Between the ceremonies, Kohashi Kenmi stood at the door with a tense expression, a trace of sweat gradually flowing from his face, and silently looked at the corpse of the fire worship Jiuyao kneeling by the wall.

All the magic lantern wires that had been routed from under the carpet were pulled out, and the middle section was wrapped around the neck of the fire worship Jiuyao and hung on the low hook on the wall, his eyes rolled white, his mouth wide open, and his arms hung weakly...... It's like some kind of ritual is being held.

Exactly the same way as the puppet's death, a second victim appeared after the president of the green dragon.

Gao Cheng became more and more calm, but Rao couldn't help frowning like this.

Through the stiffness of the corpse, the time of death of the fire worship Jiuyao was roughly between 11:30 and 12:30 last night, just when the tea party was about to be held, when he took the doctor and Ayumi and his party to the living room in advance, and the black melon ghost door seemed to have been staying in the living room, and even the people behind him went to the toilet one after another without leaving half a step.

"It's a pity," the Black Melon Ghost Gate heard the news and came to the ceremony, and saw that the corpse of Jiuyao was not the slightest wave, "Jiuyao didn't go to the tea party yesterday now, and after all, he was cursed by the Holy Spirit......"

"Mr. Black Melon," Kenmi Kohashi looked at the Black Melon Ghost Gate tightly, "You said yesterday that you couldn't come between the ceremonies before the tea party, did you already know something?" ”

"Didn't I say it a long time ago?" The Black Melon Ghost Gate said coldly, "There was a Holy Spirit coming here yesterday, since Mr. Jiuyao has experienced the ritual, he should be aware of the consequences of the curse and the backlash......

Kobashi Kenjian clenched his fists, helplessly watching the black melon ghost gate leave, he didn't have any evidence against the black melon ghost gate, and this person also had a very sufficient alibi.

"Castle ......"

"Let's wait until the police come."

Gao Cheng shook his head and didn't say anything.

He couldn't deduce until he found more clues, and he wondered why the killer would kill people in the way of cursed dolls, if not pure bad taste, then there must be some reason for it.

What's even stranger is that he chose to kill someone when he is a detective, is it like a provocation, or is there a reason why he had to do it last night?

It didn't take too long for the Nagano Prefecture police to arrive, originally Gao Cheng thought that he would meet Yamato Dasuke last time, but the police officer who led the team was another person, with a horse face, who looked very decent, and seemed to know something about him.

"Detective Seongto," Officer Ma-faced took Gao Cheng and Xiaoqiao to the monitoring room of the Grape House, "After our investigation, there happened to be a surveillance camera from a distance to capture the window of the room between the ceremonies, that is, the scene of the crime, although the picture is not very clear, but if you look closely, you can still see the magic lamp light shining through the lace curtains......"

The police officer called up the surveillance footage, and then the horse-faced officer said: "At 12 o'clock, the lights went out, and the time it came back was about 12:11 about 10 minutes later, and then the lights were on until the body was found." ”

Officer Horseface said cautiously: "If, according to what you said, the wiring of the magic lamp wire passes through the crack in the carpet, if you want to arrange it like a scene, you must first unplug it once, that is...... The killer was carried out during the time when the magic lamp went out. ”

Kenmi Kohashi looked at the surveillance screen and nodded: "No one is doing anything with the surveillance, at least I can be sure that the prisoner was ...... between ceremonies during the 11 minutes when the lights went out."

"Here's the problem," said Officer Horseface in a deep voice, "I heard that you all gathered in the living room for some tea party at that time, and did anyone leave halfway?" ”

"This ......"

Kobashi Ken saw a headache and said: "After 12 o'clock, everyone is in the living room, although someone leaves, but the time is within 5 minutes, and the magic light goes out at 12 o'clock, and the latest to the living room is just after 12 o'clock, and it takes 2 or 3 minutes to get to the living room from the ceremony at the earliest, and it is too late to ...... at all."

The horse-faced officer frowned: "Do you have a more accurate time to go in and out of the living room?" ”

"How can this be remembered clearly......"

