Chapter 249: Why Did the Murderer's Footprints Disappear?
"Big brother—big brother—" There was a sudden sound outside the house, and Fujiwara Yu, who had just returned to the house where he was staying and was about to change his coat, walked out quickly, and saw Yuzo Takeda with an anxious look on his face.
Ryuji Takeda, who also came out of the living room because of the noise, looked at his little brother and asked out loud, "What's the matter, Yuzo, why are you panicking?" ”
"Big brother is gone, I've looked for the studio and other places, but I can't find him!" Yuzo Takeda didn't look like he was drunk just now, and the sudden disappearance of his eldest brother woke him up.
Fujiwara Yu's brows furrowed when he heard this, combined with the three suicides with other hidden circumstances and the content of the entrustment letter, he quickly turned his head to look at Takeda Ryuji, and spoke very quickly: "Mr. Ryuji, where is your family's warehouse?!" ”
"Warehouse? The warehouse is right next to the back door...... Ay? Sergeant Eagle Division, where are you going? Fujiwara didn't have time to answer him, turned around and picked up the flashlight on the living room table, pulled his legs and ran in the direction of the back door, and after seeing the two-story old-fashioned warehouse, he noticed that the windows on the second floor were actually open.
Realizing that something was wrong, he didn't think much about it, and while pulling out his gloves from his pocket and putting them on, he ran briskly towards the warehouse, targeting the second floor of the warehouse, where three suicides had occurred.
He pressed his hand against the doorknob and tried to twist it, only to find it locked.
"Officer Eagle Division, ...... You don't think Big Brother is here, do you? Takeda Ryuji who came with him gasped slightly, he didn't exercise much on weekdays, and just running a few steps choked him enough.
The response to Takeda Ryuji was not words, but actions. Fujiwara Yu directly raised his right knee to chest height, and kicked the wooden door locked upwards with his luck, only to hear a loud bang, the wooden door collapsed in response, presenting a picture in front of him, which he will never forget.
I saw that Takeda Shinichi's neck was wrapped with a thick hemp rope, and the whole person was hanging from the ground on the beam of the roof, his whole face was a terrible blue and purple, and his eyes were even more outward, and the expression left before his death could see that he was very frightened.
But what surprised Fujiwara the most was that Takeda Shinichi's body was completely entangled in puppet wire, just like the feeling that the craftsman who made the puppet was being manipulated by his own elaborate puppet.
"Big... Eldest brother? "Yuzo Takeda is really drunk now, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, is their family really cursed by spider monsters?
So who will be the next one to commit suicide? Ryuji Takeda, who was standing on the side, couldn't believe the scene in front of him, which was almost the same as the scene when Mr. Negishi died, but he didn't believe that his eldest brother would commit suicide, how could his eldest brother commit suicide?
He's going to ask Officer Eagle Division to investigate the truth about Mr. Negishi's death!
"Spider ...... It's a spider...... It's the spider-sama who is doing this! Tomoe Takeda, who came out of his house at some point, exclaimed directly after seeing this scene, and his expression was like seeing a monster.
Spider-sama? Fujiwara Yu shook his head, this is obviously a puppet line, how can a spider spin silk support people, this mother-in-law's imagination is too rich.
Instead of rushing closer to the deceased, he squatted down and took out a flashlight to carefully examine the warehouse floor. You must know that the second floor of this warehouse is in an abandoned state, and there have been three suicides in just three years, and no one will come at all on weekdays.
Naturally, no one would clean it, so he wanted to see what the dust on the floor looked like.
Through the light of the flashlight, a series of footprints could indeed be clearly seen, pacing the doorway and extending to the window, and there were no other footprints of a second person...... How is this possible?
Why did the murderer's footprints disappear? Takeda Ryuji saw Takaji Sosuke squatting on the ground without saying a word, he leaned down and asked, "Officer Takaji, ...... now"
"Find a way to call the police, Mr. Shinichi has already shown the characteristics of mechanical suffocation." The implication is that he is dead.
"How come, big brother, how could he die...... Takeda Ryuji quickly cheered up after a few seconds of trance, he looked at the nanny behind him, Shiotani Miyuki, and instructed: "Shiotani, please contact the police." ”
"Yes, I'll go!" Fujiwara Yu walked in with a flashlight, and he could already feel the cold on the surface of the body, and even the body showed a slight muscle contraction, and the time of death was at least more than an hour.
But an hour ago, the people who had an alibi were everyone except Tomoe Takeda.
How did the murderer kill people in the air? He can't have the same ability as a ninja, right?
Fujiwara Yu took advantage of his height to see the state of the victim's neck by simply putting up his toes, which was a dark purple-black color, while the color on both sides gradually became lighter, which is a typical ditch.
At present, it is possible to basically determine that the cause of death was hanging, and the possibility of first strangulation and then faking it into hanging, can be ruled out. Well?
Fujiwara suddenly noticed something dark red at the end of his hair, and when he focused the light of the flashlight on the back of his head, he found that a small amount of blood oozing from the back of his head had coagulated.
"Hey, why is the window on the second floor open here? Feed! Is there anyone inside!! "I have to say that Hattori's voice is really loud, and if he is paired with a big horn, I'm afraid he can cause mental trauma to the enemy, or damage with a penetrating effect.
Fujiwara Yu glared at the half-moon and walked forward, and when he came to the window, he found that the window was very small, so small that it could only pass through a child under one meter two.
As a 1.9-meter-tall man, he can only hold on to the upper beam with both hands, poke his head out in a pull-up manner, and look down to see the outgoing trio standing downstairs.
He was afraid that these people would not notice him, so he raised his voice and replied, "Hattori, you should come up quickly...... Yuanshan, you just wait on the first floor of the warehouse, don't come to the second floor. "Just now in the car, I observed the frightened expression of the distant mountain after hearing about the Spider Mansion, and the body of Takeda Shinichi is in such a state, it is better not to let her see it, otherwise she will have a nightmare at night.
Hattori Heiji was slightly stunned to understand the subtext of Brother Yingsi, he ran quickly towards the second floor of the warehouse, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he arrived inside, which was really a bit impactful.
But after the impact, it turned out to be a sense of excitement, and he felt that the detective cells in his body were boiling.
"Heh, does this bastard dare to send a murder notice? I'm going to catch you. As soon as Fujiwara Yu approached Hattori, he heard him speak a little bit, and he gently tapped his forehead with the back of his hand and asked, "Don't talk to yourself there, do you have any thoughts when you see this body?" Hattori Heiji carefully circled around the body of Takeda Shinichi, because he was not tall enough to see the ditch, he could only move a dusty bench from the side, and after determining the cause of death, he said confidently: "The murderer wants to use the curse of the Spider Mansion to disturb the police's sight, I think...... The right direction of the investigation is to find out the truth about the three previous suicides. ”
"Well, ninety-nine."
"Huh? Why 99 points? Shouldn't it be a perfect score? ”
"Give you full marks because you're afraid of your pride, and besides, you haven't found the murderer yet...... Well? Fujiwara suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something on the sole of his shoe, and he jumped to the side with one foot and took off the sneaker on his right foot, only to find that a thumbtack had been pierced in the sole.
Seeing this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly took out his mobile phone to shine a faint light, and after checking the floor with his waist to make sure there were no thumbtacks, he said: "It's really dangerous, if the soles of the shoes are not thicker, they will be pierced to the feet!" ”
"Hattori, this pin is new."
"Huh?"
