"Are you telling the truth?" Gregory sat in an armchair with a watch in his hand and said to Chiba. "I feel like I'm blind when you say this."

"If I can get the bottom plate, I'll be more sure," Chiba replied. "At least the images uploaded by the computer indicate that this photo is likely to be boring."

"I'll take a look." Gregory stood up and walked with Chiba to the computer, which was still where Chiba had been watching.

"Hmm......" Grigory narrowed his eyes. What you say seems to be right, and I think so. However, it takes too much time to go to the Metropolitan Police Department, and it should be fine for us to let them take a clearer photo. ”

…… An hour later, the Takaenji Temple.

Officer Twilight, Shiratori Renzaburo, Chiba, Gregory, Mr. Koenji, Mrs. Koenji, Spanish teacher Mauricio, and Dog Walker Harano all sat in the living room, and the atmosphere was delicate.

"What are you here for?" Mr. Koenji asked. "You took my wife away before, and now you sent it back in a disgraceful manner, do you still want to invite me to sit in the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Oh no, we're sorry for what happened—" Officer Twilight laughed before Grigory interrupted him.

"We came this time because we found the murderer and the evidence that he was the murderer." Gregory said lightly. "The reason why I invite you all to gather here is also to bring this matter to a happy conclusion."

"Then why is this kid here?" Mrs. Koenji asked at the field. "I can understand Mauricio coming, but this person shouldn't have the right to know the privacy of our family, right?"

"He's too important," Grigory snorted. "Because he's the key to everything."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Koenji's face was immediately covered with a haze, and he stared at the field.

"Don't slander me!" The field was taken aback. "I'm just a dog walker......"

"She had tetanus, so you gave her medicine, right? Quality antibiotics from a veterinary clinic? Grigory asked suddenly. If you're not going to admit it, I'd like to see how you can explain that we found a rust scissor in the veterinary clinic where you work with the exact same proportion of rust on Miss Keiko's severed toe - maybe you used this scissor to cut off Miss Keiko's toe? ”

"......" The field was obviously confused by Gregory's words, and after a pause, he slowly spoke a sentence.

"That's what she asked to cut......"

"What crazy are you talking about!" Without warning, Mr. Takaenji suddenly burst out, and his old body moved as if all his energy had been exhausted, and he rushed towards Mr. Harano.

"Please calm down!" Officer Twilight had apparently been prepared for this for a long time, and reacted immediately, hugging Mr. Takaenji with Officer Shiratori, who had also reacted.

"What the hell is going on?" Mauricio asked. "Can you explain, gentleman?"

"I'm just an forensic person, and I can't predict things that don't have evidence," Grigory said. "The main lord is here, just let Mr. Harano himself say no? I'll add a few at the end at the most—because I can see that Mr. Harano sometimes doesn't know the causal relationship between certain things. ”

"I see......" Wilderness sighed.

———————— time goes back to a week ago.

Harano sits with Keiko Koenji on the balcony outside Keiko's room, while Keiko's puppy lies lazily in Harano's arms.

"I'll leave these things to you," Keiko handed a pile of letters to Harano. "I've told you the order of the letters, and it's enough to send these sealed letters to my house in that order - don't open them, or they'll find out they're wrong."

"Actually, you don't have to," Harano sighed and took the letter. "My job pays well, and even though you don't have a job, you should be able to ......"

"That's not much to my parents!" Keiko didn't care about the road. "And with this money, we don't have to work for the rest of our lives."

———— briefly returned to reality.

"Wait a minute," Mauricio asked. "What's the relationship between the two of you?"

"You two ......," Mr. Koenji took a few big breaths before suppressing his anger. What is the relationship between you and my daughter? ”

"The reason why we planned this kidnapping case was originally to provide sufficient funds for our subsequent elopement."

"It can't ......," Mauricio muttered. Wait a minute...... Keiko and I have been dating for a long time! ”

"What!?" Mr. Takaenji looked at Mauricio with an incredulous expression. "How can you do this!? I invited you to be a teacher for Keiko, not a husband! ”

Keiko and ...... You? "The wilderness is stupid too." What the hell is going on? ”

"You've been tricked, Mr. Dog Walker," said Gregory. "Based on our investigation, we confirmed that Ms. Keiko had obtained the APOSTILLE certification (used to certify the authenticity of the application materials) from the Hague Office in our country a week ago. So we think that Miss Keiko is ready for Mr. Mauricio to elope to Chile next Monday. ”

"What?" The field was stunned.

"But," Officer Twilight suddenly thought of something. "Mr. Harano, you just said... Did Miss Keiko and you plan to kidnap Miss Keiko herself? ”

"That's right, Miss Keiko directed and acted in this kidnapping case," Grigory nodded. "And I have proof."

"What evidence?" Mr. Koenji asked. "I need proof."

"Yes," Grigory nodded. "Do you remember the photo of Miss Keiko being kidnapped attached to that letter? I asked Officer Twilight to develop an enlarged version of the photo and bring it with me, now please follow me. ”

So saying, Grigory stood up and motioned for the people to follow him.

… Takaenji House, Miss Keiko's room.

"You check the location." Gregory stood in the room, handed the photo he had gotten from Officer Twilight to Chiha, and commanded.

"Okay," Chiba nodded, then looked at the picture while looking at the set in Keiko's room. "Hmm-"

After a few seconds, Chiba walked up to Keiko-sama's bed, then climbed up, eventually kneeling somewhere on the bed. "This should be the place."

"Officer," Grigory gestured to Officer Twilight. "I want a Polaroid, for that kid."

Chiba took the camera from Officer Twilight, took it, took a selfie of herself kneeling on the bed, and handed it to Gregory along with the photo of Miss Keiko's abduction.

"Look," said Gregory, glancing at the photographs, and then showing them to the crowd. "Are there any similarities?"

Side by side, the two photographs were put together, and everyone realized Gregory's alleged evidence.

At the edge of Miss Keiko's kidnapping photo, the room setting that is exposed is exactly the same as the photo taken by Chiba!

"The corner of the floor-to-ceiling window in the upper left corner, and the corner of the oil painting on the upper right, these are exactly the same as the position of the photo that this kid just took." Gregory was clearly pleased with the expressions on the faces of the crowd. "Please note that the autopsy results show that the time of death of Miss Keiko was in the early hours of yesterday morning, and Miss Keiko's kidnapping photos were taken during the day (after all, it is a letter sent during the day, and it must be used to use the kidnapping photos taken during the day to be credible), unless there is a replica of this room, Miss Keiko, who was killed before dawn, could not have taken such a daytime photo anyway."

"Now, I said that this kidnapping case was kidnapped by Miss Keiko herself, does anyone have any objections?"
