Takagi Wataru showed a surprised look and said in an incredible tone.
"You said Miss Miyamizu has hearing impairment? That's impossible. If she really has hearing impairment, it's impossible for people around her, including Miss Mizushima, not to notice this! After all, if you have hearing impairment, daily communication will become a problem.
That’s a problem!”
"What if Ms. Miyamizu could read lips?"
Takato explained, "I can read lips, so face-to-face daily communication is no problem. This can also explain why Ms. Miyamizu sometimes forgets to complete the assigned work, and the work must be handed over to her face to face."
Hearing this, Takagi Sheba was stunned.
"Mr. Akechi, what you are saying is that because of face-to-face communication, Ms. Miyamizu can understand the content through lip reading, but if you just tell her a task at work, she actually doesn't hear it at all, so that's why
Sometimes I forget to complete my work!”
"That's right."
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "This can also explain why Miss Miyamizu never answers the phone, but uses text messages to communicate. Because when she calls, she can't hear anything at all. In the same way, because she can't hear anything, so
There is no need to install a speaker on her computer. If you think about it this way, all the current unreasonable things can be explained."
"but……"
Takagi Wataru still didn't understand, "Even so, what does this have to do with the location where Miss Miyamizu was attacked?"
"Of course."
Gao Yuan said, "In this case, the last question Ms. Miyamizu answered is incorrect."
Reminiscing, Gao Yuan told the details of last night.
"At that time, after I woke up Ms. Miyamizu, she glanced at me, and I asked several questions at that time."
Gao Yuan said, "I first asked her three questions: Who attacked her? Who are her friends and relatives? Where do they live?"
"So what?"
Takagi Sheba still doesn't understand.
"After asking these three questions, Ms. Miyamizu did not answer directly and closed her eyes. Seeing that her condition was not optimistic at that time, I asked the last question: where was she attacked."
Gao Yuan said, "Then she gave an answer."
“Misui Apartment.”
Takagi Wataru answered, and then realized the problem, "Don't tell me!"
"That's right, if Ms. Miyamizu is hearing-impaired, that means she didn't hear the last question I asked. She can only know who I am when she opens her eyes and looks at me and sees the shape of my mouth.
What did you ask?"
Gao Yuan said, "When she looked at me, I only asked the three questions before, and then she closed her eyes. So obviously, her answer could only be to answer the three questions I asked before, combined with the content.
Look, the last question that should be answered is 'Where to live'!"
"In other words, our judgment that the deceased was attacked in Mitsui Apartment based on his last words before death is invalid!"
Gao Mushe finally understood what Gao Yuan meant and said in surprise.
"Yes, so if Miss Miyamizu's medical records are found and it is confirmed that she is indeed hearing impaired, then the case will need to be re-searched for the location where Miss Miyamizu was attacked!"
Gao Yuan said.
"I know, I'll do it right away!"
With that said, Takagi Wataru called the police and asked the police to investigate.
"As long as this is confirmed, our judgment on Miss Miyamizu's attack will completely change."
Takahara said, "At first we thought that Ms. Miyamizu was attacked as soon as she left the apartment, and then ran to the park to escape for her life. But now it seems that it is possible that Ms. Miyamizu had already left the apartment for some distance, and we met
He was attacked, so he ran towards the apartment in order to escape for his life, but he collapsed in the small park before he could reach the apartment."
"But, if that's the case, where was the place where Miss Miyamizu was attacked?"
Takagi Sheba asked.
"I don't know, but judging from the fact that Ms. Miyamizu subconsciously ran to the apartment, it shouldn't be too far from the scene. Since it's hard to judge, let's check all the surveillance cameras on the road!"
Gao Yuan suggested.
"Ah this..."
Takagi Sheba said helplessly, "Is this the only way?"
Gao Yuan shook his head.
"If we can't find any clues, then we can think of other ways, but at least I don't have a better way at the moment."
"All right."
Takagi Wataru said helplessly, "After the police officers who investigated Ms. Miyamizu's medical records confirm the information, we will check the surveillance."
Gao Yuan could not deny it and followed Gao Mushe all the way back to the small park, waiting for the police to reply. The two of them took advantage of this time to explore the locations of several sections of roads with surveillance within one kilometer nearby.
Soon, Takagi Wataru received a message from the police officer - it was confirmed that Remi Miyamizu did have acquired hearing impairment!
Therefore, Takagi Wataru used his police officer ID card and began to check the surveillance contents of the nearby cameras one by one during the time of the crime.
This job is both complicated and simple, because considering that Reimi Miyamizu ran back to the small park in the end, the real attack location should not be far from where Ms. Miyamizu was found, so Gao Yuan limited the range to a radius of one kilometer.
Within.
It was already night at that time, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Through the surveillance at the door of the apartment and the time when Gao Yuan discovered Miss Miyamizu, the time period of the crime could be narrowed down to a small range.
In this way, only the boring and boring work of checking and monitoring is left.
However, the final result was not smooth. Under the constraints of the above conditions, Gao Yuan and Takagi Wataru viewed all the surveillance images, but Reimi Miyamizu was not seen in any of them.
"What should I do? Mr. Mingzhi, it doesn't seem to be going well."
Faced with this situation, Takagi Wataru said.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan said: "Then expand the time period and check!"
"Why!"
Takagi Sheba exclaimed in a panic.
"Since none of these surveillance pictures captured the appearance of Miss Miyamizu, it means that the location where Miss Miyamizu was attacked should be between these surveillance locations and the small park. Then we will look for it. At the time of the incident,
Who are the people who may stay in this area?"
Gao Yuan suggested.
"But! Can we really find the murderer?"
Takagi Sheba asked doubtfully.
"I think why not start with Ms. Miyamizu's interpersonal relationship? After all, the murderer imitated the previous serial murder cases. Generally speaking, the murderer's purpose is to mislead the police in the direction of their investigation. It is very likely that the murderer is the deceased.
The people around me may not be the same, right?"
Of course I know what you said.
Watching Gao Mushe say this, Gao Yuan said silently in his heart, but there are some things that Gao Yuan really cannot say.
Because Gao Yuan had another purpose and simply wanted to see more surveillance content - for example, was the woman named Hirota Masami photographed that night?
The timing of her appearance was too coincidental, and she was not far away from him. Gao Yuan had some doubts that she was actually following him that day!
However, currently, the surveillance footage within the restricted time period did not even capture him and Kyoko together. In other words, the time when Gao Yuan and Kyoko entered the road near the small park was before Ms. Miyamizu left the apartment.
So, at Gao Yuan's insistence, Gao Mushe once again took Gao Yuan to review the surveillance pictures. The difference was that the start time of the surveillance content pictures was moved forward by one hour.
Then, a surprising scene appeared——
In the surveillance footage of the road Gao Yuan and Jin Zi walked together last night, Gao Yuan and Jin Zi did not appear!
