Back at Kyoto's Taimaki Photography Office, Takato came to the place where he first met Sakuraba Reiichi, Sugita Fumiko and Hayashihara Momoka, and when he walked into the room, Takato found that Sugita Fumiko was already here, and seemed to be looking for something.
"Miss Sugida, what are you looking for?"
Gao Yuan stepped forward and asked.
"Ahh
Fumiko Sugida was a little surprised by Takato's appearance, and then said, "No, it's nothing. ”
"Is it a threatening letter?"
Takato asked directly, after all, he recalled that he had just arrived here, and he heard the conversation between Sakuraba Reiichi and Sugita Fumiko, and felt that Sakuraba Reichi seemed to be threatened by something.
"You...... I've heard it. ”
Fumiko Sugida didn't hide it anymore, and took out a piece of paper that had just been found from the ground and was crumpled up.
Unfolded the paper ball, only to see the sentence composed of words subtracted from the magazine pasted on the paper: Sakuraba, I'm going to kill you.
Looking at this threatening letter, suddenly a siren sounded outside the house.
Gao Yuan didn't say much, went out to take a look, only to see only a police car coming, and out of the car was an old policeman in plain clothes, it seemed that because it was not a murder case, the police just came to investigate it routinely.
"I'm Kyoto Prefectural Police Inuigen Ichi, did you report that there was an explosion?"
When he came to the scene, Officer Inukai saw Gao Yuan, who had just come out, and showed his police ID card and asked, "Can you take me to see the scene?" ”
"Absolutely."
Gao Yuan nodded in response.
But at this time, Fumiko Sugita walked out and stopped Officer Inukai.
"Is it Mr. Officer? I have something to say to you. ”
Inugenuto nodded.
At this time, there were no outsiders here except for Takato, Inukai Genichi and Sugita Fumiko, so Sugita Fumiko showed the threatening letter to Officer Inukai Genichi.
"Mr. Sakuraba received a threatening letter?"
Slightly surprised, Inukai Genichi said, and then asked Fumiko Sugita, "Does Sakuraba-san have any thoughts on this?" ”
After thinking for a moment, Fumiko Sugita said, "He used to be an action actor who was not popular. Later, I met Momoka at the shooting site...... After that, Momoka introduced him to many producers, and he took on more and more scenes. ”
"Oh."
Inukai Genichi sighed: "I became a popular actor by relying on my girlfriend's relationship, and many people must be jealous of him!" ”
"Please don't say that!"
Fumiko Sugita said, "He's been working hard himself...... Now, however, his face is wounded. ”
"That'...... I would like to ask, what is your relationship with Mr. Sakuraba? ”
Seeing that Fumiko Sugida was defending Sakuraba Reiichi, Officer Inukai Genichi couldn't help but ask.
"He and I are just colleagues in the group."
Fumiko Sugita said, "I'm just a little worried about the intimidation letter. ”
"That's right."
Seeing that the other party said this, Inukai Genichi did not continue to ask.
However, Gao Yuan on the side was very sure that the other party was not telling the truth, after all, he had seen them kissing before.
"Please keep an eye on him so that he doesn't run into any more danger."
Fumiko Sugida pleaded with Inukaigen, and when Inukaigen nodded and agreed, Fumiko Sugida left.
"Could it be an attempted murder?"
Inukai Yuan muttered to himself, and then suddenly noticed Gao Yuan, who had been standing on the side, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I forgot you." You are ......"
"Wise and ambitious, I'm here today to visit my friends who are acting in this crew, and my friend is also a victim of today's bombing. I was also at the scene when the explosion happened. ”
Gao Yuan explained.
"Oh, that's right."
Inukai Genichi said, "Then you can take me to the scene of the explosion." ”
So, Gao Yuan took Officer Inukai to the scene where the explosion occurred.
"There were no traces of gas leaks or explosives at the scene."
After a cursory look at the Japanese room where the explosion occurred, Inukai Genichi couldn't help but say, and then asked as if asking for verification from a high distance, "How did the explosion cause it?" ”
"It's a dust explosion."
"At the time of the explosion, fine dust flew at the scene. ”
"Yes...... That's right. ”
It seemed that after carefully recalling the explanation of the term "dust explosion" for a long time in his mind, Inukai replied.
At this time, Gao Yuan had already leaned down, looked at the powder that was still left on the ground, and dipped some powder with the silk scarf he was carrying, and sniffed it lightly.
"It's flour."
Gao Yuan concluded.
Apparently the prisoner knew that the model knife had a spark device and had to fight in the dust of the room, so he replaced the dust at the scene with a flammable powder called flour.
When you think of the threatening letter, I'm afraid that the target of the prisoner is likely to be Mr. Sakuraba.
"Well, sure enough, this is not a simple accident, it is an attempted murder."
At this time, Officer Inukai came to such a conclusion through thinking, so he did not continue to ignore Takato, and Inukai Gen began to visit the rest of the people at the scene, and asked the testimony of the director, actors, and staff who were at the scene at the time.
Soon, Inukai Yuanyi came to a conclusion:
"There's no mistake, the murderer is Momoka!"
"Huh?"
The director who is talking to Genichi Inukai? Yoshihiro Moto was very surprised that the police came to such a conclusion, "Officer, the murderer you said is ......"
"There is no mistake, this explosion was a deliberate murder. Where is Momoka Hayashihara now? ”
Inukai asked the director.
"That, because I knew that Momoka was going to boycott, so I asked the assistant director to talk to her just now, after all, if she doesn't act, this drama won't be filmed."
Yoshihiro Moto said.
"Okay, let's go straight to her now!"
Inukai Genichi said.
Thereupon? Yoshihiro took Inukai Genichi to Momoka Hayashihara's residence, which was an independent classical cottage in the backyard, and Takato followed curiously.
"Open the door, please! Miss Momoka! ”
As soon as they came to the backyard, everyone saw the assistant director Taiki Tanaka knocking on the door of the house with Momoka Hayashihara's name on it, and shouting loudly in a pleading tone, hoping that the other party would open the door.
"Hey! What's wrong? ”
Inukai Genichi stepped forward and asked, "I'm Inukai from the Kyoto Prefectural Police." ”
"You haven't been knocking on the door just now, and you haven't even seen Momoka's face!"
Director? Yoshihiro asked in surprise.
Seeing everyone coming, Tanaka Taiki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Momoka hid inside and refused to come out. ”
As he spoke, he was still panting, and it seemed that he had been shouting and knocking on the door since just now, and it was very difficult.
"Is this the lounge?"
Inukai asked Genichi.
"Yes."
Taiki Tanaka said.
"Oh, it doesn't matter."
Inukai asked Genichi, "Is she really in there?" ”
"Yes, this room was bolted from the inside, and there must be someone in it now, and the only entrance is here."
Taiki Tanaka said.
"It's not good if you get sick inside."
As soon as Inukai Yuan said, he stepped forward and tried to push the door, but found that the door really couldn't be opened, and it should have been hung with a latch inside. He shouted a few more times inside, but there was no response.
"Looks like I had to slam the door open!"
Inukai thought for a moment and said, "Come on, let's bump together!" ”
As he spoke, Yoshihiro Moto, Taiki Tanaka, and Takato all agreed, and under the command of Inukaigen, everyone began to bang on the door, only to break the wooden stick of the door latch.
Knocking on the door, what everyone saw was that he had hanged himself in the house - Momoka Hayashihara!
