Chapter 0156: The Murderer of the Tun Ben Family
On Sunday, June 30th, on a cruise ship at the Tunmoto family.
At around 4 p.m., the cruise ship arrived on the island, and the Twilight Police Department, who had arrived early, immediately boarded the cruise ship with the police, and met Yamazaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Suzuki, who had come to meet them.
"You're the Suzuki butler," the Twilight Police Department asked, "why did you ...... last night?"
Suzuki bowed deeply and said, "I'm very sorry. ”
"Please come with me, Dusk Police Department. Yamazaki laughed.
Yamazaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Suzuki lead the Twilight Police Department to Mori's room. Mori was sitting behind a desk with his back to the crowd, and the six of them, Mr. and Mrs. Mariko of the Hiromoto family, Mr. Ichiro, Mr. Shoji, Ms. Akie and Mr. Ryuro, and Midaiko were already sitting on the sofa in front of the desk.
"You may be seated, Twilight Police," Mori said to the Twilight Police Department without looking back, "You can start my reasoning show when you come." ”
"Push, reasoning show?" the Twilight Police Department felt a little confused.
Miss Akie asked, "So, do you know who attacked Grandpa?"
"Didn't you say Xiao Wu?" said Mr. Ryuro, "Let's find him quickly." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Ryuro, after listening to my reasoning, you will be able to find Mr. Xiao Wu immediately. Maori asked, "But before I begin, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask me?" Mr. Ryuro asked, "What's the problem?"
Maori asked, "How many do you think you are?"
Mr. Ryuro immediately replied with a smile, "Of course it's the third one." ”
"What?" asked Miss Akie rhetorically.
The Twilight Police Department asked, "Maori, what are you talking about?"
Ms. Mariko asked, "What do you mean?"
"That's a good answer," Maori said, "and that's exactly what you think." ”
Seeing that Mr. Ryuro's face changed, Miss Akie asked, "Ryuro, what is the third, what are you talking about?"
"We're talking about the order of killing, or the order of killing, right?" Mori said, "Mr. Ryuro who opened the door to the warehouse. ”
"I—I'm ......" Mr. Ryuro's face turned completely pale.
"The order of killing, killing?" asked the Dusk Police Department in surprise.
"Miss Akie, a weak woman who is alone, is in first place, Mr. Ichiro, who likes to paint and looks weak, is second, Mr. Ryuro, who is not very athletic, is third, Mr. Shoji, who is tall and strong, is fourth, and Ms. Mariko, who is basically inseparable from each other, is last," Mori said. ”
"What!" Miss Akie asked, "Ryuro, is this true, and you let him out to kill me?"
"No, it's not. Ryuro hurriedly defended, "I didn't think about killing you. ”
"Didn't you think about killing me?" said Miss Akie, "you can't even speak now, it seems that you let him out." Then he smiled, "That's good, that's good, in this way, you don't have to pay for divorce." ”
"It can't be," cried Mr. Ryuro, "I'm not going to leave the money for you and the man outside." ”
"What?" called Miss Akie, "you—you investigate me!"
"Ahem, the problem between you husband and wife will be resolved slowly in the future, and we will continue to talk about the incident on the ship. "Now let's think about it, first of all, the door to Mr. Hirozai's room was closed, and there was blood on the door frame under the door, which means that Mr. Hiroshi was stabbed in front of the door of the room, and the Suzuki butler also picked up a pearl on the carpet in front of the door." ”
"Yes, you're right," said Mr. Ryuro, "that pearl belongs to Xiao Wu, so of course he is the murderer." ”
"However, it is strange that the blood stains on the carpet in front of the door have been wiped away, and it is understandable if the murderer fled in a hurry and did not see the pearl fall, but the murderer wiped the place before leaving. "And when the murderer squatted down to wipe the carpet, it was impossible not to see the reflection of the pearl." So I think the murderer deliberately left the pearl there and wanted to frame it for Mr. Xiao Wu. ”
Miss Qiu Jiang said: "Perhaps, that pearl fell when Xiao Wu squatted down and wiped the carpet. ”
"I don't think pearls fall so casually. "Still, I think it's better to ask him to explain the reason why the pearl fell." ”
"Myself?" said Lady Mariko, "Did you find him?" ”
"Come out, Mr. Xiao Wu. Maori said loudly.
Mr. Xiao Wu came out of the closet, and Miss Qiu Jiang immediately asked, "Xiao Wu, why did you come out of the warehouse?
"No...... No," Mr. Xiao Wu said quickly, "I wanted to go to the bathroom and found the door open, so I came out." Later, he fell asleep under the table in the dining room, and was later found by Mr. Mori while getting something to eat in the kitchen. ”
Mr. Shoji asked, "What about the pearl?"
Mr. Xiao Wu replied, "The pearl was dropped when my grandfather pulled me out of the door when he pulled me out of the door." ”
"Is it Dad?" Mr. Shoji asked again, "Xiao Wu, what you said is true?"