"By the way," Kentaro Izawa, who had not spoken, was pleasantly surprised, "I remember, when I was debugging the security monitoring system here, it seemed that there was a camera that could shoot from the outside to the entrance, and I could see who was entering and leaving the living room...... I'll help you find it. ”

Izawa sat down in front of the surveillance computer and found the camera at the entrance from the surveillance file.

"That's it, I just saw the entrance to the living room from the window of the entrance......"

"Great."

When Officer Mayan saw the surveillance video, his mood relaxed a lot, and he also glanced at Kentaro Izawa.

"This little brother entrusted the detective from the city to investigate the case, right?"

"Well," Kentaro Izawa said embarrassedly, "Originally, I asked Kobashi, but I heard that Joto-senpai was also in Karuizawa, so I paid a visit, and I personally believe in the senior's ability......"

Gao Cheng's face was calm when he heard Jing Ze's words, and he watched the surveillance footage intently.

After 12 o'clock, the two who entered the living room were Izawa and Huo Xingzi, and the time displayed on the surveillance screen was 12:1.

"Izawa, have you been with Miss Xingzi all this time?"

"How is that possible?" Izawa blushed and said, "We met in the hallway, when Miss Hoshiko happened to come out of the kitchen...... Senior, you shouldn't be suspicious of Xingzi, right? The magic light went out at 12 o'clock, and Hoshiko definitely didn't have time to pull the plug......"

"That's right," Gao Cheng said, staring at the surveillance screen, "but everyone else arrived in the living room before 12 o'clock......

The surveillance video continued to play, and at 12:03, President Xiao's wife went out, followed by 12:04, President Xiao also left the living room, and then at 12:06, the two went back to the living room together, and then went out to give Yuanta a few maids and Secretary Haizaki......

"At 12:07, Miss Xingzi came out and came back at 12:12 with brewed vanilla tea...... Just out for 5 minutes. ”

Kohashi Ken's brows squeezed deeper.

"So everyone has an alibi, could it be that someone from outside committed the crime?"

"It seems that this is the only possibility," said Officer Mayan in a deep voice, "I'll have someone investigate the area around the villa again, and if you have any clues, let me know immediately." ”

"Okay."

Seeing that he had no choice but to follow everyone out of the monitoring room, Kohashi Xian grabbed his hair and asked Gao Cheng, who was contemplative next to him, "Chenghu, have you found anything?" ”

Gao Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the distressed Xiaoqiao and shook his head: "No, the murderer really can't rush to the living room of the main house from the ceremony in 1 minute, let's wait for the police officers to investigate first, I still have to look at Dian Yuantai and them...... What about Miss Izumi? ”

"It seems to be in the restaurant, and those imps were there just now."

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, let's eat some together, and the investigation also requires energy."

Gao Cheng went to the restaurant first.

There were some things he didn't say to Kobashi Ken, and the clues in front of him seemed to be what someone wanted him to see, so he always felt that something was wrong, and he felt that there was a huge black shadow hanging around him.

This incident needs to be investigated more carefully.

If the other party is really targeting him, let's have a good fight, and he will definitely pay the price if he is underestimated......

In the villa room, Kentaro Izawa walked into a room with the curtains closed alone, and looked at the black melon ghost door standing by the window with his back to him.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, why do you have to find Gao Cheng, the city household? He doesn't seem to be as good as you say, and he doesn't look like a detective at all......"

"Really?" The Black Melon Ghost Gate turned around and said with a playful smile, "How do you look like a detective?" ”

"At least I don't feel the slightest pressure from him, but Xiaoqiao makes me a little worried......"

Kentaro Izawa couldn't help frowning when he thought of Gao Cheng, who was like a nanny, and when he said it, a complicated look appeared on Kohashi's face.

"It has nothing to do with me whether you have pressure or not," the Black Melon Ghost Gate smiled calmly, "That friend of yours and Chenghu Gaocheng are just the audience I invited, I said it, I won't interfere with anything else, I can only teach you the modus operandi." ”
