The Advent of the Infinite King

Chapter 35 Festival Venue

"That's right, that's right."

Mao Lilan took the photo and said: "It happened that I met Mr. Shijing when Yizi started to burn."

Police officer Henggou said: "However, the time when the word 一 started to burn was after 10:[-], and the crime time was around [-]:[-]. If you go by car, you can arrive at the festival venue from the hotel in [-] minutes."

"Officer Henggou." Mori Kogoro said suddenly: "The first Tian character started to burn at eight o'clock. How long will it take to burn to the next character?"

"This is..."

Officer Henggou thought for a while and said, "Until around 25:[-]."

"That's right, please look at the photo carefully." Mori Kogoro held up the photo and said, "Did you see that, he was already at the celebration venue of Tianxia First Night Festival before 25:[-] gone."

Police officer Henggou took the photo from him, and it was Sei Shinichi with the background of the word Tian in the photo.

Mori Kogoro continued: "The time of the crime was around eight o'clock. No matter how fast you go, I think if you start from this hotel, you won't be able to reach the venue within [-] minutes."

Shijing Xuanyi who was standing at the door said with some relief: "That's a matter of course."

Xie Chen frowned slightly, wondering about the source of the photo.

Police officer Henggou said at this time: "But don't you think he took this photo on purpose? It may be multiple exposures. If it is a person who is very proficient in cameras, this may be possible."

"Hey, hello." Shinichi Shii said, "Mr. Detective, I just handed over the camera to you to be developed, and it is a camera that is thrown away after use, so it is impossible to do that kind of thing. "

Police officer Henggou turned to a tall police officer and said, "You should be the one who took the camera to be washed."

"Yes." The police officer said, "Whether it is the camera or the film, there is no trace of any processing."

"Look." Sei Xuan raised the corner of his mouth.

Mori Kogoro waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, Police Officer Henggou, I think you are also very aware of the fact that he came to the festival site."

"Yes."

Police officer Henggou nodded and said: "That's what I heard from the counter of this restaurant. Mr. Shijing went out around 07:30, and I confirmed the time with him several times. The counter staff were very impressed. impression."

Sei Nobuichi explained: "That's because I have to catch up with the burning time of the sky character anyway, but I forgot to wear my watch today, so I checked the time several times."

Xie Chen suddenly smiled, and Police Officer Henggou immediately asked: "Everything you do seems to be related, it's almost like deliberately creating an alibi."

"Hey, hello." Shijing Xuanyi hastily argued, "Don't talk nonsense, please."

Afterwards, he approached police officer Henggou and continued: "Please don't waste your time on such meaningless things, please hurry up and find out the real suspect who killed my good friend."

Officer Henggou gritted his teeth, but he didn't say anything after all.

At this time, a man in a gray suit ran in.

"Mr. Imatake! Teacher!" Seeing that the room was full of police officers, he asked, "Where is the teacher?"

Police officer Henggou said: "Mr. Imatake's body has been transferred to the bureau. By the way, who are you?"

The man in the suit was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and said slowly: "I am a reporter from the Monthly Literature and Art Times, and my surname is Yamada. I came here as soon as I was notified by the police. The teacher is really..."

Mori Kogoro said: "If it is the era of literature and art, Mr. Imatake?"

Sei Shinichi said: "Yes, there was a serialization of the legend of sword bravery."

Reporter Yamada suddenly raised his head, looked at Nobuichi Sei and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Teacher Sei."

"That's right." Sei Nobu put one hand on his chin and said, "I once heard Imatake mention that his serial novel is almost due, but he hasn't started writing yet..."

"Yes!"

Reporter Yamada suddenly said loudly: "Ms. Imatake's deadline is tomorrow! Too bad, it's too late to ask other teachers now, and now I can't find works with a writing style comparable to my teacher's. It's really terrible."

As a reporter for a literary weekly, he is more concerned about the serialization of the work than the author's death.

"I can't help it." Sei Shinichi walked to the bed at this moment, rummaged through the suitcase for a while, took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them to reporter Yamada, "Take it."

"What is this?" Reporter Yamada took the manuscript and said.

"This is a work I wrote before. I originally wanted to show it to Imake, so I brought it here today. I don't know if it can be connected with Imake's work."

Reporter Yamada hurriedly said: "Where, you once wrote with Mr. Imake. If it is your work, the colleagues in the editorial department will definitely be convinced."

"Is this okay? That's just the beginning of a novel."

"If possible, can you please write for the literary age?"

Nobuichi Shii thought for a while and said, "It's nerve-wracking, I still have other jobs at hand."

"Anyway, please do me a favor."

"Okay." Sei Nobuichi happily agreed, "Let's write it for the dead Imatake."

"Thank you very much, then I will take my leave." After finishing speaking, he turned and ran out.

After Reporter Yamada left, Nobu Sei glanced at Police Officer Henggou, and said, "Hey, Mr. Police Officer, you've already heard it. If this happens, I seem to have to go home and work."

Police officer Henggou gritted his teeth. Although he had already determined that the other party was the murderer of Imatake, there was no evidence to bring him to justice.

Nobuichi Shii raised the corner of his mouth and continued, "It's all for Imatake, for that Imatake who unfortunately was killed by a thief."

Xie Chen recalled the moment when he met Shi Jingxuan just now, what puzzled him was why the other party was able to take such photos, and the camera was not tampered with, and specifically asked Mao Lilan to help him take those photos .
