Chapter 282 The Secret of Corpse Movement
Izu Takeshi's face looked a little ugly. He said in a deep voice: "Humph, even if this device makes sense, what about Mr. Wuying? I was always on the wooden path with you guys at that time!"
"There's no chance to move the body, right?"
Youye chuckled: "No, you don't need to move the body, because... the body has been there all along and has not moved!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Izu Takeshi's expression changed, but everyone else's as well.
Ishida Nanami exclaimed: "How is this possible? When we came out of the hotel to look for Mr. Kirei, we didn't see any body at all!"
Youye smiled and said, "This is actually very simple. I think everyone has seen magic tricks, right? Do you know a magic trick where a coin penetrates a cup?"
Everyone nodded. This was a very common little magic trick. The principle was very simple. It was just to put a coin in the cup in advance, and then use words and actions to make the audience mistakenly believe that the coin in their hand had passed through the cup.
Yuya thought for a moment and said, "In fact, the murderer's method is similar to the principle of this magic, but it may not be easy to understand just by saying it this way. Everyone follow me."
Yuya led everyone back to the living room, took out a piece of paper, and drew a simple map of the hotel, wooden house, and two wooden paths on it.
Then he took out two 100-yuan coins and a 500-yuan coin and said, "This newer 100-yuan coin represents Mr. Izu, and the old 100-yuan coin represents Mr. Wuying who has passed away. Then, this 500-yuan coin represents us."
"Last night we worked together to search for the missing Mr. Wuying," Youya stacked the new 100 yuan and 500 yuan together and walked along the wooden path leading to the wooden house. "We saw the light of the wooden house was on, so we went over to check the situation."
“Then, because the cabin door was locked, we went back and took another route to the other side of the cabin.”
The two coins go all the way back to the inn and then head to the other road.
"When we passed by the hotel, we didn't see Mr. Wuying's body. In fact, Mr. Wuying was behind or near the stairs at the time, hiding in the dark. It was too dark at night and we all thought Mr. Wuying was in the cabin, so we didn't check too closely."
"And after you passed the cabin, you started your own actions."
Yuya separated the two coins, then placed the old 100-yuan note on the hotel's spot and poked the coin hard.
"You move Mr. Wuying, who has been knocked unconscious, out of the dark, and then kill him with a harpoon."
"Then, you follow the path you took at the beginning back to the cabin and use the hidden key to open the door," the new 100 Yuan walked along the straight road to the cabin, "you go inside, quickly take out the hidden life jacket, insert the harpoon, put it on, and lie on the ground pretending to be Mr. Wuying's body."
"At the same time, you used a steel pipe to prop up the wooden door to prevent someone from breaking in."
Yuya suddenly pulled out a bent steel pipe from under the table and placed it on the table, shocking everyone.
"This is the steel pipe. Although I am very strong, I failed to kick the door open. I just bent the steel pipe."
"Then, while we were banging on the door, you secretly cut the wires, dimming the lights so we couldn't see what was going on inside. Then from the other side, you put a glow stick in a plastic bottle into the water, and that's when the strange light we saw appeared.
Finally, when our attention was attracted by the light, you opened the door and followed to the back of the team, pretending to be with us all the time.
So, there were actually two bodies at the time of the crime. One was the dead Mr. Kiriying, and the other was Mr. Izu who appeared in our sight and was lying in the wooden house.
The above is all the methods you used to kill Mr. Wuying. There may be some discrepancies in the details, but it should be pretty close."
Yuya looked at Izu Takeshi, whose face looked a little ugly and heavy, and asked, "Well, Mr. Izu, did I say anything wrong?"
Izu Takeshi remained silent.
Sakano Daigo looked at him in disbelief: "Mr. Izu, is it really you..."
Izu Takeshi raised his head and stared at Yuya and asked, "Where's the evidence? All this is just your reasoning. Although it sounds reasonable and can be implemented, do you have evidence to prove that I am the murderer?"
The corners of Yuya's mouth curled up slightly. When these words came out of Izu Takeshi's mouth, it meant that the case was almost over.
Miyano Shiho's eyebrows twitched slightly. Is this familiar conversation about to happen...
Yuya raised his lips and said confidently: "Of course, if I am not absolutely sure, I will not stand here."
He looked around and muttered, "But why is Inspector Shiratori so slow? He seems not very experienced in his job!"
At this time, Shiratori Renzaburo hurried over and said, "Brother Kamiya, sorry to have kept you waiting." He was holding a transparent file bag with a stack of envelopes in it.
