Chapter 500: The Last Ring Counterattack 2
Living room, the time was 12 o'clock at midnight, the people in the Grape House gathered again to hold a tea party, but the number of people was a little smaller, except for the murdered Huo Jiuyao and Huo Xixiao, Dr. Asa took the children back to the lake villa at noon, but there were a few more criminal policemen.
"Where's the Joto detective?" Officer Mayan didn't see Gao Cheng's figure, and wondered for a while, "Didn't he say that he would continue to hold a tea party?" ”
"I don't know," the young detective next to him was also confused, "I didn't know where to go after borrowing a few people from me before." ”
At this time, the fire worship star who changed into a white dress entered the living room with a teacup and brewed vanilla tea.
"I've been waiting for a long time, everyone," Huo Xingzi said with a smile as he put the tea on the coffee table in the middle, "I thought the tea party was going to be canceled, but fortunately Kentaro told me." ”
"Actually, this tea party was requested by Detective Joto," Officer Horseface asked, "Miss Xingzi, have you seen him?" ”
Huo Xingzi looked confused: "No, what's wrong with the detective of the city?" ”
"No one has seen the Castle Detective?"
The horse-faced officer became solemn, his face looked a little ugly, and while letting his subordinates go to find someone, he looked at Huo Xingzi with suspicion.
"Miss Xingzi, in fact, the Detective Joto is already suspecting that you are the murderer of this murder, and our police have also collected some clues......"
"How-how?" Huo Xingzi's body tightened, and he smiled stiffly, "How can I be a murderer?" Detective Joto must have made a mistake......"
"I can explain the murderer," Kohashi Kenmi looked at Hoshiko with the same suspicion, "When Mr. Jiuyao was killed, on the surface, it seemed that everyone had an alibi, and no one had time to unplug the magic lamp between ceremonies, but if you just turn off the lights, you can do it even if you don't go between ceremonies......
"Miss Xingzi, the magic lamp goes out at 12 o'clock, and the time when it lights up again is 12:11, and you, who are in the kitchen at both times, can cut off the power supply between ceremonies through the main gate in the kitchen, as for the layout of the murder scene, it should be that Mr. Jiuyao's body was hidden there in advance, and then borrowed 5 minutes to make tea at 12:07 to rush to the ceremony to arrange it......"
"It's too much, Xiaoqiao," Huo Xingzi said with tears in his eyes, "Why did I kill my brother?" Besides, 5 minutes is just enough to make tea......"
"Of course there is evidence for you," Xiaoqiao interrupted, "Those three cursed dolls, after the police investigation, the police dog smelled your scent from above, but this can already be directly interrogated, this tea party is just a chance for the castle to give you." ”
"Star, Star......"
Huo Xixiao's wife and maid Xiaoquan stood up in disbelief, but Jing Ze turned his head away, gritted his teeth, looked at Huo Xixingzi again and said, "Xingzi, there must be some misunderstanding, right?" ”
"I ......," Huo Xingzi took a step back, "It's just that there is a smell on the puppet, so it doesn't mean that I'm a murderer, right?" ”
"Boom!" As the clouds gathered, the rain in Karuizawa became heavier and heavier, and from time to time a burst of thunder shrouded the Grape House.
Gao Cheng gradually searched Kentaro Izawa's room and all the places where he might have moved, but he never found any traces of the abnormality.
He set his suspicious gaze on Izawa, but unfortunately he couldn't find evidence at all, Izawa's methods were quite clean and did not leave a tail.
If he hadn't been prepared, this crime that had been carefully planned by Gao Yuanyaoyi might really turn into a perfect crime, at least the police couldn't help it.
"Detective Joto," said the young detective who was sent out by Officer Horseface to find someone, anxiously, "when are we going back to the living room?" The tea party has already begun. ”
"Let's go back now, it just so happens that I also want to expose the murderer's tricks."
Gao Cheng looked up at the surveillance camera that could barely capture the entire corridor after the simple arrangement of the entrance, and walked to the living room with a slight smile.
In the living room, Kohashi Kenmi is still analyzing the feasibility of the fire worship Hoshiko's crime, but he still comes up with inconclusive evidence, and the fire worship Hoshiko gradually calmed down from the initial panic, only admitting that he used a cursed doll, but he denied the murder with an iron heart, and denied Kohashi Kenji's reasoning.
"Even if I did curse them with a cursed puppet, it wouldn't constitute homicide, would it?" Huo Xingzi smiled triumphantly nervously, "It's true that I went to the kitchen, but the reasoning between the ceremonies within 5 minutes is too ridiculous!" Is there any evidence? ”
"Miss Xingzi, only you have time to commit the crime, and the motive is quite sufficient," the horse-faced officer looked at the somewhat distorted face of the fire worship Xingzi in a deep voice, "and now the detective who suspects you is nowhere to be found......"
"Officer," Gao Cheng appeared at the door of the living room, "Miss Xingzi is indeed not a murderer, strictly speaking, she is just a scapegoat to be used. ”
"Detective Joto?"
