37 Defeat the speculation of the Iron Feathers

In this regard, Tie Zhuyu nodded, confirming Gao Yuan's thoughts.

"So, I kind of get it."

Gao Yuan said a little abruptly: "Because of the smell of gunpowder on Keiko Okumura's body, and she has been to this cabin, so do you suspect that Keiko Okumura put gunpowder in this cabin?" And that night, you find out that Haruki Kubo and Keiko Okumura come to meet at this cabin, and you feel that something is wrong, right? ”

"Yes."

After listening to Gao Yuan's summary, Tie Zhuyu did not deny it.

"In other words, you suspect that Keiko Okumura put gunpowder in this cabin. And in this season, come to this cabin at night, because there is no electricity here, and to light and heat here, you have to light a bonfire......"

Gao Yuan thought about it and said, but when he looked at Tie Zhuyu beside him, he said that he was all there and did not continue to speak.

But if you follow this line of thought, it is obvious that you can come to a conclusion - Keiko Okumura is likely to want to kill Haruki Kubo!

According to the content of the text message, Haruka Kubo asked Keiko Okumura to meet in this cabin after twelve o'clock, waiting for everyone in the villa to fall asleep. Then, according to common sense, before Keiko Okumura passed, Haruki Kubo, as the invitee, should have been waiting in the cabin in advance.

At night in this season, it is still in the mountains, and it must be very cold, so waiting here, you have to find a way to keep warm. And there is no electricity here, but there is a bit of a bonfire, so it is obviously a normal choice to light a campfire for heating.

In other words, if you know that someone will come to the cabin at night, then it is to be expected that someone will light a bonfire - but what if there is gunpowder planted in the place beforehand?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan asked Tie Zhuyu: "You guessed a possibility, so you were uneasy, so you immediately ran here to confirm, right?" ”

In this regard, Tie Zhuyu nodded: "I...... I don't want Keiko to do something stupid. ”

With such an answer, Gao Yuan knew that his guess was right, and the girl in front of him would leave the villa at that time that night, and he thought of this possibility.

"So, what is the result?"

Gao Yuan asked, "Did you come here and find gunpowder?" ”

Tie Zhuyu didn't answer immediately, but came to the bonfire, pointed to the pile of burned, but unburned firewood, and said, "Right down here, it's covered with a layer of gunpowder. ”

"What did you do after that?"

Takato asked.

"I used the tools from there to get the gunpowder out and sprinkle it on the hill behind the hut."

Tie Zhuyu pointed to the pile of tools piled up on the wall of the wooden house and said, and inside this pile of tools, there were brooms and dustpans.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan nodded, and agreed with the girl's approach very much, but soon thought of something, and hurriedly asked:

"Wait a minute, the whole time you were dealing with gunpowder, didn't Haruki Kubo show up?"

"Nope."

Shaking his head, Tie Zhuyu said, "From the time I came here until I returned to the villa, I haven't seen anyone appear here. ”

"That's right."

Receiving such an answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think-

According to the previous speculation, if the content of the text message is true, then according to common sense, Kubo Haruki should arrive at the cabin before twelve o'clock and wait.

According to Tie Zhuyu's previous statement, she found out that Keiko Okumura was attacked at about twelve o'clock in the evening, that is, after Tie Zhuyu disposed of the gunpowder in the cabin, it should also be around twelve o'clock in the evening when he returned to the villa. And the distance from the villa to the cabin is not far, and it doesn't take ten minutes to walk, so the time for Tie Zhuyu to leave the cabin should not be far from twelve o'clock. But even so, Tie Zhuyu didn't meet Haruki Kubo?

Or is it that Haruki Kubo has already arrived, but the person who saw the appearance of the cabin was not Keiko Okumura, so he didn't show up?

Wait a minute!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and somewhat understood why Tie Zhuyu was so sure that the murderer was Kubo Haruki:

"I see! That's why you say that the murderer is Haruki Kubo! ”

Looking at Tie Zhuyu, Gao Yuan said so, but without waiting for Tie Zhuyu to respond, Gao Yuan continued to say to himself:

"Haruki Kubo made an appointment to meet Keiko Okumura, and Keiko Okumura lives in the same house as you. If Haruki Kubo had found out that it was you who appeared in the cabin, would you have thought that it was only Keiko Okumura who was in the bedroom of the villa at that time? Although it is unclear why Haruki Kubo asked Keiko Okumura to meet at night, it is certain that he wanted to meet Keiko Okumura alone that night from the content of the text message. In that case, it is already known that the only person in the bedroom of the villa at that time was Keiko Okumura, so it is the same to go directly to the villa - you think so, right? ”

After listening to Gao Yuan's inference, Tie Zhuyu nodded:

"Yes, since Haruki Kubo sent a text message to Keiko, it's impossible for him not to come. And when he finds out that the person in the cabin is me, it is possible to go directly to the villa to find Keiko, in this case......"

That way, the two of them would meet directly in the bedroom. After that, they don't know what happened between them, and Haruki Kubo stabbed Keiko Okumura and fled. And afterwards, Keiko Okumura deliberately said that she didn't know the person who attacked her in order to protect Haruki Kubo. ”

Gao Yuan added, and then asked Tie Zhuyu for confirmation: "What I said is not wrong, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Tie Zhuyu affirmed with some excitement, "That's what I think!" ”

As he spoke, he seemed a little frustrated: "However, in order to cover up Keiko's behavior, I can't ......"

"But it's a pity, Miss Zhuyu."

Gao Yuan interrupted Tie Zhuyu's words, "Your guess should be wrong. ”

"Huh?"

Tie Zhuyu was puzzled.

"You came here that night to deal with gunpowder. At night, it was pitch black, and there was no electricity in this wooden house, so there was no light. And because of the gunpowder, you can't light a bonfire. ”

"So, the only means of lighting you had at that time was anything like a flashlight, and I'm not wrong. ”

Tie Zhuyu nodded.

So, Takato continued: "Then, the problem is, since you didn't find out that Kubo Haruki appeared, then it is obvious that he should not have approached you even if he was at the scene at the time. With only the light of a flashlight and no approaching you, how could he be sure that the person who was in the cabin at the time was not Keiko Okumura, but you? ”

Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu was stunned.

In that case, it is impossible for Haruki Kubo to recognize who you are without approaching you, but will assume that the person who appeared in the cabin at that time is Keiko Okumura. That way, no matter what, he will choose to be close to you. ”

Takato said, "You and Keiko Okumura's hair color is similar, and in that case, it is only when you are very close to each other that Haruki Kubo can detect that you are not Keiko Okumura." But in this way, at such a close distance, you should be able to spot Kubo Haruka. ”

"But...... I didn't find ......."

Tie Zhuyu said very panickedly.

"So I say, your guess is probably wrong."

Gao Yuan said.

"That'...... What the hell is going on! ”

Tie Zhuyu asked Gao Yuan with some collapse.

Looking at the girl in front of him, with tears in her eyes, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly, then pressed his hands on Tie Zhuyu's shoulders, stared at Tie Zhuyu with serious eyes and said:

"Miss Zhuyu, have you ever wondered how things would have turned out if you hadn't peeked at that text message?"
