Chapter 64. The Muppets are moving-
The inside of the room was filled with the stench of blood, making people cringe at the smell.
Kitagawaji did not move the corpse.
If you touch the body without permission and leave some traces on him, it will be a lot of trouble again.
He gingerly walked back and forth, scanning the body's condition.
The gaping hole in his throat was a fatal wound from a single blow, and then he covered the dying Ryou Sato's mouth with his hand, restraining him from moving.
The bloody handprints on top of the tatami mats were scattered, and there seemed to be grass clippings from the tatami mats under the nails of the deceased, so he should have struggled slightly before he died, but it was of little use.
Kitagawaji tugged at the hair on his forehead, and his thoughts collided in his head.
The murderer should be the woman Sato Ryou brought home last night.
But a woman, how can simply subdue Sato Ryou? How could she even keep him from making a single movement? Even the neighbor next to him did not react?
"Did an acquaintance commit the crime?" Kitagawaji's gaze was deep, and he finally came to a conclusion.
Only an acquaintance would be able to leave Sato Ryou's back unguarded to the other party.
And the other party is a woman...
Kitagawaji's heart was secretly on the ground.
Sakiya Yuki was also a woman, so maybe she had something to do with this case?
If it was Sakiya Yuki...
Kitagawaji put on his shoes and walked out of the house, looked at the middle-aged man who was shivering and watching him like a ghost and asked.
"Did you hear any sound coming from room 265 last night?"
"No, I didn't hear anything! I don't know anything!"
The middle-aged man was obviously frightened to the point of demonization, and Kitagawaji shook his head frantically as soon as he spoke.
"..." Kitagawaji.
Kitagawa-ji raised his hand and gave him a slap without expression, and asked coldly.
"Sober up a bit?"
Uh-huh.
The middle-aged man was slapped by Kitagawaji and took a sharp breath of cold air before he came back to his senses.
He looked at Kitagawaji warily before nodding gently.
"Did you hear any movement coming from room 265 last night?" Kitagawa-ji asked once more.
"... I... I really didn't hear anything... There was a sound of the door opening in the middle." The middle-aged man covered his face, and only after he came back to his senses did he feel the strength of Kitagawaji's hand just now.
But he somehow did not dare to resist the young man in front of him, and could only reply with a resigned face and a bowed head.
"There was a sound in the middle?"
"Yes... Because the sound of the security door was always loud, I even went to the balcony and cursed that guy Sato's. After that I fell asleep, and then today, I came out... I complained twice about you, and then it was gone." The tall middle-aged male said in a condescending manner.
The middle-aged tall male should not be lying.
His bullying character should not dare to kill Sato Ryou.
While Kitagawaji was thinking, the tall middle-aged male just wanted to look up and say something, but he just saw the tiny Muppet lying on Kitagawaji's shoulder.
The Muppet's mouth was haphazardly sewn with a red crosshair shape, with hideous patches, and from his angle, the incongruous feeling made him uncomfortable all over.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the middle-aged male seemed to feel that the little Muppet was watching him...
In the middle-aged male gaze, has been quietly lying small Muppet surprisingly ... Surprisingly, the eyes moved, the eyes like a living thing actually turned to look directly at themselves!
"It moved !!!!" The middle-aged male who was already scared inside screamed, reaching out his hand trembled violently like an epileptic pointing at Kitagawaji, the whole person also sprayed saliva, nearly pissed with fear.
Moved?
Kitagawaji thoughtfully glanced at the poor Nishikujo, who emerged from the scarf
Expressionlessly pressed her back and then calmly said.
"Your eyes are blurry."
After saying this, Kitagawaji did not care about the middle-aged male who was still chanting 'the Muppet moved, the Muppet moved', and looked at the landlord with glasses behind him.
"Little... Little brother, you've already called the police, right?" The thank-you landlord had only just finished throwing up at this point, and asked, feeling up from the ground with difficulty.
"Almost there too."
Kitagawaji nodded.
The police should be arriving soon, he will probably spend the whole day in the police station to conduct a set of transcript interrogation process.
The thought of it made Kitagawaji shake his head again.
Let's hope it won't take too long in the end.
He really does not have much time to waste.
...
The next step in the process is very simple.
Kitagawaji followed the police officers who arrived at the scene back to the police station, and the tenants of the dilapidated apartment building were naturally brought along.
It is possible that because of the reason that Ryoko Gonzo called, Kitagawaji just went through the interrogation statement, and was pulled over to ask a few questions individually, and then was released from the police station.
The questions they asked were not complicated, the general idea is that Kitagawaji today to find Sato Ryou what is the matter, why today to find.
Kitagawaji, who had been prepared, of course, answered the questions correctly.
The criminal is not him anyway, he walks the talk, so what is there to fear?
"But time is indeed wasted.
Kitagawaji thought with an expressionless face.
Now it was moonlight again and night had fallen again.
He had just looked at his watch and found that it was now past eight o'clock.
Even with the help of Ryoko Gonzo, the case involving human life really took a lot of time.
Sitting on a bench nearby, Kitagawaji's heart remained unmoved by the instant lunch in his hands.
The delicious meal prepared in the hotel should not be able to eat ...
When he thought that he had paid a lot of money for three meals at that bed-and-breakfast hotel, but he had only eaten one meal since yesterday, Kitagawaji could not help but frown, eat the lunchbox in his hand and stand up.
He has no inner turmoil, and now he is just thinking about how to get into Sucha High School next.
The two psychic forum owners seemed to be heading to Sucha High School.
When he thought about it, Kitagawa-ji naturally had to start moving too.
"Poor thing, are you sure about this?" He asked, looking over his shoulder at Nishikujo Pitiful, who had unknowingly emerged from his scarf.
This little guy, when it comes to the night, is extraordinarily rowdy, simply can't hold it in inside the scarf.
Under the gaze of Kitagawaji, Nishikujo poor round hands outstretched, than a big '○', indicating that there is no problem.
"Then later on it depends on you, even if you can't remember not to force yourself." Kitagawaji stretched out a finger and poked Nishikujo's poor little head.
The poor Nishikujo hugged Kitagawaji's finger, Muppet little head nodded up and down.
Seeing her like this, Kitagawaji did not stay in the same place, tucked her back into the scarf and walked towards Sucha High School.
