Chapter 1913 1921 [Genuine Twins]
Fuwa Narumi was covered in cold sweat.
But she was an experienced police officer after all, so she quickly calmed down - she had destroyed the video and the script long ago, and what Jiang Xia said was just a speculation after all.
Although Jiang Xia was also present during the rehearsal and probably saw that page of the script, what the human eye sees cannot be considered solid physical evidence.
On the contrary, this murder of the tenant of Room 315 reminded Fuwa Narumi of something. She sneered and said, "Have you forgotten that after midnight, Room 315 will become a completely secret room, and the only secret passage is in Fugetsu Karen's room. Except for her and Hashimoto Maya, no one else can be the murderer."
Jiang Xia glanced at her: "The premise is that there is a real secret room there - I received your card last night, went to the yard, and received your guidance of "looking at the third floor" after midnight. At that time, all the rooms were dark, only one house was lit with a red light, and the "Santa Claus with a red beard" was standing by the window of the red room.
"There was only one room in the entire hotel with red lights. In a hurry, we mistakenly thought that the 'red-bearded Santa Claus' was in room 315, so we rushed back worried about the tenants living there."
When Miwako Sato heard this, she suddenly noticed something and blurted out, "'Mistakenly thought he was in Room 315'... Could it be that he wasn't actually in that room at the time? But I did see a shadow by the window of Room 315. And that shadow had clear details, it wasn't an illusion made of paper or something."
Jiang Xia sighed, "Room 315 is right in the middle of the corridor, and the floor here is very long. At the time, the surrounding houses were all dark, and there was no reference point, so the standard we used to identify Room 315 was the red light there."
"But then I felt something was wrong - the room seemed a little off..."
"It's a little off?" Suzuki Sonoko was rubbing her chin so hard that sparks flew off it, but she still couldn't follow the detective's train of thought. She had to use her imagination, "Did the earthquake deviate it? But I didn't feel any earthquake yesterday..."
"It's a little off the beaten track." Jiang Xia said, "So the red room with the light on at that time was not actually Room 315, but Room 314 next door - that happened to be the room where the police officer Fuwa was stationed."
The hotel manager was startled: "But the light in the room is normal white light."
Jiang Xia turned and looked at Izuka Saburo.
Izuka Saburo looked at him for a moment, then slowly remembered that when he came back here in the police car, Jiang Xia seemed to have asked him to help with something...
After thinking for a while, Izuka Saburo finally remembered. He went into the prop room and pressed the switch. Soon, the lights in the hall suddenly changed from the normal white light to a bright red.
Jiang Xia was not very satisfied with the reaction speed of this small version of Vodka, but when he remembered that the speed of the original version was just so-so, he immediately stopped caring about such a small matter.
Jiang Xia: “Just like stage lights can use red baffles to create the effects of fire and sunset – a similar effect can be created by sticking red transparent plastic on lights in ordinary rooms.
"Last night, Inspector Fuwa took advantage of Wen Yue Hua Lian's absence and sneaked into her room. He then went to Room 315 through a secret passage, attacked Mr. Kurosawa who was alone in the room, and took away the videotape that could serve as evidence of his crime.
"Then you continued to lurk in the room and attacked poor Mr. Hashimoto again. It was not yet 12 o'clock and the key card on Mr. Hashimoto still worked. So you searched for the key card, locked their door, and returned to your room.
"You covered the light in your room with a red film, and called me after the midnight bell rang, so that we could see the 'Santa Claus with a red beard' standing in the red room.
"Not only can this help us get rid of the witnesses who accidentally witnessed your crime, but we can also use that 'secret room' to frame Miss Hualian."
Naruto Fuwa felt a chill running down her back. Although she had heard of the name of this Tokyo detective a long time ago, she did not expect that he could reason things to this extent.
"Very interesting reasoning." She put it into words:
“But compared to these fancy operations, isn’t another line of reasoning simpler? The murderer is Wen Yue Hua Lian herself, who was able to pass through the secret passage.
"The so-called 'feeling that the room is tilted' is just your illusion. Using the light to change the color of the room is just your weird association! Don't forget, the last victim's fingernails contain Wen Yue Hua Lian's DNA, which is the irrefutable evidence of her crime."
Jiang Xia touched his chin, feeling that he had rarely encountered such a tenacious murderer recently: "DNA identification can indeed be used as ironclad evidence to identify the murderer, but there is one exception - identical twins."
He raised his head and looked at Fuwa Narumi's resolute face, which was like a man's. "So the DNA left on the last victim's hand was not left by Fumizuki Karen, but by you. That was your DNA."
"???"
The two sentences are easy to understand separately, but when put together, it is like a blockbuster bomb dropped into the lake.
Everyone felt that everything was beyond their understanding, especially Izuka Saburo, a fan of Bungetsu Karen.
Izuka Saburo said excitedly: "Are you saying that Miss Hualian and this Inspector Fuwa are actually identical twins?! - Don't be ridiculous, I would believe them if you said they are father and daughter!"
A murderous aura emanated from Naruto Fuwa.
As if he sensed something, Izuka Saburo shrank his neck timidly, hugged the photo of Wen Yue Hua Lian, and cautiously stopped talking.
The others couldn't help but nod their heads: Wen Yue Hua Lian has a soft and beautiful appearance. Even if we put aside her acting skills and just put her on the stage and leave her there, she would be an eye-catching and cute star.
But Narumi Fuwa... this inspector has an angular face and thick nose. Even if their appearance is affected by acquired factors and the twins look less and less alike, the difference would not be this great.
Jiang Xia looked at the information that Matsumoto Kiyonaga had sent him before: "Fuba Narumi should just be the identity you replaced. Your real name is Kitami Renko - the twin sister of Fugetsu Karen."
As if she had been hit in the vitals, Narumi Fuwa was stunned. She moved her lips but could not utter a word in rebuttal.
Jiang Xia: "You must have had plastic surgery to look like this, but even though your appearance has changed, some small habits are hard to change. I don't know if you've noticed that, like Miss Hualian, you hold a spoon in the same way you hold a knife.
"So when we were at the police station, I asked Officer Matsumoto to go to Room 314 and extract your DNA - your DNA is indeed exactly the same as Miss Hualian's."