"It's true. Mr. Xiao Wu said.
"This can be verified," asked Maori, "Dusk Police Department, can you have someone check the fingerprints on the tie and clip to see if there are any fingerprints of Mr. Hiroza?"
"That's fine. ”
Mori asked, "I don't think Mr. Hirozo would have been interested in that tie clip before, would he?"
Mr. Shoji said, "Dad doesn't like these Western-style things. ”
"This was bought by Xia Jiang for Xiao Wu. Miss Akie said.
Mr. Xiao Wu took off his tie and handed it to the forensic staff.
Mr. Ryuro said: "Maybe Grandpa was stabbed by Xiao Wu when he dragged him out." ”
"Mr. Hirozo was stabbed at the door, his wound was in the back, he was lying in the room, there was only a small amount of blood on the carpet in front of the door, and it was not easy to see after being wiped. Maori said, "If Mr. Xiao Wu stabbed Mr. Hao Zuo when he went out, then Mr. Hao Zang should be lying outside the door, even if he was pushed back to the room by Mr. Xiao Wu, there should be more blood stains on the carpet outside the door." ”
Mr. Ryuro said again: "That Xiao Wu assassinated Grandpa when he returned to the room." ”
"I think the situation at that time was like this, Mr. Haozai was talking about Mr. Xiaowu's no, while pulling his tie and pulling him out of the door, and Mr. Haozo was of course standing outside the door, and then he continued to talk about Mr. Xiaowu's no, while admiring Mr. Xiaowu's deserted appearance. "So when Mr. Haozai turned back to his room, Mr. Xiao Wu didn't have time to turn around and assassinate him." ”
"If that's the case, then you should be able to hear Daddy's screams when he was stabbed," Mr. Shoji asked, "Xiao Wu, why didn't you look back?" ”
"I—I didn't hear it. Mr. Xiao Wu said.
"What?" Mr. Shoji asked angrily.
"Mr. Shoji, you don't have to blame Mr. Xiao Wu," said Maori, "because his concealed identity was revealed, and because of Mr. Haozai's number, he was in a trance, so that he didn't hear it at all, and he should have heard the voice." Then he asked, "Is that so?"
"Yes," Mr. Xiao Wu replied quickly, and then added, "My heart was very confused, and I didn't come back to my senses until about seven o'clock. ”
"So, Mr. Mori," Mr. Shoji asked, "if the murderer is not Xiao Wu, then who is the real murderer, Ryuo?"
"It's you. Mr. Ryu exclaimed, "I just opened the warehouse." ”
"Yes," called Miss Akie, "you ......."
"Ahem!" said the Dusk Police Department, "please be quiet. ”
"Before I say who it is, I want to ask," Maori asked, "Mr. Murderer, aren't you going to turn yourself in now?" After a few moments, no one was answered, and Maori added, "It seems that you are very confident in the murder weapon you used." ”
"Hey, hey, Maori," the Dusk Police Department asked, "don't you even know what the murder weapon is?"
"Yes, Dusk Police, even now, I'm just speculating. "When I investigated, I found that at that time, the only sharp weapon that could be accessed on the ship was the set of knives that Mr. Shoji carried. ”
"Ah, that's Shoji?" asked Lady Mariko.
Shoji said, "Don't talk nonsense, sister. ”
"I think it was the remark that Ms. Akie said yesterday afternoon," Mori said, "and the people who heard it at that time were Ms. Mariko and Mrs. Mariko, Mr. Ichiro, Ms. Akie and Mr. Ryuro. ”
Lady Mariko asked, "Ah, how did you know about this?" ”
"I said it," said Yamazaki, "at that time, Mei Daiko also heard the words, and she wanted to tell Miss Xia Jiang, but Miss Xia Jiang didn't want to hear it, so Mei Daiko didn't say it." So Mr. Shoji, who was with us at the time, didn't know. ”
Later, until the incident, Mr. Shoji did not know about the translation, so his motive was insufficient. Mori said, "Mr. Shoji, please take out your precious knife." ”
"Huh? Okay. As he spoke, Mr. Shoji opened the knife box that he had brought with him when he came.
"This set of knives, Mr. Shoji used it in the kitchen and brought it to the dining room, so he was the only one who did it when there was no one in the kitchen, otherwise no one would have been able to touch his precious knives during that time. Maori said, "Now that there is no shortage of knives and they have not been disposed of, it can be seen that the murder weapon is not the only sharp weapon that can be accessed on this ship." ”
The Twilight Police Department asked, "What the hell is that murder weapon?"
"Twilight Police," Maori asked, "have you been to the hospital, what is the shape of Mr. Haozai's wound?"
"Uh-huh," said the Dusk Police Department after a moment's thought, "by the way, Mr. Haozai's wound is strange, a cone-shaped wound. ”
"Sure enough. "Then, before I tell you about the murder weapon, let me tell me what happened so that you can believe it." ”
"Believe what?" asked the Twilight Police Department.
