Chapter 707: Lucia's Puppet Homicide 8 Solve the case

The second night of the Lucia Pavilion passed, and it was very unexpected that nothing happened that night, or the murderer temporarily canceled the operation for some reason.

It is most likely that he noticed the movement of Gao Cheng and Gao Yuanyao.

However, it is conceivable that the murderer is probably quite anxious, after all, there are not a few days left before the deadline for the competition.

After solving the code puzzle, Gao Cheng has two guesses about the murderer, one is one of the five candidates, and the other is the housekeeper Tashiro or the maid Kirie.

After picking it off with Gao Yuanyao, Gao Cheng put his suspicions on the two people behind, which was also considered from the purpose of Yamaouchi Hengsheng.

If the five candidates are all sacrifices, the murderer can only be someone else, and it was arranged by Yamauchi Hengsheng from the beginning.

First of all, Tashiro Butler, considering the butler's dissatisfaction with the lack of qualifications to inherit the inheritance, there are motives, but the old butler will not necessarily kill the candidates, unless Yamauchi let the butler know the meaning of this code before he died, and made some kind of promise hint.

The other is the maid Kirie Xiangzi.

"Knock ——!"

Before the bell rang at 10 o'clock in the morning, Gao Cheng went down the ladder from the window of the reception room of the bell tower to the front of the big bell, and when the bell rang, he immediately found a secret compartment on the edge of the big bell, in which only a letter was placed, on which were written the words "Yamanouchi Hengsheng's testament".

Gao Cheng didn't rush to open it, first carefully checked the condition of the envelope, the seal was covered with the seal of Yamauchi Hengsheng, and there were vague traces of being opened.

"Solve the mystery of my Yamanouchi Tsunesanto Temple, and the person who knows where this second suicide note is located is the one who inherits my inheritance, and the inheritance right is so hungry that the inheritance is limited to the following 5 people, Kadashi Kadashi, Kaoru Umezono, Yuzuki Riyume, Koji Takada, Takashi Inukai......

"However, when the deadline for deciphering the code has expired, and all five of the people who have the right to inherit are no longer present, the inheritance will be given to the person who unlocked the code, and it is no longer limited to the candidate."

After reading all the contents, Gao Cheng resealed it and put it back in the dark grid.

The way that Yamauchi Hengsheng used to control the murderer to kill people can be regarded as found, but the question is how Yamauchi Hengsheng is sure that the murderer will definitely know the content of the second suicide note before several candidates.

Surely they would not have known before the lawyer showed the tape that there would have been a better way than hasty killing.

In addition, how can Yamauchi Hengsheng be sure that the murderer will definitely choose to kill, although the inheritance is very attractive, but not everyone can do it, and it is in the presence of him, a detective.

Gao Cheng's mind flashed the figure of the maid Tongjiang Xiangzi.

From the time the video was played to the present, the clock has struck 10 o'clock a total of 4 times, and the murderer can only go to the bell to find a second suicide note for the first time, that is, the time before the murder of Shinmei Tadashi.

At that time, everyone was in the restaurant preparing to watch the pre-dinner videotape, even the housekeeper Tashiro was also present, and the only one who was not there was Kirie Xiangko.

Although Tongjiang Xiangzi didn't look like a murderer, Gao Cheng didn't hesitate at all when he was suspicious.

It's not normal for a young girl to be willing to come to this kind of deep mountain to be a maid, and the reason for worshiping Yamanouchi or wanting to learn may not be true.

What is lacking is the complete motive of Kirie Xiangzi, the motive that can prompt the girl to kill should be much more complicated than that of Tashiro Housekeeper.

In addition, no matter who the murderer is, the most critical and decisive evidence cannot be found, and on this isolated island in the middle of the lake, many investigations cannot be carried out, whether it is fingerprint sampling or a large-scale search of the entire villa, and even a few bodies are still in the room, fortunately, the temperature is not high now, and there is no need to worry about stinky for the time being.

In other words, there are only two options left for him, either to set a trap for the murderer and let the murderer jump out by himself, which has a high chance of success, but it will definitely take a lot of time, and Gao Yuanyao on the other side may not be able to give him time.

