Chapter 790 There is often a simple truth behind the supernatural (4000)
"Senior...senior...?"
Seeing Karasawa laughing suddenly, Naoki Kamei couldn't help but trembled, and quickly hid aside to put some distance between himself and Karasawa.
The fear in his eyes was beyond words.
It's no wonder that just now, I was still thinking about whether Takahara Yuko was suddenly taken over there. The always reliable senior next to me suddenly appeared in the same situation as the other party.
How could this not scare Uye Naoki?
Fortunately, Tangze still has the ability to rely on himself. After realizing that his behavior seemed to cause some misunderstandings, he quickly controlled his emotions.
"Sorry, sorry, I suddenly saw such a funny thing and couldn't hold it back for a while." Tang Ze couldn't help but chuckle twice again when he said this.
"Something funny?"
After hearing that Karasawa seemed to be normal, Naoki Kamei approached Karasawa cautiously: "Where is it?"
"Well, that's it, isn't it?" Tang Ze pointed to the insecticide advertisement on the transparent glass of the convenience store: "Look carefully at the person playing the cockroach."
"kindness?"
At Karasawa's reminder, Naoki Kamei took a closer look at the advertisement posted on the wall.
After excluding cat food ads and several other random ads, he focused on the cockroach's head on the exterminator ad.
"puff..."
When he saw the face of the character playing the role of cockroach in the advertisement, Uye Naoki couldn't help laughing, "She...how dare she...How dare she say it in this kind of advertisement..."
Before he finished speaking, Uye Naoki couldn't help laughing again, and it took a while before he recovered and stopped laughing.
"Before I saw the true nature of the matter, I thought it was a curse." Naoki Uyei looked at the advertisement and sighed: "But I didn't expect the truth to be so simple."
It turned out that the advertising photo the proprietress claimed to have taken was this insecticide advertisement, and she played the role of a cockroach in it, with her head attached to the insect's body.
I'm afraid Takahara Yuko has heard the landlady mention this before.
And after I discovered what the other party called an "advertising photo" yesterday, because this scene was so contrastingly joyful, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"So you're still far behind. When can you truly treat things that you don't understand temporarily and calmly, instead of thinking about supernatural things, will you be considered a master."
Karasawa patted Uye Naoki on the shoulder and immediately walked to the car on the side: "Let's go back to Hanaya's house."
"Eh? Why do you want to go back?" After hearing Karasawa's words, Naoki Kamei hurriedly trotted open the door of the passenger seat and said, "Have you noticed anything before?"
"Ah, that's right." Tang Ze turned the key and started the car: "Now go over and verify it yourself."
Although Naoki Kamei wanted to ask Karasawa what he had discovered, Karasawa, who was racing against time, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Hanaya family's mansion.
At this terrifying speed, Naoki Ueijing on the side quickly closed his mouth, for fear of biting his tongue when cornering.
........
Returning to Hanaya's house again, the two soon arrived at the villa where Yuko Takahara lived.
"Senior, what are you looking for?"
Looking at Karasawa who kept looking around after entering the house, Naoki Uye, who was recovering from physical and psychological discomfort after racing, couldn't help but ask.
"Cat."
While looking for a corner in the house, Tangze explained: "Did you see the biscuits on the deceased's coffee table? That's cat food."
It wasn't until Karasawa reminded him that he suddenly remembered that in addition to the insecticide advertisement, there was also an advertisement for cat food.
In the cat food advertisement, the tray contained biscuits with the same shape as those on Yuko Takahara's coffee table.
And this is why Tangze speculated that the other party had a cat.
As for why you are looking for a cat?
This is the key to another mystery.
Of course, the premise is to find the cat and confirm this reasoning.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched the house, they still couldn't find any trace of the cat.
"He couldn't have run outside, right?" Naoki Kamei panted slightly after looking through the house.
"It's not impossible. There are no traces of the cat food being tampered with."
Karasawa glanced at the tray, compared it with the image memory in his mind, and came to the conclusion: "Let's go outside and take a look first."