"The truth, the only truth. Maori replied. Then he said, "I think the incident happened like this, Mr. Haozai saw Mr. Xiao Wu leave, and when he turned back to his room, he was attacked from behind by the murderer. In order to prevent Mr. Kozai's screams from coming out, the murderer immediately pushed Mr. Kozai into the room and closed the door. So what Mr. Xiao Wu heard at that time was only the sound of the door closing, and it was the sound that should have been, and it couldn't wake up Mr. Xiao Wu who lost his mind at all. ”
"But, there may have been such a voice. Trying to recall, Mr. Xiao Wu said.
The murderer squatted down and wiped the blood on the carpet, and at the same time found the pearl, so he decided to leave the pearl there and become a tool to blame Mr. Xiao Wu. "But the killer also left something behind. ”
Mr. Ryuo asked, "What is it?"
"Breadcrumbs. Maori said.
"What," said Miss Akie with a smile, "we ate bread that night, okay?" ”
"So, may I ask Miss Akie," asked Maori, "do you let the crumbs fall on you when you eat Western food?"
"How is that possible. Miss Akie exclaimed.
Mr. Ryuro smiled, "Very likely. ”
"It's still possible. "But I found someone who was bound to drop breadcrumbs......"
"Well," a voice rang out in the room, "I threw in the towel." ”
"Who's that?" said Mariko, standing up and looking around.
"It's me, Mom. Mr. Ichiro said.
"Ichiro?" exclaimed Mr. Kitaro and Ms. Mariko in surprise.
"What?" exclaimed Mr. Shoji, Miss Akie, and Mr. Ryuro in surprise.
"No, it won't. Lan and Yuanzi exclaimed in surprise.
"Before Mr. Kozashi was stabbed, Mr. Ichiro had been drawing, and he used charcoal to draw, and he chose bread to use as an eraser for charcoal drawing. That's why Mr. Ichiro has crumbs on him, and because Mr. Ichiro often gets crumbs on his body, he doesn't care about the crumbs on his body like everyone else, so he falls to the ground when he attacks Mr. Kozo and squats down to wipe the floor. "If you test it, you can also see charcoal on the crumbs, but this doesn't prove it because Mr. Ichiro has been there since then." ”
"Looks like I'm a little out of breath. Mr. Ichiro said with emotion.
"Ichiro. Mariko shouted worriedly.
"I'm fine, Mom. Patting Ms. Mariko on the shoulder, Mr. Ichiro said, "Grandpa is not dead." ”
"How do you know?" asked the Dusk Police Department.
Mr. Ichiro said, "When I stabbed him, I knew that he would not die, and I had no intention of killing him. ”
"Then why did you close the door?" asked Miss Akie.
"I wiped the blood and closed the door so that my grandfather could have more blood," Mr. Ichiro said, "and I had a lot of rest." ”
Mr. Xiao Wu asked angrily, "Then why did you blame me?"
"Mr. Takehiko Caishiro," Mr. Ichiro asked rhetorically, "isn't it right to blame you?"
"Then why did you stab Dad?" asked Mr. Shoji.
"This ......," Mr. Ichiro said, a little embarrassed.
Maori said, "It's for ......"
"For the sake of property," said Yamazaki, "and at the same time to let his father, Mr. Kitaro, take Mr. Hirozai's place." Then he asked, "Is that so, Mr. Ichiro?"
"Yes, yes. Mr. Ichiro said.
"Hey, Maori," the Twilight Police Department asked, "what the hell is the murder weapon?"
"It's what Mr. Ichiro used to paint. "A charcoal pen." ”
"What?" shouted the Twilight Police Department and the others in surprise.
"Mr. Mori's reasoning is not bad at all," said Mr. Ichiro, "and I stabbed my grandfather with a sharpened charcoal." ”
"This matter, as long as you examine Mr. Haozai's wounds, you can have a result. "Of course, the charcoal should be missing by now." ”
"Yes," said Mr. Ichiro, "last night, when I came out to greet Miss Midaiko, I took the opportunity to throw her into the sea. Then he asked, "Mr. Maori, I would like to ask a question, which is ......."
"If you don't come out and admit it, how can you prove that you're a murderer?" said Maori, "It's easy, let them sharpen charcoal, not everyone can cut that charcoal in the shape of a wound." ”
"I see, I took it. Mr. Ichiro said.
Mr. Shoji asked, "By the way, Mr. Mori, are you here to investigate us?"
"Yes, I was hired by Mr. Haozai to investigate what you would do if you knew he had made a decision about his property. "Now it seems that you have taken precautions, so I have found nothing of value." ”
"Of course, Daddy, he doesn't like detectives the most. Mr. Shoji smiled and asked, "Now that a detective suddenly appears in front of all of us, how can it not arouse suspicion?"
The Twilight Police Department said, "Alright, Mr. Ichiro Hiromoto, please come with us." ”
"Ichiro!" Mr. and Mrs. Kitaro shouted worriedly.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Mr. Ichiro said, "Let's go, Twilight Police Department." ”……
