Chapter 564: The Fake Detective Resurrected with Full Health
After listening to Kiri Tengu's report, Jiang Xia glanced at the not-so-obvious dark circles under Amuro Toru's eyes and asked the boss to come in and take a look at the body. He also told Amuro Toru what happened in the meditation room tonight.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xia whispered the story of "Vodka tricking innocent peripheral members into eating cookies". After all, from the perspective of "Jiang Xia persecuted by unscrupulous cadres", his memory before waking up should still be in Vodka's room. Such an important matter cannot be treated as nothing happened.
Of course Toru Amuro knew about this and had heard the "cause and effect" from Vodka.
The murder had already happened at this time, and he didn't say much. He just nodded to indicate that he understood.
Then he quickly focused his attention on the current case - he didn't expect that what Vodka said before was not wrong, there really were murders here, and two of them.
Amuro Toru looked at the corpse and said sleepily, "Let's find the murderer first." Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest...
After saying that, he was about to go to the meditation room to check the situation and look for clues.
However, before he could turn around, Jiang Xia's voice came from the side: "The murderer is probably Mr. Mifune."
Toru Amuro: "...?"
He was stunned for a moment.
The others were also stunned.
Then they all turned their heads and looked at Ryuji Mifune, the photographer who ran a cosplay shop.
Toru Amuro glanced at the photographer, then remembered something, put on gloves, picked up the phone on the ground, and looked at the sending time.
From the time the suspicious email appeared and the two bodies were discovered until now, less than five minutes have passed.
Two secret rooms, seemingly confusing clues, and a large number of suspects... Has Jiang Xia found the answer?
Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, recalling the series of events he and Jiang Xia had encountered recently.
The first one was a disguised car accident. At that time, Jiang Xia's speed of solving the case was slightly faster than normal. After that, the two met Rum, and Jiang Xia chose to "restrain" at his reminder. Then, because of the misunderstanding, Jiang Xia was still restraining his reasoning in the vampire villa later.
Until now, without any interference factors, Toru Amuro finally recalled Jiang Xia's terrifying speed in solving cases, which was as fast as announcing the answer, and the reason why he had previously suspected that he was "Uzo".
...No matter how many times you watch it, the speed of solving the case, which seems to skip the problem-solving process, is still unimaginably fast.
In addition, this comparison shows how great an impact the previous car accident had on Jiangxia - compared to now, Jiangxia's case-solving speed at that time was simply a snail's pace.
...A genius. I just don't know if he is a genius at instigating crime or a genius at solving crimes.
Come to think of it, by this standard, vodka is not the wrong drug for intoxicating people.
"..." Toru Amuro's thoughts wandered briefly, but he quickly came back to his senses and cut off the idea of this dangerous organizational style.
He temporarily put aside the doubt that had been bothering him for a long time, "Was the case solved quickly or was it planned?" and following Jiang Xia's words, he looked at Mifune Ryuji who was at the door.
The photographer obviously didn't expect that Jiang Xia would suddenly call out his name.
He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, revealing an awkward smile: "Are you still asleep? For example, you dreamed of me killing someone, so you accidentally confused the two..."
The young detective glanced at his calf. "You smell a little bit of red wine. When everyone gathered next to the meditation room just now, you came relatively late... Judging from the state of the red wine spilled on the coffee table, you are likely to have poisonous wine stains on your body. This is evidence that you were with Mr. Hirasaka before his death."
Ryuji Mifune's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly lowered his head and followed Jiang Xia's gaze to look at his trouser legs.
However, I found that the place was clean, without any moisture stains or signs of discoloration due to the red wine drying.
“…”
Is this detective trying to trick him?
How insidious! I almost got fooled...
Mifune Ryuji's mood was like a roller coaster ride, lifted up and then dropped suddenly. He took a moment to relax, and was about to take a deep breath and calmly deny it.
But before he could refute, a scream suddenly came from the side.
——When he turned around, he saw Izumi Maho covering her mouth and staring at his collar.
The others also looked over and were startled.
——Looking closely, there were indeed some mottled red spots on Mifune Ryuji's collar and tie. However, they were the same color as the tie, and the light in the corridor was dim, so they were ignored by the flustered crowd.
In the dead silence, Jiang Xia's voice sounded again: "First, bring the poisoned red wine to the study to talk to Mr. Hirasaka. After poisoning him, you will get the key to this study and the meditation room from him.
"Then go to the meditation room and kill Miss Utakura Akiko. Then take down the poster in the meditation room..."
Having said this, Jiang Xia paused briefly.
——Miss Spider suddenly jumped off his shoulder, and the mermaid swam towards Vodka in surprise——When facing ordinary people, Vodka seemed a little more irritable than expected. At this moment, he was staring at Ryuji Mifune quietly, and his whole body exuded the smell of vanilla ice cream.
Jiang Xia: “…”
I shouldn't have eaten dinner so perfunctorily. I'm so hungry...
However, there are still many people staring at him.
Jiang Xia had no choice but to return his thoughts to the "midnight snack" and try to speed up the progress of solving the case:
“After taking down those huge posters of different sizes, roll them up tightly and finally tie several of different lengths together to make a sturdy ‘ladder’.
"After killing Miss Utakura, locking the door of the meditation room, and setting up the window-closing mechanism using the existing reel in the meditation room, the murderer could step on the posters and escape from the high window.
“After climbing out of the window, use the rope tied to the poster to pull up the poster, take them, Utsukura Akiko’s cell phone, and the rope that killed Utsukura Akiko, and return to the study where Hirasaka Reiki is.
"After sending a group message saying 'Kira has been resurrected' using Akiko Utakura's phone, she left the phone and the rope next to Hirasaka's body. She then opened the drawer near the door.
"Then leave the study, lock the door, reach into the rolled-up hollow poster through the air vent above, let the key of this room slide into the drawer through the hollow passage, move the notebook next to it over to cover the key, and finally use the rolled-up poster to prop up the drawer to close it. The second secret room of 'Hirasaka Suicide' is now complete."
"In this way, we can create the illusion that 'Hirasaka killed Utakura Akiko using a closed room method and then committed suicide.' Although these methods sound a bit redundant, Hirasaka Reiki's identity as a 'fanatic fan' and a 'charlatan' can make this statement barely valid."
