Chapter 102: Is It Possible That There Is an Eighth Man?

The seven deadly sins belong to the classification of human evil deeds in Catholic teachings, and in order of severity of evil deeds, they are lust, gluttony, greed, laziness, anger, envy, and arrogance.

If you substitute the seven deadly sins into this serial murder, you can understand why the murderer arranged the scene like that.

Kanami Konno, the first victim, died using a chocolate cake containing arsenic trioxide, and a large amount of chocolate was scattered at the scene, which means that the murderer wanted to convey the meaning that she died because of gluttony.

The second victim, Rose Akiyama, was strangled to death by a red men's tie, and the killer deliberately stripped her upper body of clothes, and also changed her lower body into men's underwear, in order to express that she died because of SE desire.

Although it is absurd for the murderer to use the seven deadly sins to complete his serial murder, at this stage, it is only possible to use the seven deadly sins to explain these strange suspicions. It's just that Ritsu Sasashima and the others are confused that there are only seven suspects in total, and two have died so far, is the murderer planning to commit suicide after killing everyone?

Or did he set himself up as Satan, believing that he had the power to rule the world, and that the abuse of power represented the sin of arrogance.

Conan raised his little head and said with a tense little face after hearing everyone's analysis: "Brother Onizawa, I think we have to stop the murderer's behavior immediately, since we can't find the murderer's flaws now, let's get together so that he can't do it, so that he can take the initiative to show it." ”

Ritsu Sasashima nodded in agreement with Conan's decision, or rather, there was only one way they could do at this stage, and he couldn't help but wonder about the criminal, what kind of person could complete such a perfect crime?

He vaguely felt that Kanami Konno was not the first time he had killed someone, and he might have other lives on his hands.

"Oni, Mr. Onizawa."

Ritsu Sasashima turned around when he heard someone calling him, and when he saw Kosuke Nishiyama's expression of wanting to say something, he might have made his expression look friendly, and said in a soothing tone, "Mr. Nishiyama, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

"Actually, I just wanted to say that Butler Ishida didn't seem to be there."

Hearing Kosuke Nishiyama's words, everyone was stunned, they looked at each of them, and there was indeed no figure of the housekeeper Ishida Shigeru, and Nao Akiyama, who was standing by the window, pointed out the window and exclaimed, "Oh my God! What's going on over there? Is it on fire?! ”

Ritsu Sasashima quickly leaned behind him, and sure enough, he saw a fire in the dark night, and after realizing that something was wrong, he quickly ran towards the staircase, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart - the murderer may have committed the third crime!

"Damn, why didn't you talk about it earlier at this time!" Hattori Heiji saved people's hearts and rushed straight to the staircase, using his excellent sports cells to jump down directly, even if the soles of his feet were numb, he didn't stop his pace and continued to use this method to quickly go downstairs.

At this time, Conan was very puzzled with his short legs, but fortunately, Detective White took the initiative to suggest that they stay where they were to protect the rest of the people, if they were running around to create opportunities for the murderer hiding in the shadows, they would really achieve a bunch of detectives working in vain.

At this time, it was still drizzling outside the villa, and Ritsu Sasashima kept speeding up his pace and ran closer to the boarding position, and he didn't care about the mud splashing on his trouser leg, he still held on to a glimmer of hope that Mr. Ishida hadn't died.

However, when he arrived at the scene, the rising smoke and the smell of gasoline told him that it was impossible.

There will be no miracle, Mr. Ishida has died in the fire - the third prey of the murderer.

"Damn! Hattori! Quickly put out the fire, and be sure to check it carefully so that you don't miss a single clue!! ”

Ritsu Sasashima reached out to wipe the rain from his face, he hadn't fully exposed his emotions for a long time, but when something like this happened, he wondered if he couldn't be a good cop to protect the public, and the murderer failed to catch the crime under his nose again and again, and he spontaneously felt frustration and powerlessness that couldn't save his life.

After the fire was extinguished, all that remained was a charred corpse, and the killer was supposed to pour a large amount of steam on the small boat, and huddle Shigeru Ishida in a binding manner. However, in the process of examining the body, Ritsu Sasashima found that the fatal wound was in the head, which means that Ishida's butler had passed away during the burning process.

No wonder there was no struggle, and he sighed when he thought of this, at least he was not burned alive, minus a lot of pain.

"Look here, and it seems that our reasoning about the seven deadly sins is correct."

Koshisui Nanatsuki squatted on the ground and pulled open the freshly filled land with his hands, and the thing buried in the soil was the gardening scissors, which were stained with blood stains that were still bright red, indicating that the time of Shigeru Ishida's death was similar to that of Akiyama Rose, the victim of the second eucalyptus.

But this makes Sashima Ritsu and others worried, if the two died at a similar time, who would the murderer be? You must know that everyone is outside the bedroom door of Akiyama Rose, is there a character on this island that everyone doesn't know about?

"There are still half of the brooms in the water, so it seems that the corresponding seven deadly sins should be laziness, right? Only this one is more consistent. Hattori Heiji said his reasoning, after all, gardening scissors and a broom, all you can think of is cleaning, which is also part of the housekeeper's responsibility, maybe the murderer is alluding to the time when the Ishida housekeeper is lazy and doesn't work.

Ritsu Sasashima put his hand on the side of his left leg where the dagger was hidden, he vaguely felt that there was an observation line of sight, he faced the sea as much as possible to make sure that the person hiding in the dark could not see the shape of his mouth, and lowered his voice and whispered: "It seems that there is an eighth person on this island that we don't know about, and he may be the last one to survive." ”

"The eighth? But the island is so big, don't they know about the existence of the Eighth Man? Nanatsuki frowned in confusion, there was an outsider living in the same space as them, would they not be aware of it?

Ritsu Sasashima held his chin and thought about it, but the person who can complete a series of operations at this stage can only be the eighth person who has not yet appeared, but what Yue Shui said is also very reasonable, and it is outrageous to get along for such a long time without finding out.

"Onizawa, do you think there is a possibility?"

Hattori Heiji looked at Onizawa Chong's face after his disguise, and he suddenly thought, "Is it possible that this eighth person looks exactly like one of them?" One of the remaining people was an accomplice to the eighth, and two of the murderers were responsible. ”

“?”

Ritsu Sasashima subconsciously groped for his left index finger, and Hattori's reasoning could indeed solve all the doubts of the first one, and it also made sense why everyone present was right-handed, and the murderer who strangled Mrs. Akiyama was left-handed.

As if realizing something, he hurriedly said: "Hurry back, I'm afraid the murderer wants to die with them!" ”
