"That's right."
The old police officer stroked his chin and said, "Even if you watch the 9 to 10 o'clock replay, which is 2 hours late, as long as Chiba watches the video again later, he can take advantage of the error to catch the baseball game that starts at 2 o'clock."
"And because I took a shower in between, my sense of time became even more blurred."
As Takagi and Sato watched Chiba's stunned expression, their thoughts became clearer, and they increasingly felt that there was a problem in the middle.
"Wait a minute!" Kato Akira said anxiously. "Chiba went to the restroom and took a drink from the kitchen. Chiba installed clocks in these places to avoid being late for work. If he checks the time, won't he be exposed?"
"Yes, yes," Chiba said, confused. "There's nothing strange about it."
"That's because before waking Officer Chiba, the clocks in the living room and kitchen had been moved forward two hours. When they were watching the videotape, they took the opportunity to turn them back to normal, thus stealing two hours from Officer Chiba."
Chi Chufeng looked at the clock in the living room: "The evidence is that the clocks in Officer Chiba's bedroom and the entryway are 5 minutes fast. Only the clocks in the places you just mentioned are accurate."
I think the reason you didn't change the bedroom clock is because Chiba slept in the living room last night. Even if she took a shower, there are clean clothes here, so she probably wouldn't have gone into the bedroom.
"What about the entryway?" Sato asked, staring at the clock in the living room.
“The clock in the entryway is because it can’t be moved,” Akatsuka said, looking at Kato Akira, whose face was growing increasingly grim.
“If a courier or other visitor comes to the door and finds that the time at the entrance is not right, they will definitely be suspicious, especially since I was originally scheduled to return the videotape today.”
"But if that's the case, what if Chiba goes to the entrance?"
"So he's the one who opens the door when you come over."
"Hey!" Kato Akira's face twisted slightly, and a hint of fear flickered in his eyes as he looked at Akatsuki Fuuji.
"What evidence do you have that I killed someone? Just because the clocks in our house are at different times..."
“Kato,” Chiba’s eyes trembled, and his face paled slightly, “every clock in this house is set five minutes fast, so I won’t be late for work.”
"What?" Akira Kato's eyes widened.
"If you want more evidence," Chi Chufeng said, walking to the entrance with his hands in his pockets, "Are you sure you didn't leave the house this morning?"
"Of course not."
"You washed the shoes, right? Even though you dried them with a hairdryer, the shoelaces are still wet."
Chi Chufeng smiled and looked at Kato Akira again: "Are you going to say that you just happened to want to wash your shoes?"
"I."
"It's useless. Since you wouldn't hide the tools of the crime here, you must have left them on your way home. Judging from your appearance, you didn't have time to throw them far away. The most likely possibility is that they sank in the Diwujin River. Then there's the car you use to travel back and forth. You simply didn't have time to deal with it properly, right?"
Akatsuki calmly looked at Kato Akira, who had collapsed against the wall.
"Don't underestimate the police. Once they have a direction, they will definitely be able to find out. You are not yet capable of being completely transparent."
Akira Kato's lips were dry: "There are red fingerprints all over the car. I was planning to wipe the floor clean later."
"You really did it!" Chiba grabbed Kato tightly, her voice filled with anguish. "You really did use me, tricked me into giving you an alibi?! Kato!"
“Yes,” Kato Akira said with a dejected smile.
"I was hoping that with you, a police officer, as my witness, the police wouldn't continue the investigation. But I'm still a little panicked; I didn't even notice that every clock here is five minutes fast."
Chapter 601 Toyama Kazuha Wants to See a Magic Show
"Kato, you bastard! You..."
"I'm sorry, Chiba."
Kato Akira let Chiba grab his collar, choking back tears as tears streamed down his face.
"I can't think of any other way, so I'm going to get revenge on him for taking my woman away. I already knew that the woman was gradually becoming distant from me when I was on a business trip abroad."
"So when she said she wanted to marry Zhongben, I wasn't too shocked. But when I found out that it was that guy who was behind it. I hadn't planned to do anything about it."
Chi Chufeng's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't say anything more. He walked over to Ayumi and the others and started watching Kamen Rider together.
The adult world is ultimately not as simple as the child's.
At the Metropolitan Police Department, after giving his statement, Akasa Kaze became acquainted with the veteran police officer who had led the team.
The veteran police officer, 29-year-old Takagi Chosuke, was two years senior to Nagame Megure. He was highly experienced and a seasoned veteran in handling cases.
This was the first time the veteran police officer had worked with Chi Chufeng, and he had a deep understanding of Chi Chufeng, who had a great reputation in the department.
"Really? Officer Chosuke is being dispatched to Tottori Prefecture?"
