Chapter 16: The Overlooked Person

"Senichi-kun, did you find anything?"

"No, although this room is not too big, it is very messy. It's difficult to find clues."

In the room of the deceased, Senichi shook his head helplessly when he heard Miwako Sato's words.

At this moment, the two have returned to the crime scene to investigate again, but the result is still nothing.

"I think we need to sit down and sort out the current situation." Senichi frowned and said, "This kind of investigation without a goal depends too much on luck."

Senichi is a relatively methodical person in his work.

Use the integrated planning method to plan your own itinerary. If it is not important to deliberately go out then its fine, but if you go out, you must complete more than one thing you want or need to complete.

Well, you can say you're lazy if you want.

In short, although case investigation is work and needs to be done carefully, Senichi also hopes to complete the work in a more reasonable and efficient manner. It is absolutely impossible to waste energy blindly and without a plan.

"Let's go, there really isn't a good solution right now, so let's go to a nearby coffee shop and sort it out again." Miwako Sato thought for a while, and felt that Senichi accepted the proposal.

Although the crime scene is fine, but the other party's house is too messy, there is no place for the two of them to sit, let alone calm down and sort out the case from the beginning, it is better to find a quiet place.

After driving for three streets, the two found a coffee shop and ordered coffee, and began to sort out this case.

First of all, there was a motive to kill Miss Asamiya, so far, Tashiro Kamikawa is the only one.

But the other party currently has a perfect alibi, which can basically rule out the other party's suspicion.

"Since his alibi is impeccable, and there are no tricks, and we can't find any flaws at the moment, let's rule out the line "Kamikawa Tashiro is the murderer" for now."

Senichi ruled out this line first in his notebook, and wrote down the words "Kamikawa Tashiro is not the murderer".

"You mean to look for the culprit on the premise that Kawatashiro is not the murderer?" Miwako Sato understood Senichi's meaning, "List all the possibilities, and then rule them out one by one?"

"Well, since Kamikawa Tashiro's line is stuck, we need to change our thinking."

Senichi nodded and said: "Now the news and testimonies we have investigated in the morning are enough to show that Miss Asamiya died in her own home, so this is enough to narrow the scope."

As he spoke, Senichi began to give examples one by one in his notebook.

First of all, it is the apartment manager. He is familiar with Ms. Asamiya, and may have a spare key to her room, so he has conditions to enter the room.

But he returned to the room after saying hello, and the owner of the vegetable shop testified, so it was ruled out.

Then there was Ryoka Hasegawa, the first person who discovered the body. The two were drinking buddies, so it was easier to enter each other's room, but committing a crime requires a motive. So far, there is no such thing.

"This is a place that needs to be investigated." Miwako Sato nodded, "Is there anything else?"

"Eh..." Senichi paused while holding the pen, and said in embarrassment, "No more..."

The college student is simply a stranger... he didn't know the deceased before, let alone go to the convenience store afterwards.

It is Senichi's suggestion to reorganize the case, but there is only so much information at present, and it feels a bit anticlimactic at the moment.

"Damn it, is it really a burglary murder?" Miwako Sato was a little discouraged, "Although the deceased's room was messy, no money was lost..."

Senichi thought about it, and then wrote down "the boots on the deceased's feet" in his notebook. He always felt that this was very important.

"Officer Sato, from a woman's point of view, do you think the boots on the deceased's feet were not taken off in time, or were they put on by the criminal?" Senichi asked Miwako Sato, who was also a woman.

"Well, I feel that the deceased was killed before she could take off her boots, and it was at the entrance."

"Why do you think so?" Senichi asked.

"First of all, those boots are very troublesome to put on." Miwako Sato said, "Don't think that the laces below are just decorations, as long as you untie the top laces, you can put them on smoothly.

If the knee-length boots are not loosened as a whole, even if the feet can pass through the long boots, you will get stuck on the upper part of the shoe, so the shoelaces need to be loosened as a whole.

And it's easy to loosen the shoelaces, but it takes a little bit to tighten them up.

And the deceased's room was so messy, if she wanted to go into the bedroom or the balcony to do something, I don't think Miss Asamiya would take off his shoes on purpose, it's very likely that she just put on her shoes and stepped in.

In the same way, if the criminal killed the deceased, he would probably choose to leave the scene immediately instead of trying to put his boots on again. "

Speaking of this, Miwako Sato took a sip of coffee and said, "So it is unlikely that the deceased walked into the bedroom after taking off her shoes, but was killed before taking off her shoes at the entrance."

Thinking of the sloppy room, Senichi couldn't help but smile wryly, and had to admit that what Miwako Sato said made sense.

"Shoes, why is this case only dealing with shoes, boots and high heels..." Such a thought flashed through Senichi's mind.

And at this moment, the familiar light reappeared in Senichi's mind, but this time it was not as fleeting as last time, but flashed across Senichi's brain like lightning!

"Boom!"

Senichi stood up abruptly, with such momentum that he wanted to throw the coffee on the table. Fortunately, Sato Miwako on the opposite side reflexively held the coffee cup, looked up at Senichi and said, "Senichi-kun, what's wrong, did you think of something?"

"I'm sorry, I was too excited." Senichi sat down and drank the coffee in one gulp to ease his dry tongue: "Sato-san, we actually forgot such an important suspect!!"

"Eh? Who is it?" Miwako Sato looked puzzled.

After Senichi calmed down, he slowly said, "The owner of those white high heels! Although she didn't show up, it doesn't mean she has nothing to do with the case!"

"Kamikawa Tashiro's girlfriend!?"

Miwako Sato also had a look of sudden realization when she heard the words, "Yes, how can I forget her, as Kamikawa Tashiro's girlfriend, there is a motive.

Moreover, there is a key to Miss Asamiya's room in Kamikawa Tashiro's room. It is not impossible for her to accidentally find the key! "

"That's true. Perhaps the other party discovered the key by accident, and later became aware of Miss Asamiya's existence."

Senichi nodded and said, "Then she sneaked into Miss Asamiya's house while Kamikawa went fishing with his friends yesterday."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly." Miwako Sato drank the coffee in two or three sips, and then got up to leave, looking resolute and determined.

It's just that Miwako Sato found out when the two got into the car and drove for a certain distance.

It seems that Senichi drove in the wrong direction?
