Chapter 1040

"Then that's it."

The old police officer stroked his chin and said: "Even if you watched the rebroadcast from 9 to 10 o'clock, which was 2 hours late, as long as you let Chiba watch this recording afterward, you could use the error to catch up with the baseball game starting at 2 o'clock."

"And because you went to take a bath in the middle, the concept of time was even more blurred."

Takagi and Sato looked at the stunned Chiba, their thinking becoming clearer and clearer, and they felt more and more that there was a problem in the middle.

"Wait a minute!" Kato Akira said anxiously, "Chiba went to the bathroom and got drinks from the kitchen. Chiba was worried about being late for work, so he set clocks in these places. If he looked at the time, wouldn't it be exposed?"

"Y-Yes," Chiba said confusedly, "there was nothing strange."

"That's because before waking Officer Chiba up, the hands of the clocks in the living room and kitchen had already been moved forward by two hours, and then he waited for an opportunity to adjust them back to normal when watching the videotape. That's how he stole Officer Chiba's 2 hours."

Akaso Kaze looked at the living room clock: "The evidence is the clocks in Officer Chiba's bedroom and the entrance. The time is 5 minutes fast. Only the clocks in the places you just mentioned are accurate.

I think the reason you didn't touch the clock in the bedroom is because Chiba slept in the living room last night, and even if he had a change of clothes for his bath, he shouldn't have gone into the bedroom."

"What about the entrance?" Sato stared at the living room clock and asked.

"The clock at the entrance couldn't be moved," Akaso Kaze looked at Kato Akira, whose face was becoming increasingly ugly.

"If a courier came to the door or other visitors came and found that the time at the entrance was wrong, they would definitely be suspicious, especially me, who was originally scheduled to come return the videotape today."

"But in that case, if Chiba went to the entrance..."

"That's why he was the one who went to open the door when you guys came over."

"Hey!" Kato Akira's face twisted slightly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Akaso Kaze.

"D-Do you have any evidence that I killed someone? Just because the time on the clocks at home happened to be different..."

"Kato," Chiba's eyes trembled, and his face turned pale, "every clock in this house was set 5 minutes fast, so I wouldn't be late for work."

"What?" Kato Akira's eyes widened.

"If you want evidence, there is more," Akaso Kaze walked to the entrance with his hands in his pockets, "Are you sure you didn't go out this morning?"

"O-Of course not."

"You washed your shoes, right? Although they have all been blown dry with a hair dryer, the shoelaces are still wet."

Akaso Kaze smiled and looked at Kato Akira again: "Are you going to say you just happened to want to wash your shoes?"

"I..."

"It's useless. Since you wouldn't hide the murder weapon here, you must have thrown it away on the way home. Looking at you, you didn't have time to throw it far. The possibility of it being sunk in the Teimuzu River is naturally the greatest, and then there's the car you used to go back and forth. You didn't have time to handle it properly, right?"

Akaso Kaze looked calmly at Kato Akira, who was slumped against the wall.

"Don't underestimate the police. Once there is a direction, we will definitely be able to find it. You 2.8 don't have the ability to be seamless."

Kato Akira's lips were dry: "The car is full of red fingerprints. I originally planned to wipe them off carefully later."

"You really..." Chiba grabbed Kato painfully, "You really used me and tricked me into giving you an alibi?! Kato!"

"Yeah," Kato Akira laughed in a daze.

"I thought that with you, a police officer, helping to testify, the police wouldn't continue to investigate. But I was still a bit panicked, and didn't even notice that every clock here was 5 minutes fast."
