Chapter 54: Revenge and Crime Are Only a Thin Line

After returning to the living room, Gao Cheng didn't show anything unusual, yawned and said that he would also go to the second floor to rest.

"Why is he like this?" Gojo Shu watched Gao Cheng leave, his face was indignant, "I thought he might find the murderer...... Sure enough, what the newspaper said was not very credible, if only it was a Maori detective......"

"Don't say that," Takashi Izae explained, "it's not easy for Detective Joto, he's been put on sleeping pills and almost drowned." ”

"Even then, there's no need to keep us here waiting, right?" Gojo Shu's heart was a little unbalanced, "And isn't it more dangerous to sleep alone on the second floor?" ”

Gao Cheng didn't listen to the complaints in the living room, and after choosing a room on the second floor, he quietly followed Rokuta and Mifune on the second floor back to the bathroom corridor on the first floor and hid in the toilet opposite the bathroom.

In fact, the ones who were in charge of rummaging through the first floor before were Takashi Ichieda and Osamu Gojo, and the murderer is very likely to be among the two, even if he is monitored in the living room, but if he stays in the living room all the time, it will undoubtedly keep the murderer vigilant.

Time passed little by little, and soon the time of the death of Reika Shitsui in the murderer's plan passed, and there was movement upstairs in the middle, but no one came to the bathroom.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the TV in the living room had already started to play the morning news, and there was still no car outside the villa.

Granny Mi yawned and walked out of the living room.

"Aunt Mi, where are you going?" Takashi Ichieda wondered.

"Go to the toilet ......"

"I'll go too!"

"I'll go too."

Takashi Ichieda and Osamu Gojo hurriedly followed Granny Mi.

The bathroom was near the kitchen, just across the corridor from the bathroom, and Gao Cheng quickly heard the movement.

Sure enough, someone rushed to the bathroom.

In the dim light, Gao Cheng only saw a figure, the other party looked left and right for a while, quickly rushed into the bathroom, took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves, and reached out to open the lid of the bathtub.

"You seem to be very confident," Gao Cheng followed into the bathroom, and tapped the handle of the Toyako knife to look at the figure that had paused inside, "Mr. Ichise-eda." ”

"What?" Ichieda turned his head in horror and saw Gao Cheng standing at the door of the bathroom, and said with a dry smile in a cold sweat, "What are you talking about, Detective Joto ......"

"Do you want me to be clear, the murderer of this murder, Mr. Kazueda?"

Gao Cheng looked directly at Yizhi Taka: "First I hid Miss Lihua in the bathtub to prepare, and then I took the opportunity to go to the forest to find Miss Lihua, and called Nikaido to the fountain and drowned him...... After that, he put sleeping pills in his coffee and planned to do the same trick on me, do you still want to deny it? ”

"No kidding, Detective Joto," Takashi Izae said, pointing to himself, "Do I look like a murderer?" Besides, I have no enmity with you, so why should I kill you? And ......"

"And what are you going to do in this bathroom?" Gao Cheng interrupted with a chuckle, "Isn't it for Miss Lihua?" ”

"Why, how come, I just wanted to come over and take a shower, I didn't know that Miss Lihua's body was inside!"

"Ahh

"Because, because," a cold sweat flowed, "didn't you just say that?" ”

"I just said Miss Lihua was hidden in the bathtub by you." Gao Cheng said coldly, "Mr. Yizhi, are you still quibbling until now?" ”

Ichieda said innocently: "That, I just guessed, Nikaido was drowned, and you were also forcibly pressed into the water by the murderer, so I think the eldest lady may be the same......"

"What's going on?" Hearing the movement, Rokuta and Mifune ran downstairs and gathered around the bathroom door in confusion.

"Detective boy," Mifune disgruntled, "why are you yelling early in the morning?" ”

"I seem to hear what's wrong with Miss Lihua, have you found the eldest lady?" Osamu Gojo and Granny Mi also followed.

Yizhi Long was watched by everyone, and became a little more nervous, and said to Gao Cheng with a dry smile: "And the coffee that Granny Mi served before, everyone took a cup to drink, and I didn't know who would take which cup, so I wouldn't take sleeping pills in advance...... Someone must be blaming me......"

"Yes," Gojo Shu couldn't figure out the situation, and helped to speak: "Detective Chengto, it shouldn't be us who took sleeping pills, if you drink it yourself, it will be miserable?" ”

"There are too many ways to avoid drinking it yourself," Gao Cheng looked at Yizhi and smiled, "You can do something while taking the medicine, as long as you don't let yourself drink that cup of coffee, and it's still a question of whether you drank the coffee at that time." ”

"But how do you get that cup of coffee? You took it casually at the time......"

"There's no need for me to drink it, because it doesn't matter who it is, whoever drinks that cup of coffee will be like me, and the purpose of the prisoner is not even to kill someone, just to get a confession, or to be forced into the water by the murderer to put his head into the water......"

Gao Cheng's voice increased: "I'm right, Mr. Yizhi?" Do you want people to think that the method used to kill Miss Lihua is the same as before?! ”

"A branch?"

Everyone didn't know why, and they were surprised: "What's going on?" Is a branch a prisoner? ”

"A branch of your ......"

