Vol 20 Chapter 138: Metal beat

"Because I separated from my husband about ten days ago, when I came in, my husband and he happened to be doing Tai Chi on the balcony alone."

"Tai Chi?"

"Yes." Takako Imoto nodded, "In order to keep healthy, my husband will do Tai Chi sooner or later. My husband didn't notice me coming in, and I didn't make a sound. Then I went into the toilet and came out..."

Having said this, she took a deep breath, and then continued: "Looking on the balcony again, my husband is dead."

Officer Megome said, "So, your husband was killed when you entered the toilet."

"Yes."

"Sorry, about how long have you stayed since you entered the toilet."

"I think..." Takako Imoto thought for a while, then said, "It's only about two minutes."

"In that case, your husband was killed at about 5:8. During the time you were in the toilet, did you hear any sound or human voice?"

Takako Imoto shook his head and said, "No."

"Right, auntie." Xie Chen said suddenly: "When you came in, were there shoes on the floor of the hallway?"

"En?" Takako Imoto said, "Only one pair of my husband's shoes."

Officer Megome said, "I see, then Mr. Dobashi, about what time did you arrive in this building."

Tohashi Tetsuo replied, "It should be earlier at five o'clock, because I have made an appointment with Imoto to meet at five o'clock."

The administrator said at this time: "The correct time is 4:58."

Tsutohashi said: "I will be here today, just like my wife said, to ask him again to lend me money for turnover, but..."

He lowered his head and said, "He said he didn't want to help me, and there was no reason to help me. Then I went to the roof alone because I wanted to commit suicide."

"Suicide?" Officer Mumu asked in surprise.

"But, I don't have the courage. I stood on it for a while, and then from the opposite direction on the roof, there was a scream from my wife, so I rushed into the house to take a look..."

Officer Megome said, "Mr. Jingmoto is already dead on the balcony, right?"

"Yes." Tetsuo Dobashi said.

Officer Megome nodded and looked at Norio Terazawa, "Mr. Terazawa, you are next."

Terazawa was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "At the time of the incident, I was not in this building at all. It shouldn't matter."

Officer Megome said, "But for the sake of caution, can you tell me when you leave the building."

Terazawa said, "It should be around five o'clock."

The administrator said: "The correct time is 4:50, and then I didn't come back until 5:12, but..."

"what?"

"I remember Mr. Terazawa said he was going to practice golf, why did he come back so early."

Terazawa said: "I changed my mind on the way, because I had trouble making up my mind before."

Officer Megome turned his head to look at Kogoro Mouri, and asked, "Brother Mouri, what do you think."

Kogoro Mori thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Let’s start with Mr. Terazawa, because he did not stay in this building when Mr. Imoto was killed, so he was not the murderer."

Terazawa was relieved and stepped back in silence.

Kogoro Mouri continued: "The problem lies with your wife and Mr. Tsuchashi, the two of you. First of all, the wife. You said you found your husband's body after you came out of the toilet."

He faced Takako Imoto and said, "Or you didn't actually go to the toilet, you killed your husband, and then deliberately pretended to be the discoverer, screaming, this is also possible."

"What did you say?" Takako Imoto's face suddenly changed.

Kogoro Mouri ignored her and turned to Tetsuo Dobashi, "Next is Mr. Dobashi, although you said that after being rejected by Mr. Imoto, you thought of committing suicide on the roof."

"However, you may actually be in the president's room or on the balcony with Mr. Imoto. This is not impossible. From here, you can only see part of the balcony."

"When your wife comes in, you hide in the president's room or on the balcony, kill the victim while your wife enters the toilet, and then go to the roof. This is also possible."

Tetsuo Tsuchihashi hurriedly shouted, "No, I was already on the roof when my wife entered the house, and the wife said that there was only a pair of Mr. Imoto's shoes in the entrance."

Kogoro Mouri said: "Actually, it might be that your wife remembered it wrong, or you have any evidence to prove that you were on the roof at the time."

Tsutohashi said, "The evidence...no, because there is no other person on the roof."

He said as if suddenly remembering something: "By the way, I heard a voice at the time."

"sound?"

"Yes." Tetsuo Tsuchashi said, "I heard the metal sound of ding, and it came from this balcony."

Officer Megome asked, "Do you hear any other sounds next."

"Yes, I heard a second tink."

"That's right." Xie Chen said suddenly, "Could that sound be the sound of knocking on the railing?"

"Yep?"

Xie Chen pointed to the balcony railing and said, "Look, there are two new traces here."

Officer Megume and Kogoro Mouri walked quickly to the railing, "It looks like they were hit by a hard object from below."

Xie Chen picked up the metal pen on the desk, walked to the balcony, knocked on the railing, and dinged.

"That's it." Tsutohashi said, "That's the voice."

Officer Megome looked at the marks after the beating and said, "Even the marks are very similar."

Mouri Kogoro said, "But the trace over there is left because it was beaten from below."

Officer Megome said, "However, it is certain that the traces left by someone's beating."

He turned to look at the living room, "Madam, do you hear that sound."

Takako Imoto shook his head and said, "No, probably because I was in the toilet, so I didn't hear the sound."..
