Chapter 137 – Episode 17. Island Village and Murder and the Daughter of the Abyss
〈Caution〉 There is a swimsuit illustration.
“If Mr. Hijitani had been at the entrance from around 8:07, he would have known that I did not go to the people’s dormitory at Kanto University. From the entrance, you can see our side of the passage. “Even if you were looking outside the entrance, you would have heard my footsteps.”
Everything in my explanation! He lets out an exclamation. Saori Hijitani thought for a moment and nodded her head.
“I definitely didn’t see Tyra passing this way.”
“But couldn’t she have gone before 8:07?”
It was Professor Koga Honmura who was tackled for no reason. It’s just a matter of bothering me about the diarrheal professor.
“I was in my room at least 8:02. Do you see the selfie here?”
I showed a selfie I took with the open-air bath in the background. And it showed the time in the photo information. It was recorded exactly as 20:02:36.
“It is possible to commit murder for five minutes, but if I, a stranger and not a close friend, tried to kill Mr. Kimura, there would definitely be a physical fight and a big commotion.”
In fact, if you decided to kill someone like Atsuhiro Kimura, 5 seconds, let alone 5 minutes, would have been enough. But since they didn’t know my skills well, they nodded at what I said. However, Professor Koga Honmura was not the only one to take the lead.
“That’s true too… Still, if you look at the body, she was stabbed in the back. Couldn’t she have been sneak-attacked?”
Ah, this crazy old man… ! I sighed and opened my mouth again.
“Am I some kind of ninja? Would I go in and sneak attack from behind without anyone in the room noticing? And as you can see from the picture, it is 8:02:36. If you calculate the time between leaving and returning to the room, you will see that it is less than 3 minutes. That’s not enough time to commit murder. “Do I need to say more here?”
When I looked at Professor Koga Honmura with a slightly angry expression, the professor frowned and said, “Ah, okay.” He said.
In fact, if you show the KakaoTalk message with Han Yu-kyung, your alibi will be solved, but there was an obscene photo of Han Yu-kyung there. I couldn’t show my female breasts to anyone. There’s even a picture of my cock fully erect. Well, there was nothing wrong with showing a picture of a dick. It would only hurt the self-esteem of the two surviving Kwandong University men.
“It’s strange that there are no signs of a struggle, as Tyra said just now.”
Haruto Wano said. Certainly, Atsuhiro Kimura was the sturdiest of the Kwanto University members, except for a friend named Morisuke who died before that. If there had been a fight, I wouldn’t have just been lying down like I was sleeping without feeling dizzy.
Haruto Wano was lost in thought and everyone was also silent. Professor Koga Honmura immediately spoke, as if he couldn’t bear the silence.
“The person who doesn’t have an alibi that overlaps with the one from before…”
Professor Honmura Koga glanced at me and interrupted her for a moment.
“In the end, there will be three people excluding the victim.”
Professor Koga Honmura is really good. I was so scared that I said, “Oh, I see,” And she ended up including me as a suspect. In the end, the people who did not have an alibi for the two murders presented by Professor Honmura were me, Kanimi Uchidate, and Saori Hijitani.
“If I said I had no alibi because my whereabouts were unclear for 4 minutes and 30 seconds, doesn’t Professor Honmura also have no alibi for this incident? You disappeared for 10 minutes just to go to the bathroom. And you said Professor Honmura and Mr. Wano were together during the first murder, right? However, they both said they went to the bathroom, so they could have committed murder at that time. Why are you excluding it?”
I was annoyed that he was quietly excluding me from the list of suspects, so I fired back. I couldn’t understand why they considered me as a suspect because I couldn’t prove my alibi that lasted less than 5 minutes, but I was taken out as a suspect even though I clearly used the easy excuse of going to the bathroom for both the first and second murders.
“That… During this murder, 10 minutes may have been a long time, but during the first incident, the time I went to the bathroom was less than a minute. You can’t commit murder during that time. “Wano-kun can prove it.”
“If you two are accomplices, then you become perfect alibis for each other.”
“Ah!”
Match!
It was Haruto Wato, who seemed to have realized something from what I said and suddenly clapped his hands together. Perhaps because of Haruto Wano, the atmosphere that had been heated up until now because of Professor Koga Honmura and me had calmed down.
“Something?”
“There’s one thing that comes to mind… “I will let you know when it becomes more concrete.”
What, bland… There was silence for a moment, but as if to sort out the situation, the innkeeper, her grandmother, spoke up.
“Everyone needs to rest, so why not put the bodies in the basement first? “There is another coffin in the warehouse.”
“Yes, but the custom on this island is to prepare only one coffin for yourself. Why do you have so many coffins? “The coffin that Morisuke was put in was quite large compared to her grandmother’s body.”
Haruto Wano asked as if he couldn’t contain his curiosity. In response to Haruto Wano’s question, the innkeeper’s grandmother made a sad expression.
“Those coffins are those of my son and daughter-in-law… “Due to a boat accident, neither of their bodies were found, so the unclaimed coffins remain.”
