lost to yellow ball

Tokyo Detention Center

"It's here. You only have half an hour. If you need to leave early, you can press the yellow button next to it."

Orihara Lin also smiled and thanked the person who brought him in, and sat on the black chair in front of the transparent glass wall.

Only one glass away from him sat a handcuffed prisoner, who was the target of his trip to the prison—the murderer of the resort serial murders that shocked Tokyo three years ago, Saburo Huanjima.He lowered his head slightly, making it difficult to see the expression on his face, but the exposed skin on his neck and arms were all tattooed with cyan and terrifying patterns.

He also has an ugly scar on his head that stands out.

Orihara Rinya: "Are you wondering who I am?"

He smiled, as if he was not in the largest detention center in Tokyo, but in some elegant coffee shop.

The person on the opposite side didn't speak, and he didn't take it seriously: "Saburo Huandao, only 19 years old, the murderer of the serial murder case. But he was only sentenced to life...you have a good lawyer." Orihara Rinya Covering his mouth, "I'm sorry, I should say...you have a powerful mother."

"Miss Zhongjing Meiya is your defense lawyer and your mother, right?"

The interrogative sentence he used was completely affirmative.

Saburo Huandao slowly raised his head, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of hostility.

"Orihara Rinya, a famous person in Ikebukuro."

"Come to the prison to see what I, a guy who has no hope of getting out of prison, do?"

Orihara Rinya crossed his hands together, resting his chin on it, looked at Saburo Huandao with a smile and said, "Kiri Kushima, this name...you shouldn't forget it, right?" He was satisfied to see that the other party heard this Immediately after the name, he lost control of his emotions, standing up suddenly and hammering at the glass in a reckless move.

Seeing that the other party was immediately suppressed by the prison guards who rushed over, he said hypocritically: "Oh...it's been three years, don't be so excited."

Saburo Huandao stared coldly at Orihara Rinya through the glass, and said word by word, "It's two years, ten months, and fourteen days."

He will never forget this woman's name, ever.

The corner of Orihara Linya's mouth curled up playfully, "How about making a deal, Saburo Huandao."

"I can let you get revenge on Kujima Jiri even if you go to jail."

This is not a tone of discussion or please, but a self-confidence that is inevitable.

Today's weather is just right, Kuri Kushima is sitting on the tram bound for Kanagawa.This weekend, the Tennis Club of Rikai University has a training camp with other schools, so Yukimura is not in Kanagawa.

Recently, a new transfer student was transferred to Conan's class, and for some reason, he lived in Dr. Ali's house.Conan went camping with the kid and a few classmates in the class.

Kili Kushima was a little surprised when he met by chance. He didn't expect Dr. Ali to be alone on New Year's Day, and there are quite a lot of relatives who need help with childcare.

The boyfriend went to the camp, and Conan and his friends in the class were taken by Dr. A Li to play, and Jiri Kushima's time was suddenly free.

After thinking for a while, she decided to go back to Kanagawa's apartment to pack some of her personal belongings.

Although I bought new ones, I can't replace everything with new ones.

Because it was a temporary decision, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Kushima Jili arrived at the apartment. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the front desk and found that no one was guarding it today.Did you leave temporarily?A question like this crossed her mind, but she swiped her card and got on the elevator without thinking too much.

"Mr. Sakai." Just entering the elevator, Ji Li found Mr. Sakai who is the security guard inside. She greeted and said, "Just now I was wondering why you weren't at the front desk. Did you go upstairs to inspect?"

Mr. Sakai looked a little restless, and he looked frightened when he heard Ji Li's words. He calmed down and said, "So it's Miss Ji Li, have you finished your work in Tokyo?"

It should be Yukimura who told him, Kudao Ji responded: "Not yet, I came back today to get some things."

The conversation didn't last too long. The strange thing is that Mr. Sakai didn't leave immediately after getting out of the elevator, but stood at the elevator door and watched Kujima Kuri until the elevator door was completely closed.This made Ji Li feel a little hairy in her heart. She frowned and pressed her own floor—the seventeenth floor.

But not long after the elevator went up, it suddenly stopped moving.

"..." Jili Jiudao felt a little unbelievable in his heart. She also caught up with this kind of thing?

Fortunately, the emergency equipment in the elevator also played its due role, but in less than a minute, Mr. Sakai's voice came from the loudspeaker on the floor button. "Miss Ji Li, the elevator has a little trouble, are you okay now?"

Jiri Jiudao slightly raised his voice: "I'm fine, what's wrong with the elevator?"

"This may require maintenance personnel to come over. It is estimated that it will take about half an hour at the earliest. Can you wait patiently in the elevator first?"

Mr. Sakai's calm and steady voice reassured Ji Li. She glanced at the 0-bar signal on her mobile phone and said helplessly, "Then please ask the maintenance personnel to hurry up."

"Okay, if you have any other questions, just press the red button."

"it is good."

This indiscriminate disaster lasted for more than half an hour before the elevator moved up again and stopped at the 9th floor.

Mr. Sakai was standing outside waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he told her very guiltyly that the elevator was temporarily unusable and that he had to take the stairs to go upstairs.

Kili Kushima glanced at the sign on the ninth floor: "..."

Why on earth is she going out today? ? ?

Even more unfortunately, the lights in the corridors of the entire building were suspended.Fortunately, Mr. Sakai, who is the security guard, accompanied Ji Li upstairs. He walked in the front with a flashlight and chatted with Ji Li along the way.

When he didn't know how many floors he had reached, Mr. Sakai's flashlight suddenly became extremely dim.

