The Advent of the Infinite King

Mori Kogoro smiled awkwardly, "In order to wake up early, I just walked around on Second Street. When I walked to the back door of Mihua Middle School, I ran into Miss Sachiko. At that time, she was about to drive her car."

"When." Meguro police officer asked.

Mori Kogoro replied: "It was exactly eight o'clock at that time, and the two of us went for a drive together."

Mori Kogoro avoided his daughter's gaze, cleared his throat, and continued: "Because she said she knew a good place where you can see the Toto Beach Bridge, and it was already around [-]:[-] when we drove there."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, as if recalling.

"Then we drank the beer and juice she bought from the vending machine. We stayed for about an hour and a half while drinking and talking, and we set off from there at around [-]:[-]."

"We stopped at her company for about five minutes on the way. After that, we went straight back to the apartment at about ten fifty."

"Then we found the body and immediately contacted you, Officer Megure."

In order to prove Sachiko Shimamura's innocence, and to win his daughter's trust, Kogoro Mori unreservedly stated the itinerary for tonight.

Officer Mu Mu said: "So you can..."

"Yes." Mori Kogoro said, "I can prove that she is not there."

Officer Megure nodded, then turned to Sachiko Shimamura and asked, "But why did you meet Brother Mouri behind Mihua Middle School?"

Sachiko Shimamura said softly: "Because I run a small import agency company in Chaoyang Town, I was supposed to work overtime in the company today."

"However, my roommate Kazumi was a little worried because she was sick and caught a cold. I drove home around [-]:[-] to see how she was doing."

Officer Mu Mu said, "Did you meet Miss Kazumi at that time?"

Sachiko Shimamura said: "I can't say we met, because she has been sleeping soundly, so I didn't call her, and went back to the car directly."

Xie Chen came over suddenly and asked, "Why did you park the car behind Mihua Middle School?"

"Ah?" Sachiko Shimamura looked at Xie Chen suspiciously.

Xie Chen continued to ask: "Why didn't you park your car in the parking lot of the apartment?"

Sachiko Shimamura said with a smile: "Because the parking lot is designed with two floors above and below, it is very difficult to get in and out. I originally planned to go back to the company as soon as I came back."

Xie Chen said: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to just park in front of the apartment?"

Sachiko Shimamura said: "But there are buses passing in front of our apartment, and they will block the road."

Xie Chen nodded, but did not continue to ask.

Police officer Mu Mu walked to the table and picked up a courier box placed on the edge of the table.

"Miss Sachiko Shimamura, is this your package?"

"kindness?"

"When did you receive this package?"

"This..." Sachiko Shimamura couldn't remember.

"When you came back to check Miss Kazumi's condition, was it there?"

Sachiko Shimamura said softly, "No, I don't remember."

Officer Meguro said: "Then I understand, please spare some time to come to our bureau tomorrow for some routine interrogation."

After the police dealt with the scene, they left the apartment. Mori Kogoro simply comforted Sachiko Shimoshimamura and left with Mao Lilan and Xie Chen.

The next morning, they got up early and gathered in the dining room for breakfast.

Xie Chen took a mouthful of salmon sushi and suddenly said, "I always feel that something is wrong."

"Ah?" Mori Kogoro said, "Did you get stuck by a fishbone?"

"No." Xie Chen said, "I'm talking about Miss Zuo Zhizi, the reason why she parked her car behind Mihua Middle School."

Before Mori Kogoro could speak, Mao Lilan said, "By the way, Dad, what did the two of you talk about at the Beach Bridge? The conversation lasted for an hour and a half."

Mori Kogoro was taken aback, so he quickly ate to suppress his shock.

Mao Lilan followed closely, "And why did you go for a ride with that woman? Could it be that Dad..."

"What do you want to say." Mori Kogoro quickly explained: "I didn't use any improper brains."

Mao Lilan was full of disbelief, "Then tell me everything you talked about."

Mori Kogoro said: "I don't remember those trivial things at all. Besides, on the way..."

"On the way? How is the way?"

"This one……"

"father!"

Faced with his daughter's doubts, Mori Kogoro had no choice but to sigh, and said dejectedly: "In fact, we only really chatted for the first [-] minutes, and after that I fell asleep unknowingly."

"Asleep?" Xie Chen wondered.

"Yeah." Mori Kogoro said, "When I was drinking beer, I felt drunk again, and it was already past ten o'clock when I was woken up."

Mao Lilan blinked, and suddenly laughed, "It's ridiculous, Dad fell asleep on a date."

"Stop laughing! Really." Mori Kogoro said loudly.
