51 Chapter 51: Unnatural Actions

On the side, Yuichi was still chattering. At this moment, it had changed from when they were young to when they were in junior high school.

Seeing that he was about to enter high school, Senichi quickly interrupted his self-talk and asked, "Yuichi-san, you live in room 2415 on the 25th floor, right? I wonder what you were doing during the time of the crime?"

"Ah... I didn't have an alibi at that time. On the night the old man was killed, I was writing songs alone in my room.

But I didn't kill anyone! How could my brother and I kill people? You must have made a mistake! ! "

Sure enough, after questioning the second brother, they found nothing, and the other party also did not have an alibi.

"It's troublesome, the two brothers must already know who the criminal is." Takagi scratched his head, "I didn't do it myself, so it must have been done by the other party, and they must be protecting the other party.

It's even possible that the two committed the crime together, but as long as we can't confirm who the culprits are, we won't be able to arrest them. "

"Let's ask Natsumi-san first, maybe we can gain something."

.....

"I still can't believe that it was Yoichi and Yuichi who killed Saburo-san..." Natsumi burst into tears as she spoke, "Saburo-san treats the two of them as his own sons..."

"My condolences. Natsumi-san, you lived in room 2610 on the 26th floor yesterday, right next door to Kirishin-san, right ?"

Senichi comforted and asked, "No matter how small it is, I wonder if there was anything unusual last night?"

"No... nothing special..." Natsumi Sayuri thought for a moment and shook her head, "Yesterday I finished dinner with Saburo-san, Yoichi, and Yuichi at around nine o'clock in the evening.

Later, because Saburo-san had a serial article to write in the monthly magazine, he went back to the room... But I didn't expect that it would be the last time I saw Saburo..."

Saying that, Natsumi Sayuri couldn't help but cry. It was too tragic for a woman who was about to get married but lost her lover the moments before she stepped into the wedding.

And these are the three people involved in the case, and the suspects are locked on two brothers.

The older brother Yoichi with a peaceful personality and the younger brother Yuichi who went his own way in the case, one of the two brothers with completely opposite personalities is definitely a criminal.

"It can't be helped, let's go back to the crime scene." Senichi frowned and said in thought, "I always feel that something has been missed."

Senichi and Police Officer Takagi once again took the elevator to the 26th floor where the deceased was killed. However, this time they did not rush to the crime scene as before, but Senichi made a different discovery.

Not far from the elevator, there is a potted flower arrangement made of lavender and miscanthus. Although it is a bit strange, the style is beautiful. Needless to say, it is also the flower arrangement of Moonlight.

"Officer Takagi, are the sunflowers you were looking for before placed in the same place on the 25th floor?" Senichi asked, pointing to the flower arrangement not far away.

"Ah, yes, I asked someone. The sunflowers at the scene of the crime were flower arrangements placed on the 25th floor, and they were probably placed in the same position." Although Takagi didn't know why, he still replied.

"That's strange... Why didn't the murderer use the 26th-floor potted flower, but could go get the sunflower instead?" Senichi rubbed his chin and pondered.

"It's strange. I don't know if there is any intention in it." Takagi agreed after hearing the words.

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's go to the escape route."

The two came to the escape route again, and when they opened the door, the gust of wind howled, making Senichi push it away with great difficulty.

After all, this is the height of the 26th floor, so there will naturally be a lot of wind.

"Officer Takagi, please go to the place where the body fell."

Returning to the crime scene , the first thing that comes to mind is the forensics team's testimony about fingerprints, so in order to verify the reasoning, Senichi asked Takagi to cooperate.

"Eh?"

Takagi turned his head when he heard the words, but saw Senichi frowning in thought, shook his head helplessly and walked straight down.

When Takagi was standing at the place where the deceased had fallen, Senichi, who was standing there, could not see Officer Takagi at all.

"You really can't see it..."

In this spiral stairwell, there is a turning platform in the middle of the stairs, and this platform just forms a dead angle with the platform of the escape door.

And this happens to be the place where the dead fall. If you don't go down a few stairs, you won't be able to look like the victim!

The method of death of the deceased is also very concerning. Although the back of the neck was stabbed, it was not the direct cause of death, but the death was caused by continuous bleeding.

"Wait? So the murderer is...?"

Senichi frowned and pondered, but his doubts grew even more, "What did I overlook...Why did the murderer intervene in such unnatural actions...?"

For a moment, Senichi seems to be caught in a dead end. He had a premonition that if he gathered the last fragment, he would directly break the big wall in front of him!

But before that, he felt as if he was outside the gate at the end of the maze, but he didn't have the key to open the gate in his hand.

While meditating like this, the time passed into the afternoon without knowing it.

"Hey, Senichi, did you find anything?" Seeing Senichi pondering for hours in the lobby of the hotel, Takagi asked expectantly.

"There are some, but there are still a few clues left, clues that connect everything together." Senichi stood up, moving his stiff body after sitting for a long time.

"I still haven't studied enough." Senichi sighed helplessly: "If I had enough ability, I'm afraid this case would have been solved sooner..."

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and think about it later." Takagi said in relief, "No one can do anything about it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Dinner? So early?" Senichi asked doubtfully, "It's only nearly six o'clock, right?"

"Ah, Natsumi-san invited us to dinner." Takagi explained with some embarrassment: "She said that she had made an appointment with Kirishin-san to have dinner tonight, but who knew... Natsumi-san is not in the mood to eat up.

Because the ingredients are all freshly imported, there is no way to cancel the reservation. She saw that we are busy with Mr. Kirishin 's case, asked us to accept it..."

"Officer Takagi, this seems a bit out of order..." Senichi said helplessly, "We are still handling the case, accepting treats from relevant people..."

"That's what I said too..." Takagi said with a bitter face and helplessness when he heard the words: "But the waiters have already started serving food... It will be very difficult if we don't go..."

So, you, a good old man, really don't know how to refuse! !
