15 Identity of the murderer

"You mean, the killer deliberately made such a big hole in the wall so that the table could pass through it!"

After listening to Takato's words, Miwako Sato said with a look of surprise, feeling a little difficult to accept such a train of thought for a while, and Wataru Takagi asked unexpectedly:

"So...... If so, why didn't the murderer move the table out when he had already opened such a big hole? ”

"Officer Takagi ......"

For Gao Mu Shibu's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said helplessly:

"Don't you understand...... The table did not need to be moved out of the other room, but the murderer made such a big hole in the wall in order to move the table outside the other room into the other room. ”

"Heyβ€”"

Dragged out his voice, Wataru Takagi couldn't help but show a very surprised expression, and Miwako Sato seemed to have connected everything Takato said before and after, and asked in surprise:

"Could it be that the table has already been made, and therefore must have been taken out of the other room and placed there; Where. And the murderer is killing the dead on the table...... That is, the murderer moved the body! ”

Very concise, Miwako Sato grasped the core issue.

In this regard, Gao Yuan smiled slightly, nodded seriously at Miwako Sato, and then began to explain:

"That's right. Judging from the bloodstains on the tabletop, before the bloodstains were completely coagulated, there should have been at least some bloodstains that had dripped from the table to the ground, but no bloodstains were found at the scene of the other house, so it can be considered that the other room was not the scene of the first crime, and the murderer should have killed the deceased somewhere else, and then waited until the bloodstains solidified, and then moved the body together with the table in the other room. ”

"But...... Why do such a troublesome thing? ”

Wataru Takagi asked puzzled.

"Because, for the murderer, if the body is not moved, and the body is found at the scene, then it is almost equivalent to declaring the identity of the murderer."

Gao Yuan explained:

"The murderer should also understand that it is easy to leave traces by moving the body of the deceased after death, but in order not to reveal his identity, the murderer has to transfer the body. For this reason, the murderer should have racked his brains.

"Fortunately, the body happened to be lying on the table, and there were blood stains on the table, so as long as the table was removed together, it was possible to ensure that the body and some traces of the scene could be removed without changing the posture of the deceased."

Hearing this, Wataru Takagi couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling that this idea was really amazing, and Miwako Sato kept thinking about it, but she couldn't think of any way to refute this speculation.

"But then it becomes a new problem where to move the body and the table so that it won't be suspected."

At this time, Gao Yuan continued:

"The table is furniture that the deceased has already made, and because it is very new, it should be something newly made. So, wouldn't it be a good camouflage to move the table to the studio in the annex room and make it look unfinished? ”

But in this case, the murderer had to carry the table with him, so that the deceased's posture would not change, so the murderer had to carry the table...... But this ......"

Miwako Sato has already begun to envision this situation and has begun to analyze it.

"If you move the table directly into the other room, the table is too big to pass through the door of the other room!"

Wataru Takagi said in understanding.

"That's right. If you simply take the table out of the room, you can move it out of the door by folding the legs and erecting the table. But now that there are corpses on the table, of course it is impossible to move in vertically again, which is something that cannot be done no matter how much you toss it......"

Gao Yuan explained in detail.

That's why the murderer came up with this method of punching holes in the wall! Make the impossible possible! ”

Wataru Takagi was surprised.

"That's right. Hide the table behind the house, then take the key from the deceased's pocket to enter the room, and lock the door to be on the safe side. Next, it's time to use a chainsaw to make a hole in the wall. ”

高远 says:

After moving the table safely into the house, the killer began his disguise. There is a reasonable explanation for cutting off a section of the leg to make the table look like it wasn't finished, and then sprinkling paint on the doorway to give the impression that the killer would choose to break through the wall. The last thing is to put the key back in the deceased's pocket, wipe off the fingerprints, and leave the scene. ”

After listening to Takato's explanation, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi thought seriously for a while, and then couldn't help but say:

Indeed, in this way all doubts have a reasonable explanation...... But who is the murderer? How did Mr. Wise know that there would be blood in the kitchen? ”

Miwako Sato said this, and couldn't help but look at the fluorescent spots on the kitchen floor due to the luminol reaction.

Wataru Takagi had the same question.

In this regard, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly:

"What's wrong? I've got it all said, haven't you figured it out yet? When I realized that the big hole in the scene was for moving the table in, I already knew that it was impossible for one person to carry the table with the corpse! Therefore, in addition to the murderer, there must be an accomplice.

"And after the scope of known suspects can be locked to the four people living in the main house, as long as you find out which two people's testimony is obviously suspected of covering up each other, you can basically determine who the murderer is!"

"What! That means ......"

Hearing Takato's statement, Takagi finally figured out the key, and then instantly understood who the suspect was, but because the choice of the suspect was too surprising, Takagi Wataru still showed an expression of disbelief.

"That's right, the murderers are Nana Yamauchi and Yuta Yamauchi."

Gao Yuan said the conclusion bluntly, and then began to add:

Of course, this is also a point of speculation from the behavior of the two when they were questioned. But once you've locked them down, you can start guessing the real first scene.

"And one of them can reveal their identities at once, and it is still the place where the table was originally suitable, and the most likely place is the kitchen! That's why I've asked you to start a luminol test on the kitchen, and if you find the blood of the deceased here, you can determine that the first crime scene is the kitchen! ”

With that, Gao Yuan began to sort out the entire case in chronological order:

"Yesterday at eleven o'clock, the deceased Yamauchi Toda finished making the table and put it in the kitchen. At that time, his nephew and daughter were probably watching TV in the kitchen. After that, he may have left the screwdriver in his fanny pack in the kitchen, or maybe it was something else, but the deceased returned to the kitchen again......"

Gao Yuan said, his tone became a little solemn-

"I'm afraid it was then, Mr. Toda Yamauchi, bumped into the brother and sister, and was doing something unseemly......"
