Chapter 156: The Murderer of the Zhenben Family

On Sunday, June 30th, I was on the cruise ship of Yumoto’s family.

At around 4:00 p.m., the cruise ship arrived at Suimoto Island. Police Department Megure, who arrived one step earlier, immediately led the police to board the cruise ship, and met Yamazaki, Sonoko, Ran and Butler Suzuki who came to pick them up.

"You are Butler Suzuki," Megure Police Department asked, "Why last night..."

Butler Suzuki bowed deeply and said, "I'm very sorry."

"Come with me, Megure Police Department." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Yamazaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Butler Suzuki led Megure Police Department to Mori's room. Mori was sitting behind a desk with his back to everyone, Ms. Mariko and his wife, Mr. Ichiro, Mr. Shoji, Ms. Akie, Mr. Ryuro, and Mei Daiko were already sitting on the sofa in front of the desk. caught.

"Please sit down, Meguro Police Department," Mao Li said to the Megure Police Department who came in without looking back, "My reasoning show can start when you come."

"Push, reasoning show?" Mumu Police Department felt a little confused about the situation.

Miss Qiu Jiang asked: "So, do you know who attacked Grandpa?"

"Didn't you say it was Xiao Wu?" Mr. Long Lang said, "Find him quickly."

"Don't worry, Mr. Longlang, after listening to my reasoning, you can find Mr. Xiaowu immediately." Maori asked, "However, before we start, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask me?" Mr. Long Lang asked, "What's the question?"

Maori asked, "Which number do you think you are?"

Mr. Long Lang immediately replied with a smile, "Of course it's the third one."

"What number?" Miss Qiujiang asked back.

Megure Police Department asked: "Maori, what are you talking about?"

Ms. Mariko asked, "What do you mean?"

"That's a good answer," Maori said, "You really think so."

Seeing that Mr. Long Lang's face changed, Miss Qiu Jiang asked: "Long Lang, what is the third one, what are you talking about?"

"We are talking about the order of being killed, or the order of killing, right?" Maori said, "Mr. Ryuro who opened the warehouse door."

"I, I..." Mr. Long Lang's face turned completely pale.

"The order of killing and killing?" Mumu Police Department asked back in surprise.

"Ms. Akie, a weak girl who is alone, ranks first, Mr. Ichiro, who likes to paint and looks weak, ranks second, Mr. Ryuro, who is not very strong, ranks third, and Mr. Shouji, a tall and strong man, ranks fourth. The two are basically inseparable. Ms. Mariko and his wife are put last," Mouri said, "This is the order of killing in Mr. Ryuro's mind according to the difficulty of killing."

"What!" Miss Qiu Jiang asked, "Long Lang, is it true that you let him out to kill me?"

"No, it's not." Long Lang quickly argued, "I never thought of killing you."

"Didn't you think about killing me?" Miss Qiujiang said, "You can't even speak now, it seems that you let him out." Then she smiled, "This is good, this is very good, if this is the case, there is no need for a divorce." Here's your money."

"It's impossible," Mr. Long Lang shouted, "I won't leave the money to you and that man outside."

"What?" Miss Qiu Jiang shouted, "You, you investigate me!"

"Cough! The problems between you and your wife will be solved slowly in the future.

Let's move on to the incident on the ship. Maori said, "Let's think about it now. First of all, the door of Mr. Hozo's room was closed, and there was blood on the frame under the door. That is to say, Mr. Hozo was stabbed in front of the door of the room, and Butler Suzuki also picked up a pearl on the carpet in front of the door. "

"Yes, you are right," Mr. Long Lang said, "The pearl belongs to Xiaowu, so of course he is the murderer."

"However, this is strange. The blood on the carpet in front of the door has been wiped. It is understandable if the murderer ran away in a hurry without seeing the pearls fall, but the murderer wiped the place before leaving. " Mao Li said, "And when the murderer knelt down to wipe the carpet, it is impossible not to see the reflection of the pearls. So I think the murderer left the pearls there on purpose and wanted to frame Mr. Xiao Wu."

Miss Qiu Jiang said: "Maybe, that pearl fell when Xiao Wu squatted down and wiped the carpet."

"I don't think the pearls would fall off so casually." Maori said, "However, I think it's better to ask him to explain why the pearls fell."

"I?" Ms. Mariko said, "Could it be that he was found?"

"Come out, Mr. Wu." Maori said loudly.

Mr. Xiao Wu came out of the closet, and Ms. Qiu Jiang immediately asked, "Xiao Wu, why did you come out of the warehouse? To kill me?"

"No...no," Mr. Xiao Wu said quickly, "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I found the door was open, so I came out. Then I fell asleep under the table in the dining room, and when I was eating in the kitchen, I was caught Mr Maury found out."

Mr. Xianger asked, "What happened to the pearl?"

Mr. Xiao Wu replied: "The pearl was dropped when Grandpa grabbed my tie and pulled me out the door."

"Is it Dad?" Mr. Xianger asked again, "Xiao Wu, is what you said true?"