That guy doesn't necessarily pay attention to any evidence, and once he starts to suspect it, he is likely to do it immediately.

The second option is to force the murderer to confess himself, which is the most difficult option, which is almost impossible to achieve under the current conditions, but no smart detective will deal with it like this......

At lunchtime, everyone gathered again in the villa restaurant, and Gao Cheng was still trying his best to sort out all the useful clues, still wanting to make a second choice.

Maybe because nothing happened last night, Kaoru Umezono, who was still very frightened, looked a lot better, and felt a sense of relief, but because of this, he was more concerned about the puzzles that had not been solved, and he was obviously more hostile to Koji Takada and Inukai Takashi, especially to Gao Cheng, and secretly complained about why the murderer didn't solve this kind of detective first.

Of course, the fact that the murderer skipped Koji Takada to kill Yuzuki also made her suspicious.

In the face of a huge inheritance, detectives are not trustworthy......

Lunch was spent in a fairly quiet atmosphere, and then it was still coffee time after the meal, because it wasn't dinner, Kaoru Umezono didn't think too much, and habitually added sugar to the coffee, only stopped when he was about to drink, and looked strangely at Gao Cheng, who didn't move the coffee, and the mask man who was always mysterious.

"What's wrong?"

No one responded to Kaoru Meiyuan, only Xiao Ai raised his hand and yawned, and looked at Gao Cheng, who remained calm, and the masked man on the other side.

She actually heard everything last night, and it was very simple for her to pretend to cry and pretend to sleep, but because of this, Gao Cheng almost didn't sleep all night.

"Hey," Kaoru Umezono said with a stiff smile as she put down her coffee cup, "Isn't it just noon?" Did someone put sleeping pills in their coffee? ”

Inukai Takashi looked at the big-chested woman speechlessly: "If the murderer can't commit murder at night, there will only be other times, and during the day, everyone may let down their vigilance, and it may be even more dangerous than at night......"

Saying that, Inukai Gao Zhi's eyes fell on Gao Cheng and the masked man.

"I paid special attention to it during the meal yesterday, and the problem may be that the coffee after the meal needs to be added to the sugar before drinking, and when Mr. Tashiro brought the sugar, I carefully observed the situation at that time, and the only ones who did not add sugar were Detective Joto and Mr. Rosyth, and Detective Joto didn't even drink coffee, right?"

Seeing that Gao Cheng and the masked man did not respond, Inukai Takashi's eyes became more and more hot.

"If you add sleeping pills to coffee or sugar, of course the murderer can't drink it, and if you fall asleep, how can you kill someone?"

"But the murderer really didn't kill last night......," Kaoru Umezono hesitated.

Gao Cheng, Xiao Ai and the masked man may not have been drugged, but this may also be intentional by the murderer, and as a candidate, Inukai Gao Zhi's words are not enough to make her believe.

"It's not a killing," Inukai Takashi said with a smile, "But it's possible that something happened suddenly, after all, not everyone has been given sleeping pills, and if they are discovered, it will be a big trouble, especially if the other party is still a detective......"

Kaoru Umezono looked at the masked man in surprise: "Do you think Mr. Rosyth is the murderer?!" ”

"I'm just guessing," Inukai Takashi reasoned, "Think about it, if it goes according to plan, what method will the murderer use to kill?" There were no secret passages in everyone's room, and the doors and windows were locked, so only Roseth, who had taken the key to the lock shelf, could easily open everyone's door with the spare key......"

"But, but his room is blocked from the outside, and there is no secret passage......

"That's what he said, isn't it? No one has confirmed it. ”

Gao Yuanyao was silent and hugged his arms, and only glanced at Inukai Takashi after reasoning, neither denying nor admitting it.

In fact, he was also very curious, the lock key was in his hand, how the murderer was going to kill.

Since there was no movement last night, it can only be explained that the murderer may be the Tashiro housekeeper who originally kept the key......

"There is only one murderer," Gao Cheng thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't doubt Mr. Rosyth anymore." ”
