Several clues were investigated simultaneously, and finally, the neighbors of the buyer who were close to each other first came out. There were not many residents in this building, and only two households could hear the movements of the buyer's house, and one of them went on a business trip again. Soon, the police invited the only neighbor of the sofa buyer.
This is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He walks slowly and speaks slowly, with a kind of sticky feeling that is half dead.
He followed the policeman to the downstairs and looked around and said, "What's wrong?...Why is there a person upside down here?"
Officer Takagi showed him the seriousness of the matter so that he could cooperate seriously: "There is a fresh body hidden in the sofa purchased by your neighbor - where did you hear some special noise?"
The neighbor stared at the sofa and the dead for a while, and finally digested this amazing fact. He thought for a while: "From 2:00 to 3:00 pm...I usually stay at home at this time because I go to work at night and have to take a break at home during the day."
"Today's..."
He seemed to remember something and said uncertainly: "So, I woke up earlier than usual today. If you think about it carefully, I should have been woken up by the argument next door."
"Arguing?" Officer Takagi's eyes lit up. "What exactly are the quarrels? Are there any characteristics of the voices of the two parties involved in the quarrel?"
The neighbor tried hard to recall and shook his head: "I can only hear that they are two women, but if they are specific, they will not be able to hear them."
Officer Takagi wrote quickly and carefully recorded all kinds of suspicious points.
...
After talking about what he knew, the neighbor slowly returned to the upper floor.
In front of the building, Suzuki Yuanko touched her chin like Jiang Xia, feeling that she had touched the truth: "The sofa buyer clearly said that she was watching a movie at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but in fact she was arguing with other women in the room... The body on the sofa also happened to be an old lady, and she was anxious to buy the sofa - I understand everything, she is the murderer!"
After saying that, she looked at the nominal assistant Jiangxia, Hashimoto Maya, raised her chin slightly, and showed pride.
Hashimoto Maye's eyes twitched: "..." He had the ability to make money and came to me to file a case, the shameless king of scripts...
"How is it, how is it?" Suzuki Yuanko couldn't get the gazes of "envy", "admiration", "willing to give way" from Maya Hashimoto, and scratching her hair card without any slightest, so she turned her head to look at Jiang Xia again.
Jiang Xia scooped a spoonful of ice cream brought by Suzuki Garden, but did not agree or deny it: "Don't worry, there should be new clues on the way, and it's not too late to solve the case after you hear it all."
A few steps away, Hashimoto Maya looked at Suzuki Yuanko's nodding while listening, and his eyes twitched slightly: "..." This cunning woman might have known the murderer from Lord Uzo, but she didn't say it, but used this method to get close to Jiang Xia - Humph, it was simply shameless.
...I will learn it next time.
Just as his heart was quietly rolling, a young policeman rushed over with a man wearing a second-hand furniture city employee uniform.
When the store manager of the furniture city saw the visitor, he immediately recognized him. He introduced to Officers Jiang Xia and Takagi: "This is the clerk who took over this second-hand sofa - just ask where he bought it, the matter will definitely be revealed."
As he said that, he looked at his employees, looking forward to ending the case quickly and going back to work.
However, under his gaze, the clerk's face became paler and his eyes fell down guiltily, looking miserable as if he had done something bad and was caught.
The store manager was stunned and thought to himself: "No, you hid the body?!"
"...Ah? No! How could it be me!" The clerk came to his senses and quickly denied it.
After being suddenly detained for such a big pot, other things were not so difficult to talk about. The clerk no longer hesitated like when he first came. He closed his eyes and said bluntly:
"Actually, this sofa was not purchased from someone else's hands, I picked it up!"
"Pick it up?" the store manager was stunned. "Didn't you say that its original owner planned to move overseas? He thought it was too troublesome to deal with furniture, so he gave it to you for free?"
The clerk shook his head and sighed: "Actually this is the case. This afternoon, I went to the city to purchase a lot of second-hand furniture. On the way back... at about 4 o'clock, I suddenly saw a very clean and beautiful fabric sofa on a garbage recycling site."
"Such a good sofa was thrown away like that. I couldn't stand it, so I parked the car and moved it to the car with my colleagues.
"When I returned to the store to unload the goods, the buyer lady took a fancy to the sofa at first sight. I was very pleased and happy about it all night, but who knew... Oh, no wonder such a new sofa was thrown away. Who was illegitimate to hide the body inside."
After saying that, the clerk looked at his store manager and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I violated the store rules. But such a good sofa, I really can't bear to see it being treated as garbage."
The store manager was a little angry at first, but now he put himself in his shoes and said helplessly: "That's right. I entered this industry because I hated waste - no need to apologize, you did it right!"
"Shop Manager..." The big clerk showed a touching look.
The two of them held their hands tightly and looked at each other like they were looking at their close friends. Jiang Xia watched for a while and interrupted their deep affection for master and servant: "I will talk about the recycling concept later. Where did you pick up this sofa?"
The big clerk thought for a while: "On No. 3 Street, Shuguang Town."
As he was talking, he suddenly realized something and looked at the surrounding environment in the dark night: "Wait, it seems that this is the area!"
“…” Everyone, “?!”
...
After a closer look, there was a garbage station less than 10 meters away from the sofa drop point.
Judging from the location, it is the garbage recycling point for the apartment in front of you.
"That is to say, at 2 pm this afternoon, the old man was killed and put on the sofa by the murderer, and then the sofa was moved to the garbage station.
"And two hours later, at 4 pm, the body set off with the sofa and arrived at the second-hand furniture city.
"Another hour has passed... the body followed the transport truck from the furniture city and returned to its starting point."
"this……"
Officer Takagi looked at the corpse that was traveling back and forth on the ground and was speechless: As a corpse, the amount of exercise is really not small.
However, one thing can be confirmed - this corpse must have nothing to do with this residential area.
Chapter completed!
