Jiang Xia noticed something and glanced at the door, only to see the door shaking slightly.
Others did not notice Mao Lilan coming and going. Their attention was still on the so-called "body that walked from the warehouse to the swimming pool."
Several high school students who had witnessed the "weird" turned green: "Wait, you mean, the person we saw wearing a full set of protective gear and carrying a protective gear bag was actually a dead person? This...
…How can this be!"
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment: "I just said that he will be a dead person in the future - the person you see is actually a dead person who is still alive. Kendo protective gear also includes a mask. Wearing it to cover the face makes it difficult to distinguish the wearer.
identity of."
The Otaki Police Department was a little confused: "But before that, three people witnessed his body in the sports warehouse."
"They just stood at the door and took a look from a distance. They didn't get close to check whether it was alive or dead."
Jiang Xia said: "So the steps of committing the crime are probably that the murderer first put sleeping pills in Mr. Chuijian's drink to make him fall asleep, then took him to the sports warehouse, sprinkled red fake blood all over him, and inserted 'bloodstained'
'A real knife, disguised as a 'crime scene'.
"Afterwards, the murderer and two other people searched for the missing Atsushi Uumi and found the sports warehouse. The light there was dim and it was difficult to distinguish real blood from fake blood. The other two people thought Mr. Uumi was dead, so they were separated by the murderer
, one went to the police station, and the other naturally ran to the captain to report the situation.
"The murderer himself, after calling an ambulance on his mobile phone, left and returned, woke up Atsushi Tsumi in the warehouse, asked him to cover the bloodstains on his body, and immediately went to the locker room of the swimming pool."
"Nonsense!" Kotegawa Shun was sweating like rain, "Who doesn't know that that guy has a bad character and can't listen to others - I don't have a good relationship with him, how could he listen to me!"
Jiang Xia pointed in the direction of the annex: "As for this issue, why not go to the sports warehouse just now and take a look."
…
In the sports warehouse of the annex, the light is still very dark.
There seemed to be no blood and no body here. It was still doubtful whether it was a crime scene, so the police did not pay attention to this area for the time being, and mainly explored the bathing room of the swimming pool.
When they arrived at the warehouse, the two police officers followed the detective's instructions and walked to the vault box where the "corpse" was leaning, opened the top cover, and looked inside.
Then he said "Ah!" in shock: "Police department, inside...there is a body inside!! It's a man named Hakamada!"
"……What?!"
Compared to the Otaki Police Department, the members of several kendo clubs nearby had a huge reaction.
They suddenly turned to look at their captain, and instinctively took a few steps back. Suddenly, there was a circle around the captain.
"..." The captain was also stunned for a moment. After a while, he came back to his senses and frowned, "No way, I am Hakamada!"
...He was standing here perfectly, why did he suddenly die?
The Otaki Police Department looked at him suspiciously, then walked over to the vaulting box and took a peek inside.
A horrifying-looking corpse suddenly came into view - inside the box, a man fell on his back, with splattered horrific bloodstains all over his body. He was wearing kendo protective gear, and on the hanging cloth in front of him was written clearly:
There are two big characters on it, "Hakamada".
The captain was really curious about why he died, so he walked to the side and looked inside.
Seeing the scene inside clearly, he was stunned for a moment: "This is my hanging cloth! I suddenly couldn't find it just now, so I had to temporarily wear a pair without a name printed on it." He lowered his head and fiddled with what he was wearing.
There is indeed nothing written on the protective gear.
…
The scene was a bit scary, but the Otaki Police Department had seen many corpses and was not frightened.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached in and explored.
Originally, he wanted to confirm the life and death of the person in the box. However, after probing like this, he was suddenly startled: "This hand feels... not very human."
Jiang Xia: "It's a puppet used for practicing first aid. It was put on protective gear, poured with fake blood, and disguised as a corpse."
He looked at several members of the kendo club: "The relationship between the deceased and the captain must be very bad - I overheard you arguing before. They seemed to have had friction on emotional issues?"
"Indeed." The college student in question nodded, "Our former manager chose the captain. After that, he always disliked the captain and often said things like, 'I will kill you sooner or later.'
We were a little nervous at first, but then we didn’t even bother to talk to him.”
Jiang Xia nodded and continued: "The murderer pushed away the other two people. When he returned to the warehouse, he stuffed the bloody knife into Juijian's hand. Then he woke him up in a panic and showed him the vaulting horse.
The 'corpse' in the box made Chuijian think that he accidentally killed someone while drunk.
"Juijian originally harbored resentment towards the captain, and because he had just woken up and was still not clear-headed, he really thought he had committed a murder and had no time to check whether the person in the box was a real person or a doll.
"At this time, the murderer only needs to pretend to be enthusiastic and suggest that he 'put on protective gear to hide his identity, take his bloody clothes and the murder knife to the changing room of the swimming pool, wash off the blood and then sneak away', and then he can make Zuomi willingly take away the evidence.
, walked to the swimming pool by myself.
“In this way, when witnesses outside see Chuujian wearing protective gear, they will mistakenly think that the murderer carried the body to the swimming pool in a protective gear bag after killing him.
"When Chuijian changed clothes in a hurry and headed to the swimming pool, the murderer could just go around and ambush there in advance, and he could kill people in the chaos. Then he would put the body under the nozzle and shower it with hot water to wash away the paint at the same time.
, while confusing the real time of death. Afterwards, the murderer hid the protective gear worn by the deceased in a safe place, and then went to the police station to find Mian Gu, so that he could make a so-called alibi.
"With an alibi, the murderer can serve as a witness and temporarily escape the police's sight.
"His original plan was to come to the sports warehouse to recover the fake corpse in the vault box, and then apply the real blood left on the vault box to pretend that there really was a corpse in the warehouse. But..."
The Otaki Police Department was shocked by this audacious method.
Then he felt a little lucky: Fortunately, everything happened so fast, and he didn't let these people from the Kendo Club leave at all.
In this case……
"Search the locker room and warehouse immediately for that protective gear bag!" He directed his men, and then looked at Jun Otekawa, "Mr. Otekawa, can we check your protective gear bag?"
"..."
There was a sound of kneeling down.
Followed by the sound of fists hitting the ground: "Damn it!"
Jun Otekawa was very confident before and never thought that such a sophisticated plan would be exposed. Therefore, after looking back, he knew how many clues he had left behind in the process.
