Inside the villa, the investigation is still continuing.
After Koshizu Nanatsuki had eaten curry, Shu Yunwen and the others couldn't resist their hunger after all, so they also asked for some bread from the servants in the villa and started to eat it.
Several people finished eating the bread and sat in the living room to rest. Nanatsuki Yuesui approached Shu Yunwen and asked Shu Yunwen: "Master Yunwen, what the previous chef Futian and the rice field secretary said, don't you think it's a bit strange?
?”
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes: "Isn't what they said normal? Because of the death of his daughter, the owner of this house, Otsuka Takeru, became depressed and his temperament changed drastically. He didn't care about the company's affairs and even found fault with the chef. There is no problem...
…”
How many gentlemen of wealthy families have good tempers?
"But, I always feel weird..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki said, and suddenly, a policeman from outside hurried in and reported urgently: "Officer Aida, we just got the traffic report from the Traffic Division that happened three years ago and was related to the Otsuka family.
Photos of the accident scene. In the photos of the crime scene at that time, we found something very concerning..."
The policeman said as he handed a stack of photos into Aida Hikoichi's hand.
Aida Hikoichi wore white gloves and looked at a stack of photos in his hand: "Is this deceased Mrs. Otsuka who died in a car accident? Well... wait, her body..."
Koshizui Nanatsuki saw the surprised look on Aita Hikoichi's face. He quickly stood up and walked quickly to Aoda Hikoichi's side. He leaned over and took a look at the photo. He was also stunned: "...Ms. Otsuka's right hand
The little finger actually..."
The policeman who took the photo explained: "We were shocked when we first got the photo. According to people from the traffic department, in the accident, Mrs. Otsuka's right little finger was caught by the car door during the impact.
Arrived, it was cut off abruptly..."
"Oh my God! It's so scary!" Yuanzi and the others also walked over curiously, and were shocked when they saw the photos of the car accident scene.
Shu Yunwen glanced at the photo in Aida Hikoichi's hand, and then thought about the fact that all the corpses were missing the little finger of their right hand, frowned and said: "...Now it seems that when the master killed someone, why did he cut off the little finger of the corpse's right hand?
The truth is also revealed... By the way, Mrs. Asai said before that the driver who eventually caused the car accident due to fatigue driving had to leave Kochi Prefecture under the pressure of Takeru Otsuka... Now it seems that he is likely to be
Was he killed by the master?"
"...He should be the first victim of this series of serial murders!"
Aida Hikoichi and Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded together: "Yes, given the current situation, this possibility is extremely high!"
"Otsuka Ken probably resented the driver very much, so he killed the driver and cut off his little finger. However, after that, for some unknown reason, he seemed to be obsessed with murder, so he
Will start to look for prey and kill it with the same method..."
Yuanzi and the others were listening, and all of them had their dim sums fuzzy.
While everyone was deep in thought, a police officer holding a mobile phone next to him said "Uh-huh" twice, then turned to look at Hikoichi Aida: "Officer Aida, the call from the station just now, the results of the handwriting identification have come out.
, it can be determined that the handwriting on the suicide note at the death scene is consistent with the handwriting on the document and calendar, and there is no possibility of imitation..."
"So, the suicide note was also written by the master himself!" Aida Hiko turned his head and his eyes fell solemnly on the three people of Kotani Renzo, Fukuda Sanji, and Yamamoto Tomoe, "Now, let's assume that the master has an accomplice.
, all three are very serious suspects..."
Kotani Renzo and Fukuda Sanji quickly shook their heads: "How could we do that kind of thing?"
Only the gardener Tomoe Yamamoto stared with a pair of sinister eyes and said nothing.
Sonoko stood next to Koshizu Nanatsuki and asked in a low voice: "Detective Koshizu, in my opinion, the accomplice must be the gardener Yamamoto Tomoe, right? Just now, the housekeeper Kotani and the chef Fukuda rushed to defend themselves, but he was the only one who remained silent.
Without saying a word, he must have acquiesced!"
"That's not necessarily true! Mr. Yamamoto might just be bad at communicating with people." Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled slightly, his eyes scanning the three suspects.
This case gave her an increasingly weird feeling, as if it had gone astray from the beginning...