"It's true." Mr. Xiao Wu said.

"This is verifiable," Mori asked, "Megure Police Department, can someone please check the fingerprints on the necktie and the clip to see if there are Mr. Gozo's fingerprints?"

Megure Police Department said: "There is no problem."

Morley asked, "I suppose Mr. Howard wasn't interested in that tie pin before?"

Mr. Xianger said: "Father doesn't like these Western-style things."

"Xia Jiang bought this for Xiao Wu." Miss Qiu Jiang said.

Mr. Xiao Wu took off his tie and handed it to the forensic personnel.

Mr. Long Lang said: "Maybe it was Grandpa who stabbed Xiao Wu when he dragged him out."

"Mr. Haozhao was stabbed at the door. His wound was on the back. He was lying in the room. There was only a small amount of blood on the carpet in front of the door, which was not easy to see after being wiped." Maori said, "If Mr. Xiao Wu stabbed Mr. Hao Zou when he was going out, then Mr. Hao Zou should have been lying outside the door. Even if he was pushed back to the room by Mr. Xiao Wu, there should be something on the carpet outside the door." There was more blood left."

Mr. Long Lang said again: "Then Xiao Wu assassinated Grandpa while he was returning to his room."

"I think the situation at that time was like this. While talking about Mr. Xiaowu, Mr. Haozhe grabbed his tie and dragged him out of the door. Of course, Mr. Haozhe also stood outside the door, and then He continued to talk about Mr. Xiaowu, while admiring the way Mr. Xiaowu ran away." Maori said, "So when Mr. Haozo turned back to the room, Mr. Xiaowu had no time to turn around and assassinate him."

"If this is the case, then you should be able to hear the screams of Dad when he was hit by the knife," Mr. Xianger asked, "Xiao Wu, why didn't you turn around?"

"I, I didn't hear it." Mr. Xiao Wu said.

"What?" Mr. Xiang Er asked angrily.

"Mr. Xianger, you don't have to blame Mr. Xiaowu," Mao Li said, "Because he was exposed because of his concealed identity, and Mr. Hozo's accusations, he was in a trance, so that he didn't hear it at all. He should have heard the voice." Then he asked. said, "Is that so?"

"Yes," Mr. Xiao Wu quickly replied, and then added, "My mind was in a mess, and I didn't come back to my senses until around seven o'clock."

"So, Mr. Mori," Mr. Shoji asked, "if the murderer is not Takeshi, who is the real murderer, Ryuu?"

"It's you." Mr. Long Nan called, "I just opened the warehouse."

"Okay," Miss Qiujiang called, "You..."

"Cough!" Mumu Police Department said, "Please be quiet."

"Before I tell who it is, I want to ask," Maori asked, "Mr. Murderer, are you not going to surrender yourself now?" The murder weapon is very confident."

"Hey, hello, Maori," Megure Police Department asked, "Don't you even know what the murder weapon is?"

"Yes, Megure Police Department, even now, I'm just speculating." Mao Li said, "After my investigation, I found that at that time, the only sharp weapon that could be accessed on the ship was the set of knives brought by Mr. Shoji."

"Ah, so that's Shoji?" Ms. Mariko asked.

Xiang Er said, "Don't talk nonsense, sister."

"I think what really triggered this incident was the narration that Ms. Akie said yesterday afternoon," Mori said, "At that time, Ms. Mariko and his wife, Mr. Ichiro, Ms. Akie and Mr. Ryuro heard the narration. "

Ms. Mariko asked: "Ah, how did you know about this?"

"I said it," Yamazaki said. "At that time, Mei Daizi also heard the story. She wanted to tell Miss Xia Jiang, but Miss Xia Jiang didn't want to hear it, so Mei Daizi didn't say it. So she was with us at the time. Yes, Mr. Xiang'er doesn't know."

"Later until the incident, Mr. Shoji didn't know the story, so his motivation was insufficient." Maori said, "Mr. Shoji, please take out your precious knife."

"Huh? Okay." Mr. Shoji opened the knife box that he had brought with him when he came over.

"Mr. Xianger brought this set of knives to the restaurant after using it in the kitchen, so he was the only one who did this when there was no one in the kitchen. Otherwise, during that time, no one could touch his precious knives "Mao Li said, "Now there are a lot of knives and they have not been disposed of. It can be seen that the murder weapon is not the only sharp weapon that can be accessed on this ship."

The Mumu Police Department asked: "What is the murder weapon?"

"Megure Police Department," Mori asked, "Have you been to the hospital, what shape is Mr. Hozo's wound?"

"Huh? Well," after thinking for a while, Megure Police Department said, "By the way, Mr. Hozo's wound is very strange, it is a cone-shaped wound."

"Sure enough." Mao Li said, "Then, before telling the murder weapon, please let me tell the story of the incident first, so that you can believe it."

"What do you believe?" Meguro Police Department asked.