The darkness invaded Jiri Kushima's sight all of a sudden, and she was interrupted by Mr. Sakai just as she was about to take out her mobile phone.

"Miss Ji Li, can you help me get something? This flashlight is relatively old and needs to be tightened."

Kujima Jiri stretched out his hand to take what Mr. Sakai handed over, and it felt a little cold to the touch, because the light source of the flashlight was dim and Mr. Sakai pointed it at himself at this time, so Jiri didn't know what it was.

"Okay, thank you Miss Ji Li." Mr. Sakai repaired the flashlight very easily, and he took it back from Ji Li's hand to thank him.

"You're welcome."

The short episode passed quickly, and when the seventeenth floor finally arrived, Kili Kushima heaved a sigh of relief: "It's really hard work for you, Mr. Sakai, for sending me up specially."

Mr. Sakai stood at the entrance of the corridor and shook his head at Ji Li, expressing that he was fine.

"Then I'll go down first, Miss Ji Li."

"Well, bye."

Kili Kushima turned around and walked towards No. 1705. She just wanted to go home and take a shower, and she had no idea about packing things.

— the door is open.

Is Jingshi at home?Didn't he say that there is a room in the tennis club today?

Kushima Jiri hesitated and slowly opened the door and walked in. Instead of familiar decorations, what greeted his eyes were a few strangers.Doesn't it seem like this is her home?

Realizing that something was wrong, Jili Jiudao was about to exit when she found someone on the sofa leaning there with her head tilted. She immediately apologized and said, "Sorry, I seem to have walked to the wrong floor. "

"Sister Meihui, why don't you close the door."

Another voice came from outside the door, and a girl in school uniform opened the door and walked in carelessly. She was taken aback when she saw Jiri Kudao standing in the entrance: "San Kudao?"

"Sakai-san."

The person who came was Sakai Masako, the daughter of Mr. Sakai. Kuri Kushima had seen her twice before, so he recognized her: "I went to the wrong door..."

Masako Sakai glanced at Kili Kushima, and walked over to the sofa: "Sister Meihui, why don't you--" The voice stopped abruptly as she walked to the sofa, but replaced by It was a high-pitched scream.

"what happened?"

Jiri Kushima's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately walked in, her pupils shrank suddenly when she moved to the scene on the sofa.

Sakai Masako's voice trembled, and she looked at Jiri Kushima next to her with fear: "Sister Meihui... is dead..."

……

…………

The speed of the Kanagawa police dispatch was good, the police car arrived soon, and the people from the Kanagawa Metropolitan Police Department's first search section surrounded the scene.

As the key suspect, Jiu Dao was repeatedly questioned by the police officers.

She was able to explain normally at first, but as the police collected information, the situation became more and more unfavorable to her.

The monitoring of the entire building was artificially deleted, and she once followed Mr. Sakai to the monitoring room because of missing items, and watched him operate the computer.Jiri Kushima didn't even know what expression he had on his face when he heard Mr. Sakai say these words.

The laboratory issued her fingerprints on the murder weapon——

Jiri Jiudao was completely astonished: "This is impossible, I didn't—"

Masako Sakai, who was standing silently by the side, suddenly looked at Kili Kushima, and said word by word, "You killed Sister Meihui."

Kili Kushima thought this was ridiculous, but was speechless for a while, Sakai Masako's face overlapped with other people's.

Someone had spoken to her like this before.

"You murderer!"

But she didn't do anything.

She was just passing by by chance.

"Mr. Police Officer, can you listen to me?" Kili Kushima pulled her thoughts back and forced herself to calm down. She defended herself: "I set off from Mihuacho Station in Tokyo at one o'clock. There is also the ticket at that time, the time on it can testify for me.”

"I wasn't in Kanagawa all day yesterday, but stayed at home in Tokyo. Since I'm not in Kanagawa, how can I kill people? And I don't have any conflicts with Ms. Oda, and I don't even have a motive."

Sakai Masako said emotionally: "...Although sister Meihui likes your boyfriend, you won't kill someone, right?!"

Jiri Kushima: ...

She even suspected that Masako Sakai was the murderer, otherwise why would she bite her like this?

"There are too many people who like my boyfriend, do I want to kill them one by one?" She snapped back unceremoniously.

"Because my sister often talks to your boyfriend, you must be..."

Masako Sakai was temporarily interrupted by the police officer: "Miss Sakai, we have recorded all the information you provided, and now I am asking Miss Kushima." He looked at Jiri Kushima and said, "Where is the ticket?"

Jiri Jiudao took out two tickets from his bag and handed them to the police officer: "Take a step back, even if these two tickets are fake, it can't be fake when I show up at Mihuacho Station at one o'clock, right? The ticketing point is monitored, and you can always see me when you call it.” The only thing she couldn’t figure out was why it changed to 1705 when it was clearly number 1805.

It can't be said to be the only one. She couldn't figure out why there were her fingerprints on the murder weapon.

The police officer glanced at the time on the ticket, looked at Kili Kushima and said, "Unfortunately, the body is completely ossified. The deceased has been dead for at least twelve hours."

"Can you prove that you were in Tokyo all day yesterday?"

Of course she can't.

Conan went camping and she was alone at home.

Seeing that she was speechless, the police officer put away the ticket and said, "Please come with us, Miss Sakai too."

The feeling of being taken away by the police car was not good. Kushima Jiri took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Yukimura Seiichi, but no one answered the two consecutive calls.

This made her heart drop to the bottom.
