Chapter 146: Watering the Grass and Building an Ice and Snow Bridge

Chapter 146: Watering the Grass and Building an Ice and Snow Bridge

Youye led everyone to the broken wall.

Shiratori Jinzaburo was quite looking forward to it. Although he knew that Youya had cracked the murderer's method, he didn't know how he did it specifically.

These detectives love to be riddlers! They never say a word more until the very last moment.

Unless you can provide him with the clues and information he needs, he will only say a little in exchange.

How can it be repaired?

"Everyone, do you see this broken wall?" Youye pointed to the broken wall about 4 meters away.

"Um, Yuya-kun, you're not thinking of jumping over here, are you?" Kuji Kaito poked his head out and looked.

The distance was neither short nor long, but he thought he could not jump over it; and at this height, he would not die if he fell, but it would be difficult to get up after falling down, right?

Youya raised an eyebrow: "Jump? Of course you can jump over, but that's not what I'm saying."

Mari Tamura was a little panicked. Could it be that this detective had really seen through her methods?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

But seeing how confident he is...

"So how do we get over there? And even if people can jump over, what about the cars? We saw Marika-chan driving to the main building!" Someone raised a question.

Mari Tamura looked at the man with gratitude and said, "If you can speak, please say more."

"Okay, without further ado, I will now demonstrate to you how the murderer carried out his method."

"Mr. Assistant, are you ready?" Youye looked at the other side, took out the walkie-talkie and said.

"Ready!" came the reply from the intercom.

Everyone looked across and saw the photographer's assistant standing on the other side, waving vigorously towards them.

"Hey, when did he go there?" Jiuji Hairen was a little surprised.

"I asked him to drive over there before the gathering." Yuya said.

"Everyone, please move aside," Youya shouted to the other side after everyone had made room, "Alright, throw it over here!"

"I'm coming!"

The assistant shouted and swung his hands hard, and everyone saw something flying over. Upon closer inspection, it was a rope tied to a stone.

"Snap, snap!" A total of four ropes were thrown over.

Yuuya secured the rope.

"Yuya-kun, you're not thinking of using these ropes to get over there, are you?" Jiuji Kaito was a little skeptical. With just these few ropes, people might be able to get over there, but it's impossible for a car to drive over there?

"No, this is just the beginning of the process. Don't be anxious, just watch quietly." Youye said lightly.

Jiuji Hairen made an "oh" sound and fell silent.

"First, connect this side to the other side with a rope, then lay some hay..."

After Youye tied the rope, he directed several odd jobs staff to spread the hay that had been prepared long ago on the side.

"Then cover it with snow..."

Cover with snow.

"The last step is to pour water on it. In this environment of minus ten degrees Celsius, stagnant water can freeze quickly."

The employees worked hard to fetch water from the stream using buckets and pour it up.

"Crack, click, click!"

In this temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, the water froze almost in the blink of an eye.

"This, this is!!!" Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

In just a few minutes, in front of so many people, a bridge made of ice, snow and hay spanned the broken walls on both sides.

"How about it? This way we can get through easily. The 25-minute driving time is shortened to one minute." Youye stood in the middle of the ice and snow bridge, stepped hard a few times, and found that it was much harder than he imagined.

"Besides, this location is behind the annex, blocked by many trees. No one would come here at night, so it would not be discovered at all."

“This, this, this…” Everyone stayed where they were. They couldn’t figure out that there was such a method.

"But, although this bridge can be walked on, can cars be driven across it? After all, it's just a bridge made of hay and ice and snow..." Some people didn't quite believe it.

Youya smiled slightly: "Have you heard of Cao Cao?"

Someone raised his hand: "Prime Minister Cao, of course he knows!"

"Did you know that during the Battle of Tongguan against Ma Chao, Cao Cao used water to fill the sand and built an ice city overnight using the extremely cold weather. This turned the situation around and defeated Ma Chao. This battle also completely changed the course of the Three Kingdoms... Sorry, I'm getting off topic."

"I would say that ice in this case is much stronger than you might think, very similar to concrete."

"If this was a concrete bridge, would you be concerned that it was not strong enough?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Mr. Assistant, you can drive the car over now."

The photographer's assistant drove over and stopped in front of the ice and snow bridge. He leaned out to take a look and asked worriedly, "Yuya-kun, it really won't collapse, right?"

"Don't worry!" Youye smiled and stood still.

The assistant swallowed, gently stepped on the accelerator, and drove onto the bridge.

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, their hearts hanging in the air.

The car slowly stopped in the middle of the bridge. Even under the pressure of such a heavy object, there was still no sign of collapse.

"This is actually true!" Everyone's eyes almost popped out.

Yuya smiled slightly and turned to look at Tamura Mari: "How about it, Mari-chan, is there anything wrong with my reproduction of the technique?"

Mari Tamura remained silent and said nothing.

When everyone looked at her, they immediately understood what was going on and began to believe about 80% of what Youye said.

"You turn off the taps that you opened to prevent the pipes from freezing. Once the water stops flowing, it will freeze quickly, and everyone will have to move to the other building without water."

"After arriving at the annex, you came here to make the ice and snow bridge. However, during the production process, Mr. Nanchuan came unexpectedly."

"Although it may be different from your plan, in order not to expose the secret, you have no choice but to kill him. Before he died, Mr. Nanchuan grabbed a handful of hay and left a message of death."

"You hid Mr. Nanchuan's body in the snowman, and then returned to the annex as if nothing had happened."

"While everyone was watching Ms. Kaori's surveillance, you pretended to be very unhappy with this behavior and wanted to drive to find her."

"Then, you used this ice bridge to get to the annex, and the 25-minute drive was shortened to less than 5 minutes. Then you changed into the clothes of the Snow Yasha and went to the main building to kill Miss Kaori."

"The camera was destroyed, but you took away Himuro's self-portrait in order to draw our attention to it."

"Then, calculate the time and drive back to the main building. Since you know the existence of the cameras, we must have seen Yuki Yasha killing people. For safety reasons, we will definitely let you go back to the annex."

"As for going back, if we have enough time, we can either go through this ice and snow bridge or follow the normal route."

"The above is the method used by the murderer to kill Kaori Mitsuka."

As Yuya slowly described the method of committing the crime, Tamura Mari's face became paler.

She could never have imagined that her perfect plan would be cracked by this young detective.

So, we shouldn't have called in real police and detectives from the beginning.

Otherwise, with the IQ of those idiots, who could see through her tricks?
