Chapter 144 The Confusing Murderer
Everyone rushed to the annex and knocked on Bingshi Yisheng's door, but no one came to open it. They turned the handle, but the door was locked from the inside.
You also waved his hand: "Get out of the way!"
After everyone stepped back, Youya took a deep breath, then raised his foot and gave a fierce side kick.
"what!"
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
Shiratori Renzaburo was shocked, and the others were also shocked.
Only then did they remember that the young high school detective in front of them seemed to be a karate master.
After the door was kicked open, the situation in the room was revealed to everyone.
Himuro Kazusei was still wearing his home clothes, but now he was lying on the table, motionless, and had no reaction to the people who broke into the room.
There is a pen in the right hand, and next to it is a cup of coffee and a piece of paper with long content printed on it.
Yuya stepped forward and checked his neck, then shook his head and sighed, "He's dead. The body must have been dead for more than three hours due to rigor mortis."
"Officer Shiratori, look at this..." At this time, Mari Tamura suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned around and followed the direction of her finger and found a key dropped on the carpet.
Shiratori Renzaburo walked over, put on gloves and picked up the key. After a little thought, he tried it on the door and it worked.
"That's right, it's the key to this room." Shiratori Renzaburo nodded at Youye, then put the key back in its place.
Yuya lowered his head thoughtfully, picked up the paper and began to read it, his eyes suddenly widened.
"What's written?" Shiratori Renzaburo walked over and asked.
"The suicide note is a suicide note. It turns out the fake Himuro's real name is Mizusawa Shozo."
What was printed on the paper was the autobiography of the fake Himuro Kazusei, that is, Mizusawa Shozo.
Ten years ago, Shozo Mizusawa worked as an art director in a film and television company. Yosuke Minamikawa and Daisuke Takamoto were his colleagues, and Kaori Mitsuka was a new actor.
They were collecting materials in the village and happened to find the fallen bus.
They found the body of Kazusei Himuro at the scene, and Mizusawa Shozo looked very similar to Kazusei Himuro. Under the temptation of huge profits, they hid his body.
Over the years, Mizusawa Shozo has been guarding the body of Himuro Kazusei while impersonating him and slowly transferring assets.
After so many years, Mizusawa Masazo finally couldn't bear the guilt in his heart, and decided to make up for the mistakes he made. He killed Minamikawa Yosuke, Takamoto Daisuke and Mitsuka Kaori one by one, and finally committed suicide to atone for his sins to the long-dead Himuro Kazusei.
"This is how it happened." Shiratori Renzaburo sighed, looked at the burns on Mizusawa Masazo's face, raised his hand and slowly tore it off, revealing his complete profile.
···
Shiratori Jinzaburo took the others out of the room and contacted the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, who told him that the snow would stop in about three hours, but it would be dark by then.
They will first send out a snow-clearing team to work overnight, and then after dawn the next day, if the weather is clear, they will send a helicopter to take over the scene.
Just at this time, the car accident information that Shiratori Jinzaburo asked him to investigate was sent via fax.
He took a look and found Yuya who was still in the fake Himuro room with the paper.
"Yuya-kun, I received the information about the car accident you asked me to investigate."
Yuya took the paper and started reading it.
Reports show that famous painter Kazusei Himuro was one of the three survivors of a car accident ten years ago and suffered severe burns on his face.
Photos of the rescuers were also published. The three people in the photos were none other than Minamikawa Yosuke, Takamoto Daisuke and Mitsuka Kaori who had already been killed.
"Apart from the impersonation, the contents of the letter match those of Mizusawa's suicide note." said Shiratori Renzaburo.
Yuya nodded slightly.
From this point of view, Mizusawa Masazo is indeed the murderer of three people.
Back to the restaurant in the annex, the rest of the people gathered here.
Several people held pieces of paper in their hands and discussed excitedly: "Do you think my signature is the last work of Bingshi Yisheng? Will it be very valuable?"
"Idiot, that Bingshi Yisheng is fake. What's the use of a fake name signed by a fake person? And the handwriting is so ugly, who would believe that it was signed by Bingshi Yisheng!" One of them sighed.
Youye looked at those people and shook his head helplessly.
Walking up to Jiuji Hairen, he looked at the script on the table with a sad face.
Seeing Youya coming over, he sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that such a good script is gone. The filming is all over this time." Then he threw the script aside.
Yuya picked up the script and flipped through it, and suddenly found something strange at the top of the script, so he pulled Jiuji Kaito.
"Mr. Jiuci, this script..."
"Forget it, if it's worthless, what's the point of using it!"
The man who was very excited at first and thought he had gotten rich, after realizing that the fake signature was worthless, angrily crumpled up the paper into a ball and threw it behind him, hitting Yuya on the head.
"Ah, you idiot!" the companion cursed.
The man looked back and immediately bowed his head to apologize: "Sorry, Kamiya-kun, I didn't mean it."
You shook his head indifferently, picked up the piece of paper and unfolded it. On it were the words "Issei Himuro" written crookedly.
Wait! Yuya's eyes suddenly widened, and the image of "Mizusawa Shozo" on the suicide note appeared in his mind. When he compared it with the image of Himuro Kazusei on the paper, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Hey," Youya walked over and held the man's shoulder, "Is this what the fake Himuro signed for you?"
The man nodded blankly.
"Which hand did you use?" Youya asked immediately.
"Um, the right hand. Officer Shiratori also asked about it." The man answered stupidly.
Yuya's eyes widened, and he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Mizusawa Shozo's room.
"Yuya-kun, what's wrong?" Shiratori Renzaburo caught up.
You didn't answer him and started searching the room with gloves on.
"Don't destroy the scene at will..." Shiratori Renzaburo muttered softly, but he also knew that Youye must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.
Soon, Youya found a pair of scissors in the drawer of the desk.
He stared at the scissors intently, then picked up the box of the scissors and turned it over to the bottom to take a look. Suddenly, a dark light flashed in his eyes: "It turned out to be like this..."
"What's going on?" Shiratori Renzaburo had a lot of question marks on his head.
"Officer Shiratori," Youya turned to look at him and slowly raised the scissors in his hand, "It's not over yet. The murderer, the Snow Yasha we saw, is not Mizusawa Shozo at all!"
