"It's that simple?" Hanaya Toshio was stunned and puzzled. "But why? What's the point?"
"This is exactly what the criminal intended." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"Is there any meaning behind this?" Naoki Kamii couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed, if my reasoning is correct, I'm afraid this is a clever disguise devised by the criminal using the thorns of the rose."
Tang Ze looked around at the three Hanaya men with injured hands with sharp eyes and said, "I'm afraid there are shameful wounds on the backs of the criminals' hands.
But what had happened could not be undone, so he came up with this plan and moved the body from the room to the rose garden.
The next day, the murderer only had to pretend to move the body and let the rose thorns deliberately scratch the back of his hand, so that he could cover up the original wound on the back of his hand.
As the saying goes, if you drop a drop of water into a glass of water, you can no longer tell which drop was the original one.
Although this strategy is not that exaggerated, it also uses more wounds to reasonably cover up the existing wounds on the back of the hand.

"Mr. Detective, please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us!" Hanaya Yukisaburo spoke first. "What exactly are those scars? Who is the criminal?!"
"It's simple, just a cat scratch."
Seeing Tang Ze looking at him, Uei Naoki quickly replied, "The cat that hid in the utility room had its leg injured. I'm afraid the criminal was scratched by the cat while committing the crime and chased the cat away."
"Then where's the culprit? Who is it?!"
Hanaya Toshio's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed Uei Naoki's shoulders and said excitedly: "Who killed Yuko!!"
Facing the pleading look from Naoki Kamii, Tang Ze slowly pointed at one of the three men.