When they left, Takagi Chosuke and Akaso Kaze chatted at the entrance of the parking lot.
"Yes, I heard it's because of a group of thieves who committed crimes and even attempted murder. My hometown happens to be nearby."
Akatsuka suddenly remembered Takagi's earlier worry and couldn't help but laugh.
That guy doesn't even know who was transferred, yet he's worrying unnecessarily.
"However, it's truly remarkable that Lord Chichu has found so many detailed issues in such a short time since he entered the room."
The old police officer squinted and said with great emotion, "Not only the clock, but even the shoelaces are noticed. Lord Chichu is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Chi Chufeng laughed and said, "Actually, I used divination magic, so..."
"However, one thing is certain: although the backpack was indeed found in the Tsutsumi River and the car was indeed parked in a nearby parking lot, this was all on the premise that Chiba did not lie to protect his friend."
The veteran police officer kindly reminded him, "If Chiba and that man were in cahoots, the evidence would have been handled much better. Lord Akatsuki, you trust Chiba too much."
"Did the officer suspect Officer Chiba?" Akatsuka Kaze smiled.
He couldn't very well say that he was already familiar with the people in the Metropolitan Police Department, could he? Trusting Chiba was the premise.
“The police profession,” the old officer said with a touch of melancholy, “is a profession that you hate because you have to start by suspecting no matter how good the person is, no matter how good the relationship or how much you trust them. Chiba, who is interrogating that man, must feel this very well.”
Chi Chufeng silently watched as the old police officer waved goodbye and left.
It would be too tragic if there were no people he could completely trust. He was willing to trust the people around him, even if things turned out like Chiba's later, and it would take much longer to find out the truth.
However, even someone like Akira Kato can't be fooled, because there's a spirit sitting on top of his head.
"What? You guys are coming to Tokyo to see a magic show?"
Summer vacation had only been going on for a few days when Akatsuka suddenly received a phone call from Toyama Kazuha.
"Star River Child Wu's Fantasy Magic Show?"
"Yeah, I want to experience the incredible atmosphere and also meet Akatsuki-san."
The girl's voice stirred up Chi Chufeng's longing, so he readily agreed.
Kazuha wanted to see the magic show "Hoshigawa Dogo's Fantastic Magic Show" during the first week of summer vacation, so she rushed to Tokyo from Osaka early that morning.
Chi Chufeng went to pick her up personally.
Aka Chufeng had been following the magic circle, but he wasn't very familiar with Hoshikawa Dogo, only knowing that he was on par with another recently popular magician, Sanada Ichizo.
The theater was unexpectedly lively, and the cheers from the audience showed Xinghe Tongwu's popularity. The performance was, of course, also very exciting.
However, Chi Chufeng lost interest after watching for only a short while.
Then he hugged Toyama Kazuha and started to bully her.
Yuanshan and Ye reluctantly agreed.
She traveled all the way from Osaka to Tokyo, mainly for Akaso Kaze.
After watching the performance, Akatsuka and Toyama had just reached the door when they ran into the Mori family.
910 Hoshikawa Dogo warmly invited Akatsuki Kaze to visit the Masakage family together.
Seeing Ye's expectant gaze, Chu Feng agreed.
Zheng Yingjia.
Master Zhengying's three disciples visited his home at the same time.
Besides the young and handsome Hoshikawa Dogo, there is also a middle-aged man with a high hairline and a beard wearing sunglasses, and a fashionable woman with thick lips and bangs who looks like a witch. She is said to be a magician named Himegami Nobuko who is very famous overseas.
"Welcome, welcome," Madam Zheng Ying said warmly. "It's been 10 years since I've seen Xinghe and Zhanzi. And who are these people behind them?"
Upon seeing Xiao Lan and the others, Zheng Ying was momentarily stunned.
“Oh,” Fan Tianli said with a smile, “they are our special guests for tonight.”
"Excuse me, Auntie," Xiaolan said sweetly.
"Welcome, I'll go buy more ingredients for dinner."
"No need, we're all ready."
A group of people carrying ingredients walked into the entryway.
Chapter 602 The Grand Finale: The Witch's Resurrection
"Really?" Kazuha looked at Hanta Riki in surprise. "Mr. Hanta comes every year on this day?"
Fan Tianli sighed, "Because my teacher disappeared on this day ten years ago, I really hoped that he could come back. I didn't expect that ten years have passed and there is still no news of him."
Hoshikawa Tongwu looked around at the furnishings with nostalgia: "It really has been a long time. The three of us used to live here and receive special training from our teacher."
Xinghe Tongwu invited Chi Chufeng, originally intending to ask him to find his master's place, but Chi Chufeng didn't seem very willing to accept the request.
