Chapter 1618: Haunted House Murder Case (Part 2)



"Sister, brother-in-law..."

Behind Tang Ze, Sonoko stepped back upon hearing his words, hugged Ayako's arm, looked at Tang Ze fearfully and said, "Don't scare me..."

"How's the situation..." Ayako looked at Tang Ze who was half-crouching in front of the grave and asked, "Is he injured?"

"No, he was hit hard on the head and has no vital signs."

Tang Ze stood up and turned to look at Ayako and said, "Ayako, call the police first, then take Sonoko to the front and call the two staff members we just met over."

"I see!"

When Ayako heard Tang Ze's arrangement, she nodded without much hesitation and pulled Sonoko away from the scene.

As for Sonoko, she didn't dare to look at the head of the fake dead person in front of her that had turned into a real dead ghost. She covered her eyes and turned around with Ayako to call the two staff members in front.

After a while, a loud cry of "something happened in the garden" was heard from the haunted house, and soon two ghosts, a man and a woman, ran over in a hurry.

"Agui!"

"Is that necessary?"

Plus, they restored the site and checked the room, so it was very likely that no one had sneaked in.

Inspector Megure nodded and said, "It doesn't mean that the case occurred before Brother Yokoi and I retreated.

The two of them later played a ghost respectively, and the short and rather wretched woman was the hanged ghost.

Inspector Megure said that and turned to look at the eight people next to him: "That's the haunted house outside. After Yokoi and the others came to play, the haunted house probably didn't have time to restore the venue.

When Yokoi and Conan heard what Yayama Rimi said, they were stunned, and it seemed that no idea passed through their minds.

"Of course I did." The man choked up and said, "You were all together at the time."

Yayama Rimi was still wearing the ancient hanged man's kimono, but Yokoi noticed some strange circular marks on the front and back of the kimono.

But the deceased didn't have any large wounds on his cheeks. Isn't that strange?"

Before Ma Shengshi finished examining the body, he stood up and said, "As for the murder weapon, it should be the fallen flashlight."

All those clues confirmed the correctness of Yokoi's reasoning.

Yokoi pointed to the tiny, open wound on Ogino Takashi's face and said, "The lighting fixture should have fallen from below, so it should have hit the top of his head directly.

You want Meihui to be happy, and if Ogino is your bad friend, how could you possibly kill me!?"

The clues have not been found yet, so it is natural to solve the case. Yokoi climbed up the ladder and walked towards the crime scene in the middle of the haunted house.

Inspector Megure stroked his chin and pondered, "Does that mean that the case was an accident?"

Yokoi looked at the frightened Yayama Rimi and said, "You're wrong, Mr. Yada!"

It was just a moment, and then Yokoi slowly shifted his gaze to the eighth person, who looked wrong.

Inspector Megure's analysis is actually very pertinent.

The male ghost nearby saw the female ghost crying and quickly began to comfort her. Before long, the hanged male ghost also hurried over.

Yokoi, who was standing by, saw that the man had a headache, but he didn't want to try to comfort him since he was just crying. He simply looked at the two people next to him and asked about the situation.

It doesn't mean that the murderer who pretended to be an accomplice in that murder case was among the eight of them!"

At this time, didn’t they see the deceased?”

However, there is no explanation for the wound on the right side of the deceased's head.

Having heard her voice before, Yokoi recognized the shorter woman and said, "He'll be the seventh."

The moment he saw the rope, Yokoi understood the important role it played in the murder case.

"The cause of death was a head injury. Apart from that, there were no scratches on the face."

"Um..."

Although Kenshichi Karasawa made such an excuse, the expression of belief on Inspector Megure's face deepened.

Because Conan is here today, there are no more followers around, so naturally there are no people to discuss with.

For example, the person behind me, Rimi Yayama, who claimed that she and the deceased were just special colleagues, but she also provided information and pointed the suspicion at the deceased's friend. At this moment, I have not attracted Yokoi's attention.

In that situation, the two of them could only appear on the stage honestly, and because there were no tourists present, it was possible that they would take a detour to kill the eighth victim before appearing on the stage.

"That's right!" Officer Megure suddenly realized what Yokoi said. "The light should have fallen from below, but there are no signs of injury to the head or cheek. That's really strange."

It must be a real act, so he can definitely win the Oscar for Best Actor.

After looking at the case, it turned out to be a very difficult case. Yokoi slowly discovered the coordination gap in the workplace of the "Hanged Ghost" Yayama Rimi.

Although those were considered as evidence, Yokoi still ruled out those two people first and turned his gaze of trust to Yayang Yanwan.

"That gentleman is the one who later played the role of the hanged man."

"Agui!"

Yayama Rimi said, "Besides, they just saw you acting as the 'Hanging Ghost', so the person hanging in the air the whole time was actually able to move, so it could be you."

When he saw the original face of the deceased, the handsome man with short hair suddenly knelt beside the deceased and burst into tears.

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice: "Although the terrain of the haunted house is close to "S" shape, it only has one-way street and there is no way back.

"Your name is Tian Yingxiaohui."
