped her bag tightly and said: "Then how do you explain the sound of the water bell? And the noises upstairs..."
Fushimi Roku interrupted: "The Hour of Witching is from seven to nine, or three to nine. Why did Oogami Nui deliberately delay and hold the Spirit Summoning Ceremony at exactly two?"
This ti Minamoto Tamako jumped in to answer, raising her hand she said: "I know! Because Mrs. Oogami might have scouted around, observing the water level outside the villa, and waited until the Water Bell Cave pool was about to overflow, at which point she ca in to prepare for the Spirit Summoning Ceremony!"
"Exactly!"
Fushimi Roku paused for a mont, then reached out and said: "Of course, all the above are subjective suppositions. To clear Miss Yazaki’s na, please allow us to check your bag."
This ti Yazaki Momo had no way out.
She had only had a bite of lon, how could she have diarrhea right after swallowing it? Even laxatives aren’t that strong! The reason she went to the bathroom was to hide the signal transmitter.
Unexpectedly, the restroom in Wulin Temple was also in a Japanese wabi-sabi style, completely different from the ssy restroom stalls in her ho, inside was spotlessly clean, with just a pit and nothing else, the pit was even wickedly small, she feared the signal transmitter might get stuck inside.
Yazaki Momo figured since her identity had not yet been exposed, she might not be that unlucky, she decided to put the signal transmitter back in her bag. But what she feared truly happened, now she was caught red-handed, unable to make excuses.
"In view of the commission, could you spare so dignity?" Yazaki Momo brought her hands together, imploring: "Please keep this confidential, or else I’ll be out of job..."
