The Advent of the Infinite King

"Miss Taeko?"

After Mao Lilan yelled several times, Matsuyama Taeko came to her senses, turned her head reflexively and said, "Miss Xiaolan."

Mao Lilan asked, "Did something happen, Miss Taeko?"

Taeko Matsuyama lowered her head and said, "No, it's nothing, I'll go back first."

After dropping these words, he hurried to the hotel.

Looking at Matsuyama Taeko's back, Mao Lilan said softly: "Did something happen? Her expression seems to be seeing a ghost."

It was already late at night when they came out of the convenience store after shopping.

"Look, I said there is no problem." On the way back, Okino Yoko said with a smile.

Mao Lilan said: "Really, I didn't expect to be recognized by anyone."

Just as they reached the steps of the shrine, a black figure hurriedly ran over it.

"Who is that person?"

"Is it a thief who stole sesame oil money?"

Xie Chen didn't answer, he dropped the popsicle and ran up the steps, Mao Lilan and Yoko Okino also hurriedly followed.

After running up the steps, Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko were stunned for a moment, and Anzai Morio, who was covered in blood and fell down under the shrine, came into view.

"It's Mr. Anxi." Xie Chen walked over to sniff Anxi Shounan, then shook his head and said, "He's dead, hurry up and notify the police."

Before Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko recovered from the shock, Xie Chen had no choice but to shout, "Quick! Move fast!"

"Yes..." The two hurried to the nearby telephone booth.

Xie Chen sighed, and suddenly found the words written in blood beside the corpse.

"stone lion……"

Chapter 58 Becoming a Habit

Ten minutes later, police officer Mu Mu led people to the scene.

"Before the body was discovered, did the two of you see any suspicious characters?" Police Officer Mu Mu asked.

"I saw it." Mao Lilan nodded and said, "But it's very dark here, so I can't even tell if it's a man or a woman."

Officer Mu Mu said: "It was around ten thirty, that is to say, the time of committing the crime was around ten to ten thirty when the victim left the hotel."

At this moment, Mori Kogoro suddenly heard a deliberate laugh from the side, "Officer, this incident is unexpectedly simple."

"What did you say?"

Mori Kogoro folded his hands on his chest and said: "First of all, the knife used as the murder weapon is a prop used in filming, and the second point is that the stone lion refers to the shrine. From these two points, the prisoner is... ..."

In vain, he pointed at Matsuyama Taeko who was standing aside, and said loudly, "Miss Matsuyama Taeko, it's you!"

Matsuyama Taeko's grandfather, Matsuyama Jiuzuo, was immediately dissatisfied and said, "How is it possible, how could Taeko kill someone."

Mori Kogoro ignored him, but asked Matsuyama Taeko: "I said Miss Taeko, you went out for nearly an hour during the banquet, right?"

Matsuyama Taeko lowered her head and said, "That's because I have to go home to get things, and my home is inside the shrine."

Officer Meguro asked, "Can someone testify for you?"

"No." Taeko Matsuyama said, "My grandfather has gone outside, so I am alone."

"But, Dad."

Mao Lilan came over suddenly and said: "Ms. Taeko came back just as Mr. Anxi was about to leave the hotel, and the two of them passed by." Miss has been staying in the living room since she came back..."

Police officer Mu Mu said helplessly: "Isn't it completely impossible to commit a crime?"

Xie Chen trembled at the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "Cheer yourself up..."

"Hey!"

Police officer Mu Mu shouted to the forensic personnel on the side: "Have any fingerprints been collected on the murder weapon?"

The staff member raised his head and said, "No, but there are traces of being wiped."

Xie Chen frowned slightly, if there was still time to wipe off the fingerprints, why didn't the murderer take away the murder weapon and throw it away.

Officer Megure nodded, and asked the crew on the side, "Did any of you leave this hotel between ten and half past ten?"

Yuji Shimazaki came over and said, "I went out to buy cigarettes at that time."

Officer Mu Mu asked, "About what time is it?"

"Well..." Shimazaki Yuji raised his head and thought for a while, and finally said, "I don't really remember..."

Xie Chen suddenly said, "It was nine forty-five, and I just checked my watch at that time."

Officer Meguro nodded and said, "So, when did you come back?"

Yuji Shimazaki said, "About thirty minutes later."

"So it's ten-fifteen."

"Yes."
