Chapter 244 Seeing through the alibi

"But...but..."

Faced with such an excited reaction from Takayama Ayase, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to say.

"That...Teacher Gao Shan."

At this time, Gao Yuan suddenly asked, "Who is the 'that person' you are talking about?"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Gao Yuan's inquiry, Gao Mushe suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Teacher Gao Shan, you have never mentioned to us that Professor Zeguchi had such a past before. Perhaps, the person who killed Professor Zeguchi, It’s the ‘that person’ you mentioned! So, can you tell me who the ‘that person’ is?”

"it's out of the question."

After listening to Takagi Wataru's inquiry, Takayama Ayase shook her head in vain, "Because that person died more than ten years ago!"

"Hey...is that so?"

Hearing this, Takagi Wataru couldn't help but be a little surprised, "In other words, Professor Sawaguchi has remained single for so many years because of a dead person?"

"kindness."

Takayama Ayase nodded sadly:

"When I heard the news of that man's death from Zhenyu, I was shocked. I didn't expect that such a talented pharmacist would die like this. For this reason, I also advised Zhenyu, Let her let go of the past and try to embrace a new future.”

"Then her ex-boyfriend dated after this?"

Hearing this, Gao Mushe seemed to understand something, so he asked.

After hearing Takayama Ayase's narration, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He lowered his head and pondered - that person?

The Takayama Ayase in front of me...and Sawaguchi Mayu, who was a former medical student in Toto...twenty-three years ago...is it possible? No way!

"That's right."

Takayama Ayase said, "When I saw Mayu starting to date someone else, I thought she had walked out. However, when they were about to talk about marriage, Mayu suddenly regretted it - because she had always Can’t forget that person.”

"So, this is also the reason why Mr. Adachi and Professor Sawaguchi have conflicts, right?"

Takagi Wataru asked, and the so-called Mr. Adachi is Sawaguchi Mayu’s ex-boyfriend, whose full name is Adachi Kazuo.

"right!"

Speaking of this, Ayase Takayama couldn't help but get a little excited, "Because of this incident, Kazuo Adachi has never been able to forgive Mayu, and even stalked and harassed Mayu for a time. Almost all the rumors about Mayu were made by Kazuo Adachi... Mr. Police Officer! The murderer must be Adachi Kazuo. After all, on the day of the incident, Adachi Kazuo came to school and had a big fight! "

In response, Takagi Wataru could only wave his hands helplessly:

"Calm down, Teacher Takayama. As we have said before, although Mr. Adachi did have an argument with Professor Sawaguchi on the day of the incident, after all, he has a perfect alibi, so..."

"He must have used some trick!"

Takayama Ayase said unwillingly.

"However, the current situation does not reveal any loopholes in Mr. Anda's alibi, so..."

As Gao Mushe spoke, he looked at Gao Yuan who was silent on the side with some embarrassment, and then continued:

"Mr. Akechi thinks so too, right?"

"ah?"

Hearing Gao Mushe calling his name, Gao Yuan came back to his senses and responded, then thought for a moment and asked:

"Officer Takagi, actually I have a question that I haven't figured out yet. The deceased was only discovered in the afternoon of the next day, right? For corpses found the next day, the time of death can generally only be assigned to a certain time period. Within the range. But you said before that the deceased’s death time was around seven o’clock in the evening. This is a very accurate time. Why is that?”

Takagi Wataru explained:

"Ah, you said this. Indeed, if we infer from changes in the corpse, such as ultrasonic reaction, cold corpse, cadaver spots, rigor mortis, etc., we can only delineate an approximate time of death, and then further analyze the gastrointestinal By inferring the degree of digestion of the content, the scope can be further narrowed.”

With that said, Takagi Wataru took out the police manual, read the contents, and continued:

“In this incident, because we can accurately know Professor Sawaguchi’s eating situation and eating time on the day of the incident by restoring Professor Sawaguchi’s movement trajectory that day, we can know the estimated time of death more accurately. "

Hearing this, Gao Yuan seemed to have discovered something and asked:

"Can you tell me about the deceased's movements and eating habits that day?"

"OK."

Looking through the police manual, Takagi Wataru explained:

"Professor Sawaguchi came to the school's office at 8:30 in the morning on the day of the incident. At around 9 o'clock, Mr. Adachi also came to the school and had a quarrel with Professor Sawaguchi in the office. This process lasted about ten After about a minute, Mr. Adachi left angrily. Then, during lunch break at 12 noon, Professor Sawaguchi ate his own lunch in the office. After that, it was three o'clock in the afternoon..."

With that said, Takagi Wataru pointed to the cake shop where he was now, and then said:

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, Professor Zeguchi also ate a cake set at this cake shop, and then went home around three-thirty. Finally, at about seven o'clock in the evening, Professor Zeguchi was at home He cooked dinner and was killed before he could eat it.”

"Is the time so precise?"

After listening to the timeline compiled by Takagi Wataru, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, because every time before eating, Zhenyu is used to taking pictures of the food she wants to eat and posting them on her 'Twitter' account homepage."

Takayama Ayase explained.

"Yes, we checked Professor Zeguchi's Twitter page and found that it was indeed the case. The food photos she sent on the day of the incident and the time of posting were consistent with the clues we had. At the same time, it was also because the next day Professor Sawaguchi’s account did not post photos on time, so Professor Sawaguchi’s sister felt strange. After going to the apartment to check, she discovered the fact that Professor Sawaguchi had been killed.”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sit upright, folding his hands on his chest, as if he thought of something, and showed a sudden look.

In this regard, Takagi Wataru, who saw Gao Yuan's expression, couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Mr. Akechi! Do you... already know what's going on?"

"I guess so."

Gao Yuan said calmly, and then asked Gao Mushe a question:

"Officer Takagi, if we only look at the changes in the body, when did the forensic doctor estimate the time of death of the deceased?"

"This? Let me ask!"

Faced with this problem, Takagi Wataru was obviously unprepared, but he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call to inquire.

"If we only look at the changes in the body, the time of death of the deceased should be between 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock in the evening."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Mushe informed Gao Yuan of the result.

In response, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile knowingly——

"Officer Takagi, I saw through the murderer's alibi!"