“Oh, is that so? “You asked something pointless.”
As the atmosphere became strange, Wano Haruto went to get the coffin with an awkward expression. When Haruto Wano came with the coffin, he put Atsuhiro Kimura in the coffin and Haruto Wano carried the coffin underground.
“I’m sorry that our professor was so stubborn. In my opinion, Tyra is the least likely to be the culprit. “From the beginning, he said he didn’t know us and didn’t have an alibi, but the time he was gone was both short, so it’s impossible for him to commit murder.”
On the way to move the coffin underground, Haruto Wano apologized. An apology should be made by the person who made a mistake, not Haruto Wano.
“It’s nothing for you to be sorry about. But did you get a clue?”
“Some pieces of the puzzle are coming together, but I don’t see a single crucial piece yet.”
We talked and went to the security room and placed the coffin containing Atsuhiro Kimura’s body next to Morisuke’s coffin. As I was about to leave the coffin and go up, Haruto Wano opened the coffin and looked at Atsuhiro Kimura.
“Aren’t you going up?”
“We weren’t close, but we knew each other, so I will pray for your peace and go up.”
Then you can’t force it to go up. I said to Haruto Wano, “Okay, I’ll go up first,” And started going up the stairs.
“Is it medicine…?” .”
I heard Haruto Wano talking softly behind me, but I didn’t know what it meant. When I went up to the first floor, everyone had gone back to their rooms. It was a situation where we were scattered around in a complacent manner, with nothing decided on.
In fact, it didn’t matter what happened to the Kwandong University students. Besides, even if the criminal attacked me, I could easily fight back, so I didn’t have to worry.
“Let’s rest.”
After arguing about whether there was a worthless alibi or not, and carrying the body to the basement, it was already ten o’clock. It was my routine to stay up all night having sex every day, but today I have to go to bed early. There is a high chance of meeting the Daughter of the Abyss tomorrow, so you should stock up on stamina in advance.
I entered the room and threw myself under the blanket. Thanks to the cozy blanket, I was able to fall asleep quickly.
###
Knock knock!
“Sir, it’s breakfast.”
“Yes…”
I opened my eyes to the voice of Konoka Hamahata. Time is… It was 7 o’clock in the morning. I slept almost 9 hours. It’s been a long time since I slept this long.
Grumble.
The sliding door opened and I saw Konoka Hamahata, who had brought breakfast. Konoka Hamahata was preparing breakfast on the side table next to her bed. When she smelled it, she thought it was porridge with seafood. Konoka Jihamhata made good on her request to prepare food for three people and brought a small pot with enough food for the three of her.
“If you eat it all, I’ll give you more.”
“Yes, I will eat well.”
I scratched my head and ate the porridge served by Konoka Hamahata. Mmm, it’s delicious. I could feel the rich taste of the sea. It felt like it was absorbed quickly from head to toe.
“It’s delicious.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
“Are the people at the inn going to see the island ancestral rites?”
“Yes, the entire village supports the ancestral rites. Our Chooten Inn is no exception. So you will have to have dinner at the shrine.”
Oh, the inn also attends the ancestral rites, so we have to eat dinner at the shrine. Anyway, I have to do some sort of offering, so I’m planning to stay at the shrine for dinner.
“I have been asked to serve as an offering at the shrine, so I have to be there by 6 o’clock.”
“Really? Wow! I think this is the first time something like this has happened. “I always made human figures out of rice cakes without cows, but I guess the customers were treated specially.”
Konoka Hamahata is very surprised by my words. Of course, this would be the first time. Who in this world would be invited to the Daughter of the Abyss?
I ate two more refills of seafood porridge and took a shower and brushed my teeth in the shower facility provided in one corner of the hot spring. After lunch, I’ll take a bath in the hot springs before heading to the shrine.
The rain continued to fall. Nothing much happened, so I left the room to go for a walk with the umbrella that I hadn’t returned yet, as I was too tired to stay still.
“Oh, come this way.”
As I was about to leave the guest room building, Professor Koga Honmura called me. She called me with a casual expression, as if she didn’t care at all that we had a fight yesterday.
“Are you going to the shrine in the evening too? The inn said that dinner was being served at the shrine today due to a memorial service. “I’m saying this because I can’t leave you alone without an alibi.”
“The shrine asked me to act as an offering, so I’m going to the shrine too.”
What do you mean Professor Koga Honmura? As she said this, her eyes opened wide and she began to ask me various questions with her eyes burning with academic enthusiasm.
“How did the shrine find out about you and give you the job?”
“Is the tribute station transferable? “Can’t I try it myself?”
“I heard there is a ancestral rite event that the general public can’t see. Would you mind letting me see it too?”
“Can’t I go in with a camera and take pictures?”
Wow, it almost felt like madness. Of course, my answer was all to ask the gentleman. It seemed like the shrine would most likely reject the professor’s request, but when I told him I would attend the ancestral rites as an offering, he was excited to become a part of the ancestral rites.
“Maybe Shinkai Hime will change it if she likes it.”
I went out for a walk, leaving only those words.