Koshizui Nanatsuki was still pondering in his mind when suddenly, a policeman walked in and stammered: "Mr. Police Officer, we, we found blood stains on a fertilizer bag in the warehouse..."
"What? Is it blood?!" Aida Hiko's eyes lit up, and everyone around him also looked at Tomoe Yamamoto.
"Mr. Yamamoto, do you have anything to say?" Aida Hikoichi looked at Tomoe Yamamoto seriously.
Yamamoto Tomoe shook his head: "I have nothing to say. Who knows when those blood stains were stained? Maybe it was when the fertilizer was bought..."
Yuanzi acted like "I am a detective": "Those blood stains are most likely the blood stains left by the victims when he committed the murder! That's right! That's right! Aren't all the corpses missing the little finger of their right hand?
Mr. Yamamoto is usually responsible for taking care of flowers and plants, maybe he buried the little finger of the corpse in the flower bed..."
"Master Yunwen, do you think what I said is right?"
Yuanzi said the last word and turned to look at Shu Yunwen.
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes - Damn! How do I know this? But, having said that, it seems that what Yuanzi said is correct!
Aida Yanori nodded: "Well... what you said seems to make sense."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki held his chin and said, "Where is the fertilizer bag with blood stains on it? Can you let me take a look?"
The policeman immediately said: "The fertilizer bag is still in the warehouse, and forensics personnel are collecting evidence and investigating."
"In that case, let's go take a look together!" Shu Yunwen suggested.
"Say, that's right."
A group of people went to the warehouse together and saw several forensic personnel looking around a fertilizer bag. At the bottom of the fertilizer bag, there was a blood stain about the size of an index finger. In addition, on the fertilizer bag, there was also written
The production date of the fertilizer is two years ago.
Koshizui Nanatsuki only glanced at it casually, and then said: "The blood stains on it should not be left by the victim, right?"
Yuanzi asked curiously: "Why?"
Koshizu Nanatsuki said: "The production date on the fertilizer bag was two years ago. In other words, this should be the fertilizer Mr. Yamamoto bought two years ago. If it is said that it is really stained with the victim's
As for the blood stain, when the fertilizer is used up, Mr. Yamamoto should have discovered the blood stain and disposed of the fertilizer bag - after all, the blood stain is not small, as long as you look carefully, you will find it."
"Uh... could it be that he forgot?" Aida Hikoichi asked.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook his head with a smile: "How is that possible? If you were involved in a murder case, would you forget to handle the evidence?"
"Well... indeed..." Aida Yan nodded. No one would forget such an important thing, right?
"However, to be on the safe side, we'd better investigate the flower beds in the yard. It should be fine, right?" Aida Hikoichi asked.
Yamamoto Tomoe snorted coldly: "Whatever you like."
The police began to investigate the flowerbed in the yard again. As for Yamamoto Tomoe, he stood in the yard and watched everything.
Koutani Renzo and Asai Ruri walked out with kettles and cups. Asai Masato set up a table in the yard. Then Asai Ruri put the cups away, and Koutani Renzo held the kettle in his right hand, pouring one cup at a time.
Man: "Police gentlemen, if you are thirsty, there is water here."
"Thank you so much." The police officers thanked them.
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Koutani Renzo curiously: "When Mr. Butler poured the water just now, he used his right hand, right? But... Mr. Butler is left-handed, right?"
"Butler Kotani?" Fukuda Sanji didn't know when he stood beside Shu Yunwen and the others, "Butler Kotani is indeed left-handed. However, when he was young, he seemed to have been corrected by someone in his family, so
He can use both his left and right hands. I have seen him use chopsticks with his left hand, and I have also seen him use chopsticks with his right hand. They are both very skilled..."
"That's right..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, "Thank you for telling us this."
Sanji Fukuda scratched his head with a smile and said: "Hahaha! You're welcome, it's just a small matter after all... By the way, guests, what do you want to eat tonight? It's already 4:30 in the afternoon. You tell me in advance, and I also
Ready to cook.”
"Uh... no need." Shu Yunwen shook his head, "We will go back to the hotel in the evening."
"Really? I understand." Chef Futian responded to express his understanding, turned around and left, muttering, "...I originally wanted to make meat porridge tonight..."
Shu Yunwen and the others suddenly had black lines in their heads - why the hell are you talking about meat!
