Chapter 650: Worse Than Death
In the study, Oping Jiaozang's eyes were widened, and his sweaty face had a look of despair.
The old man sat facing the door of the room facing the book, but he had a rope hanging from the chandelier around his neck, and he was holding a large vase with his hands behind his back.
There were also books lined up vertically from the wheels of the cart to the door, the last of which was a large open book against the door.
The old man's white eyebrows were dripping with sweat, and the hands that grabbed the vase kept trembling, and the whole palm was wet with sweat.
Death turned out to be such a terrible thing.
"You're not going to succeed ......"
The old man gritted his teeth and stared at the door, his body balancing and not daring to move.
Because if he loses his balance and the pile of books falls, he will be hung up directly, and he will definitely die at that time......
But even if it is held up like this, it won't last long, as long as someone pushes the door open, the result will be the same, and that hateful guy should be waiting outside.
There is no time left......
He couldn't even let go, as soon as the vase broke, someone would come over immediately, and the rope loop joints were glued again, and he didn't have time to untie it before the guy pushed the door.
That guy did it on purpose, he was dead anyway, and he couldn't ask for help......
Feeling that the strength in his hand was gradually fading, he couldn't grasp the vase, and the old man bit his lip fiercely, and his breathing was so short that the blood dripped on the book under his feet.
That's one of the left text series of the new name Xiang Baoli, "The Murderer from Yellow Springs", and the old man only paid attention to the real left text detective after reading this book, and he is also a famous Gao Cheng recently.
"Da-da."
The word "Yellow Spring" on the cover gradually stained red with drops of blood, leaving two horizontal ...... in the blank space below.
"Hehe," the old man's face was both frightened and with the pleasure of revenge, "the city detective will definitely help me avenge ......"
"Bang ——!" Suddenly, a loud cracking sound spread in Oping's house, like thunder in the rain, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Yongzi was surprised, "This voice ......"
"It's from the master's study, it can't be the vase that the master has always precioused, right?"
"I'll take a look!" The paralyzed-faced maid took the initiative to leave.
"Study?" Gao Cheng remembered the scene of the study during the conversation, and there was indeed a decorative vase in it.
Seeing the maid hurrying to the study, Gao Cheng hurriedly stepped to follow.
"Sir!"
"Master, what's going on?"
Outside the study, the maid and the housekeeper knocked on the door, and when there was no response, the maid reached for the doorknob again, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand from behind.
"What for?" The maid tried hard but didn't break free, and when she turned around, she found that it was Gao Cheng who stopped her.
"That's it, don't move anymore."
Gao Cheng ignored the maid's brute force struggle, and directly stopped the maid and the housekeeper behind.
"No one is allowed to come near here now......"
"Is it a Joto detective? Don't open the door! Don't open the door!! In the study, Ao Pingjiaozang grabbed the rope ring around his neck with both hands, and when he heard Gao Cheng's voice, his whole face was suddenly covered with tears, and he cried like a child.
"The only one I can trust is you, Detective Joto! Woohoo......"
……
The sky in Tokyo was overcast and it was raining all afternoon.
Under the curious gaze of passers-by with umbrellas, several police cars stopped in front of Okuhira's house, and Twilight and Takagi walked into the house quickly against the rain.
Oping Jiaozang has been rescued by firefighters, and when he walked out of the study, he still held on to Gao Cheng.
When I'm old, even my family can't believe it, it's really embarrassing.
Gao Cheng watched the old man who had completely lost his previous majesty and was put into the ambulance, and turned his gaze to the maid who was controlled by the police.
According to the old man's testimony, it was this maid who committed this attempted murder, but despite the incident, the maid's round fat face still had no expression, and the image of the fat aunt itself did not look like a murderer.
"Mrs. Tabata......" Mrs. Eiko still looked at the silent maid in disbelief.
How cold-blooded and cruel is it to set up such a mechanism in the study?
If it hadn't been stopped in the end, the old man would have died unjustly like this......
Just looking at it, you can feel the mental torture that the old man suffered before he was rescued.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Gao Cheng, who was checking the scene with Twilight.
"Detective Castle, how do you know you can't open the door?"
"I'm just guessing, so I should be cautious......
Gao Cheng picked up the blood-stained book.
"The Murderer from the Twilight", he also has this book there, and it is still a model book sent by the university hall.
"In the case of the tragic death of Young Master Tsugo a year ago, although there is no evidence, there are still suspicions pointing to Mrs. Tabata."
"Is it because Mrs. Tabata was the first to discover the young master?" The housekeeper was stunned, "But in the past, Mrs. Tabata cleaned the pool......
"That's the problem, if it's not an outsider who committed the crime, it means that someone used some tricks to create an alibi......"
Gao Cheng explained to Officer Dusk, who had the same doubts as everyone: "On the day of the incident, everyone had an alibi, and they were all together, so if you want to do something, you can only start from the side of Young Master Forging and use some method to delay the time of Young Master Forging Wu's death, so of course it is necessary to act as the first discoverer and avoid leaving a horse foot ......"
"Delayed time to die?" Everyone looked thoughtful.
"To be precise, it should be set to the time of death, and deliberately let Young Master Tsuji be killed during the time when everyone was watching the video, Mrs. Tabata probably knew in advance that the video would take 5 hours, that is, from 7 o'clock to 12 o'clock in the evening, such a long time, how can it be enough."
Twilight looked at Gao Cheng stunned: "I also know about the incident a year ago, and the time of death was judged to be between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening...... But how do you delay death? ”
"It's easy......"
Gao Cheng smiled: "Didn't Mrs. Tabata use a similar technique against Mr. Opei this time?" ”
"The vase?" Twilight exclaimed.
"Mrs. Tabata had prepared coffee beforehand, and when Mr. Okuhei said she wanted to drink coffee, she actually brought it and added sleeping pills to it......
Gao Cheng looked at the silent maid Tian Duan.
Then he set up the scene, woke up Mr. Aoping and asked him to grab the vase with his backhand, and probably even threatened Mr. Aoping......
"After the technique was completed, Mrs. Tabata went out to buy it under the pretext that there was no milk to make coffee, and if someone went to the study at this time, Mr. Oupai would be killed directly, but Mrs. Eiko didn't want to go to the study at all, and Mr. Butler was also worried about maintaining the garage car, and I didn't know if these were not expected by Mrs. Tabata, but ......"
Gao Cheng looked at the maid who looked like an honest aunt again.
"Anyway, Mrs. Tabata's alibi is here, and if I really pushed the door and rushed in just now, I could still take advantage of the chaos to destroy the scene and make Mr. Okuping look more like a suicide......"
Twilight followed and looked at the maid, even though she had seen a lot of murders, she still felt a little scary: "I ...... a year ago"
"I also thought of it after I went down to the bottom of the pool and found the waterline," Gao Cheng explained, "The position of the waterline is not high or low, if Young Master Forging Wu stands on tiptoe, he should be able to expose his nose to the water, and at the last moment, Young Master Forging Wu probably supported it like this for more than 2 hours, until he had no strength......
"When the body is out of strength, the muscles will become very heavy, and it is impossible to float, and there is basically no possibility of survival......
"It's so cruel...... "Hondo Eisuke's eyes shrank.
If you think about it, you can know the victim's final despair, how can you not survive 5 hours, wait until the family finishes watching the video, right?
His hands and feet were tied, his mouth was also taped, and he could only stand on tiptoe to expose his nose to the water, waiting for the slim chance of life, and he struggled in pain until death......
It's so cruel that it makes people's waists chill, and this kind of thing is actually done by a maid who looks like a wooden one.
