38 Lofty speculation
"If you don't see that text message?"
Said in a trembling tone, Tie Zhuyu was very surprised, she had never thought about this question before.
"That's right."
Gao Yuan said solemnly, "If you hadn't seen that text message, would you have come here so late that day to confirm?" ”
"This ......"
Tie Zhuyu hesitated, but still said in a hesitant tone: "Maybe, no." ”
Hearing such an answer, Gao Yuan had expected it, so he said: "So, your coming here that night was actually an accident, normally you should have stayed in the bedroom that night, right?" ”
In this regard, Tie Zhuyu nodded and agreed.
"Then, Miss Zhuyu, next, I'm going to tell my guess."
Gao Yuan showed a serious expression and said solemnly, "I hope you stay calm!" ”
Seeing Gao Yuan's statement, Tie Zhuyu was obviously a little unsure, but after a while, he still waited patiently for Gao Yuan's explanation.
"Miss Zhuyu, I think that the murderer's target should be you!"
Gao Yuan's hands were still pressed on the girl's shoulders, and he said this sentence very seriously.
Obviously, such a conclusion made Tie Zhuyu very surprised, staring at Gao Yuan in front of him with wide eyes, revealing frightened eyes, and then his tone trembled-
"For ...... Why? ”
The girl asked in a daze, "If the murderer is targeting me, how can he attack Keiko?" ”
"Because the murderer was mistaken."
Gao Yuan said.
"But if the murderer's target is me, you should know what I look like! Even if the murderer doesn't know Keiko, when the murderer attacks in front of him, he should find out that the person in the house is Keiko and not me! ”
Tie Zhuyu said with some excitement.
Letting go of his hands, Gao Yuan sighed a little heavily:
"Miss Moyu, when you found out that Keiko Okumura was attacked, she fell at the door, right?"
Tie Zhuyu was a little puzzled by Gao Yuan's sudden question, but he still nodded silently.
So Gao Yuan continued:
That's right, the murderer is indeed mistaken. Because after the murderer knocked on the door, he waited for the door to open at the moment, and did not see who the person who opened the door was clearly, so he suddenly attacked. ”
"How could it be ......?"
Tie Zhuyu said in disbelief.
"Of course, the murderer will immediately realize that he has made the wrong person, so after stabbing Keiko Okumura, he immediately chose to flee."
Gao Yuan said.
"But why would the murderer do it the moment he opened the door!"
Tie Zhuyu said excitedly, "At that time, we lived in one bedroom for two people, so it is possible for Keiko and me to be the ones who will open the door!" Why did the murderer do this! ”
"Because, the murderer is very sure that the person who opened the door at that time could only be you."
Gao Yuan said.
"Convinced ......"
Tie Zhuyu couldn't accept Gao Yuan's statement, so Gao Yuan added: "It's that text message." ”
Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu was stunned.
"That text message was sent to Keiko Okumura, and the content was to ask her to go out that night."
Gao Yuan said seriously, "Then from the murderer's point of view, the person who will go out that night should be Keiko Okumura." In other words, in the murderer's cognition, he is very sure that the person who stays in the bedroom will only be you! ”
Speaking of this, Tie Zhuyu seemed to be a little dazed and didn't take the initiative to speak again, but Gao Yuan still explained:
"The murderer should have been monitoring the movement of the villa from a distance, but it was night in the mountains at night, there was not enough light, and the murderer was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to get close to observe, but he could see when someone was going out of the villa. When he found out that someone had left the villa at night, he would naturally think that person was Keiko Okumura who had received a text message from Haruki Kubo, so the person who stayed in the bedroom could only be Miss Moruha. ”
"How...... Will ......"
Tie Zhuyu said in disbelief.
"It's impossible for the murderer to know that Miss Moyu, you peeked at the text message, and it is impossible to know that Keiko Okumura had placed gunpowder in the cabin in advance."
Gao Yuan said, "These are all things that the murderer has planned, so until the murderer does it, he didn't realize the fact that the person who ended up staying in the bedroom was not his target!" ”
"In other words, it was because I peeked at that text message that I ...... it"
"Miss Zhuyu!"
Gao Yuan listened to Tie Zhuyu's words, and immediately stopped him, "Please don't think like this, the above is just my current speculation!" ”
Although, this speculation explains a lot of follow-up problems -
For example, why Keiko Okumura would say "she doesn't know that person". Because the murderer came from the iron Zhuyu, it is normal for Keiko Okumura, who has nothing to do with it, not to know the murderer.
The second is why Tie Zhuyu feels like he is being followed. Because the murderer did not succeed once, he would inevitably find an opportunity to act again, so tracking Tie Zhuyu to find an opportunity has become an option.
Also, why Keiko Okumura was killed in the end. Because although the murderer realized that he had killed the wrong person at the time and chose to flee in a panic, in retrospect, he would think that his face was seen after all, and in order to kill him, he had to kill Keiko Okumura in the end.
"And even if that's the case, you don't have to blame yourself for it."
Gao Yuan stepped forward and comforted, "In that case, even I may make the same choice as you, and you have done nothing wrong." And the one who really needs to pay for it is the murderer! ”
After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Tie Zhuyu was silent for a while, then looked at Gao Yuan and said, "I understand. So, Mr. Wise, what do we do next? ”
"Well, let me think about it."
Seeing that Tie Zhuyu didn't blame himself anymore, Gao Yuan felt a little relieved, although he really wanted to ask Tie Zhuyu what he thought about the identity of the murderer, but if he had to say it, the murderer would have murderous intent towards this girl, even if it was himself, he now felt that this speculation was somewhat far-fetched.
"Haruki Kubo."
After thinking about it, Takato said, "According to my speculation, if this is the case, then the murderer must know the content of the text message sent to Keiko Okumura, so now I need to confirm whether Haruki Kubo sent a text message to Keiko Okumura that night." By the way, you said that the text message was sent by Haruki Kubo, is it because the remarks on Keiko Okumura's mobile phone are Haruki Kubo? ”
Tie Zhuyu shook his head.
"No, there is no note on that number, it's the signature of the text message is Haruki Kubo."
"That's right."
Takato felt a little helpless - if so, it is possible that the text message was not sent by Haruki Kubo at all. Either way, though, this must be confirmed now.
"So, Miss Moruha, do you know where Haruki Kubo is?"
Takato asked.
To this, Tie Zhuyu nodded.
"Now, then, let's go and ask him."
Takato proposed.
Hearing this, Tie Zhuyu's expression changed slightly-
"Well, Mr. Wise, may I not go?"
Tie Zhuyu suddenly turned his face away and said so.