"The truth, the only truth," Maori replied. Then he said, "I think the course of the incident is like this. After seeing Mr. Xiaowu leave, Mr. Haozhao turned around and went back to the room, when he was attacked from behind by the murderer. Immediately pushed Mr. Haozhao into the room, and then closed the door. So what Mr. Xiao Wu heard at that time was the sound of closing the door heavily, and that was the sound that should have been there, and it was impossible to wake up Mr. Xiao Wu who was absent-minded. "

"But, there may have been this voice." Mr. Xiao Wu said after trying to recall.

"The murderer squatted down and wiped the blood on the carpet, and found the pearl at the same time, so he decided to leave the pearl there and use it as a tool to blame Mr. Xiao Wu." Mao Li said, "However, the murderer also left some things behind."

Mr. Long Nan asked, "What is it?"

"Bread crumbs," said Maori.

"What?" Miss Qiu Jiang smiled, "We'll have bread that night, okay?"

"So, Ms. Qiujiang," Mao Li asked, "when you eat western food, do you let bread crumbs fall on you?"

"How is that possible?" Miss Qiu Jiang exclaimed.

Mr. Long Lang smiled and said, "It's very possible."

"It's still possible," said Maury, "but I've found a man who's bound to drop crumbs..."

"Okay," a voice sounded in the room, "I admit defeat."

"Huh? Who?" Ms. Mariko stood up and looked around.

"It's me, Mom," said Mr. Ichiro.

"Ichiro?" Mr. Hokuro and Ms. Mariko exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" Mr. Xianger, Ms. Qiujiang and Mr. Longlang exclaimed in surprise.

"No way." Lan and Yuanzi exclaimed in surprise.

"Before Mr. Hozo was assassinated, Mr. Ichiro was always drawing, and he used charcoal to draw, and he chose bread as an eraser when drawing with charcoal. Therefore, Mr. Ichiro There will be bread crumbs, and because Mr. Ichiro is often covered with bread crumbs, he does not care about the bread crumbs on his body like other people, so he will fall to the ground when attacking Mr. Hao Zou and squatting down to wipe the ground. "Maori said, "If you check it, you can also check that there is charcoal on the bread crumbs, but this is not evidence, because Mr. Ichiro has also been there afterwards."

"It seems that I am a little impatient." Mr. Ichiro said with emotion.

"Ichiro." Ms. Mariko shouted worriedly.

"I'm fine, Mom." Patting Ms. Mariko on the shoulder, Mr. Ichiro said, "Grandpa is not dead."

"How do you know?" Meguro Police Department asked.

Mr. Ichiro said: "When I stabbed him, I knew that he would not die, and I never thought of killing him."

"Then why did you close the door?" Miss Qiujiang asked.

"I wiped the blood and closed the door to make Grandpa bleed more," Mr. Ichiro said, "It's a lot of rest."

Mr. Xiao Wu asked angrily: "Then why did you blame me?"

"Mr. Takehiko Caishiro," Mr. Ichiro asked back, "isn't it right to blame you?"

"Then why did you stab Dad?" Mr. Xianger asked.

"This..." Mr. Ichiro said with some embarrassment.

Maori said, "It's for..."

"It's for the property," said Yamazaki, "so that his father, Mr. Hokuro, can take over the position of Mr. Gozo." Then he asked, "Is that so, Mr. Ichiro?"

"Yes, yes." Mr. Ichiro said.

"Hey, Maori," Meguro Police Department asked, "What is the murder weapon?"

"It's what Mr. Ichiro used to draw." Mori said, "a charcoal pencil."

"What?" Mumu Police Department and others exclaimed in surprise.

"Mr. Mori's reasoning is not wrong at all," said Mr. Ichiro. "I stabbed Grandpa with a sharpened charcoal pencil."

"On this matter, we only need to examine Mr. Hao Zou's wound, and we will have a result." Maori said, "Of course, this charcoal pencil should be missing now."

"Yes," said Mr. Ichiro, "last night, when I came out to greet Miss Mei Daizi, I took the opportunity to throw it into the sea." Then he asked, "Mr. Mori, I would like to ask a question, that is... "

"I want to ask if you don't come out and admit it, how can you prove that you are the murderer, right?" Maori said, "It's very simple, let them sharpen the charcoal pencil, not everyone can sharpen the charcoal pencil in the shape of the wound."

"I see, I'm convinced." Mr. Ichiro said.

Mr. Xianger asked: "By the way, Mr. Maori, are you here to investigate us?"

"Yes, I was hired by Mr. Howard to investigate what you will do after knowing that he has made a decision on the property." Maori said, "It seems that you have taken precautions now, So I didn't find anything of value."

"Of course, Dad doesn't like detectives the most." Mr. Xianger asked with a smile, "Now a detective suddenly appeared in front of us all, how could it not arouse suspicion?"

Megure Police Department said: "Okay, Mr. Ichiro Ichiro, please come with us."

"Ichiro!" Mr. Beilang and his wife shouted worriedly.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine." Mr. Ichiro said, "Let's go, Megure Police Department."...
