Chapter 1266 1274 [How did I die? ]
Jiang Xia noticed something and looked towards the door, only to see the door shaking slightly.
The others didn't notice Mao Lilan coming and going. Their attention was still on the so-called "corpse that walked from the warehouse to the swimming pool by itself."
Several high school students who had witnessed the "weird guy" turned pale: "Wait, you mean, the person we saw wearing a full set of protective gear and carrying a protective gear bag is actually a dead person? This... How is this possible! "
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment: "I just said that he will be a dead person in the future - the person you saw is actually a dead person who is still alive. Kendo protective gear also includes a mask. When it is worn to cover the face, it is difficult to distinguish the identity of the wearer."
Inspector Otaki was a little confused: "But before that, three people saw his body in the sports warehouse."
"They just stood at the door and looked from a distance, without going close to check whether he was dead or alive."
Jiang Xia said: "So the murderer probably put sleeping pills in Mr. Tsuri's drink to make him fall asleep, then took him to the sports warehouse, sprinkled fake red blood all over him, and inserted a 'bloodstained' real knife to disguise it as a 'crime scene'.
"After that, the murderer and two other people searched for the missing Tarumi Atsushi and found the sports warehouse. The light there was dim, and it was difficult to distinguish between real blood and fake blood. The other two thought that Mr. Tarumi was dead, so they were sent away by the murderer. One went to the police station, and the other naturally ran to the captain to report the situation.
"The murderer called an ambulance on his cell phone, then returned and woke up Tarumi Atsushi in the warehouse, asking him to cover the blood on his body and go to the swimming pool's locker room immediately."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Techuanjun was sweating profusely. "Everyone knows that Tarimi has a bad temper and won't listen to anyone. I don't have a good relationship with him, so how could he listen to me!"
Jiang Xia pointed in the direction of the annex: "Regarding this issue, why don't we go to the sports warehouse first and take a look."
…
The light in the sports warehouse of the annex was still very dim.
There seems to be no blood or corpse here, so it is still unclear whether this is the crime scene. Therefore, the police have not paid attention to this area for the time being and are mainly investigating the shower rooms in the swimming pool.
When they arrived at the warehouse, the two young police officers followed the detective's instructions and walked to the vaulting box where the "corpse" had been leaning, opened the lid and looked inside.
Then he exclaimed in shock, "Inspector, there's a body inside... inside!! It's a person named Hakamada!"
"……What?!"
Compared to Inspector Otaki, the reactions of the members of the nearby kendo club were much greater.
They turned their heads to look at their captain and instinctively took a few steps back, leaving a circle around the captain.
"..." The captain was also briefly stunned. After a moment, he came to his senses and frowned, "Impossible, I am Hakamada!"
...He was standing here just fine, how could he suddenly die?
Inspector Otaki looked at him puzzledly, then moved closer to the vaulting horse box and took a look inside.
A horrific looking corpse instantly caught his eye - inside the box, a person was lying face up, his body covered in horrible blood splatter. He was wearing a set of kendo protective gear, and on the cloth in front of him were two big characters written: "Hakamada".
The captain was really curious about why he died, so he walked over and looked inside.
After seeing the scene inside, he was stunned for a moment: "This is my drape! I suddenly couldn't find it just now, so I can only temporarily wear a pair without a name printed on it." He lowered his head and fiddled with the protective gear he was wearing, and there was indeed nothing written on it.
…
The scene was a bit scary, but Inspector Otaki had seen many corpses, so he was not scared.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached in and probed.
He originally wanted to confirm whether the person in the box was dead or alive. However, after probing, he was suddenly stunned: "This feeling... doesn't look like a human."
Jiang Xia: "It's a puppet used for first aid practice. It was dressed in protective gear and doused in fake blood to disguise itself as a corpse."
He looked at several members of the Kendo Club and said, "The relationship between the deceased and the captain must be very bad. I overheard you quarreling before. It seems that they had some friction in their relationship?"
"Indeed." The college student nodded. "Our former manager chose the captain, and after that, Tarimi has always disliked the captain, often saying things like 'I'm going to kill you sooner or later'. We were a little nervous at first, but later we just didn't bother to pay attention to him."
Jiang Xia nodded and continued, "The murderer sent the other two people away, and when he returned to the warehouse, he stuffed the bloody knife into Chui Jian's hand. Then he woke him up in a panic and showed him the 'corpse' in the vault box, making Chui Jian think that he had killed someone by mistake after getting drunk.
"Turi already had a grudge against the captain, and since he had just woken up and his mind was still unclear, he really thought he had killed someone, and had no time to check whether the person in the box was a real person or a doll.
"At this time, the murderer only needs to pretend to be enthusiastic and suggest that he 'put on protective gear to conceal his identity, take the blood-stained clothes and the murder weapon to the locker room of the swimming pool, wash off the blood and then sneak away', and he can make Tarimi willingly take the evidence and go to the swimming pool by himself.
“In this way, witnesses outside who see Tarimiya wearing protective gear will mistakenly believe that the murderer killed Tarimiya and carried the body to the swimming pool in a protective gear bag.
"When Chui Mi hurriedly changed his clothes and headed for the swimming pool, the murderer only needed to go there in advance and ambush, and he could kill people in the chaos. Then he put the body under the shower head and poured hot water on it, so that he could wash off the paint and confuse the real time of death. After that, the murderer hid the protective gear worn by the deceased in a safe place, and then went to the police station to find Men Gu, so that he could make a so-called alibi.
“With an alibi, the murderer can serve as a witness and temporarily escape the police’s sight.
"His original plan was to come to the sports warehouse to retrieve the fake body in the vaulting box, and then smear the real blood left on the vaulting box to pretend that there was really a body in the warehouse. But..."
Inspector Otaki was shocked by this daring method.
Then he felt somewhat relieved: Fortunately, everything happened so quickly that he didn't let those people from the Kendo Club leave.
In this case...
"Search the locker room and warehouse immediately to find the protective gear bag!" He directed his subordinates, then looked at Otegawa Jun, "Mr. Otegawa, can we check your protective gear bag?"
“…”
There was a thud as someone knelt down.
This was followed by the sound of a fist slamming to the ground: "Damn it!"
Otegawa Shun was very confident before and never thought that such an ingenious plan would be exposed. Therefore, after a quick review, he knew how many clues he had left behind in the process.
