Following the sound, Kurosawa Silver was still sitting near the trunk of the tree in that unchanged posture, and his face could not be seen clearly.
But it is precisely because he can't perceive what he thinks in his heart that other people's hearts are as curious as a cat scratching an itch.
"You say what I just said is a false inference?" Mori Kogoro looked at Kurosawa Silver with dissatisfaction.
As a detective, the reasoning has been overturned one after another, not to mention others, and Mori Kogoro's personality who doesn't want to suffer for himself will not give up.
"Yes. Gray Yuan didn't change the slightest bit of her inner fluctuation because of Maori Kogoro's words, she just took the camera away, began to turn her head sideways, looked at the lawn floor not far away, and snorted softly, "Because there will not be the same person, at the same time, with two murder weapons to kill." β
"This ......," Mori Kogoro frowned suddenly, "maybe it's because he wants to cover it?"
"It's impossible!" Ashbara immediately retorted, "Not only will this leave trouble in dealing with it, but you should be careful, the police officers once said that Mr. Okubo greeted others while walking, so how can he suddenly change his running route in such a situation?"
"Perhaps, Mr. Higashino is just ahead of Mr. Okubo's walking route?" Mori Kogoro asked, "Besides, he can't always greet people during his walk, maybe, it'sβ"
Mori Kogoro relayed what was in his heart in detail.
In the picture he imagined, after saying hello to the people who were also walking in the park, Okubo suddenly saw Kotaro Higashino, who was walking in the park with his waist crossed and wanted to go on an appointment with Akemi Miyano, and thought of the debt of the loan shark he had borrowed, so he became angry and followed quietly.
Taking advantage of the fact that Higashino Kotaro walked into the shadows, he shook the chain in his hand and smashed it into the back of Higashino Kotaro's head, causing him to fall unconscious, and then sped up his pace, turned over Higashino Kotaro who fell to the ground, and after killing him with one blow, he threw his body into the fountain in the park.
"It's impossible!" Unexpectedly, just when Maori Kogoro just said this, even Sato had to interrupt Maori Kogoro's words at this moment, coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and motioned to the colleague next to him to move a camera over, turn on the image, and let Maori Kogoro come and watch.
This is the view of the park during the day.
In the vicinity of the fountain, you can see a sparse crowd of people strolling.
Nowadays, it is even more important to focus on Okubo, who is walking as usual according to the usual practice.
He was holding the dog with a leisurely expression, and he had been walking around the three meters near the fountain, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Kotaro Higashino walking outside the park with his trouser pocket, and his expression suddenly became ugly.
The two met near the fountain pool, stood still, and seemed to talk about something.
"He's saying that if I don't pay my debts, I'll be charged with embezzlement of company funds. Okubo clenched his fists beside him, "I just borrowed a sum of money from him, he didn't want a loan shark, and he wanted to blame me for what he did in the company, so I ......"
The crowd continued to turn their attention to the camera.
In the picture, Kotaro Higashino sneered, put his hands behind his back, as if he felt too hot, and walked to the shade of the tree next to him to take advantage of the shade, Okubo's body has been trembling, causing the chain in his hand to loosen involuntarily, and his restless dog also went into the bushes.
Okubo unconsciously ran a few steps forward, his body parallel to the ground trying to stumble and drag his dog, and after passing a tree, he ran out three seconds later.
The camera shot from top to bottom, and all you can see is the canopy.
Okubo's body happens to be hidden by the canopy, and the position of the trunk where Kotaro Higashino is standing is also hidden by the canopy, and between the two, to be precise, between the trees, there is a gap in sunlight.
In just a second, Okubo stepped out of the shadow of the canopy to a place where the camera could shoot him, turned his head to look at where Kotaro Higashino was standing, and then pulled his dog on his way and walked out of the park after a few circles.
"At first, we ruled out Okubo's suspicion because he had no contact with the victim at all, and it was impossible for him to kill people from a distance of one meter in a second. Miwako Sato shrugged helplessly, "But now I know that if you throw it off with an iron chain, you can hurt people under this condition." Can thrust at close rangeβ"
When she said this, she paused deliberately, and finally shook her head helplessly: "Impossible." β
"So that's ......" Mori Kogoro was a little discouraged, his body drooped down all of a sudden, and he randomly shifted his gaze to Kurosawa Gin, "Then, Kurosawa, now that the wound on the back of the head is solved, can you tell me how the wound in front was formed? It wasn't Okubo who stabbed it, so who stabbed it?"
He didn't show any extreme consciousness in his current words.
Gray Yuan was silent for a while, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, tilting his head slightly.
"As I said at the beginning, in addition to the serious and fatal wounds on the body, there were also small and fragmented wounds scattered throughout the body. Perhaps the police speculated that this was the victim's mark of being cut by the grass when he fell to the ground, but if this is the case, there will not be both the chest and the back. β
She carefully reflected on the condition of the wound and continued to recount.
"Besides, if it's really a mark from a cut in grass, maybe it should be more slender than a fragmentary mark. β
"And so, and so and so -- and so and so -- then there is only one possibility.
"The fact that the victim was hung from the canopy of a tree, and it was only in the process of dragging it that there were so many irregular scars on the body, which can also be related to what Mr. Okubo said about the sudden disappearance of the victim. β
Half-crouching down, Gray Yuan pinched a fallen leaf with his fingertips, and while carefully looking at the veins, his backhand hit the tree.
The branches swayed in the dimness, and a few leaves fell naturally from the canopy and fell to the ground.
"If I put a lot of effort into it, I believe there is a great possibility that I can detect a blood reaction in the canopy of the tree where Mr. Higashino stayed at the end, and in this case, I can prove my hypothesis. β
"But wasn't he stabbed to death?" asked Mori Kogoro with a stunned expression, "and how could a man be hung up all of a sudden?"
Gray Yuan closed his eyes and lowered the brim of his hat: "The state of the corpse is the most favorable evidence. β
"Mr. Higashino had abrasion marks on the soles of his shoes, and there were more residues of soil and grass clippings on the tips of his feet than on his heels, wood fibers between his right fingers, and abrasion marks on his nails - it was evident that when Mr. Okubo was attacked, he stumbled forward and pressed his right hand against the trunk of a tree to temporarily stabilize his body. β
"The reason why I say temporarily, it is because, the moment his hand touches the trunk of the tree, his foot is stepping into the trap set by the murderer. (To be continued.) )
