"Generally speaking, it's to destroy evidence."

"For example, burn the mechanism used to lock the window from the outside. But after looking at the scene, this possibility does not exist. ”

"Yes."

Ms. Kyoko agreed, "Because to lock the windows, you need to pull the handle up, so it is impossible to use all the mechanisms needed to make materials that can be burned. ”

Gao Yuan nodded, which was consistent with his own reasons.

"So it's unlikely that the fire was started to destroy the evidence."

Miss Konko said, and then pointed to the position where the two of them were standing now, "It seems that the location of the deceased at that time was in this window, right?" ”

The height is undeniable, for it can be seen that the ground between the window and the remains of the table is covered with human-shaped tape. And a corner of the kerosene stove stained with blood was poured next to the tape, and the wreckage of the chair was also there.

At this time, looking at the human figure posted on the tape, Gao Yuan and Miss Jinzi seemed to have some ideas, and they glanced at each other in unison, each showing a surprised look, and then looked at each other and smiled, suddenly realized.

"That's right!"

"That's exactly what happened!"

Miss Today's Son and Gao Yuan said at the same time.

"That's why we have to make a fire."

Miss Kyoko said.

"Then all that's left is the motive and evidence for the killing."

Gao Yuan said.

So, Gao Yuan and Jinzi returned to the funeral home and found Jiang Hong again.

"How? Did you find anything? ”

Jiang Hong saw the two coming back, so he walked to the side with the two and asked.

"Mr. Jiang, I would like to ask, when was the vein lock installed at the scene?"

Takato asked.

"Probably, a month ago."

Jiang Hong was a little confused, but he still replied.

"And who was the man we were talking to when we came here before?"

Takato continued to ask.

"His name is Ichiro Koike, and he is a colleague of my father."

Jiang Hong said, suddenly realized something, and said with some surprise: "Is it possible, the murderer is ......"

"If our reasoning is correct, Mr. Koike's suspicion is the greatest."

Gao Yuan said, "However, there is still a lack of evidence! ”

"I can ask the police to find the evidence! So can you tell me directly why Mr. Koike is the murderer! ”

A little excited, Jiang Hong said, and then slowed down, Jiang Hong continued to explain a little calmly:

"Actually, I probably know the reason for my father's killing, but because it involves confidentiality, I may not be able to tell you, so I will ask the police to find evidence, and the two of you can directly tell me the results of your investigation."

After translating Jiang Hong's words to Miss Kyoko, the two discussed it and agreed.

"Because of the conversation you had with Mr. Koike before, he had a fatal gaffe."

Since Miss Today does not know Chinese, the following reasoning is explained by Gao Yuan.

"At that time, Mr. Koike's words made me focus on Aunt Wang. But I don't think there's anything wrong with his words, right? ”

Jiang Hong asked.

"'The medicine is used up, but I didn't find it in time, there is also this possibility', that's the sentence."

Gao Yuan pointed out.

Jiang Hong shook his head, still not understanding.

"Recall Ms. Wang's words, she changed your father's request from tablets to sprays today, which means that before today, your father had been using pills. And if it's a pill, you'll definitely notice it when you use the last tablet. ”

Gao Yuan said, "Whether it is a bottled tablet or a plate of plastic and aluminum foil packaging, it is clear at a glance when it is used." ”

"That's true. However, this may also be unintentional? ”

Jiang Hong said.

"However, if it is a spray, it is different."

Gao Yuan said, "The spray in opaque packaging is generally used up when pressed. ”

"It's easy to see when the pills are gone, but it's harder to notice when the sprays are used, that's what it means."

Jiang Hong muttered a little.

"In other words, when Mr. Koike said the sentence 'I ran out of medicine but didn't find it in time', at least what came to his mind was not pills!"

Gao Yuan said solemnly, "But before today, your father had obviously been using pills. Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility, Mr. Koike saw your father on the day of the crime, and saw your father use sprays because of his illness! ”

"That Mr. Koike, he ......"

Jiang Hong looked at Gao Yuan in front of him in disbelief.