"boom!"
The two of them had just walked out of the door of the villa when suddenly a loud sound came from the side. This sudden movement made the two of them look over to find the source of the sound.
"It came from the utility room next to it."
Tang Ze raised his eyebrows when he saw the small house in front of him and said, "Go over and take a look. The noise just now was probably caused by the cat knocking over something inside."
However, as soon as the two of them arrived at the door, a girl suddenly appeared on the transparent glass above the door. This scene made Uye Naoki scream in surprise.
"Don't panic, this is probably Miss Minako's daughter."
Karasawa glanced at Uye Naoki angrily: "You are too timid."
"Everyone would be frightened when this suddenly comes out." Uekai Naoki muttered in a low voice: "Senior, you are the one with a big heart. I doubt you are afraid of this kind of feeling at all..."
"Hello~"
Karasawa ignored Ue Naoki's complaints, but looked at the little girl aside and smiled gently: "Kid, why are you staying here alone?"
"Healing."
The little girl with a watermelon head said in a sweet voice, then turned around and pointed behind her.
Tang Ze followed the direction the girl pointed and took the opportunity to look around the utility room.
Generally speaking, there are piles of messy things, such as brooms, kettles, toys, strollers, baby seats, feeding bottles, etc.
It seemed that a large part of it were items that the little girl in front of me had used.
On the ground over there, a young black cat was curled up motionless on the blanket.
"Wow... Even though I know this is raised by Ms. Yuko Takahara, I still can't help but make people feel scared."
When Naoki Kamei saw the black cat staring at him quietly, he couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back.
Originally, black cats were a somewhat taboo symbol, not to mention the rumor in "The Curse of the Rose" that the first one to be killed was Rina's black cat.
This amazing coincidence will inevitably frighten people.
But for someone like Tang Ze, who has already seen through the essence of everything and will not be shaken, this is just a coincidence caused by chance.
"Don't touch it!! Grandpa won't be able to bear it!!"
Looking at the girl and the black cat in the house, Karasawa was about to step forward and enter the cabin to check the situation, but unexpectedly, Minako Hanaya rushed directly into the utility room, hugged her daughter, and then walked outside.
"Sorry, who is this cat?"
Karasawa stopped Hanaya Minako and asked.
"I don't know, I wasn't here yesterday."
Minako Hanaya looked at the black cat who was holding it motionless with fear: "Why did you meet the black cat at this time? It's really unlucky..."
"I heard the meowing inside, so I opened the door and came in."
The little girl said with a sweet voice: "I found that Cat's foot was injured, so I wanted to find something to bandage it, and then the big brothers came over."
"So, the cat was already in the house, and you didn't bring it out?"
Seeing the little girl nodding, Karasawa thanked him, then looked at Hanaya Minako and asked, "Excuse me, you just said "grandpa can't stand it", is it because Mr. Hanaya Kozaburo is allergic to cats?"
"Yes, that's true...how do you know?" Minako Hanaya said in surprise.
"After all, your reaction is so great, this is the only possible outcome."
Naoki Kamei smiled and explained, then looked at Karasawa and said in admiration: "In this way, the true face of the other "curse" is also solved."
"Ah, let's end this case."
Karasawa chuckled and looked at Minako Hanaya: "Can you please inform the other members of the Hanaya family? It's time to understand this case."
"Has the case been solved!?" After hearing what Tang Ze said, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then he said happily: "That's great, dad and the others will be very happy if they know it!"
In response, Karasawa glanced at Hanaya Minako and sighed slightly.
As the suspects are all related to the Hanaya family, this is bound to be a tragedy.
It's a pity that the other party was dazzled by joy at this moment, and only wanted to end the case quickly, without realizing what this meant.
When everyone gathered in the hall, everyone in the Hanaya family looked at Tang Ze with a look of urgency on his face. Obviously, they wanted to know the truth more and escape from the unknown terror brought about by the "curse".