Ishida Nanami said in surprise: "Isn't this the letter that Miss Hanye sent to us? Inspector Shiratori just said that she would take it away as evidence. How come it is here with you?"
Yuya said, "I asked Inspector Shiratori to take it from you all in order to obtain evidence. Inspector Shiratori, what was the result?"
Shiratori Renzaburo said: "After comparison, no fingerprints of Mr. Izu were found on any of the letter papers."
"Hurry! Look," Izu Takeshi said loudly, "If I am really the murderer, then these letters are prepared by me, right? But there are no fingerprints on them, doesn't that prove that I am not the murderer?"
"Mr. Izu, do you know what is written in this letter?" Yuya suddenly asked.
Izu Takeshi answered subconsciously: "Of course I know. Didn't our superiors tell us to gather at the salon at 10 o'clock?"
Youya raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You mean, you've read the letter?"
Izu Takeshi frowned: "Of course I have read it, otherwise how would I know the content?"
"Really?" Youya smacked his lips, "Then may I ask what you think?"
Izu Takeshi showed an angry expression: "Are you kidding me? Of course I should open the envelope and take out the letter..." In an instant, Izu Takeshi's face became very ugly.
He realized...that he seemed to have made a fatal mistake.
Yuya looked at Shiratori Renzaburo.
Shiratori Renzaburo nodded and said slowly, "The letter that Mr. Izu opened also had no fingerprints. In other words, you didn't actually take out the letter to read the contents, but you followed the instructions on it and gathered at the salon."
Yuya took over the conversation: "Then may I ask Mr. Izu, why are there no fingerprints of yours on it? You don't think you were wearing gloves at the time? Or... did you really open the envelope and read the contents?"
Izu Takeshi's body trembled slightly, and he was silent for a moment. Suddenly, a look of relief appeared on his face: "I admit defeat. I didn't expect that you are so young, but your ability to solve cases is better than that of this inspector."
Shiratori Renzaburo: ??? I admit my guilt, but why are you making personal attacks on me?
"Ah, it seems you don't know." Ishida Nanami covered her mouth and said in surprise, "This Kamiya boy is a very famous high school detective in Tokyo!"
"Detective?" The others showed expressions of surprise and sudden enlightenment.
Yuya smiled casually. He originally came here for fishing, but he didn't expect to encounter a murder case. However, no one hindered him during the investigation, so he didn't reveal his identity.
He looked at Izu Takeshi and asked, "Mr. Izu, what is your motive?"
Izu Takeshi gave a bitter smile and sat down casually, his whole body drooping as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"These people deserved to die..."
Izu Takeshi has a lovely daughter who is very obedient and sensible. Although he is often not at home because of work, his daughter has never complained about anything.
But one day, my daughter suddenly fell ill, and the examination results showed that she had a malignant pediatric tumor.
Izu Takeshi was on a business trip at the time. When he returned home, he only saw an urn - his daughter's condition worsened and she died in just two weeks.
“But how is that possible!” Izu Takeshi clenched his fists and said angrily, “My job is to provide medical equipment and drugs to the hospital, and I also have some knowledge of medical treatment. The last time I saw my daughter, she looked very healthy. Even if she had a malignant tumor, it is impossible for her to die in just two weeks!”
Yuya's expression changed and he couldn't help but look at Fengtian Xiajian. Could it be that the new drug was the cause?
"Later, I approached them by providing drugs to their hospital. After a secret investigation, I finally found out that my daughter had become a test subject for a new type of drug, and the people in charge were Wuying and his group!
During the investigation, I also found that in addition to my daughter, many other patients also died because of that drug! This is not a clinical trial at all, it is simply a vicious human experiment!"
Yuya lowered his head and remained silent.
Shiratori Renzaburo looked sad and whispered, "Since you have investigated to this extent, you must have collected a lot of evidence, right? Why don't you just report them?"
"I did go out to collect evidence with this purpose in mind at first, but at a reception, Wuying got drunk. Do you know what he said?"
Izu Takeshi suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs: "Wigei, that scumbag, he deliberately changed my daughter's disease into a malignant tumor in order to test the reaction of this drug on children and then forced her to use the drug. As a result, my daughter died from the strong side effects!"
"She died just like that..." Izu Takeshi covered his face and cried bitterly, "My daughter, she could have lived a good life..."
Everyone was silent, and almost everyone was thinking: These people really deserved to be killed, and it would be better to kill them so that no innocent people would be harmed in the future.
It's a pity that such a thing will never happen again just because Wuying died...
