The murderer is you
"Mr. Kurosawa's pupils become dilated in the dark, which is indeed a symptom of myopia." Morofushi Kagemitsu refuted Mamiya Mayuko. Kurosawa Osamu was indeed nearsighted, and it seemed that he was severely myopic. He could only see people clearly if they stood close to him in front of him.
In this case, there is absolutely no way that the imprisoned Kurosawa Osamu could escape from that place, so the murderer is definitely not him.
The three-choice situation really appeared. Qi Ning, Wang Yue and the others looked at each other tacitly, feeling in their hearts that it was worthy of being called Ke.
"I got up at around seven in the morning. The doctor was still doing experiments in the laboratory at that time. I can testify to the doctor that he was indeed in the laboratory at that time. Who else could it be but the two of them?" Mayuko Mamiya was not determined to accuse the Kurosawa couple, but she was sure that she was not the murderer. At the time of the deceased's death, she saw Masato Shiomi doing experiments in the laboratory, so it must be one of Kurosawa Osamu and Kurosawa Misaki.
"Ms. Mamiya, are you sure that you saw Mr. Shiomi himself? You didn't touch Mr. Shiomi or talk to him at that time, right?" Kenji Hagiwara asked for confirmation.
"That's true, so what?" Mayuko Mamiya didn't believe these people could make excuses. What she saw was an indisputable fact.
"Could it be that the person Mayuko Mamiya saw wasn't the real person?" Qi Ning was surprised. This really surprised her. Who else could it be if not the real person? Someone pretending to be her or a projection? No, projection technology wasn't common yet, and she hadn't seen any projection equipment.
"Who else could it be if not me? I was indeed doing experiments in the laboratory at that time. Is there anyone here who could pretend to be me?" Shiomi Masato also spoke up to defend himself at the right time.
"It's not a pretend, but a projection. This was originally an art gallery. Although it has been abandoned, the decorations inside have not been completely removed. When there are activities here, you can still see mirrors on the wall." This time it was Zhufu Jingguang who took over the topic, but he kept the answer in suspense before revealing it.
"And for the sake of lighting, this art museum originally designed a strategy of using mirrors to refract light. This was told to us by Miss Mamiya Mayuko." Date Ko continued with Morofushi Kagemitsu's words.
The onlookers were thoughtful. Could it be that the mirror here could make a person appear to be in one place, but actually be in another?
"That's right." Zhu Fujingguang was very happy that Wangyue could think clearly, and looked at Wangyue with appreciation and encouragement.
Only then did she realize that she had accidentally spoken out her true feelings. Wangyue felt a little embarrassed, but the embarrassment soon disappeared without a trace. After all, no one knew the fact that she had not originally wanted to say.
As long as someone didn't eavesdrop on the thoughts of the people present, Wangyue looked at Shiyu Yueling silently, but saw that she was watching the confrontation scene with interest, as if she was completely unaware of the mystery at the scene.
This shouldn't be the case. Given Yueyue's curiosity, she should have used magic long ago. Wangyue immediately realized something was wrong and turned to Qi Ning to discuss countermeasures.
However, the information that eyes can convey is really limited. Qi Ning couldn't fully interpret the message that Wangyue wanted to convey. With the important matter at hand, Wangyue had to give up temporarily.
"How is this possible? Can't I even tell the difference between a shadow in the glass and a real person?" Mayuko Mamiya sneered.
"Ms. Mayuko Mamiya had just woken up and was not fully awake. In addition, the art gallery was in darkness due to the power outage, and only dim lights were on in the laboratory. If some means were used, it would not be impossible to make Mr. Shiomi, who was at the crime scene, look like he was at the scene, just like now. Take another closer look, am I really at the scene?" Hagiwara Kenji said this. The people at the scene looked carefully and were surprised to find that the person they thought was at the scene was actually just a shadow reflected in a mirror.
