161. Do the opposite
"John and Sally, you should be like Mr. Koyama and the others, more than the first time you have come to Misty Island, right?"
Shirakawa said slowly.
John's brow furrowed slightly, even if he wanted to quibble, but because of the presence of the old butler, Mr. Tanimoto Hideyuki, there was no way to lie in this matter.
"Last time, you should have searched the entire island, but you didn't find any clues to the treasure.
"Then you begin to suspect that the real clues to the treasure may not be in the love letter at all, it may be in the attic of the manor, or the forbidden three rooms, but unfortunately the last treasure hunt, you listened to the housekeeper's advice and did not go to these places, which leads you to regret.
"And this treasure hunt, there is a lot of time, everyone is looking for it on the island, and after finding no clues, they will definitely have the same idea as you.
"In order to weed out these competitors from the start, you chose to do the opposite.
"First of all, on the night of the 25th, you approached Toshiharu Nishi and Tashiro Yoriko, and after an intimate exercise with them, you asked to form a treasure hunting alliance, and revealed that only the Forbidden House could have real treasure clues.
This is also the reason why Toshiji Nishi was the most emotional and disgusted when he heard the housekeeper say that he would encounter accidents after entering the house after violating the rules.
"Nishi Shunji thinks that Mr. Butler doesn't want everyone to find the treasure at all, and there is a possibility of hiding clues.
"At the same time, you made such a big disturbance on the night of 25, and it also had the effect of confusing the public, and you want everyone to think that you and Sally are extremely close to the couple, and there will definitely be no motive to kill.
"That's why this afternoon, Shunji Nishishi and Yoriko Tashiro were either kissing or flirting when they explored the forest with us, because they knew that there could be no clues in the forest at all, and the clues were in the Forbidden House.
"At 7 o'clock after dinner, Shunji Nishiro and Yoriko Tashiro were going to explore Room 3, but Yoriko Tashiro was a woman after all, and the eyes of Mr. Housekeeper before she looked at her, which made her feel scared, and she began to retreat, and at the same time she saw the message left by Mr. Tokuji Furuta, so she decided to leave temporarily, in short, the clues her boyfriend got would also be shared with her.
This way, she can not only take risks, but also get clues, and she can catch up with old friends, killing three birds with one stone.
It wasn't until Shunji Nishi came out of room 3 that Sally appeared, and she took the initiative to seduce Shunji Nishi, asking to return to Toshiji's room.
Because he had an intimate relationship with Sally, he took Sally back to his room, and at Sally's request, he went into the bathroom to take a bath. Sally took the opportunity to open the door and let John in.
John and Sally wanted to get a clue about Room 3 from Toshiji, but Nishitoshi said that there was no clue to the treasure in it.
John and Sally then pressed Toshiji into the water and brutally interrogated.
Unfortunately, they still didn't get the answers they wanted.
In the end, John carried out his original plan, drowned Shunji Nishi, and carried his body to the Rose Garden.
"The purpose is to make the butler Mr. Tanimoto say the words that Toshiji has violated the 'rules' and has been punished, so that everyone can believe that Toshiharu Nishiji died from the curse of the manor's rules, so that everyone will not dare to approach the three rooms and the attic at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
"Right, Mr. John, Miss Sally?"
Shirakawa looked at John and Sally, their expressions changing from surprise to panic.
Because what Shirakawa said was almost word for word.
"What evidence do you have?"
Still, John held on.
"Evidence? Miss Yoriko Tashiro, am I right? β
Shirakawa looked at Yoriko Tashiro, her eyes were red, and her body was trembling with emotion,
"On the night of the 25th, John and Sally did say that they wanted to form an alliance with us, and they shared clues, they told me and Nishi-kun that love letters were just a faΓ§ade, and the real clues were in the three rooms and the attic at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
"It turns out that you just wanted to kill me and Xijunjun from the beginning, and we still trust you so much because of it!"
Yoriko Tashiro roared and rushed towards Sally, but was stopped by the people around her.
"Miss Tashiro, calm down."
Furuta Tokuji hugged her from behind and told her not to rush to confront the murderer.
The corners of John's mouth went up,
"Miss Tashiro, how can you believe his side of the story, this is not evidence at all."
"yes, this, this can't be considered evidence."
Sally said too.
"You have the time to commit the crime, you also have the motive to commit the crime, and what evidence do you need?"
The female anchor Kojima Kiko, who was completely on Shirakawa's side, said, "Everyone hurry up and arrest these two murderers." β
"That's right! Hurry up and arrest them. β
Kuramoto also echoed tomorrow.
"You're being fooled by Kuraki-kun, aren't you? There is no evidence to show that John and Sally are the murderers, at most they are the most suspects. β
Lawyer Hiromi Ichimura said.
The 16 people at the scene suddenly turned into three groups.
