The food pantry was not in the villa, but in another small house behind the house, and the two of them carried umbrellas through the heavy rain, and when they arrived at the pantry, they were still almost drenched in the rain.

"Are you alright?" Chiba Koishikawa wiped the stagnation.

"It's a little wet, it doesn't matter."

Gao Cheng looked at the storage room with a flashlight and found that there were still a lot of things, and there was a refrigerator in the corner.

Seeing the woman take out the eggs from the refrigerator, he was not sure: "Can the eggs still be eaten?" ”

"Yes, there was still electricity just now, so it doesn't matter if you leave it for a while," Chiba Koishikawa said with a smile, "How about making egg drop soup?" ”

"Hmm."

Gao Cheng nodded softly and didn't say anything.

The woman only came to the villa at the end of every month, and he wanted to ask if the eggs could be eaten after a month, but the woman did not answer at all.

This is the problem of thinking, and in the subconscious cognition of women, the eggs she has only recently prepared.

In other words, Chiba Koishikawa and Takino came to the villa 3 days ago, and it was at that time that the eggs were put in the refrigerator.

The case is already quite obvious, and the remaining problem is the manuscript paper that Takino is holding in his hand on the verge of death.

Following Chiba Koishikawa back to the kitchen of the villa with an umbrella again, Gao Cheng's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he sighed and looked at the woman who was busy working like a housewife.

If only there was no murder......

"What's wrong?" Chiba Koishikawa made egg drop soup, and when she saw Gao Cheng looking at him stupidly, her face was slightly red, and she soon had a gloomy look.

For Gao Cheng, who has just graduated from high school, she is no longer young in her twenties, she is no longer the girl who just debuted in the world, and she has committed murder......

"Wake up that little girlfriend of yours," Chiba Koishikawa said with a smile, "I'll have her share in preparing for that, too." ”

"Little girlfriend? Yuanzi is my younger sister, and we are just ordinary friends. Gao Cheng explained embarrassedly.

"Really?" Chiba Koishikawa laughed happily, "I don't look like it, although I haven't been in a relationship, but it's still clear, that girl really likes you." ”

"The garden likes me?"

Gao Cheng was stunned, smiled and shook his head.

Yuanzi likes handsome guys, and it seems that a handsome guy can make Yuanzi tempted, so it's normal to like him, after all, his new face can be regarded as handsome.

However, it's one thing to like it, it's another thing to really like it.

Back in the living room, the garden was sleeping soundly, and Gao Cheng didn't wake her up, just drinking egg drop soup next to her.

"It tastes really good, Miss Chiba not only writes well, but the egg drop soup is also so delicious......"

"Nothing, I just did it." Koishikawa looked embarrassed and said.

"If you get married, you will be a good wife."

Gao Cheng finished drinking the egg flower soup, looked at the garden that was still sleeping, and his expression gradually became serious: "Miss Qianbo will turn herself in tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" The smile on Koishikawa's face froze, and he looked at Gao Cheng with some unresponsiveness.

"Miss Chiba, you've been in a relationship with Mr. Takino, and you came to the villa with him three days ago, right?" Gao Cheng looked directly at Koishikawa.

"Why do you say that all of a sudden," Koishikawa smiled dryly, "I came here last month......

"A month ago?"

"Yes."

"Did you put those eggs in the fridge a month ago?" Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "Miss Qianbo, you will be a good wife, but not a person who can lie, from the beginning to the present, there are loopholes everywhere in what you say, not only the problem of eggs, but also the idea of other aspects is different from ordinary people." ”

Chiba Koishikawa didn't refute, but he didn't admit it, but he kept smiling dryly.

"Maybe you didn't pay attention," Gao Cheng continued, "Bangkok's footprints in the first house went from the entrance to the outside of the vault, and your luggage was left in the living room, probably as soon as you arrived at the villa, you went directly to the vault to check the situation, usually the prisoner has the possibility of returning to the scene of the crime, and it is not surprising that you are anxious to confirm whether Tano died as expected." ”

"I ......"

"Also, what do you think most people would think about Mr. Takino being hit in the head?" Gao Cheng didn't want the woman to continue to quibble, "At least my idea is that the prisoner attacked Tano first and then locked him in the vault, you feel strange that the door is locked, how can Tano be beaten...... That's not wrong to think so, but don't you think it's an indirect admission that you're closing the door?

