Lost and Spy

This murder case was perfectly designed.

Typical locked room murder.

How did the murderer do it?
In particular, why kill a Japanese spy chief?
Was it done by the Resistance?
If yes, kill it, why make it so complicated?
What is their purpose?
"During the process of breaking down the door, did no guests come out?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

The manager of the hotel hurriedly said: "Because of the enemy's bombing, there were very few guests in the hotel. When Your Excellency Jiangcheng broke down the door, it was time for meals. The guests were all dining on the first floor, so there was no one on this floor."

"Give me the guest list."

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan ordered, the manager immediately brought the list.

317 next door and 316 opposite have customers.

317 lived in a couple, Fusaka Temple and Fusaka Sachiko.

316 lived in a couple of young people, Matsuki Dongyan and Yamagishi Goro.

"What about them?"

"The Fusaka couple have been temporarily controlled, and Matsuki and Yamagishi don't seem to be in the hotel."

"Find them." Meng Shaoyuan looked around the hotel: "Make room on the first floor."

It's really fun.

Meng Shaoyuan never thought that in Manila, he would encounter such an interesting case.

……

Takamura Kenji still has a strong ability to handle affairs, and he quickly got the information of the deceased Hase Yosuke.

Hase Yosuke, 40 years old, head of the Naga Secret Service.

Before that, he served in the army and had a nickname:

30 people beheaded.

It is said that when he captured Singapore, he beheaded thirty people in one go.

After the second time, because of his injury, he was assigned as the head of the Naga Secret Service, and has been doing so until now.

The friend he was going to meet in Manila was Yoshii Fujisawa of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"I have sent someone to invite Fujisawa, I believe he will arrive soon." Takamura Kenji said in a low voice.

Before Meng Shaoyuan could answer, news came that Songmu Dongyan and Shan'an Goro had found them.

"Your Excellency, Director, they are just going back to the hotel."

"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "Invite them all in."

……

The Tomisaka couple, Matsuki Toiwa and Yamagishi Goro were a little restless.

It's terrible that a murder happened here.

The Tomisakas are around 50 years old, while Matsuki Toiwa and Yamagishi Goro are still young.

"A guest died, and he was a very prestigious guest." Meng Shaoyuan said: "I don't suspect that you have something to do with this murder case, it's just because you all live on the third floor and are neighbors of the deceased, so I must Check with you guys."

Fusaka Temple said nervously: "Your Excellency, what do you want to check with us?"

"Don't be nervous, just ask a simple question." Meng Shaoyuan said relaxedly: "Now, the situation is very tense. You see, there are almost no guests in the hotel, but you are still staying here. You can tell me the purpose of your coming to Manila. ?"

"We are here to find a way to get a boarding permit." Fusaka Temple said bitterly: "As you said, the situation is tense now, and the only way to get out of here is the 'Awa Maru'. We are from Naga Come, we sold everything in Naga, just want to go back to Japan."

Also from Naga?
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on Songmu Dongyan and Shan'an Goro: "What about you?"

"Same." Song Mu Dongyan said in a frustrated tone: "We also want to go back to China, but we found that it is too difficult to obtain a boarding permit."

Goro Yamagishi added: "We were transferred from Taiwan to the Philippines last year to work for the bank. We had been working in Cebu before. Later, the bank was blown up by an American plane, and the president and many colleagues died. We It's really scary, we just want to go back to Japan."

The purpose of coming to Manila is the same.

This is not surprising, many Japanese bridge decks from other places in Manila came for the boarding permit.

"Eight hours, no, nine hours ago, where were you all and what were you doing?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time.

"It was around nine o'clock in the morning?" Fusaka Temple took the lead. "My wife and I are at the Manila Office of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"We went to the Manila branch of Zhengjin Bank."

Matsuki Dongyan also said: "There are friends who came with us from Taiwan. We tried to get a boarding permit, but the result disappointed us. Even they themselves couldn't get the certificate."

There should be alibi.

Meng Shaoyuan continued to ask: "Do you know the guests from 315?"

"I don't know." Fusaka Temple said, "I haven't even met that gentleman."

"I saw it once, ah, he happened to see it when he went out with this gentleman the other day." Yamagishi Goro looked at Jiangshi Taisho.

Jiang Cheng Dazheng nodded to Meng Shaoyuan.

"Where were you all after the murder was discovered?"

"Me and my wife are dining in the restaurant."

"We left the hotel very early." Song Mu Dongyan sighed: "We still don't give up, and hope to find a way to get a boarding permit."

"Well, I believe what you said." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "I will send someone to your room to check, is that okay?"

"of course can."

"Also, there was a murder case after all." Meng Shaoyuan tried his best to keep his tone calm: "And the person who died was an important person, so I hope you don't leave the hotel until the case is solved."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Yamagishi Goro said cautiously: "We also hope to solve the case as soon as possible, and I also want to leave here soon, Your Excellency."

……

"Nothing was found in their room."

Kenji Takamura, who checked the room for the two of them, came back and said.

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "What do you think?"

"They don't look like murderers." Kenji Takamura expressed his opinion: "If there must be a suspect, it's probably the Tomisaka couple. They live next to Yosuke Hase, and they all came from Naga .”

Speaking of this, Takamura Kenji shook his head immediately: "Impossible. I see their appearance and body. Even if the Tomisaka couple work together, I'm afraid they can't kill Yosuke Hase."

"Yes, I think so too." Jiangcheng Dazheng confirmed the other party's thoughts: "Your Excellency Hase is very strong, and the Fusaka couple cannot be their opponents. Moreover, although they are also from Cala, I have never seen them."

"Songmu Dongyan and Yamagishi Goro are not suspected." Meng Shaoyuan said to himself: "They are from Cebu, and they have no intersection with Hase Yosuke, and they have no motive to kill Hase Yosuke."

It can only be explained that the murderer is not them.

"There is also a possibility that the murderer might not be in this hotel at all, but sneaked in from outside to kill!"
