This was just a minor incident, and apart from Guangyou and a few others involved, no one else noticed it.
“That’s right. After the murderer put the body on the roof of the car, he pretended to be looking for Ms. Taimi and got into the car with us.” “Professor Agasa” continued.
"Then, on the way to the top of the mountain, they let the body on the roof of the car fall onto the road."
"Professor Agasa, how did the murderer manage to move Ms. Taimi's body onto the roof of the car without attracting anyone's attention?"
Inspector Megure had his own thoughts on this issue, and he speculated:
"Did the murderer wrap Miss Taimei's body in that mat and then carry it upstairs?"
This was the idea he had when he saw the mat.
However, at that time he did not know that the body had been on the roof of the car from the beginning.
Based solely on his experience, he guessed that the murderer had chosen to wrap Shirafuji Yasumi's body in a cushion to avoid attracting attention.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong this time.
“Inspector Megure, the killer didn’t actually move the body at all,” Mitsuyu said. “That mat served another purpose.”
"No body has been moved?" Inspector Megure paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I understand."
"The murderer killed Ms. Tai Mei on the roof of the car."
“That’s absolutely right.” Kwang-yu nodded and continued, “The method the murderer used to kill Tae-mi might be…”
"Please ask her to climb onto the roof and wipe the stains off the sunroof."
"Then he quietly walked up behind Tae-mi and struck her head hard with a blunt object like a stone, killing her."
As he spoke, Kwang-yu's gaze lingered on the murderer for a moment longer.
He noticed a subtle change in the killer's expression after he said those words.
The murderer became somewhat flustered.
It's probably because the murderer didn't expect anyone to guess the method of the crime.
However, the killer quickly regained his composure.
Because the murderer knew that if he revealed his true colors at this moment, it would be tantamount to confessing without being asked.
Therefore, no matter how flustered you are inside, you must not show it on your face.
However, emotions are not so easy to suppress; it's better if you've been trained.
But the murderer...
To put it bluntly, the murderer was just an ordinary person.
Even though the murderer tried to suppress it, a trace of it still inadvertently slipped out.
And this was exactly what Guangyou saw.
"The evidence is a dark red stripe on the skylight glass," Professor Agasa said slowly.
"If that's the case, then..." Inspector Megure already knew what it was.
"That's right, those are the bloodstains left in the corner after the murderer killed Ms. Taimi, bloodstains that the murderer didn't wipe away." Dr. Agasa directly confirmed his guess.
"But what method can we use to make Taimi's body fall exactly in that spot?" Fukuura Reiji looked up at Professor Agasa and asked.
"We were all in this car at the time."
“Rin…Rinji…” Iai Takuto recalled what had happened before, paused slightly, and then said to Fukuura Reiji.
"I remember you braked suddenly to avoid some wooden fences scattered on the road above you, and you even fished out, right?"
"Yeah, so what?" Fukuura Reiji didn't understand what Iiji Takuto meant.
"I see." Inspector Megure understood. Seeing that Reiji Fukuura still looked confused, he explained it to him.
"Using the reaction force generated during emergency braking, the body on the roof of the car was thrown over the guardrail, and the body then landed on the road below."
“This…” Fukuura Reiji suddenly felt something was wrong.
“The wooden fence placed on the road is a marker for the brakes,” Inspector Megure continued to explain. “By doing this, we can ensure that Ms. Taimi’s body falls into the desired location.”
"I..." Fukuura Reiji's sense of unease grew stronger.
“That way we can find the body on the way back.” Inspector Megure put on a stern face and scrutinized Reiji Fukuura with a cold gaze.
"Wait...wait a minute!" Fukuura Reiji naturally knew that he was being treated as a suspect, so he quickly defended himself.
"Aren't there many sharp turns before we get to that section of road?"
"If the body hadn't been secured with something, it would have fallen long ago."
"Did you find traces of tape or rope on Taimi's body?"
"Well..." Inspector Megure didn't know what to say for a moment.
Indeed, Reiji Fukuura's words make sense.
If nothing had been used to secure it, the body would have fallen long ago.
“The rope…” Ayumi frowned, trying to recall.
After a moment, Ayumi's eyebrows relaxed, and she said, "I remember now! That lady's belt had a lot of tassels that looked like ropes!"
“It seems there really is.” Genta thought for a moment and then agreed.
“But those tassels are too short, and there’s nothing on the roof to secure them.” Mitsuhiko was puzzled.
"How exactly do I use it?"
“You guys probably didn’t notice, did you?” Guangyou glanced at the three of them and said.
"Only one of the tassels on her belt had a knot tied at the front end."
"That knot?" Inspector Megure also saw it, but he didn't suspect anything. "I thought it was just a recent trend."
He didn't understand this kind of thing, so he didn't think too much about it.