"You probably still don't understand what happened to Mr. Tamano's injury, do you? In fact, there is only one possibility, that is, he beat himself himself, I am afraid that the purpose is not to let this incident be judged as an accident. ”

Gao Cheng looked at Chiba Koishikawa, who couldn't laugh anymore: "And the manuscript paper that Mr. Takino was holding on to, it should be easy to understand if you think about it from your side." ”

Chiba Koishikawa looked at the crumpled manuscript paper and didn't understand, "Is there anything special about this?" Do you say that the prisoner is me just because it is my manuscript? ”

"Of course not, I always thought that the message Mr. Tashino left was related to the contents of the manuscript paper, but when Mr. Takino was locked up in the vault, he couldn't see anything in it, he just took a copy of it."

Gao Cheng took out the fountain pen in the hand of Tian Ye at the scene of the crime: "This is the pen at the scene, and there is ink in it, since it has nothing to do with the content on the manuscript paper, why didn't he write something himself?" He should know who locked him up, and even if he didn't know the name, he could always write something.

But in the end he didn't write anything, just opened the lid of the pen, grabbed a piece of paper in his hand, and replaced it with us as him, what would he think? The only possibility is that he knows that it is useless to write it, he knows that it must be the murderer who discovers his body first, so he didn't write anything, this is the message he left. ”

Chiba Koishikawa looked at Gao Cheng's reasoning in a daze, and swallowed involuntarily.

"There is also evidence," Gao Cheng continued, "Mr. Tano's slippers were only one at the scene, and I don't know who took one of them before the vault door closed three days ago, and he would do such a ......thing."

Gao Cheng looked at the slippers hidden in the corner of the living room by the big dog: "Manguno still likes to play pranks. ”

Chiba Koishikawa didn't expect this at all, and looked at the big dog who didn't know anything in a trembling voice: "But I can't imagine that it was bitten out today......"

"There are no footprints of Mangono in the vault."

Gao Cheng looked at the woman who kept blinking her eyes and holding back her tears, her voice softened, and she said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to come to borrow a phone at this time." ”

If it weren't for him, the police would have been more confused, and maybe the woman would have a small chance of escaping.

Chiba Koishikawa didn't look over, he didn't want Gao Cheng to see him crying, and laughed at himself: "It's true, my plan is all in vain...... Why is it like this? I'm always writing happy endings, but what is my life? ”

Gao Cheng didn't know what to say, after all, he was just an adult, and even in his previous life, he didn't have any complicated life experiences.

"Chiba-san, I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Takino, but look at you, a young girl who has no worldly affairs is being toyed with by a playboy...... That girl is Miss Chiba, right? ”

Koishikawa acquiesced and didn't respond, and said bitterly: "But I don't regret killing Tinno, I'm just ...... For that kind of man, why...... Why do I have to go with my life? ”

"How old is Miss Chiba now?"

"28-year-old ......"

"You're young, aren't you? Miss Chiba is so beautiful and a nice person, not only can she write so well, but the egg drop soup she makes is so delicious...... Miss Chiba will definitely have a happy ending in the end. Gao Cheng encouraged.

Chiba Koishikawa smiled, his eyes became more and more red, and he didn't look over his head with tears in his eyes: "Detective Joto, can I ask you for something?" ”

"What?"

"Can I go to my room and cry?"

"I'm not going to talk to anyone else."

"Thank you."

Chiba Koishikawa held back tears, chuckled and nodded, and left the living room directly.

Gao Cheng sighed and picked up the coffee table again, only to notice that the garden on the sofa had woken up at some point, and he also looked at him with red eyes.

"Why?" Yuan Zi wiped the corners of his eyes and choked up, "Even if the case is solved, why do you want to say it?" Miss Chiba is so pitiful......"

"I don't want that either, but a crime is a crime, and Miss Chibana's actions are murder after all."

Gao Cheng's expression paused slightly, and he gently patted the big dog sitting on the side: "Please go and accompany her." ”

As if he understood, the big dog immediately stood up and ran out of the living room.
