Chapter 1066

Akaso Kaze had specifically observed the river embankment opposite the balcony; under normal circumstances, a person with limited mobility in a wheelchair really couldn't throw very far, but it wasn't entirely impossible.

"In that case," Megure said with importance, "we will look for it in the river again. If we really find something, it means this is not a simple robbery-murder case."

Akaso Kaze nodded.

How could the crime scene look like a robbery-murder to silence a witness?

But then again, there might be a better way to handle the necklace and bracelet.

Akaso Kaze continued to ask Megure: "Have all the trash really been checked?"

"O, of course." Megure was stunned, "We checked the trash in the trash cans before they were taken out for recycling."

Uncle Mouri asked: "Could this case be related to that strange high-paying part-time job?"

"High-paying part-time job?"

"It is said that someone found a part-time job opportunity, accepting a commission from a group researching harmless trash disposal to collect combustible trash nearby, and the pay is quite high."

Uncle Mouri began to tell the origin of the story without much care.

"Every Thursday and Monday, which are combustible trash collection days, they collect the trash into a designated truck early in the morning, and then drive back to the parking lot; this way, you can get 50,000 yen at a time, and 450,000 yen a month."

"This started two weeks ago, and the only problem is that the part-time workers found that the group didn't seem to have moved that trash. So we suspect that the person who commissioned the part-time job might have some ulterior motives, so we came to take a look."

"Oh?" Megure was surprised, "Is the trash collection point right here?"

"It is right here, but isn't the trash at the Funamoto house fine? I think it should just be a coincidence."

On the first floor of the Funamoto house, Funamoto Tatsuhito was still sitting in his wheelchair talking to his son.

Akaso Kaze stood at the top of the second-floor stairs and looked at the father and son who had a deep bond below, his gaze landing on the dark long-haired carpet laid directly below the hallway railing.

If Mr. Funamoto really is the killer, it would be truly too cruel for the child who knows nothing.

But judging from the situation at the scene, Mr. Funamoto is indeed the person with the most suspicion.

Akaso Kaze crossed his arms and walked down the stairs with Ai, just as Funamoto Tatsuhito also looked up.