"Because the lighting at the scene is dim, it is difficult to distinguish clearly with the naked eye." The real Hagiwara Kenji walked out from another place, and from where he was originally, Natalie waved the phone in her hand that was holding Moon in her hand to everyone.
Qi Ning and Wangyue Banyueyan, no wonder those guys just now asked them to borrow their cell phones, it turned out it was because of this.
"As long as we stick a layer of reflector on the glass, it will look like a mirror when viewed from the outside." Kenji Hagiwara returned the phone to Qi Ning and Mochizuki and explained the principle to everyone.
"So, the ghost we saw at the door is the same?" Ya Yulin understood. No wonder the ghost looked like it was floating away. It turned out to be just a projection from a distance.
"That's right. Miss Yaba Rin saw the other person walking to the left. After the mirror image was flipped, she should actually be walking to the right. We checked the end of the road that Miss Kurosawa Misaki was walking on, and there was a mirror there. There was also a mirror where she was standing that could reflect the image in the mirror at the end." Furuya Rei added that they were not talking nonsense, but had undergone rigorous calculations and verification.
"That road to the left leads to where Kurosawa Osamu is imprisoned, and to the right it leads to here." Matsuda Jinpei said. He was too lazy to explain so much to Mamiya Mayuko. In short, Kurosawa Osamu and Kurosawa Misaki had been excluded from the list of suspects long ago.
"Ms. Kurosawa Misaki was at the scene at the time, so she naturally does not need to be considered a suspect. Based on Ms. Yaba Rin's witness, Mr. Kurosawa Osamu who was on the other side at the time was also ruled out as a suspect. The only candidates left are Ms. Mamiya and Mr. Shiomi." Hagiwara Kenji integrated the information and stood in front of the remaining two suspects.
"It wasn't me!" Mayuko Mamiya immediately denied it, directing all her aggression towards Shiomi Masato: "You, Shiomi, why did you do that?"
"I should be the one asking you this, Mamiya. Why did you kill Ebina? You should have no grudge against him." Shiomi Masato was not to be outdone. At this time, you should put as much suspicion as possible on others.
"Stop pretending! You're the one who killed people. When you were building this art gallery, I heard that you owed the workers a large sum of money. When you divorced Kurosawa Misaki, she voluntarily left the house. Where did your money go? It's impossible to spend all your money just by building an art gallery." Mayuko Mamiya was sure that this was the reason why Masato Shiomi took action.
"I also heard that Ebina had a lot of money afterwards. What's the matter? Could it be that you were cheated by him, which led to the failure to complete the art museum on time, and even Kurosawa divorced you." Mayuko Mamiya's every word pierced people's hearts, and her arrogance was more justified than anyone else present.
"You must have a grudge against him too. You got an opportunity to go abroad before, and a foreign laboratory sent you an invitation to poach you from me. You were ready to resign from me, but that invitation letter was destroyed by Ebina." Shiomi Masato naturally knew some secrets that others didn't know, after all, they had worked together before.
"Huh? It was destroyed by that dead guy. Why? Why would he destroy other people's things?" Ya Yulin didn't expect that even at this time, there were still things at the scene that they didn't know about.
"That's because Ebina used to be Mamiya's fiancé, but Mamiya broke off the engagement." Shiomi Masato said this indifferently, without considering Mayuko Mamiya sitting opposite him at all, making her face turn green.
"I had received an invitation from abroad and was about to go abroad, but he insisted that I stay in the country. Such a person is hindering my future, so of course I have to break up with him." Mayuko Mamiya did not deny that she did so at the time and did not regret it at all.
"It's more than that." Shiomi Masato, relentless, chased after him and continued to chop. "Back then, Ebina's salary was pitifully low, and you've criticized him for it more than once. So when you broke up, it was probably because you despised him for not having money. It's only natural that you two would become enemies over this. It's not impossible that you'd end up arguing and accidentally killing someone if you see him again."
