Chapter 280 Mr. Urata did not fall into the water accidentally
I have to say that Nanami Ishida's skills as a reporter are quite good. Not only are the videos she shot very clear, but she also recorded the content of the conversation clearly.
I don't know how she managed to take the photo without anyone else noticing.
The next two videos are nothing special, they are just simple shots of the scenery.
The last video shows the scene where everyone comes out to look for Kirikage Fuhiko after Izu Takeshi discovers that he is missing.
From the picture, we can see that Nanami Ishida was behind Shiho Miyano at that time.
Youya slowly looked at the contents inside, and gradually the scene came to the scene where they walked around the wooden path and came to the other side door of the wooden house.
"Hmm?" Youya suddenly pressed the pause button.
"Any discovery?" Shiratori Renzaburo was excited.
Miyano Shiho also looked at the screen carefully, but didn't find anything special.
Yuya nodded, played the image in reverse for a while, then slowed it down so that the image started moving again.
It can be seen that Nanami Ishida seemed to walk from the middle of the crowd to the front, intending to take pictures of the scene inside the wooden house. At this time, the camera swept past and happened to capture everyone in a very short time.
Youya counted the number of people carefully and found that one person was missing.
Playback continues.
The camera came to the wooden house. Nanami Ishida stayed on the body lying on the ground for a few seconds, and then took a general look at the situation in the wooden house.
Yuya rewound the video again and paused it on the image of the corpse.
"Hmm..." Youya pinched his chin and groaned.
Shiratori Renzaburo glanced at him and was too lazy to ask.
Anyway, as long as the case can be solved, it's fine. These detectives all have the same problem: they won't finish what they are saying until the very last moment.
If Youya heard this, he would definitely cry out in injustice. The reason why the detective did not state his reasoning in advance was because in the process of investigation he had to slowly connect all the clues and evidence to find the final murderer.
After all, no one is like Kogoro Mori who is in a "confused state" and can suspect someone of being the criminal based on a random guess.
Youya suddenly stood up, ran into the storage room where the bodies were placed, and lifted the blanket covering Kirikage Fuuhiko.
"Inspector Shiratori, please help turn the body over." Yuya said.
The two of them turned Kirikage Fengyan over together. Yuya glanced at the back of the corpse, frowned and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, glanced at Shiratori Renzaburo who was imitating him by pinching his chin in thought, and couldn't help asking: "Inspector Shiratori, have you found anything?"
Shiratori Renzaburo narrowed his eyes, then shook his head solemnly: "No."
Yuya & Miyano Shiho: "..."
So you can role-play detective here?
Youye shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, left the hotel, stood at the door and looked at the cabin on the water from afar.
Shiratori Renzaburo was standing nearby and couldn't help asking, "How did the murderer move the body here?"
When they passed by the hotel entrance for the first time, they did not see the body; when they noticed the strange light at the other door of the wooden house and thought that the murderer was chasing them, they found the body of Wuying Fengyan.
And everyone was there at the time.
When did the murderer leave the crowd, how did he move the body, and how did he finally return to the crowd?
"Who said the murderer moved the body here?" Youye suddenly said.
Shiratori Rensaburo looked at him in astonishment: "What?"
Yuya's lips curled up slightly: "Inspector Shiratori, remember to take the letter that Miss Hanye sent to everyone for fingerprint comparison tomorrow."
Shiratori Renzaburo said in embarrassment: "Although I brought tools, they are all simple portable ones. If I compare all of them, it will take a lot of time. Maybe even a day will not be enough!"
Youye said: "You don't need all, you just need..." and whispered a few words in his ear.
Shiratori Renzaburo thought for a while, and suddenly understood something. He looked at Youya with surprise and nodded solemnly.
Yuya said to Miyano Shiho, "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."
Miyano Shiho nodded slightly.
The two walked towards the room.
After the door opened, Miyano Shiho suddenly stopped, and while Youya was confused, she suddenly accelerated and rushed in and closed the door forcefully.
Yuya was caught off guard and almost hit his nose.
He touched his nose in grievance, knowing that he couldn't go in tonight, so he could only go back to his room obediently.
······
The next day
Shiratori Renzaburo notified everyone to gather in the living room, and he took the envelope to do a fingerprint test.
"Hey, Inspector Shiratori said you want to uncover the truth of this case. Is that true?" As soon as Daigo Sakano came over, he asked anxiously.
Yuya nodded and checked the time: "Right."
Sakano Daigo asked hurriedly: "Who is the murderer?"
Yuya glanced at the crowd, everyone was looking at him.
His face was calm, and he slowly said, "I have investigated thoroughly, the murderer of this serial murder case is among us!"
Sakano Daigo's face changed and he said impatiently: "Why are you still saying this? We all have alibis! How are you going to explain it?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Because this alibi itself is a trap!"
A trap? Everyone showed a surprised expression.
"What does that mean?" someone asked.
Yuya put his hands in his pockets, turned around and looked at the small warehouse next to the kitchen, and said: "The murderer secretly destroyed all the food here on the first night. This was the beginning of this well-planned murder."
"The next morning, we found that the food had been destroyed and there was nothing left to eat. Only some canned food was left. The murderer also took advantage of some people's reluctance to eat canned food, so it was natural for everyone to spontaneously look for food."
"Of course, even if no one objects to eating canned food, it doesn't matter. The murderer only needs to destroy the cans again. In this way, we will have to find food by ourselves."
"At that time, Mr. Izu and Mr. Sakano, who were the first group to go fishing, returned empty-handed."
Sakano Daigo said dissatisfiedly: "This is just a coincidence. No one can guarantee that they will catch anything when fishing, right?"
"No," Youya shook his head, "This was also part of the murderer's plan."
"Sorry, I don't understand at all." Sakano Daigo looked confused, "Can something like fishing be planned?"
"Yes, and it has a lot to do with the Siren's cry."
“I said it at the beginning, the Siren’s cry was caused by the rising and falling tides, and yesterday, Inspector Shiratori and I investigated the truth behind the cry - of course, we will talk about this later.
Because of the rise and fall of sea water, whether or not you can catch fish on this island depends entirely on the time.
It’s easy to catch fish during high tide, but almost impossible to catch fish during low tide.”
At this point, Youye was suddenly silent. It turned out that the reason he was able to catch fish was not because of his technological advancement or because he had gotten rid of the curse, but simply because there were too many fish that he didn't catch those strange things?
He shook his head in the face of everyone's strange gazes and continued, "The murderer knew about this special phenomenon and took advantage of it when Mr. Urata was killed in the second case."
"What?" Sakano Daigo showed a look of shock, "Didn't Mr. Urata accidentally fall into the water and drown?"
