Even Hattori Heiji was speechless at this naive policeman. "Fine, maybe the button. But there's such a huge liquor bottle and such a big sandal in the boat—would the murderer really not notice them? If I were him, I'd have taken that evidence away or tossed it into the sea long ago."
Hearing them argue, the three fishermen came over. Blue vest tentatively asked, "We can leave soon, right?"

Red Vest said impatiently, "Don't mystery dramas always have that thing—estimating the time of death or whatever? Can't you check it already?"
Inspector Yokomizo's head hurt from being rushed. "We're already checking. We'll do it as quickly as possible. But..."

Jiang Xia looked at him. "You don't want to hear who the murderer is?"
"..." Hattori Heiji
