Chapter 980: The Evil Spirit Retreats
Conan looked at Gao Cheng when he heard this.
Yes, if the subtitle is only known to the producer Harawaki, the message on the phone must be a suicide note.
Could it be that the murderer wrote it casually?
"The suicide note is indeed a problem," Gao Cheng did not deny it, and took out the thick paper envelope with the name of the subtitle and looked at it, "If the murderer did not know in advance or knew from Harawaki's mouth, it was only through this letter ......"
"That's right," the glasses girl didn't want to believe that Kawabata was the murderer, and hurriedly said, "There is nothing wrong with this letter, if the murderer doesn't know the subtitle written in it, how can he write it when he forges a suicide note?" That way, as soon as the police open the envelope, they will be exposed, right? ”
"So the murderer knows what's inside," Gao Cheng said softly, "I was thinking at first, could it be that the murderer prepared another thick paper letter to replace, but in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, you can directly see the handwriting in the envelope." ”
"Huh?"
Conan didn't react, and Doudou looked at Gao Cheng.
What do you think? There are no traces of broken or wet opening, and the envelope is opaque......
"For private investigators, this is a trick," Takasei said as he turned to Kawabata Riya, "Miss Kawabata, who often appears in suspense dramas, has probably heard that the reason why the handwriting inside the envelope is not visible under the light is because of the white reflection, and it is enough to see the contents of the envelope with just a roll of paper here." ”
As he spoke, Gao Cheng took a toilet paper tube and put it on the envelope, looked at the light with one eye from the middle of the paper tube, and vaguely saw the black calligraphy inside it.
"Funeral Column for the Dead".
It is the same title as mentioned in the suicide note.
"You can really see it," the glasses woman knotted her tongue, "but, what about Harawaki's corpse?" Hasn't this cabinet been inspected? ”
"Didn't you think the cabinet was extra heavy when you moved it just now? Obviously, there is only one coat in the wardrobe. ”
Gao Cheng didn't talk nonsense, he directly pulled out the two drawers below, and after removing them, he took out the middle partition and pulled out a small cart holding Harawaki's corpse from the innermost.
The middle drawer divider is cut out of a hole large enough to accommodate the body, and the legs are curled up in the lower layer, and the upper body is lying on the upper level, and the drawer cannot be found without completely pulling out the drawer.
Normally, it would not be thought that someone is hiding in such a place, that is, the blind spot of the mind, one of the common tricks of magic.
For Gao Cheng, even if he doesn't feel a slight abnormality, he can find it.
Because he has both a trick from Misui Yoshiemon, and he is also quite good at magic cracking, thanks to Kidd and a certain magic criminal.
"W-How?!" Ria Kawabata looked at Gao Cheng without hesitation in amazement.
When I was looking for the body just now, I obviously didn't check the drawer carefully......
"The person who designed this mechanism should have been eight years ago, right?" Gao Cheng looked at the remains of Harawaki who maintained the posture of sitting under the soil and said, "As a result, when I moved the wardrobe, the drawer was against the wall and could not be opened from the inside, and finally starved to death inside, and finally maintained this position, and when I was helped up, it was like sitting on the ground with my legs curled up." ”
Gao Cheng looked directly at Ria Kawabata.
"You were the first to enter this room 8 years ago, and you found the body of Nato Joji in the cupboard, and then moved him out, just in the gap before you screamed.
Obviously, you knew about this mechanism 8 years ago, and this time you hid Mr. Harawaki in the cabinet, and when you were looking for someone just now, you asked Conan to help find the body under the bed, because Conan is small, and he may see the corpse in the drawer through the gap. ”
Gao Cheng closed his eyes.
"Actually, speaking of which, you and Ninomiya were monitoring outside, and you didn't go into the room to find someone, and it wasn't you who moved the cabinet, so it can be said that the death of Uchito Chengji was an accident, I don't know why you killed Harawaki, but ......
"If you have the next goal, there must be something else."
Gao Cheng glanced around and asked the photographer's aunt: "Even if you haven't watched the movie video of the year, you have at least participated in it, but only the aunt ...... Only Kyoko-san thinks that Harawaki's suicide video is similar to the movie, which means that Kyoko-sama has filmed similar clips? ”
"Huh?" Photographer Kyoko was stunned, "In this way, I have filmed, but as an actor, the minister said that he would use a mobile phone video to film me being attacked by Harawaki who turned into a zombie......"
Speaking of this, Kyoko's face suddenly turned pale.
"Difficult, am I the next target?"
If the killer hid Harawaki's body in order to create the illusion of "resurrection", the video footage of her being bitten to death by the zombie Harawaki can also be used.
"Probably," Gao Cheng was not surprised, and continued to look at Kawabata Riadao, "If you want to confirm, you only need to look at Miss Kawabata's tablet, there should still be the corresponding video stored in it,"
Aria Kawabata stood silently beside the bed, tense and gradually lowering her head.
"I was also shocked, I thought that the minister had escaped from the closet and was sleeping on the bed, but I didn't expect him to be in the cabinet, and the drawers were against the wall, so I could only pull him out in a panic and sit down before shouting......"
"It was an accident," the woman bespoke puzzled, "if you really want to say that we killed the minister, didn't you have a cold at that time and have been lying at home?" ”
"But Harawaki doesn't think so," Kawabata Riea shook her head, "Last time he was filming, he saw the blood book left by the minister in the closet, and cursed my blood book...... This time I promised him to appear in this movie, and I was also threatened by him......"
"What about Kyoko?" The glasses woman looks at her confessed friend in pain.
"Because Kyoko found out about the problem with the video, just like Detective Joto said, after all, she also made a similar video back then," Ria Kawabata laughed at herself, "I obviously played a female warrior who fights zombies, and the result is ...... Maybe I've really been cursed by the minister. ”
"When you came back here eight years ago, you must have realized that something might have happened to the minister who hadn't shown up for a few days, right?"
Gao Cheng said calmly.
That's why he took the initiative to be the first to rush to this room, and after discovering the minister's body, he didn't tell the truth as soon as he found it, but pulled the body out and faked the scene...... Was it really done in a panic? Generally speaking, it seems to be the actions of people with ghosts. ”
It is difficult to know the specific truth 8 years ago, why did Uchito Joji let Kawabata Li Adamato, and why the people who were entrusted did not enter the room but stayed outside.
Is it true that Harawaki only knows the secret of the wardrobe mechanism now, or is it a coincidence that Ria Kawabata had a bad cold 8 years ago and Harawaki was drunk for 3 days......
Haragaki was killed, and I'm afraid that only Riya Kawabata knows the inside story.
Anyway, there is no doubt that Kawabata Riya is the murderer in this case, it is enough, the case is clear, even if it is the Gunma Prefecture police, that stupid mountain village will not be unable to find evidence.
……
Outside the entrance of the villa, the mountain village who came with his subordinates excitedly pushed open the door: "Everyone who is trapped by zombies, you have been waiting for a long time!" As long as I'm here, I'll be safe and sound......"
"Mountain Village Police Department!" The police officer shouted in horror when he saw the scene inside the house, "It's full of zombies!" ”
"Are you alright?! Police Department! ”
"The evil spirits are scattered!"
