Chapter 932 has been protected...

"Officer Yokomizo,"

Immediately, a policeman nearby eagerly asked Yokomizo Shigeo a question.

"What do you mean by those words...?"

"that is..............................."

Yokomizo Shigeo originally intended to explain a bit more.

However, Yamato Kansuke, who was standing nearby, immediately interrupted them.......................

He spoke with a look of urgency, even a hint of anger.

"What else do you want to ask!"

"Now that we've identified a potential victim, shouldn't we go and protect her immediately?"

"Not bad, not bad............................."

"Yes, yes, we should hurry and protect her..."

After Yamato Kansuke's reminder, everyone immediately realized what was happening...

Yokomizo Shigeo waved his hand.

"Don't panic, everyone..."

"I have already dispatched our Kanagawa Prefectural Police to protect Shindo Susumu..."

"Well, to be precise, they're still on their way, they'll be there soon..."

There's no need to rush...

"call--"

The police officers all breathed a sigh of relief.

If another person were to die at this time, they would probably suffer terribly..................................

Now that this potential victim has been protected, then...........................

They could then continue listening to Yokomizo Shigego's report.

Thinking this, the police officers looked at Yokomizo Shigeo again.

At this moment, Yokomizo Shigeo immediately continued speaking.

"According to our investigation, a fire occurred at a hotel in Kyoto three years ago on Tanabata (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month)..."

"This fire caused enormous damage to the hotel, and also............................."

"Another passenger has died................................"

"Her name is Nanako Honjo............................."

As Yokomizo Shigego said this, he gestured to his police officers to turn on the computer and pull up Nanako Honjo's photo and personal information.................................

He then continued,

"Nanako Honjo is staying here with her boyfriend, Kosuke Mizutani, for reasons unknown..."

"They lived together on the top floor of the hotel, and at the time, there were seven other people living on the top floor as well..."

"They are respectively..........................."

"Shindo Kin, and the other six victims in this case................................."

"I see........................."

Yamato Kansuke immediately understood.

He looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga, a hint of admiration on his face.

"So, the crisis that Manager Matsumoto mentioned earlier was actually a fire..."

"But what does the fire have to do with Nanako Honjo?............................"

"Could it be...................................."

Yamato Kansuke stopped there and didn't continue........................

But he didn't say anything; the other police officers had already guessed something—

Could the fire have been caused by seven other people, ultimately leading to the innocent death of Nanako Honjo...?

"It shouldn't be............................"

Yokomizo Shigeo shook his head.

"After we arrived at the hotel and learned about the fire, we immediately asked the hotel owner..."

"It is said that the Kyoto Prefectural Police's investigation indicates that the fire was caused by a short circuit on the second floor, and has nothing to do with the residents on the top floor..."

"Regarding Nanako Honjo's death, we suspect..........................."

"It's possible she didn't have time to get on the elevator..."

"elevator?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Is it safe to use an elevator during a fire?

Aren't you afraid the elevator might short-circuit, trapping you inside and causing you to die?

"Perhaps they didn't have time to think about all that..."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga tapped the table lightly and said calmly,

Not everyone can remain calm during a crisis or accident...................................

"That's right,"

Yokomizo Shigeo nodded.

"We suspect that the other seven victims were in the elevator at the time..."

"Only Nanako Honjo was unable to get on the elevator in time, resulting in her being trapped on the top floor. She then suffocated to death due to inhaling a large amount of smoke..."

"That's not right..."

Yokomizo Shigeo's older brother, Yokomizo Sango, raised another question at this time.

"Does a hotel only have one elevator?"

"Besides, can't we just go down a regular staircase...?"

"I'm sorry, brother,"

Yokomizo Shigego smiled helplessly.

"This hotel really only has one elevator, and..........................."

Even three years later, this hotel still only has one elevator.................................

"..................................."

Everyone fell silent.

They were truly speechless about this hotel...................................

"But..........................."

Ayami Ogino, who was standing next to her, also raised her own question.

"If Nanako Honjo didn't catch the elevator, then it's just her own problem, isn't it?"

Why did the killer also murder all six passengers on the top floor?

"indeed,"

Yokomizo Shigeo nodded.

"This is also something we can't figure out after completing our investigation..."

"Cough cough,"

Yamato Kansuke coughed twice, then looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"If, in fact, Nanako Honjo didn't miss the elevator, but instead............................."

"After she got on the elevator, she was kicked off again..."

"N-Nani?!"

The police officers were all taken aback.

Immediately, they realized what was happening—

It seems that there might actually be such a possibility!

Moreover, this is the most likely outcome.......................................

"I see!"

At that moment, Takagi Wataru suddenly felt that he had figured everything out............................

He disregarded the embarrassment he had caused at yesterday's meeting and immediately stood up to speak.

"I know what the numbers on the mahjong tiles mean!"

"That number represents the number of people in the elevator!"

"There are two types of mahjong tiles: one 'One of Bamboo' tile and five 'Seven of Bamboo' tiles..."

"Could this number represent the number of people in the elevator at that time?!"

"Among them, the 'one of bamboo' represents the person who kicked Nanako Honjo out at the time, while the 'seven of bamboo' represents the others who were standing by and watching in the elevator at the time..."

"I see!"

Yokomizo Sango also looked excited.

"From this perspective, it explains why there were only six people, but even with Shindo Kin, making a total of seven..."

"Only one seven of bamboo is needed to cover everything, yet we still need one one of bamboo..."

"So, the 'one of bamboo' represents the person who drove Nanako Honjo out back then..."

"So, the two dots remaining on the seven of bamboo represent Nanako Honjo who was originally on top, and Shindo Kinu who is still standing..."

"Humph--"

Yokomizo Shigego snorted coldly.

"That Nobuhira is really a scoundrel!"

Clearly, he also agreed with what Takagi Wataru and his brother said.

The police officers nodded in agreement....................................

"wrong.........................."

At this moment, Yamato Kansuke gently shook his head and whispered,

"I feel like something's not quite right..."

"Gentlemen, you've overlooked one point,"

At this moment, Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke up.

Lin Jiayou felt a slight smile to his heart.

Just as Gin predicted, the police officers unconsciously connected the mahjong tiles with the locations of the people in the elevator.................................

It can only be said that everyone was making assumptions...............................

Then Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke, addressing the police officers.

How did the killer know everyone's positions in the elevator...?