Kiko Kojima and others who support Shirakawa, a middle-aged group that supports John, and an onlooker group led by Mr. Butler.
"Kuraki-kun, are you going to show evidence?"
John looked at Shirakawa with disdain, he was sure that he had left no trace.
Shirakawa frowned, he didn't expect so many people to support John.
"As long as a crime is committed, evidence will be left, and the evidence is in Toshiji's room."
Shirakawa said, stood up, put down his coffee cup, and walked to the front.
Chiyuki Mei and Kojima followed closely behind him, and the others followed upstairs one after another.
Everyone came to Shunji Nishi's room.
Toshiji's room looked neat and tidy, except for the somewhat messy bed.
Shirakawa walked to the quilt, picked up the quilt, and sniffed, "The fragrance of roses, as well as the sweetness of lychees, everyone can smell it, who sprayed a similar perfume, that is, the last woman who came into contact with Toshiji Nishi." β
Sally nervously ducked behind John, while the others followed Shirakawa's example and sniffed the scent on the quilt.
"It's really the scent of Miss Sally, the smell of Miss Kojima is freesia, the smell of Tashiro is lemon, the smell of Miss Kuramoto is lavender, Mrs. Hanada barely wears perfume, and Miss Mei is the scent of fruit."
Keiji Yajima, a modern poet who understands fragrance very well, said.
Shirakawa suspected that the scent on Chiyuki's body came from the fruit in her backpack, but now was not the time to think about it.
"It only means that Sally has been here, and it doesn't prove that we are the murderers."
John said.
In short, as long as there is no surveillance, he can quibble.
Shirakawa thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, unless there are witnesses who see you entering this room, you will never admit it, will you?" β
"Yes, you can't come up with convincing evidence at all."
John looked up haughtily.
Shirakawa smiled and looked at the former mercenary Tanida Fu, who had always been silent,
"Mr. Tanida Fu, I remember that you have an occupational disease, and when you are on time, you like to patrol, so at 7 o'clock in the evening, did you see Mr. John and Miss Sally entering Nishishunji's room in the corridor on the second floor?"
Tanida nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
Shirakawa let out a long breath of turbidity.
John and Sally were stunned, they didn't even notice Tanida Fu.
When Tanida was a mercenary in the past, he was very good at stealing, don't look at his size, muscles, and no sound when he walks.
Shirakawa had long noticed this, and his observation was sharper than the others.
This time, even Hiromi Ichimura, a lawyer who had always supported John, stopped speaking for John.
But he didn't feel that his actions of defending the murderer just now were stupid, after all, this is the old business of lawyers.
In addition, he, Keisuke Koyama and others hope that everyone can believe the rumors of the "curse of the rules", so that no one is like them, ready to sneak into the attic tonight and look for clues.
John's reckless actions played into their hearts.
But Shirakawa suddenly jumped out and disrupted all their plans.
"Murderer, you don't have anything to say now, do you?"
Da Ting Xiuyi frowned and waved his crutches, "Everyone hurry up and tie them up, and wait for the Metropolitan Police Department to notify them tomorrow to arrest people." β
Before everyone could make a move, John took out a pistol from his coat pocket,
"Hehe, Kuraki-kun, you are indeed very smart, I don't want to kill you for the time being, maybe you can help me solve the mystery of the treasure, as for the others, all raise their hands and go downstairs for me."
John's expression instantly became fierce.
Sally also took out her pistol and aimed at her most jealous Chiyuki Mei.
Shirakawa pulled Chiyuki Mei behind his back and looked at Sally without the slightest fear.
Sally was stunned, the corners of her mouth twitching,
"Kuraki-kun, I'm curious to know, why do you see that my brother and I are cooperating with those two fools and using them, could it be the detective's intuition?"
"Of course not, it's because of you, you have a pathological attachment to John, even if John looks at Mei Yi chan twice, you will be jealous and always hate Mei Yi chan, so you, but on the night of the 25th, you let your brother John and Tashiro Yoriko make intimate moves, which is very contradictory in itself."
Shirakawa explained that he had planned to identify the siblings again tomorrow, who knew that they would commit crimes so soon, and sometimes it was like this, and the plan could not keep up with the change.
"Is it because of me?"
Sally frowned.
John glanced at her, "Don't talk, let them all go to the living room on the first floor." β
Sally nodded.
Everyone was forced to go downstairs and return to the living room on the first floor.
"Hold my head and squat in the corner."
John fired a shot at the ceiling.
Under the deterrence of real guns and ammunition, everyone can only choose to obey.
Sally wanted to play some new tricks, she pointed to Qianxue Meiyi,
"You, come out."
Qianxue Meiyi trembled with fright.
Looking at Sally's evil smile, John licked his tongue, "Sally, won't you?" Do you want to play that trick again? β
Sally said with a smile,
"Hehe, brother, haven't you always liked a pure girl like her? Why don't we make her silver today? β