"But the deceased had no fatal injuries." Matsuda Jinpei threw out another message. He stood up and said, "The deceased has lost vital signs. We examined all the wounds on the deceased's body and found no fatal injuries. In other words, the cause of death is unknown. And the place where we found the deceased was not the original crime scene."
"I just went to the deceased's room and took a look. The real first crime scene should be the house where the deceased lived. However, there was no bloodstain at the scene. But we found something else." Kenji Hagiwara took out a computer, opened it and showed the contents.
"Moreover, this contains the murderer's real motive for killing people." Hagiwara Kenji was very confident that the murderer would have no way to defend himself and could only plead guilty.
"What is this?" Mayuko Mamiya rushed over to take a look, and saw an open document on it, an account book that recorded income and expenditure, as well as purchase and sale information.
As an assistant, Mayuko Mamiya naturally understood what was written on it. She covered her mouth in shock and looked at Shiomi Masato in disbelief: "You're actually selling items not for sale from the laboratory privately. Don't you know that those items are strictly controlled and not allowed to enter the market?"
"Is this the reason why Mr. Shiomi killed people?" Date Ko asked the silent Shiomi Masato.
"Makes sense." Shi Yuyueling nodded, then said, "The deceased discovered what you were doing and blackmailed you into giving you your money. However, his investment income wasn't very high after that, and he should have spent all his money by now, so he came back to you."
"I admit that I did sell things that are not allowed to be sold privately, but I don't admit that I killed anyone. You are slandering me like this, do you have any evidence?" Shiomi Masato will not cry until he sees the coffin. He is worthy of being a person who has seen big scenes. He is not anxious at all about the current situation, and there is not even a panic on his face.
"We do have the evidence you want." Matsuda Jinpei pinched a strip of cloth through his handkerchief. To be more precise, it was the part of the cloth that had been snagged off by a sharp object. "I found this on that beam, and there are signs of human activity on it. That's where you moved the body and hung it up to fake the scene, right, Mr. Shiomi?"
"There is another ventilation duct in the place where Kurosawa Osamu is imprisoned, which should lead to another place. The second figure that Kurosawa Osamu saw at that time should be you, right?" Ya Yulin now feels that the reasoning of the police academy team is very reasonable and the logic is self-consistent.
"Why do you keep wearing the white coat you wear when doing experiments? Is it because your clothes are torn? Mr. Shiomi, do you dare to let us see?" Zhu Fujingguang asked while taking notes.
Masato Shiomi stood there in silence, and after a moment he took off his white coat. There was indeed a hook on his trousers. As long as the police compared it with the thing found by Jinpei Matsuda, they could identify him as the murderer.
"Indeed, I killed him. You guessed it right. He discovered my reselling activities and used it to threaten me, which caused my capital chain to break and the art gallery to be delayed. I didn't have time to spend more time with Misaki, so I wanted to give her an art gallery to run. I didn't expect that my goal would be achieved, and Misaki divorced me."
"But I didn't expect that after so many years, he would come back again. At that time, he approached me in the name of a partner and threatened me. Now he is asking me for so much money. I have nothing left, and he wants to take away the only thing I have! He wants me to transfer this art gallery to him!" Shiomi Masato finally tore off his false calm face and shouted with his eyes wide open.
"So I killed him, but not instantly. I injected him with something I had just researched, which put him into suspended animation. Then I left wounds on his body and used the fish scales I had been researching to disguise myself as a mermaid. I killed him while he was still alive, leaving him hanging there and then slowly dying. Hahahaha, maybe his brain isn't even dead yet, so he can only live and endure the pain, just like me!"
No one had expected Shiomi Masato to be so ruthless as to watch him go mad. Upon hearing that the brain of a deceased person might still be alive, Furuya Rei immediately asked, "Is there an antidote for what you made?"
"You still want to save him?" Xi Jian Yaren sneered, his eyes vicious as he said, "Don't dream, his body is already dead. The medicine I made can only keep his brain alive, forever."