"What, haha, why do you say that I really look like a murderer," Ichiza Takashi said with a stiff smile, "Okay, even if I did a good job, did you see me commit the crime?" I just wanted to get a shower here......"

As he spoke, he became confident again, and said proudly to Gao Cheng: "I don't even have a piece of evidence, can I assert that the murderer is me just by imagination?" ”

Gao Cheng was silent for a while, feeling that there was nothing to say about this case, he turned around and walked out of the bathroom and stood in the corridor: "Didn't I just say it?" Mr. Kazueda, why do you think Miss Reika is dead? ”

"Huh?" Yizhi looked at the back of Gao Cheng leaving, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly opened the bathtub cover.

Perhaps it was because the effect of sleeping pills had waned, and Reika Shitsui had been woken up, and she continued to struggle after seeing a branch, and her mouth was sealed with duct tape and whined one after another.

"How so?" Yizhi Ryu's expression trembled, gritted his teeth, and suddenly grabbed Shijing Lihua's neck desperately.

"One branch!"

"Stop!"

Liutian and several people hurriedly pulled away Yizhilong to save the frightened Shijing Lihua, and the water stains splashed on the ground, and it was not easy to subdue Yizhilong.

"Let go of me!" Takashi Ichieda looked at Reika Shijing with a cannibalistic look, "I'm going to kill this slut!" ”

"Yizhi, are you crazy?" Liutian stubbornly suppressed Yizhi Takashi and scolded, "You calm down for me!" ”

"They killed Yaeko!" Takashi Ichieda couldn't break free, and suddenly looked at Reika Shitsui who was carried out of the bathtub and cried, "She and Nikaido killed the life-saving benefactor Yaeko!" ”

"What are you talking about, Yizhi?!"

"That day, Yaeko went to the island in a rubber boat despite our dissuasion in order to save this eldest lady," Takashi Ichieda said in tears of pain, "She was wearing a life jacket, and she brought an extra one for the eldest lady, who knew that the guy from Nikaido was actually there, but there were only two life jackets......"

"W-so...... Could it be ......" everyone's expressions sank, and they all opened to the frightened Shijing Lihua.

"That's right!" Takashi Izae said resentfully, "They were rescued because they snatched Yaeko's life jacket!" I felt that something was wrong at the time, and when I found Yaeko's body, it was clear that her life jacket was missing, but these two guys actually said that they didn't see Yaeko! ”

In the heavy eyes of everyone, Yizhi Taka laughed miserably: "I'm here this time to investigate the truth, do you know what she said?" She actually said that Yaeko's death was deserved! Yaeko is my most cherished person, and the person who killed her has only one way to die! Whether it's Nikaido or this woman......"

"Although the righteous knight killed the demon, he was also baptized by the blood of evil," Gao Cheng's calm but powerful voice sounded outside the bathroom, "Anyway, you are a murderer, and you are no longer a simple revenge......

The voice echoed through the hallway bathroom, striking heavily on a branch's heart.

"Demons?"

Yizhi was shocked and fell silently, with bitterness on his face: "Maybe, I underestimated the legendary detective too much, and thought it was just a hairy boy...... I'm sorry about what happened before, Detective Joto...... If I had entrusted you with it from the beginning, it might not have happened. ”

At noon, the police arrived at the villa, and after some on-site verification, they brought Takashi Ichieda with Reika Shijing.

Gao Cheng finished inflating the bicycle with the tires repaired, and as he was leaving, Officer Twilight passed by with Takashi Ichieda and Reika Shitsui.

Sijing Lihua has eased up after half a day, and after seeing Gao Cheng, she hurriedly smiled: "Thank you so much this time, I will ask my father to remit the thank you fee." ”

"No need," Gao Cheng indifferently got on his bicycle, "I did save you, but that is just to stop the crime, it doesn't mean that your crime can be forgiven, you better think about how to face Granny Mi." ”

Sijing Lihua was stunned, and when she turned around and saw Granny Mi who was silently sad at the door of the villa, her figure paused, lowered her head and silently followed her into the police car.

"Then give the 10 million to my mother-in-law......"

"One, ten million?" Gao Cheng's face froze, and he watched the police car leave and disappear into view, and after reacting, he hurriedly rubbed his bicycle and chased after him.

"Hey, Miss! Can you talk about that again?! ”

"Wait!"

"However," Gojo Shumu sent Gao Cheng alone to ride away, and sighed, "I didn't expect the Detective Chenghu to solve the case quietly, and I really didn't see that he would be so powerful when I first met him." ”

Gojo Xiu's mind came to mind again, and at the beginning of the banquet, Gao Cheng looked like he had never seen the world.

"Haha," Rokuta laughed next to him, "You don't understand this, powerful eagles will hide their claws, he is just used to letting up the vigilance of others, which is also a common strategy used by detectives." ”

Gojo Shu suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I pretended to drink sugar water before to let Ichiji relax his vigilance, so I found Miss Lihua at that time...... He is worthy of being a detective. ”

"Hmph," Mifune said with a natural smile, "I don't even care about ten million, can it be an ordinary detective?" ”