"Joto?"
Kobashi Ken looked at Gao Cheng who walked into the living room in surprise.
"How do you ......"
"I first discovered this after comparing Mr. Jiuyao's corpse and the photos of the cursed puppet," Gao Cheng stood still, his gaze swept over the crowd, "It may be difficult to notice, but the cursed puppet is actually a little different from the corpse, the wire wrapped around the neck, the doll's wire is wound to the left, and the wire around Mr. Jiuyao's neck is wound to the right......"
"Does it matter?"
"Just give it a try, generally people are used to wrapping ropes in the direction that is convenient for them, right-handed to the right, left-handed to the left...... In other words, unlike the left-handed Miss Xingzi, it is likely that Mr. Jiuyao was killed by a right-handed person......"
"Is this true?"
The horse-faced police officer was taken aback, didn't think much about it, and hurriedly took out photos of the corpse and the puppet for comparison.
"The direction of the wires is indeed different, and someone else really killed Mr. Jiuyao?!"
Huo Xingzi looked at the photo completely confused, looking confused: "I'm indeed left-handed, yes, but ......"
"Miss Xingzi, I want to ask the Black Melon Ghost Gate for advice, and use the black magic spell to kill the president of the Qinglong Society, right?"
Gao Cheng turned to the chaotic-looking Huo Xingzi.
"The order and time of the puppet's death, wrapping the order, are all carried out by the Black Melon Ghost Gate, including cutting off the power between ceremonies during the tea party last night......"
Huo Xingzi didn't speak, just looked at Gao Cheng in horror.
"All the steps are actually just one part of this murder, helping the real murderer to cover up and bear all the charges."
The horse-faced officer felt a chill in his heart and asked tightly, "Who is the real murderer?" Yesterday everyone else had alibis......"
"Before that," Gao Cheng picked up the vanilla teapot, poured the teacups one by one, and pushed one of the unique teacups in front of Kentaro Izawa, "Since it's a tea party, let's have a cup of tea first." ”
Huo Xingzi opened his mouth and hesitated, "That, this is my cup...... The guests are served with expensive tea cups, and I myself have always used this cheap ......"
"What does it matter, Izawa won't care anyway."
Gao Cheng smiled, motioned to Kentaro Izawa and the others to sit down and said, "Let's drink it while it's hot, this herb tea is the 'Rue' that I asked Miss Xingzi to specially prepare." ”
"Rue?"
"It seems to be a kind of herb called the grass of repentance......"
"That's right," Gao Cheng nodded, "I don't want to say the name of the murderer directly, everyone drinks this cup of vanilla tea, if you still have a heart, confess it yourself." ”
The horse-faced officer became more and more stunned: "After drinking this vanilla tea, you can confess your guilt?" Detective Joto, this is too ......"
"Let's get started," Gao Cheng said calmly, "this is my last chance to give the murderer." ”
Everyone picked up their teacups with strange faces, and several policemen looked at Gao Cheng with even more suspicious eyes.
If this herb tea is really useful, why do you need the police? Do you still need to do the hard work?
Kentaro Izawa's body was a little chilly, looking at the teacup in front of him but he couldn't hold it up, sweat gradually flowed on his face, and his fingers began to shake slightly, and he finally picked up the teacup, looking at the steaming herb tea with trembling eyes, but he still didn't dare to bring it to his mouth.
The unique fragrance penetrated Izawa's body, and his body stirred goosebumps as his heart beat violently, and the figure of Gao Yuan Yaoichi, everything flashed in his mind like a movie, and then all shattered in front of his eyes.
Amazing talent and intelligence are like a phantom in front of a cup of vanilla tea in your hand......
"Boom!"
Kentaro Izawa lowered his head unwillingly, put the teacup in his hand back on the table, and gritted his teeth.
"Why? Seondo Gaocheng, how would you know?! ”
"Kentaro?"
Ken Kobashi looked surprised, and didn't understand how Kentaro Izawa could react so much if it was just a cup of vanilla tea.
"Hey, Kentaro," Kohashi paused, his voice trembling directly at Izawa, "Are you...... Joto, what the hell is going on? ”
Gao Cheng looked at Jing Ze calmly: "Don't worry, I just found an identical cup, and the teacup dedicated to Miss Xingzi has been sent for poison testing." ”
Jing Ze's eyes shrank, and his face changed and he raised his head to meet Gao Cheng's gaze.
"You doubted me from the beginning?"
"When the black melon ghost door arranged a tea party, I did realize that the incident did not end with President Xiao," Gao Cheng's gaze turned to the confused Huo Xingzi, "Miss Xingzi, who has been suspected by the police, may have been designed to be the last link to end this perfect crime by committing suicide......"
"Wrapping up?"
Officer Ma-faced and the others all got up and looked at Kentaro Izawa a little speechless.
"Detective Cheng, Chenghu, is the real murderer Izawa? But he had a sufficient alibi. ”