"Have you solved the mystery of the case?" Hanaya Fumiyo looked at Karasawa and said, "So, this is really not a curse?"
"Ah, that's right. If you have any questions, you can ask them and I will answer them one by one." Tang Ze nodded.
"Then please tell me, since Miss Yuko arrived, I couldn't help but cough, have a headache, and experience various physical discomforts whenever I get close to that villa."
After hearing Karasawa's words, Kozaburo Hanaya couldn't help but take the lead in asking this question that had been bothering him for a long time.
After all, this curse seems to have manifested itself on him, so naturally he cannot let go of this problem.
"About this, I think Ms. Minako already knows the answer."
Karasawa smiled and said, "We found Miss Yuko's secretly raised black cat in Miss Yuko's villa. I learned from Miss Minako that you are allergic to cats. I think this is the truth about the "curse"
Bar."
"It's just like this?" Hanaya Kozaburo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but it was obvious that he was relieved.
"Actually, the so-called curses, as long as the reasons are clear, many of them are simple but beyond comprehension." Tang Ze looked around and asked: "Is there anything else I need to answer?"
"So, the prisoner moved Yuko to the rose garden just to create the "curse of the rose" in the Hanaya family. Do you want to get away with it?"
Hanaya Toshio was a little angry when he heard this: "Which bastard did it!!"
"Maybe there are reasons for this, but these are actually not the focus of the prisoner's actions."
Tangze looked at everyone and said the answer: "The key point is the thorn of the rose."
"The thorn of the rose?" After hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone looked at each other, wondering why this was the key reason why the prisoner put the body in the rose garden.
"There is only one truth, and that is that prisoners need rose thorns to play their role."
Karasawa said this and looked around at the three men except Toshio: "The thorns of the roses left scratch marks on the back of the hands of the man who found the body."
"Is it that simple?" Toshio Hanaya was stunned when he heard this and said, "But why? Does this mean anything?"
"This is exactly the prisoner's intention." Tangze said with a smile.
"Is there any meaning behind this?" Naoki Uyei couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, if my reasoning is correct, I'm afraid this is a clever disguise designed by the prisoner using the thorns of the rose."
Karasawa looked around at the three Hanaya men with injured hands with sharp eyes and said: "I'm afraid there is an invisible wound on the back of the prisoner's hand.
But what had happened was irreversible, so he came up with this plan and moved the body from the room to the rose garden.
The next day, the murderer only had to pretend to carry the body and let the thorns on the rose deliberately scratch the back of his hand, so that he could cover up the original wound on the back of his hand."
As the saying goes, if you drop a drop of water into a glass of water, you will not be able to distinguish the original drop of water.
Although this strategy is not that exaggerated, it still uses more wounds to reasonably cover up the existing wounds on the back of the hand.
"Then what exactly is an "invisible wound"!" Toshio Hanaya asked eagerly after hearing this.
"Of course it is a very similar wound to the one scratched by the rose thorn." Tang Ze looked at the three of them with a faint smile: "And this is also a wound that proves that the person has been to the murder scene!"
"A wound that proves you have been to the murder scene!?"
As Karasawa finished speaking, everyone present involuntarily turned their attention to the three men of the Hanaya family who had injured their hands.
The three men couldn't stand the unbelievable and complicated looks from their family members, and looked at Tang Ze one after another.
"Mr. Criminal, please stop pretending and tell me directly!" Hanaya Kozaburo was the first to speak: "What kind of scar is that? Who is the prisoner!!"
"It's very simple, it's a cat scratch."
Seeing Karasawa looking at him, Naoki Kamei quickly replied: "The cat hiding in the utility room has an injury on its leg. I'm afraid it was caused by the prisoner driving the cat away after being scratched by the cat during the crime."
"Then where is the culprit! Who is it!!"
Hanaya Toshio's eyes were bloodshot, he grabbed Uye Naoki's shoulders and said excitedly: "Who killed Yuko!!"
Faced with the look of help from Naoki Kamei, Karasawa slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the three men.