"You specifically asked detectives to come and investigate the cause of your father's death, which shows that you don't agree with the accident judged by the police. And his words are to lead you to think about 'accidents caused by drug problems', which is problematic no matter how you look at it. ”

Takato said, "In other words, Mr. Koike is suspected of committing a major crime. ”

"So, what about the Chamber of Secrets?"

Jiang Hong asked.

"Did you know that a charred corpse can take on the pose of a boxer?"

Gao Yuan said, Jiang Hong nodded.

"You know, I've seen my father's body."

So Gao Yuan began to explain:

Here's the order. After the killer kills someone, he locks the door from the inside, and then overturns the kerosene stove, causing a spark. Then move your father and the chair he was sitting in to the window, and escape through the window yourself, and then out of the window, reach in and let the corpse hold the handle under the window, and then close the window from the outside. ”

"No...... No way! ”

Jiang Hong was completely shocked by Gao Yuan's reasoning, and he couldn't believe it.

"Because of the fire, the muscles contracted and the elbow joint flexed, and the upward force was just enough to lift the handle up so that the window was locked. After that, the body continues to bend and eventually falls out of the chair, revealing the final scene. These are the results we have deduced from our investigation. ”

Gao Yuan explained - using the corpse of the deceased to create a secret room, what a despicable murderer.

In this regard, Jiang Hong was a little disappointed, and after paying the two of them the commission fee, Jiang Hong called the police. After the police took Mr. Koike away, the follow-up had nothing to do with the two of them, so they took their leave.

On the way back, looking at the commission fee harvested again, Gao Yuan was a little happy, so he said to Miss Today's son: "Miss Today's child, thank you for bringing me to participate in the investigation today." ”

"Ah, you're welcome."

Smiling, Miss Kyoko replied.

"By the way, as a token of appreciation, I'll treat you to dinner, it's almost dinner time anyway."

Takato proposed.

"Then, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

For Gao Yuan's invitation, Miss Kyoko accepted it very happily.

Looking at this petite woman with white hair and a pair of glasses, showing such an innocent expression, Takato seemed to be able to understand why Eisuke Hidden Pavilion had a crush on this detective who resets his memories every day.

So, Gao Yuan turned his face away as if he was shy-

Came to the vicinity of Rice Flower Town 2-chome, Takato found a Western restaurant to eat.

After the two ordered the same steak set, Gao Yuan went to the bathroom under the pretext, and when he came back, the set meal happened to come up.

"Speaking of which, Miss Kimako really doesn't remember that we met yesterday?"

During the meal, Gao Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Miss Konko stopped eating and said a little solemnly: "Mr. Wise, although I don't know if I have told you anything about my physique, but this is the first time I have explained to you now: I am Kyoko and I am a detective who forgets. My memories are reset every day, so every time I see Mr. Akechi, it's the first time I've met, and I'm sorry for any trouble I've caused. ”

"No, Miss Today, you're serious. I didn't mean that, just plain curiosity. ”

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.

At this time, the drinks ordered by the two also came up, and it seemed that in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Gao Yuan took the initiative to help Miss Kyoko take the drink from the waiter, and then said: "I'm just curious, since you reset your memories every day, where is your last memory staying?" ”

"Well, can I not answer this question?"

Miss Kyoko said.

"Absolutely."

Gao Yuan said embarrassedly, so after that, the topic of the two days shifted from today's son to the reasoning they had seen, and Gao Yuan also knew that the idol she worshiped was the famous detective mystery writer Su Yong Jibei, and Gao Yuan also shared with her the massive reasoning stories he had seen before crossing over.

Soon, dinner was finished, and he left the restaurant, and on the way back, Takato kept walking beside Miss Kyoko.

And the strange thing is that Miss Jinzi, who was walking on the road, suddenly felt a sense of sleepiness, and involuntarily fell on Gao Yuan's body, looked at the man in front of her with residual eyes, and finally showed a trace of helplessness, and then fell asleep completely.

Supporting Miss Today, looking at her lovely sleeping face, Gao Yuan said silently in his heart - I'm sorry, Miss Today's child.
