Chapter 39: Decryption Time
"The real purpose of the other party is not Miss Sonoji, Reina is the real purpose of the suspect!"
When Lin Xiuyi said this in front of everyone at breakfast, everyone was very surprised by Lin Xiuyi's statement, and everyone didn't understand how Lin Xiuyi came to this conclusion.
"Brother, you're not mistaken, isn't the threat letter sent to Akemi-chan?"
"That's right, the threatening letter was indeed addressed to Miss Sonoji. But the other party is not out of affection, but with the opposite purpose. That is to force Miss Sonoji to leave the crew and completely withdraw from the filming work this time. ”
"But what is the basis for your explanation?" Akemi asked Lin Xiuyi in confusion.
"Then let's review the various events that have happened in the past few days, first Reina-chan and Miss Sonoji were tracked on a trip together, and after returning to the hotel, they received their first package. There was a blood letter, a poster, and a willow blade bun sent inside! I think the recipient of this gift must have felt not a deep love but a deep fear! In fact, the other party also knew this. And just yesterday we found photos from the sender, which look like they were tracking both Miss Sonoji and Reina-chan!"
As soon as Lin Xiu spoke, he took out those photos and handed them to Yuan Zhizhu casually. Immediately after that, everyone began to pass on these photos to each other, including Akemi and Reina. Sure enough, according to Lin Xiuyi's point of view, if you look at Reina as the real goal, these photos also make perfect sense.
"These photos tell us at least one thing, and that is that the suspect was likely aware of Reina's existence when he sent the package. But in this series, Reina is just a stand-in for Miss Sonoji from beginning to end, and the audience has no chance to see Reina's true face, so only people within the crew can know about Reina's existence. ”
"There is one more thing that I really mind, and that is that the murderer sent a willow blade bun in the first package. And as far as I know, the first shot of Reina-chan in the crew was to make alfonsino sashimi. In my opinion, this willow blade bunding is not only a demonstration of Miss Yuannoji, but also a compliment to Reina. And aren't the posters and willow blades symbolizing the character of Mizushima Ikumi?"
"What about the second letter, and those teeth, what is your explanation?" Gen Zhizhu glanced at Reina and Akemi, and then asked Lin Xiuyi.
"The second letter? In my opinion, this should be the beginning of the threat. Before I answer that question, Miss Sonoji, may I ask you a question, and when did you first get Superintendent Mizukawa to approve your acting skills?"
"Uh...... Probably after Reina-chan came to the crew, I was lucky enough to feel the shadow of Mizushima Ikumi from Reina-chan, and it was because of Reina-chan as a reference that my performance finally found the right direction. ”
That's the real purpose behind the second letter. As Miss Sonoji's performance in front of the camera gets better and better, the sender still can't sit still, and he hopes to disrupt Miss Sonoji's normal life with such a bloody-looking threatening letter, so that she is always in fear, and only in this way can he affect Miss Sonoji's performance that is gradually on the right track. ”
"If this general principle is determined, then the subsequent attack on Keiko Horiuchi will make sense, no matter how you look at this case, it will not be a favorable thing for Miss Sonoji after it happens! That means that he should know that the matter between Keiko Horiuchi and Miss Sonoji was actually arranged in the script. And according to my understanding, Miss Sonoji and Keiko Horiuchi actually got along very well before. There is only one answer to why an insider would make such an attack that is very unfavorable to both Keiko Horiuchi and Miss Sonoji, he did it on purpose, and the only person who may benefit from the whole incident seems to be Reina......"
"As for the lamp crash that happened yesterday, there is actually nothing surprising, because the suspect didn't mean to kill anyone, he just wanted to continue to increase the psychological burden of Miss Sonoji and force him to leave the crew. Because the lamp wasn't hanging above the heads of Miss Sonoji or Michiko Yoshise, if it wasn't for the unexpected interruption of the filming by Superintendent Mizukawa, the two would not have gotten to that position anyway. ”
"So according to my estimate, the suspect should be a member of the crew, familiar with the workflow of the crew and the whereabouts of the actors on weekdays. The lamp crash incident is the best proof of this. Because the spot where the lamp fell was in the open space in front of the set. And the actor's activity area in front of the camera is actually very small, and it is impossible to suddenly walk there. Therefore, I deduce that the suspect deliberately arranged this seemingly dangerous incident without estimating the complications of the Mizukawa Supervisory Committee......"
After Lin Xiuyi told everyone about his analysis, the scene suddenly fell into silence. No one thought that the various events that occurred during this period of time, the black hands behind the scenes would actually have such an idea.
"Akemi-chan, I didn't expect the cause of the incident to be because of me, I'm really, really sorry, and you've been living a scared life all this time. ”
Reina suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Akemi, and then said ashamedly.
"How could it be, if it weren't for Reina-chan, I really wouldn't know how to get through this difficult time!"
Akemi quickly stood up and returned the salute in the same way. Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu glanced at each other, then quietly stood up and left the restaurant together. Now is the time to truly witness the friendship, and the matter between Reina and Akemi is still left to them to deal with on their own.
"Lin Police Department, since you have seen the truth behind the incident, then you naturally know how to make the suspect sacrifice his original form!"
"Yes, but with you, the inspector of the police department, how dare I act recklessly? Now that I think about it, most of the bloodstains used for writing and the teeth that exaggerate the sense of fear are not the suspect's own!"
"Actually, occasionally there are some irregularities that are unavoidable, I think the police department will also turn a blind eye!" Yuan Zhizhu said to Lin Xiuyi with a smile.
"What you say sounds really in line with the status of a bureaucrat, can I understand that this is your acquiescence to me?"
Yuan Zhizhu patted Lin Xiuyi on the shoulder and walked towards his room with silence, but looking at his back walking with the wind, Lin Xiu had already understood what this temporary partner meant.
