14 The table and the great hole

"Hey! Mr. Wise already knows who the murderer is! ”

After listening to Takato's words, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi couldn't help but ask with a look of surprise.

"Well, almost."

Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively at this.

"However, the inquiry just now obviously didn't ask any useful clues, why ......?"

Wataru Takagi asked, puzzled.

"I was just confirming one thing. In fact, when I understood why the murderer had made a hole in the wall, I already understood what was going on with this incident. ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but reply:

"As long as you figure out why the murderer made a hole in the wall, all the doubts will naturally be solved!"

"Is that so?"

Wataru Takagi was still a little puzzled and said:

"However, no matter how much I think about it, I can't imagine how a hole in the wall will do the murderer any good."

"Well...... In this case, could it be that the murderer is trying to cover up some traces? ”

Miwako Sato began to think about it seriously.

"Cover up the traces?"

Hearing this, Takagi asked suspiciously.

"Didn't the murderer have an argument with the victim before committing the murder? Because the buttons on the deceased's body were torn off, and there were bruises on his face. And if you think about it this way, it is also possible that the murderer was counterattacked by the victim, could it be that at that time, the murderer was hit by the deceased on the wall, leaving blood stains or something? ”

Miwako Sato considered this possibility very seriously.

"Oh! I see! ”

And hearing Miwako Sato's speculation, Wataru Takagi felt very reasonable, so he couldn't help but respond:

"Blood splattered on the wall, and even wiping it off couldn't escape the luminol test. So if you want to get rid of the blood completely, the best way is to use a chainsaw to see off the bloody areas on the wall.

"And if only the small piece of the wall that stains the blood is cut off, it will leave very obvious marks on the wall, it will look very suspicious, and the murderer simply cut a big hole in the wall in order to cover this up, so that the traces left by the murderer at the scene can be covered!"

Wataru Takagi was very energetic, and said his thoughts in one breath, which attracted Miwako Sato to look at him very approvingly, feeling that this idea coincided with himself.

"But if you want to cover up the marks on the wall, it would be nice to make more small holes."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but pour cold water on their idea, and couldn't help but say:

"Theoretically, it is more important for the murderer to leave the scene of the murder as soon as possible. Although according to you, the bigger the hole, the better, but there is no point in wasting so much time on opening the hole. ”

"But, if that's not the case, we really can't think of a reason why the murderer had to open this hole?"

Seeing that his conjecture was denied, Takagi couldn't help but say with some loss.

"The crux of the matter is not just the murderer digging a hole in the wall, but why he had to open such a big hole......

Gao Yuan tried to say his speculation, but before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but stop the topic and said:

"Anyway, you guys go investigate as I said."

In this regard, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi glanced at each other, so they had to follow Takato's instructions and launched an investigation-

"Unexpectedly...... But why? ”

In the kitchen of the main house, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi looked at the lumino reaction detected on the kitchen floor, and their expressions couldn't help but become very puzzled, and they turned their heads to look at Takato on the side.

And Gao Yuan seemed to be relieved in the face of the results that appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little relaxed, and then couldn't help but say:

"In this way, it can be basically determined, and the kitchen is the first scene!"

"What!"

For this answer, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi were very shocked, and they didn't know what to say, but they just looked at Takato and waited for his explanation.

"Don't you think it's a little strange about that scene in the other house?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain:

"First of all, you remember the table where the corpse was lying. That table has one leg that is shorter than the other three, and if you lean against it, the table will 'click' and tilt, right? Why do you think that's why? ”

"Because the table isn't finished yet, is it?"

Tentatively, Wataru Takagi replied.

And Gao Yuan also nodded in response to this, and said:

"Of course that's right. However, if this is the case, then there is a contradiction in the scene of the other room - on a table with different corners of the table, there is a man whose head has been pierced by a screwdriver, so it is natural that the whole table will tilt. In this way, shouldn't the blood flowing from the head of the deceased be left from the table at an angle that is tilted on the table? ”

"However, there was no blood on the floor of the other house......

After listening to Takato's words, Miwako Sato immediately realized the crux of the problem, and couldn't help but ponder and said.

"You can take a closer look at the table where the deceased is lying, the shape of the dried blood stains is basically solidified in the opposite position of the deceased's head, only a few blood stains flow slightly from the blood stains, and move to the edge of the tabletop, but on the whole, there is no obvious trace that the blood stains caused by the tilt of the table are mainly flowing in a certain direction."

Hearing this, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi were suddenly surprised, and then took out photos of the scene, carefully looked at the bloodstains on the table where the deceased was, and found that it was indeed as Takato said.

So, Miwako Sato wondered:

"That'...... In other words, the table didn't actually tilt before the blood clotted? ”

"That's right."

Gao Yuan nodded and continued:

"Judging by the shape of the bloodstains, the four legs of the table should have been the same length when the victim was killed. In other words, by the time the eucalyptus occurs, the table should already be in a finished state. However, the murderer waited until the blood dried up and sawed one foot of the table short, which made the table look as if it had not been finished. ”

In this regard, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi continued to look at the photos of the scene, thought about it carefully, and then couldn't help but nod:

"Indeed, if you think so, it should be so."

Miwako Sato says:

"But why did the murderer do this?"

Even more puzzled, Wataru Takagi asked.

"Because, wouldn't it be strange if the table left in the studio had already been made?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"If the table has already been made, it would be more normal to take it out and use it."

"But...... Or maybe it's just made and hasn't had time to take it out yet? ”

Miwako Sato asked.

"Yes, you can think of it that way."

Gao Yuan agreed with Miwako Sato's thinking and said:

"But when it comes to the big hole at the scene, the whole thing is actually clear all of a sudden-"

Saying that, Gao Yuan couldn't help but pause, and then explained seriously:

"Don't you think the big hole in the wall is just big enough for that table to pass through?"
