Chapter 394 The truth behind the screams

Amuro Toru looked at Yuya in surprise, "No, you know something? How come I don't know?"

I couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?"

Yuu did not answer, but asked, "Mr. Amuro, if I remember correctly, Mr. Oro's room is right below the deceased, right?"

Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, recalled it and nodded in confirmation: "Yes, is there any problem?"

Yuya paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "If that's the case, then it makes sense, but when? And why the diamond? And most importantly, where is the evidence..."

Just as Toru Amuro was about to ask something, Miyano Shiho made a gesture to silence him.

Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment and glanced at Yuya. Although he was very curious, he finally did not say anything to interrupt his thoughts.

Youye suddenly looked up and ran upstairs quickly.

Toru Amuro and Shiho Miyano quickly followed.

The three of them came to Kentaro Nishikawa's room.

Yuya quickly scanned the room, especially the tables, chairs, books and other things scattered on the ground. He observed carefully and found that although these things seemed messy, they actually followed a certain pattern - they all fell in one direction, but nothing fell in the other direction.

At this time, Inspector Megure came with his men. He saw Yuya and said, "Brother Kamiya, it's too late today. We are going to go back first."

"Wait!" Youye quickly called out to them.

Inspector Megure was startled. Why was he shouting so loudly? But he reacted immediately and asked happily, "Brother Kamiya, have you made any progress?"

Yuya nodded slightly: "I already have a general idea."

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

Yuya hesitated, then nodded and said, "According to my reasoning, only one person has the chance to complete this trick. By the way, Inspector, have those three people been under your supervision all this time?"

Inspector Megure nodded: "That's right. Although their freedom is not restricted, there will be police officers following them whenever they leave."

Yuya touched his chin and nodded: "In this case, he didn't have the chance to dispose of the evidence. It should still be on him or in the villa. Can you help me find it?"

Inspector Megure naturally had no reason to object.

···

After a while, at the call of Inspector Megure, everyone came to Kentaro Nishikawa's room.

"Inspector, now you can tell me. Didn't you say you knew who the murderer was?" Saikawa Taro pulled his collar impatiently. "I have an important meeting to attend later."

"The meeting is not urgent," Youye suddenly appeared behind everyone. He calmly glanced at everyone and said slowly, "The most important thing now is to find the murderer."

"So, who is the murderer?" asked Taro Nishikawa loudly.

You did not answer, but looked at Nishikawa Misa: "Miss Misa, can you tell us why you went to see Mr. Nishikawa?"

Nishikawa Misa's face changed slightly. Why did you ask about this again? "Sorry, I don't want to talk about it..."

"Ms. Misa," Inspector Megure said angrily, "Please tell the truth, so as not to affect the investigation of the case."

Youya waved his hand: "It's okay, this matter is not important. Then, you were at the door when the screaming sounded, you should have heard it most clearly, can you tell me, is that Mr. Nishikawa's voice?"

Nishikawa Misa was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully for a while, she frowned and said, "I... am not sure. I knocked on the door but there was no response. The door was locked, and then suddenly there were screams and sounds of things falling to the ground in the room. I was startled, and before I could react, Mr. Amuro and others came over."

Inspector Megure frowned immediately: "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me when you were questioning me before?"

Nishikawa Misa looked scared: "I wanted to tell you, but I felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable. If I told you, you would be suspected, so I kept it secret."

Inspector Megure frowned: "Indeed, since the scream came from Mr. Nishikawa, the murderer should still be in the room at the time, and Mr. Amuro and others were at the door immediately..."

"The only exit was occupied, and the window was not even open enough for someone to pass through. So, how did the murderer leave the room?"

Everyone looked at Nishikawa Misa with suspicion. According to this statement, she must be the murderer? She pretended to open the door, but actually locked it.

Inspector Megure also cast a puzzled look at Yuya.

“No, no, no,” Youya shook his head, “Ms. Misa, in fact, when you heard the screams and the sound of things falling to the ground, Mr. Nishikawa was already dead.”

"What? Brother Kamiya, are you serious?" Inspector Megure widened his eyes.

You did not answer immediately, and asked again: "Ms. Misa, you are closest, can you confirm that the scream was made by Mr. Nishikawa himself?"

Nishikawa Misa was stunned and said blankly: "Maybe...right? I was scared at the time and didn't look carefully."

Yuya looked at the others again, and they all said that they didn't hear it clearly.

Only Amuro Toru spoke up: "It was indeed a scream, but the sound was a little strange, as if..."

Youya suddenly smiled and said, "Is that the sound?"

Hmm? Just when Amuro Toru was puzzled, a dull scream suddenly sounded behind everyone.

Everyone was startled and looked back in shock, only to see Miyano Shiho holding a balloon and a cork in her left and right hands, looking at them with an innocent face.

Inspector Megure's mouth twitched slightly: "Ms. Mio, what are you doing?" What's wrong with this girl? They are just solving a case, why is she scaring people for no reason?

Yuya walked over, took the balloon and cork from Miyano Shiho, held the two things in front of him, and said, "I just want everyone to confirm whether the scream at that time was like this."

Amuro Toru was the first to react. He frowned and thought for a while, and finally said affirmatively: "Yes, it is indeed such a cry!"

Inspector Megure's eyes narrowed as he looked at the balloon and the cork and asked, "Brother Kamiya, what is this?"

Youya smiled and said, "This is actually a kind of prank prop sold on April Fool's Day to play a prank on people."

Inspector Megure was full of black lines: "Tricky props?"

Youye nodded: "Yes, I also found it by chance on the ceiling of the living room. Mr. Butler should know what happened, right?"

The butler was stunned for a moment. He had already seen this thing familiar. When Youya mentioned that he had found it on the ceiling of the living room, he suddenly remembered it and said quickly:

"That's right. The master bought this on April Fool's Day to scare people. It was hung on the ceiling at the time. Not only us, but also Mr. Dalang and Mr. Jiro, who heard that the master was not feeling well and went home to visit him, were scared!"

The housekeeper said with some regret: "I still remember that the master laughed very happily at that time, saying that you were too timid to be scared by such a small prop."

"But who would have thought that the master who was laughing so happily at that time would actually..."

As he spoke, the butler, whose hair was already somewhat gray, actually began to sob softly.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Youya walked over and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. When the murderer is caught, remember to tell him about this."

The housekeeper wiped his tears and nodded vigorously.
